Title: Hiding From the Truth
Author: Amy - AngelicDreamer57⊕hotmail.com
Category: M/L (Is there any other couple in the world? *gasp* There is? Why didn’t I get the memo.)
Summary: love me max & liz 4ver's challenge. Post graduation. Liz is pregnant from their wedding night. Max doesn’t know. To find out how and other unanswered questions read on.
Disclaimer: I do not belong to the show, it’s characters or it’s creators.

Part One

It’s been two months on the road. Two long months of hiding from the law… and my secret from Max. I should tell him. My mind and body screams for him to know because… he’s involved and should know. But my heart aches when I see him everyday. With the same determined look on his face. With the same worn down look in his body language.

He blames himself. For everything. For everything that has happened and he thinks he’s the reason that we’re all out here right now. Running. And he’s terrified we’re going to get caught. But in all truth, wouldn’t blame fall on me? I got shot. I was the reason he let his secret get out. I don’t need to add another responsibility to his shoulders. At least not until he needs to know.

Tess said hybrid pregnancies last four months. But the baby turned out full human. (I’m going with the show and their drug addict writers, I do not believe that.) And I’m human… or am I? I do have the powers but Nesado said that the powers came from their human minds, not the alien side. Not really. So, does that still make me full human since there’s no alien DNA inserted in me.

I guess it’ll be awhile for my questions to be answered. And I sit here, staring at Max’s peaceful face. It’s only like this in his sleep. I think everything that happened to him the last few years have caught up with his whole waking demeanor. And I can only wish for simpler times. When our love was pure, true and, real. Max uttered those words to me two months ago when he asked me to marry him. That’s what he said I was. I wish he was right, but my whole life has changed.

And sometimes, us being together doesn’t make sense.


Max groggily rubs his eyes and open them. Turning over, he is greeted by the site of his love. But she’s not laying down next to him. “Liz?” He knew what she was doing. She did it almost every night. Writing in her journal. The one he had to make since her old journal, the one from when he saved her was with her parents. Probably burned by now.

Liz graces an apologetic smile his way. “Sorry,” she whispers. “I just had to write.”

He gives her a reassuring smile, “Don’t worry about it,” he shrug it off. “I’m glad you still have that. Are you ready to come back to bed?”

Liz looks down at the pages laid out in front of her before answering. “Yea, just give me a second.”

And other times, I know exactly why we were meant to be…”

Liz climbed into bed, her face buried in Max’ chest. His settled on the top of her head. And a tangle of body and limbs.

Tomorrow night instead of a hotel, it'll be their turn in the van. That's the way their lives were now. Jumping from hotel to hotel. Sometimes they'd drive through the night. But they didn't know where to go, and were too scared to stop, so they ran.


TBC…?


I know that this is an extremely short first part. It‘s just an opener. BTW, I don‘t plan this to be very long. Only about 5 (?) parts. Maybe 10.

BIG thanks to Jen (Talena) for helping me try to write this.

I'm giving up so you get a short part two.

Part Two

At first it was darkness. That's all I saw. But the emotions were, childlike; carefree. Then the knocks. They came in slow motion, like on TV and in the movies. Time stood still. And I knew something wasn't right about whoever was behind that door.

And the lights came on. There was a mobile there. The head turns both ways and I notice that I'm in a crib.

A middle aged woman, brown hair, green eyes, came out of the kitchen with her apron still on, looks at me and coos then walks toward the door.

"Good evening, m'am." A voice from behind the door says coolly. "Can we see your baby?"

The woman gasps, "My baby? What would the FBI want with Jakey?"

"M'am, we are not allowed to disclose any information to the public at this time." He looks over the woman's shoulder toward me. "I'm sorry."

Then I see these guys with an all black outfit and the letters 'FBI' etched on their backs hold down the woman, Fear written all over her face. She's scared for her baby, I think. And before I know it, I'm being picked up by the guy that was talking to her. I guess he wanted me alive because he held me gently, trying to hush the cries escaping from my lips. And I think this baby has gone through something like this before. Losing it's parents.


Liz gasps out of breath as she gets pulled out of her dream. 'Oh god,' she thinks. 'This can't be good.'

"Liz? What's wrong?" Max says, sitting up beside her.

"Nothing." Liz mumbles, "It was just a dream. It was just a dream. It was just a dream." she chants.

"Liz, sweetie, what's wrong? What happened in the dream?" Max says in a panic. This wasn't the first time a dream shocked Liz. Her powers have gotten more and more powerful and now she can recieve images and flashes without anyone's aid.

"You have to tell me, Liz. Something's wrong." Max pleas. They might have to help someone.

"Something's always been wrong, Max. Always." She says to herself, thinking Max couldn't hear. "But that's okay. The dream was probably nothing."

Max looks skeptically at Liz, "Are you sure?"

She smiles reassuringly, "Positive. I'll tell you if something else happens, promise."

"Okay." He finally says. "I'm gonna go take a shower. You rest for a little." Then kissed her temple before walking to the bathroom.

Liz sighs when he's out of earshot. What am I going to tell him? she thinks. This couldn't be good. Who was 'Jakey' and what did the FBI want with him? Also, how did she get that flash from him? Yes, she could tell the future, but it was usually people she knew and were connected to and most of the time when they were touching. How could she get a flash from a complete stranger? Location, unknown.

But why didn't she tell Max? That was the bigger question. Why didn't she just tell him she was dreaming about a baby who was carried away by the FBI? It wasn't that special. And Jake could be hurt right now, although she doubted that fact. The way the agent held the baby showed he needed him. But why? Why was Jake so special that they had to take him from his home? Questions clouded Liz's mind as Max walked out, all showered and dressed.

His brows furrowed together as he saw Liz deep in thought. "I thought you said it was nothing." he quietly told her, breaking her trance.

"It is." she says quietly, "But I'm just thinking."

"We can't lie anymore, Liz." He told her quietly, "We're a team. You and me. We're in this together." the emotion in his voice couldn't be more raw. He knew he screwed up and wondered if he was going to pay for it forever.

"I know." Liz says, "But the dream. It was... it didn't hold a lot of information. And, I want more, so we can help. I'll tell you when there's something we can do. Right now, we can't do anything about this. Only worry about our own asses." she cracked a smile. "But, I need to take a shower right now." She walked off, but not before giving him a good morning kiss.

~*~*~



TBC?

I told you! Short, but at least it was longer than the first part, right? But I promise you, they will get longer! I swear they will! Just when I get my brain back! Hopefully this will hold you for a little bit.

Part Three

Max walks out in nothing but a white towel around his waist.

Always liked black better Liz thinks wickedly. "Liz? Have you seen my clothes?" Max acts innocently while walking around trying to find his misplaced clothes. He looks up and noticed Liz's darkened eyes and gulps. He could feel his lower anatomy filling up. This woman is going to be the end of me, he thinks.

"I always thought clothes were overrated," Liz replies, keeping eye contact before looking him up and down.

"Really?" Max gulps again and unconsciously moves closer to the bed.

"Uh huh," Liz says in mock innocence, "But since you want yours so much, you better start looking. I need to take a shower." She winks his way then runs when she see Max coming her way.

She runs into the bathroom but forgot to close the door. Max goes in after her and Liz looks down at his lower anatomy, "Max, you lost your towel." then looks back up.

He holds in a chuckle, "I always thought it was over rated anyway." He shrugs before taking her head in his hands and kissing her senseless.

Once their lungs were dying of lack of oxygen his lips moves down the crook of her neck. Nibbling, sucking, nipping and flicking with his tongue. Down to the collar of her shirt. Not wanted to lose contact, he uses his powers to get rid of the extra-large shirt. Down the swell of her breast. He encompasses her right nipple into his mouth....

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh god." Maria mutters, covering her head with the pillow underneath Michael's head.

"Hey!" Michael yells half asleep. "That's my pillow."

A groan.

He grabs the pillow from Maria.

A breathy moan.

"Ahh!" Maria screams in a sleep filled voice, "They're at it again! It's too early. Tell them to quit already."

Michael grunts, falling back asleep.

"Michael?" Maria waits for a reply. "Michael?" Another wait. "Damn, he fell asleep again."

Maria rolls onto the ground and crawls to the wall facing Max and Liz's room and bangs on it, hoping to get Max or Liz's attention. It didn't do anything to make the noise fade, if anything, the moans and groans seemed to get louder. Much, much louder.

"Why won't you guys shut up?!?" She asks to no one in particular.

Sliding into the bathroom, she puts her pillow in it and tries to go back to sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Alex?" She called. "Someone?"

Isabel was alone as she can see in a strange place. It would what most people would describe heaven as. Puffy, white clouds. A huge gold gate in the distance. But no angels. No harps. No one.

"Milady." A hand reached out for a dance.

"Alex." she sighs. "But of course." After a second she starts talking, "There's no music."

"Oh, but there is pretty lady. In here." He points to his chest, "And here." his head.

After a while of silence while swaying to the non-existent music she speaks again. "Where are we Alex? Is this where you are?"

"Here? Well, this is heaven, I guess." He reaches behind and scratches behind his ear. "I wouldn't really know, but considering you think I'm dead I thought it was appropriate."

"Think you're dead? But aren't you? We saw your dead body. Alex, where are you?" Isabel said in a confused state of mind. Of course Alex was dead!

"Isabel, I don't know where I am. I don't know if I'm alive. I don't know anything right now." Alex answers truthfully, running his hand through his hair.

A snore.

Isabel bolts out of her dream with Kyle beside her, snoring. Why did she ever agree to this? She's never going to get back to sleep so she leaves a note to Kyle that she went to Michael and Maria's room to take a shower.

----------------------------------------------------

::Knock, knock::

God dammit! Maria thinks. Whatever happened to beauty sleep? Or any sleep at all?

::Knock, knock::

Well, I'm not getting it.

::KNOCK, KNOCK::

No way am I getting it.

::KNOCK, KNOCK, PUNCH?::

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Calm down." Michael finally got out of bed and was talking groggily.

Opening the door he saw a flash of light, "Ah! My eyes."

"Good morning to you too." Isabel greets sarcastically.

"You look like shit." Michael says bluntly.

"Gee Michael, thanks. You look dandy as well." She walks into the room, pushing Michael aside in the process.

"Where's Maria?"

"How should I know? One minute she's there, the next she's not."

"Whatever. You guys are major relationship issues that you need to sort out soon."

"We're working on it."

"She's in the bath!"

"What?" Michael says, clearly not understanding what she was talking about.

Isabel walks out of the bathroom angrily, "Maria's snoring in the tub. I'm going to Max and Liz's room."

Michael grabs her forearm, "I wouldn't if I were you."

"And why not?" Isabel is clearly anger.

"Well, if you wanted to walk in on your brother having sex go ahead but I wouldn't."

"Ew! Bad imagery!" Isabel covers her ears with her hands. "I'd rather wake Maria up at.. *gasp* Nine o'clock in the morning."

Isabel stomps into the bathroom. "Maria." she pokes her arm. "Wake up." She shakes her. "I need to take a shower!"

BANG She stops and turns around, "What was that?"

"Max and Liz." Michael replies bluntly, "You should know. We're not the only ones that I had to sleep next door to those horn dogs."

"Yea, well, I've learned how to block my memory." She flashes a sweet smile before turning back to the task at hand, waking Maria Deluca up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What the hell?" Kyle mutters as he wakes from a strange dream. He opens his eyes and there was a piece of paper lying on his face. She probably left already. Damn, what time was it?

He blew the paper off and stayed half asleep for another ten minutes.

He sighed frustratedly and slowly got up, knowing he had to check in soon. He trudged out and into designated room, we walked closer to Max's room and his hand froze mid-air when he heard a female's voice moan a 'Oh god... Max.' and hurrily walked the few steps to Michael and Maria's room. He knocked hastily and before Maria had the chance to yell at him for interrupting her sleep, again he slipped in and covered his ears.



TBC?

Was that ultimately stupid? I'm sorry! I just... knew what I wanted to write and not at the same time. So, feed me! Good, bad, ugly. I'm fine with it all. I have a plot in my head and some things written down, so hopefully this fic will get rolling.

Part Four

No one really got used to the road. They all just wanted to be home, even Michael. As unattached as he seemed, Roswell, New Mexico was his home; Maria was his home.

Max was driving now and lunch was drawing new, Michael was in the passenger seat and the rest were sitting in the back. Liz's right hand was resting protectively on her abdomen. Isabel was staring blankly out the window, most likely thinking about the life she left behind, Alex, and the dream. Maria was absorbed in a book. And Kyle? Kyle was intently staring at Isabel, trying to figure her out, wanting to know why she seemed so distant today, at least more so than before. He thought they were getting somewhere and ::BAM:: out of nowhere, she puts up her ice princess tone.

"Are you guys hungry yet?" Max asked looking back toward the group, shaking everyone of their stupor.

Liz was starved, she hardly ate any breakfast and the baby was getting anxious. She waited for the other's response before agreeing to stop.

Max could feel Liz again, and he knew she was hungry, and worried. He was beyond ecstatic to be able to have her in his mind again, but desperately needing to know why she was worried. "Where do you guys want to go?" He addressed the group, deciding he better talk to Liz instead of himself about that particular problem.

The FBI kept the information of their existence under wrapped. The gang always wanted to know why they didn't ask for the public's help, saying they killed someone, or are robbing banks all across America, maybe even that they were terrorists, because that's what the FBI thought of them. Terrorists out to control the planet.

The public had no idea bout who they were, so they were able to travel around freely, always keeping a good eye out. Agents were everywhere and they knew it, so they played it safe most of the time, never staying any one place long enough for anyone to ask any questions. They could never go to or visit Roswell either, that was the most unsafe area they knew of. It was tough, but they had to stay alive somehow. Maybe one day they'll be able to come home again, start over.

Isabel finally spoke, irritated at Max's indecision. Max shrugged it off and stopped at a grocery store, Liz didn't want fast food and they didn't have that much money for a good restaurant.

Max got out quickly and opened the door for everyone in the back. He took Liz's hand, guiding her down and they started off.

Michael was already inside, leaving a fuming Maria in the car. Kyle quickly jumped off followed by Isabel and finally, Maria. Muttering something about doing a little work and not this time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Max walked behind Liz with his arms draped over her shoulders and his hands resting on her stomach. He kissed her temple gently, "What's on your mind?" he asked "I know something's wrong. You can tell me." he caressed her stomach and...

::Flash::
A fetus moving around...

::Flash::
The time Max and Liz made love in the desert under the glowing night sky.

::Flash::
A baby in Liz's arms and Max smiling down with love and adoration shining in his eyes.

He came out of the flashes panting.

"Max?" Liz asked, concern etched in her voice. "Max? What happened?"

He just stared wide-eyed at his wife. She was pregnant, he thought. I'm going to be a daddy! "You're pregnant," he finally whispered in shock.

Liz paled, he didn't want the baby? Tears formed in her eyes, making them bigger than they really are. He didn't want the baby.

After the initial shock, Max's mouth formed into the biggest widest grin imaginable, He was laughing and picked his crying wife up, spinning her light frame around the store causing the kind stares of bystanders. Liz was now giggling with excitement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After they all piled back into the car, Max and Liz were still glowing. None of the group caught the spectacle the pair made in the store earlier.

Maria sat next to Liz and looked over suspiciously, "Okay Liz, did you and Max just get a quickie in?"

Liz looked over at her best friend in shock, blushing. "No, Maria. We did not do such a thing." she said and started rubbing her stomach.

"Well," Maria started, "You're practically glowing and... OMG!" her eyes grew as big as saucers. Liz just smiled a secret smile while Maria started yelling and fainted.



TBC?


Sorry for the delay and sorry that it's short! I'm really trying over here!

Hey guys! Sorry for keeping you guys waiting, but I really don't want to continue. It could be hormones or something but I haven't been feeling like writing lately and I don't want people to think I will continue if I don't even know if I will. This story might continue, I have no clue, I just wanted to tell you guys so you aren't surprised if I don't update again.

I am deeply sorry if you liked this fic, if you want, I'll find someone to continue for me. *happy*, a million apologies again!
