Okay, well this is my take on what should hold happened after Roswell ended. Enjoy and please review!
Hi, my name is Liz. Six months ago I ran away from my life with my boyfriend Max, Isobel, Michael, and Maria. It's been tough being on the run but everything is for the best. It has also been three months since my wedding. I am no longer Liz Parker I am Liz Evens, Wife, used to be step mother, and on the run. Ever since we left Roswell the FBI has been on our trail. Nipping at our heals trying to find us. We can't stay still for too long or we could get caught. But to months ago they stopped. "Liz, let's go!" Max yells and interrupts my journal writing. "Everyone is waiting." I walk out into the hall of the run down motel.
I'm sure your confused. A lot has happened since I last wrote. Kyle was killed, there was nothing we could do for him. Everyone tried to save him, even Michael but nothing worked. He was already dead. We would have stayed but the FBI had shot him. Out side of the wedding chapel. Everyone has been devastated. "Have you heard from Tess?" I asked him sounding a bit jealous and self centered.
"Liz, do we have to do this now?" He asked me. "I told you Tess and Zan left, they are back on whatever plant we came from. I haven't heard anything since they left." He said as he grabbed my small suitcase off the bed.
"I'm just asking, he is your son too. Isn't there someway she can contact you." I asked him as we walked down the stairs to our personal car. Everyone else had already left in Michaels Jeep. "She can't just leave you here by yourself. You just wondering about Zan, and don't tell me you don't wonder because I know you think about him all the time." I argued.
"Of course I wonder Liz. But there is nothing I can do, she gave me a choice and I chose you. Tess will find a way to contact me when she wants to, besides that he died Liz. And don't act like this conversation is about me. It is about you Liz. Ever since Tess got pregnant you have been green with jealousy. But that baby can't live here and you can't live there." Max yelled. At first I was taken by surprise and stunned. Max doesn't usually yell, especially at me.
"We have been married for three months and together longer than that. It's unfair how we have been dating since high school and are married with no children, when you got Tess pregnant on a one night stand!" I yelled back. "Just something to think about. The baby will be half human too. Maybe it can live here. Zan was fully one of you." I pointed out.
"But what if its like me. I can't leave without you Liz, and if we have a child I might have to leave without you. I can't take that gamble, you are worth more to me then reproduction." Max said then kissed me on the top of the head before starting the car and leaving the motel. "Now, we are meeting Michael and the others at the boarder. We are going to Canada now, trying to get out of their radar." Max told me. He grabs my hand and kisses the top. "Hey, it's going to be alright Liz, I won't let anything happen to you." He assures me.
"I think that's Michael's jeep." I pointed ahead were a green jeep parked in the middle of a field. "Yes, because there's Isobel." Isobel was standing in the corner of the road flagging us down. "Isobel what happened?" I asked her.
"Max, it's Tess." Max shoved the car and park and took off running towards Michaels jeep. I reach over and shut the car off then walk over with Isobel. "We were driving and Maria saw her walking through the empty field. She doesn't look good Liz." Isobel told me. When we got over to the jeep Tess was sitting in the front seat with a blanket wrapped around her.
"Tess, what happened?" Max questioned her. By the look in her eyes something bad had happened.
"I don't know Max." Tess said. When she spoke her voice was all raspy and dry. Her eyes were puffy and red like she had been crying, or on drugs. "I haven been able to sleep since he died last year. No one understands back home!" She cried.
"Not a day goes by that I don't think about him, and what they did to him. And what I did to you. He was my son and he was taken from me." Max said trying to sympathizes
"He was my son too! I had been raising him since the day he was born. You were barely in his life. And then you chose staying with a tramp her instead of your child!" Tess screams at him as she stands up and gets in his face.
"Liz is not a tramp. She is my wife," Max said, defending my honor.
"And I am just the whore that bore your offspring. Has your wife done that for you. Has she gone trough hours of pain to push a being out of her body. No! I did, and what where you doing when I was raising your child. Sleeping around with her." Tess continued to scream. She starts to hit Max in the chest and scream. Max embraces her with a hug and then I turn around and walk to the car. Maria chases me and puts her arm around me.
"Liz, it's going to be ok. Have you told him yet?" She asked me. "I think he would want to know."
"No, every time I try to talk to him about it he tells me how that is a bad idea." I told her. "Then she shows up and starts a fight and he runs off and hugs her. We have been married for three months and he has never embraced me like that. And she just got knocked up on a booze filled one night stand." I told her.
"Liz, he will want to know. You have to tell him. He is going to find out sooner or later." Maria explained to me.
"Liz," Max yelled running up behind us.
Maria embraced me then whispered "tell him," in my ear. I nodded my head, excepting the reality that is my life.
"Liz, I'm sorry about this. But it's my son, and when he died it was the worst thing imaginable. I'm sorry I can't give you what you want." Max apologized.
"It's not about that Max! You hugged her," I said starting to cry. "You never hug me like that." I added crying.
"I just hugged her. She needed it, she lost a son too." Max tried to explain it away. I sit on the hood of our car and ponder through my thoughts. "You aren't thinking about us having a baby again are you?" He asked me. "We have talked about this, you can't Liz. It could hurt you, or no be able to live here like Zan." Max exclaimed.
"It's too late Max! I am late," I yelled half way crying. "I have been trying to convince you because I am two weeks late." I explain. "I have tried to tell you but then we get into this big argument about how I could die or it could die." Max falls to his knees then down on his behind. He buried his head in his arms and touched his elbows to his knees. He didn't want to show it but he was crying. "We should be rejoicing, we are married, not stupid teenagers." I said. I slide off the hood of the car and wrapped my arms around Max. "Hey, right now lets focus on finding Zan. He is the most important. The FBI haven't been following us around for the past two months. We could find a more permanent home." I told him.
"He is dead Liz." Max told me. "He was taken and killed. Tess has been on earth for the past two months trying to find us. The government took him and killed him for testing last year. What if they take this one too?" He cries as he touches my stomach with his hand. Everyone drives over in Michael's jeep and jumps out beside us.
Me and Max stand up with the rest of the group. "If it is ok with you guys Tess would like to travel with us." Isobel added
"It's really hard for me to be alone right now." Tess added. "Everything minds me of him." She said wiping her dry tears.
"That's ok," I spoke up and agreed. Max pulled me closer to him and kissed my check. "We are going to Canada to escape from the government. They can't take us in." I added.
"No offense Liz but they don't have anything to do with you and Maria, you guys are humans." Tess reminded us. Like we needed the reminder.
"They would monitor her and the baby." Max said. "Liz is pregnant." Isobel hugged me tightly and Maria smiled. Tess stood there in shock while Michael didn't seem too keen.
"What the hell Max! Why would you be so stupid." Michael shouted. "You know how Zan reacted to the earths air, how do you think this one will react!" He shouted. Michael and Max went back and forth for a while yelling and arguing about what to do next. Michael thinks I should get an abortion and Max needs to be snipped. Max's argues that the baby is half me and might be able to live.
"Stop fighting, we don't even know that I'm pregnant I am just late. When we get to a hospital I can go there and do a pregnancy test." I said interrupting their fight. "Michael, just trying to fix my husband. He will get a vasectomy when you do. Don't act like you and Maria don't rock around the clock." I said using euphemisms. Michael dropped his clenched fist and got back in his jeep. "Where are you going?" I question him.
"The hospital get in." We all loaded up the vehicles and drove to the nearest hospital to satisfy Michael. "We need a pregnancy test, now." He ordered the nurse as he dragged me in by my arm.
"Michael, let go of Liz." Max demanded as he came in behind us. Michel finally released me from his grip and I stood by Max. "Are you ok?" I nodded my head in response.
"Name please," the nurse asked.
"Just get the test, names don't matter." Michael says trying to bend the rules. "Forget it ok, we can just buy one." Michael says then walks back out side. We all follow his paranoid rant through the parking lot to the gas station across. "Pregnancy test, the best you got." Michael demanded.
"Try first response," the lady behind the counter said then pointed over to the test section. Michael picked up five test and out them on the counter.
"I don't think I can generate that much pee." I pointed out to him. He didn't seem to care to much because then he put a stack of plastic cups on the counter. "Michael calm down. So what if I am pregnant. Max and I are married. Now it would be different if this were Maria but its not." Michael didn't respond he just handed me the pregnancy test and cup. I asked Maria to come in with me for moral support. There were four stalls in the bathroom s it wasn't weird. "You want to take one of these for me?" I asked Maria.
"Just pee in the cup Liz." Maria said as she handed me a cup. At that point Isobel walked in with a twelve once sunny d.
"Thanks Isobel, what are the guys up to?" I asked her.
"Really want to know?" She asked rhetorically. "Ok, well the fighting has almost stopped. Max was betting himself up and Michael was not being a jerk for once in his pathetic life." Isobel said then sit down on the counter by the sink. "Go pee so I can confirm this blessed miracle."
"I feel bad, because if I am pregnant I and its a boy, it will just remind him of Zan. And if I'm not then I will be sad." I said then finished my juice. When I came out of the stall and dipped the sticks we all just waited and waited. "I can't look, Isobel you look." I said turning away and putting my head into Maria's chest. Not a minute later Isobel joined in our group hug.
"I'm going to be an aunt to a legitimate child." I started to cry and hyperventilate a bit. I grabbed both of their hands and we walked out of the bathroom. Max wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm pregnant Max." I told him. "I am so sorry. I know with finding about about Zan this is going to be difficult." I let go of Max and walk over to Tess. I embrace her with a hug. "I haven't talked to you much since you got pregnant and had Zan. I am sorry for all the awful thing I thought and probably said about you. I know that is has to be hard for you." Tess wiped a tear form her eye.
"Liz, I will be fine. He has been gone for a while. I am sorry I called you a tramp. It's just I still feel connected to Max even though Zan I gone. I don't really think you are a tramp I was just blowing off steam. Congratulations, I'm really happy for you. Have a child is wonderful. I didn't realize there was something missing from my life until I had Zan." Tess told me.
I walked over to talk to Michael and glanced outside. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed someone standing beside our cars. "Max," I said then pointed at the burly men in black suits. We hurried up and walked out of the station.
"Can I help you?" Max asked. Before anyone could blink they all pulled guns on us, and we new the chase hadn't stopped. In fact, it had just begun.
