Author's Note: In order to follow my story, you're gonna need to know a few things such as: there is no Tess (cause she's just plain evil!), the pod squad knew Liz back on their planet where she was their queen and Max's betrothed, Andrew (you'll find out who he is in a second) was Liz's bodyguard and was in love with her on their planet but she never knew it, he found the gang recently and fits in well with Maria, Liz, and Alex, he is still desperately in love with Liz but she has no idea, after hearing that Khivar was the one to kill Liz in their former life, Max leaves Liz and the gang back on earth and heads to Antar to kill Khivar and lead the planet, however he left without telling anyone and before Liz could tell him she was pregnant.

I know this is a lot to digest before starting the story but I will try to explain it as I go along! Please try and keep up and above all read and review! I really need to know what you guys think! Thanks!

All Choices Have There Consequences

He woke up in a cold sweat once again. His pillow was wet from the tears. He had dreamt about her again. She was just as beautiful as he remembered. She looked so innocent and understanding, his dream girl. God, how he missed her! Not a day had gone by in the years since he had left her in his bed without a word that he had not regretted it. Leaving her like that, what the hell was he thinking. Oh yeah, he thought he was protecting her!

It had been days since he felt the pain, that extreme pain that nearly tore his abdomen to pieces. He didn't understand what it was at the time. Maybe he had just ate something weird or maybe he was worrying so much he had developed an ulcer. Worrying about her took up most of his thoughts each day. While he sat in meetings with high ranking officials his mind drifted to her, her flowing brown hair, intense brown eyes, and that smile she held only for him. His need for her was growing stronger each day while his control over the matter was diminishing quickly. He had to go back, he needed to go back.

He sat up and tried to brush the thought aside. He had meetings he was going to be in all day. Wasting time on worrying about Liz was not an option today. Today, he was going to receive a progress report on how the building projects were going. He couldn't zone out again today. He just had to stay focused.

He looked at himself in the mirror and saw the bags under his eyes. He looked older and tired. He felt like he'd been put through an emotional wringer.

"Common Max, you gotta focus today! She would want you to focus and not worry about her" he told himself. Yeah right, how the hell would he know what she wanted. He left her without even saying good-bye! She probably hated him.

He could feel the fear growing inside him again. Max had many fears when it came to Liz. Was she alright? Was she happy? But most importantly, the fear that nagged at him the most was the thought of Liz finding someone else. He didn't think he could live if he found her in the arms of another. Sure he knew the only way he could protect her was to leave her. That was why he left in the first place. Now, however, he was having second thoughts on this. There had to be another way to protect her and keep her in his life.

And so Max made the decision, to go back to Roswell and the girl he loves and pray to God above that she would take him back!

Back in Roswell…

It had been two years since she last saw him. He left her there, without even saying good-bye and without a chance to tell him the truth. She was without the love of her life, her pillar of strength, alone and pregnant with an alien child whose father knew nothing of her existence. And so Liz did the best she could. She suffered through a fairly brutal pregnancy with lots of morning sickness, dizzy spells, and hours in labor. It all paid off in the end though because she had a beautiful little girl with Max's eyes and ears and her beautiful hair and smile. If only he could see his little girl.

And it turned out she was not as alone as she thought. All of her friends chipped in to help her out through the pregnancy. Maria refused to leave her side at any time. Isabel and Alex were never far away while Michael could be count on to catch her before she hit the ground when one of her dizzy spells occurred. And then there was Andrew. He was right there with Maria. He NEVER left Liz's side, not even in the delivery room. He was by her side throughout the entire nine months of the pregnancy, keeping her company, easing her pain, and most importantly taking her mind off Max.

While he understood what Max did, he resented him greatly for hurting the only woman Andrew ever loved. How could he hurt Liz like that? How could he leave this delicate, petite angel to fend for herself and never even say good-bye? Andrew didn't understand Max's reasoning. So he stepped into Max's place as the over-protective man in Liz's life. After little Claudia was born, he treated her as if she were his own daughter. He took her to the park, blew his paycheck on toys and clothes for her, and always tucked her in at night. He looked after her and Liz as if they were his little family. And so, that is what they potentially became, a family.

It took about a year for Andrew to work up the courage to ask Liz out. During that time, if he wasn't going to work or hanging out with Maria, he was with Liz and Claudia. Maria being Maria, noticed this right away. She always knew how Andrew felt about Liz. She also knew how much Liz loved Max. It took nine months and a beautiful little girl to help Liz get over the intense hurt and anger she felt towards Max. Since it didn't look like Max was ever coming back, she knew the only person worthy of Liz was Andrew, the sweet and gentle man who was head over heels in love with Liz and Claudia. So Maria did everything in her power to help Andrew and Liz get together. After a straight year of convincing Andrew he was perfect for Liz, he finally got the nerve to ask her out and was just about struck dead to hear her say yes.

It took them a long time to evolve their friendship into a relationship. While Liz eventually grew to love Andrew as more than a friend, her heart still ached for the other half of her soul. She loved Andrew and would always be thankful for what he had done for her and Claudia, but could she just go on and forget Max. She knew deep down she would love him forever but he made the choice to leave her. She had to live with the consequences. And so she let herself love Andrew completely.

After a year of dating (and a past life full of trust and loyalty), Andrew popped the question. Liz didn't know what to say. Andrew had said how much he loved Claudia like his own daughter and how he had always loved Liz through all of his lives. He promised to spend the rest of his life trying to make her happy. She was touched by his words but she wondered why when she looked at him, Max's face appeared. She felt a tug in her heart. It was the moment of truth: would she let go of Max or break Andrew's heart? In those few moments before she gave her answer, a million thoughts sped through her mind. She thought about how she would probably never see Max again. She thought about Claudia growing up without a father. She thought about how much she loved Andrew. And she thought about how much she needed someone in her life to share the burden with, a pillar of strength. So she told Andrew the absolute truth, the only one she ever really knew.

"Andrew, I can't do it all alone. I need help. I need you. So, yes," she replied.

And so that brings us to today, a few days before Andrew and Liz's wedding. They have taken Claudia to the park to get away from the stress and toils of planning a wedding. Unfortunately, they had handed the wedding plans over to Isabel who had officially been christened the "Wedding Nazi" by Michael. Andrew had begged Isabel to let him have Claudia and Liz for a few hours today and she, while not happy about it, said yes only after her niece begged her.

So there they were, Claudia on the swing screaming to go higher, Andrew pushing her and smiling broadly, and Liz sitting on the swing next to her daughter laughing. That is what he first saw as he approached. He was still quite a distance away, hidden somewhat behind a tree. He would have thought how ironic this was and remembered his session with Topolsky if he wasn't so taken with the display he saw a mere 100 feet in front of him.

"God, was she really that beautiful," he thought. "She's more beautiful than I remember" he thought. And there was Andrew, always near her. Anger flashed through Max's eyes while a sharp pain tore his heart apart. He looked at what Andrew was doing, pushing a small little girl. He knew immediately that she was Liz's. How could he not? She had her beautiful long brown hair that floated every time she swung through the air. And that smile, was Liz without any question. Then his breath caught as the child stared directly at him. Her eyes, and those ears, they were nothing like Andrew. But then who? And then it hit him as the little girl jumped off the swing and preceded towards him.

Liz and Andrew were quick to follow her but stopped abruptly when he stepped out from behind the tree. Everyone stood still except for little Claudia. She slowly waddled over to Max and stood in front of him. She then raised her arms above her head, looked up into his eyes, and said the word that shook everyone to the core, "Dada".
