Summary: CC. My take on how the third season should have played out.

Ch. 1 – Leaving or not

He had to see her one more time. He knew that he shouldn't, but he needed to. So after he and Isabel finished making the tape for their parents. He told Isabel that he would be back in time, he just needed to do something first before they left. So now he was climbing the ladder up to her balcony that was outside of her room. He didn't even know what he was going to say to her when he saw her, but he just needed to see her. He looked into the window and saw that she was asleep in bed. He slowly opened the window and climbed in. He sat next to her watching her sleep, on her side. He smiled. He could do this forever. He lightly touched her shoulder. Liz awoke slightly, "Max."

"Shhh," putting his fingers to her lips and the then leaned down and kissed her. What started as just a small kiss turned into a deep passionate kiss. The next thing that he realized was that he was lying down next to Liz with his hand under her top. He couldn't stop kissing and touching her.

Liz was having a hard time believing the he was here with her. But she didn't care she needed him; she has needed him for a long time. And the kiss that they had shared together earlier left her wanting more, wanting to be with him. And now he was here in her room, holding and kissing her and she didn't want it to end. She needed him. She was lifting up his shirt. He pulled away slightly and asked, "Liz, are you sure." All she did was nod. He let her take off his shirt and then he removed her top. And went back to want they were doing before.

While coming down from the heightened of love making, "Marry me?" Liz then gave him a questioning look, "Max did you just" Max then explained why, "I know that we are young and that I'm going to be going to Antar, but I'm coming back Liz. I'm coming back for you. When I do I want us to get married." Liz nodded her head, "Yes." Smiled, "Yes, I'll marry you" Max smiled down at Liz, "Really?" Liz just laughed and replied, "Yes really." They made love for the second time that night.

Afterwards she was asleep, with her head on his chest. Max just laid there holding her. He didn't want to go, but he knew that he had to. Part of him hated the fact that he had a son. He knew that he shouldn't think that way. If it wasn't for his son he wouldn't need to leave Roswell, his home and most especially Liz. He didn't know how he was going to leave her especially after what they just did. Max slowly pulled away from Liz being careful to not wake her. He put a note that he written her in front of her alarm clock. He put back on his clothes and before retreating through the window he looked back at the sleepy form of the love of his life and softly said, "I promise."

It didn't take long for Max to return home and pick up Isabel. When she got into the car she asked, "So where do you go?"

"I just needed to say goodbye to … someone." The last word that he said, he said it softly that Isabel could barely hear what he said.

"Max, are you ok?" She was worried about him. He didn't look like his usual self and it worried her. She hoped that it had to do with leaving all that they had known and all the people that that they care about behind. She herself didn't want to leave. But no matter where her brother goes, she would go. And if that meant going to their home planet, that they don't even remember, just because her nephew can't survive on Earth, so be it.

"I'm fine Is." He said as they pulled up to Michael's.

She didn't know why, but she didn't believe him. Maybe it was the tune of his voice or it just could be the connection that they share. She knew that he didn't want to leave. And the only reason that he was, that they all were doing this is to keep her nephew safe. "Okay Max." She wasn't going to push anything.

Michael got into the Jeep® and said, "Let's go."

Isabel turned to look at Michael and he looked just as bad as Max does. She didn't know what she was going to do. She was going to have to spend gods only how long with these two. She could tell that neither one of them wanted to leave. Michael, the one person that has wanted to find out more about where they came from, has this great opportunity and now he doesn't want to go. And then, has they pulled into the Valenti's driveway, there was Tess, she had to admit yes she liked Tess in the beginning, but now what she has done to her brother. He doesn't act like himself anymore. Isabel though as she watched Max go inside and get Tess. He's different and yes she'll admit this only to herself and no one else, that even though she didn't like how he would go on and on and on about Liz, she missed the way he acted when he was with Liz. She thought that she saw a small glimpse of it when he came back home to pick her up, but by the time she had gotten settled in the Jeep® that glimpse that she saw was gone. Truth be told she didn't want her brother to be with Tess. She has known since that time when he was in New York, when she had helped Liz connect with her brother to warn him. During the time that they were connected she felt have much they really loved and cared for each other and how much they belong together. She didn't know until that moment how strong the connection was between Liz and her brother. And now here they were going to their home planet and Max is with Tess. She was beginning to not like Tess.

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

Max helped Tess into the back of the Jeep®. They continued on in the Jeep® until they got about a half a mile from the pod and set it on fire, then pushed it off a cliff. They continued the rest of the rest of the way on foot.

(Author's Note: Everything happened next happened on the show and I didn't write it. Liz goes to Maria's house and Tess's mind warp on the Ms. Deluca fades. Liz and Maria then go to Valenti's house and Kyle tells Liz and Maria about how he helped Tess move Alex's body. They go to the Pod Chamber and tell Max, Michael, and Isabel what happened. Max and Tess have an argument; everyone is out of the Pod Chamber, except Tess. Tess Leaves. I think the summed everything up. I didn't want to type it all out because we have most likely seen it probably about a million times and we all know what happened and I didn't write it. I'm just going to change what happens after the scene, after that episode ended.)

"What happens now, Max?"

"I have to find my son"

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

After Max had said that he felt something weird coming from Liz. He turns to look at her and just then she collapses into his arms. "Liz"
