Part 1
"Can you believe it? I mean, they have got into fights before. But now they are separating." Liz told Tess. Tess just nodded her head.
"I know. But if you think about it; it's kinda like when they were just dating and they would brake up." Tess explained.
"Ya, I guess. It is Michael and Maria. I don't think there is another man and women who could put up those too." Liz said with a giggle. Tess laughed and nodded her head.
"I know." Tess said.
"But it still feels kinda weird. And what about Brendan? Who is he gunna stay with through the separation?" Liz asked Tess.
"Oh well, Maria is gunna have the house and Brendan. But Michael is gunna get him on the weekends." Tess explained.
"Where is Michael gunna stay?" Liz asked.
"He already rented an apartment. He's moving in tomorrow. So tonight is his last night on the couch at the house." Tess told her. Liz just nodded her head. She was glad that Max and her marriage was going so well. In the beginning it was kind of hard and they even thought about separating but they worked things out.
"Well, I would love to talk some more but I have to get home and start dinner for Kyle." Tess told Liz as she got her jacket and started heading out the door.
"Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye Tess." Liz told Tess.
"Bye."

Maria looked at her 11 month baby, Brendan. They weren't planning on having kids until at least after a year they were married. But Brendan must have slipped in on her and Michael's honeymoon. Maria sighed and remember how Michael purposed to her.
Flash
Maria walked into her and Michael's apartment and found that there were candle's and roses everywhere. She smiled to herself. Michael actually remember their anniversary.
"Michael? Where are you?" Maria yelled through their apartment. Michael appeared from the hall way with a smirk on his face and a rose in his hand.
"You like what I did with the apartment?" Michael asked her while walking up to her. Maria smiled and pulled Michael into a passionate kiss. "I'll take that as a yes." Michael said, Maria giggled and nodded her head.
"I can't believe you remembered our anniversary. That's just so sweet." Maria told him. Michael smiled and nodded his head. He gave Maria the rose and a kiss on the cheek. Maria noticed the rose was fake and looked up at Michael. All the other roses were real. Why was this one fake?
Maria didn't really care, though. She just loved Michael even more. Maria noticed that Michael was just staring at her as if he was waiting for something.
"What?" Maria asked him.
"Aren't you gunna open it?" Michael asked her. Maria gave Michael a confused look. She looked at the rose and noticed the top of it opened up.
"Oooooooooh." Maria said. Michael mumbled something about being blonde. Maria ignored it, but only because of what he did tonight. Maria opened the top of the rose and gasped. It was a ring, a beautiful ring.
Michael's hands took the ring from the rose case as he got down on one knee. Maria looked down at her lover and almost cried right there.
"Maria, I love you more than anything in the world. And I can't imagine me being with anyone else. And I can't to even think about you being with anyone but me." Maria smiled at that comment. "So would you do me the honor of being my wife? Maria, will you marry me?"
Maria was speechless, she nodded her head and wrapped her arms around Michael. She held Michael tight and then whispered into his ear.
"I would love to marry you."
End of Flash
Maria smiled again, god she still loved Michael so much. But lately they have been getting into so many fights. And it wasn't good for them or the baby that they both loved so much. Maria sighed and placed a kiss on her baby's head.
"Sleep tight." Maria said while walking out of Brendan's bedroom. She then bumped into a chest that she knew all to well.
"Sorry ba..... Sorry Maria." Michael told her. He was going to call her babe, like he always did. But he stopped himself; sometimes, okay a lot of times he had to remind himself of why they were taking a break.
He didn't like saying separating. When people said that him and Maria were separating he would get mad. Sure, that was what it was really called. But they were still married and they still had a kid together. And he knew that they both loved each other more than anything. Maria's voice pulled Michael out of his thoughts.
"There's some dinner in the frig. if your hungry." Maria told him. She knew that he was usually starving after work. But lately he's been eating out with his friends or getting something to eat before coming home.
That would get her mad, he would do that sometimes even before they separated. He would call after an hour he was supposed to be home and say he was going to be late. And that's if he would call at all. That was one of the reason's they fought so much lately.
"No thanks, I already ate. I'm just gunna say goodnight to Brendan and then hit the sack." Michael told her. Maria nodded her head.
"Well, try not to wake him up. He's sleeping." Maria told Michael as he started to walk into Brendan's bedroom. But he stopped and turned around.
"What do you mean, he's sleeping?" Michael asked her.
"Just that! He's. sleeping." Maria told Michael again.
"Damn it, Maria. I told you not to put him to bed until after I got home." Michael told her getting a little angry.
"Oh and when was that going to be? It's already 9 o'clock, Michael. And we all know that you've stayed out later than that." Maria yelled but trying to keep her voice down.
"Oh here we go again." Michael said.
"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" Maria asked not liking how Michael said that. Michael just shook his head.
"Every f*cking time we get into a fight, Maria. You always have to bring up how I get home late. You just can't seem to get off that can you?" Michael yelled.
"Sh!t Michael, it's because you do it every night. And we both know what would happen if I would stay out late and not tell you. Oh but wait, who would take care of the baby then? Not you!" Maria yelled back.
"Don't put Brendan in the middle Maria. And don't f*cking act like I'm not there for my son." Michael yelled. Just then Michael and Maria heard Brendan's cry. Both of them sighed in frustration.
"There, you happy now? Brendan's awake, now you can see your son when he's actually awake." Maria said as she walked away from Michael.
