Chapter 3

It had been 3 years since Liz's death and everyone was trying to move on. Max was still in Washington but ended up pushing the people away that mattered to him. Max ended up becoming a lawyer for a law firm and kept to himself. Michael and Maria had finally got engaged and Kyle and Isabel are engaged as well. Alex had just turned 8 years old. Maria was 3 months pregnant and Isabel was 4 months pregnant. It was a normal day and Isabel and Maria had decided to take a trip to a little boutique in Albuquerque. Michael was in charge of watching his daughter so him and Kyle took Alex out for the day. Isabel and Maria walked the wedding shops and were planning their weddings since they decided to have a double ceremony in about a month so they were shopping and getting everything ready. As they were shopping Maria bumped into someone and said sorry

Maria: sorry

Lady: its no problem

Maria and Isabel walked off and Maria could have sworn she resembled a lot like Liz.

Isabel: what

Maria: she reminded me of Liz is all

Isabel: yea I am sorry

Maria: that's alright why don't we look in here and see if we could find the perfect dress

Isabel agreed and they both went in the store and looked for wedding dresses. They both found ones that they liked. They paid for them and took them home. Maria ended up finding one for Alex to wear. The girls got their shopping done and headed home. Maria however couldn't get that lady out of her head though but she just brushed it off. Isabel and Maria made it home and saw that Kyle and Michael weren't home so they tried calling them and saw that they forgot their phones. Maria started to panic when Michael and Kyle walked into the house and relief came over her.

Isabel: you guys scared us don't ever leave your phones at home

Alex: hi mommy

Maria: hi baby

Alex put her hand on her mothers tummy and said hi baby brother

Maria looked at her funny: how do you know it's a boy baby

Alex: I made a connection with him mommy

Maria looked at Michael and smiled.

3 months later

Isabel is 7 months pregnant with a little girl and Maria is 6 months pregnant with a little boy. Isabel and Maria had agreed to do a double wedding ceremony at the rose garden. Being so far along in their pregnancies they decided that they would wait for a honeymoon until the babies are born. Michael, Isabel, Kyle and Maria opened up a night club. Michael bar tends and Kyle bounces while Maria waitresses and Isabel manages the books but helps Maria out when she can. Maria still works at the Crashdown when Mr. Parker needs her. So Maria went to the Crashdown to pick up a shift. Maria had about another 20 minutes left of her shift and that's when she realized that she saw the girl she bumped into in Albuquerque. So Maria went and started a conversation with her.

Maria: hi can I help you

Lady: you work here

Maria: yes my shift doesn't end for another 20 minutes though

Lady: oh okay

Maria: I say you in Albuquerque the other day

Lady: yes you did. I know we haven't met but I could use some help

Maria: sure

Lady: I am hiding from my husband

Maria: okay hang tight and I'll be right back

Maria went and told Jeff that since it was slow if she could cut out 20 minutes early. He told her to take off and tend to her daughter and unborn child. When Maria came back out the girl was still there so she led her to her car and took her home. She knew Michael wouldn't be there so she led her inside and asked her if she wanted something to drink.

Lady: why are you nice

Maria: my best friend taught me to believe in people

Lady: see seems nice

Maria: yea she passed away 3 years ago and it hurts to say I miss her

Lady: oh I am so sorry

Maria: what's your name

Lady: Allison Mitchell

Maria: well nice you meet you I am Maria DeLuca

Allison: nice to meet you

Maria: what's happened?

Allison: my husband abuses me. I should have listened to my family when they told me he was no good. So I ran away from home a year ago

Maria: you have been hiding from him this whole time

Allsion: yes

Maria: okay why don't I take you to a friend's house?

Allison: I can't he knows that my family lives in Roswell

Maria looked at her and thought no this cant be Liz

Maria: Liz

Liz: yes its me

Maria: but they found your dental records in the car

Liz: I heard he planted it to get away from people that was after him I didn't know until he told me it was too late to contact my family

Maria: its been three years

Liz: I know it hurts me. But when I saw you with Isabel I knew you guys were fine he told me that you guys were all dead because the people that was after him killed you guys

Maria: no honey we are fine. Lets do this you are still Allison Mitchell we are friends from along time ago okay but I am going to get you away from here and no one will know that you are Liz Parker okay

Liz: are you sure

Maria: absolute sure

Liz: thanks Maria. Oh how are my parents

Maria: they are okay with me being around it makes them feel better

Liz: thanks for looking after them for me

Maria: no problem we are taking a trip to Washington this week. I'll talk to everyone when they get home okay

Liz: okay.

Maria had told everyone that her friend was in trouble and only told Isabel that her friend was Liz. So Isabel promised not to say anything so Isabel agreed to get her out of town. So Isabel and Maria took a drive to Washington and went to see Max. When Isabel knocked on his door Max opened it and saw three people at his door step.

Max: Iz

Isabel: can we come in

Max: sure

Maria: hi Max staying out of trouble

Max grinned: funny. Whats up

Maria: this is Allison Mitchell and she needs help Max

Max: okay what can I do

Maria: let her stay with you

Isabel: please Max

Max: I don't know her and I don't think it is a good idea

Maria: she knows all about your past Max

Max: damn it guys

Isabel: Max hear us out Liz Parker didn't die 3 years ago

Max: stop it Isabel we were at her funeral

Liz: its true I am Liz Parker

Max: stop it

Liz went to him and kissed him. Max ended up getting the flashes from her and he broke the connection

Max: how

Liz: long story

Maria: Max Liz Parker died 3 years ago okay. You met Allison Mitchell okay and you guys are happy. No one can know she is Liz okay it's for the best please

Max: okay

Isabel and Maria left Liz with Max and headed home. Not knowing what was happening in Roswell at the time.
