One Year Later
**Max**
A three-year-old Daniel and I walked hand and hand into West Kennedy High. We had a mission. Part one of that mission was not to be seen by Liz. The problem with that is that she can sense when I'm near. That effect was only doubled since I had Daniel as well.
Part two get her 3rd period class to cooperate with me. I think that will be the most difficult part because it's a bunch of freshmen. No one likes freshmen, and there's a good reason for it.
Part three set up. This should be the easiest part.
**Liz**
I walked into the office when they called me up. It seemed like the secretary was blabbing about nothing. I really should get back to class because 3rd period really is awful. Just a few more days and the school year's over and I'll never have to have them in my class ever again.
I glance up when I felt Max. He was closer than usual and I wondered what he was doing at school.
"Max hasn't been here at all has he?" I ask.
She looks at me with a stunned expression. "Why would he be here?"
"That's what I'm wondering. I'm going back to class please call me if he is here, I don't need him to interrupt my class." I say and walk out. Why am I getting this weird feeling? Is that Daniel I sense? What the heck are they doing here, if they are here.
On the way to the classroom my mind drifted to the night before. Max had taken me out to dinner for our anniversary. We had to drive over to the next town because this town doesn't have any really nice restaurants.
I wonder if we should move back to Roswell. There's nothing keeping us from going back. I miss it, I haven't been there in six years. I'll talk to Max. Speaking of Max why do I sense his presence as I near my classroom. When I get there no one's there. Crap, crap, crap. My class has disappeared. I'm so going to get into trouble. Wait there's one student maybe they had to evacuate. No then she wouldn't be here.
"Hi, Ms. Parker." I changed my name back when I got the final divorce.
"Hello, Kelly would you like to tell me where your classmates went?"
"Library. Here." She handed me a note. "You can't open it till later." She said and went back to whatever she was working on. If I would have looked closer I would have seen the smile on her face.
When I grabbed the note I could sense Max's touch. What is this man doing? I'm going to miss out on a whole class. Oh well.
I went to the library. "Hi, Ms. Parker."
"Hello, Nathan, where is everybody?" I ask looking around not spying any other students.
"Amphitheater. Here." He also handed me a note. "Don't open till later." He said and ran out of the library.
I walked to the amphitheatre, where I got another note, then on to the gym, music room, media center, choir room, which I have to say is on the other side of campus from the media center, conveniently located next to the music room, the front office and finally back to my classroom. I was ready to kill Max.
"Hi, Mommy!" Daniel said happily. He looked up from where Max was showing him something in a microscope.
"Hi, darling, what are you doing here?" I looked at Max.
"Open, the enbelopes." He said happily coming to sit on my lap.
I looked in my hand to find eight envelopes.
First one: Elizabeth Parker
Second: Will
Third: You
Fourth: Marry
Fifth: Me Tears were filling up my eyes I could hardly see but there was still three more cards,
Sixth: I
Seventh: love
Eighth: You
"I love you too, Max and yes I will marry you even though I already said I would." I looked at him.
"I know, but you deserve a formal proposal." He kissed my nose.
"Thank you, why did you wait so long?" It had been over a year since I had the divorce.
"I once had a conversation with you and I asked how long you would have to wait before you would marry someone."
"And I said one year.
"Yep, I figured we knew each other that long before, but those don't count. So I asked you today because yesterday was one year so I waited one year and one day." He smiled a little half grin.
I couldn't resist and I kissed him again. This time I heard cheering. I turned around and my whole 3rd period class was standing there. I blushed furiously.
I looked around the classroom for Daniel. He was smiling in the arms of one of the girls. At three, he was already flirting.
**Max**
I guess we're going to get married. I can just imagine Maria shrieking now. I have to remind myself to wear earplugs when we tell her.
I wonder if we can move back to Roswell now.
There's nothing keeping us here, we can just go there and start over.
The End.
