(AN: Liz POV)

Wow, what a sunny day outside. I love it when the sun hits my skin just right when I sunbathe. Isabel, Kyle, and their children are flying in from California tomorrow. It'll be good to see them. I just hope Isabel doesn't bring up the thing she brings up every time she comes here. She always asks Maria if Gabrielle is Michael's child.

Maria denies that Gabrielle is, but somehow I know Maria is lying. When you look at Gabrielle, you can just tell she is Michael's. I think Alex and Maria are happy together, who knows. I'm happy that Max and I have never let our love get lost. We have been together and faithful ever since we started going out.

I love being married to Max, he is a great husband. He loves me very much, and he tells me so constantly. Our children are wonderful as well. My life is great, and I don't think it could ever get better. Although, sometimes I know Max is very sad, because he doesn't get to see Michael.

They may not have gotten along all the time, but Max truly cared about Michael. In a few ways, I wish Michael would come back, but in other ways, I wish he wouldn't. If he would come back, Max would be happy, but Maria would be devastated. The truth about Gabrielle might come out. Maria has never admitted to me that Gabrielle is Michael's child, but I just know.

(AN: Max POV)

I watch Liz from inside the house. Her wonderful body is stretched out on a lawn chair, in a bikini. I don't know why Liz loves to sunbathe, it causes skin cancer. But, she always says she wears sunscreen, I just don't know. I sure love to watch her sunbathe.

She is my one and only true love. I can't believe how my life has turned out perfect. And perfect is the only word to describe it. The only thing wrong with my life is I constantly worry about Michael. What happened to him? Did he find someone he loved as much as Maria? Sometimes, I contemplate the idea of dream walking into his dreams, but I know that is wrong. Very wrong.

Maria's daughter, Gabrielle, is half-alien you know. She's quite a beautiful young lady, and you can tell she is Michael's daughter, except she's not as stony as he was. She has more of her mother's personality. Bubbly. Maria tells everyone that Gabrielle is Alex's daughter, but we all know better. We're not stupid, she looks nothing like Alex.

One day when Gabrielle was about eleven, I saw her use her powers, and that confirmed my theory that she was Michael's daughter. She moved a CD in her direction, without even getting up. I don't know what will happen in the rest of our lives, we'll all just have to wait and see.
