Summary: Michael, Tess, Max, and Isabel come back to earth after being away for two years.
*****Part 5*****
Maria looked around Michael's apartment. The whole place was completely trashed. The apartment had no belongings in it since Michael had just come back to earth. The furniture that came with the apartment however was all turned over. There were holes in the walls that appeared to be made from someone slamming their fist threw the walls. It was then her eyes fell upon Michael who was sitting in the corner holding his bloody fist in his hands.
"Michael."
Maria walked up to Michael and knelt down before him. She started to touch him but knowing by his expression it was the wrong thing to do.
"Leave Maria."
"No, I won't Michael. You have to understand."
"I won't ever understand how you could sleep with Alex after we did. I had to leave earth. I didn't want to but I had to fight our enemies. The whole time I was gone I only thought of getting back to you Maria. You're the only person I ever allowed myself to get close to Maria and the whole time I was gone you were screwing Alex and having his kid."
Tears were falling down Maria's face. How could Michael think so little of her?
"Michael, Alex and I are just friends. That's all we've ever been. Dakota isn't Alex's."
Michael finally turned his face to look at Maria's.
"Maria if Dakota's not mine and he's not Alex's who is the father?"
"I don't know Michael!" Tears started spilling from her eyes again.
Michael was more confused than ever.
"Maria, how could you not know?"
"You have to understand Michael after you left I felt like my life was over. I never got over my dad leaving me but as painful as that was losing you was even worse. I felt like I was dying inside and I couldn't take it. I had never felt that bad before. So I used a fake ID and went to a bar. I decided to get drunk. I thought it would make me forget but it didn't. It only made things worse. I started coming on to this guy. After a while I realized what I was doing and I decided to go home. He offered to drive me home because he knew I was in no condition to drive. He started driving me home and then he pulled into a dark alley. Michael it was my fault I got in the car with him. I came on to him."
"Maria."
Maria was practically sobbing but she knew she had to continue. "A little while later I started getting sick and it dawned on me that I might be pregnant. Liz bought me a home pregnancy test and it confirmed my worst fear. I hoped that it was yours but we had used protection. Alex and Liz were the only ones I told. I never even went to the doctor. I was too ashamed. I didn't even tell mom about what happened that night. When she found out I was pregnant she told me it was time I grew up and found a place of my own to raise the baby. That's when Alex and me moved into together so he could take care of me and help me pay the rent. I ended up having the baby at the apartment. When Dakota turned one I finally found the courage to tell mom."
"Oh god Maria. It's my fault for leaving. I screwed up again."
"No, Michael it was all my fault. I came on to him and I got in the car with him."
"Come here." Michael healed the cuts on his hand and held Maria tightly in his arms. "It's not your fault Maria. Look at me. We have to find who did this to you."
"No. What if he finds out about Dakota and tries to take him or hurt me again? Besides I don't know who he was."
"We can't let him get away with it!"
"I don't know Michael. I can barely remember what he looks like."
"Let me see."
"What?"
"Let me see what happened and then I can find out who he is."
"No Michael I don't want you to see me like that!"
"Maria, it's alright. Do you trust me?"
"Of course Michael. But you'll hate me if you see what I did and what happened."
"Maria it wasn't your fault. Now please let me see. Give me your hands."
