Maria sat there and looked at the wall. 'I can't believe this happened. How could I not notice this before?' Maria asked herself. She got so caught up in the wedding that she didn't notice the two weeks go by.

Maria was so into her own thoughts that she didn't notice Michael walk into the bedroom and sit next to her on the bed.

"Hey, babe. What are you doing?" Michael asked Maria. Maria didn't answer him, she just seemed to not notice he was there. "Hello? Maria?" Michael said trying to get her attention. Maria finally realized Michael was talking to her.

"Huh? Oh I'm sorry. Did you say something?" Maria asked him. Michael just chuckled at Maria.

"What were you thinking about?" Michael asked her.

"Oh, nothing important." Maria said while getting up. "I'm just going to take a shower." Maria said heading towards the door.

"Wait! Where's my morning kiss?" Michael asked with a smirk on his face. Maria smiled at Michael and gave him a kiss on the lips. Maria tried to turn around but Michael stopped her by holding her arm. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Maria told him. Michael gave Maria the look. Maria sighed. "I'm just not feeling that good, that's all." Michael picked up Maria and placed her gently on the bed. "What are you doing?"

"Well, if you're not feeling good you should stay in bed." Michael told her while putting the covers over her. "I'll be back, I'm gunna make you some soup."

"Michael, it's not even bad. I just want to take a shower and go to the store to pick some things up." Maria told him. Michael looked at Maria and sighed.

"Okay fine. But could you pick something up to make you feel better?" Michael asked while Maria got out of the bed.

"Don't worry, Michael. I'll pick up [i]something[/i]." Maria told him as she walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

After Maria left Michael picked up the phone and called Max's hotel room.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Max. It's Michael."

"Hey, Michael. What's up?"

"I need to ask you a favor?"

"Ya, what is it?"

"I'm gunna ask Maria to marry me, and I need help picking out the engagement ring. So could you help me?"

"Sure, it's about time. What time should I be there?"

"In about an hour."

"Okay, I'll be there."

"Thanks, Max. Bye."

"No problem. Bye."

An hour later Maria walked in the apartment with two bags of groceries. Michael got up to help her with the bags.

"No, it's okay. I got them." Maria told him as she walked to the kitchen and placed the bags on the counter. Michael shrugged his shoulders and followed her to the kitchen. Michael started to put things away, while Michael wasn't looking Maria took the pregnancy test out of the bag and put it in the bathroom. Maria returned to the kitchen and helped Michael finish putting away the groceries.

"Oh, Me and Max are gunna go out later. Is that okay?" Michael asked her.

"Ya, sure. What are you guys going to do?" Maria asked him while putting the milk in the frig.

"Probably just hang out, before him and Liz have to go back home. Isabel and Alex left early this morning. Max said Liz would be by later." Michael told her. Michael heard someone knock at the door. "That's probably Max right now." Michael said opening the door and letting Max in.

"Hey Michael. Are you ready to go?" Max asked. Michael nodded his head and gave Maria a kiss on the cheek. "Hey Maria. Liz said she'll be over in a little bit." Maria nodded her head.

"Bye." Maria said as Max and Michael left the apartment. Maria rushed to the bathroom and took out the pregnancy test. Maria read the directions. 'Okay, this is simple. I just pee on this stick wait 5 minutes, and then I know if I'll be a Mom or not.' Maria thought to herself.

Three minutes later Maria was in the living-room waiting for the results of the test. 'Okay, only 2 more minutes left.' Maria said to herself as she sat down on the couch. Maria started to tap her fingers on her leg as she waited for the time to be up.

Maria glanced at the clock,'One more minute. One more minute.' Maria repeated to herself. Maria started to hum her favorite song to herself. Maria glanced at the clock again. 'Yes, it's time.' Maria rushed to the bathroom and picked up the pregnancy test. She looked up at the results........
