Maria sighed,'Okay now I know.' Maria said to herself. She heard someone knock at the door. 'That much be Liz.' Maria thought to herself as she walked to the door and opened the door. Liz gave Maria a hug and walked inside the apartment.

"Hey girl. How's it going?" Liz asked.

"Fine. So what are we going to do today?" Maria asked Liz.

"Well, how about we go see that new movie, Vanilla Sky. I heard that is was really good." Liz told Maria. Maria nodded her head.

"Sounds good." Maria said.

"Great, let me go to the bathroom first." Liz told Maria.

"Oh, it's down the hall to your right." Maria directed her. Liz nodded her head and walked to the bathroom. Maria got her jacker and waited for Liz.

Liz was fixing her make-up when she dropped her lip gloss. she bent down to pick up her lip gloss when she saw what was in the trash can. Liz's eye's widen at the sight of the pregnancy test box. 'Maria might be pregnant.' Liz thought to herself.

Liz walked to the living-room to find Maria sitting down on the couch. Maria stood up and walked to Liz.

"So are you ready to go?" Maria asked her.

"Ya, but can I ask you something?" Liz asked her.

"Ya, sure." Maria said.

"Are you pregnant?"

"I think this is the ring, Max." Michael said holding up a simple but beautiful engagement ring. Max nodded his head in agreement. "What do you think?"

"I think Maria's going to love it." Max told him. Michael nodded his head.

"I'll take this one." Michael told the lady that worked there.

"Your girlfriend is one lucky girl. This ring is so beautiful." The lady told Michael while putting the ring in a box.

"No, I'm a lucky man." Michael said. The lady smiled at Michael and handed him the box. Michael paid for the ring and him and Max walked out.

"I can't believe you are going to finally ask Maria to marry you." Max said.

"Why is that so hard to believe?" Michael asked Max.

"Come on, Michael. It took you and Maria like 10 years to finally get together. I thought it would be another 10 years before you got married." Max told Michael with a chuckle. Michael shrugged his shoulders.

"I guess you were wrong." Michael said as him and Max walked back to the car and headed to Michael's and his soon to be wives apartment.

Max and Michael walked inside of the apartment to find Liz and Maria sitting down on the couch talking about the movie.

"Hey babe." Michael said walking up to Maria and picking her up and setting her down on his lap. "What did you guys do today?"

"We saw Vanilla Sky." Liz said walking over to her husband and kissing him on the lips. "It was so good."

"Well, me and Max should go. We have a early flight to catch tomorrow." Liz said as she walked up to Maria and hugged her. "Bye Maria. Call me." Maria nodded her head.

"Bye Michael." Max said while giving Michael a quick man hug and leaving with Liz. Michael looked at Maria and smiled.

"So are you hungry?" Michael asked her. Maria nodded her head. "Well, let me make you something to eat." Michael said while getting up and walking to the kitchen Maria smiled and followed Michael.
