Crashdown Cafe

Michael and Maria sat nervously in the booth at the crashdown waiting for Liz to meet them. When the door to the crashdown opened the both of them looked quickly to see if it was Liz. Sadly it turned out to be only an old couple.
"Are you nervous?" Maria asked glancing towards Michael.
"A little," Michael said.
"Maria!?!" a voice from behind Maria called out.
Maria looked over her shoulder to see Liz approaching from the entrance.
"Liz," Maria called as she rose to meet her friend.
"How have you been?" Liz asked as she hugged her best friend.
"Very good," Maria said as she and Liz sat down in the booth.
"And very pregnant," Liz said staring at Maria's abdomen.
"Oh yeah that," Maria chuckled.
"Maria, why didn't you tell me?" Liz asked.
"Well it has been a while since we spoke," Maria commented.
"I know," Liz said. "It's just this whole thing with school, Max, and then Sean. I've just been so busy."
"Don't worry about it chica," Maria said.
"When are you due?" Liz asked.
"Well," Maria said. "According to the doctor about another month."
"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl," Liz asked.
"No we wanted it to be a surprise," Maria said with a smile.
"I'm so happy for the both of you," Liz said taking both of their hands in hers.
"So where's Alex?" Michael asked impatiently.
"He's at his motel room resting," Liz said.
"So let's go see him," Michael said getting up from his seat.
"He wants to be alone for a little while," Liz said. "Besides there are some things we need to talk about."
"What kind of things," Maria asked.
"Alex," Liz said. "And what he's been through."
Alex's Motel Room

"Did you have any trouble?" Alex asked.
"Nope," James said. "I got in and out."
"Good," Alex said. "I don't want to draw any attention to them."
"You know Trevor there's this thing called catching up," James said. "It's where you and your friends sit down, maybe even have a drink or two, and talk about all the things that have happened to themselves while you've been gone."
Alex was silent.
"Well there goes my first attempt at humor with you," James said. "I was hoping that after our last encounter you were starting to lighten up."
Alex remained silent.
"Alright, who do you want to hear about first?" James asked.
"Liz Parker," Alex said.
"Okay," James said. "Liz Parker graduated from West Roswell High 2002. She is a senior at the University of Denver where she is studying to be a molecular biologist."
Alex chuckled as he heard this.
"I always figured Liz would go someplace like Harvard or..." Alex trailed off as something occured to him. "Wait a minute did Liz go with anyone to Denver U?"
"Uh, Yeah," James replied. "Max Evans."
"That bastard," Alex muttered. "What's have those two been up to?"
"Well they lived together from August 2002 to about June 2004," James said. "Then she just up and left him, recently she was involved briefly with a Sean Deluca until he was busted for possession. Max Evans is studying to be a biochemist, he hasn't ben involved with anyone since Liz left him."
"Will wonders never cease," Alex said. "What about Maria Deluca?"
"Maria Deluca is now known as Maria Guerin," James said.
"Maria and Michael are married?" Alex asked with surprise.
"Yup," James said. "They were married July 25, 2003 they seperated February 13, 2004 and reconciled six months later. They are both in their senior year at Easter New Mexico University in Roswell. And they are expecting a child pretty soon, so they decided to take the year off from school until after the baby is born. For the past several months they've been living in Texas with Maria's Aunt."
"Why did they seperate?" Alex asked.
"Well a few months after they were married Maria became pregnant," James said. "A month into the pregnancy Maria miscarried."
"Oh no," Alex sighed.
"That's not all," James said.
"There's more?" Alex asked.
"Yup," James said. "Apparently a few weeks after Maria's miscarriage Michael started having an extramarital affair."
"What?" Alex asked
"Yeah," James said. "It went on for about three months, until Maria found about it and left him."
"With who?" Alex asked. "Who did Michael have the affair with?"
"Isabel Evans," James said.
