Dreaming Of You
Category: Max/Liz, Maria
Summary: Maria finds out the truth. Max and Liz think that they can finally be happy.
Author's Note: The title is taken from Selena's song. I have to say that I love Selena and was crushed by her death.
Sorry about the lack of updates, guys. But I just updated 'You Can't Handle Me', also. So if you get a chance, read that one too! Thanx.
Meanwhile, i'm gonna try and not get into the sci-fi stuff. Becuz I really suck at writing science fiction, I can't do it. So it's mostly gonna be anything but that. I'm not really sure, what i'm doing with this story. I might just stop writing it, and write another AU fic. I've got another idea for an AU fic, that I think would turn out better than this. I just think that this story is going nowhere.
Until I decide, here's part seven.
Also, I have no idea how long it takes to get from Roswell to Albuqerque. I just guessed.
* * * *
Maria looked around for her keys.
"Where the hell are they?!" She said outloud.
At the same time, Liz was talking on the phone while Max had fallen asleep.
"You can't do this. Max and I are happy. The deal is over." Liz whispered into the phone.
"No, it's not, Lizzie. You owe me, big time. I can't even show my face around there anymore." The voice on the other line said.
"That is not my fault, you agreed TO THE DEAL!"
Max stirred.
"Shit, he's awake." Liz said, and looked at Max. His eyes fluttered and then shut. "Never mind."
The voice on the other end sighed. "Look, Liz. The reason i'm all over your ass, is because, I fell in love with Max. Okay, I love him. Then you came and took him away from me. I know it was the deal, and it's my fault, 'cause I didn't know I would get attached. Liz, you're gonna break his heart when he finds out. THAT IT WAS ALL A FUCKING SETUP!"
"I never wanted to hurt him, I just wanted to make sure he loved me." Liz said as tears came out of her eyes.
"Has Max ever stopped loving you?"
"I don't know."
"No, Liz. He never stopped loving you."
Liz hung up. She turned and saw Max was wide awake.
Maria was driving about thirty miles over the speed limit, when she stopped. Maybe the doctor wasn't the greatest choice. Maybe those cheap pregnancy tests were the safest thing right now.
'Safe from what?' Maria thought, but she went to the closest drug store.
* * * *
"Max, I thought you were sleeping." Liz said wiping away tears.
Max sat up. "I was listening to your conversation. I'm sorry, but Liz, what are you keeping from me?" He said and wiped away the tears.
"I can't tell you, Max." Liz said, moving away. "I'm so scared, you'll leave me."
Max stood up and walked closer to her, "I will never leave you."
"You don't know what I did, to you!" Liz said, "I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, Max. I just wanted to know, to make sure you still loved me."
"Liz, what the hell is going on?"
* * * *
Maria bought the cheapest test she could find.
"Do you have a bathroom?" She asked the cashier.
"All the way back, then take a right."
"Thanks." Maria said and ran.
* * * *
Liz backed away, "I have to go." She said and ran out the door.
"Wait, LIZ!" Max yelled and ran after her.
* * * *
Maria checked once more to make sure. She checked again. Here was her proof. Her proof that she was pregnant.
* One Day Later *
Liz finally stopped. She was in Albaquerque, New Mexico. The gas station looked over a hundred years old. But this is where they would meet.
Liz got out of the car and stepped inside the store. It was deserted, but she could hear a girls voice.
".....so.....shit....gotta go...she's here.....Liz...bye."
A shadow emerged from the backroom. "Hello, Lizzie."
Liz smiled. "Hey, I haven't seen you in so long."
You could now clearly make out the girl. "I know."
"You know," Liz said, "I have to hand it to you Brit. You did a great job."
"Why thank you, Lizzie. Perfection is not easy."
"I know. But you pulled it off." Liz laughed. "I think you made a great Lily Thompson."
* * * *
Maria went home and fell on the couch. It would have to be sooner or later. Michael was going to have to know. Because he was the only guy that could be the father.
She got up and dialed his number. It rang a few times, then he answered.
"Hello?"
"Michael?"
Michael was confused, was this Maria?
"Maria?"
"Yeah, it's me. I just wanna say sorry. For everything. I'm so sorry, Michael."
"Maria, what's wrong?"
Maria sobbed quietly. "I'm..I'm pregnant."
Michael dropped the phone on the floor.
* * * *
"So, Britney, what do you want? I mean, I already gave you the house, it's out in New York. And you better be thankful for that, it wasn't cheap."
Britney smiled. "I know, I'm going there in two weeks. But you destroyed me, Lizzie. My rep especially."
Liz shook her head. "No, I didn't destroy your precious rep. So what if you can't go back to Roswell? It's a dinky town in the middle of nowhere. Basically, it's a piece of land with some grass and weeds."
"Exactly, and it was my home."
"You have a house in New York."
"I have to start all over. Did you ever think maybe I didn't want to be the little slut?"
Liz sighed. "You brought this on yourself. This is how you made yourself. I didn't tell you to go and sleep with every guy you met."
"But I have to, for you to get YOUR WAY!"
"Max Evans. He was the ONLY ONE!"
"God, Liz," Britney put her hands on her face, "I'm not even eighteen yet. Look what I've become."
"You turn eighteen next week. And don't start with your emotional bullshit. That's not us, Brit. We've never been that way. Me and you, always tough, that's how it's always been. Now, Max is waiting."
* * * *
Max drove home. Liz had just called him on his cell, and told him to meet her at the house. What was going on, he didn't know.
* * * *
'Okay.' Liz thought as she walked through the door. 'He deserves to know.'
She walked in the house.
"Max?" Liz said, and saw him sitting on the couch.
"Liz, what happened?" Max stood up. "I was worried."
"Max, you need to know. I've been lying to you. I put you," Liz stopped. She was going to break his heart. "I set you up."
Max shook his head. "I don't understand."
Liz sighed. "There is no Lily Thompson. Her name's Britney. Britney Parker. She's my sister."
"What? Liz, what the hell are you talking about?"
"I made her into Lily Thompson. I made her love you, and get engaged. It was a test, Max. I wanted to see if you'd pass it."
"A test for what?" Max asked. It was all starting to become clear.
"If you'd marry her or not. If you'd still go through with it, when I know you still loved me."
"This is happening wrong. Something's wrong." Max said.
"I know, it's hard to take it all in. But you'll get it."
Max stood up. "All this while, I blamed myself for Lily leaving. YOU MADE HER LEAVE!"
Liz now felt awful. "I'm so sorry, Max."
"I was heartbroken, Liz. You have no idea what you took from me."
Okay, she didn't expect that. She didn't know he felt that much for Britney, well Lily. Whatever. She knew now, things just wouldn't be the same.
* * * *
Max drove out to the pod chamber. He just needed to get away. Away from Liz. It hurt to say it, but it was true. How could she do this to him?
Max got out and sat on the rough ground.
"Rough night?" A voice behind him said.
Max turned around, and saw the person he thought he'd never see again.
* * * *
"Alright, ma'am, and you say you know who the father is?" The doctor asked.
Maria nodded. "Yes, right there." She said and pointed to Michael.
"Okay, you sure you don't want us to run any tests, just to make sure?"
Maria raised an eyebrow. "He's the only guy that could be the father."
"Would you like to know the gender?"
Maria nodded.
"Okay, Maria, you are having a little girl."
"Really?" She smiled. Maybe everything would turn out alright after all.
* * * *
"Lily?" Max asked. Somehow she looked younger.
"It's Britney." She said and sat down next to him.
Max stared at her for a few seconds. Then he hugged her.
"How did you find me?"
"I followed you out here."
Max nodded. "Wow, you look so...young."
Britney smiled. "Maybe that's 'cause I'm only seventeen."
"What?" Max said and stood up. Seventeen?
"Yeah, didn't Liz tell you?"
Max swallowed. "So when I met you, you were only..."
"Fifteen." Britney finished for him.
Max looked disgusted. "Fifteen? FIFTEEN!? Liz did that to you?"
"You weren't that much older."
"I was eighteen. I was an adult, you were just a kid."
"I WAS NOT A CHILD!" Britney yelled at him. "If you knew what I went through and what I've seen, you'd know I'm not a 'just a kid'."
* * * *
Liz lay in her bed, tears staining the pillow. She was all alone. Max had left, close to three hours ago.
Liz looked at the clock. She needed to go to sleep, or she would never wake up. Just as she closed her eyes, there was a soft tap on her shoulder.
"Liz?" A quiet voice said.
Liz turned around and saw Maria, who had also been crying.
"Maria, what are you doing?" Liz said and hugged her.
"I'm pregnant Liz. I'm ninteen and I'm pregnant." Maria sobbed.
