Part 5
Liz's face lit up at the mention of Matthew.
"Do you think Matthew would help us?" Maria asked the group.
Meanwhile all sorts of thoughts were swimming around in Max's head. Who is Matthew? Why did Liz's face light up at the mention of his name?
Michael thought: Who is Matthew? Do we have to have another person in our group?
Isabel thought: Who is Matthew? I wonder if he is going to cause trouble for Max and Liz. I hope not.
"Liz why don't you give him a call?" Alex asked, "It wouldn't hurt to ask."
"Okay I'll be back in a minute." Liz then got the cordless phone and dialled a number while Katie sat on her lap.
"Hi Matthew, it's Beth Parker." Liz spoke into the phone.
"Bethy! How are you?" A concerned voice spoke to Liz.
"I'm okay, but I need your help. I sort of have Julie's children at the café." Liz spoke and then pulled the phone away from her ear waiting for the shouting to start.
"WHAT?? ARE YOU CRAZY? HE IS GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU. HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THEM?" A voice bellowed on to the phone.
Liz sent a grin to the others and replied, "Ricky phoned me and told me. So Alex and I went to pick the children up. Marcus came into the café a bout five minutes ago and threatened us. Can you come to Roswell and help us sort the children out? There is something else, but I'll tell you when you get here.
"All right, I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. Take care. Bye."
"I will and thanks." Liz spoke then she put down the phone and turned to the others. "He will be here tomorrow."
"Good." Alex spoke, relieved.
"Look guys it's getting late. Why don't you all spend the night here? There will be enough room." Liz asked the others. She did not really want to be alone tonight. She was really scared about what happened with Marcus but she had to be strong for the children.
"Yeah that's a good idea." Max told Liz. He did not want to her to be on her own especially after what happened with Marcus.
Max, Alex, and Kyle went to call their parents and told them that Max was staying over at Michael's and Isabel was staying over at Liz's and Kyle told his parents that he was staying over at Michael's. Maria did not have to call Amy DeLuca cause she was already staying at Liz's.
Liz was just about to put Katie to bed when she heard all the children's feet quietly padding down stairs. "What's going on guys? You're supposed to be in bed." Liz asked the children.
"We woke up. Can you, Aunty Maria, Uncle Kyle and Uncle Alex sing us to like you used to?" Ricky asked Liz.
The rest of the guys came in when they heard their names being called. "Okay before we decide to do that kids, I want to introduce you to some friends of ours. This is Max, his sister Isabel and Michael."
"Hi every one. C'mon Aunt Liz it will be fun!" Katie said, her eyes shining brightly.
"All right Ricky why don't you get my spare guitar out of Liz's room." Alex told Ricky who quickly ran into Liz's room.
"Okay I suppose we should do this," Liz spoke uncertainly. She had stopped singing a while ago. The last time the group sang was at Julie's funeral.
They all sat down in the living room with Katie surprising everyone by sitting on Max's lap. Ricky chose to sit on Michael's, Ann Marie sat on Isabel's lap, and Jenny cuddled next to Isabel and Michael.
