Part 14

"Oh Liz, come here." Max spoke soothingly to Liz. He held her to his chest for a little while. Liz then broke out of Max's embrace and started to kiss him on the lips. Liz's tongue rolled against Max's lips and he opened his mouth and Liz put her tongue in his opened mouth and they kissed for what seemed a long time. Liz pushed Max on her bed a straddled him, still kissing. The need to breathe reluctantly broke them apart. Max had his forehead to Liz's. Liz then kissed along Max's neck and her hands travelled underneath his shirt. Max was moaning at the sensation Liz was causing on his neck and with her hot hands running over his abdomen. Liz then stopped causing a groan of disappointment from Max at the loss of her hands. Liz sat up still straddling Max and tugged at his T-shirt and with his help, she got it off. Then she took her shirt off and Max was staring at her body, " My god you are so beautiful, but Liz we can't."

"Max, I want to. Please make love to me. Do you want me?" Liz pleaded. Looking deeply into Max's eyes.

Max looked back at Liz, shocked at her question. "Liz, of course I do. As much as I would love to make love to you, it's too soon and we are not ready. But when the time is right, I will make love to you. But not now. Not here, while our friends are asleep down the hall, and the children are here." Max explained, wanting so much to take Liz and make her his. But knowing that Liz is still upset with what Matthew has done.

" I know, it's just that I want you so much". Liz leaned over to Max and kissed him. She then got off Max and curled up on his bear chest. Max kissed Liz on the forehead and wispered, " I loved you too. And I do want so much more as well."

"I love you too Max". Liz confessed. Then turned off the light. Soon, both of them were fast asleep.

Alex and Isabel's room:

"I can't believe that we were married. Alex what is going to happen when Liz's parents come back and find that there are children staying here?

"Izzy bear, I have no idea. We better ask Max and Liz what to do. I know I would like to tell my parents. And I know you would like to. Maria has been wanting to tell her mother for awhile. The sheriff knows about us. That's why he was after Max. He though that Max did something to hurt Liz. He was going to expose us. I know Liz does want to tell her parents but she just doesn't want them to be endangered."

"And Michael is Michael. He doesn't want anyone else to know." Isabel interrupted.

"Yeah, anyway I suppose we should get some sleep."

"Okay, Alex can you hold me all night?" Isabel asked.

" Of course I will," Alex wispered. He kissed Isabel on the head and turned off the light and held her to his chest.

At eight, Liz woke up and slipped out of the bed trying not to wake up Max. He moaned a bit from the loss of Liz's body, but stayed asleep and rolled over. She pulled the cover over Max and just sat on the side of the bed looking at him for a moment. She thought about how much she loved him and her mind came back to last night when she nearly seduced Max. She and Max had never gone that far before and she loved it, and she decided to do that more often.

Liz then decided that she would have a shower, get dressed, then write in her journal for a little while before she woke Max up.

15 minutes later Liz sat down on a chair on her balcony and started to write about what she had learned last night. She still could not believe that she and Max were meant to be together. After about 20 minutes of writing in her journal, Liz was startled when Max climbed out the window and made her jump.

"Max, you know I hate it when you make me jump," she scolded him.

"I'm sorry Liz, so are you ever going to let me read your journal? Please? I promise to be a good boy?" Max begged, down on one knee, sticking out his bottom lip.

"Okay Max, you can... one day." Liz agreed.

"Oh Liz. Thank you, thank you!!" Max kept on kissing Liz. "I love you so much."

"I love you too, Max." Liz whispered against his lips and kissed him back

They were interrupted by a child giggling. Max broke the kiss and he and Liz saw a fully dressed Katie smiling.

"Get over here little lady." Max called to Katie. She carefully came onto the balcony and sat on Max's lap. "So how is my favourite little lady today?" Max asked Katie.

Katie giggled and answered, "I am okay, but hungry. Everybody is up and dressed, and Serena, Aunty Serena and Uncle Kyle are here. Uncle Michael is making pancakes. Aunty Maria says we have to wait till you and Aunty Lizzy come down so Uncle Alex told me to come and either wake you up or tell you to hurry up. Uncle Alex is hungry again."

"Uncle Alex is always hungry," Liz repeated. And they all laughed. " C'mon Katie, lets leave Max to get washed and ready and he will meet us downstairs."

"But I want da... I mean Max to give me a piggyback ride." Katie stuttered out. She knew the truth that Max was her daddy and Liz was her mummy but she wasn't sure when to mention it.

"Okay Katie and Liz, give me 5 minutes. And then we will all go down together." Max suggested. Max then disappeared into Liz's bathroom.

"So Katie, what do you think of Max?" Liz asked Katie. Liz really wanted to know how she felt when it came to Max

"I like him a lot. Will he be my daddy?" Katie asked.

" Katie, Marcus is your daddy and Julie is your mummy." Liz told Katie.

Katie looked confused at Liz, "Not in our other life. You were my mummy and Max was my daddy you two was married."

"Katie, that's not true."

"Yes it is Liz.." Max's voice made her jump.

"What Max? I don't understand." Liz turned and looked at Max.

Max then told her about what his mother said in the dream
