Part 15
Max carefully steered a dazed and shocked Liz down the stairs with Katie following behind. Everyone stopped talking when they saw the look on Liz's face.
"I take it she knows, Maxwell." Michael guessed.
"Knows what?" Maria asked confused.
"I told her. I am sorry everyone," Katie apologised, "I thought she knew." Katie said quietly, looking upset.
That snapped Liz out of her dazed expression and she picked Katie up, setting her on her lap. "Katie it's okay. I am a bit annoyed that it was kept from us." Liz spoke with a bit of anger in her voice.
"Liz, I'm sorry, but we were told not to tell any of you." Max apologised.
"WHAT IS GOING ON??" Maria shouted, annoyed with being ignored. She wanted to know why Katie was apologising and why Liz looked shocked when she came down the stairs with Max.
"I think Julie better give us the whole story." Max told everyone.
"What about?" Julie looked confused.
"About the fact that in a dream Max, Michael and I had, we were told that Katie, Ricky, Anne and Jenny were our children with our partners on Antar." Isabel spoke softy.
There were a lot of gasps coming from Maria, Alex, and Kyle. Serena did not look so shocked.
Liz saw that and asked, "Serena why don't you look as shocked as the others?" "I had the same dream, and it felt right." Serena answered softly. "I was just going to wait to see if anybody brought it up."
"Lets sit down to breakfast and then we will finish our discussion," Max suggested.
"Great, I'm hungry!" Alex and Kyle agreed at the same time.
"We know!" Liz and Maria answered giggling.
"Hey, I'm a growing boy who needs food!" Kyle said while flexing his biceps.
"And I'm just hungry," Alex clarified, digging into his pancakes. Everyone was laughing at Kyle's and Alex's statements.
They all ate in silence with lots of thoughts going around in their heads. After breakfast, the plates and glasses were washed and put away using some alien hocus pocus. They sat down in the living room and Julie started to talk. "I'll continue from where we left off yesterday. You will know everything. It will all be revealed. Max and Liz's wedding soon came. It was a very happy occasion. Lots of people came to see their King and his chosen Queen married. The day after the wedding, the coronation took place and Liz was crowned Queen of Antar. Kivar was very unhappy when he heard about this and he was determined to kill Max and take Liz as his wife, while keeping Vilandra as his mistress. He then waited till he could sort out his plan. Three years went by and Antar was a happy place. Alex and Isabel were married one year after Max and Liz had been and during their reception, Michael made a shocking proposal to Maria. He had already asked Alex and Isabel if he could make an announcement. Max, Liz, Isabel, Alex, Kyle, Serena and Maria's father knew what Michael was going to ask Maria. Michael asked if he could have everyone's attention. And then bent on one knee in front of Maria. Michael asked her to be his wife. Maria was shocked and happy and nodded right away and Michael slipped a ring onto her finger. He picked her up and swung her around, kissing her. Everyone was clapping and cheering. They were all glad that Michael and Maria were finally engaged. Liz was smiling at one of her best friends when suddenly she felt dizzy. She excused herself from a group of people. She went outside to get some air. Max noticed that she had left and followed her. He felt that she was not well and he was a bit concerned."
"I remember that!" Liz interrupted suddenly and that caused her friends to stare at her. "I went into the rose garden and sat down on the bench. Max came and sat down beside me. I let him connect with me to see what was wrong. He found out that I was pregnant with a baby girl." Liz looked at Max with tears in her eyes. Then she carried on, "We decided to keep it to ourselves for a few days, till the excitement had worn off."
"Liz, I don't mean to interrupt, but I don't understand how you can remember that. You had your memories wiped when you were in your pods. You were only meant to have feelings that you knew each other. Your memories are meant to come back when you have bonded with your partner."
"By bonded, you mean .. you know." Maria asked, blushing slightly.
"Yes Ria. Shall I call it mating? Would that be easier?" Julie asked amused.
Maria nodded embarrassed about what she had asked and buried her head in Michael's shoulder. Michael tightened his grip around her waist. "I think I better take the kids upstairs so they can play. And we can carry on." Liz suggested. Max went to help.
When Liz and Max came back down, Julie asked, "Liz, do you remember everything about your past?"
"No I only remember bits. But the story that you are telling sounds very familiar." Liz explained.
"How can Liz remember things?" Max asked Julie.
"Has Liz been close to dying at all?" Julie asked everyone.
"Yes she has, and I healed her. It was awhile ago. She got shot in the Crashdown. And I connected with her." Max explained.
"Well that's it. That must have triggered her memories when Max healed Liz and formed a connection."
"Okay now we know about that can we please get on with the story?" Michael asked impatiently.
"Okay. When Max announced Liz's pregnancy, everyone was happy that there would be an heir to the throne. Kyle and Serena got engaged and they had a double wedding with Michael and Maria a few months after Alex and Isabel's wedding. Liz gave birth to a baby girl. They named her Beka."
"What is going on?" A shouting female voice sounded from the back door. Liz and everyone turned to where the voice was coming from and simultaneously, all their faces became pale and frightened.
