Part 19

Liz Sings: Here I stand alone

With this weight upon my heart

And it will not go away

In my head I keep on looking back

Right back to the start

Wondering what it was that made you change

Well I tried

But I had to draw the line

And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind

What if I had never let you go

Would you be the man I used to know

If I'd stayed If you'd tried

If we could only turn back time

But I guess we'll never know

Many roads to take

Some to joy

Some to heartache

Anyone can lose their way

And if I said that we could turn it back

Right back to the start

Would you take the chance and make the change

Do you think how it would have been sometimes

Do you pray that I'd never left your side

What if I had never let you go

Would you be the man I used to know

If I'd stayed

If you'd tried

If we could only turn back time

But I guess we'll never know

If only we could turn the hands of time

If I could take it back would you still be mine

'Cos I tried

But I had to draw the line

And still this question keep on spinning in my mind

What if I had never let you go

Would you be the man I used to know

What if I had never walked away

'Cos I still love you more than I could say

If I'd stayed

If you'd tried

If we could only turn back time

But I guess we'll never know

We'll never know

"Wow, Liz that was lovely." Nancy spoke with tears in her eyes.

"Yeah that was beautiful," Diane commented.

"Thank you. Now if you'll excuse us we will put the children down in the spare bedroom." Liz spoke.

"I have an idea, why don't we let the Evans' take Anne now." Jeff suggested.

"Dad, I think that it would be a mistake to separate them now. They are so close and it will be easier to take them away gradually. Make it easier on them". Liz begged her father.

"Easier on them... what about us?. We have just found out that our children are not what we thought they were."

"But we are not children Dad, were adults and we are just trying to stay alive and make the best of what we have here. So, if you can't except me for who I am then I can leave. Actually that makes more sense because us being here is putting you and mom in more danger." Liz spoke calmly trying not to let her emotions show.

"Liz, no! I don't care about the danger! Ever since we found you in the adoption centre in Florida, we have always considered our daughter. You being different will never ever make us not except you. We love you and want you and Katie to be here." Nancy spoke to her daughter with tears in her eyes.

"Thanks mom." Liz said softly and hugged her Mother.

Liz, Maria, Isabel and Serena got up and picked up the sleeping children and carried them upstairs. Five minutes later the girls came downstairs.

"Well, we better head off now, it's getting late." Philip told everyone and he and Diane got up. Then Philip asked his children "Max, Isabel--are you coming?"

"Dad, I have the jeep, so I want to say goodbye to Liz. and talk to her bout something and I'll be home in a little while." Max told his father.

"And Alex said he will take me home. As our house is on the way." Isabel told her father.

Alex just nodded his head in agreement.

"Okay, we will see you when you come back. Don't be too late." Diane told her children. She then turned to Nancy" Thank you so much for letting us have a meeting here. I thank god that we finally know what our kids are up to."

Nancy and Jeff agreed, said good night and then Mr. and Mrs. Evans left. Maria said goodbye to Michael then went upstairs to stay with the kids while Max talked to Liz. Kyle went home with Serena and Alex took Isabel home.

Nancy and Jeff went upstairs while Max and Liz went to Liz's room.
