Chapter 4
Back to Normal.Almost
Max woke up to the sight of a pair of beautiful chocolate doe eyes staring back at him. He smiled and leaned in to kiss this amazing creature that lay in his arms. 'She's mine,' he thought 'And I'm hers, forever!' "Morning," Liz smiled up at his beautiful amber eyes. "Morning, yourself," Max whispered into her ear while nibbling just a little bit. "He he he," Liz giggled, "That tickles." "Well, that's kinda the point now, isn't it?" Max asked with a husky voice. "Oh. I have to get up and open the Crashdown." Liz groaned as she pulled the covers off of her and got up. "Do you have to?" Max grabbed her hand and pulled back down on top of him and kissed her passionately, trying to persuade her to stay. "Yes, I have to." She said, getting back up reluctantly. Liz walked over to her closet and pulled out her work uniform and put it on whilst Max watched her with seductive eyes and a pouting mouth. "My parents are out of town and the left me in charge." Liz said, walking over to the mirror and adjusted her alien antenna headband. "Fine, just, wait for me ok?" Max said climbing out of bed and slipping on his and his pants. Before Liz could leave the bedroom Max grabbed her and pulled her in for one more mind-boggling kiss. When he released her he whispered, "I'll meet you downstairs." Max climbed out the window and down the fire escape. He jumped into his jeep and drove home to change, then went straight back to the Crashdown.
As soon as Max was out the window Liz pulled open her door and headed downstairs to the restaurant. She unlocked the front door and switched the sign to open, and then she turned to go put on some coffee.
The first person to enter the café was Michael. Liz turned toward the door expectantly when she heard the bell jingle. When she noticed it was Michael her head dropped a little but still she said, "Hey Michael." Michael was completely taken aback by this gesture. To have Liz actually acknowledge he presence was truly a miracle in his eyes, considering how closed off she'd been for the past 2 months. "Wow, Liz you're actually talking to me, I'm proud of you." "Yeah, so, can't a person say hello to a frie - Max!!!" Liz screeched and ran over to him, jumping into his arms and kissing him passionately. "Hello to you too, Liz," Max said still holding onto her. "Ok, have I missed something here, Maxwell? Why are you kissing Liz when you're with Tess, and why has Liz become all happy again when just yesterday she was totally depressed and pissed off?" Michael asked. He was so confused. Just when Max was about to explain, the bell on the door chimed and Liz jumped out of Max's embrace and screamed, "MARIA!!!!!" Liz rushed over to her best friend. "Oh Maria, I love you so much!" Liz fell into a completely surprised Maria. "Well, I love you too chica, but what's with the sudden change in attitude." Maria asked returning Liz's hug. Liz fell to the ground in tears, pulling Maria down with her not willing to let go. "God, Maria I'm so sorry," Liz choked out. "It's ok Lizzie, come on babe, lets go into the back and talk, ok?" Maria suggested, pulling Liz up off the floor and helping her into the back room. "Ok, Maxwell, what the hell was that?" Michael demanded. "Well it's kinda a long story." Max started. "Well I've got all day." Michael countered. "Ok, well it all started with this," Max pulled out a note form his jacket pocket. "I was going to talk to Liz last night and all I found was this note." He handed the note to Michael. Michael read the note over and by the time he had finished, his hands were trembling. "My god, Max, I never realized, I mean. I never knew," Michael couldn't even bring himself to say it. "I know, that's how I felt," Max continued on to tell Michael tell Michael what happened from the then until he had Liz safely back home, conveniently leaving out the part about the cementing their relationship. "Wow," was all Michael could think to say.
"Oh god, Maria. I can't believe I almost, almost. killed myself." Liz ended in a whisper. "How could I have even considered that? I was so selfish. I was scaring myself so badly. The bullet, it was. it was and inch away from my head. I actually pulled the trigger." Liz cried on her friends shoulder. "Shh, shh, it's all over now, you're safe now. You're going to he ok now, I promise. No one needs to know about this, ever. You're back, that's all that matters now." Maria was trying desperately to make Liz feel better. But after what she just found out, she wasn't sure she would be able to hold it together. "Maria?" "Yeah," "There's something else I have to tell you, and you have to promise not to freak out." Liz pleaded. "With light of recent situations, I think I could handle just about anything right now." Maria joked nervously. "So babe, what is it?" "Well, um, I didn't think I should keep this from you and I kinda need to talk about it. Um, last night, me and Max. Max and I, we, uh, we kinda, we." Liz stumbled over her words. "Did you do what I think you did?" Maria asked hesitantly. Liz just nodded her head, knowing exactly what Maria was thinking "HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, YOU DIDN'T?" Maria screamed. "Wow, this is huge, Liz, really huge." Maria said just as the guys burst in through the door thinking something was terribly wrong. "Is everything ok? Liz are you alright?" Max asked kneeling down next to her. "Yeah, I'm fine." Liz said blushing slightly from Maria's outburst. Max turned to look at Maria and she was practically hyperventilating. "Maria, are YOU ok?" Max asked. "Yeah, Max, God, I, you." Maria threw her arms around him and squeezed him tightly for bringing Liz back to her, then she pulled back and slapped him us side the head. "You know, I should probably hurt you, considering everything that's happened." Max was completely and utterly lost. "Sorry," Maria giggled along with Liz. "You just better take good care of her, or I'll have to kill you." Maria said. "Ok, what am I missing here?" Michael was really confused by now. Max turned to catch Michael's eyes, and when he did Max direct Michael's gaze to Liz then back to himself, hoping Michael would get the hint, but Michael was still clueless. "You're back together now, I already knew tha" "They slept together, you idiot." Maria giggled hugging Liz again. "Oh, OHHHH!" Michael's eyes grew so wide everyone thought that they were going to pop out of his eye sockets. This just made Liz and Maria giggle even more and Max let out a heavy chuckle as well. "Hey Max, can I talk to you for a minute?" Michael asked pulling Max back into the other room. "So." "So what Michael?" So, how was it? You know, the whole human/alien sex deal?" Michael nudged. "Look, Michael, I'm not gonna talk about my sex life with you." Max stated firmly. "Oh come on Max, don't hold out. I need to know what to expect." "No, you'll find out when you find out, mine is private." And with that Max went back into the other room.

After the morning rush died down, Liz sat down in a booth with Max. Whispering sweet nothings to each other, they didn't notice the bell chime as the door opened. "Hey Kyle," Maria said cheerfully. "Hey, how's it going?" Kyle asked. Maria tipped her head in the direction of Max and Liz, trying to get Kyle to look at them. As soon as he saw them his eyes bulged out. 'OH MY GOD.' He mouthed to Maria. 'I KNOW' she mouthed back. Kyle walked over to the booth and said, "Hey Liz, Max." "Kyle!" Liz said getting up to hug him. "Who Liz, I thought you wanted to keep us a secret?" Kyle smirked at the look on Max's face. "Kyle," Liz giggled while smacking him on the arm. "Whaaaaaaat?" Kyle dragged on to make it seem more dramatic. "So, I see we're back to normal again?" He asked slipping into the booth opposite Max and Liz. "Well, I'm trying, but for the most part yes." Liz said while Max kissed her neck. "Hey Max, either get a room of let the girl talk without you attacking her." Michael smirked, coming up to sit next to Kyle. "Ok, I have a few questions." Michael said. "Shoot," Kyle said for absolutely no reason. "Shut up Kyle." Michael snapped. "Anyways, ok first. Liz, I thought you slept with Kyle, but then I read that note, so what happened there?" "WHAT!?! Max, you let him read it?" Liz asked a little pissed off. "Well, yeah, I figured you wouldn't want to explain what was up with you so I let him read it so you didn't have to tell everyone." Max said, pleading with his eyes for her forgiveness. "Ok," said Liz. Then she went on to explain the whole Future Max ordeal. When she was done Kyle said, "So I was like helping you save the world? Cool." "Wow, Liz, you would give up happiness to save us, to save your world? Thank you." Michael was truly touched. "Yeah except it caused Alex's death. and almost mine." She added quietly as a tear trickled down her cheek. Max pulled her closer to him and kissed her on the top of her head. "It's ok," he whispered. What Liz just said finally clicked in and Kyle shouted, "YOU WHAT?" This caused Liz to cry even harder. "Kyle, shut up." Max said softly. "Here, Liz is it ok?" Max asked taking to note out of his pocket. "Yeah," She whispered. Max shoved the note in Kyle's face. Kyle read the note and his eyes started to water. "Liz," he whispered, taking her hand in his. Liz gave him a weak smile and whispered, "Max saved me." Max pulled Liz onto his lap at this and she rested her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms protectively around her. "I love you," he whispered, "I love you too."

2 weeks later.
Liz was just about to go to the newest customer in the Crashdown to take their order when she got this really gross feeling in the pit of her stomach. She ran to the bathroom and leaned over the toilet bole. She gagged a few times then hurled. Liz got up, flushed the toilet and washed her face. When she left the bathroom Maria was standing there, her hands on her hips giving Liz a quizzical look. "You ok?" She asked. "Yeah, I've just been doing that for the past 5 days." Liz replied sarcastically. "Well maybe you should go to the doctor and check it out." Maria suggested. "Yeah, sure. I'll go after work. Will you come with me?" Liz asked. "Sure. Now come one let's get back out there before our customers turn into evil aliens from another planet." Maria joked.
Liz and Maria changed back into their clothes and were about to head out when Max and Michael walked in. "Hey," Max said bringing Liz in for a kiss. "Hey," Liz said once Max released her. "Hey Maria," Michael said, following Max's lead. "Space boy," Maria replied giving him a funny look after he pulled away. "What? Am I not aloud to kiss my girlfriend?" "Well, yeah... Maria gave in. She wouldn't be one to deny public affection form Michael. "We were actually just on our way out." Liz said eyeing Maria. "Where are you going?" Max asked. "Girl thing." Maria filled quickly before Liz could even speak. "Yeah, we'll be back in around an hour." " Meet us here?" Maria asked the boys. "Sure thing, pixie." Michael replied playfully, pulling Maria to him again. "See you later," the girls said at the same time, slipping out of their mans grasps and running out the front door before the boys could stop them.
The girls arrived at the doctor's office and Liz froze. "It's ok chica," Maria assured her, taking her hand and pulling her into the office. "Hi, I'd like to make an appointment with the doctor for as soon as possible." Liz told the receptionist of the walk in clinic. "Sure thing, just fill out this form and I'll see what I can do." Liz filled out the form and handed it back to the receptionist. "Thank you, um...I think there's an opening right now, if that's ok?" "Yes that would be great." Liz said. "Ok come with me please." "I'll be right here when you come out, ok Liz." Maria called after her. "Thanks Ria."

When Liz came out, her hands were trembling and her bottom lip was quivering. "Liz, what's wrong?" Maria asked running over to her best friend. "Maria. I. I - I'm, I'm pregnant."
