**A Few Months Later**
Max bounced Lily softly in his arms to calm her down. She was burning up with a fever and the administrative nurse was taking forever to check him in.
"Aidan, hold still." He heard a woman tell her young son.
He glanced over in the direction that he heard the order.
She was a small woman, long dark hair, early twenties. She was trying to get her son to stand up against the wall so the poor MA could get his height.
"No, Mama." The boy demanded squirming away.
"One, two," She started counting.
"Fine." He stood up tall against the wall.
Max would have to remember that trick, he told himself. He remembered from when he was little, him and Isabel having five seconds to listen to their parent's demands.
Feeling someone watching her, Liz looked behind her. Her eyes met a man with dark intense eyes. He turned and blushed. His attention seemingly on the person in front of him.
He was holding a baby girl, sick, by the looks of it. She couldn't have been more than a year old.
"Come on, Aidan." Liz pulled her son over to a chair and pulled him into her lap.
Max watched as she pulled a little board book from her purse and let her son point at the pictures.
Max finally got Lily checked in and went to find a seat in the waiting room. The only seat was next to the woman with her son.
Max walked over. "Um, mind if I sit here, I don't want to get your son sick." He asked shyly.
"Oh, go ahead. It's time he started getting immune to diseases around. He starts daycare soon." She smiled.
Max sat down and rocked Lily who was once again whimpering in his arms.
Aidan leaned over on Liz's lap and stroked Lily's face. Her eyes opened and she leaned into his soft touch. "Baby." He whispered smiling.
"Yeah, that's a baby." Liz told her son. "Are you ok with that?" She asked Max. Some parents were kind of weird about people touching their kids.
"Sure, if you are." He smiled. Lily stopped whimpering and her eyes rolled back symbolizing she was going to fall asleep.
"Mrs. Parker and Aidan?" The MA called.
"That's us." Liz nudged Aidan off her lap and stood up. "Nice meeting you."
"You too." He said dismayed. She was a Mrs. Parker, meaning there was a Mr. Parker out there somewhere waiting for his wife to come home with their adorable little son.
Max sulked. He hadn't seen a wedding ring on her finger. Oh well, that's over with, he told himself.
Liz felt her wedding and engagement rings around her neck at being called Mrs. Parker. She always went for them whenever anyone called her that.
"Mr. Evans, Lilian?" The MA called.
Max stood with a now whimpering Lily in his arms and went to the opposite door Mrs. Parker and her son went through.

"Max, I have a friend, that I want you to meet." Isabel said as she entered Max's apartment with a handful of groceries.
"I think not, Is." He said skeptically.
"Yes, you'll love her. Max, please, for me?" She begged, she knew this one was going to work.
"The last ones you set me up with were complete flakes. I couldn't talk to them without giggling or anything." He said from the couch where he was watching Caillou with a now well Lily.
"Max, come on, just this last one, if you don't like her then I won't send you on anymore dates." She begged.
"No, Isabel." He got up to go help her put groceries away.
"Her name is Liz."
"So?"
"Doesn't that kid disturb her, Max? I mean, look at him, he's four years old and bald what's wrong with that picture?" Isabel asked looking at the offensive TV screen.
"No, she loves him. Besides, he's kinda cute." He shrugged.
"Cute? Max you gotta talk to some real adults." She laughed.
"What's she trying to get you to do?" Michael asked walking into the kitchen.
"He won't go out with Alex's sister." Isabel pouted.
"Why not?" Maria asked holding Lily.
"Maria, she was quiet." Max scolded.
"I know, but I still have to spoil her. Why won't you go out with Liz?" She asked.
"Liz?" Max asked confused.
"Alex's sister, Max." Isabel said annoyed. Men!
"I have Lily, I can't." Max tried as an excuse.
"Won't work." Isabel said taking Lily from Maria.
"I'm not going, girls, give it up." Max said done discussing the idea.
"Alright, alright." Maria huffed.
"I don't think Alex would like the idea of matching up his baby sister anyway." Michael shrugged.
"Normally he wouldn't but she needs to get out." Alex walked in.
"Why is everyone here?" Max asked confused.
Lily clapped her hands excitedly at so many people in her house.
"Liz said no anyway." Alex shrugged and took Lily from Isabel.
Lily smiled and hugged Alex. Alex didn't spend much time at Max's apartment since Liz moved and was getting settled. Lily always had a soft spot for him and vice versa.
"Good, because, even if she said yes, I wouldn't go." Max said.
"Max, we're going shopping for the wedding, I want to get Lily fitted for her dress." He took her from Alex.
"I'm not going." Max said firmly. He never went shopping with Isabel, it was signing your own death certificate.
"Fine, we'll take her." Maria shrugged then glared. "Please?"
"No, Maria." Michael shooed the girls out the door.
"So, what do you wanna do with our day of freedom?"
"Day? I didn't send anything with Lily." Max said worried.
"Don't worry, Max. They have to stop by my place anyway and Lily has tons of stuff there." Alex grinned and went towards the front room.
"Max." Alex called.
"Yeah?"
"What show is this?"

Isabel and Maria stood on Liz's doorstep waiting for Liz to answer the door.
"Hey," Liz said opening the door with an upset Aidan in her arms.
"Hi." Isabel smiled easily.
"Come on in, I just have to finish getting a few things together. How long do you expect to be gone?" She asked exchanging the board book she had in her purse to a new one.
"Only a few hours. We're going to Main Place, there's a food court and everything." Maria said.
"Baby." Aidan said noticing Lily who was perched behind his aunt's leg.
Liz glanced down to see where Aidan saw another baby.
"Her name's Lily." Isabel picked her up so she was face to face with Aidan.
Lily's face lit up when she recognized the boy from the doctor's office.
"Same baby as the doctor's?" Aidan asked confused.
"No, I don't think so." Liz studied the girl closely.
"Yes!" Aidan demanded.
"Fine." She set him on the floor "go find your booster seat."
"Found it." He pulled the heavy chair behind him.
"Alright, let's go, sweetie." She picked him up. Liz glanced one more time just to make sure it was that little girl from the doctor's office.
