Chapter 21: The Big night

Liz was sitting on Max's bed, leafing through the high school book that she had found under Max's bed. She looked up and her eye caught a photo frame that was sitting on Max's shelf, she stood up and walked over to it. She picked up the frame and smiled at the photograph, it consisted Alex and Max at Christmas; Alex was in his Christmas elf outfit that Isabel made him wear while Max was laughing at something Alex had said to him. She felt a teardrop drip down her cheek and wiped it away.

An innocent life had been taken because of them, she vowed that she would find the person who killed Alex and bring them down for taking Alex away from them; Alex didn't deserve to die.

Max had walked into the bedroom and he saw Liz looking at the photograph and sighed, he knew that she blamed herself for Alex's death, she blamed herself for her mother and father's death, believing if it wasn't for her, they would still be alive.

He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her body, bringing her into his chest.

"There was nothing we could have done Lizzie, we never noticed any change in Alex." Max whispered.

"I could have used my empathy powers to check but I didn't," she whispered.

"Baby…" Max started and she turned around to face him.

"No Max, I should have known that something was wrong, my gut instincts told me and I ignored it. What kind of friend does that make me?" Liz demanded and Max sighed.

"A good one, you didn't want to believe that there could be something wrong with Alex and that it would have been our fault beside, you were pretty excited about him coming back from Sweden and from you getting battered and the prom, we kept forgetting it." Max explained and Liz sighed, knowing that Max was right.

"I know, but it doesn't make the pain any less." She whispered and Max pulled her into a hug.

"I know baby, I know." He whispered as they both clung to each other.

The gang found themselves in Alex's bedroom, it was about two weeks after the funeral, they knew that they should wait long but they wanted justice for Alex's death so they decided Alex's bedroom was the best place to start.

Liz was looking on the computer, picking out files that might hold some clues to what Alex was doing for the last couple of months.

"So you really think that Khivar could have killed Alex." Maria asked from where she was sitting on Alex's bed; looking through paper that she found stacked in the wardrobe.

"It makes sense, considering all the other alternatives, I mean, the Special Unit has been disbanded since summer and there has been no reason for them to group back up together and come after us. If the Skins were still alive, they would have attacked us cause I don't think they are really that patient and the Summit was pretty scared when Lilly threatened their lives if they came back to Roswell so I don't think they would risk her wrath by coming here again." Max explained, raking a hand through his hair, he was sitting next to Maria, looking through the papers as well.

"But why go after Alex, I mean, he must have known that he was risking his life by killing one of us and that Isabel wouldn't go to him." Tess explained, confused.

"Khivar has this … obsession with Vilandra, you see, when Lilly died, Vilandra became more dangerous than usual and Khivar thrived on it. She turned him down repeatedly only to be perused more and she almost gave in. Plus, Alex was the hacker of the group so he could have been a advantaged to him to find information and to decode the destiny book." Liz explained and noticed that one of the files has been locked. "Hmm, that's weird." She muttered.

"What?" Michael asked.

"Alex has locked this file while all the other ones hasn't been locked." Liz explained.

"Try 'I the Stud'" Maria informed and Liz looked at her, confused. "It's Alex's password for the net, he lets me on his computer." Maria explained and Liz nodded and typed in the password.

"Bingo." Liz stated.

"You found the farmer's dog." Kyle cracked and Liz smiled as the others rolled their eyes but couldn't help smile.

"No but it was the password." Liz stated as she clicked on the WordPad and opened it only to gasp at the words showing up.

"What?" Isabel asked as they all hurried over; they stared at the words in confusion and fear. Leanne is not Leanne was typed repeatedly.

"What do we do now?" Michael asked Max. Max sighed and raked a hand through his hair, frustrated.

"I guess we keep on the look out for more clues, there has to be something telling us who killed Alex." Max suggested and everyone nodded in agreement.

Liz walked over to Max and wrapped her arms around his waist while leaning her head on his shoulder, Max wrapped and arm around her shoulder, kissing her forehead. Liz knew that Max was feeling frustrated at everyone for asking him what to do now and he was getting annoyed that he didn't have an answer to the question that everyone wanted.

"What's this?" Michael asked as he picked up a piece of paper, they had all calmed down slightly from the revelation on the computer and was looking through the papers once more.

"What?" Liz asked.

"This is a renting property out in the desert." Michael explained and Liz took the paper and read it over.

"He's right, Alex has rented a place out in the desert; maybe we should check it out." Liz asked and Tess shrugged.

"Might as well, so far it's the only clue we've received other than that weird file." Tess agreed. Everyone nodded in agreement as they all stood up, received their jackets, and left the room, Liz turned around and waved her hand, making everything go back into their normal places, making sure that nothing was out of place.

The gang found themselves outside a small building- like dome.

"How the hell did Alex afford this?" Kyle asked.

"Maybe the killer had the money for it, either that or Alex managed to find the money and rent it out, beside in this area, it's not really expensive so Alex could afford it." Liz explained as they walked over to the door and Max used his powers to open the door, letting everyone step into the building.

"Man, look at all this stuff." Kyle exclaimed, there was a computer, a scanner, a printer and a folder that had something written on it, Liz walked over to it and looked at the writing before opening the folder.

"I can't believe it!" Liz gasped as she picked up the papers, everyone looked at her.

"What?" Max asked and Liz turned around with the papers in her hand.

"These are the decoding of the Destiny book!" Liz exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"No way!" Isabel stated as she hurried over, took the papers out of Liz's hand, and read it, her eyes growing wide with each word. "She right!"

"But I thought Khivar has taken the decoding with him!" Michael exclaimed.

"Maybe Alex transferred the printer's route to here so that he could keep it safe and come out here when he had gotten the chance only he was killed before he could." Tess suggested.

"He hid it from Khivar because he didn't want Khivar to get the information he wanted." Liz whispered and locked eyes with Max. "He died protecting the Granolith." She whispered and Max took her into his arms, comforting her.

"Let's go home, we all need to think about this and to recuperate, this is just giving me a headache." Michael stated and everyone nodded in agreement, as he or she picked up the papers and headed out of the building.

Liz turned around and used her powers to seal the door shut, preventing anyone from breaking in.

"I'm sorry Alex." She whispered, feeling guilty for not being able to protect him.

Max and Liz were lying on Max's bed, looking through the decoded papers, marvelling in the answers they had until Max grew annoyed at everything.

"I'm fed up with this!" Max muttered as he threw the papers across the room, Liz looked up into his face and saw that he was frustrated and annoyed.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"We have answers Liz but they keep bringing up more questions and trying to find clues into Alex's death and on top of all of this, everyone keeps looking up to me as the king I'm suppose to be and expected to have all the answers. I'm just tired." Max explained and Liz thought about it, she stood up, pulled on her shoes, and threw Max's jacket at him.

"Come with me, I have something to show you." Liz stated, Max pulled on his jacket and followed her out of the house, wondering what was going on.

Soon, Max and Liz found themselves outside the Observatory and Liz used her powers to unlock the lock, she let Max through first and shut the door, she led him up the stairs until they reached the telescope.

"Look through there." Liz whispered as she pointed over to the telescope. Max walked over to it and looked through it, he found himself staring at the V- shape and smiled.

"It's Antar." Max stated and Liz walked over to him.

"Our planet." Liz stated as they both looked up into the night-filled sky.

"Wow." Max exclaimed and Liz sighed.

"Max, we really need to talk." Liz stated and Max turned to face her, he nodded as they both moved toward the middle of the room and sat down.

"What is it Liz?" Max asked.

"It's about the royalty, I need you to tell me how you really feel about it." Liz stated, her eyes pleading with his to tell her the truth, Max took a deep breath.

"Well, I don't want to be the king Liz, I mean, Zan was the king in our past life, we are not Zan and Lilly, we are Max and Liz and we live on Earth, not Antar." Max blurted out, finally confessing his fears. "I mean, will we even get to go back to Antar and if we do, everything will be different, we'll be different and I have no idea how to be a king."

"I know how you feel Max." Liz confessed and Max looked at her, wide eyed. "When my dad told me that I was the queen of some planet I could barely remember, I freaked out, especially when he told me that I was married. I don't want to be the queen Max; I'm tired of having our lives in danger just because we are the king and queen. For once I would like to be Liz Parker and not have to worry about being Queen Lilly."

"So we agree, we give up the throne." Max asked and Liz sighed and nodded, she looked into his eyes.

"Yes, we give up the throne but we need to get rid of Khivar, he won't stop hunting us till he gets what he wants." Liz warned and Max nodded.

"I agree with that." Max stated and they both smiled before leaning into a kiss.

Liz groaned as their kiss turned heated and Max made his way down her neck, Liz lifted her hands up and pushed Max's jacket off him. Max moved his arms so his jacket could slip off him before bringing his hands up and pushing her jacket off her. They both kicked their shoes off as they both panted as they broke the kiss and looked into each other eyes. Max grabbed Liz around the waist and planted her on his lap so that she was straddling him; he went back in and kissed her neck, causing her to throw her head back in pleasure as he unbuttoned her top, kissing his way down her body.

Liz brought her head back up and ripped his shirt down the middle, causing the buttons to fly all over the place as Max came up and kissed her hard on the lips and pressed their upper body together, Liz hadn't worn a bra so their bare bodies meeting each other electrify them. Liz groaned when Max's hard chest rubbed against her ridged nipples, sending waves of pleasure throughout her body.

"Max!" Liz gasped out as them managed to get their tops off and onto the ground as Max got up on his knees with her wrapped around him and unbuttoned her jeans before sliding her zipper down. Liz had buried her fingers into his dark hair, guiding his face down to her nipple where Max, eagerly, took it into his mouth, sucking and licking provoking a primal moan from Liz. He managed to get the jeans unbuttoned and pulled them down her legs, Liz let her legs unwind so he could get her jeans off before wrapping them back around him once more and unbuckled his belt.

She slid the belt out of the loops and threw it away as Max kissed her hard once more on the lips, she let her hand run over his muscular body, enjoying the harness of his muscles and the softness of his skin along the hot heat generation from him. Unknowingly to them, there were trails of gold glow trailing from their fingers and onto their skin.

Liz let her head drop back once more as Max trailed his lips down her neck while she let her hands trail down his chest till she reached his jean button and unbuttoned it before pulling down the zipper. Max laid her on her back and they pulled down his jeans and socks off.

Soon Max laid himself back over her, letting their hands run all over other body, enjoying themselves. "Max, please." Liz gasped out as Max let his hands run up her thighs, he took off her pants and let one finger trail over her inner lips, Liz gasped as she arched her back in pleasure and he slid one finger inside of her, caressing her walls. Liz moaned as she let her head turn sideways in pleasure. She began moving her hips in the same motion as his finger while he pulled down his boxers and settled himself in between her legs.

"Are you okay?" Max asked once his body had settled down. Liz nodded.

"I'm fine, a little sore." She whispered.

"Can I?" Max asked and Liz nodded, Max rested his hand over her womb and closed his eyes, he concentrated and Liz felt the sting fade away as he healed her. Liz turned around to face him and kissed him on the lips.

"My angel." She whispered and Max kissed her.

"No, you are mine." He whispered back as they both lie down and fell into an exhausted sleep.

Max woke up, he looked around, confused about his surrounding till he spotted the telescope and it hit him. He looked down beside him and saw Liz cuddled into his side, sleeping with her head on his arm. He smiled gently before turning slightly on his side and stroked back her hair from her face. His smile widen as she turned her face into his hand.

He looked at his watch and his eyes widen when the time dawned on him, he turned back to Liz.

"Liz." Max whispered but she didn't stir, Max leaned in, kissing her forehead then the tip of her nose before latching onto her lips.

Liz groaned slightly as she returned the kiss, Max pulled away and Liz opened her eyes and met his. She smiled up at him.

"Hey." She whispered her voice rough with sleep and Max kissed her gently once more.

"We need to get home Liz, it's late." Max informed and Liz nodded.

They both got up and gathered their clothes together, pulling them on before linking hands and getting out of the observation. Max helped her get into the jeep before getting in himself. Liz, immediately, leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder. Max kissed the top of her head before driving off.

Liz entered the bathroom and smiled when she looked into the mirror, looking back at her was a glowing, smiling, happy young lady who was in love with the most amazing man. She giggled as she brushed her hair from her face and pulled her top off, she noticed that there was glowing part and turned back to the mirror with confusement running through her body.

She ran her hand over her stomach once more only for her eyes to widen in shock and fear. Her hand and her stomach had a blue glow surrounding it.

"Oh. My. God!" she whispered out, emphasising each word.

She was pregnant!
