I wanted to warn you, don't judge Liz to harshly for her reaction, it's completely different from Tess from the series.

Chapter 22: Truths Revealed

She was pregnant!

"Oh no!" Liz whispered out, she closed her eyes and pinched herself; she opened her eyes once more and placed her hand on her stomach only for the glow to start up once more. "This is impossible!" Liz hissed out as tears ran down her face, she opened the mirror and pulled out her birth control packet and saw that she hadn't missed a day. "I can't be pregnant, we both used protection!" she whispered out as she slumped to the floor, her tears flooding out from her eyes as fear ran through her body at the thought of Max's reaction.

Max was lying on the bed with a silly grin on his face; he had made love to Liz Parker, his dream girl, for the first time and it was explosive.

He sat up when he realised that Liz was taking a long time in the bathroom, he walked over to the door and knocked on it slightly.

"Liz, are you okay?" Max asked.

"I'll be out in a minute." Liz called back; Max sensed that her voice was wavering and tearful.

"Liz, are you sure that you are okay?" Max asked. Liz came out and smiled up at Max.

"I'm fine Max, let's go to sleep." Liz said as she walked over to the bed and went under the covers. Max stripped down to his boxers before slipping in his bed, confused but shrugged it off.

"Max, is Liz okay?" Tess asked Max and he shrugged. They were in the Crashdown, watching Liz working; it was the next morning.

"She's been quiet and she keeps saying that everything's fine." Max explained as he picked at his food as Tess raised an eyebrow.

"Fine? Max, she's jumpy." Tess exclaimed and Max sighed.

"I know, but what can I do?" Max asked. "You know what's she's like." Max muttered

"Do you want me to have a talk with her?" Tess asked and Max shook his head.

"No, she'll come to me when she is ready." Max stated

"Let's just hope that it isn't anything serious." Tess stated and Max nodded.

"You know, you never did tell me why you let me go." Max stated as he looked at Tess, wondering. Tess sighed as she weighed the pros and cons and decided to go ahead with it, Liz was still safe and Tess wasn't even in love with Max.

"Okay but it might sound weird so you just have to trust me." Tess warned and Max nodded, his curiosity piped. "I had a visitor Max, it was you from the future." Tess stated.

"Wait a minute, time travelling is impossible." Max injected.

"You used the Granolith to come back in time to get me to let you go." Tess explained.

"Why? What happened that made me go back in time?" Max asked.

"It turned out that in the other time life, Liz and I had an argument that caused her to leave, we don't know what it was about and it caused her to leave Roswell…for good." Tess explained. "Because of that, you and Isabel began looking for her and you found her."

"What? Tess, tell me." Max said.

"Your enemies had found her, they tortured her Max." Tess stated with tears filling her eyes.

"How?" Max asked.

"They raped her." Tess whispered and Max closed his eyes as his heart broke.

""But she was alright, right?" Max asked.

"You were too late, they killed her. Because she died, the four square didn't work and Earth was taken over. Isabel was killed two weeks and Michael was killed half an hour before you came." Tess stated and sighed. "Max, you saw what happened to Liz because of your bond." Max let out a heartbroken groan, he let his head fall into his hands.

"Liz." He whispered brokenly and Tess reached over and took his hand, Max looked up at her.

"She's fine Max, she's right here with us and alive." Tess stated, Max nodded.

"You gave me up to keep Liz alive, how can I thank you?" Max asked and Tess grinned as she sat back.

"Trust me, seeing Liz alive is enough and our friendship too." Tess stated as she picked up her drink then winked at Max. "Beside you saved my life, I saved your love's life. Consider us as even." Max chuckled.

Liz came over to them with the notepad and a pencil.

"Hey, do you want anything else?" Liz asked.

"Sure, can I get a refill of Pepsi Max and a piece of Amy's strawberry cake?" Tess asked and Liz flushed slightly at the name of strawberry and took the glass.

"Sure thing, Max?" Max grinned up at her slyly.

"An alien blast?" Max asked and Liz rolled her eyes as she smiled.

"Cheeky." Liz stated as she bent down and kissed him. Tess snickered at the display in front her before rolling her eyes. In reality, she was happy to see Max and Liz being playful and alive.

Liz pulled away and smirked at Max's dazed look. "One alien blast coming right up." Liz stated as she walked off, causing Tess to laugh outright, startling Max out of his trance.

"Cherry coke please!" he called out after Liz's giggling retreating back.

"What are you like?" Tess asked in between giggles. Max just scratched the back of his head, embarrassed and he shrugged.

"Hello people." Kyle greeted as he saw down next to Max and stole a fry off Tess's plate, which caused Tess to smack his hand, causing him to drop the fry back on her plate.

"Get your own." Tess stated.

"Come on Tess, you never eat it all." Kyle complained.

"Well, I'm today, I'm famished." Tess admitted.

"I wonder why." Liz stated as she came over with the cups and a plate.

"Had a busy night." Tess remarked, innocently and Liz caught on, she sat down next to Tess.

"You didn't?" Liz asked; Tess blushed slightly as she smiled. "Oh my god how was it for you?"

"For me?" Tess asked, confused and it hit her. "You too?"

"Oh yeah, so tell me." Liz pleaded and Tess giggled.

"I'll tell you if you tell me." Tess compromised and Liz nodded. "It was fantastic, mind-blowing." Tess stated.

"Better than chocolate?" Liz asked with a knowing smile and Tess smirked.

"Way better." Tess agreed and both girls laughed.

"And what are you girls talking about?" Kyle asked.

"Nothing to do with you." Tess and Liz remarked before turning back to each other.

"Was it romantic?" Liz asked.

"He came over last night and we did it in my bedroom." Tess sighed before turning to Liz. "You?"

"Observatory." Liz stated and Max caught on.

"Girls…" Max started but Tess waved a hand at him, telling him to be quiet.

"Why there?" Tess asked.

"He wanted to be closer to his planet." Liz stated and Tess smirked.

"And he wanted to get closer to you?" Tess asked, Max blushed.

"Mutual agreement." Was all Liz replied and Tess laughed as she turned back to her food while a customer walked in the Crashdown and Liz walked up to them.

"Is it just me or is Liz acting weird?" Kyle asked.

"Not you." Max and Tess stated.

"What's up with her?" Kyle asked and they shook their heads.

"We don't know, I have tried to get her to talk to me but she keeps brushing me off and giving me 'I'm fine' smile which is driving me up the wall as I know she isn't fine." Max complained and Kyle sighed.

"I guess all we can say is wait for her to come to you to tell you what is wrong with her." Kyle stated and Max sighed.

"I know; it's the waiting part I have problems with." Max muttered, provoking Kyle and Tess into giving him sympathetic looks.

Maria followed Liz into the backroom, she had noticed that she seemed quiet and wanted to find out what was going on with her, she stepped in and saw that Liz had her back to her, her shoulders shaking as she tried to stifled her cries.

"Liz, what's wrong with you sweetie?" Maria asked Liz. Liz turned to face Maria and wiped away her tears.

"Max and I had sex." Liz whispered to Maria and Maria looked at her wide-eyed. "And I'm pregnant Maria."

"Oh my god, are you sure?" Maria asked, Liz looked around before unbuttoning her uniform at the stomach and placed her palm over it, Maria watched as a blue glow showed up. "Oh lord."

"What am I going to do Maria? How can I tell Max?" Liz whispered as tears filled her eyes once more.

"You haven't told him." Maria asked and Liz shook her head.

"I'm scared what he might say." Liz whispered and Maria took Liz into her arms and hugged her tight.

"Max will be shocked but he will stand by you Liz, no matter what. He loves you." Maria whispered into her ear and Liz nodded, she pulled away and looked at Maria.

"You know what's worst." Liz asked and Maria shook her head.

"We both used protection and they didn't even work." Liz whispered and Maria looked at her wide eye in shocked.

"Oh boy." Maria whispered and Liz nodded in agreed then cried once more, Maria let out a sympathy sigh as she took Liz into her arms, rocking her backward and forward, trying to sooth the girl.

"So, what are you going to do?" Maria asked, Maria had clocked the two of them out and they both in Liz's bedroom, sitting on her bed.

"I don't know, I mean, I'm seventeen and I'm pregnant." Liz whispered.

"I mean about the baby." Maria stated and Liz looked up at her.

"There are three options, adoption, abortion and keep the baby." Liz whispered. "We can't give it up for adoption, not due to our inheritance and I can't kill it, no matter what, it's still a baby, a living thing and I can't just kill it." Liz exclaimed, tears running down her face.

Maria pulled her into a hug.

"I'll be right here by your side, once everyone knows the truth you can count on us to be there for you." Maria promised and Liz smiled weakly.

"I wish I could be sure of that." Liz whispered and Maria pulled away and looked into Liz's eyes before cupping Liz's face.

"Liz, Max loves you and once he finds out the baby, I'm not going to say that he won't be shocked or even angry but it won't be at you. He will be furious with himself for not making sure that the condom was working properly and once he's over the shock, he will want the baby and he will love it." Maria promised. Liz nodded, thanking Maria for being there for her as they both hugged once more.

Max and Michael were at the basketball court, playing basketball until they took a break.

"What are you so happy about?" Michael asked and Max blushed.

"Erm, Liz and I took the next step." Max stated and Michael caught on.

"You did the deed." Michael asked and Max smiled while nodded, blushing. "How was it?" he asked.

"Great, fantastic, mind-blowing." Max listed off and Michael laughed.

"You know, I should be furious considering she is my sister and all but I'm really happy for you two." Michael stated and Max smiled.

"Thanks Michael, so, how are things going between you and Maria?" Max asked.

"We're fine, she still trying to get over Alex's death." Michael stated and Max nodded.

"Isabel's the same, she is stunned with the decoded destiny book but she is in denial about Alex's death." Max explained.

"Was it that good?" Michael asked and Max smiled.

"It was the best night of my life." Max stated and they both smiled before standing up once more. "Are you going to play or what?" Michael asked as he bounced the ball to Max, Max caught it and the pair of them started a game of basketball.

Liz was walking toward the park, she sighed when she saw the swing and headed toward it, she sat on it and started swinging away, wondering what she was going to do. She placed her hand on her stomach and rubbed it slightly, smiling slightly when she felt the tingle of the glow on her stomach. She looked up and found herself staring right into amber eyes of her other half.

Max had felt the hair on his neck rising and he looked around; he looked toward the swings and saw Liz sitting on them. She looked up and they both connected eyes.

"Liz is here, I need to talk to her Michael so I'll see you later?" Max stated; Michael nodded as Max walked over to Liz. "Hey." Max greeted, Liz nodded, and Max sighed at her refusal to talk to him. "Liz, what is going on with you?" Max asked, Liz sighed as she took Max's hand and led him over to the picnic bench.

She looked down at their intertwined hands before looking up into his expecting eyes.

"I'm pregnant Max." Liz whispered, tears forming in her eyes as she waited for Max's reaction.
