Chapter 58:
Max leaned on his elbows looking down at the love of his life. How did he get so lucky. He was together with her, expecting their first child, they were going to be married after graduation, everything was going good in his life. Max brushed the hair that fell in her eyes. To him she was an angel. He couldn't wait to make her his wife. Max was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice Liz wake up until he felt her soft lips brush his.
"Good Morning, penny for your thoughts, Mr. Evans?", asked Liz looking up at him with her doe eyes.
"Good Morning I was thinking how my life keeps getting better, and that's because of you. I mean I get a brother, a whole group of friends that support me, and the best girl I could ask for and she is going to be my wife", said Max leaning down to kiss her again.
"Do I know this girl?", asked Liz smiling.
"Umm yeah I think you do", said Max smiling at the love of his life.
"I could get used to this", said Liz.
"Used to what?", asked Max.
"Waking up next to you, it's amazing", said Liz with love in her eyes.
Max kissed her again and crawled down to her stomach lifting up her t-shirt. Liz and Him had establish a ritual of speaking to the baby. Max kissed her still flat stomach and began singing softly to her tummy. He remembered this song by Creed about the lead singer and his child called "With Arms Wide Open", and he began singing the lyrics softly.
"Well I just heard the news today, seems like my life is going to change, I close my eyes begin to pray then tears of joy stream down my face, With arms wide open, under the sunlight welcome to the place I'll show you everything, with arms wide open, with arms wide open", sang Max.
Liz had tears streaming down her face. She loved when he sang to the baby. He was so loving and beautiful. Max looked up at her and got scared at her tears.
"What's wrong Liz?", asked Max kissing her forehead.
"Your so beautiful, the baby loves you singing to him and love it to Max", said an emotional Liz.
Max blushed.
"I just wanted to be connected to him", said Max sheepishly.
Liz nodded her head and brought Max head down to her stomach again where they sang together. "With Arms wide Open With Arms Wide Open". Liz played the hair on the nape of Max's neck that had a tendency to curl.
"He is going to look so much like you, I'm going have to keep these girls from calling my house", said Liz jokily.
Max just laughed.
"If you say so", said Max.
He loved her and his son so much. He couldn't lose them, if he did he would die. That thought brought tears to his eyes.
"Max, baby, what's wrong?", asked Liz when she felt tears on her stomach.
"I can't lose you", said Max trying to keep the tears from falling.
"You can't lose me, we belong together understand, I told this family doesn't work without you, that means you are stuck with me, how does that sound", said Liz still playing with his hair.
"That's sounds good", said Max kissing her stomach again.
"I love you Max", said Liz.
"I love too my queen", said Max.
"Let's get dressed", said Liz trying to get up.
"The guys are coming over to discuss the birthday party soon Max", said Liz when he didn't make a move to get up.
Max groaned and got off of her. They got dressed and went downstairs to already see the gang sitting down at their usual booth with the exception of Serena. They were all surprised to see Max there except Isabel. Her parents explained and let her stay at Alex's too. Max explained and Michael was in a word shock. Isabel got to work and told her of her plans and how she called Kal and Kim and that they would be there that morning of Serena's birthday. Zan was half asleep on the table.
"Hey bro sorry we boring you, this is for your girl you know", said Maria.
Zan looked at her and smirk.
"You didn't", said Max.
"I did", said Zan.
Max bust out laughing.
"Didn't what?", asked Michael.
Zan looked at Max and nodded and told them everything that happened the night before. Alex looked at them and bust out laughing. He knew that his sister was not happy.
"You know you have a very angry alien on your hands don't you, She was so mad this morning that she called into work to see if they were short handed, she rather work, she slammed every door in the house", said Michael laughing.
Isabel was laughing too. Zan could be evil when he wanted to be.
"Serena is mad", said Ava also laughing while she sipped her orange juice.
Kyle couldn't even contain his laughter that he fell out of seat.
"It's not funny", said Liz but she also had a smile on her face.
"Serena is cock blocking", said Zan.
"I'm just teasing she knows I love her and she isn't ready I get that, but not wanting to hang with me is wrong, she's my girlfriend, I would have helped with her problem", said Zan smirking.
"Anyway as interesting as my sister's sex life is, I got some news", said Michael.
"The painting I gave the art gallery in Santa Fe sold they are going to send me a check", said Michael.
Maria squealed loudly hugging her boyfriend.
"Did you tell mom?", asked Zan.
"Yup I did, she was so excited, I never saw I woman jump so high off the ground before", said Michael while Maria planted small kisses all over his face.
He had a big smile on his face. Everyone congradulated him and they hung out together until Ava and Maria had to get to work.
Meanwhile at Roswell Memorial a certain alien was furious.
"That jerk", mumbled Serena.
"Oh he wants to play I'll show him how hard I can play", said Serena to herself.
She walked into the room of 5 year old Peter.
"Hey Pete, how are you doing", said Serena. Peter had cancer and he was suffering badly some days but not today.
He was acting like his excited self.
"Hey Serena, I'm watching cartoons do you want to watch with me", said Peter with a pout that had all the nurses turning into jelly.
"Sure I have a break now let me get my lunch, so I could eat here with you", said Serena walking back to her locker and getting her turkey and Swiss sandwich when she was hit with another fever.
Maybe it wasn't a good idea to come to work today. She shouldn't be getting horny in front of a kid. She stood there for 10 minutes until is went away. She walked into the room to find Peter eating his lunch and she sat next to his bed and smiled when she walked into the room.
"What took you so long?", asked Peter.
"I had to go to the little girl's room, let's make a toast", said Serena taking her soda bottle and Peter holding up his juice cup.
"What do we toast to?", asked Peter.
"To life and having fun", said Serena smiling at the little boy.
She loved him so much already. She always made sure he was comfortable. His parents were killed in a car accident. He was in foster care. She hoped he could hold on until she was legal so she could adopt him. She wanted him. She talked to Phillip already and he said it would be hard since he was sick all the time and that Serena wasn't married but he would try. Serena asked her father and Kal didn't like the idea but Kim did and they were trying.
"I heard something today", said Peter after a while.
"What?", asked Serena.
"Your parents want to adopt me", said Peter.
"Yeah they do, I asked them because you a special little boy and deserve a family", said Serena.
Peter smiled at her and said, "Alright I get you as a sister", said Peter.
"Yup, how does that sound?", asked Serena.
"It sounds good", said Peter.
Serena smiled and thought to herself that she could maybe get Zan to heal him. They got to talking about cartoons until Serena's lunch break was over.
"I love you kid", said Serena.
"I love you too Rena", said a sleepy Peter.
She kissed his forehead and smiled. He didn't know that Kal and Kim Langely had already signed papers for him to be adopted. Serena would have adopted him herself but she knew she wouldn't pass inspection so to speak. Kim and Kal were going to tell him about the whole alien thing, he was 5 years old he was more open then most adults set in their ways. Serena went back to work and unknown to her Zan was in the hospital healing her future brother. Peter was told by Zan about being alien and that his new parents would be too but he couldn't say anything. The boy understood and he was happy that he was getting parents. Kim and Kal surprised everyone by coming in a day earlier. Kim wanted to meet her son. When Peter met Kim he knew that this was his mother and he was happy. Kal was reserved at first but when he saw the little boy he felt it in his bones that he was a good kid. Kal and Kim stayed at the hospital with Zan while he healed Peter. All this went on but Serena didn't know. She was going to find out at her surprise party though.
Serena got home at 3:30 that afternoon exhausted and horny. She was tired of this shit and she knew Zna was playing with her. Well he had another thing coming if he thought he could play with her. Serena sighed and knew that the act she was putting on wasn't fooling no-one. She would jump his bones now if she could. Al least with each passing day the fevers got less, the first night was always the hardest, plus Zan wasn't around that helped too. She didn't know what to do about the whole sex thing. She knew that her body was ready but she hated to admit to even herself that she was scared that after he slept with her he would leave her like she left him. It was always her biggest fear that he would somehow realized that he wasn't in love with her and that there was someone better out there. She knew that was the reason that she didn't sleep with him yet. She was afraid to tell him this though. God what was she going to do. Serena thought hard about this while she soaked in the tub. She felt in her bones, she knew she was ready. "Watch out Zan I'm coming for you", said Serena out loud.
