June finally came through and everyon was getting ready to move back to Roswell for th Summer.
"Maria slow down would you", said Michael looking at his fiance that was packing thier bags.
She was 9 months pregnant and ready to pop literally. "But we have to fix this since we are driving to Roswell instad of flying" said Maria rolling her pretty hazel green eyes. Michael sighed. This woman was so stubborn.
"Owww", said Maria.
"What what is it?", asked Michael looking paniced.
"Lower back pains", said MAria rubbing her back trying ot soothe it.
"Its time soon", said Liz walking into thier bedroom with her one month old son.
"How do you know that?", asked Maria.
"The back pains have been happening often right?", asked Liz kissing her son'd forehead.
"Yeah its been getting bad", said Maria gritting her teeth in pain.
"Maria are you okay?", asked Ava coming into Maria and Michael's bedroom.
"No I think I'm in labor", said MAria.
Michael gasped.
"Alright calm down Michael, let me go get Serena alright, get Maria on the bed", said Ava who was trying to calm down her brother that looked like he was on the verge of panicking.
Michael tried to calm down but it didn't help. Michael did as he was told though. He picked up his pregnant girl and laid her down gently on the bed. She was in so much pain. He wished he could help her.
"Michael", yelled Maria gritting her teeth.
"Alright Maria calm down and do your breathing exercises", said Liz still holding Xander. maria nodded her head and started breathing deeply.
"Oh NO", said MAria.
"What what's wrong", said a panicked Michael.
"My water just broke", said Maria looking at Michael.
"You are in labor", siad Serena coming into the room.
"Alright let's remove those", said Serena pointing to Maria underpants.
Michael nodded his head.
"Let's see if your dilated 10 centimeters yet", said Serena.
Maria nodded her head and held on to Michael's hand.
"What's going on?", asked MAx coming into the room.
"Maria's in labor", answered Serena from between Maria's legs.
Max nodded his head and backed out of the room. Liz just giggled her husband still was scared of things like labor and femine products.
"Your husband wants to be a doctor and can't see laobr, don't exactly get that concept", said Serena laughing.
"Ahhhh", yelled MAria yelling.
"Michael you are never touching me again", yelled Maria squeezing his hand to the point of breaking it.
"I hate you I hate you", yelled Maria.
"They always say that", said Serena checking Maria.
Maria just glared at her and Serena held her hand up in surrender. Liz smiled and took Xander out of the room into her kitchen to get a bottle of milk. SHe laughed when she heard Maria hurling insults at Michael and telling him that she would chop off the important parts of his anatomy.
"Hey", said Kyle coming into the kitchen followed by Zan.
The both winced at Maria yelling.
"Damn she got pipes on her", said Zan kissing Liz on the forehead and also kissing his nephrew while going to the fridge to get some juice.
They all made sure to empty it out since they would be gone for three months. Liz sat down and began feeind her son. She loved him so much. She had never felt this complete before. With Max and her son she felt like she could take on the world. But she still had nagging thoughts of fear where she knew that her happiness would somehow come to an end soon. They never had long periods of happiness without something happening to disurpt that. She knew that Serena has also been having this thoughts too and they were jsut waiting for the other shoe to drop literally. Isabel walked in then.
"Hey Izzy", said Liz smiling at her sister in law.
They have gotten closer lately. Isabel always helped her with Xander and made sure that she got enough sleep. She became the sister she wanted. They had really especiually of what could have happened with Kivar last month. Liz still shuddered at that event. Max held her some nights when she would have nightmares about Kivar coming to take Xander. She shuddered. She felt Zan wrap an amr around her.
"No one will touch him, we won't let that happen", said Zan looking at Liz.
Liz nodded her head and smiled.
"I know I'm just scared you know I want this so much and i can't let anyone take it from me", said Liz with tears in her eyes.
Zan nodded his head.
"Like Max would let that happen", said Kyle rolling his eyes.
"Yeah I wouldn't", said Max walking into the kitchen.
"How is Maria doing?", asked Kyle.
"Still screaming at Michael", said Max smiling.
He walked over to his wife and son who was drinking his bottle of millk contently.
"In know Max it's just I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop", said Liz trying ot get her emothions in check.
"I know but what these past two years have taught us is that we stronger together", said Isabel.
Liz nodded her head.
"Why are we not more concerned with Maria being in Labor?", asked Kyle.
"I don't know but I think it had something to do with that fact that this is too normal for us, I mean Maria's labor is normal so we don't panic", said Zan.
"Yeah I know its been a while since we had normal", said Kyle. "God Michael get away from me", yelled Maria.
"God that woman", said Michael walking into the kitchen.
HIs hiar was in a mess and his face looked flushed.
"She actually blamed me for getting her pregnant, like she wasn't willing", muttered Michael, while the rest fo them laughed at him.
"How's she doing?", asked Zan.
"She's still screaming so that means that she is doing fine", said Kyle.
Isabel hit him for that comment.
"Where's Alex?", asked Ava coming into the kitchen.
"At work, he has been working like crazy so we could go back home this summer, he has to fix all the computers in the school for the incoming school year in the fall", said Isabel.
She missed her husband laely. He has been so busy. She sighed. Her married ife has been blissful with the exception of regular alieness. Her and ALx has been married for a little more than a year and Isabel has to admit it but married life was definetly the way to go. She looked at both of her brothers and smiled. They all were married and were happy in thier own right. Thy were just waiting for Michael/Maria and of course Ava/Kyle to get married.
"Michael get in here", yelled Serena from the other room.
Michael ran as fast as he could. Isabel laughed. Even though Michael complained about Maria's whacky moods he still was excited about being a father. Isabel knew that he would be a great one.
"Michael get this thing out of me", yelled Maria.
Isabel bust out laughing at that.
"Only Maria", said Kyle lauging.
Then they heard it. The sweet sounds of a little girl crying and taking her first breath. They all walked to the bedroom to see Serena cleaning baby Michaela.
"Well Maria here is the newest memember of the family, Michaela Guiern, welcome to the world", said Serena placing the baby wrapped up in a yellow blanket and placing her on her mother's stomach.
Maria smiled with tears in her eyes.
"My baby she is so beautiful, Michael", said Maria looking at her fiance.
She smiled when she saw tears in hs eyes. He was sobbing quietyl next to her.
"Want to hold your daughter?", asked Maria.
"Yeah I mean yeah", said Michael wiping his eyes.
Maria handed the baby over and her breath caught in her throat when the baby open her pretty hazel eyes that she got her mother and smiled at her father. Yup she was a daddy's girl.
"Happy Birthday, my baby girl", said Michael.
He looked up at his family and smiled.
"Wow here I am missing all the action", said Alex walking into the room then.
"Hey Alex", said Zan looking at MIchael holding MIchaela in his arms.
Michael seemed to be in awe of his daughter.
"Let's leave you guys alone", said Max hugging his wife and looking at his son.
He understood where Michael was coming from.
"So Alex did you finish?", asked Serena washing her hands.
"Yeah I did so I could take the three months off", said Alex sitting down and pulling his wife unto his lap.
"Hey baby", said Alex kissing her neck.
he knew that he hasn't been around lately and he would make that up to her this summer.
"Fine I missed you", said Isabel leaning her head back to look at him.
"I know but now we have all the time in the world to be together", said Alex.
isabel nodded her head and kissed his jaw.
"Hey Doctor Evans, you did a great job", said Max smiling at Serena.
"Thanks but I think I have loss some hearing in my left ear from all that screaming that Maria did", said Serena laughing.
Zan hugged her tightly.
"What?", asked Serena looking into his amber eyes.
"Just love you that's all", said Zan.
"Love you too", said Serena.
"You guys done packing yet?", asked Alex playing with Isabel's hair.
"Yeah I'm almost down, I just got to dismantle the Xander crib", said Max.
They all sat down and talked about thier year.
"Can you beleive this year?", asked Ava sipping her orange juice.
"Yeah I know but we made it that's what counts plus we have two additional memebers of the family too", said Isabel getting up and hugging her brother.
She turned around and kissed Liz's cheecks as well as her nephrew's. Xander just looked at her and smiled. Isabel got misty eyed at that. Her maternal wants were kicking in but Alex and she had decided that she would wait until she had finish college and graduate school first.
"Alright let's go see the newst memeber of the family", said Kyle.
They all followed to see Maria rocking her baby girl and Michael smiling at them.
"Hey you guys", said Kyle walking into the room.
"Well look at that, Michael is going to be fighting off the boys huh", said Kyle picking up Michaela.
"Hey I'm your uncle Kyle and Im going to teach you everyhing about sports and of course about burping becasue everyone needs to know about that", said Kyle kissing her forehead.
Michaela opened her eyes and smiled.
"Yeah that's it", said Kyle.
"You are not teaching my kid about burping Mr. Valenti", said Maria rolling her eyes.
"Alright my turn", said Zan.
Kyle handed her over.
"Oh don't you look pretty, you look nothing like MIchael", said Zan smirking at Michael who just glared.
"Me and my brothers are going to protect you I promise and kick any boy's ass that comes within five feet of you", said Zan smiling.
"Zan!", said Serena rolling her eyes.
She took Michaela from his hands. She smiled with tears in her eyes.
"Maria she is beautiful", said Serena smiling at that little girl. '
"She is a strong one too", said Serena smiling when Michaela grabbed her finger.
Max came over next.
"Hey how you doing my niece, you're right Zan she looks nothing like Michael", said Max laughing.
Liz came up next and stood next to Max looking at that little girl.
"You protected us Michaela you are strong like your mother my best friend over there, you going to give us trouble little girl I know it", said Liz smiling.
"I know my Xander over here is going to protect you, so no worries", said Liz smiling.
"Now my turn", said Ava.
"hey munchkin, you are so pretty, you do look like my brother, you have his wild hair and gentle soul, you look your momma too, her pretty face and warm soul", said Ava smiling.
Maria and MIchael smiled at her.
"My turn", said Alex.
"Hey Happy Birthday baby Guiern, wow I never thought I would see the day that there would be a baby Guiern, but I know your see that man over there", said Alex pointing to Michael.
"He will protect you and love you with his whole heart you know, just like he always does", said Alex kissing Michaela's forehead. "Oh did I tell you I have known your mother since 5th grade, she is my best-friend and my heart so take care of her for me", said Alex passing Michaela to Isabel.
"Wow aren't you a beautiful one, aren't you, welcome to the world, are family might be crazy sometimes but I wouldn't want to be in any other family because we love with our whole heart, here let me take you to mom", said Isabel placing MIchaela in Maria's waiting arms.
"She is beautiful Maria, but I guess we already knew that", said Isabel.
"Yeah we do don't we?", asked Maria.
The two weeks has passed since Michaela has been born and Maria has been enjoying the role of mother. Everyday they went to the CrashDown and hung out with the others. It seemed that everyone from their highschool knew about Liz and Maria's motherhood, for the most part most were supportive and others showed thier dislike of Maria and Liz's choice to have a baby so young.
"What is it their buisness how I live my life", said an angry Maria changing Michaela's diaper in the break room.
Liz understood too. Most people were kind and accepted Xander but some said some harsh remarks.
"I know but don't pay any attention to them, tis is our life and I think we are doing great", said Liz holding up her son.
"Let's go ot Diane's house she wants to see Xander", said Liz kissing her giggling son's forehead.
Maria nodded her head but she was still angry at these people that dare mess with her daughter and family. They walked out of the breakroom and into the restaurant.
"hey dad I'm going to Diane's house she wants to see Xander", said Liz.
Jeff nodded his ehad and kissed her cheeks.
"Alright honey, have a good time, hey Xander, can you say Grandpa, Grandpa", said Jeff tickling his grandson.
Xander laughed his baby smile at Jeff and grabbed his nose. Jeff looked at Michaela and smiled too. He considered Maria a daughter too and smiled at Michaela.
"She is going to break hearts when she grows up, all those boys are going to be after her", said Jeff jokily.
"Oh no there are not, if they don't want to get hurt", said Michael coming into the CrashDown.
Maria rolled her eyes at that.
"Hey baby", said Michael kissing Maria then his daughter.
"hey we are going over to your mom's house, she wants to see her grandbabies", said Maria cradling MIchaela in her arms.
She tensed up when she heard her old classmates talking to the side of her.
"Look at them knocked up already I should have known, always in the Eraser room", said the blond that used to hang out with Pam Troy.
"Maybe if you didn't want to use it all the time with your STd infected boyfriend you would know I was in there", replied Maria looking at the blond girl.
that shut up the girl quickly.
"i thought so", said MAria walking out of the CrashDown.
Michael glared at the girl and sighed. He knew how Maria hated being talked badly about.
"The nerve of that girl", said Maria driving to Diane's house.
"Maria just ignore them thier nothing and won't be nothing while you and Michael have a family going to have great careers and be happy", said Liz.
Maria sighed at that.
"Yeah you are right I just hate when someone says anything bad about my family you know, MIchaela and Michael mean the world to me as well as your guys and no one should be messing with us, especially that girl Shelby Wilkins", said Maria.
"Well you did tell her she had STD so you pretty much embarassed her enough", said Liz giggling.
Maria looked at Liz and both bust out laughing at that. Their kids in the car seats in the back just looked at thier mothers laughing and basically gave what would be considered a baby shrug. They got their in ten mintues. They rang the doorbell and Diane opened.
"Ohhh my grandbabies come in", said Diane gestering them inside.
Isabel walked in then.
"Hey you guys", said Isabel hugging them.
"I can't stand them talking bad about like this you know", said Maria a while later sitting down in the Evan's kitchen sipping on some coffee.
"I know Maria but don't pay them any attention", said Diane.
"I know, I'll try", said Maria.
Diane loved her grandbabies plus she was already spoiling them like crazy.
"Ohh I got them some toys", said Diane running out to get them.
The girls just shook their heads. Diane loved to go crazy.
"SHe loves this grandma thing doesn't she?", asked Isabel.
"Oh yeah", siad MAria giggling.
