Chapter 4: Morning

The Next Morning-

Everyone had decided to stay at Isabel's house for the night. So now Liz, Maria, and Isabel are in the kitchen making breakfast while everybody else is still asleep.

"So you are actually going to be Zan's adoptive mother?" Maria asked Liz.

"Yeah. Why?" Liz asked. "You think I can't raise a kid."

"What I think Maria is getting at is: Since you are now Zan's adoptive mother, is Max going to pop the question?" Isabel explained.

"I don't know." Liz answered.

"Okay, but if he did ask would you say yes?"

"Well, we're still in high school," Liz said "but of course I would say yes."

Just then Michael walked into the kitchen and pulled Maria into his arms. This caused Maria to giggle and spill the pancake batter in the sink.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry you guys." Maria said. "I guess it is breakfast at the café." Maria looked over at Liz who smiled.

"Lets go wake everyone up and I want to take a shower." Liz said.

Within an hour everyone was up and they went over to the café to get some breakfast. Some how Isabel, Jesse, Maria, Michael, Kyle, Liz, Max, and Zan had managed to fit in one van that Jesse had found and bought. Now they were all sitting at the counter of Liz's parent's café the Crash Down Café. All were hungry and ready to eat.

Liz's father came down the stairs that led to the apartment up stairs were Liz and her family lived. When he saw all the people down stairs he smiled and went to get a pad to write down their orders.

"Morning Sweetie," Liz's father said to his daughter. "You're up early. How did you sleep through all of that military ruckus that was going on last night? I didn't hear a peep from you last night."

"Oh you know me, Dad, I'm a heavy sleeper." Liz said as she kissed her father on the cheek.

"Well, what would ya'll like for breakfast?" Mr. Parker asked the group.

"I think we would all like some pancakes and bacon." Max said as he put Zan's baby carrier up on the counter.

"Well, who is this young man?" Mr. Parker asked. "Is this a baby cousin? It is so nice to see young people help their elders with things like watching the kids."

"Well, I do what I can for family." Max said smiling.

"Okay pancakes and bacon, Michael come on you're going to help me with the order." Mr. Parker said to Michael.

"Yes sir." Michael said as he got up and put on an apron to go cook the food.

Liz smiled as she looked at all of her friends sitting at the counter, her dad in the back with Michael, Michael who was getting burned with the bacon grease, Max sitting next to her, and Zan. This was her family. Some might call them a weird family, but aren't all families weird to some extent? Hers was just more weird than average.

She smiled down at baby Zan who was making spit bubbles. Now Liz would be playing a new role in another person's life: Mom. She had to admit that she was scared, but she was also excited and knew that everything was going to be all right in the end. Come what may, her family would stick together and protect one another.

Forever and for always.

A/N: Hey ya'll! Sorry I haven't been writing for a while. I know it has been a long time! Sorry! I hope you liked this last chapter. I am thinking about writing a sequel to this. What do you think? I will also start writing The Real Royal Four again. And I have a new story for Buffy fans. It is called 'Story Twist'. I hope you like it!
