Chapter 10
Liz stated in awe at the chaos in the courtroom after Tess Harding's confession. She had to take deep breaths or she would pass out. That was a guarantee.
"Order", yelled the judge.
"Order", yelled the judge again until everyone sat down.
Liz felt Max slip his hand through hers but other than that she felt numb. She felt betrayed. Not only had Tess Harding hurt her son but she had hurt her too. Tess Harding was pure evil in her book. Liz got up slowly and walked to the front of the courtroom.
She faced Mr. Harding and asked, "Is that true?".
Mr. Harding's expression was all she needed to know that yes indeed the devil's spawn was her sister. Liz nodded her head before walking towards Max that had a look of concern on his face.
"That's right bitch you are the whore your mother was", yelled Tess.
Liz's back went ridge with hate and anger. She pivoted on her feet and stood to face Tess Harding. The woman that even though biologically related to her was nothing like her.
"Umm I see Tess, my mother the whore, I guess she must have been something because obviously your father couldn't get enough, but I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with you. I feel sorry for you, you have no one, Tess you will end up alone and I don't even feel sad for you. You call me a whore, but who has been selling her pussy around here Tess, the only one I know of is Pam Troy, you and your father. I could give a rat's ass about your father's affair, it doesn't matter to me. You don't matter to me. You are nothing and after this trial is over I won't even remember what you look like. DO you know why? I'm getting married to the man of my dreams, I have a son to raise, and then I have to raise the child that is in my womb. So you see Tess because of your actions to destroy Max Evans, you made me the happiest woman alive. So Thanks Tess for making all my dreams come true", said Liz walking up to her and smiling.
Tess glared but what Liz did next shocked her. Liz lifted up her fist and brought it down hard at her face. Tess's head flew back in pain.
"That's for hurting Aidan, come near me or my family again, Tess I'll make you bleed", said Liz walking out of the courtroom.
Tess looked at her in shock.
"Oh little Lizzie, finally got balls huh, but what you failed to see is that you will always be second best, you are nto Aidan's mother even with how hard you may think that and you had my leftovers in Max", sneered Tess.
What she failed to realize was when she was carrying on like that she was killing her case.
"Oh I'm never second best, there had to be a first, Max is in love with me only me, Aidan is my son, mine no one else, I didn't replace his mother because he never had one to begin with. You abandoned your child, for your lesbian lover. You are sick and disgusting, Tess. Throughout of this you have not once said that you love Aidan or wanted him back, all you cared about was your revenge on Max for something he didn't do to you. Pam Troy accused this man of rape, you are sick both of you make me sick, how could you hurt an innocent man hurt an innocent child", yelled Liz with Tess in her eyes.
The whole courtroom looked at her. Max walked towards her but she held up her hand telling him that she had to finish this. Max nodded his head in understanding. He wanted this over so that him and Liz could go and enjoy their lives together. He was surprised that the judge allowed this in her courtroom but he wasn't going to say anything. Liz shifted her attention to Pam troy.
"He didn't want you, you knew that, you always did. You knew that he wasn't going to give you a commitment. While I don't agree with how Max used to live his life, he never lies. He has always been honest and I know he told you the truth. He told you he didn't want to be with you for more than a night. You let you petty pride almost destroy a man, how do you look at yourself in the mirror", said Liz.
Pam Troy lowered her head. She knew all that Liz said was right. Max had told her that whatever they did was for only one night. He wasn't interested in nothing but sex with her. Liz shifted her attention to Mr. Harding that was looking down at his clasped hands.
"Look at Me", yelled Liz making him snap his head up.
He voice carried throughout the courtroom like a whip snapping back.
"You are not my father, Jeff Parker is my father, he was there for me throughout everything. He read me bedtime stories, he kissed me when I would cry, he was there to harass my first date, he was there when I got accepted to college, he was there to hug me when I was nominated Valedictorian of my high school. He was there when I told him about Max and how Aidan was to be his grandson. He accepted it all because he loves me. He never felt that he was ashamed of me, and trust me I have made my share of mistakes. I will never be your daughter. I don't know you and the little that I know I know I don't want to know you. The way you raised Tess thank god you abandoned me because I would hate to think that I would be like her. I feel sorry for you though because after all those years trying to hide your affairs, it's now being broadcasted on national TV. Your wife is watching, I feel for her though to be stuck with two evil animals like you and that bitch over there", said Liz.
Mr. Harding just stared at her.
"You are nothing to me and never will be", said Liz growling.
Mr. Harding nodded his head and frowned sadly. Liz looked around and saw Tess glaring at her.
"I don't want to be here anymore Max, this case is done, we all know that. Judge thank you for giving me the time to vent out my anger. You didn't have to but you did, so thank you", said Liz.
Liz walked towards Max.
"Get Aidan", whispered Liz.
Max nodded his head walking towards the judge's cambers to get his son. Everyone in the courtroom was silent. They have never seen a court case quite like this before.
"Mommy", yelled Aidian running towards her.
Liz smiled and bent down to pick up her little man.
"Let's go home", said Liz looking at her family.
Max took her hand kissing it and he and Liz walked out with the rest of them following out. Maria tailed out last but turned around at the last minute walking up to Tess and looked at her.
"You nasty bitch, I always wondered why your teeth was so yellow, now I know, its because you had your face in Pam Troy's herpes invested cunt, happy std's, hope the itch doesn't bother you too much", smiled Maria before walking out.
The judge looked at her in shock before laughing out loud.
4 Months Later……..
"Aidan baby did you pick up your toys?", asked Liz waddling in.
She was almost 8 months pregnant and walking around was hard enough. These past 4 months have been great to Liz and Max. Max finished his first semester in medical school and now they would be spending Christmas vacation together. Liz had decided to go to college via the internet so she wouldn't be that behind. She was taking this year as well as the next year to take care of her children. The best part of course was the result of the trial. Both Pam Troy and Tess Harding was served with 15 years each in prison with no chance for parole. Maria didn't think it was enough and she made it her job to campaign for them to get more. They knew not to let their guards down because the threat that Mr. Harding gave them scared them. He promise to appeal the judge's ruling and get them for ruining his life and career.
"Yes momma, I did", said Aidan smiling at her from his position on the floor in his room. He ran up to her hugging her stomach.
"Hey baby, do you want to visit Aunt Maria and the babies?", asked Liz.
"Yay", yelled Aidan smiling and going to his closet to get his shoes.
Maria had delivered a baby girl and a baby boy. Serena delivered her baby last week a beautiful little girl. It was the first time that any one had seen Michael and Zan cry over anything. Especially Zan, he had built up this stonewall for so long after his parents died that he hardly ever did something like cry but when he saw his little girl for the first time he bawled like a baby. He was trying to keep it together but Serena had a tough labor. It was a touch an go there for a while but both mother and child made it out okay, but for some reason Zna made it his mission to make sure that they were always protected.
"Nana Nancy", yelled Aidan when she spotted Liz's mother.
"Oh Aidan give me some sugar", said Nancy hugging Aidan with all her might.
She was happy when her daughter called. She knew that Liz was upset with them when they didn't tell her that she was adopted but she knew now that Liz had forgiven them when she invited them to visit with her family. Nancy closed her eyes remembering the firs time that she met Max's family but especially when she met Aidan. It was a little over two weeks after the trial of Tess Harding.
Flashback…….
"Mom, Dad", said Liz spying her parents at the airport.
She ran to them and threw herself in her parents arms. Nancy Parker had tears in her eyes. She may not have giving birth to Liz but she was her daughter. Max smiled at his girlfriend and her parents.
He held Aidan and smiled, "Let's go met Liz's mom and dad okay", said Max.
Aidan nodded his head.
"Well who do we have here", said Nancy looking at Max and his son.
Liz told them all about it, and they saw a lot on the televised court case.
"Hi", said Aidan holding out his hand with a big smiling on his face.
"Mommy say you is her mommy, so you gots to be my gamma", said Aidan smiling.
"Nows I got two gammas, and two's ganpas", said Aidan smiling and planting a noisy kiss on her cheeks.
Nancy had tears in her eyes. He was so adorable. She understood the love her daughter had for this little boy. Jeff looked at the little boy and smiled.
"I got presents", said Jeff. Max groaned.
"Oh no not you too, between my parents and you too, Aidan won't have any space to put these toys", said Max rolling her eyes.
Nancy and Jeff laughed at this before giving him and hug shocking Max but he smiled anyway.
End of Flashback…..
"These kids are driving me up the wall", said Maria.
"Only good thing that came from this is the big breasts I got", said Maria while they all sat at dinner.
Both Jeff and Phillip choked on their wine while listening to Maria. The rest of them laughed.
"Momma what's breasts?", asked Aidan.
"Maria", said Liz glaring.
"What?", asked Maria smirking.
"Anyway Michael is the lazy one I have to get up when the babies are crying, I mean you would think the lazy bum would help", said Maria.
Michael just shook his head.
"I help", said Michael looking offended.
"Oh oh", said Alex.
They knew Maria was going to have some comment.
"Help the only way you help is by sucking on my baby milk makers", said Maria.
Liz shook her head while looking at everyone. Her whole family was there.
"Kyle mind your business", said Maria.
Kyle shook his head while looking at Ava that was feeding their son. She gave birth a week before Serena to a beautiful baby boy. He was so proud. His father was here as well as Amy Deluca Maria's mother who had the same need to voice her opinions as her mother.
"Michael are you not satisfying my daughter sexually?", asked Amy.
Now it was Max that chocked on his wine.
"No mom Michael is still good at that", said Maria smirking.
Jim Valenti smiled at Amy Deluca.
Jim's POV
She's cute, I love a fiesty woman. She is open and honest, you don't find that anymore.
"Well Jim since you love staring at me, tell me a little about yourself", said Amy making Jim blush.
Kyle laughed out loud at his father. After his mother had abandoned them Jim kind of went through the motions he hardly smiled. He was very lonely Kyle knew that. He was happy that Amy made him smile.
"Oh go mom, Kyle where did you get your looks from because it wasn't from your dad, because he is a hottie", said Maria smiling.
The phone rang then and Max went to get it.
"Well Maria you are one of kind", said Nancy smiling.
Jeff joined in laughing.
"Liz phone, she says her name is Rosie Vasquez", said Max holding out the phone.
Jeff and Nancy went paled at that.
"Mom, daddy?", asked Liz looking at them confused.
"Do you know who that is?", asked Liz.
Nancy nodded her head and cleared her throat.
"Lizzie, Rosie Vasquez is your birth mother", said Jeff Parker.
Liz looked at the phone with her heart pounding and reached for the phone in Max's hands.
