Another huge thank you to everyone for reading this… I really, really appreciate it… please do review after you've read ok? Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated…

To poetwriter: my dear Ado, I know you can read me very well… but it's still fun when I don't tell you some stuff about this, haha… happy reading this one…

I'm sorry I forgot to write this from the start. All the main Roswell characters Max, Liz, Isabel, Alex, Tess, Michael, Maria, Kyle, Max's parents & Liz's parents DO NOT belong to me. They belong to the TV network that created them.

Naima Lucas (one of Liz's 2 best friends), Josh (Max's minder), Jen Daye (Max's ex-girlfriend before Liz), Jack Harding Evans (Max's son with Tess), Sarah Hailer (one of Max's co-stars in the movie Carpool) and Kevin Yard (the other co-star in the movie Carpool) are my characters.

Chapter 11

Liz didn't mean for Josh and Michael to find out that she was pregnant. She took them all (Michael, Maria, Naima & Josh) upstairs into the Parkers' apartment above the Crashdown Café. "Ok, now that I got all of you up here, it's more private. Josh, Michael, I never meant for you guys to find out that I was pregnant," Liz said to Josh and Michael. "Did you two know about this all along?" Michael asked Naima and Maria. Both of them nodded. "So, I guess this baby belongs to Max?" Josh questioned Liz. Liz looked down quietly and nodded. "You never told him about it?" Josh asked quietly. "No. I was afraid. I was afraid he might not want to be with me and just break my heart. And I know how hard it is for him to juggle his career and Jack, so I also didn't wanna add any more pressure on him," Liz said softly. Josh stared at Liz, and marveled at the sight of this small, petite girl who single-handedly carried what she thought would be a burden on Max.

"Please, all I ask is that the both of you keep this a secret. Don't let Max know that I'm having his baby, please," Liz pleaded with Michael and Josh. "Hey, we understand." Michael said. "Yeah, don't worry about it, ok? You have our word on this," Josh said, then reached out and to hug Liz. Michael too, gave Liz a hug. "So, can we ask, is it a girl or boy?" Michael asked. "It's a girl," Naima said, smiling. "Way cool," Josh commented. The 5 of them then hung out together in the Parkers' apartment, chatting and enjoying the night they had together as a big group of friends.

A few months passed and it was now February. Isabel and Alex were happily settled in New York, where Alex had moved into the Evans' home on Isabel's request. Isabel and Alex had already planned their wedding, which was to be held in June, on the same day they met in Greener a year ago. Isabel and Alex were at a bridal shop choosing Isabel's gown and Alex's tux. "Honey, you look absolutely gorgeous in that dress," Alex commented when Isabel walked out wearing a halter wedding gown. Isabel took one look in the mirror. "Thanks honey. I love it too. I think I'll take this one," Isabel said. "Fabulous. You'll look like a princess on our wedding day," Alex said as he walked over to give Isabel a kiss. "Ok, let's go find your tux to fit this gown," Isabel said, happily leading Alex to a rack full of tuxedos. "Izzy, are you here?" Max said, as he opened the door to the bridal shop ten minutes later. Isabel sent Alex into the fitting room with 3 tuxedos then walked out front to meet her brother and her nephew. "Hey, I'm here. Hi Jack, are you gonna give Aunt Izzy a little kiss?" Isabel smiled as her nephew gave her a little peck on her cheek. "So why did you want me to come here and bring Jack as well?" Max asked. "That's because I want my little brother to look good at the wedding so go get a new tux. I can't stand the way you always wear your old one," Isabel laughed. "And find a small identical one for Jack too, Alex & I want him to be the little kid walking down the aisle," Isabel said. "Ok Izzy. Daddy's gonna take you to find something really nice, ok?" Max asked his son. Jack smiled and nodded. Max smiled back, as he went to choose identical tuxedos for him and his son.

Two weeks later in Roswell, Naima received a call from Liz in the middle of the day. "Girl, can you get back to Roswell like right now?" Liz asked. "Why? Is everything ok, Liz? You sound like you're in pain," Naima said, worried that something might have gone wrong with Liz. "Urm, I think I'm in labor and it hurts like crap," Liz said over the phone. "Ok, you hang on, I'll be right there." Maria was the next one to get a call on her phone. "Liz, are you alright?" Maria said over the phone to her best friend. "(ouch) No, can you come over right now? I think I'm in labor," Liz said to Maria. "Hold on girlfriend, I'll be right over." Maria said. She explained to her boss what was going on and ran four blocks down to the Crashdown Café.

Maria took Liz to the hospital immediately and called Naima while she was driving Liz. "Naima? We're on our way to the hospital. Find the maternity ward and ask for Liz when you get there, ok?" Maria said anxiously. "Yeah, sure. I'm going as fast as I can," Naima said, driving as fast as she could. A half hour later, Naima reached the hospital and found Liz in one of the rooms of the maternity ward, with Maria right next to her. "Hey, so what did the doctor say?" Naima asked. "He said I'm 2 cm dilated and so another 8 cm to go," Liz complained. "Well, we'll be here no matter how long it takes. I mean, Maria and I are officially the baby's godmothers, right?" Naima asked, happy to know that Liz was ok. Liz laughed and said, "Of course you both are!"

A few hours later,

"Come on Liz. Just a few more pushes and the baby would be out," Naima said, holding Liz's hand as Liz gave birth. "Come on Liz, you can do it. We're right here with you," Maria said, trying to assure Liz. Liz took a deep breath and pushed. "Alright Liz, just one more big push and the baby would be out," the doctor said to her. "I can't do it. I'm too tired," Liz said, running out of breath as the hours of labor had worn her out. "Come on Liz, you're the strongest girl I know," Naima said. "Yeah, come on, do this for Max," Maria added. Liz took another deep breath and screamed as she gave a big push.

"It's a girl. A beautiful little girl," the doctor said, announcing that the baby had been born. "She's a big one too, weighing 7 and one-third pounds," the doctor told them. He then handed the baby to Naima, who handed the baby to Liz. "She's so beautiful," Maria gushed. "Yeah, she looks exactly like you except that she has Max's green eyes," Naima said. "She's beautiful huh?" Liz said, smiling at her two best friends and looking down at the baby girl in her arms. "Hey sweetheart, how you doing?" Liz asked the baby as she held the baby's little hand. "What should I call her?" Liz asked her best friends. "I don't know," Maria said. "What would you want to call her?" Naima asked Liz. Liz thought for a moment, and then smiled. "The perfect name for her would be a mix-up of my 2 best friends' first names: Nairia, Nairia Parker Evans." "You sure you want to put Max's last name in her name?" Naima asked. "Yeah, she needs to know that her dad's last name is Evans," Liz said. "Nairia. A perfect name for a perfect girl," Maria commented, as the 3 girls looked down lovingly at the little baby in Liz's arms.

The next day, Naima and Maria went to visit Liz and little Nairia in the hospital. "Hey guys," Liz said, happy to see them. "Hey, we got stuff for our little god-daughter," Maria said, as she and Naima took out the baby stuff they bought for Nairia. "Wow, you two are really enjoying baby shopping huh?" Liz said, laughing. "Well, Nairia's the only baby we can actually shop for," Naima said. "Oh, Alex sent me his and Isabel's wedding invitation, complete with three plane tickets today." "He wants us all to go?" Maria asked, happy about Alex & Isabel's upcoming wedding. "Yeah, he wants us all to be there," Naima said. "I don't know. I mean, what am I going to say to Max?" Liz said, worried about seeing Max again at the wedding. "Well, you have us so we're just going to stick together, ok? After all, we wanna be there for Alex & Isabel," Maria said. "I guess so, I just gotta get this little girl a passport," Liz said, as she led Naima and Maria hold their little god-daughter.
