Chapter 15
Liz had always dreamed of being proposed to ever since she was young. She never dreamed that that day would come so soon. She looked at Jack, waving and smiling so widely at her from the top of the slide. She looked at Nairia, sleeping soundly in the baby pram. Then she looked at Max. His eyes were ever so earnest, ever so full of love for her. She'd never imagine that she would ever get a chance to experience such a love in her life. A tear fell down her cheek. She was so touched. "Yes," Liz said. "Yes, I'll marry you." Max couldn't smile more at this point of time. He reached out and held Liz, and then he gave her a big kiss. He wiped the tears off her face with his hand, as she rested her head on his shoulder.
Max whipped out a red velvet covered box from his jacket and opened it. He took out the ring and took Liz's hand. "Oh my, Max, it's absolutely gorgeous!" Liz exclaimed when she saw the ring. "That means from now on, forevermore, you will be Mrs. Elizabeth Evans-Parker," Max said, as he smiled at her. "I like that," Liz said, as she leaned her head on his shoulder. Max looked at her and kissed her forehead. Jack came running towards them. "Daddy, what are you doing with Lizzie?" Jack asked, as he stared up at the two of them. "Jack, daddy's going to marry Liz," Max told his son. Jack stared at him, looking confused. "I don't think he's old enough to understand yet," Liz said softly as she smiled at Jack. "Yeah, I think he's a little too young," Max replied. "Jack, you're going to get a new mummy: Lizzie." Jack stopped to think for a while, and then he broke into a huge smile. "Really?" Jack asked. "Really." Max said. Jack smiled broadly at Liz. "Lizzie, mummy." Jack said, as he lifted his hands towards Liz, wanting her to carry him. Liz smiled as she lifted Jack onto her laps. "Yes Jack, I'll be your new mummy from now on," Liz said, smiling at her new 'son.'
Max took Liz, Nairia and Jack back to the hotel. Liz wanted to tell Maria and Naima the good news about her and Max. The four of them reached the lobby when Maria, Michael, Naima and Josh popped out of the lift together. "Hey, we haven't seen you since yesterday," Naima said, as she looked at Liz, Max and the 2 kids. "Hey, why not we all go for lunch together? It's on me," Max said. "Then I wouldn't say no for the world, brother," Michael joked as all of them headed to the restaurant at the hotel.
"Well, I gotta tell you guys something," Liz announced to everyone after they were all settled down. Josh and Naima were playing with Nairia while Jack was having fun with Michael and Maria. "What is it? I know it's gonna be good," Maria said, giving Liz a cheeky smile. "Well, I'm urm," Liz was a little lost for words. She just held up her hand which had the ring Max gave her just now. "Oh my goodness, you mean," Josh said, shocked. "You guys are really going to get married?" Naima exclaimed. "Yeah," Max said, as he looked at Liz lovingly. "I can't wait," Max said. "This is way too cool man. We gotta celebrate," Michael said, as the 6 of them with the 2 kids celebrated with a little party of 8 by the poolside after lunch.
That night, Max stayed over at the hotel with Liz. They put Nairia to sleep in the baby cot the hotel rented. They got an extra bed for Jack to stay over. He had totally accepted Liz and was calling her "mummy" all the time. "So what are we gonna do? I mean, we're getting married," Liz said. "Where are we gonna do the whole ceremony and where are we gonna live?" Max smiled at Liz. She'd grown so much in the past year. "Well, I've been thinking. Jack and I will move to Roswell and we'll have the wedding there," Max told her. "Are you serious? I mean, won't it be hard for Jack to move?" Liz asked, concerned about the little boy. "He's a good boy, he'll get used to it." Max said. "Don't worry about anything, my dear wife." Liz relaxed, and Max held her as they both fell asleep in each others' arms.
