Chapter 2

About Two Weeks After Arriving in Vermont

Liz starts feeling very sick. Her aunt told her that she had the flu and not to worry. But Liz didn't think that she just had the flu. One morning Liz woke up and she was till feeling sick so she just laid there in bed. And she put her hand on her stomach and that is when she started having flashes of her and Max together and then the night about two weeks ago. Then she saw a child. She removed her hand away quickly "OMG, I'm pregnant?" She put her hand back on her stomach and all she saw this time was the child that she is carrying. "I'm pregnant," she whispered"

That day she didn't have school. And her aunt was working so she sat down and wrote a letter to Max.

Back in Roswell and A Week Later

It had been three weeks since Liz left and Max was still angry with her father for doing this. He missed Liz so much and it even hurt sometimes. And at night for about the last week and a half his has been having dreams of Liz and what was even weirder was, that she was always had a little girl with her, in every dream.

Max got home from working at the UFO Center all day. He spent most of the time working to stay busy, but it was hard working across the street from the Crashdown and not thinking of Liz. Anyway, he had gotten the mail on his way to his apartment and starts going through it. "Bill, bill, trash, bill, trash, trash, a letter." The return address was on the back of the envelope, but Max knew whom it was from. He went inside and sat down and tossed the rest of the mail on the table. He opened the letter and started reading it.

Dear Max,

I miss you so much. I guess that I'm doing ok here. My aunt is being really great to me, but I want to go home. There is something that I have to tell you, I wish that I was telling you this in person and not in a letter, but that's the only way that I can talk to you with out my parents finding out. Anyway, the thing that I have to tell you is this I'm pregnant. My parents already know, but I doubt that they have told anyone down here yet. So, far nothing unusual has happened. I am three weeks, so I'm getting nauseous sometimes, but my aunt says that that is normal. I haven't told Maria yet; I am going to talk tomorrow, so by the time you get this she will already know. I'm going to tell her not to tell you or anyone else because I wanted you to hear or, in this case, read it, from me. Don't worry I'm fine. There is one thing that I have to ask you, should I go see a doctor or not? Max, I'm scared of doing this by myself, I want you with me. I don't care where we are as long as we are together. I got a P.O. Box without my aunt finding out, so that you can write to me. It is P.O. Box 1603, Clearwater, VT 30121. Please, try not to worry too much Max.

I love you always,

Liz Parker

Max sighs and puts the letter down. He picks up the phone and calls his sister.

"Hello."

"Is, can you come to the apartment; there is something that you need to know."

"Sure Max. Is everything all right?"

"Can you just come to the apartment I'll explain what is going on then ok?"

"Ok Max, I'll be right over."

"Thanks, Is." Max hangs up the phone and calls next door to tell Michael and Maria to come over.

About an Hour Later

Everyone is at Max's apartment. And everyone, except Maria, was wondering what is going on. Max is pacing and Michael is getting inpatient.

"So what's going on?" – Michael

"I got a letter from Liz today." – Max

"Oh that's great, how is Liz? Wait you told all of us to come over here because you got a letter from Liz." – Michael. Maria hits him and says, "Listen."

"What did she say?" – Isabel

"She's pregnant." – Max

"What!" Michael & Isabel said together

"So what happens now?" – Michael

"I'm going to Vermont. I have to talk to her, in person." – Max

After Michael & Maria left, Max was sitting on the couch with his face in his hands. Isabel sat down next to him.

"Max."

"I can't lose her, Is. I've already lost one child and I am not going to lose Liz or this new baby.

"I know. Max, are you going to be all right?"

"Yeah I'll be fine. I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No it's ok, Is. I need to talk to Liz alone. But thank you."

"What's your plan, Max?"

"To bring her home."
