Chapter 10
Liz was woken up to kicking in her stomach. She put her hand down on her round belly and whispers. "Claudia, sweetie, mommy has a big day today and she needs her sleep." Claudia starts kicking again. By this time Liz is awake and can't get back to sleep. Then she has an idea. She starts very lightly toughing Max's chest with her fingertips. She looks up at him and he is still asleep. So, she gives him little kisses around his bare chest. He moves a little and says "Liz". She smiles and while still giving him little kisses on his chest, she slides her hand down lower down his body and started rubbing him through his boxers. That woke him up. "Liz…what are you…doing?"
(Smiling and looking up at him) "Having fun before we have to leave for graduation."
"Liz, I don't know if we should." (Putting his hand on her rounded belly)
(Resting her hand on his chest) "Max, you won't hurt the baby or me."
"Are you sure?" Max just wanted to be careful and he didn't want to do anything that might hurt or endanger Liz or their daughter. While nodding and smiling she said, "Yes…I'm sure."
Max lifted her chin up and kissed her passionately.
About an hour and a half later Liz was laying her head on Max's chest, just listening to his heartbeat. "Liz, sweetie, why don't you go get in the shower while I go and make breakfast."
"Ok."
She gave him quick kiss, and then he got up and went around to the other side of the bed and helped Liz get out of bed. She smiled, than kissed him. "Thanks, it seems I can't get up anymore without help."
"Sweetie, its only for a little while longer." (Putting his hand on her belly)
"I know and I can't wait."
While Liz was eating breakfast she was thinking about graduation. And wondered if her parents are going to come. Well, she hopes that they come. Max walked into the kitchen and he noticed that she look like she was starring into space. So, he came up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders. And said softly, "Hey."
"Oh hey."
Max leaned down and kissed her on the neck a few times. Than Max noticed that Liz hadn't eaten much. And sits down next to her and holds her hands. "Sweetheart, you haven't eaten much breakfast."
"Oh" (Looking down at her plate)
"Sweetie, are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm just thinking too much."
"About your parents?"
Max knew that the one thing that Liz wants more than anything, right now was to have her parents back in her life again and that means that they would go to their daughter's graduation.
"Yeah, I really hope that they come today."
"I hope so too."
She smiled and said,"Thanks. We better get going we are supposed to be at the school at nine."
