"Mom"
"Hi Liz. Max."
"I'm so glad that you came. (Going up and hugging her) Where's dad?"
"He didn't come."
"Oh, I'm glad that you came."
"I just wanted to come and say congratulations to both of you and that I'm so happy for you two."
"Thanks Mom." (Liz starts crying and goes to her and hugs her.)
"I better get back home. Bye honey."
"Bye, Mom." Max comes up and hugs her to him.
"Sssshhh. Liz it's okay. At least she came."
"Yeah." (Still sobbing)
Max pulled away a little and lifted up her chin and kissed her. "Feel better?"
"Yeah a little."
"Okay. Lets go find our friends and my parents."
"Okay."
They found Michael, Maria, and Isabel talking with the Evans' a few minutes later and walked up to them. "Hey guys."
Diane went up to Max and Liz and hugged them. "Congratulations, you two."
"Thanks, Mom."
"Thank you, Mrs. Evans"
"Liz, I told you that you could call me mom."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's okay it took me a while to call my mother-in-law mom, too."
"So, tonight we would like all of you to come to a graduation party we are having for all of you." – Phillip
"Sure what time?" – Max
"About Six?" – Phillip
"Okay we'll be there. We better get going we'll see all of you tonight. Bye."
"Bye Max. Bye Liz." – Isabel
Max and Liz went home. On the way home Liz laid her head down in Max's lap and fell asleep. When they got home, Max said, "Sweetheart, we're home."
"Already." (Sitting up)
"Yeah." (Giving her a kiss)
Max gets out of the car and goes around to the other side to help Liz out. Then they go inside.
