A/N: I told you it would all be ok :D. Please read and review, and don't be mad at me, but I found it important to the story. Thanks for sticking with the story.

Chapter 17

"No, wake up! Please Liz, wake up! LIZ!" Valenti had let go of the towel and was shaking her, knowing that it wasn't going to help.

Nancy picked up her grandson. His cries almost sounded like cries of pain, not of hunger or tiredness. She wondered quietly if he knew somehow that is mother was gone.

Jeff put his arms around his wife and grandson, looking at his only daughter's dead body, wondering if it was all a dream.

Isabel cried silent tears, never letting go of her sister-in-law's hand. All she could think of was that it couldn't be true. Liz really couldn't be dead.

The group was only a block away from the Crash Down. They turned the corner to go to the Crash Down when Max let out a scream and fell to the ground. "NOOOO!" he yelled. Michael ran over to him, and kneeled down beside him.

"MAX! MAX! What's wrong?" He said trying to help him off the ground.

"Liz." Max said in a weak voice. "Something's not right." He had a painful feeling in his gut, and his heart, that it was to late.

Michael shook his head. "Max, come on you have to get up. You have to get up for Liz." He pulled Max's arm until he went with him, picking up speed along the way.

Max ran through the doors that used to be filled with glass, and now were just empty frames. It was a mess inside, and the agents were still knocked out on the ground. Max didn't stop to look around, he ran through the back door, and up the stairs. There was blood everywhere, and the more he saw the more he panicked. He ran into Liz's bedroom, and stopped in his tracks at everybody crying over Liz's body. "NO!" he yelled out, running over and falling on the floor next to her.

"Max, we tried everything." Valenti said, staring at his blood stained hands. Max ran his hands over her body, and once he felt was wrong, tried to use his healing powers to get rid of the bullet, but it wasn't working.

"OMG!" Maria gasped when she, Michael, Kyle, and Jesse, and her mom entered the room. She felt weak like she was going to faint. She grabbed on to Michael, and he held her closely.

Jesse walked over to a crying Isabel, putting his arm around her. Almost as soon as he touched her she fell into him. He held her looking at Liz. He couldn't help but feel guilty. It was his fault that she was dead. All his, and now he was responsible for Sawyer not having a mom.

Max could feel the tears run down his face, but he wasn't going to give up. She couldn't be dead.

"Max, stop she is gone. You can't bring her back." Jeff was pulling on Max's arms. He knew that it was too late.

"No!" Max said jerking his arms back. He put his hands back over Liz, but after about a minute he dropped his hands, and let out a yell. "Liz!" he cried before dropping his head next to her limp body. He didn't know how long he sat there when he heard someone say his name.

"Max, I think your son needs you." It was like someone had whipped him back into reality. He brought his head up, and turned around to see Nancy holding his son out for him to take. Almost as soon as he took him Sawyer stopped fussing. Max smiled at him, and looked back at Liz. He knew he had to get up and finish the fight, for Liz because that was what she wanted, and for Sawyer because he needed to live a normal life.

"I love you." He whispered to her, before kissing her on the forehead. He moved Sawyer so he could stroke Liz's face, before saying goodbye. He brought his hand down over her wound.

Max took a deep breath, as he felt a strong amount of power flow from his hands. "Max what's going on?" Kyle asked, stepping up.

"I don't know." He said through clenched teeth. He felt this whole other energy force, when he realized that it was coming from Sawyer. He looked down at his son, and saw him staring up at him. He looked back and Liz, and saw the blood disappear, and her shirt mend.

Liz sat up with a gasp of air. She held her chest, and looked at the shocked faces standing around her. She looked up at Max and stared into his eyes for the longest time. She had been dead. She knew she had been dead. She had died, but if she was dead. How was she here looking into all of their eyes.

"OMG Liz." Maria threw herself at Liz. She didn't know how she was still there, and she didn't care the fact was she was.

Max stood there holding their son, looking at his wife. It was so weird, it was like Sawyer combined his powers with his and it was enough to bring her back. He had never felt anything like that in his whole entire life. "Max." he heard her say, and that was all it took. He sat on the bed next to her, and she wrapped her arms around his body.

Liz sat there, being held by her husband, and somehow she knew that even though she had just died, that it was alright now. She also had a weird feeling that he had help. She had never seen him heal the dead before. He couldn't heal Alex when he died. "Max? Did Sawyer help you?" she asked bringing her head up to look at her husband.

Max looked down at their again sleeping son. "I think he did." He said smiling looking back up at Liz. "I guess he wasn't ready to lose his mom." Liz looked into his eyes, and brought her hands up to his face and gave him a long kiss, and after she was done kissing her husband she brought her head down to kiss the top of her son's head.

"Liz are you ok?" she turned around at the sound of Amy's voice and went to give her a hug.

"I'm ok now." She said, hugging the woman that was like her second mother. After that she turned to hug her mom and dad.

Nancy had her hands over her mouth. She was trying not break down, but it was all so much. She wasn't used to the whole alien thing yet, and the fact that she just saw her daughter die, and now she was standing in front of her. "Mom, mom it's ok. I am going to be ok." Nancy sniffed and nodded her head. She really did look alright, in fact she looked better then when she first got there.

"I know, I know. I just, I lost you, and now you have come back to me." Liz wrapped her arms around her mom, and gave her a kiss on the cheek, giving her dad a kiss and a hug shortly after.

"What now?" Jeff said with his arm around his wife, while Liz went to go take Sawyer. She turned around to answer her father when she heard a loud crash coming from downstairs.

"We fight." She said looking at Max and the others.
