Chapter 2: And Baby Makes Three
When Maria and Liz finally got back to the table, Kyle and Michael were telling stupid jokes to each other. Isabel was laughing at them, while Max wasn't paying any attention to them. Liz and Maria sat down next to them quietly.
After a few seconds of silence, Maria finally spoke up and sad, "I'm so sorry Michael for the freak out earlier, it's just my nerves you know how I can get sometime right?"
He reached across the table and took her hand in his and then he said, "I do know you, Maria, this is why I know that something's off with you. So please tell me what's wrong with you?"
At times it was hard enough to get Michael to pay attention on a normal day but now that she had his full attention, she wished that she didn't. Maria just couldn't tell him like this the timing was off.
She pulled her hand away and said, "Nothing's wrong, god just give me a break, can't I just be having a bad day? Just give it a rest, you know what I'm not that hungry anymore, I'll see you all later in the room."
Maria stormed out of the diner leaving Michael speechless for once. He knew that something was going on with Maria and he also knew that whatever it was Liz knew about it. He was going to get to the bottom of this one way or another. They had all been through hell and back this past year and they thought the worst was over but they were dead wrong. Everyone thought that Tess was gone, they all thought she died in the explosion that took out the FBI special unit but they were wrong because she survived the explosion. Tess was alive but she had no memories of her life and her powers were gone.
