Yes, I'm back on time to post on Saturday like normal. I have a long part with more holiday fun to enjoy. I'm glad you all seemed to enjoy that last part. Sorry, there wasn't a part for me to post last time. My Christmas wasn't so hot, but oh well. It's a new year now so I'm hoping for better things to come. Because of that I was too upset to write anything, until I could figure out how to deal. I did and I'm back with a new part for you all to read and hopefully enjoy. I just have to say that reading the feedback each week has really helped and encouraged me to continue. Thank you for your feedback, it means the world to me.

Loves Awakening Revealed II
By NorafanofMaxandLiz
Part 20
Our couples awaken Christmas morning……
“Max, wake up. Honey, wake up…Its Christmas morning, time to wake up and open presents,” Liz chirps cheerfully.
“Liz…. I just need a little more sleep. I already have the only present I’ll ever want to open,” Max says as he reaches for her.
“Fine, Max. You stay in bed and get your beauty sleep. I’ll go open all the presents. More for me that way,” Liz smiles while dashing out the bedroom and down the stairs.
“Hey! At least some of them are mine. Wait for me Liz!” Max shouts in the distance. He gets up at a dead run in hot pursuit of saving his presents from Liz.
“Come on, Max. I want to open the one from your mom that she gave us last night. The one gift she made us both promise not to open until this morning.”
“Whatever the lady wants, she gets,” Max smiles.
“Really, well that does give me some ideas for after opening presents. Oh and save me a red bow, okay Max.”
“Oh great, how am I supposed to concentrate on opening presents after you say something like that,” Max teases.
Liz opens the special gift from Diane and Phillip. She smiles after seeing the mistletoe. She then removes the neatly folded note and unfolds it to read the beautiful heart felt message. “Oh Max, that’s so beautiful. We have to call and thank them for the gift and the note,” Liz tearfully smiles.
“Do we have to do that right, right now? I mean we have perfectly good mistletoe here that we should use. It would be wrong to not try out their gift, right Liz?”
“You do have a compelling argument Max. I’ll make you a deal. We try out the mistletoe and then we call your parents and thank them,” Liz winks.
“Now there’s a deal I can’t refuse. You’re on, Liz.”
Much later, after properly using their mistletoe, Max and Liz emerge to get something to eat and to call his mom and dad as promised. Max and Liz return to lounge in bed leisurely munching their toast. Then they hear pounding at their front and back doors.
“I can understand someone knocking on the front door. I don’t understand why both doors are being pounded on so persistently. Should we be worried, or unconcerned that it’s probably just our family goofing around to bug us,” Max comments.
“Well, don’t look at me, Babe. Let’s get dressed and go see who it is?” Liz says.
“Hey, you said we should get dressed… why are you staring at me, Liz?”
“Aww Honey. I was just appreciating the view, sorry. I’ll get dressed, I promise, Max.”
“Good, it’s about time. My turn to watch and appreciate the view,” Max’s smile fades and becomes one of longing.
“Max, don’t look at me that way. We have some people very anxious to get our attention and answer the doors. So, you’ll just have to hold that thought for later, okay Babe. Max, I said later that’s not forever. Just later after we get rid of whoever is down stairs banging on the doors like a maniac. Who do we know that could be that irritating, annoying, and persistent,” Liz speculates….
“Michael and Kyle,” Liz and Max say in unison.
“This had better be good. They keep interrupting our time like this we might have to implement a two warning, then blast rule. Sound good to you Liz?” Max asks only halfway kidding.
“Okay, but only if the first one is a low level warning blast then we aim higher after that. Only to warn not to maim, then I’m okay with that.”
“Let’s see what our terrible twosome wants this morning. You take the front door and I’ll take the back door, Liz.” Liz nods, and answers the front door.
“Good morning Michael and Kyle. What brings you here to interrupt us…? Did you sense we were experiencing new levels of untold bliss and ecstasy and hurried over to interrupt us? Before you answer that, we think you should know we’ve made an executive decision, haven’t we Max?” Liz smiles.
“Yes, as leaders we hereby order that there will be two warnings then we aim blasts fired at those who interrupt us just for the heck of it. So, this had better be good. Why are you risking us blasting you standing here on our front and back doorstep? You had better talk fast, I feel a little like blasting something this morning,” Max states.
“We…Uh wanted to beat Alex and Iz over here. Maria and Mystic are parking the car. We wanted to be the first and we’d like to think the best uncles to bring over the presents for Christmas morning. Kyle, will you do the honors?” Kyle disappears for a few curious long moments then reappears with an appliance dolly that is loaded up with several large presents wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper stacked one on top of each other. There are so many gifts that all you can see of Kyle is his arms and legs straining to get momentum to help move this heavy and awkward load.
“Why did I have to be the one to bring this in to the house? Liz, I think you should fire a warning blast at Michael. He’s not helping me,” Kyle says innocently then turns to stick his tongue out at Michael.
“Okay now boys, don’t make me blast either of you. After all, this is Christmas morning. Come on in… Is one of those big ones for me, huh? Pretty please, you can tell me,” Liz dances around like an excited kid ready to tear into Christmas presents.
Michael and Kyle exchange a worried look. “Umm… Liz, don’t be mad but none of these are for you. We brought over gifts for the twins,” Michael and Kyle beam proudly. “See we are really the best uncles,” Michael smiles. “Oh, Maria and Mystic are bringing in the gifts for you and Max,” Michael adds.
“And we deliver,” quips Kyle. Kyle hears what must be presumably Alex’s car pulling up outside. Kyle looks at Michael and says, “Yes! We beat them here, nice driving Michael. High five, buddy!” Liz and Max look at each other puzzled by what these two are up to, but they are about to find out.
“Hey, how did you guys beat us here? You took that one short cut and used your powers to change the traffic light in town, didn’t you?” Alex asks glaring at Michael and Kyle who both are looking anywhere but at Alex.
“Us use our powers to change the traffic lights? I didn’t do that, did you Michael?” Kyle asks innocently playing dumb and passing the buck to Michael.
“Michael, did you?” Alex asks.
“Hey, it doesn’t matter now. Besides it’s the holidays and we have to be nice to family. Here let me help you with getting the presents inside,” Michael evasively answers and comments.
“Are you going to fess up and tell us or not, brother dear?” Isabel asks ominously.
“Umm…Isabel you look great is that new dress. Red is your color. Come on let’s go inside and see what Santa brought everyone,” Michael sheepishly grins.
“Maria, do you claim knowing Michael right now?” Isabel asks.
“I seem to remember something about him being my bonded mate; but other than that, no. How about you, do you recognize him? Oh I know, he’s been abducted by Roswell aliens and they probed his mind and left quickly,” jokes Maria.
“Yeah, he probably scared them off. No wonder they never came back,” Isabel teases.
“Hey! Now just for that, Santa’s putting coal in both of your stockings, ladies. I have it on good authority that Santa doesn’t like it when sisters and bonded mates gang up on yours truly,” Michael replies.
“See what happens, Isabel? You let him wear a Santa suit once and it goes to his alien brain,” Maria laughs.
“Okay everybody stop it. Do not make Max and me referee,” Liz adds.
“See what you did now. You upset Liz,” Alex growls.
“Ah, cool it Nerd Boy,” says Michael.
“Cool it, or no hot cocoa with whipped cream for you guys,” Max warns.
“There’s hot cocoa? Nobody told me there’d be hot cocoa. Out of my way, man on a mission here,” states Alex making his way past Michael and Kyle.
Isabel announces, “I brought homemade Christmas Cookies. I had Mrs. Parker help me. She’s so great in the kitchen. Liz, your mom’s recipe is the best. I’m even proud to admit I made them. And they are edible incase your wondering.”
Michael comments, “Hot cocoa and Christmas cookies sound great. I could really use something more substantial. I’ll make us something to eat, if that’s okay. I brought all the fixings. Kyle can you help me get them out of the car please.”
Kyle replies, “Sure, I’m glad to help. Please save me some hot cocoa and cookies okay, Liz.”
“Yes of course. I’ll save some for both of you since you are going to bring us food and cook for us,” Liz answers.
Alex and Isabel make a few trips out to the car to bring in all of the presents they have for everyone. “Isabel, Honey I think we brought more than enough gifts for everyone. Why so many gifts Princess? This isn’t by chance your way of doing Christmas in a big way and out doing Michael and Kyle is it?” Alex asks patiently waiting for her reply.
Isabel takes Alex aside and answers him in whispers, “Alex! I’m surprised you’d say that. Yes, of course I’m going to be an Aunt and it’s up to me to make sure the twins get proper Christmas presents. Besides, we can’t let Michael and Kyle show us up in the spoiling the twins category and as favorite Aunt and Uncle Status, right Sweetie!” Isabel smiles innocently.
“That’s my girl! Now let’s go show Michael and Kyle how spoiling our unborn niece and nephew is done right,” Alex says with Isabel’s nod of approval.
“Okay, which one of you robbed Toys R Us,” Liz laughs eyeing all of her family suspiciously.
“What? How did you know? You haven’t even unwrapped any of them yet?” Michael says nervously.
“What Liz means is uh, guys the twins aren’t even close to being born yet and you already have all these presents for them. You do realize they will be babies, right? In case you didn’t know, newborns don’t really need all this many toys. But hey, if you want to practice spoiling our babies before you start having yours, it’s fine by us…right Liz?”
“Right! Then it will be payback on the spoiling of each others babies okay,” Liz smiles.
Liz, Max, and the rest of the gang settle around their Christmas tree and begin sorting the presents. Liz and Max quickly notice a mountain of presents all for the twins. “Liz, I think we’re going to have to see about adding on a room just for all these presents. Guys, this is really great but it’s a bit much don’t you think,” Max says. He takes Liz’s hand in his and places it on her stomach to feel their babies. The twins obliged with movement that resembles a wave under Liz’s shirt that still exposes her partially bare midriff.
“Wow! That was cool. I’ve never seen anything like that,” says Isabel all teary eyed at this revelation.
Liz looks down at her stomach and replies, “Oh that. They do that all the time now don’t they, Max?”
“Yes they do. They even manage to keep us up sometimes…for a change,” Max jokes.
“Hey! Not in front of my niece and nephew please,” says Alex.
“Too late, they know all ready,” says Max with a smile.
Liz anxious to open the presents says, “Okay I’m ready to open presents. I don’t want to wait anymore. I think I’ll expedite my opening a bit if you don’t mind.” Liz raises her hand and uses her powers to remove all the wrapping paper from her and the twin’s presents.
“Show off,” says Maria sticking her tongue out at Liz.
“Go ahead. I won’t tell if you use your powers Maria, go for it. It’s just us here. Its okay,” Liz encourages.
“Michael, that’s so sweet a hockey stick, mask, puck and gear. Mmm… isn’t it a little early for newborns to get involved in hockey, don’t you think?” Liz smiles thoughtfully.
“Girlfriend, you know I’d of stopped him but he showed me the little tiny hockey uniform and I couldn’t resist. It was too cute. I didn’t know they made them that tiny.” says Maria.
“They don’t. I sort of altered it for the twins. Hey, gotta start them out right. Nothing wrong with a good tough honest noble sport like hockey,” Michael defends with a misty look in his eyes looking at the adorable mini hockey uniforms.
Liz leans over and whispers to Max. “I bet they’ll be the next to marry and start a family.”
Max looks over at Maria staring dreamily at Michael’s gift to the twins. “I think you’re right on that. Something tells me sooner rather than later,” Max smiles taking in Michael and Maria’s reaction.
Alex and Isabel’s gifts are the next to get opened. Alex gives them a type of toy computer marketed for preschoolers, and Isabel gives the twins each dolls immaculately groomed with the perfect wardrobe. One boy doll and one girl doll.
Isabel states, “The dolls are baby safe so as not to pose any chocking hazards. I…uh made them myself,” blushes Isabel.
“They’re beautiful, thank you Iz and Alex. I see you want to get the children involved in computers early. That’s great Alex, but I think we should let them get on to solid food first though, okay. Oh come here girlfriends, group hug.” Liz hugs Isabel, Alex, and Maria in appreciation of there heartfelt gifts.
Finally, just the couple’s gifts to each other remain to be opened. Isabel opens her gift from Alex to see that it’s a note requesting her company on New Years Eve to attend a romantic dinner for two in a private dinning room that’s been reserved for just them. Alex hired a band to play all of their favorite songs. “Alex! Sweetie! This is just so incredible. Thank you! I love you Alex,” Isabel is overjoyed and moved to happy tears.
“Nice gift, Nerd Boy. Now you’re making the rest of us look bad,” Michael says with a wink.
“Ignore Michael, he’s just being Michael. Your turn Sweetie, open my gift,” beams Isabel. She watches Alex carefully open the huge box that’s rather heavy. Inside he finds a collectible for any computer geek. Steve Jobs’, founder of Apple computers, very first computer that he made.
Isabel nervously tells Alex about his gift, “Look, Steve Jobs even autographed it. And it’s made with those rare computer chips you rave about that only the first personal computers were made with. I thought you’d like a piece of computer history of your very own. Do you like it, Sweetie? I found it on ebay. Isn’t it amazing what you can find on ebay? Merry Christmas, Sweetie.”
“Isabel, I love it! I’ve always wanted to have something like this. It’s really incredible. I own this part of modern history. Let me translate to Michael, Kyle, Max, and the girls. This is like owning Terry Bradshaw’s Super bowl ring,” Alex explains. The guys all dawn a look of recognition and nods of approval. “Or, like winning a shopping spree on Rodeo Drive.” The girls beam with wide smiles.
“Oh I have just one more for you Alex. Here open this one. It’s much smaller but I think you’ll love it too,” smiles Isabel. Alex greedily opens this one to find the DVD boxed set of the Star Wars Trilogy in wide screen.
“Princess, thank you. I love everything, and I love you. Thank you. Can we sit up in bed and watch some of the trilogy later,” smiles Alex.
“We’ll see,” blushes Isabel.
“Alex and Iz that’s way too much information for me,” says Michael.
It is now Maria’s turn to open a present from Michael. “Well, it’s too small to be a new uncrimped Jetta bumper, so I’m not sure what it could be. Maybe a picture of a Jetta bumper polished to perfection. By the way Michael if it is, you are so dead and sleeping on the couch,” teases Maria. Maria carefully removes the ribbon and paper from her package revealing a box that is round. Maria’s puzzled as to what it could be. “Well, it looks like it’s not a Jetta bumper,” jokes Maria. She takes a deep breath, and opens it. Inside she finds a perfect emerald tennis bracelet with a note. The note is written on circular paper. “I always love to see the fire in your emerald green eyes. I thought this might be a safer way to do that. Sorry it’s not a Jetta bumper, but I think you’ll understand. I’ll just use my powers and fix the bumper. I promise. I hope you’re not disappointed. p.s. I love you Blondie, and you’re not done. There’s another box for you to open, Love Michael.” Maria’s eyes fill with unshed tears of happiness. She beams with a smile that is sure to melt Michael on the spot.
Maria says, “Spaceboy, look at what you made me do. I’m crying. You are so going to get it, come here you.” Maria wraps her arms around Michael and kisses him tenderly with a hint of later promises to be fulfilled. “Great, another box for me to open. Well, bring it on Spaceboy.” Michael hands her another box containing only a note. Maria notes the beautiful stationary and reads the note. “Maria, you know you’re the only one who understands me and puts up with me. I wanted to give you a perfect night. You are requested to dress formally and be ready for the limo to arrive taking us to my surprise romantic dinner for you. ps. Please say yes you’ll join me, and wear the bracelet, Love Spaceboy.”
“Wow! Look at that. Quick, get a camera somebody. It’s a Kodak moment. Maria’s speechless,” Kyle states with his sarcastic whit in full swing.
Maria hands Michael his gift, a large box. Michael being the patient person that he is, chose to use his powers like Liz to open it. Blondie, you got me that leather jacket I wanted. Oh and look it has black leather pants to wear with it. Maria! I’ll model them for you later. Thank you Blondie,” Michael says sealing his thanks with a searing kiss.
“Kyle you’re up next on the gift giving parade,” Maria urges him to begin giving his gift to Mystic.
Kyle nervously searches for his gift for Mystic and finds it holding it up triumphantly. “See I had a gift for her. Mystic, I hope you like this. It’s a two part gift. This first one is for New Year’s Eve, and the other for later in February.” Kyle hands her the gift after his nervous but sweet rambling. Mystic opens the unique wrapping paper of Santa in a football jersey, and she laughs.
Mystic says, “Kyle, what is with the notes today. I’m sensing a theme with the guys.” She opens the note that has her name written in calligraphy looking very elegant and formal. The note reads, “Mystic you are my everything. I asked God, Buddha, or whatever divine being out there to send me the perfect woman. I know he sent me you. I know I did ask that a number of times. I just didn’t know it would really happen or just how perfect you’d be. You challenge me, rival me, and support me. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Besides how many guys can say the love of their life can make the earth move. I can. Now it’s my turn to move you. Will you allow me the honor of your presence New Years Eve for a special evening? I thought it would be nice if we dressed up formally. I want this to be a special night. You deserve the best Mystic, let me give you this night. ps. I know we both aren’t used to dressing up, but this needs to be a special dinner. We’ll have to save the undressing and getting comfy part for after dessert, just kidding, Love Kyle.”
“Kyle, I’ve never done anything like that before. I’ll have to get the girls to help me find a dress and stuff. Thank you, Kyle. You’ve managed to make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Thank you, Jock Boy,” Mystic smiles with happy tears glistening in her eyes. She kisses Kyle with enough force to nearly knock him off of his feet.
“Lucky for me I will get to experience that all over again. Here’s your other gift that I know you’ll like,” Kyle smirks confidently. He hands her the gift in question, this one in a larger box. Mystic looks puzzled as what Kyle could be giving her now. Mystic opens it carefully and finds inside, tickets dated for February 6, 2005 for Super Bowl XXXIX seating at the 35 yard line.
Plus a note from Cal, “Mystic and Kyle I wanted to help you out with transportation and overnight accommodations. My personal jet is at your disposal for that date, and I own a hotel there that I’ve taken the liberty of reserving a suite for you. The hotel is close to the venue. Enjoy, kids! Uncle Cal.”
“Kyle! I love you. Jock Boy is taking me to the show! Oh yeah, Super Bowl here we come!” shouts Mystic. “Kyle, do you think the Super Bowl’s ever been invaded by aliens before,” jokes Mystic. Everyone laughs at Mystics comments.
“Whoa Dude! The Super Bowl! Kyle I’ll go out with you if you take me to the Super Bowl, but no kiss good night,” says Michael getting the better of Kyle for once.
Mystic smiles and says, “Kyle, here’s a gift for you. It’s not Super Bowl tickets, so I hope you won’t be too disappointed.” She hands him the gift and watches Kyle unwrap it anxiously like a five year old. He tears the wrapping paper off revealing a box. Kyle jiggles the box and holds it to his ear and starts offering guesses as to what’s inside. Kyle opens it and sees tissue paper concealing his gift. He unfolds it and finds two front row seats and back stage passes to see his favorite band. “Mystic, Wow. I never expected anything like this. Thank you. I’ve always wanted to see “U2” in concert this is awesome. The tickets are for January 12, 2005 for the 2U- The U2 Tribute Tour at Crested Butte Resort in Colorado.”
Mystic informs Kyle, “Look under the tissue paper, there’s something else. Another note from Cal attached to….. “U2’s” new CD “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb,” I wanted that CD and you kept telling me to wait for the DVD, you’re so wicked. I love you Mystic. Thank you. Cal’s playing airlines again. We get to borrow his jet to go to the concert and he says he has a friend that owns that resort hotel that owes him a favor that he’s calling in for us. He made sure we got a suite with all the trimmings on the house. Wow! I really need to thank Cal for all his help with your gift and now mine. Whoo hoo! a Christmas that doesn’t suck!” Kyle beams at his gift excitedly. Okay let’s see what kind of gifts our resident married couple have to exchange. Come on Max, show me up, I dare ya buddy,” Kyle urges.
Max excuses himself to get his hidden present and bring it to Liz. “You are so terrible at letting me surprise you. I had to hide your present, just to make sure it stayed a surprise. I had help picking this out but I think you’ll like this,” Max says placing the gift in Liz’s hands. Liz notices that this box feels heavy and shoots him a puzzled expression.
“I wonder what is in here. My best guess is that it’s clothing or something. Never did I imagine a box that is this heavy that I’d have to open,” Liz says. She’s in deep concentration trying to solve the mystery before opening the box. Liz opens it and is stunned to see a rather large photo Album all decorated in white satin with the words ‘Max and Liz’ beautifully embroidered across the front. Liz tears up and lifts the photo album out of the box and begins looking through the pages of it. Liz’s eyes fill with happy tears seeing photos of the two of them even before they started dating. There were pictures of Max staring at Liz working in her uniform at the Crash Down and Liz oblivious to Max sneaking glances at her. There are pictures of Liz doing the same watching Max when he’s not looking at her. Liz finds more magic memories caught on film of their first date her father insisted on taking of them at the time. Plus others of them slow dancing at a school dance staring into each others eyes as if they were the only two people in the world. In a word simply captivated by love they find in each other. Finally, there are pics of Liz and Max’s wedding day at the courthouse with just a simple justice of the peace style wedding. Liz standing all in white in her dress and Max in his Tuxedo looking very much in love and joyous that now they can be together and no one can stop them. Both moms and Phillip looking on smiling through happy tears at watching Max and Liz marry. Liz touches the photos and smiles. “Oh Max, look at Michael and Maria. Don’t they look great? Michael in his Tuxedo as Best Man, Maria in her Bridesmaid dress, and of course the wedding party picture of all of us together laughing and smiling on our wedding day. Max, Honey, this is beautiful. Thank you!” Liz is moved to tears and to give Max a kiss and hug. Liz wait, there’s another one for you under the tree. The one with the big gold bow, that one I don’t mind if you open early,” Smiles Max. Liz hurries over to the gift with the gold bow and furiously opens this large box to find a beautiful red evening dress with delicate shimmering stones affixed to the front of the dress. Liz squeals, “Oh Max, this is gorgeous, thank you.” She lifts the dress out of the box. An envelope tucked inside the dress drops. Liz reads her name in Max’s handwriting across it. She looks up at him and smiles. “What did you do now, Max? Spoiling me more? Huh, good, I could get used to this you know,” Liz jokes.
Max replies, “Count on it Babe, I plan to spoil you for the rest of your life, so get used to it.”
Liz opens the envelope and holds up a note that’s inside. “Is it me or there a reoccurring theme here?” The note reads as follows; “My Liz, I wanted so much to give you a proper Honeymoon, but at the time we didn’t get the chance really. I’m giving it to you now. We leave Monday to fly to some place warm, beautiful and far from Roswell New Mexico. Cal hooked us up with everything we would need. He felt bad about whisking us off to the Colony. So when I asked Cal for suggestions he wanted to help. Before we leave for our 1 week honeymoon, I wanted to give you a nice romantic dinner out tomorrow night and I expect you to wear that dress. The dress is required at least for the dinner part, Love Max.”
“Max, you’re the best. I love you. This is so amazing. I can’t believe we are really going to do this. Oh what about school, we can’t just tell them sorry we have a honeymoon to attend, ours.”
Isabel speaks up, “Liz don’t worry. Maria and I have that part handled, Cal helped too. It will be okay. The school won’t be a problem. We’ll get the missed assignments for you, besides both of you are straight “A” students. I doubt you’d miss anything all that important. Plus Maria and I will expect the “G” rated details when you two return. Now, your assignment is to go have fun on your enviable perfect honeymoon.”
Liz asks, “But … But...”
Maria chimes in, “No buts about it except for yours and Max’s getting on the plane to go on your honeymoon. And no, Max didn’t tell us where you are going, so don’t even ask. You know Isabel, Mystic and I tried, but he won’t budge. Your husband is just as stubborn as you are and expects you to wait to find out because it’s a surprise. Now you know Iz, Mystic and I were hurt but he’s holding firm. We tried to wear him down, but no dice with the details. You might have better luck with him,” Maria winks.
Michael turns to Kyle and Alex and says, “I bet he caves and tells Liz everything within five minutes of being alone with Liz later tonight,” Michael boasts.
“No way Liz is getting him to cave. She didn’t even get him to give up what her presents were,” Kyle says confidently.
“Fine! You’re wrong Michael. Let’s bet on it. You want in on this too Alex?” Kyle asks.
To be continued in a Second....
