I'm so sorry that I have not posted in a month. The reason is that I'm in college now and I have to make time to post. I will not leave my story and my fans dry. I will continue with this story. Thank you for keeping this story alive. So here is the next post.
Part 18
“Oh God, Liz”, said Maria as she walked into the room followed by the others. “What happened honey?”, Maria asked while hugging her.
“I don’t know”, said Liz trying not to freak Maria out.
“Are you alright?” asked Maria.
“Yea I’m fine”, said Liz.
“You know that you killed Kivar”, said Isabel.
“I know”, said Liz with her left hand on her unborn child.
“Thank you for helping us”, said Isabel being thankful towards her sister-in –law for once. “If you need anyone to talk to; I’m here”. It was the right thing to do.
“Thank you”, said Liz.
“Are you sure that you are alright?”, asked Maria as she let go of her hand.
“Yes Maria”, said Liz with a smile.
“O.K then”, Maria said as she looked over at Max. “Maybe we should leave you two alone”, Maria said as she got up off the bed.” We’ll be down stairs”, she said as she walked out of the room followed by Michael and Isabel.
Now Max and Liz were the only ones left in the room. Max sat down and held her hand. He looked into her eyes.
“I love you”, said Max trying to reassure her that what happened was not her fault. “It’s not your fault”.
“IT’S NOT MY FAULT? I ALMOST KILLED YOU!” said Liz with pain in her voice.
“But you didn’t”, Max replied, with a grin on his face.
“Only because your daughter saved you”, Liz said as she looked into his eyes.
“What?”, Max said, sounding surprised. “What are you talking about?” “How?”, he asked as he cupped her face with his hand.
“What I’m talking about is, that I could have killed you because of what you did to me. I can’t let go of it because of the pain that you have caused me. I never told anyone how I felt about it” , she said, feeling more relived. “I let my emotions get the best of me”.
“Liz, I never meant to hurt you”, said Max as he rubbed her cheek. “I can’t explain why I did what I did. I can’t give an excuse for doing it. All I can say is that I love you and I’m sorry”, Max said, as a tear ran down his cheek.
Liz felt better. Her world was slowly coming together. A smile came on her face, “Thank you”, she leaned forward, and Max leaned forward, their lips meeting.
When their lips parted, they looked into each others eyes, “Max, would you like to meet your daughter?”
“Yea”, he replied with love in his eyes.
“Here”, she said as she grabbed his hand and placed it on top of their unborn child.
Max took a deep breath, and focused on the baby. He saw a white light and an image of a baby in what looks to be a womb. He received a rush of images of her life. He saw her face. He saw Liz in his daughters’ face. He saw an angel.
He released Liz, and looked into her eyes, “Thank you”.

Everyone else was downstairs with Langley. There was tension in the room.
“Could someone please tell me what just happened to Liz”, asked Kyle franticly.
“Liz killed Kivar”, said Isabel as she ran her hands though her hair.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT SHE KILLED KIVAR?”, yelled Kyle. “Liz can’t kill
anyone”.
“Well she did!” yelled Michael.
“Michael, calm down”, said Maria.
*******************************************************
Meanwhile, upstairs in Liz and Max’s bedroom:
Liz brought his lips to hers. The kiss was passionate. They felt each others pain. They felt each others happiness.
Then the flashes:
She saw him hold their child in his arms. She saw the biggest smile on
his face beaming down on the small child. She felt what he was feeling
looking at this child.
Liz broke away from the kiss and looked away and then she looked to her
unborn child with a smile.
“Liz!, Liz”, trying to catch her attention. “What happened? Did you
have a flash? What did you see?,” as he ran his hands though her hair
trying to calm her down. (Like she needs it)
“Yea,” said Liz smiling. “ I saw you holding our daughter really soon”.
“Really?” said Max with a smile leaning in for another kiss.
“Uh-huh”, leaning in as well.

A few days later…
It felt good to be walking about. I’ve been in bed for two days. Thanks to Max I have bedsores. It felt good to walk out of our room and out of the Mansion. When I stepped onto the patio I found Michael looking over at the pool. He did not hear me until I called out to him..
“Michael”, said Liz walking up behind him.
Michael turned around to face Liz, “Oh, Hi. How are you feeling?” Michael asked.
“Good, I feel like a lump on a log”, said Liz as she sat down beside him at the pool.
“You know that if you need someone to talk to, I’m always here for you”, said Michael.
“Thank you that is why I came out here to talk to you”, said Liz.
“O. K, now lets talk”, said Michael as he sat down and waited for Liz to start talking.
She was not sure how to start; all she knew was the only one that she could really talk to about killing someone was Michael. She knew that Isabel also killed someone, but she did not feel right talking to her. They did not have the same relationship that she and Michael had.
“You know when you killed Agent Pierce, you said something about wanting to kill him. It is kind of like what I went though with Kivar. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to kill him with every part of my being. But , I was also attracted to him”, said Liz trying not to get mad.
“And you are worrying about it, wondering, does this make me a killer, does this make me a monster?”, said Michael.
“Yes”, said Liz with a smile, they were on the same page. It was exactly how she felt.
“No, it does not. You were protecting the people that you care about”, said Michael.
“I know, but what he was saying about Max and me was true. How could I ever forget that?”, said Liz.
“Look, I know what Max did to you, I know that he hurt you.”, said Michael. “But you were under Kivar’s control. You did not know what you were doing. ”
“Yea I was, but I was not totally under it, I was also under my baby’s control too. And I knew what I was doing. And I wanted the pain that Max caused to stop,” said Liz
“And you almost killed Max for it”, said Michael. “You and I both know that sometimes Max is an Ass, and sometimes he deserves it. But he can’t help it. That is the way he is. So don’t beat yourself up about it. I know there is nothing that Max can that can say that will make up for what he did.”
“When I went though my change, I told him how I felt but on the same page, I almost destroyed everything that was around me. And when I did what I did to Max, I let my emotions get the best of me. I love Max with all my heart, but I can’t go on like this. Whenever I’m mad I don’t want to blow up everything around me.”, said Liz.
“So, what do you want?”, asked Michael.
“I want to know how to control my powers”, said Liz
“Why are you telling me this?”, asked Michael.
“I would like to see how you would feel about it, you know with me having powers and helping you guys out when you need it”, said Liz.
“That would be cool, tell Max and I’ll help him help you”, said Michael.
“Thank you”, said Liz with a smile and a hug. Liz felt better about it.
She might not have been able to speak to Max about it, but she was happy to be able to speak with Michael about it.

Always be true to yourself because if you can't, than it is not worth anything to anyone one.
