Roswell Fanatics

Chapter 10

"What did he do?" Before Sam could answer him, they heard Kevin yell:

"YOU KILLED MY BABY!" Then Liz's strangle scream a second later.

"Help!"

Sam and Dean raced into the living room just in time to see Kevin fly across the room.

"What the hell?!" Dean gasped.

"YOUR FUCKING ASSHOLE. I DIDN'T KILL HER. YOU DID." Liz yelled before crumbing to the ground. "You killed her." She suddenly sobbed.

"Oh god Liz." Sam raced to his best friend's side and pulled her into his arms. "Did he hurt you?"

Liz looked up at Sam just as Dean walked over to Kevin. "He tried to kill me because of Amelia." She whispered.

"That asshole." Sam moved to beat the shit out of Kevin but Liz stopped him.

"No. Help me. Leave him alone."

"But Liz-."

"No Sam. Fuck him. Me first." Sam nodded before lifting Liz up. Then he looked at Dean as he said to Liz.

"Your neck is red." Dean's whole body went stiff as Sam carried Liz out of the living room.

"Like I said, he tried to kill me but I blasted his ass across the room."

"Liz!" Sam sucked in breath. "Why would you do that? What were you thinking? Dean and I would have gotten to you in time."

"Sorry but Kevin's hands were around my neck. The only thing I could think was 'get this ass hole off'. Next time I'll just wait for you and Dean while he's choking the shit out of me." Sam let out the breath he had been holding.

"I didn't mean it like that." Then he gently sat her on her bed. "And there won't be a next time."

"Who says?" Liz asked, her eyes watering.

"Dean." Just then they heard fist to face contact.

"You son of a bitch. You like hitting on women."

"Let's close the door." Sam said as he closed the door to Liz's room with a smile on his face.

*****************

"You son of a bitch. You like hitting on women." Dean yelled as he punched Kevin again. "You like hitting on Liz!" Another punch. "Well I like hitting on you." Another punch. "It's actually a bit fun." Another punch. "But I like it better when someone fights back so get the fuck up."

Dean pulled Kevin to his feet and backed up.

"Asshole." He heard Kevin say as he spit out blood. "You'd beat on her if she did to you what she did to me." Then as an after thought. "And I didn't beat on her."

"Oh no." Dean said as he lifted his fists in a fighting stance. "Then why was her neck red and why did I hear her screaming help?"

"I thought you wanted to fight." Kevin said before running at Dean

"Oh goody."

********************

Maria and Kyle sat in Maria's living room thinking of reason's not to go to Liz. Though Max had forbid them to go see her, she was their best friend and they really wanted to see her. See how she was doing. So what if 5 years had passed? So what if she hadn't called them? They hadn't called her either and just fell in with what Max had wanted them to do because they were hurt.

"Let's go see her." Kyle finally said to Maria.

"I don't know. I mean, Max said-."

"Fuck His Majesty. I never liked him in the first place." Kyle snapped.

"Then why did you stay?" Maria asked making Kyle smirk.

"That's easy. Because Michael and I are friends and I knew I couldn't just leave my sister in this alone." Maria smiled.

"Thanks Kyle. You've been a great brother in all of this." They shared a small smile before Kyle got uncomfortable.

"Can we go now?"

"Let's."

*******************

Liz and Sam walked out of her room once all the noise stopped. Well, only when Sam said it was time for them to leave the room. As they walked into the living room, all they saw was Dean on the couch and the front door opened.

"Where's Kevin?" Liz asked.

"Gone." Dean told her. But he sounded awful.

"Dean." She raced over to him to see that he had a split lip and he was bleeding from a cut above his eye. She raced into the kitchen for the first aid kit.

"Dude you look like shit." Sam said with a smirk.

"You should see the other guy." Dean smiled.

"What the hell happened after Sam closed the door to my room?" Liz questioned as she walked back into the livingroom with the first aid kit in her hands. "And what happened to my parents' living room?"

"I don't know." Dean said with innocent eyes but then they were gone and in their place was his devilesh look. "What did happen once you and Sam were alone in your room with the door closed?"

Liz rolled her eyes. "You look like crap but you still manage to be such a smart ass. Things never change."

"Just like you helping clean him up." Sam joked. "Bring back any memories, Liz?"

"Should they?" A voice asked from behind them.

Chapter 11

Liz turned and saw Max standing in the doorway, the moonlight hitting him all wrong making her think that she had to have been stupid to be in love with him once.

"Um," Liz stood up from in front of Dean, a bloody napkin still in her hand. "Max, what are you doing here?" She asked him slowly.

"I came back."

"Oh really?" Dean asked sarcastically.

"We can see that." Liz said ignoring Dean. "But what are you here for?"

Max walked into the living room making Sam move closer to Liz and Dean sit up straight on the couch.

"I just...I just wanted to...to talk to you." He told her.

"Why? You didn't want to talk to her before?" Sam snapped. Liz unconsiously grabbed his hand.

"Actually I did but she invited you to come with her." Max snapped back.

"Look." Liz said moving in front of Sam. "Right now is so not the time. Dean is hurt and I'm sure you have better things to do than talk to me. So how about I take a raincheck on that 'talkin'?"

"Like hell." She heard Dean grumble.

"Sure. Why not?" Max said as he backed out of the living room, out of Liz's life. Liz nodded quickly before turning back to Dean.

"You are too much you know that." She told him.

"I try." Dean smirked but then turned serious. "I don't think it's a good idea for you to talk to him." Liz looked up.

"Why not? I can take care of myself." She said as she dabbed the napkin on his cut. "And it's just talking." Liz quickly placed a band aid over the cut.

"You don't know that." Dean told her.

"Don't worry so much Dean." Liz smirked. "You'll get wrickles in your face and the tramps you hit on will think your old and gross."

"Hey!" Dean growled as Liz walked away and down the hall. "That's not funny you know." He said as he went after her.

"Same old, same old." Sam smirked as he dropped onto the couch and turned on the tv. "Next thing you know I'll be ducking so I don't get hit by something Liz is throwing."

"I heard that." Liz yelled from her room.

"I'm sure you did." Sam yelled back never getting up from the couch.

Liz smiled to herself as she walked into her room and into her bathroom. Today had been a long day and all she wanted to do was-.

"Tramps you say." Liz spun to see Dean standing by her door.

"Holy shit Dean. Heart attack much." She gasped as she held onto her chest.

"Well you did promise sex on your balcony if I kept my mouth shut about what you've been doing and...." Dean shut the door to her room and locked it. "I kept my mouth shut."

Chapter 12

Liz took a step back registing Dean's words. "Well you did promise sex on your balcony if I kept my mouth shut about what you've been doing and.... I kept my mouth shut." When had she-? Liz's hand covered her mouth. She totally forgot her promise. But it hadn't been a promise. No. It had been just a clever way to shut Dean up. She had never thought that he'd actually believe her.

"Dean, I'm-I..."

"Forgot? I know but that's why I'm here. Now," Dean walked over to Liz and stood in front of her. "Don't scream. Sam'll hear you."

Before she could stop, Dean's lips were on her own, his hands pulling her flush against his hard body. Liz quickly wrapped her arms around Dean's neck pushing off the tips of her toes to meet him better. His lips against her own had heat going to places that Liz had long forgotten. God this man was going to be the end of her.

Feeling that Liz was struggling to kiss him, Dean ran one hand down her body, over her ass and onto her thigh, pulling her up and making her wrap her legs around his waist. Her heat was right over his growing erection, the softness of her mouth on his not helping the cause one bit.

Not knowing how her room was set up, Dean slammed Liz into the closest wall, pinning her up against it. She giggled into his mouth before mumbling something as Dean started kissing down her neck.

"Gotta be fast or Sammy'll hear." She told him. "I wanna be able to scream your name."

Dean mumbled: 'No.' into her neck as he used one hand to start unbuttoning her shorts. "You," Kiss. "Gotta," Nibble. "Be," Suck. "Quiet," Lick. "If you," Blow on. "Want this!" Dean finished as he looked into Liz's unpatient eyes. "Okay." She nodded silently, her hands running in between them and down to his jeans. She quickly unbuttoned them and let her hand in, gripping onto his hot erection. "Damn Liz!" He mumbled.

"Shhh." She whispered into his ear, her tiny left hand still wrapped around his junk while her right arm held him close. "We wouldn't want Sammy to walk in, now would we?"

Her hand was moving in slow, killing movments making Dean clench his teeth together as he fought the need to groan. Wanting to make her just as weak, Dean moved himself so that he pinned Liz to the wall, stopping her hand movements as he reached for her shirt. He wripped if off of her, taking her bra with it and throwing the two unwanted pieces of clothing across the room. Liz gasped at the cold air on her chest gaining Dean's attention. His lips attached onto one of her breasts, sucking it all the while never breaking their eye contact.

Liz moaned as her hands wrapped around Dean's head pulling him even closer.

"Guys!" Sam's voice came through the door as he jiggled the handle. Then he started pounding on the door. "Why is the door locked? Dean? Liz?"

"Sam!" Liz pushed Dean off of her and ran into the bathroom. She shut the door and locked it.

"Damn it." Dean growled as he hit the wall.

"Dean? You okay?" More jiggling and banging on the door. "Dean I think the door is locked? Dean!"

"Sam, the door isn't locked." Dean snapped as he walked over to the door and unlocked it. "See." He said as Sam came falling into the room. "Unlocked. Probably just stuck."

"But I-." Sam started but Dean moved pass him. "Okay."

Liz took that as her chance to walk out of the bath room. She just hoped her face wasn't flushed. The last thing she needed was for Sam to know what she and Dean had been doing, or what they were going to do before he started banging on the door.

"The door got suck again?" She asked, playing her role. She just hoped Sam fell for it.

"I guess." He said as he dropped onto her bed. "So...."

"So." Liz said following suit.

"You gonna tell me what you and Dean were doing in here or do I have to guess?" Sam asked shocking Liz.

"I...I....I don't know what you are talkin about." She stammered.

"Oh really?"

"Really." Sam stood up and walked over to her dresser and picked something up.

"So this isn't the top you were just wearing?" Liz's cheeks burned red. She had totally forgotten about that. When Dean had wripped her top off, she had been focused on his lips on her skin, not where he had thrown her top.

"Um, I-." But at Sam's raised eye brow Liz knew she couldn't lie to him. "Nothing happened. You stopped it before we could really do anything." Sam smirked. "I mean it.

"Now I know why Dean is pissed."

"You're just lucky he doesn't shoot you with that gun of his for interrupting us." Liz giggled.

Chapter 13

Liz sat alone in the cafe the next day. Sam and Dean had gone out to do only god knows what that morning and had left her alone with a small note that said;

Liz,

Going out. Be back later.

Dean.

P.S. I have Samantha.

Liz shook her head as she dropped the note and took a swig of her milkshake. Dean must still be pissed at Sam for interrupting them and Liz was alittle pissed as well. Sure, starting something with anyone right now was stupid but Dean wasn't just anyone and she was starting to see that. After 2, 3 years of dealing with his shit, she should have noticed it a long time ago but he was just so....irritating.

"Penny for your thoughts." Liz turned and saw Kyle standing by the front door.

"What? No king?" Liz pretended to be shocked. "What would the others say?"

"I don't give a rat's ass what they would say. I'm not an alien and they can't tell me who I can or can't talk to." Kyle snapped. "Especially when it comes to you."

"What about the funeral palor or upstairs? You seemed to like following Max then." Liz snapped back as she shot out of her seat.

"The funeral palor wasn't suppose to happen." Kyle told her, calming down a bit. "Max said that he just wanted to see who Dean and Sam were. It's been pretty dormat for the last 5 years so...seeing you and them together put everyone on high alert."

"And now?" Liz asked as she too calmed down.

"Well, now that we know you weren't taken from us but that you left on your own free will," Kyle walked over to Liz so that he was face to face with her. "I don't know." He said as he shrugged his shoulders. "It's just nice to know that we can leave the group and have a normal life."

Liz smiled. "Of course you can leave the group and still have a normal life."

"So are we....." Kyle smirked at Liz. "Cool?"

"Yeah." Liz smirked back at him. "We're cool." A smile spread across her face. "Come here." She pulled Kyle into her arms and hugged him. When she pulled back, Liz took a good look at Kyle. "So? What's new in Roswell?"

"Um, maybe you should sit down for this?" Kyle suddenly said in a very serious tone.

**************

Maria opened the door to the apartment that she and Kyle had been sharing for 3 years now. Max's orders. After Liz left, he sort of went crazy and ended up buying an entire building so that he, Michael and Isabel could live in without a problem. Maria dropped her keys on the table to her left, kicked the door closed with her foot and walked through the small hallway to the kitchen where a nice hot pot of tea would be waiting for her.

"Kyle? I'm home."

It wasn't until Isabel met Jessie that Max had even considered to let Maria and Kyle stay in the building let alone live in it. Then when they had gotten married, Max wanted everyone close for the fear of Isabel leaving him. And wal-la! Maria and kyle were given their very own apartment.

"Kyle?" Maria looked around the kitchen but no Kyle. "Kyle?" Maybe he was in the living room. She couldn't hear the tv but he would never go out without telling her and the others. "Kyle?" As she pass by the empty livingroom and the empty game room, the phone rang. "Damn phone." She turned and went back to the livingroom, picking up the phone just in time. "Hello?"

"Maria! What took you so long to pick up the phone?"

"Hi to you too Max." She snapped.

"Bad day?" Maria sighed.

"No. Sorry for snapping. I was just looking for Kyle but he's not home. Did he-?"

"He's not home?" Max yelled cutting her off.

"No. I thought he-."

"Well he didn't. I'm going to call Michael and Iz. Maybe one of them know where he is? Meet us at the Crashdown in an hour."

"Max?" Maria called into the phone but he was already gone. "What the hell?"

*********************

Isabel and Michael were both called and were both told to meet Max at the Crashdown just like he had told Maria.

"You think he's finally snapped?" Isabel asked Michael as she and him started walking towards the Crashdown which was a block or two away from them.

"Yeah I do. But that's not the real question."

"Then what is the question?" Isabel asked as she wrapped her arms around her waist.

"The question is what are going to do about him?"

********************

Liz burst out laughing at something Kyle was telling her. He had told her about everything that was happening here; like Max controlling all their moves, Isabel's marriage, Maria and Michael's relationship (or lack there of) and his living arrangements with Maria. He had also told her about his growing....feeling for Maria but knew that she only thought of him as a brother.

"I can't believe that you actually did that. Does Maria know?" Liz asked, her face red from laughter.

"Hell no. If she ever found out that I tried to set up a camera in the bathroom, she'd kill me." Kyle laughed.

"Well that and she'd find out that you-." Liz's words died in her throat as she watched Max, Michael, Isabel and Maria all walking towards the cafe. "Oh we have company."

Kyle turned and saw them too. "Damn. They're probably coming here to find me."

"Find you?" Liz asked confused.

"Yeah. Remember when I told you that if one of wanted to leave the apartments then we had to tell the others."

"But you're an adult? Why do you need to tell them anything?" But before Kyle could answer her, Max beat him to it.

"Because after you, I didn't want to have to worry about anyone else being taken away."

"I left on my own free will Max." Liz said as she stood up from her stool.

"But we didn't know that."

"How could you not? I left for Florida one day, and never came back and yet my parents were still happy. Hello! If something would have happened to me, you'd all know from my parents."

"Like how we found out that you were on the road with two guys you barely knew?" Max snapped.

"Barely know?" Liz questioned. "I barely knew Dean but Sam and I had been roomies 2 years before that."

"So why leave college Liz?" Isabel asked, though it wasn't as hostle as Max.

Liz shrugged her shoulders. "I didn't go to college."

"What?" They all gasped.

"I. Never. Went. To. College." Liz said slowly so that they got everything.

"Then where have you been for the past 5 years?" Maria asked.

"On the road."

"More details please." Michael said as he walked over to the counter. Liz nodded her head as she walked around the counter so that she could give them all something to drink. "That long huh?"

"Not really."

"Then why give us something to drink?" Max questioned as he, Maria and Isabel walked over to the counter and sat down next to Michael and Kyle.

"Because my parents taught me that when you have guests you cater to them." Then she bit her lip. "Even if you don't want to."

Maria smiled. "Yeah, they did." Liz smiled at her before she turned back to the rest of the group.

"Well after Florida, I decided that I wanted to see the world before I came back. Alex was gone and even though I still had you guys, it still didn't stop the hurt."

"Where did you go?" Kyle asked.

"Everywhere." They all turned and saw Sam and Dean standing by the entrance. "I guess its story time." Sam said as he walked over to Liz.

"I guess it is." Liz looked over at Dean who was already almost to the back. "Dean wait." She ran after him and caught him on the steps. "Are you just going to ignore me too?"

"I-. No." He finally said to her. "But I do have to watch my self with you."

"Why?" She asked with big round eyes. "I'm not glass."

"No you're not but you aren't immortal either." Then he turned and walked away leaving her alone until Sam came looking for her.

"Give him time. This is new to him."

"Fine." Liz finally said as she turned from where Dean had walked away. "Let's go tell them what really happened 5 years ago."

Chapter 14

"So where to start?" Liz joked as she and Sam walked back into the crash.

'How about the beginning." Isabel said.

"Sure. Why not?" Liz stood behind the counter with Sam as they stared at the five people Liz had once called family. "Um, after Florida I went West to Califorina."

"Um, cally. Nice." Kyle joked.

"Yeah. I moved from city to city, job to job, motel to motel. I just needed time and thats exactly what I got. And everything had been cool. I was alone and that was totally cool by me. I didn't need anybody nor did I want anybody. Sure I dated but nothing serious."

"Where do Sam and Dean come in to this?" Max snapped.

'Well, one day I ended up in Sacramento and took a job as a waitress at some small dinner not that different from this one. I worked there for about a week when this tall, lanky guy with green eyes and a snug look on his face walked in all alone."

"Hey! I didn't have a snug look on my face. It was more...pouty than snug." Sam interrupted.

"Yeah sure. Sam, I've known you for 5 years now and the only two looks you had back then was a pouty look when you didn't like what was happening around you and a snug look when you didn't get something to go your way." Liz told him totally forgetting about the others.

'I'll have you know I had just gotten into a fight with my dad and left when i walked into that dinner."

"Would you two stopand continuewith thestory?" Max snapped again.

"Sorry." Sam and Liz said at the same time only you could hear it in their voices that they didn't mean it.

"So yeah, Sam walks in and looks like hell, so I go over to him, take his order and then leave. Of course this older waitress tells me that I should go over to him and talk. Not really caring, I do it and that's how Sam and I met."

"A few weeks after that we moved in together." Sam continued. "And everything had been normal. I went to school while Liz work. I kept on telling her to go to school but she said she had her reasons, so i didn't push it."

"And Dean? Where is he?" Maria asked.

"I actually met him 3 years after Sam and I met." Liz looked at Sam and he nodded. "I um, had this amazing boyfriend. He was great. He never cheated on me, never hit me or forced his opinons on me."

"What happened?" Kyle asked.

"I got pregnant and was totally happy about it but I guess he wasn't because he left...." Tears slipped from Liz's eyes before she could stop them. She hadn't meant to brake down in front of these ppl but they had to know. They just had to.

"Anyways, after he left, Liz called me up and since I was with Dean, I came right away."

"Did you have the baby?" Isabel asked.

"No. She died before she was even born." More tears. "I'm sorry. I can't do this."

Then she was gone. Out the front door, tears falling from her eyes. No one moved. Not even Sam.

"I'll...I gotta go and get her. Sorry." Then he was gone.

"Damn." Michael finally said.

"Yeah and you thought she's been living the good life." Kyle told Max.

"Well, that's what she gets for leaving." Max snapped before walking towards the front door. "I want you all home at 10." Then he was gone.

"We really need to do something with him." Kyle said.

"I totally agree but what?" Isabel asked.

"We gotta show him that he doesn't own us." Maria said.

"We gotta get away from him." Michael told them.

Chapter 15

Liz sat alone on a park bench just staring into the vast emptiness that was Roswell, New Mexico. Her tears had cease about an hour ago and she knew that she should go back to the Crash but she didn't want to. At least, not yet. She wanted-no needed to go somewhere where she could let everything out. Somewhere she hasn't been in a very long time. Somewhere where she had a friend.

Knowing exactly where that somewhere was, Liz jumped up and ran out of the park. The sooner she got to him the better she'd feel.

**************

"I can't find her." Sam said as he walked into Liz's childhood home.

"What do you mean you can't find her?" Maria snapped. "You're suppose to be her best friend and best friends know exactly where their sad best friend is going."

Kyle rolled his eyes before standing up. "Maybe we should all go home. Liz'll come back. She just needs some time. I mean wouldn't you after what she just told us."

"What did she tell you guys?" Dean asked from his spot in the kitchen.

"About her ex getting her pregnant and then leaving her." Maria said without looking at Sam who was clearly telling her not to say anything.

"What? Liz was never pregnant." Dean looked over at Sam who looked very uncomfortable. "Was she?"

"Um, yeah....maybe you guys should go home. Liz is probably on her way back anyway." Sam told them. Hinting with his eyes to get the hell out of the line of fire.

"Sam, when did Liz get pregnant and why didn't I know about it?!" Dean thundered.

"I think that's our cue to leave." Isabel said bouncing up and walking out with the others behind her.

"Tell Liz we'll see her tomorrow." Kyle told the two brothers.

"That's if he's alive tomorrow." Dean said walking over to the door and closing it on Kyle's face. "So, you gonna start talking or am I gonna have to beat it out of you?"

"You better start beating me because there is no way in hell that I'ma tell you anything until Liz says so."

"Oh really?"

"Really."

"Then let's get this over with." Dean said before cracking his knuckles and going after Sam.

**************

Liz finally reached her destination and dropped to the hard ground, her body shaking from unwanted sobs.

"Hey there buddy. I'm sorry I haven't seen you in a while but there's alot that I have to tell you. Alot that I need to get off my chest and since you were/are the only person I could ever go to, I guess coming here is what I need." Liz looked up and a small smile touched her lips as she ran her fingers over the cold grave stone.

Alexander Charles Whitman.

"God, Alex where do I start?"

"How about the beginning."

Chapter 16

"God Alex, where do I start?" Liz cried into her hands.

"How about the beginning?" Liz froze. She knew that voice. She knew it by heart. But how? Slowly, Liz turned around and saw her dreams come to life.

"Oh god Alex. Is it really you?" She cried.

"As real as a ghost can be but you already knew that, didn't you?" Alex said before kneeling down in front of Liz. "So? What's new with you?" He asked in his 'cheer you up' tone.

Liz bit her lip in question. Should she really believe that this was her once best friend? Should she tell him everything? Every single little detail that she never even told Sam?

"Well;" I guess I can. "When you.... when you..past, I just couldn't breath. I mean one minute everything was normal and the next..." Liz shruddered. "Um, after that the group just fell apart. I couldn't be near Maria anymore because I knew that if I were to be near her that I would..I wouldn't have been able to solve your death." Liz choked.

"Liz I know that Tess killed me but I also know that you and almost everyone else in the group thinks that it's somehow your fault. It isn't. She killed me. Not you guys."

"Yeah well, no one would believe me when I said that." Liz smirked. "Well I knew that someone killed you and I didn't want to stop until I found out who and that's exactly what I did. Yeah it tore the group more apart but it did bring us back together at the caves."

"Ahh." Alex nodded his head. "You found the translation."

"Yeah. I did. Well Maria, Michael and I. The 3 of us found out." Liz shifted. "Anyways to make a long story short, Maria, Kyle and me found out it was Tess, Michael didn't want to leave Maria and we told Max but he let her go anyways." Liz felt-or more realistically, heard Alex shift next to her. "That's when things got worst. Of course after Tess is gone, Max turns to me and tells me that he loves me and that he wants to be with me and-."

"Blah, blah, blah." Alex nodded surprising Liz. "What? I can still read whats on your mind." Liz smiled. "Ok keep going."

"Um, I just...couldn't be with him after what he had done. I wouldn't be second to anyone. That pissed Max off and he slapped the shit out of me."

"What?!"

"And a few days later, I flew to florida to stay with my aunt."

"Back up. Evans hit you?" Alex demanded.

"Let's not dwell on that." Liz looked up into her best friend's brown eyes. "In florida, I was pretty much a zombie. I did nothing but stay in my aunt's house while she, well, while she did whatever it is that Miley does. When the summer finished, I wasn't ready to go back to I called my parents and told them and they were totally cool with it. I graduated early since I already had the credits and I just left Florida."

"Where did you go?" Alex asked and Liz couldn't help but smile.

"All over. America is just so beautiful."

"How did you pay for it?"

"I worked. Whenever I didn't have money or was running low, I would work as a waitress at any and almost every bar, resturant, whatever." Then Liz's smile turned into a smirk. "Well that and when I didn't want to work I played pool."

That got Alex to chuckle. "Ah, so you hustled men to get money. Nice."

"Right. Well I ended up in California. How I don't know but I just did and it was okay. I went from LA, to Hollywood to San Fransisco. But I ended up in this small dinner in Sacramento. I was just suppose to be passing through but I met someone and he became my best friend. THe one person I could go to and NOT feel like a complete idiot. Sam helped me alot." Another smile. "I helped him with a place to stay and he helped me start over. Really and truly."

"So, he's just a friend?" Alex asked with a sparkled in his eyes.


"Yeah, Sam is just a friend. My best friend but still only a friend. I couldn't take that next step with him and neither could he with me. And plus he was like so totally in love with this girl I knew named Jess. I of course stepped in and got them together and for two years, they were happy. We both were. I had finally found someone who could make me smile witout even trying." The smile slipped from her face. "But then Jess, that was her name, she died and so did Sam. He couldn't be near any of us and I totally understood him. His older brother Dean was now in the picture and even though they never really talk, it kind of helped Sam." Liz looked away. Now to the hard part. "A few months later, I found out that I was pregnant."

"What?"

Liz looked back at Alex, tears in her eyes. "Yeah, with a little girl. Her name was gonna be Amelia and everything." The tears began to fall and all Alex wanted to do was wrap his arms around Liz. "But her father didn't want her. Once I told him, he just...just disappeared. One day all his stuff was at our house and the next the house was empty. I couldn't take being alone so I called Sam. He came and I stayed with him on the road. But the stress and the..the things I saw were too much."

"Why Liz? What happened?"

"She died, Alex. My..my...my body couldn't hold her and it was the worst thing in the world to have her for 5 months only to have her rip from me because of what Kevin had done." Liz spit out Kevin's name as if it were vemon.

"What did you do after that?" Liz cleaned her face, wiping away her tears with her shirt.

"I stood with Sam and Dean for almost a year but I couldnt take their....job, so I left."

"Where did you go?"

"Seattle. I went to Seattle and have been living there for almost two years now."

"I'm glad you told me."

"I'm glad I could."

"Where do you think Liz is?" Maria asked Kyle as they both got ready for bed.

"I don't know. I mean, she really doesn't have-." But his words died in his throat.

"What? Kyle what is it?" Maria asked noticing Kyle's sudden change in mood.

"God, how can we be so stupid? Do we really NOT know Liz?"

"Kyle! Kyle, what are you talking about? Liz has changed. She's different. She's-."

"No Maria, she isn't. She hasn't." Kyle turned from the kitchen and walked into the living room picking up the phone. "Liz is still the same girl we knew in high school. She still thinks the same way." With that, he turned and dialed the familiar ten digit number he knew by heart.

************

Dean threw another right and then a left, both connecting with Sam's face and stomach.

"That all you got." Sam spit out as he spit out blood from his mouth.

"Smart ass huh."

"Just like my big brother."

"Then just like your big brother I'ma beat what I want out of you."

"Come and get it." Niether heard the phone start to ring as they flew at each other, both lost in who would break first.

***********

"You have to go."

"But why?"

"Because I have this feeling." Liz looked up at Alex and he was motioning for her to get up. She quietly nodded her head and did as she was told.

"Thank you Alex." She whispered before disappearing into the night.

***********

Max stormed into his apartment so mad that he couldn't even breath. How could she do this to him? She slept with someone else. She gave her all to someone else. She was pregnant by someone else. How dare she-.

"Max."

Max turned and saw a small blond standing in the doorway. Her blond curls deflated and saggy, her face dirty with grim and dirt. But what caught his attention was the little boy who stood behind her. He had brown hair with big blue eyes. He couldn't be no older than 5 years old but he looked much, much younger.

"Tess?"

Chapter 17

"Max."

"Tess?"

"I need- no we, we need your help." Tess place her hand gently on the little boy's head gently pushing him into the apartment. "Max, this is Zan, my son and we need your help."

"Is he-?"

"Yours?" Max nodded and Tess couldn't stop the chuckle from falling from her lips. "No. I made him all by myself."

"Sarcasium isn't going to get you anywhere." Max snapped.

"No, but neither will small talk." Tess closed the door behind her. "Look, we need your help but if you dont want to then I'm sure someone else will."

"Yeah right." Max chuckled angerily. "No one even likes you. Who's gonna want to help a murdering who- witch." He looked down at the little boy who was staring at him with large round eyes.

"Someone who knows what its like to want to get away, to start over. Some who knows what its like to stand on their own two feet. Someone who- well someone who will want to piss you off."

"And where are you going to this 'someone'?" Max questioned.

*******************

Liz walked up the stairs to her parents apartment with her face all teared up and dirt on her clothes. She had walked all the way home after dodging whatever and whomever was at the cemetry listening in on her and Alex talk. Alex. How he'd been there, she didn't know but she was glad he was. She was able to tell at least one person about what had happened to her.

"Just tell me you son of a bitch!" Liz's head shot up. That was Dean's voice.

"Now why you gotta bring mom into this?" Sam! She raced up the stairs and burst into the small apartment just in time to see Dean rush at Sam.

"Dean stop!" She yelled but he either didn't hear her or didn't care cause he was still running at Sam. Not caring if he knew or not, Liz used her powers to stop him mid-step. "I said stop!" She yelled running over to Sam who had crumbled to the floor. He looked as if he had gotten into a fight with the floor and lost. "God, what the hell did you two do?"

"Us? What the hell are you?" Dean snapped from his spot.

"Why are you beating on Sam?" Liz snapped back ignoring his question.

"Don't even try it Liz."

"Do what?"

"Act like you're innoccent." Liz waved her hand not realizing that she let Dean go.

"Fuck that. I didn't answer your question cause because I don't know what I am. I was human but then got shot at 16 and was brought back to life by a boy who turn bout to be an alien. But that has nothing to do with why you beat the hell out of Sam? Nothing should make you do that. Nothing!"

"Oh really cause being kept in the dark for so long nseems like a pretty fucking good reason." He snapped grabbing her by her arms.

"Let go of me." Liz whisper dangerously.

"Or what?" Dean's mouth houvered awfully low for someone who was just moments ago disgusted by her. But Liz wasn't complaining. His breath smelled like pepperment and his body was warm against her own. And it was only normal that she react to him since its been a while since she had had any.

"Or that invite for my rooftop gets moved to my bed." And all had been forgotten. What she did, what he did, Sam. Everything had been forgotten, everything but them as their lips crashed into each other. Large hands slipped from her arms as her tiny hands raced up his body to lock around his neck. Though she had to stand on the tips of her toes, it was so worth it. Feeling Dean against her, his hard frame against her soft one.

"Let's go fulfil that invite." Dean whispered into her ear making a shiver run down her spine.

"Let's- ahh." Dean lifted Liz into the air and carried her to her room.

"I'll just stay here." Sam said a he dragged himself to the couch.

***************


"Did you get all of that?" Alex called into the darkness.

"Yeah I did. I just...Alot has changed." A gruff voice spoke.

"Yeah but that's life. I mean I died and I didn't even know until you told me why."

"Well I knew that Liz would be back so...We're even."

"Michael, it wasn't your fault that Tess killed me." Then Alex shook his head. "And it isn't your fault that you followed after Liz and accidently fell in love."

"No. I guess not."

Chapter 18

Michael walked into his quiet apartment and dropped down onto his couch. Though he knew Alex was right he couldn't help but feel somewhat responsible for everything that has happened to Liz. Maybe if he had just stayed in Florida like he had planned everything that happened wouldn't have? Maybe then things would be different? Maybe then-?

"You coming to bed baby?" A soft voice asked from behind him and a second later, small tan hands made their way over his shoulders and over his chest. "Cause we missed you." One hand ran through his hair while the other lay against his chest.

"Yeah, Amber. I'm coming." He said as his own hand covered the one on his chest.

"Good." A soft kiss was left on the side of his head before the hands and warmth of the woman's body left, making Michael turn to watch her walk towards his room. She waited by his door for him and Michael didn't want to leave her waiting.

Slowly he stood and walked over to the woman who had changed his life so much over the last few years. As he reached her, he gently tucked a soft curl of brown hair behind her ear before unconiscously laying his hand on her belly before pressing his lips into her own. The hard yet soft small bulge of something amazing laying where his hand was. When they came up for air, she smiled up at him and walked into the room.

Maybe if I'd has stayed in florida just a bit longer, I would of had her a little bit sooner. Michael thought to himself as he closed his bedroom door.

**************************

Max stared at Tess with hatred in his eyes.

"None of them have left so there's no one." But even as the words left his mouth, he knew that he was wrong. Michael had left right after Liz did, though he did come back after two weeks more pissed off and distant than when he left. Maria had wanted to leave for New York as did Isabel for Califorina but he had stopped all of that. They needed to stay together and after Liz didn't return from Florida, Max had used that as his platform forcing the others to stay with him.

Tess' eyebrow rose in question. Then she turned to Zan. "Baby boy, go play in the bedroom. Mommy needs to talk to daddy." Zan nodded his head before running towards what Tess had assumed was Max's bedroom. When she was sure that her son was out of ear shot and NOT listening in, she turned to Max. "Now just because I've been gone for 5 years doesn't mean that I'm a fucking moron Max. I know what's been happening so there's no reason to treat me like an assclown."


"What do you mean you know what's been going on?"

"I know that Liz left 5 years ago. I know that Michael left but came back but has been going to Florida every other month for said 5 years. I know that Isabel is married. I even know that Kyle and Maria are still here and have been giving each other the eye but are too afraid of what both you and Michael are going to say if they actually get together." Max stood shocked.

"How do you know all of that?"

"Like I said. I'm not an idiot, Max. If anything, you shouldnt even be surprised that I know."

"And why is that?"

"Because you and me are connected. And everything that happens to you, I feel. Everything you know, I know."

Max shook his head. "No."

"No?"

"No. That's impossible."

"How?"

"Because I didn't know about Michael or Maria and Kyle." Tess shrugged.

"Well then you're either blind or you don't want to know about anything that goes against you." She wrapped her arms around her waist. "So are you gonna help me or do I have to go to someone else?"

****************************

Maria watched as Kyle sat in the livingroom talking on the phone with someone. She didn't know who it was but he was laughing so it could be anyone. Isabel? No. Her and Jessie always go to bed early for some reason. Either that or she sound proofs her apartment. Michael? No. He's been acting weirder than usual. Ever since he came back from Florida, it's been like he's on a cloud. A happy cloud where he's....happy? Maria shivered. That was weird in and of its self. And there was no way in hell that Kyle would be talking to Max cause they hated each other. So there was only one person. Liz.

Somewhere deep inside of her, Maria felt this tingle that hadn't been there since she and Kyle moved in together and he had been dating some fluzy named Jane. Jealously? Of Liz? She didn't know and she didn't want to find out. Slowly and quietly, Maria closed her bedroom door and went to bed. Maybe the tingle will go away with a little shut eye?

****************************

"They just started making out in front of you?" Kyle chuckled into the phone.

"Yeah and it was distrubing to say the least. I mean that's my brother and the girl that I think of as a sister in there doing god knows what." Sam said. Right after Liz and Dean 'retired' to her room, the phone had rung and since Sam knew neither of them heard it, he picked up. When Kyle asked about Liz, he told him what had happened, neither noticing how easy it was to talk to each other.

"At least they aren't making any noise, right?" Kyle questioned.

"Not-."

"Oh god, Dean."

"That's just wrong." Kyle and Sam said at the same time.

*************************

Liz's head hit her pillow as she and Dean finally made it to her bed. To say the ride to their destination had been fun was an understatement. They hadn't even close the door when Dean attacked her mouth. His lips were hard and passionate and Liz made sure she met him with everything she was worth. The nibbling, the biting, the sucking, everything. Forplay was a distant thought as they practically ripped off each other's clothes.

Up against the door had been hard, cold wood against her heated back as Dean pounded into her. Her legs were wrapped around his waist and her hands on the door, matching thrust after thrust. The carpet, she was sure, had given her rug burn as Dean had her from behind, his hand in her hair pulling on it whenever he wanted to. But now that they were finally on the bed, it was her turn.

Liz flipped them over and sat on top of Dean.

"Liz." He growled but she shook her head.

"No baby. It's my turn." Where the hunger in her voice came from, she had no clue but it was there and she was ready. Slowly, she pulled herself off of Dean making both of them whimper before she lowered herself back on to his ever hard shaft. In a slow and tortous movement, Liz began riding Dean, hitting his hands whenever he tried to grip onto her hips. Her rythym had them both panting. Her hands sat on his chest as levage, helping her move up, down, back and forth, faster. Faster.

Her hair touched the insides of his legs and Dean growl as he finally found his in and grabbed onto Liz's hips, controling her movement. She was about to swat his hands away but he slammed her down and her eyes popped open giving him a small satisfaction that he did that to her. When he was sure she wouldn't hit his hand away again, he began moving Liz, only this time to his speed limit but the slow torture she had endored them both to had him reaching his point of no return before her and he was not about to come without her. Lowering his hand to her clit, Dean began rubbing it until he finally felt Liz tighten around him. Glancing up, he watched as she bit her lip to stop the scream that threaten to leave her lips. The soft tint of red on her cheeks had him spilling his seed inside of her as he growled out;

"Llllliiiiiiizzzzzzzzz."

Chapter 19

The sun spilled into the room waking Dean. He blinked a few times, yawned and then reached out for Liz but hit empty space. He shot up. What the hell? Where was she? Did something get her? Did she-?

"Finally. I thought you were going to sleep the day away." Dean turned and saw Sam standing by the door with a smile on his face and a bowl of cereal in his hands. "Dude, you look like shit."

"Shut up."

"Jerk."

"Bitch." Dean reached for his boxers, then looked at Sam. "I know I got a fine ass but you watching me is both creepy and weird as hell." Then he smiled. "Samantha."

"Oh what the fuck ever. I'ma wait in the living room. Hurry up, Liz is waiting for us." That caught Dean's attention.

"Where is she?"

"Maria called because Max wanted to talk to her. She of course said no but then Kyle called and they made arrangements." Sam made quotations in the air.

"Why the hell didn't she wake me up? I could have gone with her." Dean snapped as he pulled on his boxers and then his pants.

"She did, you just didn't wanna get up." Sam smiled. "I guess she wore you out."

"Dude." Sam chuckled.

"What?"

"You sound like-."

"You?"

"So not funny."

**************************

The room they stood in was small but then again it was the basement apartment in the building Max had bought so it was fitting. Liz and Kyle stood by what could only be called a boiler. Maria, Isabel and Jesse stood by a door that had no business down her and Michael stood with a small brunette by the stair case. No one spoke, all were waiting for Max. Well, all but Liz. She stared at the brunette, who looked vaguely, if not very, familiar.

"So, what do you think this is about?" Kyle suddenly asked. It was obvious that he was trying to break the ice.

"I don't know, I mean-." Isabel started but was quickly cut off by a confused Liz.

"Do I know you?" She asked the brunette directly.

"I, um-" But she never got to finish because it was at this time that Max decided he wanted to make himself known.

"I'm glad you all came. We have-." He looked at the brunette. "Who is she and what is she doing here?"

"That's what I wanna know." Maria snapped, her arms folding over her chest. Liz took a quick glance at Kyle and saw that he was shaking his head in disbelief.

"Guys, this is Amber Rivera and she..is..my..fiance."

"What?!" Maria yelled.

"Ah, Michael I'm so happy for you." Isabel pulled him into a hug, then moved over to the brunette who was smiling like she had just won the lottery. "OH," Isabel wiped her eyes with her manicured fingertips. "Hi, I'm Isabel. I'm Michael's big sister and its so nice to meet you." Isabel stuck out her hand.

"Well its nice to meet you too, Isabel. Michael has told me so much about you." Amber shook Isabel's out stretched hand. "Actually he's told me about all of you." But then she looked at Michael and grabbed his hand. "But there's more."

"More than him having a fiance?" Maria sounded like she wanted to scream.

"Yeah, um, Amber's-."

"Don't let me rain on your parade Michael but we have lots to discuss and you becoming a father isn't one of them." Everyone turned to see Tess coming down the stairs with a little boy in her arms.
