Chapter 1

It was late, well after midnight, and Maria was kicking some stray gravel on the ground outside the motel that was her home for the night. She and her friends had been on the run from the FBI for about a month, and she was just starting to get used to the roach-motels she had to stay every night.

This whole situation was fucked up. She told Michael she would go wherever he was going, but that was not really the truth. She wasn’t following Michael anymore. Her need to stay with the group was centered on someone else, the man who had stolen her heart and held it tight in his hands.

She knew it was wrong. She had told him over and over again that they had to stop, but if there was one thing about her lover, it was that he was determined. And he always got what he wanted. Controlling didn’t even begin to describe him, and yet, Maria with all her spunk and sass, always found herself giving into him.

She had to stop. She had to muster up enough will power to say stay away from him; his talented hands, masterful mouth, and glorious cock that gave her more pleasure than she thought her body was able to take.

She walked down the side walk, next to the rooms that made up the motel. She did this nearly every time they stopped. After Michael made love to her, and fell asleep, she would sneek outside to think.

Maria was pulled out of her thoughts, by a rough arm grabbing her and pulling her into the room she was passing. A big, rough hand clasped over her mouth, to keep her from screaming. Her heart raced as she tried to figure out who held her captive and what they would do to her. “Shhh, Maria, It’s me,” Max said, as he removed his hand from her mouth and flipped on the light to the room he had pulled her in.

“What the hell did you do that for?” Maria nearly shouted as she pushed herself away from him. Her body defying what she truly wanted. She wanted to feel his heat next to her again. He was erotic, orgasmic, and she wanted him, not matter how much she tried to pretend she didn’t.

Max moved into her, a hungry look in his eyes. “I rented us a room for a few hours. I was going to get you, but I saw you and pulled you in,” he grinned at her as he lightly messaged her shoulders.

Maria had to force herself not to give into the feeling of his hands on her. “I need you,” he whispered huskily into her ear as he took the delicate lobe into his mouth and tugged sensuously on it. Maria’s eyes closed, reveling in the feeling of his mouth on her skin. Then she shook her head and pushed him off of her.

“No,” she said backing away. “We can’t. I told you when we left that this had to end.” She, of course hadn’t kept to her end of that deal. Whenever Max beckoned her, she seemed unable to deny him. And since they had been on the road, Max had reeled her into his inviting touch at least a dozen times.

“Maria, do we have to go through this again?” Max sighed exasperated. “We need each other. You need me as much as I need you, I know it. Why can’t you just give in?” he asked approaching her again.

“How about you newly pregnant wife, for starters?” she bit out. She remembered when Liz had shared her happy news with the group. Max could have at least told her himself. She looked down at the floor of the old van they traveled in, and silently wished it was SHE who was carrying Max’s child. But he had taken care of that. Every time they made love, Max used his powers to ensure that she never became pregnant. It was to much to ask him to wear a condom, but Maria never complained, because truth be told, she loved the feeling of him coming inside her.

“Maria, we’ve been through this. I didn’t MEAN to get her pregnant!” he said. He didn’t want to talk about this. Maria knew that. He wanted to get laid. Now, that wasn’t really fair. She knew Max wanted more out of her than a good fuck. He could get that from his wife, but it still hurt that no matter how much she gave him, how she satisfied him, Liz Parker was always number one in his life.

Maria’s eyes shined with unshed tears, and as Max approached her this time, she allowed him to. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and smoothed his hands down her back. “You know that I would take it back if I could. If I could do this whole thing over, we would be together forever,” Max said. He always knew how to make her break. No matter what conviction she had entering one of his intended trysts, he could always make her will crumble.

He leaned in and took Maria’s lips in his. She let her eyes slip closed as his passionate kiss over took her. Soon, she was pressed against the door, his body against her as he attacked her hungry mouth. “Maria…” he breathed against her lips. That was all it took. Whenever he said her name like that, with all the desire in the world, she was gone.

She pushed herself off the door and moved Max back to the bed, where they fell, as his knees hit the edge of it. “You know I love you, right?” Max said as he cupped her cheek. Maria looked up at him sadly and nodded. She knew he did love her, in some way. She may never be Liz Parker, but the things that Max had shared with her proved to her that he DID love her.

She remembered the first time they made love. It was just after she had broken up with Michael. Right before Christmas. It hadn’t been romantic. It was in the backseat of his Chavelle, but that night, as they lay naked and wrapped in each other, under the stars in the desert, Max opened up to her. He told her about his fears of losing his son, and being the leader. She listened as he told her how he no longer loved Liz, but that he couldn’t leave her either.

It broke her heart then just as much as it did now, but she had been careless with her heart back then. She let Max Evan’s in, and she feared now, that her heart would never be her own again.

Coming back to reality, Maria felt Max’s hands move up the front of her shirt, roughly taking a pert nipple in between his thumb and forefinger. Sometimes when they made love it was slow and passionate, and other times Maria felt Max took all his aggression out on her body. Tonight, it looked like there was something on Max’s mind because he was being considerably rougher.

“Max…” she moaned as he pulled the offending shirt off of her. She pulled his shirt off next, leaning up to capture one of his tight nipples in her mouth.

As she grazed her teeth across the puckered skin, Max’s hips bucked into her and he hissed. She could feel his thick, hard cock against her thigh and loved that she had that effect on him. “Oh god,” Max moaned as she gently cupped him through his jeans.

He attacked her mouth again, drinking her in completely, as he tugged on the waistband of her pajama pants. He pulled them off, fearing he couldn’t get them off fast enough, and soon Maria’s fingers flew over the button and zipper of his pants, finally freeing his aching cock from their confines.

Maria pushed Max back on the mattress, sitting up slightly over his erection, only hidden by the thin cotton fabric of his boxers. Her pussy was wet and aching and she rubbed her silk covered heat over his hardness for just a second before leaning back over him and kissing him with all the fire and passion she possessed. “Suck me, Maria,” Max said staring at her with lustfilled eyes.

Maria was used to direct commands from Max, and as much as she hated to admit it, she was only turned on more. If anyone else told her to suck them, she would tell them to take a flying leap, but Max could control her. He knew it, and he liked it. “Anything you want,” she whispered into his ear as she rubbed herself against him a little more. She took his bottom lip in her mouth and gently bit it, feeling a low growl escape his throat.

She moved down his body, licking an nipping his hot skin, already soaked with their sweat. As she pulled his boxers off of him, she kissed his inner thighs and his legs parted on instinct. She gently licked the tip of his raging dick before engulfing his entire mushroom head. “Oh yeah, baby,” Max moaned before he pulled her head away and sat up. She looked at him in confusion as he sat on the edge of the bed. “On your knees,” he pointed to the floor infront of his spread legs. Maria silently complied, dropping to her knees on the floor. She ran her hands up his thighs again, before descending on his beautiful cock once more.

It always took her a little time to get used to Max’s size. Michael was big, but Max was huge, and she had learned sometime in the beginning of their relationship to deep throat him. But she wasn’t moving fast enough for him, she he wrapped his fingers in her hair and pushed her head harder and faster on his cock. “Oh fuck Maria, yeah,” he groaned as he continued to fuck her mouth. Maria’s felt tears stinging her eyes as his cock jammed the back of her throat with every thrust. His hips met her mouth that he was pushing with urgency onto him, and soon he was coming deep in her throat. “Maria…” he moaned with release.

Maria drank his come up, greedily, and licked her lover clean before looking back up at him. He smiled at her and she melted, right there on the floor, happy to have please him. He opened his arms to her, and she jumped into them, kissing him lightly.

Max wasted not time before pushing Maria onto the bed, continuing their kiss. “You want me to lick you, baby?” he asked. Sweetly as he fondled her nipples and licked the skin of her neck.

“Uh huh,” Maria moaned with a nod.

Max immediately stopped his ministrations and looked at her. “Say it, Maria,” he demanded.

“Please…” she moaned with need. “Max, make me come,” she groaned, rubbing her legs together to try to alleviate the pressure building up in her aching pussy. Max seemed pleased by this, so he kissed her once more before moving his mouth down her body. He roughly took a nipple into his mouth and bit hard, causing Maria to wince, but again, she liked it.

Max moved down her stomach, dipping his tongue into her belly button before he moved further down. He hooked his fingers into the sides of her panties pulling them off of her. When he stopped touching her, Maria looked up at him and saw him staring at her newly shaved pussy, “Max?” she called to him.

“When did you do this?” Max asked almost angrily as he pointed at her clean shaven cunt.

“I…a couple of days, ago,” Maria explained.

“Why?” Max almost barked.

“Michael asked me to. He wanted to try something different,” she explained, confused at what the big deal was.

Max growled and looked at her with eyes flaring with anger and jealousy. “So, you are still fucking Michael!” he demanded.

Maria looked at him shocked. What did he expect? She began to get angry at him. “Yes, Max, I’m still fucking Michael!” she said, sitting up on her elbows. “Just like you are obviously still fucking Liz. She didn’t get pregnant bt immaculate conception,” she bet back at him.

“That is different!” Max said. “She is my wife, I HAVE TO!”

“I guess you shouldn’t have married her then,” Maria said quieter. She knew that Max would get angry with her if she said what she really felt.

But Max didn’t say anything. He wanted her, and she knew he would punish her later, but he knew that right now, he had to d his damnedest to keep her in bed. He placed his warm hand on her naked pussy, and Maria felt a tingle as the neatly trimmed triangle of hair he was used to appeared. “Max, Michael is going to notice…” she started, but when he shot her a warning look, she shut up.

Max tore his eyes away from her as he moved back down the bed so that his face was right in front of her dripping wet sex. He pushed her legs far apart to get a good look at the sweet cunt he loved so much. His tongue darted out and he licked her wet folds. “Max!” Maria moaned, as he hips came off the bed.

Max still his motions until she was under control and then continued to lover he with his mouth. He licked her clit with his tongue. He gently eased two fingers into her, and Maria threw her head back as he fucked her with his fingers. “Max, right there,” she groaned, needing him to lick her more, harder, faster, she didn’t know.

Max sucked her clit as he entered a third finger into her tight pussy and stimulated her g-spot. “Fuck YEAH! MAXXXXXXXXXX!” she moaned loudly as she came hard around his thick fingers. He licked her clean and moved up her body.

He took her chin in his hand and turned her face to look at him. “You know that I have to punish you, right,” he said indicating the way she had talked to her ‘king.’ She nodded with arousal. His punishment turned her on no matter how much she tried to deny it to herself.

He roughly picked her up, and she assumed to position. She got on her hands and knees with her ass high in the air, ready for him. Max moved in behind her and smacked her ass hard. “You know why I’m punishing you, Maria?” he asked as if he were talking to a child. Maria didn’t dare say anything so he continued. “Because you have been a dirty little slut. Shaving your pussy, that belongs to me, for Michael. But I wont be too hard on you. I know that in order to keep our relationship a secret,” he said punctuating his last word with another slap, “You have to keep him satisfied.

Maria tried to suppress a moan as Max spanked her again. The warm tingles that his bare hand sent through her system, only caused her cum soaked pussy to become even wetter. Max stopped spanking her and began running his finger between the crack of her ass. “Michael ever ask you if he can fuck you in your sweet ass?” Max asked sweetly.

Maria turned her head over her shoulder and nodded her head yes. “And what do you say, Maria?” Max asked.

“No,” Maria answered honestly.

“Why do you say, no?” Max further asked. Maria knew he was reminding her that this rite was specifically reserved for him.

“Because you are the only one who can fuck me there,” she moaned, wanting him to fuck her and stop teasing her.

“What do you tell him when he asks why he can’t fuck you there?” Max asked out of pure curiosity.

Maria gulped and said, “I told him that he is too big, and it will hurt,” she answered honestly.

Max sneered. He leaned over and draped his body over hers, letting his hard cock rest on the wet fold of her pulsating pussy. His hand went up around her ribcage to fondle her having breasts. “But who has the bigger cock, baby?” he asked, sweetly.

Maria sighed at the feeling of him so close to her, “Y…You do,” she answered. Max smiled at her and kissed her cheek.

“Good, girl,” he said as he sat back up and spread her ass cheeks. He entered a finger into her ass and Maria moaned, anticipating him buried deep in her ass. She loved feeling him there, and knowing that he, and only he had experienced sex with her there, she felt closer to him.

Before he could position himself where she wanted him, she turned around, and with big hopeful eyes she looked at him and said, “Do you ever fuck Liz like this?” she asked.

Max’s features softened as she leaned into her once more, taking her lips in his. He kissed her nose and cheek before saying, “No. I save this for you, and only you,” he answered honestly. She smiled and turned back around waiting for him to enter her tight ass. He placed his cock at her entrance and with the help of some alien powers he lubed himself and slid into her slowly.

“Oh fuck,” Maria moaned throwing her head back. He long hair brushing his shoulder’s slightly.

“You like that, baby?” Max asked as he pulled almost all the way out before plunging back into her.

“Yess…” she hissed, “Fuck me harder,” she moaned as she pushed herself back into him, trying to take more of his long thick cock into her body.

Max obliged as he thrust hard in and out of her. He saw her move her hand to cup her own heat and just before she could make it to her clit, he took both of her hands into his and placed them over her head against the headboard. “Nope, you can’t touch yourself,” he grunted as he continued to thrust in her, one hand on her at the head board and the other digging in to her hip. “Fuck you are so tight,” he groaned as he felt himself ready to come.

She was convulsing under him, “I’m…I’m gonna…cum!!!” she groaned, bucking harder into him as her body convulsed around him, her tight ass squeezing him until he tumbled over the edge with her.

“Fuck MARIA! Oh GOD!” he grunted, spilling his seed deep inside her fluttering ass. They collapsed on the bed together as Max let go of her hands and they breathed heavily for several moments.

As their breathing evened out, Maria looked at Max with longing. She wanted him to fuck her pussy so bad she could taste it. This who act wouldn’t be complete until he was fucking her where her body needed him the most. He looked into her eyes and smiled. “You want me to fuck you now?” he asked, already knowing the answered. He wanted it to. Nothing compared to Maria’s slick walls around his cock.

Maria nodded and Max grinned at her. “You have to beg me for it,” he said evily.

Maria figured as much and she got on her knees and begin pumping Max’s already simi-hard cock as she said, “Max, please fuck my pussy. I want you to come deep inside me. Please. I’ll do anything, just fuck me,” she begged, as she felt Max’s cock stiffen to full size.

“That’s a good girl,” he said kissing her softly. He pushed her against the mattress and settled between her legs. He placed his hand on her abdomen and she felt the familiar tingle of him blocking her ability to become pregnant, and while is saddened her, her need was too much.

Max kissed her hard as he took his dick in his hands and placed his at her entrance. He thrust into her hard and deep and Maria moaned at the contact. “Max you feel so good inside me,” she breathed out as he pulled back, just to thrust into her again.

“You’re so wet, baby. I’m glad I make you this wet,” he groaned, speeding up his thrusts. Every so often he would pull all the way out and aim him self to go back in. he knew that sent Maria over the edge, as much as it did him.

“Max….” Maria growled as she met him thrust for thrust. “Fuck! Harder,” she pleaded.

Max fucked her harder, ramming into with all his force. If he tried this with Liz, she would probably break, but Maria was ready, willing, and able to take whatever abuse his cock inflicted. She even begged for more. “Maria, oh fuck,” Max moaned kissing her again.

“Max I’m so fucking close, right there…oh yeah… uh huh!” she moaned bucking into them as they moved at a break neck speed. “FUCK MAX!!!!!!!!!!!” she nearly screamed as she came again.

“Maria, fuck…Oh god! I love you,” he belted as he spilled his seed deep within her. He collapsed on top of her and as he began to move out, Maria stopped him.

“Just stay inside me a little longer,” she said hopefully. He smiled and kissed her.

“Ok, baby,” he said.

Finally, the moment was over and he withdrew from her. She smiled at the though of him professing his love for her as he came, but it wasn’t like it was the first time. He had said it many times. Even when they weren’t making love, that didn’t seem to change anything though.

“Max, we have to stop this,” Maria said as he wrapped his arms around her. She almost wanted to laugh at herself. She said that every time. She always intended to stop it. She meant to stop it after that first night, but when she said it was over after Graduation, she had been serious. The problem was that she couldn’t stop. Max never had to try to hard to get her to come to him. He was an addiction that she needed to quit, but she just couldn’t.

“Maria, lets not talk about it.” Max answered as she kissed her shoulder tenderly.

Chapter 2

Maria woke up the next morning in Michael’s arms. After she and Max cuddled, and talked, like they always did, she returned to the room she shared with him, and when she got into bed, he had wrapped his arms around her, as if he never knew she was gone.

She looked at the clock and noticed it was 8:00. It was time for them to get up and ready for the driving ahead of them She stretched and rolled out of bed, feeling the aches and pains of rough sex with Max, the night before. Whenever they had rough sex, she felt like that, and some sick part of her loved it. She loved feeling her sore muscles and thinking back to what caused them.

Michael had woken up as well and smiled at her. She smiled back and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. She reveled in the warm water hitting her skin. She just stood there, under the shower head for a few minutes before she started to wash herself.

As she looked down at her body, she noticed that all the marks Max had made on her last night were gone. The hair he had grown between her legs was there, but he had healed all the hickeys, scratches, and bruises. All, that is, but one. There was a light bruise on her hip, where she remembered his thumb held her down as he fucked her. She lightly ran her fingers over the mark, smiling at the thought of Max making love to her.

She remembered the task at hand, and that Michael needed the shower as well, so she finished, and wrapped a towel around her, freeing the bathroom for Michael.

When he was finished, they headed out to the van. Michael had his arm around her waist, and she was standing close to him. As they approached the van, Max’s head snapped up and he looked at them both. A heated glare spread across his face as he saw Michael’s arms around Maria. It was always like this. He was jealous, Maria knew that, and she loved it. Yep, she was one sick pup, but to tell the truth, it made her feel better knowing that Max was just as jealous of Michael as she was of Liz.

As she watched him, Max pulled Liz to him and kissed her, keeping his eyes on Maria. That pissed her off. He was toying with her. Two could play at that game. She gently pushed Michael’s head down and kissed him, softly, before deepening the kiss. Max wanted to play, she was game.

“We’ve got to get on the road.” Max said roughly, throwing the driver’s side door open. No way was he going to watch Michael tongue fuck his girl’s mouth. Isabel and Kyle joined he group last, and Maria noticed that she two seemed to be getting closer. She smiled to herself, knowing that she would have to talk to Isabel later.

Max drove all the way until lunch, and finally pulled over to a truck stop. Maria hated these truck stops, but it was better than being in the van, and she could stretch her legs. Besides, Michael had a tendency to smother her, as he was always sitting so close to her and touching her. She couldn’t blame him. How was he to know that she had moved on?

Maria sat down at a table as Michael went to get the food. Max slid in, directly across from her and looked at her intensely. Kyle was next to her, Liz across from him, and Isabel and Michael sat at the end of the table.

Maria looked back into Max’s eyes. She loved the way she could look at him, and know what he was feeling. As closed off as he tried to be, he could never hide anything from her. Just as Maria was beginning to feel like she was going to punch Liz if she mentioned the damn baby one more time, she felt Max’s foot, free from his sandals, slid up her leg. She was wearing short shorts, and she could feel his skin against her leg. It was all she could do, not to throw her head back and moan.

She saw a wicked grin spread across his face as he moved his leg higher and higher. His foot was making its way inside the bottom of her shorts, and moving to her now wet heat. Maria knew she should stop this. She knew that they were moving into dangerous territory. But as Liz babbled on about the joys of being pregnant, Maria couldn’t move. Finally, Max’s toes were where she needed them, and he moved them back and forth over her wet pussy. She watched him closely, and she could tell he was surprised to find that she wasn’t wearing any underwear. He gulped, and she sat up straighter moving out of his reach.

It was as if she had come back to reality. She couldn’t do this. Definitely not here. She got up and excused herself, flustered and headed to the bathroom. Max waited just a second before announcing that he has to use the bathroom as well. It is so easy. No one seems to care. So, he got up and moved back toward the restrooms. He spotted Maria, just before she was walking in the women’s room and he pulled her back to him, letting her smooth back lean against his muscular front. He could have sworn she moaned, and he loved it.

He pulled her into the men’s bathroom and locked the door behind them, pushing Maria against the door. He needs her. He always needs her. Maria DeLuca is an itch that he can’t help but scratch. He loved everything about her. And as he stared down at her ‘fuck-me’ lips, he couldn’t stop crashing his own into them. She let go, as she always did and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Max…” she breathed.

Every time she said his name he immediately got hard. It didn’t matter when or in what context, her saying his name was an aphrodisiac. “Maria…” he breathed back as he felt her grind herself into him. He wanted to fuck her, then and there, but he knew it wasn’t the place. They didn’t have the time. “I love you,” he said, and he meant it. He did love Maria, and he felt like an ass for getting Liz pregnant. He felt like an ass for staying with Liz at all, but what could he do? He thought Liz was on the pill, and he had an eerie feeling that she had purposely gotten pregnant. And there was also the fact that he felt drawn to Liz. He had brought her into this life, how could he possibly leave her. But it was fact that he only had sex with Liz, when he had to, to look like he wasn’t cheating.

“I love you too, Max,” she said, and he knew she was telling him the truth. Maria was the kind of person that loved with her whole heart, and he knew that her heart belonged to him. “I need you,” she moaned grinding harder into his thick cock, trapped in his jeans.

Max leaned in and kissed her again as he begin unbuttoning her shorts. She returned the favor by starting on his belt. As Max stuck his hands down Maria’s shorts he whispered huskily into her ear, “Where are you’re panties?”

Maria grinned at him. “You never cleaned them last night. They were all come soaked.” She groaned, trying to push herself into his hand that was now cupping her heat, but he kept far enough away from her so he could tease her. She sighed in frustration, “Besides, I like going commando, it makes me wetter than I already am,” she groaned, silently begging him to touch her.

She finally freed his cock, as she got control over her emotions and she tightly wrapped her hand around it. She tugged hard and Max gasped, “You like that, baby?” she groaned as she fetl him finally rub his thick fingers over her aching pussy.

“Oh yeah, Maria.” He groaned as she continued to pump him with great force. She loved eliciting moans out of him. It made her so much wetter, and Max could feel it. “You like fucking me with your hand?” he asked. He already knew the answer. He knew exactly what Maria liked. He knew she liked being spanked. He knew she loved his when he fucked her hard in the ass. She would never admit it, but he knew.

“Yes…” she hissed. Max entered a finger into her tight body and watched as her eyes slipped shut. He knew how to touch her too. He bet Michael couldn’t make her come like he could. To get a better angle, Max lifted Maria into his free arm and pushed her against the door. She wrapped her legs around his waist as she continued to pump him, and he continued to fuck her with his amazing fingers.

He entered another one into her, and she groaned, “Fuck yes…don’t stop,” she begged, knowing he wouldn’t anyway. She was fucking him hard with her hand, and she could feel him needing release as much as she did. She removed her hand from him for only a second, and she thought he might cry out in pain. She licked her hand seductively, and wrapped it once more around his cock.

“Oh fuck yeah, Maria…that feels so good, baby,” he groaned as she jerked him off with her now lubed hand.

Max couldn’t wait much longer. He knew he was going to come, and so, as he fucked her with three fingers, he lightly pressed his thumb into her clit. “Oh god…right there…oh yeah…fuck… MAX!” she groaned, as he drowned out her sounds with his mouth, taking them into himself. As he felt her pussy contract around his fingers, he let go and came hard into her hand.

“Maria…oh fuck!” he moaned into her mouth. Finally he set Maria down, both of them dazed and weak. Maria stands on shaky legs as Max holds her close to him. He kisses her deeply on the lips, lightly pulling the bottom one in his mouth.

“Max, we probably ought to get out of here,” Maria said, finally returning to the present. She kissed him again, allowing his hot, tasty tongue to explore her mouth for just a second.

“I know, baby.” He said sadly. He didn’t want to go back out there. He would stay in the truck stop all day to be with her, but he knew he couldn’t, so he helped her redress, dressing himself as well, and cleaned his cum off of her and their clothes. “You go out first, then I’ll wait and come out,” he said kissing her nose. IT was an act that always left her weak in the knees. It was so cute, and so something Michael would never do.

********

It was now nighttime, and the group had been driving all day. Max turned to the group and said, “Hey, I think it’s time to pull over, but there aren’t any hotels around, so it looks like we are going to have to stay in the van,” he said. He was none too please about it either, but he knew they had too. He wanted maria alone again, so he could finish what they had started. A handjob, while nice, was no where near enough for him.

Michael growled under his breath. Looked like he wasn’t getting laid tonight either. Maria internally rolled her eyes at him. She wasn’t sure she was even going to sleep with him tonight. Why did he assume that if they stopped she was going to lay down and take it? Oh that’s right, because she did. Because she had no backbone when it came to Michael Guerin.

Everyone made their way to the back of the van, laying on the floor to get comfortable. Michael laid by the back door, then Maria, then Max, then Liz, then Isabel, then Kyle. Max made sure he laid next to Maria, when Liz tried, he quickly moved into the spot she was gunning for.

“Night everyone,” Liz’s overly cheery voice said. Maria could just smack the shit out of her. Smug bitch.

Michael had been holding Maria, but as he fell asleep, he soon turned on his side to face the door. Max listened closely for everyone’s breathing to even out. He knew Michael and Liz were asleep because Michael was lightly snoring, and Liz was clinging to him as she mumbled in her sleep. He heard no sounds from Isabel and Kyle and he ventured to look at them. Yep, they were asleep too.

He was so close to Maria, and he wanted to touch her. The way they were all piled up in the back, everyone nearly had to spoon, so he turned around to face Maria, who had her back to him. He smiled as he moved closer to her, until finally his body was pressed firmly into her’s. Liz still clung to him, but to tell the truth, Liz was the last thing on his mind as he felt Maria lean back into his body.

Maria could feel Max’s erecting pocking her in the ass, and she had to suppress a moan, wanting him to fuck her so bad with that huge cock of his. It was right were she wanted it, but there were too many clothes and too many people.

Max leans into Maria slowly and pushed her hair off her face. “I love you, baby,” he whispers and Maria melts, yet again. She leans into him further and takes his hand in hers. She guides it up her body, stopping at her breasts where he lightly tweeked her nipples and moving it up to her mouth. She kissed his palm lightly, showing her own love for him and then moved his hand back down her body, pushing it into her pants slightly.

Max grinned against the skin of her neck as he pushed his hand further into her pants. Maria raised her leg slightly to give him more access to her. He slid his fingers in to her wet pussy, brushing her clit with every thrust he made. He had to be careful, he didn’t want to wake anyone, so his thrusts were smooth and soft, but the way he was touching her clit, was quickly sending her over the edge.

He knew it, and he also knew it was turning her one to have him finger fuck her while she was 2 inches from Michael and Liz. Fuck, it turned Max on as well. He was gently pushing his jean clad cock into the crack of her ass, and every time she squirmed wit delight as the things his fingers were dong to her pussy, she would rub him. The whole scene was so exotic, he knew he was going to come right in his pants.

As he felt her orgasm approaching, Max slid his other hand underneath her and around to her mouth. He roughly placed his large hand over her mouth, knowing that she needed to stay quiet. Her breath was coming out in shallow pants, and she bucked back into him as she came, biting his hand as her pussy seductively milked his fingers.

Her movements as she came, sent Max over the edge as well, and he came into his jeans, biting the back of Maria’s shoulder in order to suppress his own moan. Maria’s breath was still ragged as Max used his powers to clean himself off, and heal both the bit mark on Maria’s shoulder and the one she left on his hand. He snuggled closer into her, without actually wrapping his arms around her and they fell asleep feeling the heat of each other’s bodies next to them.

Chapter 3

The next couple of days, the gang continued to move slowly across America. Isabel was driving now, and Kyle was sitting shot-gun as Max, Michael, Maria, and Liz sprawled out in the back of the van. She laid her head in Michael’s lap and tried to sleep as she watched Liz hang all over Max.

They were married, it was natural for them to be so close, she tried telling herself. Nothing really worked though. Jealousy was coming off her in waves, and while she could block those feelings from Michael, Max could still feel her. He looked up at her, and caught her eyes in his. They could always speak with their eyes.

He smiled slightly at her, not enough that anyone else would notice, but his loving eyes, sent soothing relief throughout her body. She looked back at him, looking into his soul. Their gaze on each other was so intense that if someone were actually paying attention to the two of them, they would know that Max and Maria shared something that could not be explained. Deeper and deeper they gazed into each other. She loved him so much that it hurt, and she wanted him to know that.

Suddenly, his voice sounded in her head *I know you love me, baby. I love you too.* Maria’s eyes went wide. Did she just hear Max talking to her? That couldn’t be right. She was beginning to freak out, though to the outside world, everything looked normal.

*You heard me.* Max said back to her. He was just as surprised as she was. He didn’t know how, but they were talking to each other with their minds.

*Oh My God! Max, what is going on?* Maria asked, damn near hysterical.

*Maria, Maria, CALM DOWN! I don’t know how this happened. We must have…connected or something,* Max answered her back.

Maria began to calm down slightly, *Can you do this with Liz?* She couldn’t help but ask.

*No,* Max said simply. A smile played across Maria’s lips at that point. She shared something with Max that Liz did not. *You know, this could be helpful to us* Max said smiling again. *We can talk to each other without the others knowing.*

Maria nodded, before she could stop her physical reaction. Michael, half asleep felt her head move on his lap, and ran his fingers through her hear, mumbling something happily to her. Max glared at his once friend and then turned back to Michael, *You almost got us caught.* He said coolly.

Maria glared back at him, *Sorry,* She answered, not happy with the tone he was using with her. *I’m new to this whole thing. It isn’t like Michael knows what the hell is going on.* she replied.

Max calmed down and relaxed. *You are right,* he said, *I just hate seeing him put his hands on you. It isn’t fair that he can touch you whenever he wants to, and I can’t.*

Maria sighed, internally, and then said, *Well, how do you think it makes me feel to know that the man I love is married to someone else? That she can sleep with him, and hold him, and kiss him whenever she wants to. She is having your baby, the family that I dream about sharing with you, is all hers.* Maria said trying to maintain a hold on her emotions.

Max wanted to reach over and touch her so badly. He wanted to pull her into his arms and comfort her. He felt terrible for what his relationship was doing to Maria. He wanted to go back to happier times. They were still sneeking around, but they were happy, carefree, and reckless. He would do anything to go back to that time. *I’m sorry, baby,* he sent back to her.

*I know,* she said. She knew he was sorry, but that didn’t offer her much comfort, except for the fact that she knew he loved her.

*Baby, you remember our first night together?* Max asked, wanting to use their special connection for something ore enjoyable.

Maria smiled slightly and said, *Yeah.*

Their minds went back to that night. The first night the spent with each other. IT had been unexpected for both of them, but they cherished it all the same.

-It was a cool night in Roswell. It was about a week before Christmas, and Maria had been sitting in her house, trying to avoid Michael. He had called her probably a hundred times since she broke up with him. He was trying to show her that he cared about her dreams. The thing was, that when she told him she had lost herself in their relationship, she wasn’t being completely honest. The truth was, she just didn’t love Michael anymore.

She decided to go out to the desert to think. She needed to get out of the house, and she needed to get some fresh air. She drove out to the same place she always went when she needed to think. The group used to meet there because it was somewhat hidden, and no one ever came out there.

She turned off the car and got out, laying on top of her hood, she crossed her arms behind her head, and sighed heavily. Everything had just gotten so fucked up. She jumped into this relationship with Michael, wanting and needing love. She had never felt love before, and when Michael finally gave it to her, she realized she didn’t want it anymore. Or maybe she didn’t want it from him.

Lost in thought, she saw headlights coming toward her. Who the hell could that be? No one ever came out here, now when she needed to think people decided it was time to check out the cliffs? She squinted her eyes and looked up at the car that was coming right up next to hers. She was surprised to see Max’s Chevelle, with him in it. “What are you doing here?” she called out. She wasn’t upset. If there was anyone she was willing to see, it was Max.

He got out of the car and smiled at her. “I could ask you the same thing,” he laughed. “It’s took cold for you to be out here,” he said reaching into the back of his car and bringing out a leather jacket. He wrapped it around her arms and she smiled back at him.

“Oh it isn’t that bad. I just had to get out of the house and the incessant ringing of the phone,” she chuckled.

“Michael?” Max asked, already knowing the answer. He had to LIVE with Michael right now, and that was not something that he was cherishing. He almost wished he could go back home…almost. Besides, with his new found obsession with Maria, hearing Michael droan on about their relationship was about to make him scream.

“You know it,” she sighed.

“Wanna talk about it?” Max asked, sitting next to her on the hood of her car. She scooted back and so did he, until they were leaning back against the windshield of her Jetta.

“I…it’s just…” she wasn’t sure she could tell Max was she was thinking. Michael was his friend, his brother.

“Maria, you can tell me anything,” he said as if he was reading her mind. He cared a great deal for Maria, and he hated to see he like this.

As Max swung his arm over Maria’s shoulder and pulled her into him, she sighed, feeling comfortable for the first time in months, “He’s suffocating me,” she finally said, “I know that I always wanted him to commit, but when he did, it was just too much. I realized that I don’t love him. I only THOUGTH I did.” Maria explained.

Max couldn’t help the fact that he was happy to heard those words come out of Maria’s mouth. He held her close to him. “I’m sorry, Maria.” He said.

“I’m not,” Maria replied looking up at him. “I’m just sorry that I didn’t realize it before, and I’m sorry that Michael can’t move on,” she said. Max looked back at her and smiled sympathetically.

Then he saw it, in her eyes. Maria was looking at him the way he had wanted her to since the summer Liz left. Slowly, before he could talk himself out of it, he leaned in and kissed her. Maria was surprised for a moment before giving into her desires and returning his kiss. Her hands went to his face, cupping it and bringing it closer to her own. He slipped his tongue in her mouth and was immediately flooded with flashes. He saw Maria sitting at home, thinking about him and Michael. Going over her confused feelings for both of them. He saw her pleasuring herself, as she called out his name. He saw her making love to Michael, but feeling that she was detached. Her mind on something else. What? He didn’t know.

Maria was hit with the flashes as well. She saw Max, the summer after his destiny was revealed, watching her as she waited on patrons at the Crashdown. He looked at her with desire and longing in his heart. Then she saw him sitting with Tess in the park. He kept thinking about how much he wished he could talk to Maria instead. She saw him making love to Tess because he was frustrated with how close Maria and Michael had gotten after Alex’s death.

Maria broke away from Max, and looked at him through shocked eyes. “What was that?” she breathed.

“That was a flash,” Max said with a laugh.

She laughed at him, “No, I mean the kiss.” She said, hopping he would kiss her again.

“I think you know,” Max said as he leaned in a kissed her again. Maria couldn’t help herself, she wanted this too much. She pulled him down on top of her. He pushed the leather jacket off her shoulders as Maria moved her hands up his body, feeling him shiver under her.

“Cold?” she asked looking at him.

“No, it’s you,” he said capturing her lips in his again. He moved his hands up the front of her shirt and cupped her lace covered breasts.

“Max…” she breathed, as he kissed his way down her neck. “What are we doing?” she asked.

“I want you so bad,” he nearly moaned. “Can you honestly say you don’t want this?” he asked seriously, looking up at her with so much intensity, she shuddered.

“No, I want you too,” she admitted. “I’ve wanted you for so long,” she said as she pulled his lips back to hers. She couldn’t get enough of his kisses, but as he pressed her further into the hood, to feel more of her body against his, she winced. “Can we move this to the car? The hood is doing nothing for my back,” she laughed.

Max smiled at her adoringly as he moved off her and took her hand in his. She followed him to the Chevelle and before he opened the door, she pushed him up against the side of the car, plastering her body to his. She kissed him deeply as she lifted his shirt as high as she could and he removed it the rest of the way. Her fingers moved lightly over his hard chest and abs, as she grinned, saying, “Wow, work out much, Max?” she laughed.

“You don’t like it?” he asked, cocking an eyebrow at her. Instead of answering him, she attacked him mouth once more and reveled in the feeling of his hands moving fown her chest, unbuttoning her own shirt as he went. “God, Maria, you are so beautiful,” he breathed against her neck.

“You going to open the car?” she asked, rubbing herself against his aching cock.

“You keep distracting me,” he quipped, kissing her lightly before moving away from her to open the door. He let her in the back seat before joining her. The top was down, so they had plenty of room, and not a second after Maria sat down, Max was all over her again.

His touch was more sensual than Michael’s. He was rough and forceful, but instead of fumbling through foreplay to get to sex, he took his time exploring her body, inch by inch, and she did the same. Soon she felt his hands on the front of her jeans. He gently rubbed her through the denim, but no matter how much she arched into him, she couldn’t feel enough of him.

She took the bull by the horns, so to speak, and reached down, unsnapping her pants and pulled down the zipper. If he didn’t get the idea, than he was an alien idiot. Max looked up and her and smiled before delving his hand inside her pants and down the front of her thong. “Mmmm,” she moaned at the first contact of his skin against her wet pussy.

“Maria, you feel so good,” Max moaned. He had never felt a woman like this. He’d only had sex one time, and it had been just that, sex. No foreplay, nor caring caresses, nothing.

Maria wanted to touch him as well, so she quickly unzipped his jeans as well, and pushed them down his hips. She reached into his boxers an grabbed ahold of his large cock and wrapped her nimble fingers around it. “Yes…” he groaned, bucking into her hand.

She pumped him a few times, as he reached further into her heat before she broke the intense kiss they had been locked in. “Max, I need you,” she groaned.

He looked into her eyes and nodded. He helped her completely take her jeans off and then pulled the thong off of her, throwing both articles of clothing in the front seat. She returned the favor, and then they were laying there, Max on top of her completely naked. All thoughts of the cold air were gone as both of their bodies were quickly over heating.

Maria spread her legs for Max to settle between them, “Please Max, make love to him,” she nearly begged. He wanted this more than anything in the world. Had wanted it for over a year, and he didn’t need to be asked twice.

He placed his hand over her stomach and used his powers to make sure she didn’t get pregnant. “What…What are you doing?” Maria asked.

Max kissed her lightly, “Just making sure we don’t make any little Max’s and Maria’s before we are ready,” he said flashing her another charming smile that always made her weak in the knees. She smiled at him and pulled him down on top of her. She kissed him deeply, wrapping her arms tightly around him, as his hands moved seductively up and down her sides.

“Please, make love to me, I need you,” she groaned pushing her wet pussy into his aching cock.

“Oh god, Maria,” Max moaned, his eyes rolling into the back of his head. He quickly took his dick into his hands and moved it to her entrance. Slowly, he sank into her, concentrating on the feeling of her wet walls hugging him tightly. “Fuck, Maria, you are so tight,” he groaned.

“Mmmm, Max, fuck me,” she moaned feeling just how big he was as he fully sheathed himself into her. Max pulled out almost all the way before plunging back into her. “Yes…” she hissed holding onto him tight.

“MMm, yeah, Maria…” he grunted, picking up his pace. He knew he was about to blow, and he felt like an asshole. He wanted to last. “Maria, baby, I’m about to lose it…I’ve just wanted this for so long,” he tried to explain in between grunts.

“It’s ok. Me too, just fuck me,” she begged, pulling him even closer to her. He thrust in and out of her with so much force that the car rocked back and forth. “MMm Yeah!” Maria moaned wrapping her legs around him.

“Fuck, Maria…Shit!” he groaned as he reached between them to flick her clit. He couldn’t hold on much longer.

“Right there, yes…oh GOD FUCK!” Maria screamed as she came hard around his pulsing cock.

Her contracting walls sent him over the edge and he growled her name as he came deep inside of her. They both laid there, trying to catch their rapid breath. Maria looked into Max’s eyes and smiled, but then thought about what they had just done. “Of fuck!” she cried.

“What, what’s wrong?” he asked, alarmed. He was afraid he hurt her.

“Oh my god, what did we just do?” She said pushing him up and off of her. She couldn’t believe she had just had sex with Max. He was her best friend (or ex-best friends) boyfriend.

Max looked at her sad. “You…you regret it?” he asked.

Maria looked at him and saw the sadness in his eyes. It almost made her cry. “No,” she said quickly. “I wanted that more than anything, but you are with Liz, and Michael is still hung up on me. You guys are like brothers. I just…we probably shouldn’t have done that.” She said losing some of her resolve as she looked at him.

“Maria, we both want this. I have strong feelings for you that I’ve been hiding, and I know from the flashes you do to.” He said cupping her cheek, “I have to stay with Liz, because after all is said and done, she needs me and I brought her into this life, but I don’t want to give you up.”

Maria sighed. She should be pissed. Max was getting to have his cake and eat it too, but no amount of will could stop her from wrapping her body around his and snuggling into him. Max used his powers to cover them with a blanket as they spent the next 3 hours talking.

Max told her how he was still getting visions from his son, and how Liz was pushing him to forget them. He told h er his frustrations about being put in the role of leader when no one would listen to him.

They talked about their feelings and Maria’s heart sang when Max told her he was falling for her. She returned the sentiment, and they talked more before they finally fell asleep in each other’s arms.-

Maria and Max came back to reality as Isabel asked, “Max are we getting a room tonight?”

Max looked up at her, a grin playing over his gorgeous features. “We are most defiantly getting a room tonight,” he said as he looked back at Maria, who was the only one still awake in the back.

*I take it you have something planned,* Maria sent to him. What was the point in denying the fact that she wanted him at this point.

*Oh yeah, it’s been too long since I was buried deep inside you,* Max replied to her in his head. She smiled and then rested her head back on Michael’s knee.

TBC…

Chapter 4

“Mmm, Yeah!” Michael groaned as he came inside Maria. His large frame falling lightly on top of her. He quickly rolled off of her and wrapped his arms around her, tightly. “That was awesome, baby.” He smiled, his eyes already heavy with sleep.

Maria smiled back at him and watched as he fell into a deep sleep, as he did every time they had sex, even when she was doing all the work on top.

Not two minutes later, Maria heard Max’s voice in her head, *Maria, meet me outside,* he said.

Maria smiled and gently unlatched herself from Michael’s embrace. She through on her jeans and a tee-shirt and made her way out the door. She saw Max standing outside the room he shared with Liz, and smiled at him. He motioned for him to follow her, and around to the back of the motel, Max used his powers to open an empty room.

Maria followed him willingly, and once they are inside the safety of the room, Max pushed her against the door and kissed her passionately. “Mmm,” Maria moaned into him.

Max pulled back and cupped her cheek, looking into her eyes. “We need to work on controlling our connection,” he said breathless at her beauty.

“What?” Maria asked, confused.

“I heard you,” Max said sadly. “I heard your thoughts while you were with Michael.” He explained.

“You mean…” Maria said in shock, realizing that he had heard them having sex. “I’m sorry, but if you heard my thoughts, then you know that I was picturing you while I was with him,” she said gently brushing Max’s hair out of his face.

Max smiled at her and nodded, “Yes, I know,” he said kissing her lightly on the lips. “And you don’t know how happy that makes me. I do the same thing with Liz, it’s just that I think we need to block the connection at times like that. It is just too hard,” he said honestly. “It was all I could do not to barge in and rip him apart.”

Maria chuckled lightly, “Well, I’m new to all of this, so I don’t know how I’m going to do that, but we will figure it out,” she said running her hands up and down Max’s back. He smiled at her, and kissed her again, only this time with such intensity, it was like she could feel every cell in his body.

“Max…” she breathed as she pushed his shirt off of him. He kissed her collarbone, and it was as if he was kissing his own flesh. He could feel how she was feeling at that moment. “Max, can you feel that?” Maria asked, confused.

“Yeha, baby I can feel it,” he said in awe as he lifted her shirt off of her body. As she scraped her nails down his chest, she felt it on her own chest. “I don’t know what is going on,” Max admitted.

“I don’t care, it feels too good,” Maria moaned as she arched into his hands. Max deflt removed her bra and latched onto a pert nipple. He gasped as he felt the sensation of wetness on his own nipple. “Oh Max,” Maria groaned as she reached down and cupped his erection. “Fuck me, I want you to fuck me.” She moaned with need.

Max let her nipple go and quickly rid her of her pants and him of his. “I love you so much,” he groaned before picking her up in his arms and pushing her against the wall. She immediately wrapped her legs around him and held him to her tight.

“You know I love you too,” she said almost out of breath with her desire. As Max kissed her once more, she reached between them and took firm grasp of his aching cock. “Mmm,” She groaned as she placed it at her entrance. Max immediately thrust into her with full force. “Yes…” she hissed reveling in the feeling of him filling her to the hilt.

“Oh God, Maria, I’ve missed this,” he breathed between ragged breaths. It had been almost a week since he had, had a chance to be alone with her, and he missed it more than anything. He quickly pulled almost all the way out of her before plunging right back in. The sensations of their new bond were coursing through his body, and he could hardly stay standing, but as he pumped in and out of her with great force, he knew he was home.

‘Fuck, Max, harder,” Maria groaned, the most amazing things going on in her body. It was like she could feel his arousal and her own, all at the same time. They were sharing the experience, and she loved every minute of it. Not once had sex ever been this intense.

“Oh God, Maria,” Max groaned, as he speed up. He was now forcefully banging Maria’s body into the wall. But she felt none of that. All her attention was on the pleasure he was giving her, and she was in turn giving him. “Fuck,” Max cried fucking her even faster.

“Max, that feels so…oh FUCK!” she cried. She loved the beating her body was taking. The hard wall was bruising her back and she loved it, wanted more of it. She wondered if Max could feel the beating her back was taking.

“Yeah, baby I can feel it,” he said before she even opened her mouth.

His words dent her over the edge as she screamed, “Fuck, yeah baby, oh fuck yeah!” he pussy clamped down on his thrusting cock and as her walls tightened around his he shot his come deep inside her. “Oh God, Baby!” he nearly growled.

They slid down the wall together, no longer able to hold themselves up. That entire session of love making had been beyond intense. They had reached a new level of intimacy. They could feel what each other were feeling. It was a connection neither of them had experienced. *That was so…amazing,* Maria said in her head to Max.

*I know,* he replied kissing her. Slowly his picked her up in his arms and carried her over to the bed. “Now, lets do this the way I had planned in the beginning,” he grinned. He really had planed to make slow gentle love to her, but their hormones had just gotten the best of them.

“Ok,” Maria said with a smile as she gently spread her legs for Max to settle in between them.

*Do you know bow beautiful you are?* Max asked tenderly. Maria blushed under his gaze and he cupped her face in his hands as she felt him press into her. *You are, Maria. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.*

Maria smiled and pulled his mouth to hers, hungry for his kiss. *I love you, Max. I truly do.* she said as she sank into her body completely. She smiled at him as he filled her, and she felt an extreme sense of pleasure course through her body and his.

Max pulled out slightly, and then pushed back in, slowly and completely. He was taking his time, wanted tin revel in the feeling of her pussy contracting and fluttering around him. Maria, in the same way wanted to feel each and every inch of Max fill her, leave her empty and then fill her again.

They continued the dance of lovers for hours, forgetting about time and place completely. They were lost in each other. Lost in the emotions and feelings of the moment. Maria felt Max completely, just as he felt her. She knew then that he loved her. That no matter what happened from that point on, Maria was the love of his life. And he knew the same was true of Maria. “I’m so close,” she breathed, her body trembling under him.

“Me too, baby.” He groaned, reaching his climax. He felt hers building up in her body and he legs began to shake as she let go.

“Oh God, Max…Please,” she moaned, as she came hard around him.

“Maria, MMMMM,” he moaned in return as he shot his seed deep into her body.

Both were flooded with flashed immediately at their climax. Maria saw Max coming out of the pods with Isabel and Michael. She saw the Evans’s pick them up. Then she saw Max in the White Room, being tortured by Pierce. Her heart broke for him as she saw that Nightmares still plagued him from that night. She saw what Max saw when Liz pretended to sleep with Kyle. She was surprised at the sense of relief she felt from him at that point. She saw Max trying to heal Alex and feeling helpless because he had failed. Then she saw Max sleep with Tess. She felt his desire to be with her instead. Then she felt how he felt when they had first made love. The great joy he felt along with the guilt that plagued him. She saw him watching her leave for New York. She felt the sadness, emptiness and anger he felt at her leaving. He didn’t think she was ever coming back. Finally, she felt how happy he had been when she said she was going to go on the run from the FBI with them. He was sure he would die without her by his side.

Max saw Maria sitting on her front porch bawling her eyes out and yelling after her father. He had just left her, and he could feel how the way her father treated her was something that plagued her to this very day. He saw Maria crying after Michael broke up with her, saying he couldn’t get attached. He felt her worry for him when he and Tess went to New York with the Dupes. He felt her extreme sorry at Alex’s death, as well as her shame in Max for not accepting that Alex was murdered. He saw the first time she made love to Michael, and how much she loved the moment she shared with him, even if she was scared to death she was making a mistake. He saw her disappointment in him when he told her that Tess was pregnant. He felt shame knowing h e had disappointed the only person he cared about. He felt her emotions as they made love the first time, and he knew that she loved him at that moment, even if she was worried about Liz and Michael. He saw her sitting down at her desk as she wrote a song about him. Finally, he saw her as she ran to the group, decided to go with them on the run. She said it was for Michael, but he could feel at that moment that she had left for him.

Both of their eyes shined with tears as they looked at each other. “Wow,” Maria sniffled.

Max smiled and her gently and wiped the tears from her eyes, as she did the same for him. *Yeah,* he replied. *I wish I had been stronger.* he sent to her.

*What do you mean?* she asked holding him tighter.

*I mean, when I knew I loved you, I wish I had been strong enough to tell you. I wish that when we finally admitted out feelings I was strong enough to leave Liz. And now it’s too late.* he said.

Maria smiled and kissed him, *You know that you’re the only man I love,* she assured him.

“I know,” he said aloud.

“I’m not going to sleep with Michael anymore,” Maria said suddenly.

Max’s eyes went wide, “Maria, you don’t have to do that,” he said, cupping her cheek.

“I know,” she said, “But it isn’t worth it. I only want to be with you, and even though I can’t, it is just to hard to have sex with him.” She admitted.

Max kissed her deeply. “Me too.” He said finally. “I’m not going to sleep with Liz, either.”

“Max, she is your wife, how are you going to manage that?” Maria asked.

“She is my wife, and gets to have that role, which I wish was yours, you get my heart,” he said finally. He knew that in the end the choice of him sleeping with Liz, was HIS choice.

*We have to go back,* Maria sent, not really wanting to.

“I know,” he said kissing her forehead before he slipped out of bead and re-dressed. She did the same and his kissed her one last time before they went back to their rooms.

Maria slipped back in bed with Michael and felt him grab onto her again, “You ok?” he mumbled.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” she whispered with a smile.

When Max got to his room he laid down next to Liz. She sat up and asked, “Where did you go?”

“I had to check on a noise outside,” he covered. She nodded and went back to sleep. Max reached his mind out to Maria and sent, *Night, baby.*

He heard her sweet voice send back to him, *Night, I love you.*

A/N: This is a little short, but i'm in England and i just wanted to get an update that came to me out...hope you like

Chapter 5

Maria woke up a couple of days later, groggy and a little nautious. "Mmm," she groaned as she rolled out of bed.

"You ok?" Michael asked as he too got out of the bed. Maria had stuck by her word that she wasn't going to sleep with Michael, and oddly he had been very good about it. Of course she never told him that she was cutting him off from sex. She just didn't sleep with him anymore. And not once had Michael complained. Not once had he even whined about it.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she smiled. She really did like him, she just didn't love him.

"You don't look fine," he answered skeptically.

Maria turned back to him, "I am fine. I've just got a little head ache. I think it is from being in the mountains. But i promise i'm ok," she said. "Common, let's get going." she siad as she pulled on her jeans.

Michael let it go. It probably was the altitude. He pulled on his pants and walked out the door after Maria. When he saw Isabel at the van he smirked and headed two doors down from the room he shared with Maria.

Meanwhile in Max and Liz's room...

"Max, what is wrong with you?" Liz asked, annoyed. Max rolled his eyes at her as he pulled his jeans up his legs. She was driving him nuts. Unlike Michael, Liz was a royal bitch about Max not fucking her.

"Liz, not now," he nearly growled back at her. If he had to listen to her whiny, nagging, bitchy voice for one more minute he thought he was going to scream. He missed Maria, and having to live with Liz was only gratting harder on his nerves.

"No, Max. I'm your wife and you wont even fuck me anymore. You never talk to me. You are so distant. What the hell happened to you?" She asked as she roughly put her shoes on.

Max sighed heavily. "I'm just not in the mood. Leave it alone!" he warned and this time Liz did. She knew she could only push Max so hard before he would snap.

They made thier way out to the van, and immediatly Max noticed Maria helping Isabel load the car. Michael and Kyle must have beens till getting ready. They always seemed to take forever. Max smiled at she watched Maria's sirt rise above her stomach, revealing her silky skin that he was begging to touch.

Maria looked over at him, sensing his presence. *See something you like?* she flirted with him in her head.

*Oh yeah, baby.* MAx said making his way to the van. He put his and Liz's bag in the van, and Liz got inside, sitting shotgun.

*So, Liz being a bitch again this morning?* Maria asked with a grin.

*What else is new. How did you know?* Max asked her silently.

*You forget, Mr. Evans i hear all. I heard you internally ploting her demise.* she said.

Max laughed out loud. "What's so funny?" Isabel asked confused.

Max sobbered up, "Nothing. So, who is driving first?" he asked.

"Umm, i think it's Maria," isabel said looking up.

"Alright, cool. Well, when the metro twins get done, we can go," Maria said. She was internally upset that she had so spent 6 hours driving next to Liz. Uggghhh. Max knew exactly what was bothering her and made his way to Liz's window.

"Baby," he said pulling out the charm again. "Why dont you take a nap in the back. I can keep lookout for the first shift."

Liz's lips turned into a smile. This was the Max she wanted the King who wanted to protect her and only her. The way it should be. She nodded and slipped out of the passenger seat, and moved to the back of the van. At that moment Kyle and Michael emmerged from Kyle and Isabel's room, and they coudl finally leave. Isabel shot them a knowing look and Maria closed the back of the van.

"Finally," Max sighed. He wasn't really upset. They weren't late or anythign, adn truth be told, he figured the FBI wasn't too close or they would have gotten them by now.

Maria got in the drivers seat, Max in the passenger seat and Michael, Kyle, Isabel, and Liz sprawled out in the back of the van. "Ok, let's go," Maria said cheerfully. She loved when she drove next to Max. It was like they were alone again. They couldn't touch or kiss, but they could talk to each other through thier minds, and while the other 4 slept, it was as if the road was thiers alone.

*******

About 4 hours into the drive Maria's nausia started to come back, and as he face contorted in pain, Max looked at her with worry. *Baby, what's wrong?* he asked.

*I dont know. I feel kinda sick,* Maria said looking at him. "Mmm," she moaned aloud as her stomach growled.

Max looked up at the signs on the road in front of him. "Pull over at the gas station up here," he said. Maria didn't look good and he was worried about her. Maria just nodded and tried to concentrate on the road. 2 miles. She could make it two miles.

TBC...

Chapter 6

It was a very long two miles for both Max and Maria. Max was worried about her and Maria, while the pain was subsiding, was scared. What was wrong with her? Finally, Maria got to the exit for the truck stop and pulled quickly into it.

“We stopping?” Kyle asked groggily from the back of the van.

“Yeah, I figured we could get some food,” Max said, getting out of the van. He sensed that Maria didn’t want the others to know why they were really stopping.

As they walked into the truck stop, Michael caught up to Maria and put his arm around her. “You ok?” he asked. “You look kinda pale.”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just have a little stomach ache.” Maria said pasting on a smile. Michael nodded and kissed her forehead. When they got inside, Maria went straight into the bathroom while everyone else ordered.

“I’m gonna hit the head,” Max said to no one in particular and he quickly made his way back to the women’s restroom. He was worried about her and he wanted to know what was wrong with her more than anything. He could feel her pain, not strongly, but he could feel it. It was like a sharp pinch to her stomach.

He gently opened the bathroom door to find Maria hunched over the toilet, emptying the contents of his stomach into the bowl. “Baby, are you ok?’ he asked. It was a stupid question, but he felt sort of helpless.

“Yeah, really I’m fine,” Maria said standing up. She moved to the sink and washed her mouth out. “I don’t know, after I threw up I just felt better,” she said.

“You want me to check you out anyway?” Max said. He would feel better if he knew that she was ok. He couldn’t help it, he cared about her so much and the thought that something could be really wrong with her scared the hell out of him.

Maria shook her head and yawned, raising her arms about her head. “No, I’m just tired. Let’s eat and get back on the road,” she said.

And that was when he saw it. His eyes doubled in size as her shirt lifted, exposing a wide patch of her stomach. There was a tiny handprint, not unlike the once Tess and Liz had when they became pregnant. “Oh god, Maria…” he started, pointing at her stomach.

“What, what’s wrong?” Maria asked. She looked to where he was pointing and gasped in amazement. “What...How…I mean…” she started, but she couldn’t get her words out. Her tears filled with tears of both happiness and fear. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Sure she was ecstatic, but how could this be? And what would Max say? And was it Michael’s? They always wore condoms, but Max always made sure she didn’t get pregnant.

“Baby, let me make a connection,” Max said, almost pleading. He was just as confused as she was, and he prayed to god she wasn’t pregnant with Michael’s child. Maria just nodded mutely at him. She didn’t know what to say, but the best way to find out what was going on was for Max to connect with her.

Maria pulled off her shirt and Max placed his hand over the handprint on her stomach. Immediately he was pulled into her. He saw the baby, a boy, and saw that he was in fact Max’s child. He checked the child with pride and then broke the connection. “What? What’s going on, Max?” Maria asked.

Max shook the cobwebs from his head and looked into her eyes, tears shinning in his own. “We are having a son.” He said, a smile beginning in the corners of his mouth.

“We?” Maria asked confused. How could that be?

“Yeah, you remember when we connected?” Max asked, caressing her cheek. Maria nodded and he continued, “Well, I was so wrapped up in you that I forgot to use my powers on you. You know, to make sure you didn’t get pregnant,” Max said. He was beating himself up over it now. He was so happy to be sharing this with Maria, but now she had no choice in the matter.

“Oh God,” Maria said sitting down on the closed toilet. Max kneeled in front of her. She looked up at him. “How do you feel about this?” she asked nervously. She knew the last thing he wanted was to get her pregnant, and now she was. Was he going to leave her? Make her get read of it?

Max smiled at her and kissed her lightly on the lips. “I’m so happy, Maria. I’m scared to death, but I’m happy. I’ve always wanting the mother of my children to be you. I fucked up twice, Tess and Liz, but you are the only one I love, the only one I want to be with,” Max said confidently.

Maria jumped into his arms. “Oh god, I’m so happy to hear you say that,” she cried. “I can’t believe this,” she smiled, her excitement growing every second.

Max kissed her deeply and smiled, “I love you. But how about we keep this to ourselves just for a little while. Then we will think of a way to tell Liz and Michael.”

“Does that mean that we will be together?” Maria asked, “Or are you staying with Liz?” she knew it was a long shot getting him to leave his wife, but if he loved her and she was having his child, didn’t that entitle her to be with him?

“Baby, trust me, we are going to be together. I’m tired of living a lie,” Max said holding her tight.

Maria smiled and kissed his temple. “Ok, well we better get out before they think we have run away,” she laughed. “I love you,” she said looking back to him again.

“I love you too,” Max smiled.

“I’m starved,” Maria laughed. Max smiled back at her with pride before leaving the bathroom. Maria waited a few minutes and then followed him out the door and to her friends.

*********

After they ate, they got on the road again, this time Max drove as Maria sat shotgun, and though she was supposed to be keeping lookout, she couldn’t help her eyes from drifting shut. She was so tired. All she wanted to do at that moment was sleep.

The next thing she knew, Max was gently shaking her away. *Baby, wake up,* he said in her head. She slowly opened her eyes.

“Where are we?” she asked, seeing them park. It was dark outside now.

“At the motel,” Max said, and Maria nodded, stepping out of the van.

Isabel quickly walked up to her and nervously asked. “Hey, can I sleep with you tonight?” she asked.

Maria looked surprised but smiled, “Sure, that’s fine. What’s up?”

“Just need to get away from the boys,” Isabel chuckled lightly. She hated herself for lying to Maria. She loved Maria like a sister, but she also loved Michael and Kyle and she wanted them to be happy. Besides, she sensed that Maria no longer felt about Michael the way she used to.

“Sounds good,” Maria said grabbing her bag. The three groups moved to their separate room, and the exhausted Isabel seemed to crash on the bed and fall asleep immediately and Maria chucked at her and flipped off the light. She would wait a few minutes and then go meet Max to talk.

In Michael and Kyle’s room…

“We have to tell her,” Kyle said running his finger through his hair. Michael pulled his own shirt over his head and slipped off his jeans before sitting next to Kyle on the bed.

“I know,” he sighed. Michael gently kissed Kyle on the neck and Kyle moaned in response.

“Tomorrow?” Kyle asked. He loved Michael, but he loved Maria as well. He didn’t want to keep their relationship a secret any longer. It wasn’t right. He was being bad friend, and he hated it.

“Yes, tomorrow. We will tell her tomorrow,” Michael said, watching Kyle strip out of his clothes. “I just don’t want to hurt her.”

“I don’t either, but it needs to be done. Besides, I really want to make love to you, and I refuse to do that until our relationship is out in the open,” Kyle said. Michael kissed him deeply nad they fell into each others arms on the bed.

They were both surprised about the feelings they had for each other. Neither even knew they were gay, but as time wore on at the end of their senior year, they got closer, and finally on the road they told each other about their feelings, surprised that they were reciprocated.

Michael wrapped Kyle in his arms. “it’s nice to be able to lay here with you.” He breathed.

“I know,” Kyle said, “I love you.”

“I love you too, baby.”

In Max and Maria’s rendezvous bedroom…

“Max, please make love to me?” Maria said. She was naked and laying under him, and she wanted him.

Max kissed her deeply before plunging into her. “I love you so much.” He groaned as he made love to her completely.

“Fuck, Mmmm,” Maria moaned, loving he feeling of Max fucking her. “Can you believe we are having a baby?” she asked between heated breaths.

“I know, I can’t wait,” Max returned as he kissed down her neck. He thrust into her faster and faster until he heard a shriek from the doorway. Max pulled out of Maria, surprised and turned to the door making sure to cover himself and Maria.

“What the fuck are you doing?” Liz’s whiny voice bellowed from the doorway. Maria’s eyes went wide as she looked at Max. Oh shit!

TBC…

Chapter 7

“Liz…” Maria breathed pulling the sheet over herself. Max moved under the covers as well, taking Maria into his arms protectively.

“I asked you a fucking question,” Liz’s venomous voice spoke as she slammed the door and stood before them with her hand on her hip.

“I think you know what we were doing,” Max bit out. He was none too pleased about being interrupted mid-coitus with Maria. Besides, the fact that merely looking at Liz’s face would set him into irritation.

“No, because what I saw was my best friend fucking my husband who hasn’t been ‘in the mood’ since we first started having sex. That just can’t be. Because my best friend isn’t a slut the last time I checked,” Liz returned, her voice thick with sarcasm.

Max reached for his boxers on the floor and pulled them on before getting up off the bed. “Don’t fucking talk to her like that,” he boomed.

Maria pulled on Max’s shirt that had earlier been discarded and got out of bed. “I want some God-damn answers.” Liz said pushing hard on Max’s chest as he approached her. “How could you, Max? I’m your WIFE!” she said errily reminding him of Tess.

“Liz, it’s over. I should have done this a long time ago,” Max said calmly.

*Max, let me try. It isn’t her fault that we fell in love,* Maria sent to Max silently.

“Ok baby,” he said outloud as he kissed her on the forehead.

“You are fucking sick. And who are you talking to?” Liz demanded.

“Look, Liz, if you will just sit down and chill we can explain,” Maria said firmly. Liz huffed and pulled out a chair, flipping the lights on and siting down hard.

“I’m waiting, though I’m sure you can’t possibly have an excuse for this,” Liz said.

“Liz, I love Max. He is the love of my life, and I didn’t plan it, nor did I have any shortage of guilt over it, but we have been together for over 6 months.” Maria said.

Liz’s eyes went wide. “WHAT?!” she shrieked.

“Liz calm down,” Max said. “I didn’t want you to find out like this, and I was a coward for marrying you. I love Maria, and I did when we got married, but I thought I was supposed to marry you. But things have changed. We were going to tell you about us soon,” Max said.

“Why? You get her pregnant too?” Liz scoffed sarcastically.

Maria looked at Max, who looked back to her. “You did. Oh my god, you got Maria pregnant!” Liz yelled, loudly. “What the fuck! Max you are pathetic. You are like a lost dog. You can’t stop can you?” Liz said in disgust. “You make bastard children with anyone who will spread their legs!”

“Liz, I’m warning you. You talk about maria or our child like that and I promise you will regret it,” Max warned.

All of a sudden, a groggy Michael, Kyle, and Isabel stumbled into the room. “What the hell is going on in here?” Kyle asked scratching his head. He and Michael heard Liz yelling and grabbed Isabel to find her.

“Max and Maria were just informing me of the illegitimate child they have created.” Liz said smugly, crossing her arms over her chest. “News to you, eh Michael?” she said looking up at him.

Michael processed what Liz said, but before he could comment, Maria turned to him. “Michael, I’m so sorry. You know that I care about you. You are one of my best friends, but I love Max. I can’t help it. We are meant for each other.” Maria said. She knew that no matter what she said, the betrayal she had done to him was unforgivable.

Michael sat down on the bed and stared off into space thinking. Isabel and Kyle just looked at the foursome intently. “How could you?” Michael finally said. “How long?”

“A little over 6 months.” Max answered, wrapping his arm around Maria protectively. “Look, Michael, I’m sorry, but this is just what we feel.” Max said.

“Fucking ridiculous,” Michael breathed out exasperatedly. Kyle’s head shot up to look at him. What right did HE really have to be upset? What were they doing? It was the same thing, without sex. Did Michael still love her?

“Tell them,” Kyle finally said, almost angrily. “Michael, it’s time. Tell them.”

“Tell us what?” Liz said frustrated. She wanted to get back to Max and Maria.

Michael looked at Kyle and then back at Maria. HE didn’t want to do this now. He wanted to be mad at Maria. But the truth was that he owed this to Kyle. He loved him, and it was killing him to keep their relationship a secret. However, it put a huge crimp in his plan to yell at Maria for betraying him.

“What is going on?” Maria asked. “You can tell me anything,” she said. “You are still my best friend.” She said.

Michael sighed and turned back to her. “Can Kyle and I talk to Maria alone?” he didn’t want to do this here.

“Hell no!” Max said. “She’s been abused enough by Liz.” He didn’t want her to get hurt, and Michael looked pissed, with all due reason.

“Max, please,” Maria said turning back to him. Finally he gave in and got off the bed.

“Ok, but I’ll be right outside.” Max said. Maria nodded and turned her attention back to Michael when everyone left the room. “Ok, so what’s the deal?” she asked. “What do you need to tell me?”

“Maria, I am way beyond pissed right now, but the fact is I have no reason to be,” Michael said.

“Yes you do? I betrayed you. I lied to you. But I can’t lie anymore,” Maria started. But Michael put his hand up to stop her.

“Let me just get this out,” he said. “There is a secret we’ve been keeping from you too,” Michael said. Kyle looked down at his feet as Michael continued. “Kyle and I…well we’ve been kinda…we’ve been seeing each other,” Michael said feeling like he was 80 years old the minute those exact words escaped his mouth.

“What?” Maria asked, wrapping her mind around the concept. “You’re…together?” she asked.

“Yeah, Maria we didn’t plan it either.” Kyle said quickly. “I know how you feel Maria, and I want you to know that no matter what the circumstances of how you and Max got together, I support you.”


Michael’s head shot up, “Kyle!” he said.

“No, Michael. I know what it is like to love someone, and I know sometimes circumstances and timeing isn’t right,” Kyle said sitting next to him on the bed. Maria looked at the two interact.

“But Kyle, she slept with him. She slept with him long before we got together.” Michael said.

“Actually, the first time Max and I selpt together, you and I had broken up,” Maria interjected. Michael looked at her, then Kyle and then back to Maria. His eyes softened as he knew he had no case. And to tell the truth, he didn’t much care that Max and maria had fallen in love. He just felt betrayed. “Look, Maria, I want you to be happy. The way I’m happy,” he said taking kyle’s hand in his. Maria smiled at them. “It just hurts that you lied, but I guess I did too,” he said.

“Michael I still love you, just not the same way,” Maria said cupping his cheek. “I need you. Especially now. And I’m happy for you and Kyle. I really am. Just please be there for me through all of this. Both of you,” she nearly begged.

“I promise,” Kyle said kissing her cheek.

“Me too,” Michael said. “SO I guess now you understand why Isabel stayed in your room,” he said.

“Does she know?” Maria asked.

“Yeah,” Michael said. “And we are going to tell Max and Liz, but we knew we should tell you first.”

“I know, I should have told you. I didn’t want you to find out like this.” Maria said. “But Liz let the cat out of the bag.”

“Yeah, convincing her that you and Max love each other is going to be quite a feat,” Kyle said. “You know how fucked up this is, right? I mean she is pregnant, and now you are pregnante. Max may choose you, but he is still going to be tied to Liz forever.”

“I know, but right now I just want to be happy,” Maria said. She knew all of these issues were going to come out soon enough, but right now she had enough on ther plate finding out she was newly pregnant. “Let’s get the others back in here,” she groaned. She wanted to be back in Max’s arms but she didn’t want to see Liz.

When she opened the door she saw Isabel watching Max and Liz fighting. “Ok, we’re done,” she said.

Max went to her and wrapped his arms around her. “You ok, baby?” he asked. His only concern was her. Liz was completely forgotten.

“Yeah,” Maria said. She turned back to everyone else. “Look, can we do this tomorrow? I’m exhausted, and I do think there is much else I can say other than I’m sorry how this came out, but I’m not sorry for loveing Max.” she said with conviction. She thought she was stuck in a bad lifetime movie.

“Oh no,” Liz said pointing her finger at Maria and Max. “No way am I getting back in bed with you, or letting you off the hook.” She was yelling now.

Isabel spoke for the first time since being awoken from her sleep. “Look you guys,” She said in a calm voice, “None of this is going to be sorted out tonight. There is no point in dragging this entire thing out right now when emotions are running high.”

“So, you explect me to just get over this and go to bed?” Liz asked incredulously.

“No, Liz. I don’t care what you do, but if you care about the baby you are carrying, you will calm the fuck down,” Isabel said, getting extremely irritated with Liz. Sure the girl had a right to be pissed, but damn if she wasn’t annoying as hell.

Maria ignored her. “Max are you staying with me?” she asked. He smiled and kissed her temple, causing Liz to growl and come toward her, but Michael quickly thwarted her efforts.

“Liz, don’t make me have to hurt you. I’ve never liked you, and if you hurt Maria or her baby, you are going to wish you hadn’t.” He said menacingly.

“Hey, I’m pregnante too!” she screamed. “What about MY baby!”

“I care deeply for our child,” Max said quietly. “But I don’t care about you. I will always love our baby, but I don’t love you.”

Liz’s eyes darkened with rage and she slammed the door behind her as she left. “Oh god,” Maria sighed as she fell back on the bed. “Well, at least she knows,” she said looking at the bright side.

“Common guys,” Isabel said, “we better get back to sleep.” Then she turned to Maria and Max. “I really am happy for you guys. But tomorrow is going to be a bitch,” she laughed.

“Don’t I know it,” Maria said rolling her eyes. Max wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into him as Kyle, Michael, and Isabel left the room. He used his powers to turn the lights off again.

“That was really not how I wanted them to find out,” maria said stating the obvious.

“I know, baby. But at least its out there now.” Max said stripping once again. Maria did the same and they got under the covers.

“And we can be together now? Just the two of us?” Maria said, with hopeful eyes.

“Yes, Maria. I should have done this a long time ago. But we are here now. We are together, and we are having a baby, and I want nothing more than to be with you. There is nothing stopping us now,” Max said.

“But don’t ne naïve enough to belive this thing with Liz os over. It’s far from over. She will be more than pissed tomorrow and the next day, and the next day.” Maria said. “She is having your child, just like I am. She will be apart of our lives forever,” Maria reminded him. Those things sucked, but they were in love and together so she could dell with them.

“I know, but I don’t want you to worry about that right now. Tomorrow we will sit down all together and discuss this, but right now lets just be together. Let’s sleep together like we havn’t been able to since we left Roswell.” Max said as Maria snuggled into him.

“Goodnight, Max,” Maria said kissing his chest.

“Goodnight, Maria.”

TBC…

Chapter 8

Maria woke up in Max’s arms and smiled at the feeling of his skin against hers. As she stired, Max began to wake as well. He looked down at her and smiled. It was so amazing to wake up with her in his arms. He remembered how great it had been on the few nights that they were able to do this in Roswell.

“I know the feeling,” Maria said reading his thoughts. She looked up at him and placed her lips firmly over his kissing him. He slipped his tongue into her wet, hot mouth. “Mmmm,” she moaned moving closer into him.

“I hate to cut this short,” he said a breath away from her lips, “but we really need to talk to Liz again,” he said begrudgingly.

“I know,” she said untangling herself from Max’s warm embrace. Reluctantly they get out of bed and get dressed. They head out of their room and over to Liz’s.

On the way over, Max stopped Maria, “Wait, what happened last night with Michael and Kyle?” he asked. In the heat of the moment he had simply forgotten to ask.

“Oh,” Maria said with a smile, “Well, Michael and Kyle are…well I guess together. Seems I’ve turned Michael off to women,” she said with a smile. In actuality, the more she thought about it, the more she loved the fact that Michael and Kyle had each other. She wished Isabel did, and well, even Liz.

When she looked up at Max she noticed he was smirking. “So, Michael’s gay, huh?” he said barely containing his laughter. Maria slapped him playfully and he faked a hurt expression, “Hey, whatever keeps him off our back I’m ok with,” Max amended. Truth be told, he was happy as well. Kyle and Michael deserved happiness. If they found it with each other, so be it.

Finally, Maria knocked lightly on the door, and when Max heard a faint, ‘come in,’ that was all he needed to burst into the room. He wanted to get all of this over with so he could start his life with Maria. The quicker they talked to Liz, the quicker he could do that.

Inside the room, there was a hostile feeling all around. It was obvious that Liz was no where near over this entire situation, and who could expect her to be. Maria was the first person in the room to speak, “Look, Liz I love him. I can’t help it,” she said almost pleading with Liz to understand reason.

But Liz didn’t care. She had heard all of this before. She rolls her eyes at Maria, which causes Max to sigh in frustration, “Liz, Maria and I are going to be together. Get it through your head. I don’t love you, and I don’t think you could honestly tell me that you love me either. Just let it go! What is the point?” he said running a frustrated hand through his hair.

Maria looked up at him. She wished none of this had gone down the way it did. Now she had stolen someone’s husband, and he was telling his wife that he didn’t love her because of HER. He was having a baby with not only her, but also the other woman. This was so fucked up. But no matter what, they were together and that was the important thing.

Finally after several moments of silence, Liz stood up and glared at both of them. “You know what, fuck you both!” she yelled. “You can do what you want. Maria can continue to be a lying conniving slut, and Max you can continue to be oblivious to the fact that she is worthless. I don’t care any more. Be together. Have your little happy home for the moment, but trust me it isn’t going to last. If he can cheat on me, he can cheat on you,” Maria said, “besides, I have a feeling you will be sorry,” Liz said. She didn’t say anything else, just shooed Max and Maria out of her room and said she would be ready in 10 minutes to go.

When Max and Maria exit the room, they breathed a slight sigh of relief. They had done all they could, and while nothing really got solved, at least Liz had basically given up. They walked down the rows of motel rooms and knocked on Isabel’s door, as well as Michael and Kyle’s door. They should probably get on the road soon. It was nearly 9:00am.

While Isabel, Michael, and Kyle packed their stuff into the van, Liz just sat on a curb being completely unproductive and sulking like a child. Max rolled his eyes at her. He had better things on his mind. He pulled Maria, by the arm, around the motel building to the back so no one was watching. *What was that about??* she asked, hoping he had something dirty in mind.

*I need you, right here, right now!* Max growled in his inner voice. He deftly unbuttoned Maria’s shirt and slipped his hand inside, leaving it on her as to not leave her completely exposed. As he found a pert nipple he rolled it over in his fingers, causing electric chocks of pleasure to ring out through Maria’s body.

“Max…” she breathed lightly at the sensation. She too had her hands up his shirt, feeling the smooth skin of his chest. *Fuck me,* she begged as she looked into his eyes. Max didn’t need any more encouragement. He quickly pulled down Maria’s sweatpants, panties and all and lifted her into his arms, pressing her back against the brick of the building behind them.

Maria easily removed Max from his jeans, reaching between them and taking his rock hard, aching cock into her hands and directing him to her now dripping entrance. *Baby, I love you,* he moaned in their connection before completely sheathing himself in her.

The sensations of him making love to her, were almost more than she could take. She wanted him inside her all the time. He was like a drug. Only now her addiction was safe, it was returned, it was out in the open. No more hiding. No more lies. They were together. “Fuck!” She groaned lightly as he began to pound into her faster and faster, hiting her g-spot every time.

“Baby, we have to be quiet,” Max whispered to his in hitched breathes. The group may know about them, but that last thing they needed was an audience. Maria took this opportunity to suck on Max’s neck, trying to muffle the sounds of passion he was erupting out of her.

Max fucked her harder, pressing her harder and harder into the brick wall behind her, and she loved every minute of it. *Max, I’m gonna come!* she warned as she felt her climax approaching. Max increased his pace yet again and kissed her hard as they both tumbled over the ecstatic edge together. Maria moaned, and Max growled as they came, but they both muffled each other with sweet kisses.

When they caught their breath, Max set Maria down on the ground and helped her get dressed before dressing himself. *Mmmm, we have got to start finding more comfortable places for these sexcapades,” Maria said with a laugh. Her ass hurt, but she didn’t really care.

“Common, let’s get on the road,” Max said kissing her deeply before leading her out from behind the building. Kyle and Isabel happen to see them, and their slightly disheveled states wonder out from behind the building and shared a knowing smirk with the couple, which caused Maria to blush and Max to smile with pride. Yes, Maria was his lover, and he wanted to tell the whole world.

But Max snapped back into reality and detached himself from Maria, walking up to Michael. “Hey, can I talk to you, man,” he said quietly. Michael nodded gruffly and followed Max over to a secluded part of the parking lot. “I just wanted to say that I’m really gald that you are so understanding of me and Maria.” Max said, “You know I love you like a brother, and I don’t know what I would do if you hated me.” He said honestly. His real concern was never Liz, but more Michael.

“I’m not going to say I’m happy about this. Who would be, but what can I do? I’m in love with Kyle. I love Maria, but like a sister. You are my best friend, and brother. I’m not going to let the fact that you happened to have slept with my girlfriend, not knowing that I was in fact in love with someone else ruin our friendship, but I’m not happy about it.” Michael said seriously. He looked into Max’s eyes, “I just want you both to be happy. As happy as I am with Kyle. But I will say this, brother or not, if you hurt Maria, or do what you are doing to Liz to Maria I will kill you.” Michael said, and Max was 100 percent sure he would follow through. But that wasn’t going to happen because Max loved Maria completely. She was his whole soul.

“You don’t have to worry,” Max winked at him, “Maria is here to stay, with me.” Then his expression change to one of playfulness, “So, gay, huh?”

Michael looked Max right in the eyes and said, “Yes, I’m gay and I love Kyle Valenti.”

Max smiled and nodded, “Well, I’m happy for you man. Isn’t it amazing how different real love FEELS?”

Michael nodded and gave a slight smiled before saying, much louder, “Alright, we better get on the road.” Max nodded and moved over to the car where Isabel had already taking the driver’s seat and Liz was shotgun. That worked for him. He climbed into the back of the van with Maria, Michael, and Kyle and they headed off down the road.

Max and Maria laid in the back of the van, him holding her in his arms, and Michael laid his head down on Kyle’s lap allowing his lover to run his fingers through it. This was the life. All four could finally be open about who they loved.

Maria and Max talked a little in their heads, but mostly remained quiet as Maria stared out the window. She watched the rolling country side of the south. She saw green grass, as high as she ever seen, coal mines, small mountains, amber grain, brown tobacco, it was all so amazing to her. Where she was from the only plants she saw were cactus and tumbleweeds. Max ran his hands up and down her sides, as she relaxed into the moment. For the first time since she left Roswell, she actually felt at home.

And then she saw it. A flash. That was weird. She only got flashes from Max most of the time, but this couldn’t have been from Max. As she looked out the window she saw it again. Her mother. Her mother was laying in Jim’s arms bleeding. She didn’t look conscious and Jim looked scared out of his mind. OH GOD, what happened?!

“Baby, what’s wrong?” Max asked pulling her out of her vision. He heard her gasp and felt her heartbeat race, something had to have happened. Now, he could feel her fear emanating out of ever pore of her body.

“My mom. And Valenti!” Maria cried out, she looked as if she was still in shock.

Kyle’s head popped up as he heard his father name. “What, what’s wrong!?” But Maria didn’t answer. She just looked at Max, for some kind of help he didn’t know how to give.

“Isabel, pull over,” Max said as calmly as he could manage with his girlfriend damn near hysterics. When the car stopped he pulled Maria into his arms. None of this went unnoticed my a glaring Liz, but if anyone were looking at her closely, which they were not, they would see that she had a twinkle in her eye. A twinkle that hadn’t been there since she announced her pregnancy.

“Tell me what you saw,” Max said cupping Maria’s face.

Finally, she began to snap out of the shock of seeing her mother dying in Valenti’s arms and she shook her head to clear her thoughts. “I was looking out the window,” she said slowly, “and I saw my mother. She was bleeding to death, and Jim was holding her in his arms, crying. He looked so scared, and I saw a shadow cast on their bodies, and then the vision was over!” Maria said panicking again.

“Shhhh, shhh, it will be ok,” Max said holding her close to him again. He had to think.

Kyle had an answere, “We have to go back!” he said, “That is out parents. They could be in real trouble!” He was damn near hysterical himself.

Both Max and Michael shook their heads at the same time. “NO! We can’t go back,” max said.

“Yeha, we don’t know who knows about us there!” Michael said.

Maria’s mouth hung open as she turned to Kyle looking at him helplessly. How could they not go back? Her mother was in trouble and it was all her fault. She didn’t even notice that Isabel had begun driving again, she was so in shock at Max’s answer.

*Max, why can’t we go back?* she asked helplessly.

*Maria, it is dangerous. If someone is after your mother and Valenti, then they are going to be after us!* he tried talking reason to her, but he could tell she was getting angrier and angrier by the minute.

*Oh, so my mother and Valenti are expendable. Who cares if they get killed. Did you ever think about the fact that she just got throw into this. It was my choice, but she didn’t have that same luxury.* Maria huffed. It was amazing how she could huff in her head.

*No, they are important, but my number one priority is YOU and my children,* he said wanting desperately for her to understand.

“Well, fuck you, Max!” Maria bit out, aloud. And with that, she cut off the connection with Max. She had learned sometime in the conversation to block her emotions and thoughts from him, and that was what she was doing. If he didn’t care about her mother, than he didn’t care about her.

*Maria! MARIA!* Max called out in his head, but he got nothing back. Oh god, what was happening. He just got Maria to himself, he couldn’t lose her now. Didn’t she understand, they couldn’t go back to Roswell. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about her mother and Valenti, it was that he needed to keep her safe.

Michael, Kyle, Isabel, and Liz had all begun to pay attention to the couple when Maria told him to fuck off out of the blue. Michael and Kyle figured it came from their connection, but Kyle was more concerned with his own on going internal battle with Michael. He had already moved far away from his lover and he knew what Maria was going through.

Isabel tried to pay attention to the road, and succeeded mostly. Liz just observed the situation, silently. She noticed Maria and Kyle’s pissed off looks, and Michael and Max’s distressed faces and had to control her lips from turning into a smirk.

TBC…

Chapter 9

“Max, should we pull over for lunch now?” Isabel asked quietly from the front seat.

“Yeah,” Max relied, though his attention was still on Maria. She was withdrawing from him and he still couldn’t hear her in his head. Isabel nodded and pulled over to another truck-stop.

Maria hadn’t said a word since the outburst. Truth be told, she was starving, but she was so mad at this point she could barely see straight. Her stomach hurt again, and she wanted to get out of the van. Thank god Isabel asked if they should pull over.

Everyone got out of the van, and as Michael reached for Kyle’s hand, he snatched it away. “Stay away from me,” Kyle growled, hurt showing in his eyes as he looked at his lover. Michael didn’t know what to do. He was lost. Kyle wouldn’t talk to him, listen to him, and he had cut his connection with Michael as well.

“Baby, please,” Michael started, but Kyle hurried past him and took Maria’s hand.

”I’m here for you,” Kyle said to Maria, who stopped in her tracks and turned to Kyle. Max stopped to wait on Maria, but when he saw that she was paying him no attention, he reluctantly followed and angry Michael, a sad Isabel, and a conniving Liz into the restaurant.

“Thank you, Kyle.” Maria said. “But we have to do something. I can’t just let my mother die. And your father was like MY dad.” Maria said, tears coming to her eyes again at the thought.

“I know. I know.” Kyle said pulling Maria into his arms. “We will think of something. I promise. Just try to relax. I’ll come up with a plan. Even if Michael and Max wont help us. I’ll make sure that our parents are ok,” Kyle said.

Maria nodded, trusting him and said, “Ok, I feel sick. I’ve got to go inside.” Kyle smiled and nodded. Maria was getting sick a lot. Liz didn’t seem to be having the same pregnancy troubles. Kyle shrugged it off and went inside.

He sat down next to Isabel, not Michael. He didn’t want to be close to him right now. He was so angry. He thought Michael loved him. He thought that were starting a real relationship, but when the one person that meant the world to Kyle was in trouble, Michael didn’t care about anyone but himself.

Maria slipped into the bathroom, her stomach churning. “Little guy, you are not being very nice to mommy right now,” she said to her stomach. “Daddy isn’t being very nice to mommy either,” she said, rubbing her tummy.

Max slipped into the bathroom behind her, just as she began to purge the contents of her stomach. “Baby, are you ok?” he said coming to her and running his hand through her hair.

Maria slapped his hand away and got up from the toilet, going to the sink to wach her mouth out. “Don’t touch me,” she bit out.

“Baby, talk to me.” Max said, in a panic. He didn’t know what to do? Why was this so hard? He couldn’t give in and go back to Roswell because it could put them all in danger, but if he just ignored Maria’s flash, she was never going to speak to him again.

Maria turned on her heel and looked at Max. “No, I have nothing to say to you,” she said, glaring at him. “Tell me, how can you just sit here and do nothing when the man you saw as a father could be in trouble? Not to mention your child’s grandmother.” She asked, not expecting a satisfactory answer.

“Maria, don’t be ridiculous,” Max huffed, “You know I care about Jim and your mother, but what am I supposed to do? Huh? Tell me. You want me to send us all the way back to Roswell? So that we can all be taken my the FBI? So that you and I can be pulled apart forever? Our baby tested and tortured and prodded? I wont do it. I love you! I wont put you in danger.” Max said, in his final word voice.

“If that’s how you feel, don’t talk to me. Kyle and I will figure something out,” Maria said pushing past Max and slamming the bathroom door in his face.

“You okay?” Michael and Kyle asked at the same time.

Maria turned to Kyle, smiled and said, “Yeah, I’m fine, Kyle.”

Michael looked on hurt, but just turned back to his food and kept eating. “Well, I for one am glad you are feeling better,” Liz said with a sarcastic smirk. Maria rolled her eyes and sat down, flagging down a waitress.

**********

That night, when the group stopped at a hotel, Max went in to get three rooms. Hopefully tonight he could get through to Maria. He came back and through a key at Isabel and Michael. “Izzy, I figured you could stay with Liz,” he said, feeling badly for his sister, but they didn’t have money four 4 rooms every time they stopped.

“That’s fine,” Isabel said painting on a smile and turning to Liz. They quietly left for their room, and Max turned to Maria.

“Come on, let’s go to bed.” Max said.

“No, I’m going to stay with Kyle,” Maria said stoically. “You and You’re second in command can bunk up together,” she said before grabbing the keys out of Max’s hand and followed Kyle to their room.

Max’s shoulders slumped as he and Michael watched their two lovers walk off together. Why couldn’t they understand. “Look, Maxwell, let’s just get to bed. Maybe tomorrow we can try to get in touch with Valenti and see what is really going on out there.” Michael said. He knew what Max was going through, because he was going through the same thing.

Meanwhile, in Maria and Kyle’s room…

“Kyle, we have to do something,” Maria said pacing the room.

“I know, I know.” Kyle said, “Look, I’ve been thinking. What if WE went to Roswell? I mean, Michael and Max obviously don’t care. We could go back, asses the situation, and come back.” Kyle said.

“But Kyle, we don’t know how to get back. We won’t know where they are.” Maria said, using logic. Kyle was being a bit illogical right now.

“But we cn’t just leave them there.” Kyle stressed.

“I know,” maria said, trying to come up with a plan. “Why did I get that vision?” Maria asked aloud.

She still couldn’t understand it. She didn’t have powers. She wasn’t brought back from the dead. Why would she have gotten a vision? Wasn’t that Liz’s thing? And she wasn’t touching anyone really. Hmmm.

“I’ve been kinda wondering the same thing.” Kyle said sitting next to her on the bed. “Has that ever happened before?”

Before they could talk about it further, Isabel ran into the room. “HOLD THE PHONE!” she said, looking at the two of them, surpised.

40 minutes earlier in Isabel and Liz’s room…

“So, what do YOU think about Maria’s vision?” Isabel asked, trying to make conversation with Liz. It was already going to be an awkward night. She didn’t like Liz, but she did kinda feel bad for the girl.

“I don’t know,” Liz said, seemingly un concerned. “I guess she’s got a little of the magic power too.” She said with a shrug.

“And you don’t care?” Isabel asked suspiciously. Liz had become a little crazy, but she DID think of Amy DeLuca as a second mother. Something was not right about this. She knew something was up. But what?

“I care, but what can we do? I need to protect my child,” she said looking Isabel straight in the eye. Isabel nodded, letting it go. Something was off, and she was going to figure it out.

“Alright, lets just go to bed,” Isabel said getting under the covers. She had a plan, but Liz needed to be asleep for it to work. Liz smiled and nodded before cuddling into her own bed.

Soon, Liz was asleep. She must have been tired, because it seemed she fell asleep the minute her head hit the pillow. Isabel sat up slightly in her own bed and pulled out her wallet from her purse next to the bed. She pulled out Liz’s picture and set it next to her on the bed before getting comfortable. It took a second and then she was in.

As she entered Liz’s dream she noticed how happy she was. That was odd, given that Max had just left her for her former best friend. Isabel walked further into the dream. “It’s all working,” she heard Liz’s annoying voice say. What was all working out? And who was she talking to?

Isabel walked through a waterfall into the center of Liz’s dream, and there she saw Liz Parker with her worst enemy. Tess Harding. What the fuck. “So, you did it?” Tess asked.

“Yeah, Maria totally bought it. I’m so glad I got these powers from Max,” Liz said with a grin. “He doesn’t even know he can mindwarp,” she nearly cackled. Mindwarp? Wait…oh no.

Just as Isabel was about to wake up, Liz spotted her and she was thrown out of the dream. She woke up and look down at Liz’s still sleeping form. It was all a mindwarp. They didn’t even know that Liz COULD mindwarp.

Isabel got out of bed and left the room, needing to talk to Maria and Kyle. They needed to know that their parents were okay. She used her powers to open their door, not even bothering to knock. “HOLD THE PHONE!” she yelled.

“What’s your deal, Isabel?” Maria asked.

“You’re mom and dad are fine,” she said.

“How would YOU know?” Kyle bit out.

“Because, I thought something was up, so I checked into Liz’s dreams tonight. She was talking to Tess about mindwarping you. Now, the reason Tess was in her dream was probably only because she has a power that was unique to Tess. Cause as we know, Tess is dead. But the point is, she mindwarped you into seeing that image.” Isabel said, out of breath from her speaking without so much as a breath.

“Are you sure?” Maria asked, breathing a sigh of relief. It explained why she had the vision even though she had no powers.

“Yes,” Isabel said rubbing her back. “Please don’t worry.” She looked up at Kyle too, “You guys should go talk to Max and Michael. They are miserable. They only wanted to keep you two safe.” Isabel said, always the mediator.

“It doesn’t change the fact that if our parents HAD been in trouble, they didn’t care,” Maria said defiantly.

“Yeah,” Kyle said nodding.

“You guys, don’t let this thing that isn’t even a thing break up what you have finally found. Maria, you are about to have Max’s baby. You love him. You are starting a family with him. Don’t let this start on a bad note. He loves you and the baby. He would do anything to keep you safe. And Kyle, you know how Michael is. I’m guessing his passion and hot temper are part of what you love about him. Let it go,” Isabel said. “Don’t let something small ruin your happiness.” She said with a slight smile.

Maria knew what she was talking about. She didn’t want to see what happened with her and Jesse happen to them. She hugged her friend and said. “Ok, I’m going to Max. Should I send Michael back?” she asked Kyle.

Kyle sighed and nodded. Isabel was right. He should at least talk to Michael. He loved him. He knew he couldn’t stay mad forever.

Isabel went back to bed, with every intention of keeping both of her eyes on Liz Parker. She would be damned if she let that girl ruin the only happiness her brothers had known in a long time.

Chapter 10

Maria knocked lightly on Max and Michael’s door. When Max opened it, ready for batter, his features softened as he saw Maria. “Maria…” he breathed.

“Can we talk?” she asked, her arms folded over her protectively.

“Yeah, come in.” he said quickly moving out from in front of the door.

Maria spotted Michael and said, “Michael, Kyle wants to talk to you.” She said casually, and Michael nearly bolted off the bed and out of the room. If Kyle wanted to talk to him finally, he would be there.

Maria sat in his place on the bed and waited for Max to close the door and sit next to her. He took her hand in his and said, “Baby, I’m sorry.”

But she quieted him by shaking her head. “Mom and Jim are ok,” Maria said, “but we have a bigger problem now. I need to know why you wont listen to me. Why my mother’s safety isn’t important to you.” Maria said.

“It is!” Max said frustrated. “It breaks my heart to know that my son’s grandmother and my lover’s mother are in danger, but I love you too much to hurt you. You are what I NEED. I can’t lose you.” Max said. “Wait, what do you mean they are ok? How did you find out?” he asked just catching on to the fact that there was no danger.

“Isabel dream walked Liz tonight. Seems that Liz can mind warp. She planned the whole thing. Apparently to pull us apart. And it worked.” Maria said. She got up off the bed and paced the room slightly. “God, I’m such an idiot!” she cried out.

Max went to her wrapping his arms around her, and she let him. “You aren’t an idiot. You couldn’t have known. No one knew.” Max said. “What is important is that Jim and Amy are ok, and we know about Liz’s power now.” Max said.

Maria nodded. “I’m still upset with you, Max. But the bottom line is that I love you too. You know that. But I need to get to the bottom of this Liz thing. She has messed with me now, and that isn’t something I will just let go.” Maria said.

“I know.” Max said. “Everything is just so fucked up,” he cried out in frustration.

“I know,” Maria said defeated as she plopped back down on the bed. “I just wish we could be together and forget about all of this bullshit.” Maria said.

Max sat next to her again and pulled her into his arms. “I know, but no matter what, we are together. That’s better than where we were a weeks ago,” he said with a chuckle. “I know, not a time to joke, but right now I don’t want to worry about Liz. You are here, and we are together. I don’t want to think about anyone but you,” Max smiled.

Maria smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips. “You know I’m supposed to still be mad at you,” Maria said with a fake whine. Max lightly chuckled and kissed her again, deeper this time.

“Well, you have our whole lives to be mad at me.” He laughed, as he kissed down her neck.

*I’m holding you to that,* Maria said in her head, renewing her connection with Max.

Max’s head shot up as he looked her in the eyes, *Oh I’ve missed this, baby,* he said cupping her cheek as he kissed her on the lips again.

*Me too,* Maria sent back as she pushed Max back on the bed. “You know your son likes it when we are together,” she said straddling his waist.

“What makes you say that?” Max asked, pulling off Maria’s shirt and looking at the blue handprint of his son on her stomach. He couldn’t understand why he hadn’t seen the handprint on Liz since she told him she was pregnant. But he didn’t want to think about Liz right now.

“My stomach settles when you touch me. I feel peace, even when I don’t want to,” she giggled. “He likes us to be together.” Max smiled at that and kissed her.

“Max, I missed you,” Maria said freeing him of his own shirt. She placed light kisses on his chest as he wound his fingers in her hair.

“Me too,” he said pulling her back up to his mouth. She got so lost in his kisses that she didn’t eve notice that he had removed both her pants and underwear. It wasn’t until she felt his fingers rub back and forth across her wet pussy that she knew they were gone.

“Oh god, Max,” she moaned as her head fell back. Max took this opportunity to suck on her neck, but Maria had other plans. She came back to her senses and moved her hands over the bulge in Max’s jeans, which he hadn’t taken off yet. She quickly unbuttoned and unzipped his pants and pulled them off of him, along with his boxers.

She moved back up his body and kissed him again as she straddled him, this time hovering over his cock. “Maria, god.” Max moaned placing his hands on her hips. Maria guided her opening to his cock and impaled herself on him.

“Max, shit,” she moaned leaning over as she continued to ride him. She kissed him deeply and the connection was completely restored. Max saw the vision that Maria saw when Liz mind warped her. He saw her anger, and her love for him.

He saw his son, and then he was brought back to the moment. He rolled them over so that he was on top, never stopping the trusts he was making into her. “Maria, baby, I love you.” He groaned, feeling her walls quiver around him.

“Me too, don’t stop,” she moaned, almost ready to come. Max fucked her faster and harder. “God, MAX!” she screamed as she came hard.

As she pulled on his cock, Max came as well, shooting his seed deep inside her. “MARIA! FUCK!” he growled and then rolled over on the bed next to her, bringing her into his arms.

Soon, they fell asleep, tired from the days events.

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

The next morning, Max woke to a banging on the door. Maria seemed to be dead to the world. He smiled at her and moved out of bed, wrapping a sheet around his lower half. When he opened the door he saw Isabel on the other end. She looked past him at Maria’ sleeping from and smiled. They must have made up.

“Ummm, Max it’s 9:30.” She said with a giggle. “We were kinda wondering when you and Maria were going to wake up.”

“Oh, sorry Isabel,” Max said. Isabel was taken aback. Max never apologized Being with Maria was really doing wonders for his personality. “Let me just wake Maria up.” He said.

“It’s cool, take your time,” Isabel smiled and then Max closed the door.

He walked back over to the bed. “Maria, baby wake up.” He said lightly shaking her.

“MMM,” Maria moaned pushing her head further into the pillow.

Max chuckled and said, “We’ve got to get a move on. Its late.”

“5 more minutes,” was Maria’s muffled rely. Max sighed and decided to get ready while Maria rested for a little while.

Five minutes later, Max turned back to Maria. “Maria, get up.” He said pulling the covers off of her. She defiantly tried to sleep anyway, but it was too cold.

“Fine,” she said, officially awake. “I don’t know why I’m so tired.” She replyed getting out of bed and slipping into some clothes.

“Well you are caring around a baby,” Max said as if it was the most logical thing. And really it was. Since she found out she was pregnant, she was very tired and very hungry all the time.

“Ok, I’m ready,” Maria said. “I just have to get my bag from Kyle and Michael’s room.” Max nodded and Maria went to get her stuff. When she knocked on Kyle’s door he came to it, with a smile 10 feet wide on his face.

“Hi Maria,” he said as she entered the room. Michael was already in the van and Kyle dressed, but she could tell that they had definitely had a night to remember.

“Hey Kyle,” she said on her way out with a chuckle. Hmmm, she wondered what had happened after they talked, though she was pretty sure she could use her imagination.

Max was at the van when she got out. He was looking at Liz menacingly, but Maria told him to stay calm in her head. Liz was a issue she wanted to handle if she could. He said ok and continued loading up the van.

When Maria approached him, he moved them into Liz’s line of sight and kissed her deeply. “I love you,” he said loud enough for Liz to hear.

Maria laughed, smacking him on the arm, “You’re bad,” she said, but kissed him back hoping Liz was watching every second of it. No one messed with her and got away with it. Not any more.

Maria got her wish, because as Liz looked on she sulked. How had that happened. Things were going so nicely for her yesterday, and now Kyle and Michael and most of all maria and Max were back where they were. She would just have to try something igger next time.
