::Maria:: Say All That You Have To Say

it really took every ounce of self control that Maria had not to freak out at this whole thing of dreams. She hated knowing that Michael had been acting recklessly before. She knew it had to be expected but it didn’t mean that she liked it either way. But at least now she knew that he was safe that she didn’t have to worry about him doing something fully stupid. She was fully aware that there would be moments were she wold have to make sure he was thinking before acting but she didn’t believe that it was going to be an issue like it had been before.

They had all changed so much in the past years, part of it scared Maria, had they changed to a point where they would not be able to all be together again. While things were looking great so far it didn’t mean that it was always going to be like that, and if it was not she was unsure how she would deal with that. She wanted to be able to have the same life has they had before, minus the whole having the run away from the FBI part of course.

Maria wondered how it would be to actually have the abilities that Liz had. Of course Maria being Maria she could only see the good part of it all. Being able to see what the people you loved had been through, what they were doing, how they were doing, she didn’t think of the heartache that her best friend could be dealing with. Maria had been forever jealous of what Liz was able to have, the connection she had with the rest of the aliens. She knew it was silly but she could not help herself.

“Yeah I guess I did have some good points in school but you were the smart one.” She shook her head. “No you had a life. We just didn’t go out all that much.” She felt a small pain in her chest as she thought of it all. Because the we didn’t just include Maria and Liz, it also included Alex. There was not a day that went by where Maria didn’t miss Alex, where she didn’t wonder if they could have done something differently, if they would have been able to save him. She pressed her lips together trying to not think about it. It would only make her cry. “I’m sure you are great at your job.” She told her friend truthfully.

“do you think that if you were to meet a guy who was not a creeper you would be able to go on a date with him…” she asked actually quite surprise that the creeper part had been the reason why Liz had said not to a date. She had not expected that at all. She had expected her friend to tell her she was still madly in love with Max and would never be able to date anyone else. Maria raised an eyebrow. “No Michael as not…” she said her voice trailing a bit more than she wished.

She could tell as soon as Maria had spoken the words where her thoughts had gone to, only because hers often went to him as well. Alex had always been their friend and the day that he died remained one of the worst days in her life. She couldn't miss him more if she tried and to this day she still felt immense guilt because it had been her fault that he had been killed. She wasn't sure if she had ever brought it up to Maria why she felt so guilty, however if she didn't she doubted she ever would.

Her guilt went two ways…well…more like a hundred and two but two being the main ones. The first type of guilt she felt was obvious, it was her that had brought him into the alien abyss as the blonde used to call it. It had been her that had caved when Alex had threatened to go to the sheriff and had given up Max’s secret. No one blamed her in that respect she knew because what else could she have done but tell him the truth, only if to keep the other safe. The other aspect though was far worse in her opinion.

She could still remember future Max’s words about their wedding at nineteen. Oh, we had a great wedding. You called Maria, Michael, Isabel, and Alex, and had them meet us halfway. We spent the whole night singing and dancing in some dive outside Phoenix, and at the end of the night, "I Shall Believe" came on the radio. That one conversation stuck in her head after all these years simply because she had known the day that she learned of Alex’s death that it had been her fault. Had she not altered the timeline it would have never happened.

She always looked back on those days after Alex’s death and wondered why she hadn’t put it together that it had been Tess. Looking at Future Max’s timeline and her own there was one thing that had changed, Tess had been in Roswell during hers and during Future Max’s she had already left, meaning that Alex hadn’t been killed. To this day she wanted to slap herself upside the head for ignoring the signs and not realizing what had happened…not that it would have helped matters any but at least she could have known and possibly gotten justice for Alex’s murder instead of allowing his killer to leave the planet.

Hearing Maria's question she brought herself back into the present with a shake of her brown curls. "Honestly I don't know." She replied with a shrug. "It's been a lonely five years Maria, essentially watching my life pass me by with nothing to hold on to." She replied. "However even after all these years I still only see Max Evans in my future." She stated, admitting to Maria as well as herself what had been on her mind for a long time.

She wasn't surprised that Michael hadn't mentioned Zan since he was still a bit weirded out by it herself however she reminded herself to throttle the alien hybrid the next time she saw him. "Maria, Zan...as in Max's son...he's here." She told her quietly, not wanting to use code names when she told her this. Looking around she realized with a groan that the place was getting pretty crowded so she turned to her best friend and tilted an eyebrow. "Want to take these to go and maybe take a walk in the woods?" She asked, hoping she would agree since it was daylight and that way they would have more privacy. "There's a trail inside that will make it look like we are exercising yet still give us privacy." She whispered.

They rarely talked about Alex or at least they had rarely talked about after the whole thing had went down. Maria had felt like she had been losing both her best friends. She had lost Alex because he had died and then Liz had completely lost it as far as Maria was concern. She had went on this thing where Alex had been killed and while they had eventually found out she had been right all along, Maria had been unable to believe her. She had not wanted to talk about it or even think about it for that matter.

The blonde woman didn’t know the guilt her best friend was carrying, maybe had she known this would have been different, perhaps she could have understood why her friend had been reacting the way she had been. But there were part of the information that she didn’t have and it made it somewhat impossible for her to even begin to understand what her friend was dealing with. Dealing with the death of your best friend was one thing but having to deal with the guilt that it could have been your fault was something else completely.
Maria could easily remember the talk she had had with her best friend almost begging her to cry with her to finally let go of the murder conspiracies because she needed her best friend with her. It had been a terrible moment for both young women and neither of them were able to fully be there for one another. It had been painful and yet it had been something they had managed to get through, if Liz had not acted the way she had perhaps they would have never known that Alex had been murdered.

She always looked back on those days after Alex’s death and wondered why she hadn’t put it together that it had been Tess. Looking at Future Max’s timeline and her own there was one thing that had changed, Tess had been in Roswell during hers and during Future Max’s she had already left, meaning that Alex hadn’t been killed. To this day she wanted to slap herself upside the head for ignoring the signs and not realizing what had happened…not that it would have helped matters any but at least she could have known and possibly gotten justice for Alex’s murder instead of allowing his killer to leave the planet.

But there was no need to dwell on it because she knew they would never be able to change the past. They had done some mistakes and they just needed to learn to live with them. She blinked a few times trying to get the tears away from her eyes. She couldn’t start crying now, if she did she didn’t think she would ever be able to stop and well that was not smart. Thinking about Alex always did that to her.

“I totally understand what you mean.” Of course now it was different because Michael was there but had they meet before she had found Michael again, she would have found herself in the same position as Liz. “I know it’s silly and I know we should not, but.” She sighed and ran a hand into her hair. “Have you thought about trying to find him again?” she knew it was not smart she knew it went against everything they had planned but seeing her friend dealing with so much pain was too much for her to deal with. She needed to do something.

And of course the universe always had a strange way of making everything even more wrong than it should be. Zan Max’s son had to be here and be a constant reminder to her best friend of the man she had loved and still did. Her eyes grew wide but before she had a chance to say something else, her friend proposed a walk. ‘’that works…’’ she said getting up from where she was and letting Liz lead the way because she had no idea where her friend was taking her, but she also knew that it would be easier for them to talk if they were away from the rest of the world for a moment.

She shook her head at the blonde’s question. “No, I haven’t. I mean don’t get me wrong, I’ve dreamt of it. I’ve dreamt of what we would say to one another if we saw each other again, but then they all turn into nightmares of the Special Unit finding us, finding him, and then I’m back to being sixteen years old and running from the FBI with my alien boyfriend who was just cut up by the FBI and Agent Pierce and then I’m back to hearing Max and Isabel’s mother talking about him and Tess being married and that’s usually when I wake up.” She told her truthfully, admitting just one of the nightmares that often plagued her subconscious.

“I would love to find him again, but I don’t want to put him or myself in danger. If we see each other again it will have to be chance or maybe fate, if such a thing really exists, I cannot put us or any of you in danger because of my selfish desire to be with him again.” She finished up, knowing that her best friend would understand what she meant. She and Maria may have not been around each other for the past five years but that didn’t mean that they didn’t know each other any less.

She quickly set some money down and left her best friend out into the woods and onto the path, making sure that they were inconspicuous while still being cautious, something that Liz had mastered over the past five years. “So, ready for the story? It’s insane I’m just going to tell you that now. And while we may be outside, let’s try to use inside voices if a squeal comes out, okay?” She asked with a teasing smile, though her eyes still looked haunted.

“So since I am a newer teacher at Mystic Falls High School I got roped into taking the parenting class on a field trip since my seniors don’t have class on Fridays. I get there and just sort of hang out with the teacher when I hear her sigh. I look over and a young boy quite literally stands up and goes and sits in the time out corner, but his teacher never directed him to do so. Mrs. Johnson I believe the woman’s name was, she told me that his name was Alexzander and that the little boy was adopted and very shy. His adopted father had died and his mother gave him back to DFS when she pretty much lost it after her husband died. Apparently Alexzander liked to be in the time out chair because it comforted him or something along those lines, at least that’s what his teacher said.” She started, trying to remember the details of the day.

"Before I could ask any questions one of my extremely dramatic juniors screamed by name and gave me a piece of paper that a child had given her, of course she shoved it into my hand and gave me a paper cut. I unfortunately got a tiny bit freaked out because my blood has been altered a bit over the years if you catch my drift. Anyway I was looking for a napkin and the little boy who had been in the time out chair and came towards the table. Unfortunately I was still bleeding and had to sit down and stick my finger in my mouth like an idiot so no blood would get anywhere. I have no idea how it bled so much but who knows." She continued on, remembering the next part of her tale and wincing as she knew that there was a large chance that Maria would freak out. It was just another thing that Tess had lied to them about.

"This little boy, the cutest little thing I've ever seen by the way, he comes up to me and says that he can help. He pulls my hand out of my mouth and then puts his tiny hand over it, and all of a sudden I'm getting flashes, and I look down and my cut is gone. I looked up and realized exactly who he was, and instead of all that animosity that I felt back then, all I could think was that this was Max's child. He had tears in his eyes and in that moment he looked so much like Max that I did the first thing that came to mind. I pulled him into my arms and just hugged him." She told her, wiping a stray tear that she hadn't even noticed rolled down her cheek as she relived the first meeting between her and her soul-mates child.

Liz was most likely the strongest person she knew. No she had to be the strongest one. If Maria had been the one who had to deal with everything that Liz had to deal with, she would have gone insane. She was sure of it. Liz, she was something else. It had been so long since she had last managed to talk to Liz, really talk to her and have her open up, it ws almost painful. Maria couldn’t help but wonder if Liz ever open up to anyone else like this? Of course not, it was not like you could talk to just about anyone when it came to the whole alien stuff. It was painful to know that your best friend had been keeping so much to herself for so long. It hurt to know that she had not been there of her when her friend had needed her.

“You need to believe…” she said but of course it was easier said than done. “There is still fate our there and I know that someway somehow you both will find your way back to one another.” She told her friend. “But still in understand why you don’t want to reach out to him.” Maria nodded. “one fine day both of you will find each other again and everything will be the way it was…with less running around.” She added quickly. No they could not keep on running the way they had been forever. One day they would find a way to just stay in one place.

She quickly set some money down and left her best friend out into the woods and onto the path, making sure that they were inconspicuous while still being cautious, something that Liz had mastered over the past five years. “So, ready for the story? It’s insane I’m just going to tell you that now. And while we may be outside, let’s try to use inside voices if a squeal comes out, okay?” She asked with a teasing smile, though her eyes still looked haunted.

With a nod of her head and a roll of her eyes, Maria laughed. “I will do my best to use my inside voice. I think I might have one hiding somewhere.” She explained. “But yes completely ready and calm…” well she was mostly calmish but it would have to do all things considered. She listened to her friend tell her story and couldn’t help but laugh. Of course Liz would end up getting roped into something she did not really want to do. Liz had always had a big heart and took more on her shoulders than she really needed but she could not really blame the girl now could she? It was one of the many reason why Liz was her best friend.

She couldn’t help but feel her heart pulling at the little boy who had been abandon before. But her eyes grew wide as she listen to the story, the blood, now that could have done something pretty awful and of course Liz would freak out over it. She gasps a hand over her mouth as Liz finished telling the story. She could not even begin to understand how it must have felt to have seen Max’s son like that. To have him find her like that, or maybe he was the one who found her. Either way it was painful and yet beautiful. She didn’t know what to think and was thankful she had had the brain of putting her hand to her mouth to cover what would have most likely been a loud gasp.

“oh wow Liz…” it was all that Maria could manage to say really. She didn’t think she would be able to say anything else. “So where is he now? I mean where does he lives?” the blonde woman was completely confused about all the information that was getting thrown her way. She reached over and gave Liz a small hug forcing both woman to stop walking for a moment. “it will be okay you know?” she told him. “I’m here for you and I’m not going anywhere I promise you that.” She whispered.

She laughed as Maria tried to gather her thoughts. She knew exactly what Maria was feeling since she had felt everything over the past few weeks. “Right now he’s at school…though I do have to pick him up later.” She stated, her head falling as she said those words. She knew that Maria wasn’t going to like her solution but she also knew that there was no way around it. She had done the best she could with the short amount of time she had in order to think of a plan with the resources that she had. It may be messy but she hoped that her best friend would see why she had to do what she had done.

“I couldn’t let him stay there Maria. Not only because he was a Czechoslovakian but also because that place was horrible. I went to visit him a few days later and he had a black eye from some kid who was picking on him. He wouldn’t even fight back, he just let that kid beat him up because he knew that he had to keep his powers safe. It was like what Michael and Max and Isabel told us…they knew they were different but they also knew that they had to keep themselves hidden.” She told her, the brunette’s brown eyes boring into her best friend’s.

“So after I hugged him and he cried, I knew I had to talk to him but I couldn’t do it in front of everyone. So I told him to wait there and I pulled his teacher aside and told her this big old long drawn out story about how my husband and I were looking into adopting because I couldn’t have kids and that there was something about the little boy that drew me in but I wanted to talk to him before I had him meet my husband. Luckily the woman agreed so Zan and I went outside and talked for awhile.” She continued her story, hoping that Maria wouldn’t kill her or Michael before she could finish it.

“I told him my real name but told him he had to call me Claudia in public. I asked him what his was and he told me that his given name was Alexzander but he went by Zan. Then he straight up asks me what his biological father’s name was. I thought my heart was going to stop. I told him what his dad’s name was and told him how much he reminded me of him. Then he asked me what his mom’s name was and I told him. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do…to look at that little boy and tell him the few good things that I knew about Tess. How was I supposed to tell him that his mother killed my best friend? I couldn’t. So I told him what I knew…and that was that she loved her son and died for him.” She told Maria, knowing that she would know exactly what she had gone through with talking about Tess since she had been a sensitive subject to both women.

"We talked a little bit more and then he begged me to take him with me. I told him that I couldn't take him at that moment because I had no legal standing to take him. I was honest and told him that in the eyes of the law I was simple a friend of a friend. I told him I'd think of something and then I...I called Michael. And I told him everything and that I had an idea but he wasn't going to like it but I wasn't giving him a choice. I went back to Zan and gave him my other cell phone and told him to keep it with him until I came to pick it up. Then I went home and met up with Michael." She continued on, knowing that Maria would probably getting frustrated with her for stalling but she felt as if she needed to know the whole story.

“When I got there I told him that the courts wouldn’t legally accept an adoption without two parents. So Michael and I made a fake marriage certificate to ‘adopt’ Zan. Well, technically we’re his foster parents until I can figure out a better way than lying to the legal system and how to get around certain things but for now…yeah…that’s how I’ve got him. Michael has seen him a time or two but for the most part it’s been me and Zan. He goes to school and has made a couple friends but yeah, he lives with me for now.” She finished, knowing that there was good chance her best friend’s head was going to explode or that she was going to kill both Michael and her.

Maria was following her friend physically and mentally but that was until Liz mentioned that she had to pick him up later. Now Maria was not stupid and she knew what that meant. She could read between the lines but she didn't want to believe that it was true. Surely her friend would not do something like that right? "wait what does that even mean?" she whispered she knew that Liz would not lie to her but she was also pretty sure that she would not like the answer she was getting from her friend either. Maria did her best to calm herself down not wanting to freak out on her friend. Breathe maria breathe she reminded herself.


Biting her tongue she let her best friend finished explaining the whole thing to her. She felt the string of her heart pulling into different directions as Liz told the story. Poor kid. She could not imagine how lonely his life was. Max, Michael and Isabel had always had each other but Zan didn't. He didn't have anyone to share what he was dealing with to. No family no nothing. Of course Liz couldn't leave him there, Maria didn't even think she herself would have been able to leave him behind either.


When Liz told her about the lie that she had told the teacher, Maria couldn't help but smirk. Well there went her best friend lying to someone with more or less some authority to get to Zan. It was strange how much she had grew and yet Maria still had trouble seeing her friend as the strong mature woman she had become. Maybe it was because of the time they had spent apart, they both had missed so much about one another during the past years and well growing up at been part of it. Maria had figured that in this whole story Max was the husband, that Liz would have found a way to contact Max and bring him into this whole thing. So Max and herself could adopt him and when things became safe again, Max would come back into their lives. That the whole being away thing was just temporary anyway right?


The more she listen to the story the more Maria was smiling, she could not help it, even if she felt like her friend was insane to have adopted the kid of her soul mate and enemies, it was still a beautiful story, she knew that Zan would be in good hands with Liz and that soon enough he would have his father back anyway. It would all work out in the end. She needed to know the end of the story as she listen to her friend she felt like Liz was hiding something from her and it could not be good. It was never good when Liz felt like she was on edge or something like there. "I think you did good. He does not need to deal with all the wrong things his mother did. And beside Tess did love him more than anything..." Well Maria could easily say that she hated Tess, she could also say that Tess had really loved her son and that she would have done anything for him, there was no questions about it. Still it was wonderful that Liz had managed to put every negative feel she had for the woman and make sure that her son thought that she was not a heartless monster.


This story was clearly dragging on Maria didn't like it one bit. She almost wanted to tell Liz to just get to the good part already but she managed to calm down. Well she had stayed calmed until her best friend mentioned meeting with Michael. Why hadn't Michael told her about this meeting? Why had he kept it from her? but then the bomb was dropped. Maria knew she should understand why they had done it, she knew she should not be mad at them but she couldn’t help it. The words could not even form into her mouth as she listen.

‘’So wait what you are saying is that you are `married` to my boyfriend?’’ she asked using air quotes. ‘’In the eyes of the law you are both married?’’ she didn’t really understood what this whole thing meant but she knew she did not like it. She started to walk again deeper down the path trying to clear her head. ‘’I don’t know what to say Liz…you are married to my boyfriend…’’ she said her voice raising slightly.

She laughed when Maria tried to interject at asking her what she meant about picking Zan up. It at least gave her the knowledge that Maria was listening. She knew that her best friend was going to have a hard time when she told her story and while she understood that she really wasn’t sure how to get around telling her without just giving it to her straight up. She hated that she was going to hurt the blonde woman who was more like her family than her friend but she also knew that anyone else in her situation would have most likely done the same thing…maybe not…but they hadn’t been asked to either.

"No, in the eyes of the law "MJ and Claudia are married"." She told her, trying to calm her down. “Remember, Claudia nor MJ even exist. Liz Parker and Michael Guerin, are at each other’s throats most of time because Michael Guerin thinks Liz Parker is a science geek who thinks too much and also is much too emotional. Liz Parker thinks that Michael Guerin doesn’t use his brain for many things and is also much too impulsive for his or anyone else’s own good.” She told her, trying to make her point.

“I couldn’t leave Zan there Maria. And who else was I supposed to call? Michael was here. He was a mile away from me and I needed someone to help then. You weren’t in town yet or else I would have asked you two to do it and then just leave him with me. But I literally had to act quickly because I was scared that either someone was going to figure out who or what he was, or that he was going to be adopted and get taken away…neither of those options were okay with me.” She told her, praying that her best friend would understand where she was coming from.

“If it makes you feel any better Michael about flipped his shit when I told him what I wanted him to do. I believe his first words were ‘Do you want Maria to kill me?’” She stated with a laugh, hoping that the blonde would find it as amusing as she had. “Again, it’s not like we had some crazy ceremony. We faked papers. No one took any vows, hell I think the paper we changed was one of my students science reports.” She told her earnestly. “Please don’t be angry. This was not done to hurt you…you know that I would never do that. This was simply done to protect this secret like we’ve been doing since we were sixteen years old and to protect a little boy who in no way asked to be brought into the middle of this.”

She knew that this was going to be difficult for her friend to accept, because she could see it from her side. If she would have come into town and found out that Max and Maria were pretending to be married she knew she would have freaked out, so she could understand it…but that didn’t mean that she wouldn’t still try and convince the woman that she was doing this for the greater good because that was exactly why she had done what she had done.

This whole thing didn’t make sense and for the first time since she had come here, Maria wished she would wake up from this. That it was a dream. Not the whole being around each other again part but just the whole, we are married and have adopted a child together part. But she knew this was not a dream, she should have seen this coming, she should have known that things were not going to be perfect forever that soon enough things were going to turn for the worst. No one could be that lucky right. she felt like the air was stuck inside of her lungs. She didn’t want to cry but she also knew that she was right there, almost on the edge.



Even as Liz kept talking, Maria could barely listen. She could hear the words but it was like her mind was blocking all of this. She didn’t want to hear another word of it, she felt betrayed, felt like her best friend had went behind her back and hurt deeper than anyone had hurt her before. She had a half smile as she heard the explanation of Liz, Michael and Liz had always been far more like siblings than anything else really. She needed to focus on this. But she could not. Married. It was all she could focus on. The whole married part of it all.


When Liz asked her what else she could have done, Maria wished she had answer for her, which she could fix all of this with an answer, tell Liz what she should have done but she knew there had been no other way to deal with this, it had been the only one. She shook he head, her hair falling around her face. She understood the situation that Liz had been in and it made her so mad that it had been the only way. Mad at Liz for thinking about it, mad at Michael of agreeing to this, mad at herself for being mad at the people she loved the most who were just trying to help a little guy.


Maria had a sad laugh as she heard Liz speak the words of Michael. She turned around to face her best friend again. “I know it has not been made to hurt me, that neither of you had been planning on this…” she sighed. “But you can’t ask me to not be angry about the whole thing. I haven’t seen any of you in years really and you are married or at least the persons you pretend that you are are married. I’m not really angry with you but I’m angry at the situation.” Maria said trying to explain what she was feeling. “I mean I know you are not really married to him but still how does that work? People see him and his ring and thinks it’s for you?” she asked her friend trying to stay calm.


Why couldn’t they have told her this already? Why had Michael kept quiet about it. It was frustrating, he was so going to hear from her when she came. If he thought he could do this to her and she would not do anything about it, he was very wrong. She had been hurt by him before and while she knew this was different, it didn’t meant she was okay with it.

She sighed and put her hand on her best friend’s arm before bringing her to a bench that was a few yards out from the walk way. No one ever came this far from what she had seen and if they did she would definitely see them coming so they could talk about something else before they were in hearing range. It was also nice and sunny which allowed no vampires or anything of the like to come near them which allowed them the freedom to talk while still being mildly comfortable, or as comfortable as they were going to get when the conversation was the way that it was.

“Okay, Ria, listen to me. I know why you’re mad…I would be mad too. However think about it this way. If I had a child out there somewhere that I gave up for adoption. Max found him but the only way that he could get him and keep him out of danger would be to pretend to marry you…wouldn’t you do it for me? Or Michael if the situation was reversed exactly and it was Michael’s child?” She asked her, trying desperately to get her best friend to understand why she had done what she had done.

“If there would have been another way I would have done it.” She told her, her eyes watering at the thought of hurting her friend. “I just didn’t know how to contact anyone. Hell if you want I can have Michael switch the paperwork and we can break into the counties office and have the two of you listed as his parents. You’d have to deal with social worker visits and such but for the rest of the time he could stay with me. I don’t care how we do it as long as Zan stays safe away from other aliens and the Special Unit.” She continued, her tone almost begging.

She shook her head at her question, holding out both hands which were both ringless. “No one knows.” She told her. “Really, the only two people who know are the judge and the woman at Zan’s school. That’s it. And, they’ve never met Michael. I said he had to work and I was the only one there, Michael is simply a signature on a piece of paper. That’s it. No one has seen him, I still go by Ms. Smith at school, not Mrs so none of my students think I’m married because I’m not. And if anyone sees Zan with me I tell them that he’s a friend of mine’s child which he is. I lied to two people about Claudia being married to MJ simply to get custody of Max’s son. No one else. You guys go out on a date people are going to think you’re a cute couple. They see me and Michael together they’re wondering whose going to kill each other first.” She stated before laughing a tiny bit.

“Do you remember earlier this week when Michael barged in and as soon as he saw you run out what did he do? He ran after you. Didn’t even know I was in the room. So you have nothing to worry about. Again, a signature on a piece of paper, that is not even legal by the way.” She told her, hoping she would understand.

Even though she was unsure of what she was feeling, she still let Liz walk her over to the bench. Even with the frustruation she was feeling, she knew that she would not be able to stay mad at Liz forever. She was her best friend. And there was not much she wouldn’t do for her friend. It was just a lot to deal with right now but she knew that if there was someone who could make her feel better it was Liz. She had always been the more rational out of the two of them. The one who though before acting. While Maria was the one who could easily freak out over anything, Liz was the calm one, or well at least calmer one.
“why do you have to be so smart…” she said with a half smile. Liz was so good at being able to make her see things the right way. “I understand Liz, it’s just so I don’t even know. I mean I want this child to be able to have a good life and I know you can provide him that and I also know that MJ and Claudia are not really real. But still.” She shook her head and closed her eyes for a moment. “this is just so much to deal with all at once…” she explained.

Maria looked over at Liz and as she saw her friend her eyes started to water as well. “Don’t cry Liz, please don’t cry!” she said reaching over to give her best friend a hug. “I understand and I am not mad at you… just don’t cry okay?” she added before letting go of her friend and shaking her head. “no no don’t be silly. You know I will get over it and I know that it’s about what is best for Zane and not what is best to help me sleep at night.” While Maria could be pretty selfish at times, even she had her limits. And she really did want what was the best for Zane.

As she kept listening to Liz, Maria felt the anger she had been feeling going a little bit. Almost as if Liz’s word were helping her to finally let go. “I’m sorry Liz, I really shouldn’t have reacted the way I did. I should have taken the time to understand the information you were giving me instead of just…you know being me and pulling a maria.” She said with a laugh before shaking her head and burying her face into her hands for a moment. “Are our lives ever going to be simple?” she asked her friend as she finally looked up. “I mean I feel like we are always running that everything is always complicated for us…” she explained. “I should never have doubted you I mean you did what you had to do.” She said feeling childish for the way she had acted. “I guess I was just so surprised that no one told me you know? But what are you going to do now? I mean are you keeping Zan?”

She laughed softly at the blonde’s question about her being smart. “Depends on what kind of smart you’re talking about. Book smarts? Because I liked to learn. Life smarts? Because I had to grow up fast. We all did. We all had to learn how to think on our feet and to protect ourselves. And I can’t say that that started when we grew apart after leaving Roswell because it didn’t. From the day of the shooting we all had to learn. Hell from the day that Isabel, Michael and Max came out of the pods, they had to learn not only to blend in with us, but how to keep their secret. And then we came along, we had to learn right along with them.” She stated, her mind clearly on the past.

Shaking her head she smiled as her best friend apologized. “You have absolutely no reason to be sorry. I know how you feel. I would have wigged out if I would have heard that you and Max were married, even on paper. So that’s why I explained the way that I did because I knew when I did it that you would be mad. I just didn’t see any other way.” She told her with a sad smile before hugging her best friend back tightly, once again reveling in the fact that for the moment anyhow that one of her loved ones was safe in her arms and there wasn’t anything that could tear them apart in that moment. She knew there was a good chance they would be separated once again eventually so she would cherish the times that she had with her in order to make it through the next hard times.

“Have our lives been simple since we were sixteen?” She asked, answering a question with a question. “I think we both know the answer to that. God did you ever think our lives were going to turn out like this? I knew when we got involved, when I got us involved with Max, Michael and Isabel, that our lives would be different. But I think that I thought that the only difference would be that we knew. I didn’t ever think that it would get this insane. I never thought for a moment that we would have to be separated to keep ourselves alive. I never once thought we’d be running from the FBI or enemy aliens, or both.” She stated, looking out into the woods as she spoke.

“Honestly? When we first got together with Max and Michael I could see our futures in my head. I know now that they were just dreams but I could see them Maria.” She told her, focusing her attention back on her best friend. You going off to New York to get this great singing career and using Michael as your body guard. Alex becoming some big shot IT guy and marrying Isabel once she finally realized how perfect they were for each other. Me going off to Harvard to become the head of molecular biology and Max becoming an English professor there. After you got your dreams you’d have a house in Boston so you could visit. Alex and Isabel too. Then that plan went up in smoke the day that Tess walked in. And I hate her for it.” She whispered, having not spoken of her dislike for Tess in a long time.

"I know but you have always had a way of making me see things differently, making me realised things I had not understood before. I mean that kind of smart, you have a way of explaining stuff that makes it seems like everything makes more sense suddently. And I like that about you." Both women had always been so different and yet so close to one another, Maria didn't see herself being best friend with anyone else. Liz was like the sister the world had never gave her. They understood each other to a deeper level than anyone would understand.



"yeah I guess we were never really given a choice when it came to learning things people should not have to deal with..." she whispered. Thankfully for them, Liz and Maria had not been frced into it at a young age like Michael, Max and Isabel. Both girls had been given a choice and a chance to back out of it if so they wanted which they had of course refused. And still today if Maria was asked if she would make things differently she would not. She would not change anything for the world. She was okay with the life she had now even if it meant she could not see the people she love as often as she wished. "Still I should have let the time for the information to sink in before I went all crazy on you..." Maria said softly.


Maria shook her head. No their lives had not been simple ever since Liz had gotten shot. She could still remember that day like it was yesterday. She could still remember the fear she had when she had seen Liz fall to the ground, but then the confusion. It was not that she had been unhappy that Liz was alive but she also knew what she had seen. She didn’t believe the whole falling and breaking the bottle of ketchup and that it was not blood. But she would never have been ready for what she was about to find out. That aliens excited that one of them had saved her best friend. That she would be falling in love with one of them, that everything in her life would change forever.


Her heart sank as she listen to her friend telling her about who she had seen their lives being. They had forever lost the chance of such a thing happening to them and it broken her heart. She wished that things would have been different. That Alex was still around to share the small moments they could have together. It was probably the part that hurt the most, the fact that she would never be able to have Alex around her again, that this part of her life had disappeared forever. ‘’I know what you mean, I often wonder what our lives would have been like if she had not been around. I mean everything changed so fast when she showed up…’’ Maria said sadly. She hated to think about Tess and Alex but she also knew that sometimes these things needed to be talked about and well Liz was most likely the best person to talk to about this.

She smiled at the blonde. “Well you always had a way of making me come out of my shell. You know me, if it hadn’t have been for you I would have been completely content to spend my entire life behind a microscope with a well trained monkey by my side making strides in the microbiology world.” She told her with a laugh, somehow remembering that same line from Gilmore Girls…though she had changed it a little bit. I was made to be in a lab or an operating room or a bunker somewhere with a well-behaved monkey by my side. she had absolutely no idea why the quote came to her then but it seemed to work well in the situation.

“But thanks to you I got out there and was able to see the world in a way that I had never done so before. So I may be book smart, but you are smart in ways that I’ll never be. I guess that’s why you and I always made a good team.” She told her with a soft smile. The two had always been extremely close, closer than most friends she knew. Even now, five years after they had seen one another it seemed as if they were able to just pick up right where they had left off.

She chuckled a bit and smiled. “But then you wouldn’t have been you. You were always one to freak out at first and then once things sunk in you were completely determined. I remember in fifth grade when you found out that Todd Emerson liked you. You freaked out because he was a sixth grader. It took you weeks of being able to look anyone in the eye, and then when you finally sifted through it you were like ‘Oh, okay.’ And went on like nothing had happened. That’s just the way that you are. Me, I’m the exact opposite. I look at things from a scientific standpoint. I look at things and then later on when I’m by myself I realize exactly what I got myself into and I freak out.” She told her with another chuckle. “I think that’s another reason why we make a good team. Neither of us tend to freak out at the same time. In the beginning I’m the level head and then later on you’re the level head.” She smirked.

“I think about it a lot…what would have happened if Tess hadn’t been around. I can see you and Michael still being together, there wouldn’t be all those questions that were brought up. Sure Michael had questions before hand but he also knew realistically that there wasn’t a very high chance to get them answered so he usually listened to Max and calmed down. Isabel was finally getting off of her high horse. She was getting along with us, starting to make headway with Alex. Alex would still be alive. And Max and I… we were doing really well until she showed up. None of us were ever the same after she came into our lives.” She stated, feeling guilty because a part of her truly did love Zan and didn’t want to wish him away but the selfish part of her did wish that Tess had never come into their lives.

Maria couldn’t help but laugh at the mental image she was getting. She could easily see such a thing happening. “I guess this is why we are best friends, I mean we really did complete each other in a way that no one else could.” And of course in all of this there had been Alex who had been the strong one, while from looking from the outside it might not have looked that way, it had been the job that Alex had fell into and he had exelled at it. Maria could easily remember the night she had come to him after having seen Michael with Courtney and Alex had not only been there to take care of her, he had also went to Michael to let him know just how much he had hurt Maria.

The blonde woman would always not only remember that moment but also cherish it, because she knew how much she had meant to Alex, how much he had cared for her just as deeply as she had cared for him. Alex, Liz and Maria had always been the bestest friends and had completed each other in ways that she had never believed someone else could understand because how could anyone understand?


Maria listened as Liz explain to her the way their friendship worked in moments of crisis. “yeah I guess you are right. it takes me a while but I always managed to calm down and usually right about the moment where you start to freak out. And I never look at things in the scientific point of view. Which of course is not always smart. Remember the time where I go an aqua bra and we went into the woods? The thing literally froze?” she laughed shaking her head. “I mean the thing did get me a lot of dates but what in the world was I thinking?” of course she had been thinking she wanted to get to Michael and piss him off. She had wanted to get his attention, the same thing she had tried to do so many times before.


Life would have been a lot easier if Tess had never been around. Their lives would not have been turned upside down. Maria knew that their lives would never have been easy, she was not asking for that, but without Tess around, things would have been easier, maybe a bit simpler and of course the biggest part of it would have been to have Alex back into their lives. He would not have been taken away from them. Alex had had his whole life ahead of him and in just one moment it had been taken away. “I really don’t like to think about it you know? Because I hate knowing what was taken from us…”
