Prologue
"I'm pregnant." 23 year old Liz Parker Evans blurted out to her brother. Her brother was one of few people who ever understood her and would always support her.
Michael Parker looked at his sister, it just felt like the other day that he held her in his arms days after her birth. She grew up so fast, too fast if you asked him. She was 7 when she got her first kiss, 4 when she fell in love, and 18 when she got married. Now here she was, 23, and telling him she was pregnant, his baby sister was going to have a baby.
"Congrats baby sis, did you tell Max?" He was happy for her, he loved his sister to death and if she was happy he would be too.
"I can't tell him." Liz cried. Everything seemed so perfect when they were younger. She thought back to the time she first met him. Liz and Maria were playing Barbie by the swings when Max came over to her and told her she had the most prettiest brown eyes he ever saw. Since that day she was a goner. Max was her first and only everything. He was her first kiss, her first love, he was the boy she lost her virginity too, and now he was giving her her first child.
When they first got married, everything was perfect, he loved her with all his heart, and he gave her everything she wanted. Now it was her turn to return everything to him. Max loved Liz, Liz knew it, but Max loved to act. He had this glow in his eye whenever he acted, it was the same glow he had the day that they met. Now, he finally got his first big break to make it big, and Liz wouldn't be the reason for him to hold back.
"What do you mean you can't tell him, Liz are you crazy, you know how happy Max would be, I mean a baby!" Michael loved his sister, he would always support her no matter what, but she was thinking crazy. Max was his best friend, and he deserved to know the truth.
"I will tell him, eventually, but Michael not now, he'll drop everything, he's finally going places, and in the future I don't want to be to blame for ruining everything." Liz sobbed. She knew she was being unreasonable, Max had a right to know, and she was going to tell him, but she would wait till he shot his movie. It’s not like he would know, he's in Paris, he asked her to come with him, but she couldn't drop everything, she had a business to run.
"Liz, Max loves you, he loves you more than anything in the world, he would never blame you for anything." Michael reasoned.
"No, but I would, Michael you don't get it, Max has always dropped everything to be with me, everything, now it's my turn to do it for him, I love him, and I will do anything to make sure he's happy."
"How are you so sure that acting is going to make him that happy, and raising this child with you, the love of his life, isn't?"
"I didn't say it wouldn't make him happy, I know it would, but Max has been waiting so long for it, and I will not allow him to fly back here, I won't Michael, I refuse to."
"Liz, your making a big mistake, he's going to furious when he finds out you didn't tell him."
"Then so be it Michael, I'm not telling him, and I'm begging you not to either, Michael please, I trust you, and I know I can come to you for anything, so please don't say anything." Liz begged. Michael sighed, he will always have a soft spot for his baby sister no matter what. He reached out his arm and pulled her near him and gave her a big hug.
"You know I won't say anything unless you wanted me too." He whispered into her hair.
"Thank you Michael, I have to go back to store, come by later ok." Liz said pulling back and wiping her tears away.
"Ok, see you then." Liz grabbed her purse and waved bye on her way out.
Liz owned "Desired" one of the hottest designer clothing store in downtown Manhattan. Liz was surprised with how much she achieved at the age of 23. Growing up in Roswell the idea of big business was the local café that her parents owned, "The Crashdown." It was big in Roswell but no one ever heard of it outside of Roswell, so when Liz thought of making a business she pretty much figured it would be the same way for her. Boy was she wrong. She thought of the idea of making a fashion store at the age of 17. That's how Liz is, she was always smarter than everyone in her whole school. She graduated a year earlier than everyone else in her grade and graduated out of college in just 3 years. When she told Max her idea of course he was very supportive and he helped with everything. In less than 6 years she managed to make her store one of the best.
"Crap." Liz muttered when she felt her phone vibrate in her purse. She took one strap of her shoulder and rummaged through her purse till she found her phone, she pressed the send button and put it to her ear while pulling the strap back on her shoulder.
"Hello." Liz sounded annoyed, she's been having a long day, and she was missing Max terribly.
"Hi beautiful." Max said huskily on the other end of the phone.
Liz smiled, she loved hearing his voice.
"Hi, baby! How are you doing?" Liz asked walking towards her car.
"I'm ok, missing you, what's new with you?"
"You know same old same old, just working on the business." Liz unlocked her car door and set her bag down on the passenger seat and held the phone with the help of her shoulder while she put in her key into the ignition and put the car in reverse and then drive. She placed her hand back on her phone and drove using one hand on the wheel.
"That's good, I miss you baby," Max sighed, it's been 3 weeks since he last saw Liz, and he was going crazy.
"I miss you too," Liz sighed, she wanted to tell him so badly, but if she did, she'd ruin everything for him, and she wouldn't allow that.
"Oh baby, I have to go shoot the next scene, I'll call you later, k, I love you."
"Love you too, bye." Liz shut her cell phone and tossed it next to her bag. Her life went from perfect to disaster and she didn't know if she could handle it much longer.
