Chapter 10
Liz stated in awe at the chaos in the courtroom after Tess Harding’s confession. She had to take deep breaths or she would pass out. That was a guarantee.
“Order”, yelled the judge.
“Order”, yelled the judge again until everyone sat down.
Liz felt Max slip his hand through hers but other than that she felt numb. She felt betrayed. Not only had Tess Harding hurt her son but she had hurt her too. Tess Harding was pure evil in her book. Liz got up slowly and walked to the front of the courtroom.
She faced Mr. Harding and asked, “Is that true?”.
Mr. Harding’s expression was all she needed to know that yes indeed the devil’s spawn was her sister. Liz nodded her head before walking towards Max that had a look of concern on his face.
“That’s right bitch you are the whore your mother was”, yelled Tess.
Liz’s back went ridge with hate and anger. She pivoted on her feet and stood to face Tess Harding. The woman that even though biologically related to her was nothing like her.
“Umm I see Tess, my mother the whore, I guess she must have been something because obviously your father couldn’t get enough, but I’m not going to get into a pissing contest with you. I feel sorry for you, you have no one, Tess you will end up alone and I don’t even feel sad for you. You call me a whore, but who has been selling her pussy around here Tess, the only one I know of is Pam Troy, you and your father. I could give a rat’s ass about your father’s affair, it doesn’t matter to me. You don’t matter to me. You are nothing and after this trial is over I won’t even remember what you look like. DO you know why? I’m getting married to the man of my dreams, I have a son to raise, and then I have to raise the child that is in my womb. So you see Tess because of your actions to destroy Max Evans, you made me the happiest woman alive. So Thanks Tess for making all my dreams come true”, said Liz walking up to her and smiling.
Tess glared but what Liz did next shocked her. Liz lifted up her fist and brought it down hard at her face. Tess’s head flew back in pain.
“That’s for hurting Aidan, come near me or my family again, Tess I’ll make you bleed”, said Liz walking out of the courtroom.
Tess looked at her in shock.
“Oh little Lizzie, finally got balls huh, but what you failed to see is that you will always be second best, you are nto Aidan’s mother even with how hard you may think that and you had my leftovers in Max”, sneered Tess.
What she failed to realize was when she was carrying on like that she was killing her case.
“Oh I’m never second best, there had to be a first, Max is in love with me only me, Aidan is my son, mine no one else, I didn’t replace his mother because he never had one to begin with. You abandoned your child, for your lesbian lover. You are sick and disgusting, Tess. Throughout of this you have not once said that you love Aidan or wanted him back, all you cared about was your revenge on Max for something he didn’t do to you. Pam Troy accused this man of rape, you are sick both of you make me sick, how could you hurt an innocent man hurt an innocent child”, yelled Liz with Tess in her eyes.
The whole courtroom looked at her. Max walked towards her but she held up her hand telling him that she had to finish this. Max nodded his head in understanding. He wanted this over so that him and Liz could go and enjoy their lives together. He was surprised that the judge allowed this in her courtroom but he wasn’t going to say anything. Liz shifted her attention to Pam troy.
“He didn’t want you, you knew that, you always did. You knew that he wasn’t going to give you a commitment. While I don’t agree with how Max used to live his life, he never lies. He has always been honest and I know he told you the truth. He told you he didn’t want to be with you for more than a night. You let you petty pride almost destroy a man, how do you look at yourself in the mirror”, said Liz.
Pam Troy lowered her head. She knew all that Liz said was right. Max had told her that whatever they did was for only one night. He wasn’t interested in nothing but sex with her. Liz shifted her attention to Mr. Harding that was looking down at his clasped hands.
“Look at Me”, yelled Liz making him snap his head up.
He voice carried throughout the courtroom like a whip snapping back.
“You are not my father, Jeff Parker is my father, he was there for me throughout everything. He read me bedtime stories, he kissed me when I would cry, he was there to harass my first date, he was there when I got accepted to college, he was there to hug me when I was nominated Valedictorian of my high school. He was there when I told him about Max and how Aidan was to be his grandson. He accepted it all because he loves me. He never felt that he was ashamed of me, and trust me I have made my share of mistakes. I will never be your daughter. I don’t know you and the little that I know I know I don’t want to know you. The way you raised Tess thank god you abandoned me because I would hate to think that I would be like her. I feel sorry for you though because after all those years trying to hide your affairs, it’s now being broadcasted on national TV. Your wife is watching, I feel for her though to be stuck with two evil animals like you and that bitch over there”, said Liz.
Mr. Harding just stared at her.
“You are nothing to me and never will be”, said Liz growling.
Mr. Harding nodded his head and frowned sadly. Liz looked around and saw Tess glaring at her.
“I don’t want to be here anymore Max, this case is done, we all know that. Judge thank you for giving me the time to vent out my anger. You didn’t have to but you did, so thank you”, said Liz.
Liz walked towards Max.
“Get Aidan”, whispered Liz.
Max nodded his head walking towards the judge’s cambers to get his son. Everyone in the courtroom was silent. They have never seen a court case quite like this before.
“Mommy”, yelled Aidian running towards her.
Liz smiled and bent down to pick up her little man.
“Let’s go home”, said Liz looking at her family.
Max took her hand kissing it and he and Liz walked out with the rest of them following out. Maria tailed out last but turned around at the last minute walking up to Tess and looked at her.
“You nasty bitch, I always wondered why your teeth was so yellow, now I know, its because you had your face in Pam Troy’s herpes invested cunt, happy std’s, hope the itch doesn‘t bother you too much”, smiled Maria before walking out.
The judge looked at her in shock before laughing out loud.
4 Months Later……..
“Aidan baby did you pick up your toys?”, asked Liz waddling in.
She was almost 8 months pregnant and walking around was hard enough. These past 4 months have been great to Liz and Max. Max finished his first semester in medical school and now they would be spending Christmas vacation together. Liz had decided to go to college via the internet so she wouldn’t be that behind. She was taking this year as well as the next year to take care of her children. The best part of course was the result of the trial. Both Pam Troy and Tess Harding was served with 15 years each in prison with no chance for parole. Maria didn’t think it was enough and she made it her job to campaign for them to get more. They knew not to let their guards down because the threat that Mr. Harding gave them scared them. He promise to appeal the judge’s ruling and get them for ruining his life and career.
“Yes momma, I did”, said Aidan smiling at her from his position on the floor in his room. He ran up to her hugging her stomach.
“Hey baby, do you want to visit Aunt Maria and the babies?”, asked Liz.
“Yay”, yelled Aidan smiling and going to his closet to get his shoes.
Maria had delivered a baby girl and a baby boy. Serena delivered her baby last week a beautiful little girl. It was the first time that any one had seen Michael and Zan cry over anything. Especially Zan, he had built up this stonewall for so long after his parents died that he hardly ever did something like cry but when he saw his little girl for the first time he bawled like a baby. He was trying to keep it together but Serena had a tough labor. It was a touch an go there for a while but both mother and child made it out okay, but for some reason Zna made it his mission to make sure that they were always protected.
“Nana Nancy”, yelled Aidan when she spotted Liz’s mother.
“Oh Aidan give me some sugar”, said Nancy hugging Aidan with all her might.
She was happy when her daughter called. She knew that Liz was upset with them when they didn’t tell her that she was adopted but she knew now that Liz had forgiven them when she invited them to visit with her family. Nancy closed her eyes remembering the firs time that she met Max’s family but especially when she met Aidan. It was a little over two weeks after the trial of Tess Harding.
Flashback…….
“Mom, Dad”, said Liz spying her parents at the airport.
She ran to them and threw herself in her parents arms. Nancy Parker had tears in her eyes. She may not have giving birth to Liz but she was her daughter. Max smiled at his girlfriend and her parents.
He held Aidan and smiled, “Let’s go met Liz’s mom and dad okay”, said Max.
Aidan nodded his head.
“Well who do we have here”, said Nancy looking at Max and his son.
Liz told them all about it, and they saw a lot on the televised court case.
“Hi”, said Aidan holding out his hand with a big smiling on his face.
“Mommy say you is her mommy, so you gots to be my gamma”, said Aidan smiling.
“Nows I got two gammas, and two’s ganpas”, said Aidan smiling and planting a noisy kiss on her cheeks.
Nancy had tears in her eyes. He was so adorable. She understood the love her daughter had for this little boy. Jeff looked at the little boy and smiled.
“I got presents”, said Jeff. Max groaned.
“Oh no not you too, between my parents and you too, Aidan won’t have any space to put these toys”, said Max rolling her eyes.
Nancy and Jeff laughed at this before giving him and hug shocking Max but he smiled anyway.
End of Flashback…..
“These kids are driving me up the wall”, said Maria.
“Only good thing that came from this is the big breasts I got”, said Maria while they all sat at dinner.
Both Jeff and Phillip choked on their wine while listening to Maria. The rest of them laughed.
“Momma what’s breasts?”, asked Aidan.
“Maria”, said Liz glaring.
“What?”, asked Maria smirking.
“Anyway Michael is the lazy one I have to get up when the babies are crying, I mean you would think the lazy bum would help”, said Maria.
Michael just shook his head.
“I help”, said Michael looking offended.
“Oh oh”, said Alex.
They knew Maria was going to have some comment.
“Help the only way you help is by sucking on my baby milk makers”, said Maria.
Liz shook her head while looking at everyone. Her whole family was there.
“Kyle mind your business”, said Maria.
Kyle shook his head while looking at Ava that was feeding their son. She gave birth a week before Serena to a beautiful baby boy. He was so proud. His father was here as well as Amy Deluca Maria’s mother who had the same need to voice her opinions as her mother.
“Michael are you not satisfying my daughter sexually?”, asked Amy.
Now it was Max that chocked on his wine.
“No mom Michael is still good at that”, said Maria smirking.
Jim Valenti smiled at Amy Deluca.
Jim’s POV
She’s cute, I love a fiesty woman. She is open and honest, you don’t find that anymore.
“Well Jim since you love staring at me, tell me a little about yourself”, said Amy making Jim blush.
Kyle laughed out loud at his father. After his mother had abandoned them Jim kind of went through the motions he hardly smiled. He was very lonely Kyle knew that. He was happy that Amy made him smile.
“Oh go mom, Kyle where did you get your looks from because it wasn’t from your dad, because he is a hottie”, said Maria smiling.
The phone rang then and Max went to get it.
“Well Maria you are one of kind”, said Nancy smiling.
Jeff joined in laughing.
“Liz phone, she says her name is Rosie Vasquez”, said Max holding out the phone.
Jeff and Nancy went paled at that.
“Mom, daddy?”, asked Liz looking at them confused.
“Do you know who that is?”, asked Liz.
Nancy nodded her head and cleared her throat.
“Lizzie, Rosie Vasquez is your birth mother”, said Jeff Parker.
Liz looked at the phone with her heart pounding and reached for the phone in Max‘s hands.

Thanks all for the fb. I was having trouble w/ this chapter. i didn't know whether to make Rosie a good or a bad, I hope you enjoy it. I wanted to make my dealine so I don't know if it is good. Thanks.
Chapter 11
Liz took the phone and walked out of the room. Nancy and Jeff Parker looked at their daughter with concern.
“Why now?”, asked Phillip looking at where Liz left.
“I don’t know maybe it had to do with her seeing the trial, but I don’t like this”, said Jeff.
Phillip nodded his head and got up.
“I have to make a few phone calls, excuse me”, said Phillip.
Max looked at his father that just nodded his head. Max knew that his father was doing a background check on this woman because he like Max didn’t want anything to happen to Liz.
“Dad wait for me”, said Max.
Phillip nodded his head at this.
“Yeah come on”, said Phillip.
Max sat in his fathers office while Phillip made a few calls to run a background check on Liz’s “mother”.
“Yes, Richard thank you very much”, said Phillip hanging up.
“He should have the info in like two hours”, said Phillip looking at his son.
“Do you think she is bad news dad?”, asked Max.
“I don’t know but it seems convenient for her all of a sudden to want to meet her daughter”, said Phillip.
Max nodded his head in agreement.
Meanwhile Liz clutched the phone tightly in her hand trying to calm her nerves. She picked up the phone but she couldn’t speak. Rosie must have heard her breathing so she began speaking.
“Liz I know that I have no business calling your home and I just this is so hard”, said Rosie.
Liz listened but didn’t respond. She clutched the seat she was sitting in trying to calm her nerves.
“I know I shouldn’t be calling but I couldn’t help it, I just I just, I don’t know I just wanted you to know why”, said Rosie.
“Why what? Why you abandoned me why you left me, why all of a sudden you want to be in contact with me when you haven’t even thought about me for the last 23 years”, yelled Liz.
She was angry now. How dare this woman disrupt her life?
“I know you are angry, but I can explain. Liz please I can explain”, said Rosie trying to make her understand.
“Explain what?”, yelled Liz.
She was so angry and tired. She just wanted to have her happy life and something always seemed to be ruining that.
“I please, can we meet, please, that’s all I ask. I’ll answer your questions, I know you have them I just really please”, said Rosie almost crying out.
“I can’t I can’t meet you, I have my family now I just can’t”, said Liz into the receiver with tears flowing down her eyes.
She just wanted to be happy.
Rosie sighed, “Please Liz”, said Rosie.
“Stop calling me that, only friends and family are allowed to call me that”, spat out Liz.
“I’m sorry, I just wanted to explain”, said Rosie.
“How did you know where to find me?”, asked Liz.
“I can’t tell you that now, please I just need to talk to you. Can we meet, like tomorrow?”, asked Rosie.
Liz shook her head, she knew it was a bad idea but she couldn’t help but feel that she should. This woman gave birth to her and she owed her that much.
“Okay tomorrow at Peter’s Park on third, do you know it?”, asked Liz trying to calm her nerves.
“Yes I know it, thank you”, whispered Rosie before hanging up the phone.
Liz sighed and tears flowed down her face. She was trembling so much. She felt a hand come down on her shoulders and she looked up into the eyes of the man that she will always love.
“I love you Max”, whispered Liz before she fell into his arms.
“It’s okay baby, its okay”, whispered Max.
“She asked to meet me”, said Liz.
Max looked at her and nodded his head.
“Okay if you want to but I’m going to be there, in the background Liz”, said Max.
Liz nodded her head. She knew that he would never let her go alone. Kyle walked into the room signaling Max.
“Let’s go eat baby”, whispered Max.
Liz nodded her head and smiled at him and went to sit with her family. Nancy tried not to protest when Liz told them that she was meeting with her birth mother but she held her tongue she knew that this was something that Liz had to do for herself.
“So what did he find?”, asked Max after finding his father sitting in his office.
An office that used to intimidate him as a child because of the large desk that made his father look larger than life. It seemed that Phillip Evans was apart of that office and that large mahogany desk.
“Yeah a little but I need more time, but I know I few things”, said Phillip.
Max sat, listened, with wide eyes, at the news that his father gave him. He was angry and is was just something that he knew that Liz did not need.
“She is going to meet this woman tomorrow, I don’t think she should”, said Max.
“Let her, Liz needs to hear and see it for herself”, said Phillip.
Max nodded his head and got up. What he saw in the dinning room made him stop and stare. Liz was sitting at the table smiling full on laughing. It made Max feel good. He didn’t want that smile to ever go away.
Morning 9:00 am
“Aidan let’s get dressed”, said Liz waddling into the room.
“Okay mommy”, said Aidan running out his room and looking into the closet.
“So what do you want to wear sweetheart”, asked Liz looking down at her son.
“Umm what you wearing mommy, asked Aidan reaching out to rub her tummy.
“So pretty mommy, she gonna be pretty momma”, said Aidan.
“Oh she is, you are going to be a great big brother Aidan, I going to wear a dress”, replied Liz.
“Umm”, said Aidan tapping his chin with his finger and looking at his closet.
Liz had to stifle her laughter. He little boy was so adorable.
“Mommy, daddy say you going to meet yous mommy dat had you in her tummy”, said Aidan looking into her face for confirmation.
Liz nodded her head.
“She bad like mommy dat had me in tummy?”, asked Aidan.
“I hope not”, whispered Liz.
“Lets get you dress baby”, said Liz.
Aidan nodded his head and lifted up his arms wanting a hug.
Liz drove to the park. She saw a woman that looked lost. She had dark hair and from where she was sitting Liz noticed that was looking around.
Liz walked up to her and said, “Rosie?”, asked Liz.
Rosie looked up with tears in her eyes.
“Liz?”, asked Rosie.
Liz nodded her head.
“Oh please sit down”, said Rosie moving over to allow Liz to sit down.
“So how far along are you?”, asked Rosie.
“About 8 months”, whispered Liz.
Rosie nodded her head.
“Look I know this is weird it’s just that, I wanted to tell you why I did what I did”, said Rosie.
Liz nodded her head so she could continue.
“I was 16 when I met him, I was stupid and naïve, I thought he loved me, I was a virgin and I god I was so stupid. I thought he would be there for me. When I turned 18, I found out I got pregnant and thought it was the best thing, but I didn’t know that the man I loved was married with a child of his own”, said Rosie looking down at her hands.
“I never wanted to give you away, I never did, but when I told him he told me that he wanted me to get an abortion. I didn’t believe in that, I begged him to be with us, but he told me that he couldn’t that I was just a quick fuck that went on too long”, said Rosie wiping her tears away.
Liz looked up at the woman.
“Why did you give me up then?”, asked Liz.
“Oh Liz I didn’t want to but he threaten me telling me that, I was this slut and he would take you away from me. I saw a side of Ed Harding that I didn’t want to know. I didn’t want him raising my child but I knew that I couldn’t do it alone. I was only 18 and I just couldn’t. I’m so sorry but I hate to say this but I don’t regret my decision you got excellent parents, you are happy and I wouldn’t change that for the world”, said Rosie.
Liz nodded her head.
“I have to tell you something Liz”, said Rosie looking at the young woman next to him.
“What?”, asked Liz.
“Ed is after you, I found out, he is going to hurt you”, said Rosie.
“How?”, asked Liz.
“By playing you on your emotions”, said Rosie smirking and pulling out an object from behind her back.
“What are you doing”, yelled Liz trying to get up.
Rosie grabbed her arm.
“Making sure that you forever remember hurting my daughter”, said Rosie pointing the gin at Liz.
“What, I’m your daughter”, said Liz backing away from the crazy woman.
“Please little girl are you that stupid, your mother was a druggie, that just got out of rehab. She was nothing but a whore. She stole my husband I’ll steal her daughter”, said Rosie moving towards Liz.
Liz looked at her and lunged.
“Liz”, yelled Max and was startled back when he heard the bullet bang out throughout the air. It hit his eardrums so hard he thought he would go deaf just from the sound. What he saw made his heart stop. Liz and Rosie on the fall covered in blood.

Thanks all for the fb. I wont be posting this on Tuesday because i have two tests. So I'll post on Thursday instead. Thanks and sorry for that. Enjoy this part
Chapter 12
“I shot her Max, I shot her”, whispered Liz looking down at the trembling body Mr. Harding’s wife.
“Its okay, the cope are on the way, shit Liz I didn’t know this would happen, I should never have let you meet this woman”, said Max.
“It’s not my mother, it’s Tess’s mother”, said Liz.
Max looked on in shock.
“But my dad’s friend said that your mother was alive”, said Max looking down at the woman.
“Yeah she is, I just don’t know where she is and all I know is that this woman is not my mother”, said Liz trembling.
“Max she is so evil”, said Liz crying.
“Liz you are bleeding”, said Max.
“No Max, it’s her blood, Max?”, said Liz.
“Yeah Liz?”, asked Max checking the woman’s pulse.
He sighed in relieve, she was still breathing, the bullet had hit her arm. He had called 911 ten minutes ago he finally heard the sirens. He would make sure that Mr. Harding pay for hurting his wife to be.
“Max”, yelled Liz clutching his arm.
“Liz what is it?”, asked Max looking concerned.
“I’m in labor”, said Liz gritting her teeth.
“Labor, labor?”, asked Max.
“Max this is no time to be freaking out, this baby is coming”, yelled Liz smacking his arm.
“Okay, okay, the ambulance is coming”, said Max trying not to panic but it wasn’t working.
“Help”, yelled Max when he saw Liz turning blue.
He heard a siren and waved them over.
“She was shot, after she pulled out a gun on my wife, and my wife is in labor”, said Max holding onto Liz that was clutching her stomach in pain.
“Max”, yelled Liz.
“It’s okay baby, I promise, it’s okay”, said Max that was now dressed in scrubs and wiping her forehead.
“No it’s to early, why is the baby here so early, what if something is wrong”, said Liz with tears in her eyes and her hair sticking to her forehead.
“Nothing is wrong baby, the doctor would have said something, I promise nothing is wrong”, said Max kissing her forehead but he was worried too.
After the ambulance got them to the hospital Max was made aware that Mrs. Harding made it through surgery. The cops were at her door though. She was under arrest for attempted murder. When Max saw Mr. Harding it took two police officers to hold him back
Flashback…..
“You bastard, your crazy wife pulled out a gun on my wife”, yelled Max trying to get at Ed.
“I know you planned this, I knew it, you tried to kill my wife, you sick bastard, you are as crazy as you lunatic wife”, yelled Max reaching for him while two police officers held him back.
“I don’t know what are you talking about”, said Ed obviously confused.
“Your wife came called my wife pretending to be her mother her birth mother, and she shot at my wife, I know you know this, you threaten us leaving the courtroom, now your whacko wife shot at my wife, my very pregnant wife”, yelled Max trying to calm his nerves but he couldn’t.
Liz could have died, his baby could have died. The reality just set in.
“I didn’t god I wouldn’t I didn’t”, said Ed pleadingly to Max.
Max looked at the man that looked broken.
“Me and wife are getting a divorce, I can’t handle being in a loveless marriage. I can’t handle that my daughter is just like her, I felt the need to protect my family but I can’t anymore. I can’t pretend anymore”, said Ed.
“You expect me to believe this garbage?”, asked Max.
“No I don’t expect anything, I just never thought she would do this, I told her to stay away from Liz, after what I did in court I knew I was wrong, I lashed out because the daughter that I wanted, the daughter that my wife threaten to kill if I didn’t give her up, she said to everyone that she hated me and wanted nothing to do with me. I hated it but I couldn’t stop it. I guess that’s what she must have felt. I lashed out at you and Liz and I’m so sorry. I just didn’t want my wife to hurt her. I didn’t want Tess to hurt her and they both did anyway”, said Ed breaking down in front of Max.
Max looked at Ed Harding crying on the ground. This man was either sincere or one hell of an actor.
“I’m so sorry, she promised she wouldn’t hurt Liz.
She hated that I loved Liz’s mother, she hates the fact that I still love her mother”, said Ed.
Max sighed while the police officers looked at the man. They felt sorry for this man.
“Why should I believe that you are a man of your word”, asked Max looking down at Ed.
“Because he isn’t lying Max”, said Phillip Evans walking in.
“Dad?”, asked Max.
“ I checked everything out, he has been seeing Liz’s birth mother and has had her under constant protection so that Mrs. Harding couldn’t hurt her, also Liz”, said Phillip.
“Liz, so why didn’t your PI know that Tess had made friends with her?”, asked Max.
“He didn’t know that Tess was my daughter, Darcy had kicked Tess out of the house when she found out that she was a lesbian, it wasn’t my choice but Darcy made her think it was. I have no idea how she found Liz”, said Ed looking at Max willing him to believe him.
“I just wanted to protect Liz”, said Ed.
“Then why go against her in a court of law, why defend that psycho”, said Max.
“Because she threaten to tell my wife where Rosie was living, she threaten to tell Liz that I was her father”, said Ed.
Max sighed and rubbed his hands over his face. He was just tired, so tired.
“Where is my mother”, asked a voice behind them.
Max shifted around to see Liz sitting on a wheelchair with tears in her eyes.
“Baby”, whispered Max.
“Where is she?”, asked Liz.
“She lives here, she knows that you exist, she knows all about you, but she knew that she had to protect you from Darcy”, said Ed.
“Why didn’t you go to the police, why didn’t you want me”, cried Liz.
“God I did, I always wanted you Liz, I was stupid and more scared about Darcy hurting you that I thought I was doing the right thing but I wasn’t. Rosie hated giving you up she wanted to keep you but we had to separate you so that Darcy couldn’t find you”, said Ed looking at the young woman that was his daughter in only one way and that was by blood.
She had a father, a father that was there for her. Ed knew about Jeff Parker. Jeff Parker was the all American dad that loved his family. He had wanted that with Rosie once but he ruined it by letting Darcy run his life but letting his other daughter run his life and control his happiness. He was never in love with Darcy he loved Rosie and when she told him she was pregnant with his child he felt two emotions he felt utter happiness because the woman that he loved was carrying his baby, and he felt utter fear because he knew what would happen when Darcy found out. She made the choice even though Rosie didn’t agree to give up his daughter. It was a decision that he both regretted and didn’t. Liz got dream parents but he lost his daughter.
“Max”, yelled Liz holding Max’s hand from the pain.
Ed looked at Liz that was sitting in pain and watch them roll her away. He saw he turn her head around and look at him one last time before turn her head forward.
“I’m ready to talk”, said Ed looking at the cops that were present.
End of Flashback……..
“Push Liz”, yelled the doctor.
“The baby is crowning”, said the doctor.
“God it hurts, it hurts”, cried Liz holding onto Max’s hand.
“Can’t you help with the pain, she is in so much pain”, said Max crying himself.
He couldn’t stand to see her in pain. He just couldn’t.
“It too late for that, your wife refused the medication”, said the doctor.
“I was so stupid Max, I didn’t take, it hurts, Max it hurts so much”, said Liz crying with tears overflowing down her face.
“It’s okay baby, it’s going to okay its going to be over soon”, said Max kissing her forehead and smoothing her hair back trying to calm her down.
“Bear down Liz, here comes the baby”, said the doctor.
Liz with her face red and sweat dripping down her face she pushed as hard as possible. Then everyone went quiet and all they heard was the sound of a baby wailing loudly.
“The baby our baby Liz, look baby our baby”, said Max in awe.
“Do you want to cut the cord dad?”, asked the doctor smiling.
Max nodded his head up and down quickly leaving Liz’s side and cutting the cord. The nurses took the baby and cleaned it while Liz looked bear down once more to push out the placenta. Max looked at her and kissed her forehead.
“Now let’s meet your parents”, said the nurse on duty.
Liz smiled when the nurse placed the baby on her stomach. “Awe Max, look at that”, whispered Liz in awe holding a finger out which her baby grabbed and yawned obviously tired from a long day.
“Daddy’s eyes and ears huh?”, chuckled Liz softly.
Max looked on at his baby which he thought was so beautiful. Both his children were beautiful.
“I think everyone wants to know”, said Liz.
His baby was here he didn’t want to leave yet.
“Go on we have the rest of our lives to be with our baby”, said Liz smiling with sweat on her forehead but Max thought she never looked so beautiful.
Max raced out.
“I’m a father”, yelled Max smiling.
Maria got up a yelled jumping up and down. Phillip and Jeff smiled big with proud smiles.
“What is it?”, asked Serena.
Max and Liz wanted it to be a surprise. Max looked around before saiying
“It’s a

Chapter 13:
“SO how did they take the news?”, asked Liz nursing her daughter.
Aidan was so happy when he found out he had a little sister. It was the best news of his life.
“Well no is as happy as Aidan that’s for sure”, said Max smiling as Liz.
She was so beautiful to him. He had a daughter a perfect little girl.
“Man she got my ears”, said Max letting out a sigh. Liz giggled at that.
“I love your ears”, said Liz.
They heard a knock at the door.
“Can we come in?”, asked Serena smiling holding her own child.
“Yeah come in”, whispered Liz closing her gown.
She knew that the guys were still uncomfortable with women nursing.
“Awww Lizzie she is so pretty”, said Maria squealing.
Liz smiled down at the small baby in her arms and kissed that top of her head that smelled so sweet. She always wondered why babies smelled like that. It was this smell that could not be described. It was soft and warm and inviting.
“Momma”, yelled Aidan running into the room.
“Oh baby”, said Liz reaching out to cup his face.
“Momma is my siswter?”, asked Aidan reaching out with his finger to touch her face.
“Yeah baby it’s your sister”, whispered Liz smiling at the awed look on Aidan’s face.
He was so cute sometimes.
“She my birthday present”, said Aidan smiling.
“I guess she is”, said Max.
“But pal you know we your birthday is not for another two days right?”, asked Max.
Aidan nodded his head.
“Daddy I knows, she coming early”, said Aidan smiling and reaching out once more to touch her cheek.
The little girl opened her eyes and gave Aidan and toothless smile that consisted of spit bubbled.
“Oh she smile pretty like mommy”, said Aidan smiling at her.
“So what’s her name?”, asked Maria taking a seat.
“Well we decided on Malia Sima Evans.
Malia which means calm and peaceful and Sima is all the first letters of the girls’ first name, Maria, Isabel, Serena, and Ava. Sima actually means treasure and prize and that is what she is to me and that is what Aidan is to me”, said Liz.
“That is so beautiful”, said Maria crying a little bit.
Liz smiled at her friend and closed her eyes. She was so tired and like her daughter she needed to be in a calm and peaceful environment. Her daughter gave her that.
“I think Liz needs her rest guys”, said Max showing out the door.
“We will see you later guys”, said Michael walking out the room.
He was going to get Aidan but Liz’s look stopped him.
“Leave him here, I need my babies with me”, said Liz.
Michael smiled and closed the door behind him.
“Come up here Aidan”, whispered Liz moving over so her son could lie down next to her.
Aidan smiled and did as his mother told him. He held her hand while Max pulled the chair next to the bed and smiled in pure happiness at his beautiful family.
“Mind telling me what’s on your mind Mr. Evans”, whispered Liz smiling at Aidan that was playing peek-a-poo with Malia.
Malia was only a day old but she was already enjoying being part of the family. Her brown eyes with little flecks of gold that he received from her father would melt heart some day. Well some day far, far away if Max had his way. This day was perfect and Max will never forget it.
2 months later…..
Malia POV
Nice place here. Nice people. Nice old brother. That’s what my mommy called him. He is playing with me. He makes me laugh. Oh it’s the daddy person, he is smiling at me. I love him already. Now I’m hungry.
Malia let out a cry.
“Oh okay baby, it’s okay, mommy’s here”, said Liz rushing into the nursery to see Aidan already handing her a cloth so she could put over her shoulder for when she would burp his sister.
Aidan loved being an older brother and he loved his sister. She was the prettiest girl in the whole world in this opinion.
“Mommy?”, asked Aidan.
“Yeah baby”, asked Liz rocking in the rocking chair.
“Are we going to the park today, I want to show my siswter the swings”, said Aidan.
“Okay baby we will let me finish feeding Malia and we will go, but daddy will be coming home soon why don’t we wait for him so we all could go”, said Liz.
Aidan nodded his head before jumping up and down kissed his mother on the cheek and ran out of the room. Liz shook her head at that and closed her eyes remembering the last two months of her life.
Flashback………..
“We are going home today Malia”, said Liz smiling.
“Today we are going to a birthday party too. It’s Aidan’s party he was born on Christmas but he wanted to wait for you to get home so you could be at his party”, said Liz rocking her back and forth.
Malia just looked at her mother and blow spit at her.
“Well you told me”, said Liz smiling and kissing her forehead.
She didn’t have hair yet and which Max complained about. She remembered that conversation.
“Max, she is a baby not even a week old of course she has no hair”, said Liz giggling.
“But I had hair, why doesn’t she have hair what if she never gets hair, they will tease her on the playground Liz, kids can be so cruel”, said Max looking distressed.
Liz just laughed harder.
“Oh baby, her hair will grow, I promise”, said Liz and laughed again when Max started to pull at the little hair that was on Malia’s head and say, “Grown damn it, grow”.
Liz shook herself form her day dream when she heard someone clear their voice.
“Hi”, whispered a woman with dark long hair and brown eyes.
“Hello do I know you”, asked Liz.
“No you don’t but you know of me”, whispered the woman biting her lips.
“Okay then who are you?”, asked Liz getting uncomfortable.
“I’m your birth mother”, whispered Rosie.
Liz gasped and she shook and looked at the woman. She now knew where she got her looks from. The dark hair and the dark eyes this was her mother. She looked nothing like Ed Harding Tess inherited her looks from him.
“Please I’m sorry I shouldn’t have come here, I’m sorry, I’ll just go”, said Rosie already turning around.
She was shaking herself.
“No”, yelled Liz.
Rosie turned around and looked at the young woman in front of her.
“Please sit”, whispered Liz trying to calm a whimpering Malia in her arms.
When she yelled Malia got fussy.
“Alright, I’m sorry for dropping by like this, it’s just Ed told me that you would be here and well I just couldn’t stop myself, know you wouldn’t want to see me, I wasn’t going to come in I just wanted to see you how you look like, I’m sorry”, whispered Rosie wiping tears form her eyes.
Liz had tears in her eyes too. This woman was her birth mother, yet she knew nothing about her. Her experience with Darcy still scared her but she knew that this was her birth mother. She knew that for a fact.
“I “, whispered Liz looking down her daughter.
She would never give her up. She loved her so much, she just couldn’t imagine.
“Why”, was the only thing that Liz asked. Liz looked her directly in the eye and saw the pain that laid there.
It was so visible Liz almost cringed.
“I had to, she promised to kill me and you, I knew that I couldn’t let that happen, I knew I had to make a choice, I choice even though it hurt me to do so, I don’t regret it. Ed made sure that you had the best family possible and that you would be in the best car. I wanted you to be happy. I made a difficult choice, I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t want to give you up. You were the best thing that I have ever done. I was so happy when I learned I was pregnant, so was Ed. He, we wanted you so much, but with Darcy it wasn’t possible. I’m not trying to make up excuses. I know you hate me but I thought at the time it was the right thing to do. And looking at you now I know I wasn’t wrong”, said Rosie bowing her head at sobs shook her small frame.
Liz also had tears in her eyes. She now knew that was wanted that it was a choice that her mother made to save her life. Rosie’s head sprung up when she felt Liz touch her shoulders.
“I want to try”, said Liz.
Rosie sobbed out and cried so hard at that small sentence. Her daughter was giving her a chance.
“Thank you”, whispered Rosie.
Max walked into the room with Aidan and stopped. He saw his Liz sitting with a woman that looked a lot like her. It didn’t take a genius to figure out who this woman was. He smiled though when he saw Liz laughing.
“Oh Liz she is so pretty”, said Rosie cooing the baby.
“She looks like her daddy”, said Liz with pride in her eyes.
“Oh you have to meet my son, Aidan, he is such a perfect little boy. He has begged to come here everyday because he swears that Malia will forget his face”, said Liz giggling.
“Mommy”, yelled out Aidan.
Liz’s face lit up when she saw her little man. Rosie noticed this and smiled. She was happy that her daughter had such a wonderful life.
“Hey baby, where’s daddy”, asked Liz.
Aidan pointed to the door where Liz saw Max standing. He was so breathtakingly handsome.
“Max”, sighed Liz smiling at him.
Max gave her that little half smile that he reserved just for her. Rosie stood up and looked at the man that loved her daughter. Max looked at her and stuck out his hand.
“I’m Max, and you must be Rosie, nice to meet you”, said Max.
Rosie gaped in shock. She was certain that Max wouldn’t approve of her seeing Liz but he was a stand up guy.
“Nice to meet you also”, whispered Rosie.
End Flashback…..
“Mom”, sighed Liz looking at her mother that was all over the kitchen trying to help cook.
“I can cook you know”, whispered Liz.
Nancy just laughed and shook her head while Liz looked offended.
“No offense Liz but I’m with Nancy on his one, you burn jello”, said Maria sitting down with her baby girl.
Michael right now was watching tv with her son and teaching him how to be a guy.
“Oh why I never”, said Liz holding Malia against her chest.
“Me and Lia are going to our room”, said Liz sticking her nose in the air.
“Oh Liz what time is Rosie coming over?”, asked Nancy.
Nancy and Jeff Parker decided to move closer to their family and sell the family business. Liz was a little disappointed about the selling but loved the fact that her parents were going to be closer. Jeff and Phillip Evans actually decided to go into business together and open a new chain of restaurants.
“Oh she said by 8”, said Liz walking out of the room.
Rosie had become a permanent fixture in their home now. Nancy and Jeff were wary at first but after the first meeting in which Rosie told them that she was thankful that Liz found parents like them, they were more comfortable. Ed was another issue though. His divorce was getting messy. Liz and him came to an understanding though. She promised to be more open to the idea of him in her life but she would need some time in which he gave her. But Liz was more now than ever to bury the hatch so to speak at least for her children so she invited him to dinner. She told everyone her idea even though Max and Phillip and especially Jeff were not in agreement they knew this was important to her so they said they would be calm when he came. They all loved Rosie but Ed that was another issue.
“Nancy how are you”, said Rosie giving her a hug.
“I brought presents”, said Rosie.
Max sighed.
“Come on you guys are spoiling them”, said Max rolling his eyes.
“Grandma’s right”, said Rosie smiling.
“Ah don’t pout Max”, said Nancy giggling.
“Come Rosie into the kitchen and help us”, said Diane coming into the room.
“Alright”, said Rosie putting her bags down and following Nancy.
“Amy”, smiled Rosie giving her a hug.
“Did Jim come?”, asked Rosie taking a piece of fruit to eat.
“Yeah they are all in the living room, burping farting you know being men”, said Amy.
“Michael our son better not be farting and burping and acting like you in there”, yelled Maria.
“Maria”, sighed Michael.
“He is becoming a guy”, said Michael.
“Isn’t that right Gavin”, said Michael while his son giggled and spit at him in response.
“That’s my boy”, said Michael with a big goofy smile on this face.
“Michael Guiren if that boy is anything like you by the end of this night, I’m taking him to the opera and ballet”, said Maria.
Michael looked horrified.
“No Maria you can’t do that to the boy, he will be scared for life, that’s not fair”, said Michael getting up with his son while Kyle laughed at him.
“That goes for you too Kyle, Jimmy better not be picking up bad habits”, said Ava with her hands on her hips.
Phillip, Jim, and Jeff tried to stifle their laughter.
“Why don’t you say anything to Zan or not Max”, said Kyle.
“Because Zan has a daughter and Aidan is a sweety like his daddy”, said Ava smiling.
Max blushed while the guys threw popcorn at him.
“Wussy”, said Kyle.
His son started getting hyper too. “Calm down Jimmy”, said Kyle.
Jimmy let out a squeal and threw popcorn at his dad making Alex bust out laughing.
“That’s classic Jimmy, simply classic”, said Alex giggling.
“Alright everyone dinner time”, said Diane.
Everyone walked over to the dinning room table when the door bell rang.
“I’ll get it”, yelled out Liz holding her daughter against her chest.
She opened the door and smiled.
“Thanks for coming”, said Liz.
Ed nodded his head.
“Are you sure this is a good idea, I mean Rosie doesn’t even talk to me anymore, and your family hates me”, said Ed looking down at the bag that he brought.
He had gifts for his grandchildren.
“You are my family, I’m doing this for my babies, they deserve to know their grandfather”, said Liz letting him into the door.
“Grandfather, I never thought about that”, whispered Ed.
“Liz”, called out Ed when she started making her way towards the dinning room. “Yes”, answered Liz.
“Thank you for letting me be here, I know how hard it was for you to do that so thank you”, said Ed. Liz walked over to him and kissed his cheek.
“Your welcome dad”, whispered Liz into his ear.
Ed smiled big at that. This was his second chance to be a good father. He took a breath and walked into the diner that would change his life.
===============================================
15 year old Aidan Evans walked down the long hallway and jumped a little when he heard the door slam shut. He never thought he would be going to a place like this but he needed answers and this was the only place to get them. He looked around and tried not to shiver. This place was giving him the creeps. He sat down and waited. His hands shook as he picked up the phone.
“Aidan”, said the woman.
“Tess”, replied Aidan.

Chapter 14
Aidan’s POV
Everyone is probably wondering what has been happening in my life since the birth of my little sister. Lots of things actually. So sit back and relax while I show you what life has been like in the Evans’s household.
Flashback…..
Ed Harding walked into the dinning room and sighed when he received a glare from both Phillip and Max Evans.
“Hey everyone”, whispered Ed sitting down in the seat Liz pointed to.
Everyone nodded their head.
“Hello Ed”, said Amy trying to lighten the tension that seemed to be so thick in the room.
“Hello”, whispered Ed.
“Grampa”, yelled Aidan running towards Ed and jumping in his lap.
His mother told him that he was his grandfather and that he would love him like grandpa Phillip and grandpa Jeff did. Ed smiled large at the little boy that flung himself into his arms. He looked nothing like his daughter Tess, this little boy looked exactly like his mother. He supposed that was a good thing, he didn’t think that Liz would feel comfortable with Aidan. Exactly that’s true, he knew that Liz would accept him whether or not he looked like Tess.
“I brought you presents”, said Ed smiling.
“Ohhhh”, whispered Aidan.
He loved having another person to spoil him.
“What is it?”, asked Aidan trying hard to look into the big bag that Ed brought.
“Aidan”, said Liz sternly.
“Sorry momma”, said Aidan getting off Ed’s lap.
“It’s alright Liz, its nice to see his excitement”, said Ed.
Liz nodded her head but she still didn’t want Aidan to jump on people like that.
“Ohh Ahh”, said Aidan looking at the toy truck that his grandpa gave him.
Max just smiled at his son that was so excited.
“I got Malia something also”, said Ed.
“You don’t have to buy them gifts they will love you”, said Liz.
“I”, whispered Ed putting his head down trying to stop his trembling.
“Where is the rest-room?”, asked Ed trying not to let them see that he was upset.
“Down the hall and to your left”, replied Diane.
Ed nodded his head getting up from the table.
“Grampa, what’s da matta?”, asked Aidan.
“Nothing Aidan, I just have to use the bathroom?”, said Ed.
“But why you crwying?”, asked Aidan.
“Aidan baby stop asking so many questions, let your grandpa go to the bathroom”, said Rosie.
Aidan nodded his head but he was still confused. Rosie got up and followed Ed into the bathroom.
“Rosie, I can’t do this, how can Liz forgive me, look what I did to her, what I made you do to her”, said Ed with tears flowing from his eyes.
Rosie nodded her head and step in front of him.
“She has a forgiving heart. I’m happy that you found people that would teach her something so wonderful as forgiveness. It’s going to take time but I know it will get better. I has gotten better, I feel so alive Ed for being part of this family. Give it time”, said Rosie.
“What about us?”, asked Ed.
“You haven’t been around lately. I miss you so much”, whispered Ed.
“I know I just needed this time with my daughter Ed, I love you so much but I needed the time”, said Rosie.
“I know, I wished that we could have done it together”, said Ed kissing her softly on the mouth.
“I love you Ed, I really do”, said Rosie.
Ed wiped her tears away.
“My divorce its final, we can be together, since Darcy is now in jail, she can’t threaten my family anymore”, said Ed smiling.
Rosie smiled large squealing.
“Finally”, whispered Rosie.
“I guess he does care”, said Max.
“Yes he does, I know you guys feel uncomfortable with him, but please, I just want us to be a family. Please Dad, daddy”, said Liz looking at Jeff and Phillip.
They both nodded their heads.
“Thank you so much, you don’t know how much this means to me”, said Liz kissing both their cheeks making them blush.
“Anything for you”, said Jeff Parker.
Aidan looked around at the scene in front of him.
“Me want kissy to momma”, said Aidan pouting his lips.
Everyone bust out laughing at Aidan’s disgruntled look.
“Aww baby, can’t forget about my little man”, said Liz kissing him all over his face making him giggle and squirm.
Ed walked in with Rosie holding hands. Ed stopped and looked down when the men at the table stared at him.
“Come sit Ed, we want to eat”, said Phillip.
Ed looked up and sighed.
“Yeah let’s get our eat on”, said Michael agreeing.
He would try to be nice for Liz’s sake. Ed sat and smiled. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.
End Flashback………………
Aidan’s POV
That day changed everyone’s lives. My mother and Ed became closer after that. Malia of course grew up to be beautiful. She drives me crazy following me around and trying to act like me but I love her. How can I not. She is the best of my mother and father. Aunt Maria is still as funny as ever and of course she doesn’t know the word tact. That word never seems to be part of her vocabulary. I remember when she announced she was pregnant once more.
Flashback………….
They were all sitting together eating dinner as usual. Aidan’s little cousins were running around yelling out something or other.
“Mommy need cake”, said Malia trying not to grab the cake that was in front of.
Liz shook her head, she was so similar to Aidan it wasn’t funny.
“Malia calm down Mom said you have to wait for it”, said Aidan rolling his eyes.
The table was noisy as usual since every Sunday they all got together for a grand family dinner. Jim Valenti even moved closer to be with Amy. They were now engaged to be married.
“Need cake”, yelled Malia and dove head first into a cake.
Max looked at his little girl in the cake and basically said, “Liz pass me the knife”.
“Max don’t you see your daughter in the cake, Maria why did you put the cake on the table again”, said Liz glaring at the woman.
“Umm don’t know, must have forgotten since I have the best night of my life”, said Maria.
“Oh no”, mumbled Alex.
“Here we go again”, said Alex.
“I hate to even ask, but I’ll bite Maria why was your night great”, said Zan.
“Zan”, sighed Liz.
“I’m happy my baby’s head is in the cake so she can’t hear this, Aidan cover your ears”, said Liz knowing that Maria was going to say something that can’t be said in pleasant company.
Aidan sighed again and stuck his fingers in his ears. He didn’t understand these adults sometimes.
“Umm Michael did this thing with his tongue, in my twat shit it was fucking awesome, oh and we watched lesbian porno, Damn they have nice breasts”, said Maria.
Once again Phillip chocked, and Max hit his back to dislodge whatever got stuck there. Everyone sat with their mouths gaped open while the children stared at their Aunt and Mother.
“Mommy what’s breasts?”, asked Malia when she removed her head from the cake.
Her whole face was covered with the frosting from the cake.
“Umm lesbian porno think I could borrow the tape, me and Jim were looking for new kinky ways to spice up our sex life”, said Amy.
Jim just rubbed his hands over his face. After all this time he still wasn’t used to Amy’s blunt attitude.
“Umm I can, but Michael is using it, you know he uses it to masturbate”, said Maria.
Michael just let out a whimper of embarrassment. Phillip shook his head. Ed looked around and bust out laughing.
“I love this family”, said Ed smiling.
“Mama what’s breast”, asked Malia pouting since her mother didn’t want to give her an answer.
“By the way family I’m pregnant”, said Maria eating her rice.
Phillip once again chocked on his food. Michael fell out of his seat because he of course fainted. Max just sat back and asked Kyle to pass the knife that Liz forgot to pass. Aidan still sat there with his fingers in ears.
“Mom can I listen now”, asked Aidan.
“Yeah baby”, said Liz sighing while nodded her head.
End of Flashback…………..
Aidan’s POV
I still laugh at that. Aunt Maria still has a way with words. Aunt Isabel found out she was pregnant that night also. Uncle Alex has never smiled so much. He was so happy to find out that his wife was carrying his baby. He smiled for 9 months after that until Aunt Isabel gave birth to my baby cousin Michael named after Uncle Michael. We all call him MJ because his middle name is Jamie. Now to Uncle Kyle and Aunt Ava, they had a couple of kids too. IN fact they had 5 in total. 4 boys and one little girl. My uncles and grandfathers always tease them about them loving to procreate but I love them. They are the best people in the world.
Now unto Cousin Zan and Cousin Serena. The only had two kids a boy and a girl. Serena said the pain was too much and two babies were more than enough. Cousin Serena did become a nurse and both her and Ava work as nurses at the hospital together and with Dad at his office. Grandma Rosie and Grandpa Ed did get married in a small reception. Mom was the matron of honor of course and Dad was the best man. I can’t remember all of it because I was still fairly young when it happened but I do remember eating lots and lots of cake and chasing my cousins around the backyard where the reception was held. Grandpa Phillip and Jeff are in business together opening all these fancy restaurants. Its actually doing well and the two man have become best-friends. My grandmothers are just having a ball spoiling us. You know dad still gets annoyed whenever they buy us something but I know he has given up that fight long time ago.
Now unto the most important people in my life, mom and dad. They mean so much to me. I know most people my age don’t get along with their parents but I do. I mean sometimes they are sappy with all the lovy dovy looks that they give each other but I still love them. My mother is an architect and my dad got his dream of becoming a doctor. In fact is an ob/gyn. I could talk to him about just about anything while everything except sex because dad gets a little nervous when sex is being mentioned around me. He thinks that I would make a mistake but I won’t I know that because I’m just not interested in being a dad, not now not for another 15 years anyway. But when I do I want to have a relationship like the ones my parents have. They have this love that is kind of amazing you know. Its kind of that fairy tale relationship. They fight of course but they always find a way to fix the problem. They talk to each other and to us as a family. They never let problems grow they deal with them. Well I want someone like that. I even remember their wedding day.
Flashback……..
“Liz you are so beautiful”, said Rosie tearing up at her daughter that stood in front of a mirror fixing her veil.
“Yes she is”, whispered Nancy.
“My baby is getting married”, cried Nancy.
“Oh momma don’t cry”, whispered Liz hugging her tightly trying to hold on to her tears.
“I feel so lucky I have the best family and I get to marry the man of my dreams. Mommy I love you, you raised me and taught me manners and loved me, mom you gave me up so I could have the best life possible, you gave me the greatest gift, and Diane you will become my mother too, you gave me Max and I don’t know how to thank you”, said Liz smiling.
Diane had tears in her eyes and pulled the young girl into a tight hug.
“Thank you for loving my son, he was lost until he found you, until Maria hired you”, laughed Diane.
“Yeah she is the matchmaker indeed. I still have to thank her for that”, said Liz.
“Ah the marriage is enough thanks”, said Maria coming into the room with a large smile on her face followed closely by Serena, Ava, and Isabel and their children.
Aidan ran in with his suit and tie looking so adorable.
“My baby”, whispered Liz hugging him tightly.
“Mommy, you look so so very beautiful”, said Aidan with a large grin on his face.
He had the front two teeth missing. Her little man had her wrapped around his finger.
“Thank you baby, go get ready”, said Liz kissing his cheeks.
Aidan ran out of the room.
“No running”, said Liz.
Even if it was her wedding day she was still a mother.
“Mama”, said Malia crawling towards her mother wanting to be picked up.
“Ah my little girl, aren’t you beautiful you look so much like your daddy”, whispered Liz kissed her soft curls that adorned her head.
“It’s time”, whispered Serena looking at her watch.
Liz smiled when both her father stood outside the door. They each took one arm and lead her to her true love.
End Flashback…..
Aidan’s POV
I remember walking down the aisle with my father smiling at me with Uncle Michael standing beside him as his best man. Aunt Ava was the Matron of Honor. I know Aunt Maria bust out crying and let out a Amen loudly when Mom and Dad finally said I do. It was so much fun eating all that cake and mom didn’t even get mad either. They went on their honeymoon that night. They decided to go to Disney World with us as their honeymoon for the next two weeks instead of leaving my and Lia with our grandparents.
Life has been good. I had the best family and best friend a kid could ask for then my teacher gives me an assignment that I know will change my life. She asked us to write about the someone that we hardly know but has an influence on how our life has turned out. I mean it seemed like a easy enough assignment but it wasn’t because for the life of me I didn’t know a person like that. Or at least didn’t think I could do what my heart told me that I had to do. I knew that the one person that didn’t know me that much but influenced my life was my birth mother Tess Harding.
Even though we don’t talk much about her I know she exists. I know that my mom didn’t give birth to me. I also know that she is biologically my aunt. My parents never keep things from me. It’s just not how we work. Even though we talk about things, Tess Harding is a very sore subject. I know she hurt me when I was younger and I know she tried to hurt my dad and mom. I just don’t know why. I could ask my mother but I want to know everything and she can’t give me that only Tess Harding could. I remember talking to my parents about actually visiting her. It was a difficult thing to see my mother cry. She didn’t want me to go but she knew that it was something that I had to do for myself. Dad was just against it totally.
I know mom talked to him because he came up to me one night and said, “I know that you have to do this, and while I don’t like it, I know that I could trust you. You have never giving me any reason not to. So I trust your judgement. But son I don’t want you to get hurt and Tess Harding is capable of doing that. She is can hurt you not only physically but emotionally as well”. I told him that nothing she could say could hurt me because I have parents that love and support me. I told him I just wanted some answers about why she didn’t want me. Why did she hurt me, why did she hate mom. He nodded his head and hugged me saying that it was up to me. So now you know. I’m walking down this hallway feeling like I’m going to meet my maker or something. I’m scared to death. I seat down looking around and finally face front and look into the cold blue eyes of the woman that gave birth to me. Her hair is long past her shoulders and her face looks tired and worn out. I know prison does that to people.
“Aidan” she says.
“Tess”, I whisper back.
She looks at me confused and I say, “I came for some answers, I want to know why”.
Tess nods her head and said, “Well Aidan let me see if I could explain

Chapter 15 Complete
Aidan’s POV
I looked at this woman and I knew that I should be scared or even intimidated. She had tried to kill me. But my need to know what happened outweighed any fear that I might have. Is it wrong to hate her? I remember asking my mother that one day when I was like 10 years old. She told me no but she also told me that she knew the type of person that I was and that I didn’t hate her. It just wasn’t in my nature to hate. I asked her how did she knew that? She simply said “Aidan I am your mother, a mother knows”. Now I sit before my biological mother and wonder if she knows me at all. She couldn’t though because she never wanted to know me. That’s why I’m here. I want to know why she didn’t want me, why she didn’t care to know me and why it was her life’s mission to destroy my family.
“Look I’m not going to lie to you, I spent 11 years in jail and being a liar doesn’t really accomplish anything”, replied Tess brushing her stringy blond hair away from her face.
Tess’s POV
Well this is my son. He doesn’t look a thing like me. It’s not surprising. He would never have looked like me. God knew what he was doing. What shocked me was that he was sitting here at all. One of the officers had come in and told me that I had a visitor which was shocking in and of itself. Who would want to visit me? I mean come on. I am a woman that hurt her son. Many don’t find that a nice trait to have. I spent 11 years in this prison, this hell really and I don’t think I’ve learned anything but to be angry. I have been angry for so long. It took me 5 years to get over my delusions of busting out of here and killing Max Evans and Liz. I hated them both for putting me here and I couldn’t stand the idea that they were happy while I was suffering. Then it took me another 2 years to stop wanting to kill my father because if he didn’t cheat on my mother then this would have never have happened. The last couple of years of course were spent in denial that I did anything wrong. But this last year was when I finally felt the pangs of guilt that Liz talked about in court that day. I felt guilt and remorse. It overwhelmed me. I couldn’t breath and I wanted to die because the pain was too much. I hurt people. I was a monster I knew that. Everyone knew that it wasn’t shocking.
“Why did you hurt my family?”, asked Aidan looking at the woman.
“Because I could”, answered Tess looking into his eyes.
She saw him flinch. She knew he would.
“So what if you could what gives you the right to do it?”, asked Aidan getting angry with the vague answers that this woman was giving him.
“Because I hated her, I hated him. It’s as simple as that. They were on my hate list. Little boy, you don’t know hate yet. I can see it. You are still innocent in that way. The world hasn’t harden your heart yet. Look hate is what I’m made of. It’s what makes me live through this. Hate Liz I hate your father. It’s as simple as that”, answered Tess.
“Umm, what would you say if I told you I hated you, that they hated you”, said Aidan trying to get a response from the passive woman sitting in front of him.
Then he got his answer. He saw the flicker of pain pass over her face before she quickly covered it up with her mask of indifference.
“Well you are entitled to feel that way, I can’t change it”, said Tess.
“Do you wish that you could?”, asked Aidan.
“No I don’t it’s what I knew would happen”, answered Tess never taking her eyes off of him.
“DO you wish that I died that day?”, asked Aidan.
Tess looked up into his eyes confused for a minute then the significance of his statement hit her. He was really asking her if she wished that he never been born.
“Do you want the truth, or a version of it that would make you sleep at night?”, asked Tess still looking at him.
Aidan shifted in his seat mentally preparing himself.
“I want the whole truth and nothing but that”, answered Aidan.
“I didn’t want you, I never did; you were just a pawn in my game. I wanted your father to yield to me, to give me what I wanted and you were just there to be used”, answered Tess.
She was shocked when he didn’t flinched. His face was as indifferent as hers has been. Aidan nodded his head and looked at her again.
“Do you hate me?”, asked Aidan.
Tess looked at him once again trying to get a feel for what he was thinking. She got nothing.
“I don’t know you”, answered Tess
“That never stop you from hating someone before so again I ask you, do you hate me?”, asked Aidan calmly looking her in the eyes, more like penetrating her soul with his eyes.
She knew that look. It was a look that he got from Liz actually not from his father.
“I don’t hate you”, answered Tess slowly.
“Do you hate my parents?”, asked Aidan.
Tess once again thought of giving him a vague answer but she saw the determined look on his face and decided against it.
“I did, but now I don’t feel much of anything”, answered Tess. She knew it was a lie though.
“You are lying”, answered Aidan looking into her eyes once more.
Tess looked at him and answered once more.
“I hate them, I still do and that hate eats at me”, answered Tess.
“Do you love Pam Troy?”, asked Aidan.
Tess seemed surprised at this. It’s been a while since she even seen the woman. They were put in different prisons. Last she heard Pam Troy got parole about 4 years ago. But she went nuts and they put her in the ward. She kept repeating that Tess made her do it.
“At the time yes, now I don’t know”, answered Tess honestly.
“Did you use her too?”, asked Aidan.
“Yes”, said Tess simply.
“Why?”, asked Aidan but he already knew the answer to that question.
“Because it was easy, and I needed to get back at Max”, answered Tess.
“I have one more question then I’ll leave”, said Aidan.
Tess nodded her head.
“Did you ever in your lifetime love me at all?”, asked Aidan.
Tess looked at him and saw the sadness there. It was painful and she resisted the urge to clench her fists. She didn’t want to answer this.
“I don’t have to answer you”, said Tess.
“I know that but I’m asking you anyway”, answered Aidan.
Tess looked at him and knowing that he would probably sit there all day until he got an answer.
“No I didn’t”, answered Tess.
“I didn’t love you then because I don’t know how to do that. I only know how to hate. I hated Liz and I hated Max, and my father and his whore. I hated them because I don’t know how to love”, answered Tess.
“But you told me that you don’t hate me, then what is it that you feel for me?”, asked Aidan.
“Nothing, I feel nothing”, answered Tess.
“How can you feel nothing?”, asked Aidan getting angry.
She knew he would.
“You wouldn’t understand, your father loves you, Liz loves you, you probably have a whole group of people that love you, I was never taught that”, said Tess.
“My mother didn’t because she herself didn’t know how”, answered Tess.
“That’s”, said Aidna then he bust out laughing.
“That’s bullshit”, said Aidan looking at the woman in front of him.
“My mother loved you, she loved you with her whole heart, and you sent her to destroy my father, Pam Troy loved you, she is in a the looney bin because of what you did, grandpa loved you, he let you get away with anything you wanted, he told you he loved you everyday, I know he did, he tried to keep you from turning out like you she-devil mother, Sorry Ms. Harding if I don’t buy your sob story about the poor little girl that is in here because she received no love, I’m 15 years old a bit naïve but not stupid”, said Aidan.
Tess looked at him in shock.
“Well I see where you get your attitude from”, said Tess crossing her arms over her chest.
“Yeah from my mother Liz Parker-Evans, didn’t think I noticed that you refused to say that she is my mother did you?” asked Aidan. Tess shifted in her seat glaring at him.
“She is not your mother, I am”, said Tess.
Aidan just smiled. “I’ll repeat to you what I said to grandpa at the courthouse 11 years ago. You are not my mother. A mother is someone you reads you bed time stories, a mother yells at you for running in the living room, a mother is someone that helps you with your science project, a mother is someone who loves you”, said Aidan looking at Tess.
“And you Tess Harding are none of those things, You will never be any of those things. I have a mother her name is Liz Evans. She is and will always be my mother”, said Aidan getting up.
“Good day Ms. Harding it has been an enlightening afternoon”, said Aidan.
“Why did you come here”, asked Tess.
“Because I needed to confirm what I already know, that you have not changed and to forgive you”, answered Aidan.
“Why would you forgive me I thought you hated me”, replied Tess.
“Forgiving you is for me, it’s for my piece of mind not for your benefit and I don’t hate you. I feel nothing for you. You were wrong when you said that I didn’t understand. I do, I don’t’ feel anything towards you. You are a stranger to me, someone that I would pass on the street and not remember in the next minute. You are insignificant now. I won’t remember you after this day, I know that. I just needed closure. You were a part of my life that I needed to shut the door too that’s all. If I feel anything towards you it would be anger because you hurt my parents; that’s all. You are as significant as someone that would have mugged my parents. Yes you hurt them and yes I’m angry but that’s all. It will pass. It has passed. I feel nothing for you Ms. Harding. But I know for a fact that you feel something for me and that will eat at you behind those bars at night. Good Day, I hope you find that closure that I received today. Thank you for your time”, answered Aidan getting up and walking out.
She could still here the noise of his timberland boots hitting the ground as he walked away. She still could hear the doors shutting telling her that she was still in prison. She could here the door behind her open and she could see the officer walking her to her cell. She could hear the women talking to each other. She knew that this was the end. Her own son didn’t feel anything for her. She thought that he would hate her, despise her even but he felt nothing and that was worse then anything else. She swallowed back the sob that wanted to escape her mouth. She knew that she would never be the same. She then felt it the overwhelming pain the grief the guilt envelop her whole heart making her tremble. She laid back on her bed looking at the ceiling of her cell. She noticed the cracks that were there but nothing else. She thought she would be able to handle the meeting but she couldn’t She couldn’t handle a 15 years old boy. She couldn’t handle the fact that he didn’t hate her. She couldn’t handle the fact that they didn’t feel anything for her. She knew that they would forget her this day, but she wouldn’t forget them. Her son’s words came back full force at her.
“I don’t feel anything towards you. You are a stranger to me, someone that I would pass on the street and not remember in the next minute. You are insignificant now. You are insignificant now. You are insignificant now. You are insignificant now”.
Those words repeated over and over in her mind. The next morning they found her. Her eyes wide open and her expression blank.
“Harding”, yelled the officer.
“Harding”, yelled the officer again.
Tess didn’t make a move. She had retreated. She had lost not only the battle but the war. Her mind was gone now and there would be nothing that would bring it back.
Aidan walked into the waiting arms of his parents hugging them tightly.
“Baby?”, asked Liz looking at him almost afraid to see what damage that Tess probably inflicted on her son.
“Let’s go home”, said Aidan smiling at her and kiss her cheeks.
He reached over and hugged his dad. Max looked at Liz over his son’s shoulders. Liz just shrugged her shoulders and sighed. He would tell them on his own time.
“Aidan”, yelled Malia looking at her older brother.
She was 11 years old now and didn’t understand everything but she knew that Aidan needed her now.
“Yeah babe, I’m coming”, said Aidan smiling at his baby sister that was standing there with her hands on her hips.
Their twin brother and sister stood next to Malia trying to copy her stance and he laughed. “Let’s go home”, said Aidan wrapping an arm around her shoulders walking out of that prison. His family had wanted to be there for him that day and he knew that they would always be there for him.
“Aidan, Aidan”, yelled the twins jumping into his arms.
He laughed again. He loved his family.
“Mom dad you coming?”, asked Aidan.
Liz grabbed Max’s hands and nodded her head following the rest of the family out. They would talk about it but not now.
“Dad stop panicking”, said Aidan rolling his eyes.
“But you are getting married, my baby is getting married”, said Max pacing.
Aidan just laughed. This was his wedding day and he wasn’t surprised when he saw his father acting a fool as his mother would say. Liz breezed into the room, rolled her eyes at Max and went up to her son kissing his cheeks.
“Aren’t you the most handsome man in the whole world”, said Liz kissing his cheeks.
“Mom”, whined Aidan.
Aidan shifted her around so that both of them could look at Max pacing in the room. Suddenly the door open and in walked Maria.
“Max please stop the pacing you are acting like you won’t get laid after this wedding, weddings are the best Viagra”, said Maria.
Max stopped at this almost choking. “But you wouldn’t know anything about Viagra would you Max?”, said Maria.
“Maria”, yelled Michael into the room.
Max just shook his head.
“Now Aidan I got you this book, it tells you how to hit all the right spots when you are having sex, I know I like to be eaten out but every girl is different”, said Maria handing him the book. “Oh and here”, said Maria handing him a vibrator and a couple of condoms.
“Maria we are in a church”, sighed Liz.
“So, like God didn’t get busy himself, please God invented sex, and I must thank him”, said Maria kneeling down and crossing herself before thank the hold father for the invention of sex. “Maria”, yelled Michael put his head down into his hands.
His woman drove him crazy. Aidan just smiled.
“Well Mrs. Evans, let’s see if Maria was right”, said Max walking into their now empty home.
Their youngest were sleeping at friends’ homes and Malia was staying at her dorm room.
“What could Maria possible be right about?”, asked Liz.
“Weddings being the best Viagra”, said Max with his eyes twinkling.
“Why Mr. Evans, I do believe that we can check that theory out”, said Liz unzipping her dress and making it fall to the ground.
Even at her age Liz Evans was still a sight. She was beautiful and elegant and Max Evans loved her with his whole heart. Max quickly removed his pants and rushed her making her giggle out. He didn’t waste anytime slipping into her waiting heat. He trembled at how even after all these years she was still tight and wet. She could make a man die from such pleasure. Being married to Liz for the last 30 years have been a dream come true for Max. He had happiness and family. It was all he ever wanted. He remembered that day Aidan went to see Tess. He did tell them everything and Liz cried but Aidan told him that it was an experience that he needed to have. He needed to meet this woman that had made a change in his life and brought him a mother. Liz cried at that. She was always afraid that Aidan wouldn’t love her anymore and that Tess would become his mother. It was one of her biggest fears. Max was actually shocked as well as Aidan but Aidan quickly reassured her that would never happen because she was his mother forever and a day. They spent the remainder of the night sleeping on Aidan’s bed because they didn’t want to be too far away from him. Life continued on after that. Maria still said things that made Isabel and Alex shoot her disapproving looks and Phillip Evans chock on his wine. Liz and Max were still lovy dovy. Their whole family still had Sunday dinners at least once month to catch up on the happenings of their lives. Amy Deluca and Jim Valenti did eventually tie the knot that of course Amy bragged out her sex life. That sex life must have been good because they welcomed a baby girl 9 months after the honeymoon. Alex and Isabel had two more children spent their time lavishing them with gifts. Isabel fit well as a mother. Serena and Zan loved each other and continued to do so even when Serena was diagnosed with Cancer. She made it through and had been in remission for years now. It was a tough time for all of them especially Zan that feared that he would lose her but Serena has always been a fighter. Ava and Kyle had a little trouble especially when he had gotten shot almost dying. She begged him to leave the police force. He refused and he had moved out but when she visited him at work intending to give him a piece of her mind she saw why he loved his work so much. He sat there talking to a rape victim, he caught the rapist making the young woman get her closure. Ava finally understood why he did it. He loved helping people and that was one of the things that she loved most about him. He returned home shortly after that and 9 months later they welcomed a baby girl. That was a fine make up session. Phillip and Jeff Parker’s business flourished as well as their friendship. Nacny, Rosie, Diane, and Amy all still hang out and talk. They found peace in each other that they loved. Darcy did go to jail and ended of killing herself a short time later. The woman that cause them such grief, didn’t have a single person show up at her funeral. Ed and Rosie’s marriage was rocky sometimes they had a lot of issues but that didn’t stop them from loving each other. They loved each other in ways that they didn’t think possible. All the children ventured out into the world doing good. Something that their mothers taught them to do.
“Liz I’m cumming”, yelled Max thrusting into his wife.
He loved her so much.
“Cum Max, Cum”, yelled Liz grabbed his butt and pushing him closer to her waiting heat.
“Liz”, yelled Max when he felt his orgasm rip through him.
“Max”, yelled Liz surrendering to her own orgasm.
A while later as they cuddled up on their bed Max reached over and kissed her forehead.
“I love you my Liz, you are my everything, these 30 years have been the best I could have ever asked for, you are my soul mate, my everything”, whispered Max once more.
The only response that Liz has was “Oh Max”.
Those words were spoken for the next 40 years until the day that these two soul mates died in each other’s arms.
The End..
