Katie: Ype, whether we like what they say or not, it helps...
Carolyn: When my youngest son was in about fourth grade he asked me if we had elecftricity when I was young...I laughed at the time but thinking back on it now, it was a perfectly logical question. I wonder what his grandson is going to ask him when he's in fourth grade...

Chapter: 21
Michael and Max got to the hospital about a half an hour before their shift was to start and were in the locker room getting ready for work when Fowler and a group of young doctors came in to join them. Max thanked all of them for their well wishes and for the honor guard and everything they did for Liz and him on Saturday. He told them that it was really a wonderful gesture and it meant a lot to both of them. They all smiled at him and told him it was their pleasure and they were only sorry they hadn’t known sooner because they would have made a bigger display for him.
Max assured them the display they set up was more than enough and totally unnecessary. The young doctors just smiled at him and said they were happy to have been able to take part and they felt that Liz was beautiful, inside and out. Max had to agree with them there.
“She definitely is one of a kind.” They all smiled at that remark and on that note Max excused himself because he wanted to call Liz before he went upstairs to pediatrics to check on his little patients.
He took out his cell and chose number one on the menu and it rang a minute before Maria answered…she and Liz were still in the car on their way home.
They had to stop for some groceries for in the morning because they didn’t want to take a chance on the milk and bread that had been sitting there untouched for the past 5 days. Maria said hi to Max and then handed the phone to Liz who said hello, she melted at the sound of his voice…she told him to call her on his break, that it didn’t matter what time it was, and she would talk to him then.
Max smiled to himself and told her he loved her and she repeated the same and hung up. She handed her phone over to Maria and headed on home with a great big cheesy grin on her face. She couldn’t wait to talk to him.
Maria just smiled, ‘ain’t love grand?’
*~*~*
Max and Michael finished their shifts about 3:00 a.m. and headed straight home wearing their scrubs, it had been a long night, the small talk had been minimal and it was nice that they were both headed to the same place…at least they could save money on commuting most of the time since Max would be living with Liz until they could find a place of their own.
Max thought ‘a place of their own; that really sounded great’; he hoped his mom would be okay alone. He wondered how long it would take them to find something and if they should buy immediately or just rent. A lot of decisions to make but there was time, his tired mind kept running through all of the various scenarios and he was thankful that Michael was doing the driving.
Liz really had worn him out over the week-end; it was a very tense week but the end result was perfect and Max’s mind continued to wander as they drove through the dark streets without a sound between them.
Michael was just as excited as Max was about getting home, even if he had been with Maria longer than Max had been with Liz as a couple Maria still caused a rumble when he thought about her.
When they finally got home Max opened the door to the apartment and went straight in and Michael followed his lead…both men headed to their respective rooms where Max found a small lamp with a low wattage light burning on Liz’s dresser with a note hanging from it. He walked over to it and opened it up…
“Max, sweetheart, please don’t forget to wake me up. Love you, Liz.”
Max’s heart swelled, a lump formed in his throat as he took his scrubs off and threw them in the general direction of the clothes hamper, he quietly walked over to his side of the bed and crawled in next to his wife.
He slowly turned toward her and she automatically moved into him and snuggled up like it was the most natural action in the world. He lay there for a minute, soaking in her beauty, and then he started to blow on her eyelids as he pushed her hair behind her ear. She took her hand and swiped at her eyes and Max blew again…then she started to come around.
She opened her eyes and looked up at him and gave him a smile that would put sunshine to shame. He melted, no other word could describe it, and he was simply a puddle of goo. He reached his arm around her and pulled her into him as close as he could get her and gave her the longest, sweetest kiss he could muster. He didn’t know he could feel so happy to see someone; it was beyond his wildest imagination. He was tingling from his head to his toes and it wasn’t an erotic feeling…it went beyond eroticism…it was heavenly. That was the only word that he could think of to describe how he was feeling at this moment in time, heavenly. Liz felt the emotion in his kiss and was having the same reaction Max was having. She wondered if it would always be this way, God she could only hope so.
She looked up at him when they came up for air, smiled and said,
“How was your night?”
“Well, the guys met Mike and me in the locker room when we got to the hospital and told me how impressed they were with you and congratulated us again.” He said as he ran his fingers down the side of her cheek.
“Fowler said that Father O’Brien was responsible for the white runner in the chapel and Sister Margaret took care of the organ, choir, kneeler and bench.”
He kept talking to her as his eyes roamed over her face.
“I hadn’t seen Father or Sister (kiss on the forehead) but I..(Kiss the eyelids)… . Will … make … a … (kiss the nose) special…effort..toseethemmy…nextdayshift (arrive at the mouth).”
He was having some difficulty keeping his mind on a conversation…
“Oh, I will be sending out formal thank you notes but we need to talk about what you would like...” She tried to talk as her toes started to curl from Max’s playing around. “I think a personal note on something printed would be nice.” She shivered…
“How do you feel about monogrammed stationary on a nice paper?” Her voice went up an octave, “We also need to send announcements.” She shivered again as she spoke…Max smiled. “Mom said that our relatives would be very disappointed if they didn’t hear from us personally, so I thought-we-could-include-a-wedding-picture. What do you think?” She shrieked while Max worked his way down her stomach with his right hand as he caressed her cheek with his left hand.
“I think the monogram sounds great and I trust you to find something nice, but if you want me to go with you I will be glad to.” Max absentmindedly planted a kiss on her nose again…
“Mmmm please, go with me. I think this is something we should both choose.” She squeaked again… “We will probably use whatever we choose for a very long time so it needs to be a joint effort, no? Max, stop it for a minute, I can’t think straight.” She practically begged…
“You’re right, a joint effort it is. C’mere!” And Max chuckled at the reaction he was having on her.
And so she did… because by this time it was almost 5:00 a.m. and getting close to her alarm going off so the two didn’t waste anymore time talking…they could do that later this evening.
*~*~*
When Liz got out of the shower she found Max sound asleep so she quietly got dressed and headed for the kitchen. She made a pot of coffee, her P, B and J sandwich and then went and quietly tapped on Maria’s bedroom door. Maria acknowledged with an “ok” and then proceeded to head for the bathroom. Back to the old routine…the party was over.
“So, is the groom asleep already?”
“Yeah, he was conked out before I got out of the bathroom…how about Michael?”
“He’s sawing logs too.”
“Poor babies…I wonder how long it will take them to be able to work regular hours?”
“Don’t know.” Maria said in a groggy tone as she poured herself a cup of coffee.
“But it’s nice being awakened by a person instead of that damned alarm clock. I never realized that before.” Liz said to her roomie and best friend. “And it doesn’t hurt that the person is the man you love either.” She added with a grin.
“I know what you mean. I never really gave it much thought before because you always woke me up…an alarm is going to be the pits.” Maria said as she sat down at the bar in the middle of the kitchen.
“What do you mean?” Liz sounded just a little puzzled at Maria’s remark.
“Liz, aren’t you going to find a place of your own?” Maria questioned…
“Yeah, I guess we are…I just didn’t think about you not being there too.” Liz hadn’t thought that far ahead…
“Oh Liz, you’re kidding, right?” Maria didn’t know whether to laugh or cry…
“No, not really, but you’re right. It’s going to be weird Maria; we’ve been together for 5 years now…this is going to be strange.” Liz got a worried look on her face…
“For sure Liz, kinda like a divorce.” Maria wondered just what in the hell her friends’ intentions were, or if she even had any.
“Oh well, it all goes with growing up I guess. Maybe we can find places next door to each other…what do you think?” Liz asked.
“Let’s talk about it with the guys later, okay? It’s way too early in the morning to start thinking this hard.” Maria didn’t want to do any serious thinking…she hadn’t even had her shower yet.
“Yeah, let’s.”
Liz headed on out to work and Maria prepared herself for a days worth of conferences on the computer…it had been a long five days and her bosses were understanding only to a point. She surely would be glad when she didn’t have to do this anymore…she needed to seriously start thinking about a new career.
