Thanx guys *GUSH* and BTW to answer your question foreverdreamer15 Maria lost the baby right after the confrontation with Liz when the wedding was called off, she then took off.
39.
Michael stood outside of the Deluca house unsure of how to proceed. That afternoon he had sat down and talked to his sister about how he was feeling. He had started dating a girl he had met at School a few months earlier but found that he couldn’t move forward with the relationship because he was still confused over Maria.
When Maria returned they decided to try to be friends. Michael noticed how hard Maria had tried to change her life and that she was a much better person all round now. He couldn’t hold a grudge for her leaving him during a time they should have been together because he knew without a doubt that Maria Deluca was in no condition to have been there for anyone.
‘So do you love Amelia?’ Liz asked him.
‘I’m not sure’ he told her honestly.
‘Does she love you?’
‘She says she does?’
‘Okay so without thinking about it just answer this question. If 20 years time who do you see yourself growing old with’
‘Maria’ he answered and then paled immediately when he thought about what he just said.
‘Do you love her?’ Liz asked gently.
‘Yes’ he said without hesitation ‘I never stopped’
‘Can you forgive her for the things in the past because believe me it’s not easy’ Liz smiled realising how similar her and her brothers situations were.
‘I have already forgiven her and moved past that I guess. We’re friends’ he replied.
‘How does she feel about you?’ Liz asked then.
‘I’m not sure to tell you the truth. She got pretty upset when I started dating Amelia I guess somewhere in the back of my mind I hoped it was because she had feelings for me’
‘Well then my advice to you big brother is simple. It wont matter how much time you spend with Amelia or how much better she might be for you, if you love Maria even half as much as I do Max then I know without a doubt things with you and Amelia will never work out and you will end up hurting her. Break up with her now before things get too out of hand’ Liz told him.
‘Your right’ he offered her a small smile ‘what would I do without you’ he laughed.
‘Let’s hope neither of us has to find that out Mikey’ she grinned.
That was why Michael was here now. He had taken his sisters advice and broken up with Amelia. It had been one of the hardest things he had ever done and she was very upset with him, especially when he told her his reasons why.
Michael walked to the door and knocked twice and then stepped back and waited for the door to be answered.
Maria opened it carrying a box of alien crap, which he assumed was for her mother’s store ‘Hi, um come in’ she said and turned to walk back into the main room.
‘Looks like I chose a bad time’ with a small smile.
‘I didn’t expect you today’ she replied
‘I know I actually wanted to ask you something’ he said nervously and took the box of things in Maria’s hand and put them down on the floor next to them.
‘Oh okay’ she replied without looking up.
‘I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go out to dinner with me on Saturday night’
‘Oh! You’re not trying to set me up on a blind date are you?’ she asked.
‘No’
‘Oh so do you mean just you and me like as a date?’ she asked hesitantly
‘Um well yeah if you want to’
‘What about Amelia?’ she questioned.
‘We broke up’ he told her simply.
‘Oh okay’ she smiled.
‘Okay?’
‘Yeah I would love to go out with you Michael’
‘Great’
