BACKGROUND INFO:
(You must read this before you start the fic or you may not understand it.)
In this world Alex didn't die so disregard any of that also the whole Tess
being evil thing because in this fic she isn't. Season 3 never happened. The
pod squad decided to leave in departure. No one stayed leaving all four humans
heartbroken. However the moment where Michael and Maria had sex did happen only
Michael never told her he was leaving so when she woke up he was gone. She later
found out what had happened from Liz therefore creating the hatred she has for
him that you will see later on. When the pod squad do return it is 2 years later.
Liz and Alex are still in college, while Maria graduated early with a major
in Fashion design. She is now a world-renowned designer and highly sought after.
After taking a year off to find his calling, Kyle eventually did the one thing
he never thought he'd do. He joined the Roswell Police Academy. Buddha had lead
Kyle to being a cop. Kyle no longer preaches Buddha. Jim and Amy got married
1 year ago. Liz still lives in the apartment on top of the Crashdown that she
now owns due to her parents early retirement so they moved to Florida. Alex
and Kyle both live with Maria in a huge house she bought near the Crashdown.
Alex lives there to save money and Kyle lives there to help Maria in her situation,
which will be explained later. Liz and Alex cannot wait for the day that there
significant others return. Kyle feels nothing of their return, as he didn't
really bond with any of them so he held no emotional attachments as he and Tess
didn't get too close. Maria doesn't want any of them to come back ever. She
has this idea that their lives would be better if they didn't return. She doesn’t
regret the time that she spent with them while they were here but because of
the situation that Michael had left her in she is hoping he never returns. In
this fic they were 18 when the aliens left so that makes them all 20 now. It
is the year 2004.
*****
"What if they don't want to see us?" a voice was heard coming out
of the Granolith.
"Of course they'll want to see us Michael." Max said confidently
"That's easy for you to say Maxwell, Liz probably doesn't hate you."
"Maria won't hate you." Tess said to him.
"Don't be to sure Tess." Michael had been worried the whole way back. How was Maria going to act after what he did?
"Well then maybe you should have told her you were leaving," Isabel said walking past him
"You're never gonna let this go are you Iz?"
"Nope. You should have told her." Isabel told him. She still couldn't believe that he didn't tell her that they were leaving.
"Come on let's just go ok. Think positive. We'll head to the Crashdown maybe we'll be in luck and they’ll all still be there,” Max suggested.
"It's late," Michael said thinking it was a bad idea. He desperately wanted to see Maria but he needed more time.
"I know that Michael but we were always there after closing."
"Times change Maxwell." Michael pointed out.
Isabel turned to him "God Michael, anyone would think that you don't want to see them."
"Of course I want to see them Isabel." Michael yelled.
"Then what's with the attitude?"
"I just don't want Maria to hate me," Michael said quietly
Isabel hugged her brother. "Don't worry Michael; I'm sure she's already forgiven you."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, so come on let's go I'm cold." Michael laughed at Isabel. But something in the back of his mind kept telling him that Maria hated him. That he should have stayed here on earth. He pushed the thought away and headed after the others in the direction of the Crashdown.
*~*~*~*
"Unky Awif, where momma?"
Alex looked down at the chubby arm tugging on his pant leg. "Momma had to go get something from the office so she’ll be back soon ok!"
"K," The 18 month old smiled at his Unky Alex then ran off screaming. "Unky Awif say soon," he told another 18 month old that also smiled than ran into the back room of the Crashdown almost knocking over Liz who laughed.
"Baby sitting duty?" she asked Alex
"Yeah momma had a problem at the office." Alex explained then smiled when he heard laughter coming from the back.
"God they're just the cutest things ever aren't they?" Liz cooed.
"Only when they want something, otherwise there down right little terrors." Alex said then shuddered at the memory of earlier that morning.
FLASHBACK
Alex was a sleep on the couch when he had heard the quiet laughter of one of the children.
"Don't wake him Maffwou."
"I won't." one voice bit back.
Alex opened his eyes to see two smirking toddlers run away laughing. 'What are they up to?'
Alex still half asleep walked into the bathroom to wash his face when he looked into the mirror and screamed. Alex stormed into the kitchen not noticing their mother and Kyle in the room. Kyle burst into laughter. It turned out that the two had gotten into their mothers makeup bag and decided to have a little fun with a sleeping Alex. Alex looked down at the two in question who had the two most innocent looking faces on.
END FLASHBACK
"Oh come on Alex, it was funny and anyway like you could ever stay mad at them." Kyle said as he walked in the Crashdown.
"Your not the one who had to spend an hour getting the @#%$ off." Alex whined.
"Yeah but I bet you looked pretty." Liz teased.
Alex threw a dishcloth at her. "So where's Maria?" Kyle asked
"Office."
"Mmm, another stuff up probably." Kyle said
They all jumped when they heard a crash coming from the back followed by an "Aunty Wiz."
Liz ran to the back room to access the damage that the two had undoubtedly caused while Alex and Kyle laughed. Their laughter was interrupted however by the bell above the door.
"Sorry were closed." Kyle said not looking at the door.
"Even for us?"
