Summary: This sequel deals with issues the six were left with
right after my other story ended. What 'other' symptoms might Liz
develop carrying Max's child? What happens when Kyle and Maria
commiserate about their parents' dating? What happens if Kyle
finds out about the alien trio? And, what about the other alien
pods from the same crash as the trio? Can there be more alien
shape shifters out there?
Author's note: If you haven't read my previous story, "Us
Six Against the World", it is recommended before reading
this one. This story begins the day after my other story ended.
It's gonna be another LONG one. ;-)
I Knew I Loved You
By Savage Garden
"There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
::CHORUS::
Sense of Completion (Part 22)
Liz slowly came awake, but before she even opened her eyes, her body started throbbing and shaking. Liz shot up in bed and frowned. She didn't have pain, only...something like an ache deep inside. Like she needed something, but she didn't know what.
She looked around her room and frowned remembering that after
she had gotten back from the hospital late last night, her
parents had hovered over her so that Max decided that he
shouldn't try to sneak into her room that night. It had been two
nights now, and Liz missed him. Just the thought of the last time
they were together, made Liz start to throb and shiver again. She
threw off the covers and after a shower, she got dressed and went
into the kitchen.
"Hi honey. Did you sleep okay?" Her mother looked her
over, saw how tired her daughter looked and hugged her close. She
could have lost her little girl last night was all she could
think.
Liz hugged her mom back and then moved toward the refridgerator.
Her body was still throbbing and humming, like she was craving
something, but she didn't know what. "I slept okay. You
should know, you kept checking me." Liz gave her mom a
sideways look.
Her mom looked sheepish. "I know, I'm sorry honey, it just
scared us so much, that I had to check on you to reassure myself
that you were okay." Her mother admitted.
Liz nodded and realized that Max had been right about not trying
to sneak into her room last night. She held back a smile trying
to imagine what her mom would have said if she would have found
Max in her bed.
"What are you plans today sweetheart?" Her father asked
coming into the room and hugging her tight.
"Ah, I was going to go see my friend Cassie, they're going
to let her out of the hospital today, and we were all going to go
over and spend some time with her," Liz said frowning into
the refridgerator and then closing it and going through all the
cabinets with the same frown.
"Well your mother and I were supposed to go that monthly
convention for the restaurant today and come back tomorrow
afternoon, but I think we'll cancel it. We don't want to leave
you alone tonight." Her father said with worry, seeing how
tired his daughter looked, and the deep circles under her eyes.
Liz spun around from combing the closets. "No! Don't cancel.
I...I was going to have Maria spend the night tonight anyways,
and...I'll be gone probably all day spending time with Cassie.
Please, you won't even see me much today, and Maria will be here
tonight."
Her parents looked at each other and her mother sighed and her
father came up to her. "Okay Lizzy, if you're sure, but
promise me you will call us if you have any problems or need
anything tonight. Okay?" her father hugged her again.
"I promise. Just go and have a good time. I know you like
the group of people that you meet with every month. Have fun.
I'll be fine." Liz urged them, and then went back to looking
in the closets.
Nothing sounded good! She was starting to get jumpy, not knowing
what it was she was craving. She only knew that her body was
wanting something and was going to drive her crazy until she got
it. She sighed to herself, hoping that these strange new symptoms
that kept appearing, would not last the whole year and a half.
She saw her parents off and promised she would check in on the
cafe later on tonight since she and Maria were not working
tonight.
When her parents were gone Liz gave a frustrated sigh and then
shivered again. The ache inside of her was getting worse. She ran
to the fridge and grabbed the whole gallon of milk, and the
bottle of Tabasco that she kept stashed in her room, and poured
the whole bottle into the milk and drank the whole gallon of
milk.
Liz sighed as she started to relax a little, but it was only 10
minutes later, when she was putting on her sneakers, that it
started again. The throbbing was low in her belly and constant
now. And she grabbed a sweater to try to stop the shivers, and
then decided to go see Max. She needed to tell him about this.
She had promised him she would let him know if there were any new
symptoms. No secrets they had agreed.
Max came out of his room with a frown, and bumped into Isabel.
"Well, you've finally decided to get up?" Isabel teased
looking at the hall clock which read 11 am, and then back at her
frowning brother. "You look awful." Isabel commented
seeing his haggard face and tired, red rimmed eyes. "You
didn't sleep much last night did you?" she observed.
"No. So what's it to you?" Max sighed impatiently. He
wanted to go get something to eat, and not be interrogated the
minute he came out of his room.
Isabel raised an eyebrow at her brother's obviously agitated
mood. "Excuse me." She rolled her eyes and headed
toward her room. "You going over to Cassie's later? Alex and
I are going to go shopping, and then stop by."
Max frowned. He just wanted to see Liz. He didn't care what they
did after that, but he knew they needed to talk more with Cassie
and plan when to go see Jordan. None of them felt they should
wait another week before going. "Yeah, we all need to talk
and make plans, Liz and I will be there
later too." He sighed and headed down the stairs.
He came into the kitchen as his mom was leaving. "Oh, I'm
glad you're up. I was leaving you a note, to tell you that your
father and I have to go to the office and work on a case for
awhile today. You look tired honey." Mrs. Evans remarked
giving her son a hug, knowing she could have lost him last night.
"I'm okay. Just a little tired. I'll...I'll probably go to
bed early tonight." Max said trying not to smile at how
perfect this was going to work out later.
"Okay honey. You have the number at our office if you or
your sister need anything. Don't hesitate to call okay?"
Max nodded and watched his mom leave, and then ravaged the
kitchen for breakfast. He didn't know why, but he was starving
today. Max was finishing his third bowl of cereal when there was
a knock on the back door. He knew it was Liz, and jumped up,
opened the door and smiled.
"Hey." Max said and then he pulled her into the house,
slammed the door behind them, and took Liz into his arms and
ravished her mouth.
Liz moaned and wrapped her arms around Max's neck. And just
sighed into his mouth as he devoured hers. Their open mouth
kisses hot and needy.
Liz felt safe in Max's arms, with his scent all around her, his
strong arms holding her up, and his hot mouth making love to
hers. First he sucked her tongue into his mouth and caressed with
with his own, and then, without taking his mouth from hers, Max
turned and lifted her up against the wall so Liz could wrap her
legs around his waist.
Liz moaned and realized the shaking had stopped and the wild ache
was now not as sharp. Her body was telling her that it was
finally getting what it had needed. She was too far gone to fully
understand the full ramifications of this new symptom.
Liz pulled back and Max lifted his head and grinned at how
carried away he had gotten. He moved back from the wall and let
Liz's feet slide back down, but he kept her in his embrace.
"Morning." He grinned again, seeing how ravished and
dazed Liz looked.
Liz licked her lips and nodded. Max's eyes followed her tongue
and narrowed again with passion.
Liz was busy running her hands up and down Max's chest and arms.
She couldn't touch him enough. She leaned forward and kissed the
open v where his shirt was open, and then swirled her tongue
around his throat to taste him. She couldn't get enough of Max.
It was the taste and feel of Max that she needed.
Max let Liz's hands wander and he moaned and leaned his head back
just enjoying Liz's touch. They didn't even hear the car horn.
"That's Alex, I'll see you later Ma..." Isabel stopped
mid sentence when she came into the kitchen and saw Max and Liz
near the back door. They turned to Isabel both still looking
dazed with passion, and she laughed shaking her head. "Not
that you two care, but I'm leaving, we'll see you guys
later?" Isabel asked, looking them over with an amused grin
and wondering if they would make it out of the house today.
"Yeah, later." Max said and he and Liz walked Isabel to
the front door.
The horn honked again, and Isabel waved to Alex as she opened
the door. "Later guys." She grinned and ran out.
Max closed the door behind his sister and turned around and
grabbed Liz. Their tongues dueled, and Max lifted Liz up and
grunted when her legs came around him again.
Not stoping the kiss, Max just moaned and walked up the stairs
with Liz wrapped around him. He couldn't wait any longer, and
knew Liz wasn't felt the same way.
Max kicked his door shut just in case someone came home, and then
sat down in a chair with Liz still wrapped around him , his mouth
continuing it's sensual assault on hers. She tasted so good. Her
mouth so sweet and that combined with the spicy Tabasco sauce
that he could taste on her tongue, drove him crazier.
Obviously he had the same affect on Liz, for she was reaching for
his shirt, and unbuttoning it with shaky hands, and kissing him
everywhere she exposed another part of his chest.
"God Liz, I missed you last night." Max sighed and
tilted his head back to enjoy her mouth and hands on his chest.
He helped her shrug off his shirt and then lifted her sweater up,
kissing her
again hungrily when it came off and fell to the floor.
Max stood up with Liz in his arms, and carried her the three feet
to the bed and followed her down on it. Max took Liz in his arms
and just sighed in contentment. He loved this part of their
loving just as much. The closeness and the hugging and touching
that they shared, warmed his heart and soul.
When Liz reached sat up and reached for him, Max opened his eyes.
Liz met his surprised look with a wicked smile. "I forgot to
tell you my newest symptom."
Max saw her smile and knew she wasn't upset over whatever it was.
"Oh?" he swallowed tying to concentrate on what she was
saying, while her hands caressed him.
"Hmm.... I now have cravings for...." Liz licked her
lips and then leaned up closer to Max until her mouth was just
about to cover his. "You." She smiled and Max's eyes
grew wide before they glazed over with passion as Liz brought her
mouth down over his.
*Maybe he could stand another year 1/2 of this after all* he
thought, as his arms came around Liz and he pulled her up on top
of him. *If it didn't kill him first* was his last thought as he
captured her mouth again.
The shadow inside the car outside the Evan's house picked up
the cell phone and dialed the familiar number.
"They're both here. It's just the two of them... Okay, let
me know when you want me to make my move." the shadow said
into the phone, then hung up and sat staring at the house with
hard, evil eyes. Then the shadow looked around, saw the area was
quiet, and then shapshifted into another person, and smiling,
started up the car and drove away.
