Hi everyone this is my first fic, so be gentle. Let's get this out of the way …I …Don't …Own…Roswell. If I did things would have turned out way different. This fic is Max/Tess, with some Michael/Isabelle thrown in. Sorry Dreamers. Okay on to the story. I'm changing the format, hope it's easier to read.

Max gazed into Liz's eyes, taking the love he saw there. It had been almost a year since Tess had killed Alex and left Roswell. Maria and Michael were still dating and Isabelle was dating a guy named Jesse. Max pulled Liz closer. The only thing missing in his life was his son. His heart ached knowing his son was out there. He was determined to find him and bring him home. Home where he and Liz would raise and love him together. Max and Liz were just returning from the movies. "Oh come on how could you say "The One" is not a great movie?" cried Max. "It was totally unbelievable… parallel universes? Give me a break." laughed Liz. As they approached her house, Max felt a chill run up his spine. Liz continued to malign the movie. As they rounded the corner, a lone figure stood on the sidewalk. It was Brody. "Hey Brody"greeted Liz. The look of utter disdain that he gave them caused them to gasp. Max took a step closer to him and peered into his eyes. "Its Larek" he stated. " Yes Your Majesty it is I Larek."said the alien inhabiting Brody's body. "What brings you here Larek? Have you any news about Max's son?" hesitantly asked Liz. "Oh yes I know exactly where the young prince is." answered Larek. Excitement rose within Max, after all this time he would finally know what happened to his son. "Where…where is he?" cried Max. " I can't tell you here. This body grows weak. Gather everyone together in a few hours, and meet me in Crashdown."replied Larek as he turned and walked away. Max and Liz stared at each other puzzled at Larek's odd behavior. Dismissing it, they ran to Liz's and called everyone.

An hour later everyone (Max, Liz, Michael, Maria, Isabelle, and Kyle) sat in the Crashdown awaiting Larek. "Why did he want us all here?" Isabelle. It was hard for her to get out of the house without her mother getting suspicious. Larek walked in, all eyes turned to him.

 " The Royal Three" he sneered. "Larek?"said Max. "How are you enjoying your human lives?" asked Larek as he paces around the room. "Enjoy being a normal teenager Isabelle. Enjoy being class president, head cheerleader, head of the year book committee, and all around miss perfect?" continued Larek. Isabelle's eyes went wide and she opened her mouth to defend herself. But Larek had moved on.

 "What about you Michael? Like that nine to five just hanging out being one of the guys, with the boss busting your chops for doing things your way? You …the man who led hundreds of thousands of soldiers into battle…you who talked diplomacy with the crowned heads of hundreds of worlds reduced to a mere grunt." continued Larek.

A growl escaped from Michael. Again Larek moved on." How about you Max? Enjoy being a carefree teenager; enjoy not having the responsibility of an entire world on your shoulders? Are you having a good time going to movies and dinners with this human who knows not the meaning of suffering. She who was not trained to be a life mate to a King… but then again you are not a king anymore are you?" demanded Larek.

Hurt and confused Isabelle asked, "Why are you doing this? Why are you talking to us this way?" Larek turned to glare at them. "You …all of you make me sick. You talk about just wanting to be normal teenagers, but you are not normal. You seem to conveniently forget that there is a war raging on our world.

 Our people are fighting and dying in your names!" shouted Larek. Max, Isabelle, and Michael were silent as the weight of his words fell on their minds. "Why are you doing this to them? Just tell us where Max's son is!" cried Liz.

She went over to Max and wrapped her arms around him. Larek snorted in contempt. "Tell me where my son is! Tell me what Tess has done to my child!" cried Max.

"Her Majesty has done nothing but care for and protect Prince Andreas."replied Larek. "How can a murderess care for anyone? She murdered Alex and took the Granolith to Antar!"cried Isabelle. "Oh and how quick you are to point that out. No one , not even one of you took the time ton think that maybe she had been set up. You never even gave her the benefit of the doubt. All of you rushed to condemn her. Only too happy to return to your happy carefree lives." raged Larek.

 "We know she killed Alex… she mind warped me…made me put his body in his van…made me think it was luggage." cried Kyle joining the conversation. "Are you sure it was her? Aren't you forgetting that she had an identical duplicate of her on this planet?" asked Larek.

 Doubt for the first time crept into their minds. "No… I made love to Tess…I know it was her. I connected with her, I felt her soul." whispered Max. In his mind, Max replayed his night together with Tess. He relived the moment when their souls touched.

 The pure, shining energy from Tess blended with his own. The absolute love and joy from her overwhelmed him…, which is why he found it hard to believe that she killed Alex… she seemed to be too good. 'Too good is right' thought Max 'She was too good to be true.' Liz looked at Max hurt in her brown eyes.

 " I'm going to explain this to you only once. Her Majesty was kidnapped in New York. When you found her, it wasn't her it was Ava. Amazing how none of you noticed. Her Majesty was held captive until it was time for the child to be conceived. Luckily for you Ava refused to bear your child Max. Her Majesty's mind was controlled, she made love to you and was captured later.

 It was Ava who killed Alex, yet you condemned her to a life of torture and death." explained Larek. Blood drained from every face. "Death? Tess is dead?" demanded Michael. "No, but she soon will be." replied Larek.

 "What about Max's son?" asked Liz. "Prince Andreas. He is with his mother at the moment. You see Ontarian babies are very connected to their mothers. If forcefully removed from them they die. So the Prince is allowed to stay with his mother until he reaches his sixth month. After that he will be taken, and his mother killed." said Larek.

 "Oh no…what will happen to him?" cried Maria. "Still more concerned over him that his mother?" chided Larek. "We have had an Antarian Vision seeker look into the future." he continued.

"You have people who can see into the future?" demanded Kyle. Larek raised an eyebrow, but answered. "They are very rare individuals. Traylor was a very powerful Visionseeker."he said. "What do you mean was?" cried Max.

 Larek sighed "His last vision was so horrible and painful that he died upon revealing it." "What did he see?" whispered Liz. "He said that the Prince was taken from his mother at six months, and was forced to watch his mother tortured and beaten to death.

 A year later underground supporters of the crown free him. As he grew, so did his powers. The combination of genes from his parents produced one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Another thing that grew was his hatred of all of you. At the age of twelve Prince Andreas decimates Ki`var's army by himself." said Larek.

Maria interrupted "So what's the problem? Antar is saved from Ki'var and Andreas can come to earth to live with Liz and Max."she said. Larek gave her a look of disgust. "The only reason Price Andreas came to earth at the age of fourteen was to destroy it, which he does by the age of fifteen." he sneered.

 Gasp and cries of alarm peppered the air. "Why would he destroy the earth?" cried Liz clutching Max tighter. "Andreas never forgave you for what happened to his mother. The bond between an Antarian mother and child is very strong. From birth he feels what she feels.

 All of the hurt, anger, rage and betrayal Her Majesty feels, Andreas also feels. Antarian babies are also self-aware from birth. At three months, he knows who he is, where he is, and why he and his mother are prisoners. The hate Her Majesty feels for you are multiplied in him. At the age of fourteen Andreas will come to earth to meet you.

He will see that Max and Liz have married, have three children, and live happy normal lives. Their happiness drives a stake through his heart. He resents the fact that while his mother lay cold in her grave, Liz presided as queen of the manor in his fathers' home.

 He particularly resented the fact that thirteen year old Max jr. was spoiled and pampered and never knew a day of fear in his life, while Andreas himself had known nothing but fear and death. He went to your door Max, and you answered, there was no mistaking his identity he looked exactly like you except that he had his mother's eyes.

 He asked you why you didn't come for him, why didn't you save them? You couldn't answer Max, you couldn't tell him that your wife convinced you to stop looking for him and start a new family with her. No, you couldn't look into those icy blue eyes and admit that you severed any emotional tie you had with Antar.

 You couldn't admit to your son that his mother was less than dirt to you and Liz, your sweet beautiful Liz was all that mattered to you. You didn't tell him, but he knew, he knew you so easily. So he didn't say another word, he turned and left. The next day the earth was under attack. They were pitifully overmatched. Less than a month later every human on this planet was eradicted."Finished Larek. Tears coursed down every face in the room, they fell for the pain of a little boy, for guilt over their selfish blindness, and mostly they fell for the millions of humans that will pay for their mistakes. "Oh God Larek…is there anything we can do to stop this?" cried Max. " Yes…. yes there is" said Larek.

That's it for now… I hope this wasn't too long, I couldn't stop writing. Please review. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Flames are also welcome.
