The only thing was that it took several decades for that to happen, she meet a human Max he was a showoff but sweet, and comforted her through her pain even though he didn't understand why she was so broken.
Years later they had a child but she's sick; very sick. Even though Max and Lily aren't together anymore they're still friends, but what happens when Jake comes back after so many years...
