A/N: Now that Help Me! is finished, I am working on another fic for Dark Angel. My muse is swinging that way at the moment. Anyway that one is just as dark and angst ridden as Help Me, so I needed some levity. Hehe. This is it. Came to me in one go and I. Just. Could. Not. Help. Myself.
Cat DNA
Max and Alec cooed at each other, beyond happy with their lot in life. Here they were, after so much trouble, married and more in love than they could have ever thought possible.
From the first moment of their relationship, it had been sunshine and rainbows. Cindy had been over the moon, glorying in what she felt was the best bit of matchmaking she had ever been fortunate enough to initiate. Normal had cried a little but given his blessing to their union, echoed by Logan, who had simply hoped that Max would find somebody who loved her as much as he did and make her happy.
One week after they declared their love in front of all their friends, Ames White had gone on national television and declared that it had all been one big misunderstanding and that there were no hard feelings, right. And that he for one was going to go fishing, so relaxing.
And now, finally, finally their little family was expanding. Max was pregnant, revelling in it in fact.
Here they were at the first ultrasound with Dex to find out how their little bundle of joy was doing.
Gently Dex pushed up Max's shirt and squirted some jelly on her swollen belly.
"Ooh, cold!" Max giggled.
"Too cold, love?" Alec inquired, all sympathy.
"No, I'm just so excited. We finally get to see the consummation of our love."
"I know, Maxie. I'm so excited I could cry." And Alec did just that, shedding some manly tears at the thought of seeing his son and heir, joined by Max, who was simply overcome that her strong hulk of a man could be so sensitive.
"Huh!" Dex had not spoken throughout this exchange, slightly nauseated by the lovey-dovey crap going on around him.
Max and Alec's heads swivelled around, faint expressions of disquiet on their faces. "What's the matter?"
"Well, nothing I suppose. As far as I can see they're healthy"
Alec and Max blanched at that, then beamed.
"Sweetie, do you hear that, there is more than one. Isn't it great. We'll have the family we always wanted." Alec only nodded and the two went back to nuzzling each other, whispering to each other and being insufferably cutesy.
"It's not just that. You know you both have a big helping of cat DNA?"
"Yes. And?" Alec wanted to know.
"Well, there is not just two." Dex paused a moment to let the information sink in.
"There's eight. With tails."
