Rating: I have to rate it M just to be safe.
Author: Masaia (Messiah)
Summary: The last delivery of the work day leaves Alec with a package of his own.
Reviews are graciously accepted, no matter how harsh…but this is my first fic and I am very sensitive so please be nice…just playing if I suck or I'm not writing the characters in true form let me know. I know I hated reading the books…Max seemed so different from the show especially in Skin Games…anyway without further ado…..

Jam Pony
"Hey rock star" Normal calls over to Alec who is at his locker having just turned in his signatures for the day. Groaning inwardly Alec turns and walks to the dispatch desk.
"What's up Normal buddy" he smiles.
"I need this delivered to this address" he tries to hand him a small gift wrapped package.
"No way Normal I'm off and I was just bout to head over to…"
"Come on Alec I really need this package delivered. Its personal and I don't trust your miscreant friends" he shoves the package at him. "You do this and I will owe you one".
"Fine, but don't forget you owe me" he takes the package and the address leaving out of Jam Pony.
Sector Three
Since the package was one of a personal nature Alec didn't need a signature so he was on his way over to Crash…but why Normal wanted a package delivered to girl that looked like a guy was enough to confuse him thoroughly.
'Normal has some serious issues' Alec thinks strolling down the street almost at his destination.
"There you are" a blond that Alec could definitely see himself on top of walks up to him. "You disappeared on me…one minute I'm the center of your universe and the next you're gone and I never hear from you again" she snaps.
'What is she talking about?' "Uh do I know you" Alec asks.
"Very funny dumbass" she rolls her eyes before shoving a tightly wrapped bundle into his chest. "Here you take him".
"Lady what are you talking about. I don't know you…"
"He's weird just like you Ben and I don't want him" she cuts him off. "And I can't take care of him" she sighs. "It's a good thing I ran into you. He was headed to the garbage".
"You were just gonna throw him away" Alec asks suddenly feeling very protective of the small bundle.
She shrugs. "Like I said, I don't want him and can't take care of him".
"Wait, what's his name?" Alec calls to her retreating back.
"Never gave him one…can't get attached to something you were just gonna throw away right? And just so you know the only reason I kept him alive so long was because I thought you were coming back. How stupid was that?" she turns leaving Alec holding the bundle. Looking down he unwraps the bundle revealing a three month old baby boy. With familiar hazel green eyes staring up at him he panics.
"We gotta find Max" he wraps the baby back up heading to Crash knowing she'll be there.
Crash
Max is sitting around a table with OC laughing at Sketchy who is doing his best impersonation of Normal.
'She looks relaxed, maybe she won't be too pissed' he thinks approaching cautiously.
"Hey baby boo you just missed this drunken fool do a great impersonation of Mr. Bip bip himself" she laughs but Alec is tense and speaks directly to Max.
"We need to talk" he says seriously, and Max is immediately alert following him away from the table but not before sending Cindy an 'I'll explain later' glance.
"What is it? I was actually relaxed and enjoying myself without having to deal with you screw ups" Max snaps. 'For once" she thinks.
"Look I didn't do anything" he snaps back to hide the fact that her words had hurt.
"Well" she waits impatiently and he pulls the bundle away from his body so she can see. Unwrapping it slightly Max looks into the hazel green eyes that piss her off almost every second of the day. "You didn't?" she looks back up at him.
"I…"
"You weren't that stupid" she cuts him off.
"If you're done" he says adjusting the bundle against his body. "He's not mine. I was doing a run for Normal, which remind me to tell you about that later, when this girl shoves him at me. Do the math Max he's three months. There is no way he could be mine."
"He looks just like you" she retorts then instantly realizes. 'He's Ben's'. "Lets get outta here" she grabs her jacket telling OC she'll see her later before she leaves with Alec.
