Max and OC Flat
The sky was a miserable murky grey as the sun rose over Seattle, and for the third time in a week Max found herself starting the day by being sick into the toilet in her and OC's flat.
"Boo, I think you seriously need to see a doctor." OC said desperately, as she feld back Max's hair. "You told me that Transgenics don't get sick, and this is the third time this week. There could be something seriously wrong."
Max fall back after she had finished being sick and told OC in a shaky voice "I think I know what it is but I'm hoping I'm wrong. I'll swing by Doctor Carr's office later today and find out."
Later the same day
Doctor Carr's office
It was lunch time by the time Max was able to get over to Doctor Carr's office, and had had a hard time focusing all day as she was dreading this appointment. Max walked up to the basement office and was suddenly reminded why she hated and fear hospitals so much. Forcing herself not to turn back and run Max approached the office, reminding herself over and over that OC was right she needed to know for sure what was wrong with her. When she arrived at the office it was to find the door open and Doctor Carr behind his desk working. Max knocked lightly on the glass of the door but it was still enough to startle Doctor Carr who jumped in his seat.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Max told the Doctor gently.
"No it's fine; I just wasn't expecting anyone that's all." Doctor replied embarrassedly shuffling around some papers, and then asked curiously. "What can I do for you Max?"
"I need you to run a blood test Doc." Max told him, the discomfort clear in her voice and manner, particularly as she added "I think I might be pregnant."
An hour later
"Well the blood work came back, and you were right Max. You are defiantly pregnant." Doctor Carr told her handing her the test results.
Two thoughts passed through Max's mind as she stared down at the piece of paper that clearly stated that she was pregnant. The first and most fleeting of these was how she was going to tell Logan. The second and the one that lingered was how after 3 months of avoiding and being mean to him was she to tell Alec that she was pregnant with his child and would he even want the baby.
