Chapter 1: Moving on
………………………
Max and Alec's apartment
Alec was the first one to wake up from the sound of their son crying. He looked over at his beautiful raven haired girlfriend and saw her sleeping like a baby. Max never got a lot of sleep so when she did sleep it was very, very difficult to wake her up. Rarely would she wake up to the sound of the crying baby, but usually it was Alec.
Which is okay since Max is the one that stays up with the baby most of the time. When she isn't sleeping she is usually up all night in the baby's room. Ever since they got the baby back from father Destery and Sketchy she has been way over protective of him and Alec really couldn't blame her.
Alec rolled out of bed in only a pair of boxers and walked out of the bedroom. When Max and Alec got back to Seattle after the whole ordeal with Ben they decided to by another apartment, this way Lydecker, White and all their other enemies that the gathered throughout the year couldn't find them. It was a nicer apartment this time, Alec had been saving up money ever since he moved to Seattle so they were able to afford an apartment in the same building that Logan was once in.
It wasn't the Pent House apartment that Logan had, at first they were going to live there but they both decided that it would be too many bad memories. So they decided on the apartment right below the Pent House. It was a nice size apartment too, they had three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a massive size kitchen, which if they ever learned to cook they could use. The third bedroom is usually occupied by OC or someone from Jam Pony so that bedroom doesn't go to waste.
Alec walked into the baby's room, which had blue walls and a trimming of teddy bears going across the ceiling. OC help them decorate the room so it didn't look so pale. They wanted their son to have a different childhood experience then they had when they were young. Alec went over to the crib and looked down at his son. They little creation that signified everything that he had worked for over the years.
Max's trust and love, finding someone that he was willing to sacrifice himself for. He had never had anyone to come home too and now he does and it is the best felling in the world. Long ago he had broken the trust of the only person that he could ever love and he had worked and worked to gain that trust again. Once he did receive it he never let it slip from his grasp again.
"Hey there little guy," he said as he reached down and picked up his son. He rubbed the back of his neck, because Max and Alec were both transgenics their son is one too, so his barcode is coming in and that's why he hasn't been sleeping well. They had both hoped that he would be normal, that he would be able to walk around during the day without having to worry about covering his barcode so he couldn't get shot…they had bee let down, but they loved him anyways.
As Alec was rubbing his barcode Ben slowly but surely started to stop crying. Ben looked up at Alec and Alec could see Ben's brown eyes slowly turning to hazel. He and Max have an ongoing bet on what color eyes he was going to get…looks like he wins. Ben had his father's eyes and his mother's skin color. He was a spitting image of both of them and Alec couldn't wait to show him to the world.
Alec noticed that Ben had fallen back asleep so he placed his son back in the crib and walked back to his bedroom. As he was walking to his bedroom he looked outside and noticed that it had started snowing. "Christmas is almost here," he said to himself as he walked over to the window and watched as the snow fell. As he was standing there he felt a pair of arms snake around his waist and he looked over his shoulder and saw Max standing there. "Isn't it beautiful?" he asked.
"It sure is," she said as she kissed his shoulder blade. She looked out the window as the snow fell and she realized that this is their first Christmas where they don't have to worry about someone coming after them, that they know of. They hadn't heard anything on White or Lydecker in the past few months so as far as they were considered they were dead never to be heard from again. Max kissed his shoulder again, "come back to bed."
Max and Alec's old apartment
They door burst open and in walked several men with riffles and hand guns. They started searching room after room breaking everything in sight. They were looking for something or someone and it was obvious. The next guy to walk through the door was wearing all black and he looked around as his men worked.
One of his men came up to him and took off his goggles. "No ones here," he said as he looked around at the wreckage. "They're gone."
They guy reached out his hand and grabbed his guy by the neck. "Do EVERYTHING in your power to find them…or it will be your life instead of theirs." He paused. "You have a week," he said and then he turned and walked away.
