It's been seven years since Max's first year at BlackWell Academy. There, she met the most amazing people you could imagine. Dana Ward, Kate Marsh, Juliet Watson, Alyssa Anderson and of course, the all-incredible Warren Graham. And it's where she reconnected with her old childhood friend, Chloe Price. Finding a way to save both Chloe and Arcadia Bay, Max continues to live her life happily with her husband Warren in their own home, of course visiting Chloe from time - to - time too.

Now, as a twenty five year old, she and Warren are living successful careers as a photographer and a school scientist teacher.

And she loved it.

"Hey Max, I was thinking."

"Oh no, it's never good when you have thoughts."

"No! No, its like, something- well, maybe, I- uh" Warren struggled to get the words out. He didn't know how to sound smart in conversation like this, and he was nervous as hell. Max might not like the idea and find it idiotic or stupid. He'd be so embarrassed.

"Yeah, Warren…? Is it something serious?" curiosity peaked in her voice. She looked up from his book and closed it. While over here, Warren was at a loss. He would need more time to ask the question. Y'know, research it first.

"You know, I'll just ask you later." Max looked at him with interest, but decided not to push it further and continued reading her book, reopening it. And Warren decided to pay a visit to Chloe. It might help if he went there for an opinion on the matter first.

Not bothering to call first, he immediately went to where Chloe and Rachel lived. They had bought a home together and Chloe was planning to propose to Rachel soon. Honestly, maybe asking her for an opinion on something just as serious might put a little more stress on her end. But, yet, it was his situation so he bet she wouldn't dwell on it long. Getting out of his car which he bought seven years ago (luckily he had some money to repair it), he strode up to the doorstep, hesitating before knocking one, two, three times. Soon after, the door opened, and out stepped Rachel in nothing but short-shorts and a baggy T-Shirt. Clearly she hadn't changed since she got up and- did he smell pizza? Wow.

"Hey, I was wondering if I could talk to Chloe?" in his mind he scolded himself for sounding so shy, despite knowing Chloe for years before.

"Oh? Okay, I'll call her over." she sang the 'Oh' bit.

"Chloe~" she chimed with her lovely singing voice.

A sudden "Yuurp?" was heard from upstairs.

Rachel looked back to Warren before saying, "Yo! Max's bitch is here!" His face turned a little red after that remark.

"Hey I'm not-"

Chloe interrupted him before he could have a chance to say otherwise. "'Sup, Ape" yet, another nickname. Also, had they been calling him, 'Max's bitch' behind his back this whole time? Huh. He wonders if Max knows about this. Anyway, not the time.

"Can I come in? I'm stressing over something I want to ask Max." Chloe and Rachel glanced at each other, then agreed, clearing the path to their living room. Which was surprisingly clean knowing Chloe.

"Okay. Spill." ah, yes, Rachel cuts to the chase almost immediately.

"So, um, since Max and I have been married for about five years I- uh…" he drifted off, not even knowing how to start such a serious conversation.

"Dude, just tell us! Dying to know whats got you so worked up."

"I wanted to know if you'd know any way i could ask Max if- fuck," why was this so hard? "If there was anyway to… ask her… if we could have a baby."

Rachel and Chloe looked a small bit shocked. The three of them sat in awkward silence for thirty seconds before Chloe spoke up about the topic, giving her opinion.

"Well, just say it i think. She's mentioned a couple of times to me what It'd be like to have a baby."

Warren looked up. Perhaps asking would be a little easier.

"What about you, Rachel?"

"I agree with Chloe, i mean, if she's talked about babies then she might agree. Just go for it man. Anyway, we got a movie marathon to catch!" suddenly seeming very happy, Rachel stood up and clapped her hands a bit. Warren excused himself from their house and decided to pop the question.

Warren, where did you go?

Making joyce's salmon surprise for dinner! \(^-^)/

Be home soon 3

God, he loved that girl. He was the happiest man on earth when she said yes to his question: Will you marry me?

And now, lets see if she'll answer with a 'yes' again. He'd be ecstatic, maybe not as much as last time but certainly he would be bouncing off the walls.

Opening the door, he was greeted with a smiling Max in the kitchen. "Hey my love~" she sang. He thought her voice was the most perfect, most beautiful voice in the world. Nothing could top it.

"Aw, Max, you didn't have to"

"But I wanted to! Joyce taught me to make it about a month ago, and I decided, why not make it now? So here I am!" she looked so happy, and depending on how she reacted, he could bring that smile down to the floor.

"Uh Max, after dinner, can I ask a serious question?" he said with a little hesitance.
"Of course, Warren, in fact I also have something pretty big to share…" trailing off, she went back to preparing dinner.

With Warren helping of course, he always felt bad for not doing anything. Even though Max said she didn't mind if he didn't help. But he insisted everytime. So he helped everytime.

Dinner was incredible, as predicted, but Warren was sweating bullets. Max also seemed a little tense, but finally, she asked, "So Warren, what did you want to ask me?"

Warren let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. "Ah, yeah um. I think we should sit down for this, Max." she stopped picking up plates and paused. "T-that serious?" she seemed very nervous too. "Yeah, I guess you should also sit for what I'm going to say." After sitting for a while on their grey couch, and planted both their feet in their nice and plush blue carpet trying to soothe both of their anxieties, Warren spoke up first.

"I-I'll go first." he swallowed the saliva in his mouth that was gathering, but his throat was still surprisingly dry despite swallowing every 5 seconds.

"I'm just going to say it." he took a breath. "Okay, Max, I was wondering if… you'd like to have a baby…?" he winced, hiding his furiously blushing face from Max.

She stayed silent, and much to his surprise she took both of his hands. The one covering his face first, then the one in his lap that refused to unclench.

"That's kinda what I was going to say, so I'll just say it. I'm pregnant." she finally said with a small smile.

Warren's face lit up as she said those words.

"Oh come here you big goof!" he said, his eyes prickling with tears. He hugged her. It was the second happiest day of his life.
