The next morning Max woke up but didn't open her eyes, she could tell she was laying on her back with an arm bent under the pillow that both she and Alec were sharing. He was on his side, propped up on an elbow watching her and he had his other hand resting on Maxs stomach and began to draw small circles on her swollen stomach only noticeable if she is wearing short t-shirts showing her stomach. Alec smiled knowing Max would wake up because she was sensitive on her stomach and he softly and quietly whispered a song.
"The search for strength to carry on,
My every hope had seemed to die,
My eyes had no more tears to cry,
and like the sunshine up above,
your surrpunded me with your endless love,
and all the things i couldn't see are so clear to me"
"You are my everything,
nothing your love can't bring,
my life is your alone,
your spirit pulls me through,
when nothing else will do,
everynight i pray that you will always be,
my everything,
If anything ever happens to me,
I hope you'll always know,
Your my everything"
Alec finished when Max smiled, opened her eyes and placed a hand on his.
"That tickles" Max smiled at him
"Morning my two babies" he returned the smile.
"morning" she relied pulling him down to gently kiss him on the lips.
"Did you sleep well?" Alec asked as Max rested her head on his chest and cuddled up to him.
"Yeah best nights sleep in ages" Max replied.
"I thought so, you sored like a pig" he teased
"I don't snore" Max protested as she playfully nipped him on the arm.
"No you don't, you slept like an angel" he told her.
"That's cause i am an angel" she pointed out and Alec chuckled.
"What time is it?"she asked.
"7 oclock" Alec answered,
"What? We don't have to get ready till like another hour for work"Max moaned
"Yeah well the baby was up and i thought i would sing him back to sleep and you because i know you were awake" Alec informed her.
"You should sing more often you really good" Max complimented him.
"Anything for you" he replied.
"and i will be" Max said Alec looked at her confused
"The song you sang you said 'i pray that you'll always be my everything' and i am" Max added.
"That depends" Alec replied trying to hide a smile that was tugging at his lips
"On what?" Max smiled looking up at him.
"What i am to you?" he replied
"My everything and more" Max told him
"I thought so" he smiled
"So your okay with us having the baby?" Max checked
" Of course i am, Maxie" Alec answered.
"good" Max stated and let out a sigh.
"What's wrong?" Alec asked as he sensed she was worried about something.
"It's just...what if Manticore find out and they take him away from us" Max answered.
"I won't let that happen" he told her
"That's what Tinga said and it got her killed, Lydecker got her kid Chase" Max remembered what happened to her big sister.
"I promise i won't let that happen to our baby" Alec reassured her.
"Me too, we'll protect him" Max replied
"Who says its a him?" Alec questioned
"Me...anyway i know you want a son" Max told him smiling
"I do" Alec returned the smile.
