Smile For Me

I don't own anything but what I made up Happy Thanksgiving enjoy guys :)

The next morning while at home,Terry called Max to see how she was feeling. He thought about her all through out his patrol. His emotions were all over the place because of their kiss. He hoped everything would go okay. Terry was getting dressed because he was on his way to see Max. She didn't answer because Terry forgot that her cell was at home in her apartment. After He put on his black leather jacket, that Bruce gave him for his birthday last year and his cell started ringing.

Terry answered on the third ring without looking at the caller i.d. "yea"

It was Max " hi you busy"

"no I just tried to call you but forgot your phone was at home"

"McGinnis, you dreg"

"so how are you feeling, what did the doctor say"

"I'm doing alright she said she would release me if I stayed on bed rest for a day or so, you know to let my body recuperate"

"I agree, feel like some company"

" sure then do you feel like taking me home the food here bites"

"I'll do you one even better, how about I bring you some food say some takeout"

"yes, just what my body needs...grease"

"okay be there in ten"

"great"

"oh and Max, I missed you last night"

Hanging up Terry was pleased, he was on his way to see person he was so in love with and bringing her one of the things they loved together...food. Getting into his car Terry thought she was okay. He made a stop at a bar grill where they used to eat sometimes after school called Fish For Kicks. They made the most delicious salmon there and where very under rated. Terry and Max knew that and therefore took full advantage of it. It was here where Terry and Max brought friends from Hamilton Hill once and ate lunch together.

Flashback at Fish For Kicks

Terry and Max sat next to each other instead across. Chelsea and Howard, who somehow began dating once they realize they had more in common than they thought after a slight change in his clothing. Dana and Nelson, who began dating when Dana got tired of waiting for Terry to have time for her. Nelson came in and scooped her up. Terry's had his arm resting behind Max on the arm rest. Max rested her hand gently on Terry's leg when she reached across the table to grab the butter sauce for them. Laughing at a joke that Howard made, Max giggled as she leaned back against Terry's chest. Then looking back at him and making eye contact. He knew she was the one for him. Nelson saw and asked if they were together yet like they should be. And for the first time it pained Terry to hear Max say no.

The Present

Back At The Hospital

Max was in her room thinking while she waited for Terry to show up. Then she realized all she had to go home in were sweaty workout leggings and a t-shirt. She really didn't want to be in the car with Terry in sweaty workout clothes. Just cause she was bent on keeping her promise, still she was in love with him and cared about her appearance. She thought "oh well, I guess I'll just have to make due" Max put her clothes back in the draw next to her bed. Deciding to wait it out til it was actually time to leave to change. Max kept her hospital gown on. Not really sure how things would play out after the kiss. Max thought she would just wait and see what Terry does. But she still had to keep her promise. Just then Terry walked in and said "hey beautiful" Max looked up and saw Terry holding her favorite flowers, orchids. Terry walked up to Max and kissed her on the check and then handed them to her. Max eyes grew wide taking them as she said.

"Wow Ter orchids there beautiful, where did you"

"I thought they would make you smile, and judging from your face I can see I was right"

"they are amazing, but pink"

"I saw them and thought of your hair"

"I love em"

"okay now open this"

Terry handed Max a bag and inside was a fresh pair of gray legging and t-shirt with a hoodie jacket. Underneath was a small zip-lock bag. Max opened it and saw it was a pair of pink Victoria Secret underwear and sports bra.

"Terry, you stopped at my house, you really are a knight you know that"

"that's dark knight to you"

"but what's with all the pink"

"I like the way it looks on you, admit it you and I both know it's your favorite color"

"okay twip it is, now where's the food"

"at the very bottom your gonna love this surprise too"

Max pulled out the food, uncovering the to go lid and saw salmon. She knew it was from one place only.

"McGinnis, you went to Fish For Kicks"

"I sure did, we haven't gone there in a while so I thought it would be perfect with you being in here and all"

"schway, I could kiss you McGinnis"

"why don't you then"

Not realizing what she said until it was too late. Max wasn't sure if she should kiss Terry again. But when she looked up, he was already holding her face. Terry kissed Max and as he opened his mouth to taste her lips, suddenly there was a knock at the door. Max and Terry turned their heads and saw Max's doctor. Dr. Clare Clark walked in and said with a smile on her face. "well Max, sorry to interrupt but I see your feeling better" Max and Terry blushed as Max introduced Dr. Clark to Terry.

"and who is this handsome young man Maxine"

"Dr. Clark, this is my best friend Terry McGinnis"

shaking Terry's hand she replied "yes, your Bruce Wayne son I know it's a pleasure to finally meet you I've had the honer of treating your father a few times amazing man, stubborn at times but amazing"

"yeah that's him"

"I just wanted to inform you that I have completed your discharge papers and you can go home, but you must be on bed rest for at least three days. I want you to take it easy on those leg muscles, you have over worked them and they are sore and going to be quite tender for a few days"

"okay I promise"

"and lots of fluids, Terry you make sure of that"

"no problem doctor"

"alright I will leave you to dress, I'll be back in a few moments"

Doctor Clark leaves and Max packs her food away. Then says to Terry "I will eat this when I get home,can you help me get dressed"

Terry says "okay" and helps Max dress, turning his head when she had to put on her undergarments. Doctor Clark returns with a wheelchair and discharge papers. Max signs them and Terry picks her up and places her body in the wheelchair. Doctor Clark escorts Terry and Max to Terry's car. Terry picks Max up and places her in his car as she says goodbye to Doctor Clark. Terry gets in and begins to drive away to Max's.

In an alley across the street from the hospital

Meanwhile still on close watch of Terry and Max, Willy Watt was having a tough time connecting Terry as Batman. After seeing him pick up Max, he knew that there was no way he could get to her right now. Now there seem to be a bigger problem at hand than Batman. Willy thought that Max looked great for someone who was just released from the hospital. Catching a quick glace at her face she looked more radiant than the last time he saw her crying in her hospital bed. This was an unexpected problem that he found himself pining away for Max. He thought to himself "I can't catch feelings for her that would screw up everything" But still he couldn't control what he was beginning to feel for Max.

At Max's

When they arrived at Max's, Terry picked her up and carried her up to her apartment. Against her will on the way up in the elevator Max insisted that she walk. But Terry ignored her and held her in his arms until he laid her on her bed in her room. Once inside Terry took off her sneakers and turned on her iPod station like she asked. Max's at home play list began to play Drake-Find your love. Max and Terry's favorite song. As Max begins to eat her salmon Terry takes off his sneakers and jacket. Terry sits on the bed with Max and ask.

"so hows the salmon, just like we remembered"

"even better, here open up"

Max puts a spoonful in Terry's mouth as he chews he nods his head.

"see good right"

Terry says in sync with the song "hey, hey, hey"

Max laughs and says "told ya, hey, hey, hey"

Then they begin to sing the song together.

"I better find your lovin, I better find your heart, I better find your lovin, I better find your heart, I better find your lovin, I better find your heart. I better find, give all my love and nothin's gonna tear us apart"

Terry and Max were looking in to each others eyes as they sung the lyrics to the song. Their favorite song, that they have sung together over a thousand times. This time it felt different because things were a little different now. They each knew that the other wanted more than friendship. Not knowing what the other was thinking and only what they felt. Something else was gonna happen they both could feel it. Terry grabbed the plate of food and put it on Max's night stand. Still looking in her mocha eyes the song changed to Alicia Keys-Unthinkable (I'm Ready).

Max grabbed Terry by the neck gently and pulled him closer to her. Feeling weaker by hearing the words of the song, she wasn't sure what she would do next. There where no words to say she was silent by her emotions. Could she give into him and just feel without fear. There was only one way to know. She would have to wait and see if her body would respond from what her heart was saying.

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I am writing the next on as we speak. Get ready cause it's juicy lol.
