A/N: Thanks to Jeanette to have completed The Cabin Chapter, as I was drained of all my imagination!

Chapter 6: The cabin - Part 2

All the fires that raving in them was finally extinguished for the time being. As they both lay in the bed together contended from their wonderful lovemaking they were happy in each other arms.

Suddenly, Logan's mind was released from the fog that he had been in for hours. Looking at Max in horror, remembering that she was recovering from three potentially fatal shots to the chest. "Max are you alright! You're not hurting, anywhere? I was very rough on you. You and your body have been driving me crazy for so long. Having you near and yet so far away. I I just had to have you. Without thinking, I could have re-injured your wounds. Oh God. I'm so sorry." He suddenly crumpled to the bed beside Max with his head in his hands. He suddenly felt like crying at the thought of losing her to death again. For his body's betrayal, he hopefully wouldn't be the one to come to her demise. He just couldn't think of that! Finally, at that thought he broke down and cried uncontrollably. He could only hold her with the image of that terrible night four months ago.

"Logan. Logan, I'm alright. Please don't cry. I love you. I lost it too. I was the one that attacked you first. Please ... please don't do that to yourself.

Logan just hugged her tighter trying to control his tears. "I love you so much, Max! I would die if something were to happen to you again for sure. I wouldn't have revenge to keep me alive. Max you can't imagine how much agony I went through those three months. I couldn't or did not want to do anything. All I had on my mind was Manticore and they had taken you away from me." His angrier was showing with his tears.

"It's alright Logan. I'm here and I'm alright." Max tried to console him. But the tears kept on rolling out of his beautiful green eyes.

For every tear he shed, he was thinking about the past without Max. "Max. Max." He just couldn't put into words the thoughts he was thinking. He just had to hold her tight not letting go for anything. "Are you for sure mine? Max, I've just got to know. I've never felt this way about anyone else before. You are my air; moon, my... my life, Max."

She finally could feel the agony he had been through and desperately tried to reaffirm her love. With tears herself saying, "Yes, darling. I'm yours as long as you want me. Yes. Yes." Is all she could say. Holding each other with a new meaning to the word 'Love' on their minds.

For a long while, tears ran from their eyes. Finally quite late they half way composed themselves enough to release their grip on each other. Looking at those deep brown eyes of Max's Logan hoarsely whispered, "Are you for sure alright?" He had slightly released his grip long enough to run his fingertips along her arms. His eyes were begging for an answer.

With a soft voice, Max said affirming, Yes, Logan. I'm alright." Hugging him to satisfy her answer, she smiled at him.

He smiled back as if to say, "Good" and then kissed her. A few more minutes sitting there comfortable in each other's arms released all the emotional baggage they had stored up they sighed deeply. With this release, they felt a new page in their lives had just begun.

With a renewed joy Max said, "I'm hungry".

Logan looked at those eyes of hers denying her nothing softly laughed saying, "Okay, my angel. It's four in the morning so what do you want to eat?" He too felt a sense of relief. Standing, he pulled Max with him. Smiling to one another, they ventured into the kitchen hugging each other as they slowly walked around looking for something to eat.

After a few days, Max got antsy worrying about Zack. She needed to find out if her big brother had made it back to Terminal City with his package so to speak. Max asked to used Logan cell. Dialing the number to TC Joshua's voice was on the line. "Hey big fella. Is Zack there?" Max quietly listened to the carrying on the line.

Zack quite out of breath said, "Hello".

Max thinking it was strange Zack being out of breath saying, Hey, big brother. What are you breathing so hard for? Jenny's taking it out of you?" Max said laughing. He threw the phone at Zack.

"Very funny. So funny I forgot to laugh." Zack feeling aggravation coming on.

"Ah, come on Zack cool your jets. How is Jenny working out there?" Max saying trying to calm her big brother's male ego down.

"Just great." Trying to change the subject Zack took a stab at Max's boyfriend and asked, "How is Mr. Macho doing?"

Max's eyes grew wide at that comment and said, "Oh, um... just great, Zack. I'm fine too. Thanks for asking." Max said with a snicker.

"Yeah yeah. Okay, little sis you didn't call to shoot the bull, what are you calling for?" Zack was now serious.

"Well. You all of sudden serious; did Jenny come in?" Max asked soberly now.

Looking around Zack said, "No, Jenny's not here."

"Boy!! Jenny, the one girl that finally caught my big brother in her net. I can't believe it. Max said laughing her head off.

Zack said in an angry tone, "Funny Max. What do you want?"

Max suddenly bored said, "To see if you had made it back and to speak to the doctor".

Sudden worry crept into Zack's voice, "Why? What's wrong, Max?"

"Geez. Nothing. Is wrong, Zack. Can you go get Dr. Verizon?" Max now angry that everybody thought something was wrong just because she wanted to talk to the doctor.

"Okay! Okay. She's right here! Don't bite my head off!" Zack said angrily. Zack shoved the phone at Dr. Verizon in his anger.

"Oh, uh...what!" Dr. Verizon said to Zack. Sounding confused with the receiver shoved her way said, "Hello?"

Max had heard the commotion and finally smiled at the voice on the other end saying, "Hi doc. This is Max. I just thought I'd call to let you know I'm fine, recovering nicely."

"Oh. That's good, Max." The doctor suddenly knew what all the anger was about and smiled, "Oh, great. Well, how is... everyone or everything??" She couldn't come right out and ask what was happening between her and Logan. Therefore, she had to go around the bush so to speak. "Is Logan doing alright, taking care of you?"

"Yeah." Brimming at that she also said, Yeah, my nurse and my chef is taking real good care of me."

"Great!" The doctor was all smiles at that news. They talked for a few more minutes then they hung up. Max turned and there was Logan smiling at the conversation he had just heard.

"What? Does my nurse want to check my wounds?" She asked seductively

"Is my patient feeling the itch?" Logan responded just as seductively in return.

Crawling sedately like a cat down the couch, she said purring in her voice, "You want to scratch my itch? PURRR."

"Oh, yeah!" Logan smiling admitted with starry green eyes picking up his she-cat in his arms and carrying her to the bedroom.

As the days wound into weeks the two lovers took walks, made love, and mostly got to really know each other during this time. With her nurse taking such good care, she had completely healed and was strong once again.

The sighed both thinking what the future would be, but not daring to voice now. They didn't speak of that till close to the end of the month.
