Chapter 7- Normal Solution
The Morning After
Max wake up the next morning confused. She looked around her and for a minute could not figure out where she was. She started to think the Red had picked her up during the night until she felt the arm that was wrapped around her waist. She turned her head and found Logan lying next to her, and then everything that happened the day before came back to her. She had found Logan sitting outside the warehouse, getting to see Jondy, Krit and Syl, but most of all she remembered the wonderful night that Logan and her and shared.
Logan could feel Max's eyes on him even before he was completely awake. He was not ready to start another day, not ready to face whatever the world would throw at them next. They had finally found the cure to the virus and then found each other again; he didn't even want to know what would be next.
Over the two years that they knew each other something always came up when ever they would start getting close. It was starting to feel like the whole world was against them but now they had been able to over come some big blocks to be together. There had been Zack, death, Manticore, the virus, the Reds, and Whites evil breeding cult. He could not even start to believe that they done with that but at least they were together.
When he first fell in love with Max, the first time he saw her breaking in to his apartment, he knew there was something different about her. There was just this voice in the back of his mind that told him that having her in his was going to change his life. He just never would have thought that he would have to deal with everything that he had, not that he had had an easy life anyways. When he started Eyes Only he had told himself that he was crazy for welcoming all the trouble that he knew would come with the job, but he knew that if he didn't then more and more people would die and he could not live with that.
Finally opening his eyes Logan looked up into Max's beautiful hazel eyes. Over the past year looking in those eyes was the only way that he was able to keep going. He could read her like an open book when he was able to look into those eyes. When she had told him that Alec and she were together he was so hurt, but because there was someone else but because she would not look in his eyes for months. He was not able to read what she really feeling. Then one day without meaning to she looking at him, their eyes met, and the minute that that happened Logan knew that Alec and her had never been together and that Max was just trying to protect him. That had made him love her all the more. Now lying in bed with her after a night of love making, all he saw in her eyes was love.
"Good morning Beautiful!" Logan leans in for a kiss.
"Good morning to you too" Max pulled him in to a long passion full kiss.
"We should get out of bed at some point today. I am sure that your family will want to spend some time with you before we head back to Seattle." Logan said not really ready to move yet.
"They can wait a little longer. Plus like Jondy said we knew where each other are now we can get together more often." Max didn't want to face the rest of the world yet. They didn't have much luck when it came to the rest of the world; it was always trying to keep them apart.
"Okay, you win. We will stay here a little longer." Logan smiled against her lips.
"Logan?" Max was not sure how she wanted to ask about the dream that she had and she was pretty sure that they had shared it but she wanted to know.
"Yes, my love."
"The other night did you have a dream where we were back in your apartment in Seattle together?" Watching his face Max tried to see if he would react, but he keep his face void of emotions so she keep going. "We shared a candlelit dinner, watched a movie together, and…"
"We ended up in my bed?" Logan smiled; he knew that that dream had been more than a normal dream.
"Yeah!" Max was happy but also nervous. In the dream they had told each other about the love they both felt, she was worried that she had just made that part up.
"Yes, I had to same dream. I think we shared a dream again. When I woke up in the morning that dream was what gave me the strengthen to go back to the warehouse that day." Logan pulled Max tight in to his body.
"In that dream you said something….." she wanted to know if it was true but didn't know how to ask.
"That I love you." Logan knew she was worried that she had made that part up because he felt the same way. "Max I meant every word of it. I love you. I have loved you since that day you broke into my apartment."
"I love you too Logan. It took me a while to figure that out, but I now know that I love you with all my heart." They kissed not being able to stay apart anymore. "When I wake up from my 'healing' coma and got that page from Asha I was so worried that I would loss you and never be able to tell you."
Logan reached up and wiped the tears that had started to fall from his eyes. He was so happy to finally be able to hold Max in his arms and tell her how he felt. Looking at Max he could see the tears that were starting to fall from her eyes. The past year had been hell for both of them. He knew he never wanted to live without Max in his life again.
They laid in bed for the rest of the day, only leaving it to find something to eat but then back to bed. Their bodies had been a part for to long. They were not ready to be apart for more than a few seconds at a time.
ooOoo
Alec and Asha spend the rest of the night hanging out with Jondy, Krit, and Syl. They hopped from bar to bar, just having fun. When all the bars in the city closed they headed back to the apartment that they had been staying at. Alec and Asha slept in their normal bed, Krit and Syl ended up in Logan's bed while Jondy took the couch, since she didn't sleep anyways.
The next day they came up with a plan about how they would keep an eye on the warehouse but still be able to get back to their normal lives. With the cameras all set up they could all go back to their homes and just take turns watching the cameras. Figuring that Max and Logan would be busy 'getting to know each other' again for the next month or so, they left them out of the plan. Knowing Logan, Asha knew that he would still be watching the camera feeds but she didn't want him to feel like he had too.
There was still not sign of any activity around the warehouse, but there was no saying when the Red's would show up. With their plan in place everyone started to make plans to head home. Jondy decided that since she still had two months off from her job in Portland she would take the rest of the time to getting to know Max again. She had missed her so much and wanted to spend sometime with her while she could.
ooOoo
Max and Logan knew that they were going to have join the rest of the world again, but they were just not ready yet. Jondy had told them to give her a call when it was safe to come back, so they didn't have to worry about anyone walking in on them. Still Max was not sure the next time she would be able to see her family so she asked Logan if it was ok if they could call Jondy. They had spent two full days together, talking, sharing meals, and making love. She didn't want it to stop but she had not seen Jondy in over 10 years and plus she planned on spending lots of time with Logan from now on.
After a quick shower Max called Jondy to let her know it was safe to come home. Logan started to get his few things together; after Jondy figured out who he was he had gone to the store to buy a few things so he didn't have to wear the same clothies everyday. They were planning on heading to Seattle the next day, so Logan wanted to have everything ready so they wouldn't waist time packing.
Jondy came home and told them about the plan of watching the warehouse through the live video feed that Logan had set up. Logan told her about their plan to head back to Seattle and asked her if she would want to join them. When she told them that if it was alright with them she was planning on spending the next two months in Seattle so she could get to know her lil' sis again, Max jumped up and hugged Jondy so tight that Logan was afraid that Jondy would not be able to breath.
To thank everyone for all their help Logan decided that he would cook one of his famous meals. There was so much food that each person was able to take some with them for their trips home. It was a prefect night full of laughter and stories of the past. No one knew what the future held for this small family but they knew one thing; they had each other from now on. They were not going to live with out being a part of each others lives again. They had already started planning a family reunion for all the X5's to get together.
