AN: Thanks for all the reviews! You guys are so totally awesome! When I started this story I never thought it'd go on for so long and I'd get so many reviews. So thanks a bunch! Virtual cookies for all! They're chocolate chip! Sorry for the delay. I was supposed to post this on Friday but then after saying that, I realized that I didn't know what I was going to write. Lol. Also, I've been really busy this weekend. I tried to reply to everyone's review but if I didn't get chance to reply to yours, I'm sorry. Also, after having so many stories to write, i have finally completed them all, except this one, which means there will be more time to write this fic, so quicker posts. Yay!

Chapter 21: Surprise.

"I'm so sorry Alec" Max whispered sadly placing her head on his chest, being wary of all the wires and tubes. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault".

Max grasped the toilet for the 5th time that day, until she was reduced to dry heaves.

'What's wrong with me?' Max thought. 'I've never been this sick before'.

"Boo! You ok?!" She heard OC's voice call out.

"Yeah! Don't worry boo!" Max yelled back but then quickly grasped the toilet again, making OC come into the bathroom.

"Boo. maybe you should go see a doctor" OC suggested, concern shown on her face.

"I can't" Max said, shaking her head. "I've gotta go and see Alec".

"Boo. Alec would not want you to get sick" OC tried to reason. "He'll still be there when your done".

"Your right" Max replied, grabbing her handbag.

"Uh Max" OC said and gestured to Max's clothes. "You might want to change.

Max looked down and blushed when she noticed that she was still in her night wear. "Yeah" She said. "I'll go get change" and OC laughed as she walked off.

"Well Max. Your results are back". Dr Shauffer said as he walked into the room. "But don't worry. It's good news".

"What do you mean?" Max asked.

"Max. You're pregnant" Dr Shauffer said, smiling.

"What!" Max yelled.

'This can't be happening' Max thought. 'I mean. Alec's in hospital and they don't know when he's gonna wake up and...and I'm gonna have a baby!'

"I know this might be hard for you..." Dr Shauffer began but stopped when he saw Max's smile. "Are you alright".

"Of course!" Max yelled. "I'm going to have a baby!" Max smiled and skipped out of the office, yelling behind her. "Thanks doc!"

Max skipped all the way back to the apartment. She was supposed to see Alec first, but she had to tell OC.

This was such good news!

"OC!" Max sung as she entered the apartment. "OC!"

"Maxie! What's going on!" OC said as she entered the living room in which Max was in.

"I feel sooooo happy!" Max sung loudly.

"Boo! What you trippin'?" OC asked, very confused.

"I've got great, great, great news" Max bounded up and down and OC wondered what could have happened.

"Boo! Just tell me what's up!" OC said, she was now feeling very anxious as to what Max had to say.

"I'm gonna have a baby!" Max yelled.

OC grabbed Max's hands. "Seriously!" And at Max's nod, OC began jumping round the room along with her best friend.

Max smiled as she walked into the hospital.

Her and Alec were going to have a baby!

But as she came to Alec's room, the smile faded.

The room was empty.

Again.

But this time, she knew that Alec wouldn't be waiting for her at home.

"Alec?" Max whispered. "Alec?"

Then a voice called out to her. "Max?"

Max whirrled around. "Alec?"

Sam smiled sadly. "Sorry max"

"Sam? Where's Alec?" Max asked; panic in her voice.

Sam sighed. "In surgery".

Max's breath constricted and the bile rose up her throat. "Wh..what's...what's wrong?"

"The intercranial pressure got too high. We've had to take him into emergency surgery" Sam explained.

Tears ran down Max's cheeks. "But...he'll be ok...right?

"There's no guarrantee Max. But if we hadn't have done anything...we would have lost him already. It's his only chance Max. We're trying our best, but it's up to Alec to fight". Sam said putting a comforting hand on Max's shoulder.

"Thanks Sam" Max whispered and Sam nodded before walking away.

"Alec" Max whispered as she sat in the waiting room. "You gotta pull through" Max touched her stomach lightly. "For both of us".

"Alright. I'm almost finished" Dr Michaels said, in the OR.

A loud noise erupted throught the room.

"Damnit! He's flat lining!" One of the nurses shouted.

"Charge the paddles" Dr Michaels yelled. "150!"

"Charging!" A nurse yelled.

"Clear" Dr Michaels yelled as he placed the paddles on Alec's chest.

Alec's body jolted upward as Dr Michaels thought. 'Come on. Don't give up now'.

But the noise continued.

Sorry! Evil mood again! Hehe. Please review, i really want to know what you thought of it. Hope you liked it!

Also, as I said, updates will be more frequent now because this is my only ongoing story now. Yay! Hopefully, the next chapter will be up tommorow. I'll try not to keep you in suspense.
