A/N: THANX FOR ALL THE PPL WHO READ AND REVIEWED AND CRITICIZED. I DON'T
WANT TO MAKE IT TOO SAPPY. HOPE I DON'T DISAPPOINT ANYONE.
Max walked in the house and immediately knew that something was up. OC was pacing back and forth and Joshua was wringing his hands nervously.
"What's going on?" Max asked and OC jumped startled.
"We have to go, boo," She said hastily. "Alec is waiting for us." OC said grabbing her and walking out the door with Joshua in tow, humming nervously but happily.
"I'm not getting in the car unless you tell me what the hell is going on." Max declared defiantly. OC looked like she was running out of patience.
"No, you are getting in the car. Alec needs us." She insisted pushing Max inside.
"I can get there faster on my Ninja." Max said, getting a little nervous like the rest of them.
"No, we're taking the car." OC said. Joshua was already in the back, looking nervous as well. "I'm in no condition to drive. I'm too nervous." She said.
Max relented and drove the car. She wanted to know what the hell was up but OC wouldn't say anything. She was just tapping nervously which was now beginning to irritate Max. She could also see that Joshua was grinning wider the more they got nearer to Alec's apartment. OC practically leapt out of the car before it fully stopped.
"Hurry!" She kept insisting. They hadn't taken the elevator because OC thought that it was too slow. Instead they took the stairs and she practically tried to skip three steps just to get to Alec's floor faster. "Why the hell does he pick a room so far up?" She mumbled. They finally reached Alec's door and OC just pushed open the door and shoved Max inside. "Go find Alec." She ordered. She and Joshua were just standing by the doorway, looking nervous.
Max frowned at them. This was yet the strangest day of her life. She did what OC told her and went to look for Alec. As she neared the rooms, she could hear a faint humming and music in the background. Alec was humming?
Max pushed open the door and froze. In front of her was Alec, holding a sleeping baby in his arms. Behind him was a crib. This was a nursery. It was painted blue with Whinnie the Pooh wallpaper borders all over. There was a changing table and a dresser. On the far corner was a rocking chair and some toys that hadn't been opened yet. There were boxes of presents too. Alec had pulled a lot of strings to get all these.
"Hey, Maxie." He whispered, not wanting to wake the baby.
Max's eyes started to tear up. "Who is he?" She choked. A million thoughts crossed her mind. What was happening? Why was Alec doing this?
"Don't you know?" Alec asked. He faced her fully so that she could see the baby. He was so beautiful. His dark hair was starting to wave up.
She looked surprised and unsure. "Are you sure? Alec?" She asked. Alec nodded.
"Doctor Carr checked for us." He answered.
"Oh, god." She said bringing her hand up to cover her mouth. She started to cry softly. Alec was holding her baby. Their baby. He was alive and she had almost given up. "He's so beautiful." She whispered touching the baby's hair. That's all Max wanted to do. Touch him. She would have given everything up for this moment. She would have given herself back to Manticore again just to hold her baby.
"You want to hold him?" Alec asked and Max nodded softly. The baby stirred a little when Alec handed him over to her. "See, he knows you." He whispered.
Max couldn't say anything. She was just crying. Crying because they had taken so much from her and Alec and their son. Because she had lost the first moments of his life with him.
"How did you find you find him?" She asked. She wanted to know everything.
"Actually, he found us." He replied. He knew more than he was saying but Alec promised himself that he would tell her everything. He suspected that it was Brin that left him there. He'd find her and thank her later. And maybe apologize.
Max looked up at Alec. He was so happy just as she was. They really couldn't ask for more. They had gone through so much. They had been put through the greatest test and they had survived it. Manticore had stolen a piece of their lives from them. It had taken away their childhood, the people that they cared about and it had tried to destroy them as well. But Max and Alec would always fight back. They had to.
They would always fight back because they loved each other and because they had one more person in the family, their son. They would protect him, whatever it took. They would love him and keep him safe.
Like Tinga, Max would give herself up to keep her son safe. Like Zack, Alec would give up being normal to protect his family.
Manticore or not they were made strong.
Max smiled. She was happy. Truly happy. "I love you, Alec." She said when he wrapped his arms around her, their son in between. It was the first time she had said it to him.
"I love you too, Max." He replied, kissing her on the forehead. But they already knew that. They had and would always love each other.
Max and Alec weren't going to make promises. They knew that this wasn't happily ever after. That was a dream. They would try to have that but their future was uncertain. They would fight for their lives but they would be a family. They would love each other. They would have their friends. They would just hold on to each moment because that's what life was really made of. Moments. Each minute was precious. Max and Alec didn't know what they had in the future.
For now all they really had were mixed blessings. They will always have that.
And of course, each other.
THE END???
OK, SOME PPL AREN'T HAPPY WITH THIS SO TELL ME IF U GUYS WANT A SEQUEL OR ANOTHER CHAPTER. I'LL WRITE IT TOMORROW IF I HAVE TO BUT GIVE ME SOME IDEAS!! DON'T JUST SAY THAT YOU WANT MORE.
