Max looked at Logan dumfounded. He wanted to marry her even after she ran away from Seattle? He was looking at her waiting for an answer.
"I don't know what to say." She answered truthfully.
"Say yes and make me the happiest man alive." He said looking her right in the eyes. From the way he looked at her she could tell he still loved her.
"What about Alex?" Max asked. She was used to her daughter coming first and no matter how much she wanted to marry Logan she still mattered more.
"She's my daughter as well. We can raise her together like we should have done 2 years ago." Logan answered wanting the chance to spend time with his daughter and Max.
Max thought about it for a minute and then said, "Well if you're sure then, yes. I would love to be your wife."
That was all it took. Logan swept Max in to his arms and they kissed for the first time in three years. They kissed with such love that you couldn't tell they had been apart. The pair went into the bedroom where they slept in each others arms. Max rested her head on Logan's chest and they fell asleep dreaming about the future.
Their blissful rest was broken however by the patter of tiny feet. Alex, who had inherited Max's sleeping habits, came into the couple's bedroom in search of her mother. Instead she found Max sleeping in Logan's arms.
"Mommy?" Alex said to Max, wondering who Logan was having not met Logan the night before. Max stirred from her sleep, "Hey baby," she said. Logan was also awake as Max's movement had disturbed him. He didn't say anything because he didn't think he should. Max picked up the small child and placed her on the bed.
"Mommy, who's dat?" she asked. Max was a little unsure of what to say. She thought of asking Logan but realised he would probably have even less of an idea. She decided on the truth.
"Your Daddy." She answered wondering how she would take it. Well it seemed, Alex went over to Logan and looked at him. She noticed he was awake before Max and asked him, "Daddy, you stayin here?" Logan threw a glance to Max.
She replied, "No he's not sweetie," Alex looked disappointed at this but cheered up when Max added, "We're going to stay with him."
"Sure?" Logan mouthed to Max who nodded.
"When?" Alex asked obviously eager to move. This time Max looked to Logan.
"Today too soon?" He asked
"No, its three years too late, but it'll do." Max replied.
Half an hour later the new family were seated around the table eating breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast cooked by Logan.
"I probably missed your cooking more than anything." Max joked.
"I know I missed you eating all my food." Logan replied.
After dinner they set upon the task of packing the stuff ready for the move. Alex seemed willing to help and she worked on her bedroom while Logan helped Max.
"She took it well didn't she?" Logan asked wondering why she took it so well.
"I knew she'd take it well but not that well," Max replied and then asked, "What did you think I didn't tell her anything about you?"
"Well, yeah, since I didn't even know she existed." Logan replied, still a little disappointed that he had missed the first 2 years of his daughters life, "It doesn't seem fair."
"Life's not fair remember? I didn't want her not to know you. Besides I always promised that if she asked questions I'd answer them." Max replied, "I think that's all of it. Shall we go and help Alex?"
"I'm done." Alex said dragging a small bag of toys with her.
"Don't think so honey, what about your clothes?" Max asked amused by her daughters efforts.
"Oh yeah" Alex replied, "Come on the you two can help."
"Thanks." Max said. Before following her daughter into the bedroom to pack.
Two hours later the family were on their way to Seattle to start their life together.
