A deep sadness filled Logan once again as he looked out over the black Caribbean Ocean. He set the chair's breaks and rested his chin on his hands while watching the cruise ship's wake. Reminiscing about the events of not-so-long-ago had become a depressing hobby that he seemed unable to leave behind even on vacation.
After Zack had left, things began returning to normal. Cindy had strangely stopped hating Zack, and Bling forgave Max. The two of them him had gone to the cabin for a romantic weekend and returned with their spirits rejuvenated. Now, as promised, they were on a vacation in the Caribbean.
"There you are, I've been looking for you all night. If we don't hurry up, we will miss dinner." Max said in a cheerful tone as she walked up next to him. Quickly wiping the tears from his eyes, Logan turned his head to face her.
"Hey beautiful." She quickly saw through his façade and leaned against the railing. As their eyes met, her hands snaked into his lap to grasp his.
"What's wrong? You've been so depressed lately… I'm worried about you." Ever since Logan had almost killed himself, she had been paying closer attention to his emotions. He glanced out to sea and then back to her.
"Come here." He tugged her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist, his chin rested on her shoulder. The gentle swaying of the ship combined with the warm salty breeze to comfort the couple. "Max." He whispered in her ear.
"Hmmm…?" She purred.
"It's so hard."
"I know. I know." Gentle hands began caressing the tops of his palms that were now resting gently on his wife's belly.
"I love you so much." The sound of waves bobbing was hypnotizing. The star filled sky claimed Logan's attention while the symphony of pleasant sensations continued. His stargazing was interrupted when Max tensed a little. "Are you alright?" By the tone of his voice he was clearly expecting a yes.
"More than alright. There *is* something I need to tell you though." Logan snuggled into her neck a little more and shifted to acquire a more comfortable position with the love of his life.
"Anything." Max leaned back into the security of her husband's arms and casually said the only two words that could possibly make everything better.
"I'm pregnant."
The End
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N- Sorry about the long wait for such a short chapter. I am not supposed to use my computer for awhile due to a nightclub incident… so this chapter is kind of like underground fan fiction. Anyway, I am planning to make a sequel if there is a big response for it. The reason I say that is reviews have been coming in less and I didn't know if the story was going downhill. So I know everyone say this, but if you like the story R/R and if you don't like it R/R!
