Disclaimer: I don't own Dark Angel. But hay, you can't have everything –
Where would you put it?
A/N: I'm sorry it took so long! Please forgive a wayward author!
A/N2: The next part should be up sooner, but I have relatives visiting from overseas, so I'm not too sure…
By the way, to all you Aussies out there – Happy Australia Day (Jan. 26) !!!
"You really are in a fix." Sebastian's mechanical voice said quickly.
"Sebastian, please. Just tell me what's wrong!" At this stage, Logan was almost in hysterics. He was sitting on a chair in Sebastian's lab, holding Max's unconscious form.
"Logan," Sebastian said, his voice annoyingly calm. "I don't know what's wrong. It will take a few minutes for the results to come back. Meanwhile, all we can do is make Max as comfortable as possible."
"OK." Logan's voice shook as he lowered Max down onto Sebastian's examination table. "Max honey." He whispered in Max's ear. "Please stay strong."
"You've reached the number you've dialled. Please leave a message… Hi this is Max and Logan's. Ignore my husband's boring message, and leave a message if you must!"
Original Cindy sighed as she again reached the Cale's answering machine.
"Max. It's Cindy. Please ring your boo, as she is worried."
I hope she's OK.
Max awoke suddenly. Where am I? "Logan?!"
"Max! You're awake. Thank God." Logan said worriedly.
"Logan? What happened?" Max asked nervously. "Are we OK?"
"I don't know." Logan sighed. "Sebastian will be back with the test results any minute."
As Logan said this, Sebastian entered the room. "OK Cales. The results are in!"
Logan glared at Sebastian's happy tone (If a happy tone is possible on a voice synthesiser.) "Sebastian please spit it out!" Logan could see that Max was very upset, and he just wanted to take her home.
"OK." At Logan's glare, Sebastian got down to business. "Basically, Max was made to heal faster than a normal person."
"So?" Max was getting impatient.
"So, your blood is coursing with Pluropontents. Undifferentiated stem cells." Sebastian hesitated. "When a child is conceived, the embryo forms from these stem cells."
Max was beginning to catch on. "So, my body is confused?"
"Well, yes." Sebastian answered. "Your body is having a hard time recognising that you are actually pregnant, and is trying to reject the baby."
At these words, Max let out a loud sob.
"Max, baby." Logan was trying hard not to cry himself. "It's OK." To Sebastian, he asked "What do we do?"
Sebastian answered quickly. "It will be OK. Max just needs to have a few injections, and be closely monitored." He paused as Max looked at him hopefully. "And the baby is fine."
At this, Max smiled broadly. Logan hugged her hard and grinned. Thank God. They thought together.
"Come on Max" Logan said. "Let's go home."
As Max slept, Logan called Cindy and Normal, explaining what had happened, and getting her off work for a while. As he walked into their room to check on her, Max stirred, and awoke slowly.
"Logan?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry." Max was fighting tears at this point. It's all my fault.
"Max." Logan said strongly. "This is not your fault. You cannot be held responsible for the way they made you. Anyway, we didn't loose the baby. He's a fighter."
Max smiled. "He?"
A/N: He he I'll post the nest part ASAP.
