1.1 Past and Present: Family Reunion+1
It had been 2 hours since Jondy had gotten to the top of the space needle, and she wasn't any closer to deciding what she should do. A part of her just wanted to run back home, and ignore her feelings. The other half desperately wanted to find Max, so she could finally put aside at least one of the demons of her past. Of course that would only happen if her little sister wasn't angry with her…
She felt her body automatically tense up as her ears picked up the sound of someone behind her. Who would come up here at this time of night? A sudden sense of recognition hit her as she cautiously turned around, half-afraid and half-excited about what she might find.
"Jondy? Is it really you?" The voice filled Jondy's head, the voice she'd been longing to hear for over 10 years….
Tears filled her eyes. From one quick look at her, Jondy could tell that Max had been missing her as much as she had. She was finally about to have the reunion she'd dreamt of… "Maxie, it's really you!" All her fears subsided as she hugged her little sister.
"Oh Jondy you have no idea how much I wanted you here. Your timing couldn't have been more perfect…we've been looking for you for awhile, me and Zack, but every time we'd close in on you you'd be gone…actually it's funny, since we couldn't find you Zack thought you'd finally obeyed his 'orders' and left San Francisco." Max giggled as she remembered all the times their big brother had tried to make her leave Seattle.
"What's happened, Max? What's different about you?" Jondy said, trying to ignore the heat in her cheeks at the mention of Zack's name. She knew that there was chemistry between the two of them, but what were her true feelings towards him? That was just one of the things she'd usually think about on the bridge, watching the sunrise.
"What's happened to me? That's what I should be asking you…Zack told me about last time he saw you, and the change he sensed in you." Max stepped back a bit and got a better look at her big sister. She looked just the way she'd pictured, tall and well built, with long, dark blond hair and green eyes, the eyes of a cat. In those eyes was a spark that Max could identify all to easily; it's the same spark she saw in Logan's eyes when she woke up each morning. "And now I see you for myself, I'm certain of it…" You're in love aren't you? But with who? It's not Zack.
"I don't know what you're talking about Maxie… For the last few months all I've been doing is concentrating on finding you, and not think about...anything else." Jondy replied, well aware she probably looked as red as a tomato.
"Fine then…I think I already know." You're not the only X5 that looks this way… "I guess you'll see for yourself when we get there."
"We? What do you mean Maxie? Where are we going?"
"We're going back to my place, and we should probably get there quick, Logan will flip when he realizes I left him alone with all the other X5's…Zack's not to fond of him, you know." Max smiled. Logan looked so cute when he got mad at her. Probably because they'd always make up later…
"You mean everyone else is at your place? What for? And who's Logan?" Jondy rattled off all the questions in one breath, afraid of what the answer might be...all the X5's…there might be danger.
"It's ok Jondy. Nothing's wrong, in fact my life has never been better…Logan's my…well husband, and everyone else is here because we're celebrating…something." Max smiled mysteriously, a weird look of pride coming over her face. "Logan and I had a baby a month ago, and we wanted her to meet her aunts and uncles. You know how important family is to me…"
Jondy stood back in shock. Max was married? And she had a baby? "Wow…gosh I don't know what to say…my little sister with a baby…wow."
"Well get that surprised look off your face and let's go…like I said Logan will flip when he finds out I'm gone. I only came here because the apartment was so crowded, and I needed some fresh air. Oh my god I still can't believe you're here…everyone's gonna be so happy to see you!"
Max lead the way back down the space needle, with Jondy following her, still not over the shock of everything she'd found out in the last 10 minutes. "I'm just assuming the bike I found down here is yours Jondy…in that case, just follow me and I'll lead you back to my place ok?"
Jondy nodded in awe…then she thought of a question she wanted to ask before they got back to the apartment. "Max? What's the baby's name?"
Her little sister looked back at her, a shadow settling on her face. Max let out a shaky breath. "Eva." Jondy looked at Max in amazement.
"You named her Eva?"
"Maybe one day I'll be able to tell people her name without remembering the memories that come with it. I wanted a name that symbolized the happiness and freedom I felt when she was born…I'm sure you remember as well as I do the events leading up to the escape. I thought I'd never be able to have a complete life until I acknowledged them…so that's what I did. One day I'll tell her where she got her name from; it'll be the same day she learns about the escape."
"Yeah. Her name's Eva. I named her after the aunt she'll never get to meet."
