Ok first thanks for all of the reviews. Second I am currently writing both this story and "The greatest adventure" I will write a new chapter every few days of whichever one gets more reviews for the previous chapter. Here is the second chapter it starts a few days after Max and Logan got back from the vacation. It is December 12, 2001. Max's thoughts are in 'marks'.


Chapter 2: gifts

Max slowly slipped back into bed. It was two in the morning and Logan and Max had gone to bed about an hour ago. This is what they did every night since Max didn't sleep much. She would go to bed with him at night and they would usually fall asleep together. Max would wake up a half hour later and get up and do something. She would always make sure thought that if she went out of the apartment to leave a note in case he woke up. Then she would slip back in bed for another half hour or so in the morning before he woke up. Max was just getting up out of bed now. She didn't really feel like going out now so she just raided the fridge and sat down to watch a movie. She got board with it soon and thought about reading. Although she had read all of her books, she started to look around Logan's desk for one of his that she had not yet read. That's when she found the box.

There was a small box about a two inch cube. It was beautifully wrapped in silver and dark purple wrapping and had a silver and light purple ribbons. There was a little card on top that said.

Max,
Happy anniversary angel. I have loved you since we met. I love you now. And I promise That for the rest of my life I will love you with every breath.
Love,
Logan

'Oh god that is so sweet' Max sat feeling her knees go weak. 'Wait a minuet it isn't even close to our anniversary what the fuck? Oh shit two years ago today is the day when we first kissed he gets me a great gift and I didn't even remember!' "What am I going to do" she whispered quietly to herself. She spent the rest of the night pacing and was out to Cindy's before work. She left before Logan woke up leaving him a note saying where she was.

"What am I going to do?" Max had just explained the situation to her friend and now this rough tough genetically engineered killing machine was reduced to whining.

"Boo it will be fine. No couple celebrates the anniversary of their first kiss I am sure he isn't expecting anything. He probably just wanted an excuse to get you something."

"You think?"

"No, I know." Original Cindy sounded so sure of herself Max was calmed by it slightly, but not completely. "Listen Boo instead of lunch why don't we go out shopping and you can get your boy something small k?"

"Thanks OC."

"No big dealio, you my boo. Now we gots to get to work before the man fires our ass."



Max went home at seven that night with a small box of her own to give to Logan.
She saw that he had a big romantic meal going. There were even roses, not just any roses, but sterling roses, her favorite. She went into the kitchen to find Logan just getting dinner out of the oven.

"Mmmm Logan that looks so good what is it."

"Hey angel." He put the pan down walked over and kissed her gently before going back to his cooking. "It's spanikopita, I thought you would like it."
Max knew he probably wanted to do this hole big thing and end it with the gift, and she could wait. Then she thought of the gift she had to give him and she could barley wait for them to get throughout with all of it so she could give it to him. She behaved though they went out and sat down to a great meal. They had just finished up when Logan brought out desert. 'Ok there is no way I had to sit through dinner waiting already I can't wait any longer.

"Happy Anniversary!" she said while thrusting the little gift towards him. He was looking at her a little stunned he couldn't believe it. Not only did she remember she got him a gift. "Open it" he started to open it and she tried to explain it while he carefully tore back the paper. "Don't get your hopes up, it is just a little thing I thought we might need in a while." He opened the box to find two rings of white gold one her size and one his, with a small infinity symbol etched on both sides of the outside of each ring. And the larger ring had an inscription inside that said "To Logan with Love." He couldn't believe it, they were wedding rings for them; she wanted them to get married. He leaned across the table and kissed her deeply and when they separated he was still in shock. Then he suddenly started to laugh. "What is so funny? I thought it was very romantic." Max said rather defensively. He handed her his gift and continued to laugh slightly. She opened it to find a white gold band with and enormous diamond on top with a smaller sapphire on either side. Inside it said "To Max with Love." She joined in the laughter and slipped the ring onto her finger it was a minute later when the shock ended that they realized what they both had done.

"Oh Max honey, I'm so sorry we did this all wrong."

"It's ok Logan." She kept looking down at the ring on her hand, then back up at Logan.

"No it isn't." He stooped to one knee and took the ring off her finger. "Max you have made me happier then I ever thought possible will you do me the great privilege of marrying me?" There are tears in her eyes and she finds herself unable to speak unable to scream out yes. So she quickly nodded and he slipped the ring back on her finger. He leaned up and kissed her gently then whispered "I will love you until the stars fall from sky." She is searching for the perfect words but can't seem to think anymore. So she just said what she felt.

"I once called marriage a public humiliation, but I was wrong. I just didn't get it. I didn't see how people could love each other forever. I didn't believe in things like soul mates, hell I didn't believe in souls. But now I know better. I know that we have souls, we have to because I found my soul mate. I found you. I am going to love you forever Logan." And then she leaned over and kissed her fiancé with all of the love and joy she felt.
