Okay here is the next chapter. Thanks for the reviews they mean a lot to me!!!! This chapter isn't really that sad the next one will be probably though. But then it will get back to fluff.
"Mommy, Mommy waky." Max was being shaken gently by her son trying to wake her up.
"Hey sweety what's up?" She opened her eyes and saw her husband just starting to stir before turning to face her son.
"Mommy who sleeping in my room?" Xavier was looking up at her with those big eyes.
"That's your uncle Krit, remember I've told you about him babe." Xavier nodded remembering things his mother had told him about his uncle Krit. "You can meet him later ok right now just let him sleep."
"Mommy I hungry." As if to prove his point his stomach rumbled slightly.
"Well why don't you go into the kitchen and I will get daddy up to cook us breakfast k babe?" Xavier nodded and hugged Max before getting out of bed and running out of the room. Max turned and held Logan tightly and kissed him. He stirred but didn't wake up. "Sweetheart time to get up your wife and son want breakfast." Max whispered softly into his ear. He turned his head and kissed her softly then finally opened his eyes.
"Morning honey." He mumbled. "How are you doing?" He stroked her hair gently concern filling his eyes.
"A little better I guess. I just can't believe it right now for some reason it just feels so unreal. And it hurts, my son just woke me up, Syl will never get to have that. I just don't want to think about it right now I just want breakfast."
"Whatever you want you shall have." Logan slowly got out of bed followed by Max. They stumbled down the hall to the kitchen where Max sat next to her son at the island while Logan went to the fridge to see what they had for him to make for their breakfast. A while later they were all eating pancakes Xavier was talking nonstop about his birthday gifts from the day before, Logan was talking to him too but Max was being pretty silent. They were interrupted a while later by the sound of a baby crying. Max silently got up and walked down to her sons room. She knocked quietly on the door.
"Come on in Max." Came Krits reply from the other side of the door. She slowly walked in and saw Krit holding his daughter trying to quiet her. "Your hungry aren't you, why don't we get you a bottle." He said quietly to the baby in his arms.
"Logan and Xavier are up. If you want I can make her a bottle so you don't have to..."
"No Max it's okay. I want to see Logan again, and I can't wait to meet Xavier." He was looking for something in the small bag that he had with him, but having difficulty doing that while holding the fussy baby.
"Can I?" Max said gesturing to the baby.
"Yeah thanks Max." Krit said to her before looking down at the baby. "Isobel this is your aunt Max, she's going to hold you for a minute." He said while passing over the baby to Max.
"Hi Isobel that is a wonderful name. God Krit she's beautiful, she looks just like..." Max realized what she was saying and stopped both knew what she was going to say, but didn't dare finish her sentence. Neither of them wanted to think of the fact that she looked just like Syl. "Do you want to go meet your uncle and your cousin?" They were walking down the hallway towards the kitchen. "How old is she?"
"Seventeen day's, how about Xavier?" He was going into soldier mode almost, not thinking about the pain, just answering the questions.
"He just turned three." Max was doing the same thing
"Do you guys have any other kids?"
"Nope he's our only one so far." They had reached the kitchen door. Max walked in first followed closely by her brother.
"Good to see you again Krit." Logan stood when he saw them enter the room. He went over to Krit and they shook hands.
"You too Logan."
"Hey kiddo this is your uncle Krit why don't you come and say hi." Max said to her son. Then to him and Logan she added, "And this is Isobel. She's your cousin." Max said looking at Xavier. Xavier went right over to Krit who needled down to his level.
"Hi unci Krit!" Xavier gave him a big hug, a second later Krit hugged back. "You look like Mommy!" Krit gave a slight half smile at this, it felt good; he hadn't smiled in a while.
"So do you kid." Krit spoke in a soft voice to Xavier, careful to not show any sign of the pain he felt. He knew that the child of an x5 would pick up on it, even at the age of three.
"Hey kido why don't you go play in your room for a while so we can talk ok?" Logan asked his son.
"Ok daddy." As Xavier walked out of the kitchen Max prepared bottle and started to feed Isobel while Logan got a plate of pancakes for Krit. They all just sat silently for a minute.
"Krit can you talk about it, is that ok for you to talk about it?" Max said sitting down next to him.
"Yeah I can talk about it. I'll be okay." Krit was doing his best to stay in control of his emotions.
"Were you two married?" He nodded his head and held up his left hand showing them his wedding ring. "How long?" Max asked gently looking between Krit and Isobel.
"After we took down manticore we stayed together. We fell in love fast and were married a month later. Our six year anniversary is in two weeks. How long have you two been married?" Krit wanted to find out about them as well. But more then that he wanted to have something else to think about besides his situation.
"Four and a half years." Logan spoke up sitting across from the two of them, he saw the pain in Max's eyes over her sister death and her brothers pain. He wanted to go comfort her, but he knew he shouldn't. First he didn't want to get in the way of the siblings conversation at all. But the main reason was that he thought the last thing that Krit needed to see right now was a happy couple.
"Wow you Xavier after only a year, we wanted to have kids earlier, but..." Krit stopped talking suddenly in the middle of his sentence.
"But what Krit?" Max prodded him gently?
"She miscarried twice before." His voice was quiet and there was a tear in his eye.
"Krit I'm so sorry." Max said in the same tone Krit had just used. After that, there was an uncomfortable silence for a minute, no one knew what to say.
"Krit do you want something else to eat?" Logan knew they needed to change the subject and noticed Krit hadn't taken a bite of the pancakes yet.
"No thanks." Krit quickly dismissed the idea.
"Krit, you look thin, when's the last time that you ate something?" Max asked concern laced in her voice.
"I don't know." Krit said just hoping that they would drop it.
"Seventeen days?" Max didn't let it drop.
"Yeah."
"Well then you have to eat." Max said with the same concern in her voice, but there was a sterness to it too.
"I'm not hungry Maxie."
"My house my rules, you have to eat something, don't worry Logan's cooking is much better then at manticore." She added with a small smile. Krit slowly took a few bites of pancakes. "Good." Max said suddenly feeling a lot better, she had done something to help no matter how small it was she had finally done something. "Where have you been staying?"
"We had a place in San Francisco. After I couldn't go back we have been in a hotel there. I just couldn't stay in that city anymore. I thought I would see if you were still here I heard you were alive and came back."
"Are you going to stay in Seattle?" Logan asked this was one thing he was very curious about. He thought it would be good for both of the siblings if they would stay in each other's lives.
"I don't know I think it would be good though." Krit had thought about it, but still wasn't sure and didn't want to say yes unless he was.
"Stay here." Max didn't ask this, and she wasn't offering it. She was demanding it. Krit needed someone to take care of him a little right now, and she was going to be there for him.
"What?" Krit was shocked by this. They were brother and sister, but they had last seen each other six years ago, and it had been ten years before that. And now suddenly she wanted him to stay with her.
"We can put a bed and the bassinet in the exercise room. We can help with Isobel Logan works out of the house, so there is always someone here, you can stay as long as you want to. And I wont take no for an answer."
"Thanks Maxie I appreciate it." Max handed Isobel to Logan then turned back to Krit and hugged him tightly.
"One last thing, what about her body?" Max whispered in his ear as they hugged.
"In a cemetery in San Francisco." He whispered back.
"Krit." Her voice was still soft but no longer a whisper.
"Yeah?"
"I love you." Max had a tear in her eye as she said this. They had never heard the word growing up so had never gotten to say it to one another. She felt it was about time. Plus she felt that it was what he most needed to hear right now.
"I love you too Maxie." They were interrupted by Isobel crying.
"Hey Krit I think she wants her father." Logan said handing Isobel over to him.
"Hey Issy so now that you have met them both what do you think of your aunt Max and uncle Logan?" Isobel just looked up at him with her big blue eyes. "We will be staying here for a while, you will get to like them, they're great people."
