Title: Dreams

Author: UNKNOWN

A/N: OMG, I am SO sorry for taking so long to post. I've just been really down lately and couldn't find the energy. Pleeeeaaaassee forgive me. Ok, now about this chapter. It's the last one. I might write a sequel, but it'll have to be in the summer cause I'm really busy with, like, graduation and stuff. Sorry, but I've learned that it's really hard to do this fan fiction stuff, especially when you only have access to a computer between 3:30 and 5:30! Well, here we go. Enjoy!



Max picked the lock to Logan's apartment and carefully stepped inside. She crept to his office and peered in, making sure to stay in the shadows. Logan was sitting in his chair, staring blankly out the window. Max realized with a pain just how much she had hurt him. She took a deep breath and hoped he'd forgive her, then walked over and kissed him hard.

Logan couldn't move. Max was kissing him. What the hell does she think she's doing? He pulled away.

"Max, what the hell are you doing?" he said out loud.

"Logan, it's gone. For good this time." Max smiled and waited for his reaction.

A pause. Then: "Gone? Wow…it's gone! Max…" He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her deeply.

"But Max, how…?" He asked when they pulled apart.

"I had been getting really sick, you know, puking and stuff, so I went to see Dr. Carr. He did some tests and they showed that it was gone!"

"Wow…so that was why you were getting sick?"

"Umm…" Max didn't know what to say. She hadn't planned on telling Logan yet. Oh what the hell she thought.

"Logan, I was getting sick because, well…I'm…pregnant." She bit her lip and hoped his reaction was a positive one.

Logan was speechless. "Whose…whose is it?" He managed to ask, though he didn't really want to know. What if it wasn't his?

That's not what Max had expected. She'd assumed that Logan knew. "It's yours, Logan. Who's else would it be?"

Logan was once again speechless. He pulled Max into his lap and kissed her again.

"So you're not mad?" Max asked when they came up for air.

Logan found his voice. "Mad? Max, why would I be mad? This is great news!"

"Really?"

"Yeah" He lightly kissed her lips.

"I love you," he said, holding her close.

"I love you, too." Max felt happier than she had ever been.

They kissed again. "Hey, do you think you could whip us up some dinner, I'm starved."

"OK Max, first, how can you think about dinner at a time like this and second, it's one o'clock in the morning!"

"I just want things to be normal as quickly as possible, and you know I'm ALWAYS hungry!"

Logan smiled. "OK, fine. I'll make you dinner. But you have to help."

"OK." Max said. She jumped off his lap and walked toward the kitchen.

"Logan, hurry up! I'm not kidding, I'm really hungry!" She was happy things were back to normal.

"Yes ma'am." Logan called back. He heard Max laugh from the kitchen.

About an hour later, they were sitting at Logan's dining room table, enjoying his latest culinary masterpiece. The candles were lit, and classical music was playing softly in the background. Just like before, Max thought happily.

After they had finished dinner, Max got up to help clean off the table. Logan stood up.

"No." He said, pushing her back down. "Stay here. I have a surprise for you."

Logan disappeared into his room. Max could hear him rummaging around in something, and a second later he reappeared, carrying a small velvet box.

"Max," he said, kneeling in front of her, "I love you. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. We've been together for more than a year, through good and bad, and what I want to know is," he opened the box to reveal a diamond ring, "Will you marry me?"

Max smiled weakly. "Moving a little fast, aren't we?"

"I should have done this a long time ago. Like I said before, I'm sorry I didn't say anything that first year. I've come so close to losing you so many times. I don't want that to happen again."

Max was silent for a few moments. And then, "Logan, I love you with all my heart, and I'm sorry for leaving you. Being away made me realize that I can't live without you, so, yes Logan, I'll marry you."

Logan slipped the ring on her finger, picked her up and spun her around. He put her down and kissed her passionately, over and over and over again.

"Hey", Max said, breaking a kiss. "I should get going. Don't want Cindy to worry."

"Couldn't you just call her?" Logan asked, holding her around the waist.

"No, I really should go."

"Come by tomorrow? I'll make you lunch."

Max laughed. "Sure." She said. "I gotta blaze." She kissed him and left. "I love you," she said before she walked out.

"I love you, too."

Logan slept for the first time in days, dreaming VERY pleasant dreams…

****

Max shut the door to her apartment carefully, not wanting to wake Cindy. She sat on her bed and admired her ring. It was nothing fancy, just a simple diamond set in silver. It fit her perfectly. She was suddenly very tired. She yawned, lay down on her bed, and fell asleep.

She dreamed of Logan, of her and Logan, getting married, having kids, a dog, and house with a white picket fence. A perfect life. Didn't seem like her, to want all that stuff (especially the fence), but that's what she had been searching for her whole life; a home, a family, love. She woke up and sighed. Why do all the good dreams end so soon? But then she remembered what happened last night and smiled. It wasn't just a dream anymore.

~FIN~ for now, anyway…



A/N: So, how was it? Shippery and fluffy enough for you? I personally think it's a bit too mushy and stuff, but hey, that's me. Tell me what you think! And until summer rolls around and I have more time to write, I'll be the one reviewing your fics! Don't worry they'll be nice, I promise!
