~~flashback~~
Max and Alec wake up in the field at sunrise the next morning. She is laying with her head on his chest and he has his arm wrapped around her. She just laid there for a minute listening to his breathing and staring at his handsome face. His eyes opened and he smiled down at her. "Good morning Maxie."; "Morning Alec." She sat up next to him and started to gather the things around her and put them in the bag. He sat up and put an arm around her shoulder. "I had a good time last night, I hope you did too." He was a little uncertain, given the way she was acting. She looked in his eyes, she could tell he was worried, and she also knew she didn't want to ruin their relationship as friends, "Yeah, I had a really good time, you're not bad to hang with after all." He grinned, "So you don't want to kick my ass anymore? He joked. "Well, if I get really bored I might."They both laughed. Alec stood up and reached down to help Max up. She stood in front of him, their hands joined in front of her. 'Why does this feel so strange?' she questioned herself, 'and why do I not want to let go?'. They gathered up their things and got on the bike. They rode in silence, partly because the bike was too noisy to hold a normal conversation over and partly because they were so lost in thought.
"When they got back Max told him it would be O.K for him to drop her off at the curb because OC would question them and she didn't want that. She walked up to the apartment as quietly as possible, hoping OC would still be asleep. She was wrong though, she was still up, sitting on the couch with blue stuff all over her face and rollers in her hair.
"Have fun with Hot Boy Sugga?" She had a devilish grin on her face. "Max sighed and sat down on the couch beside her. "We're not even like that. I've told you before."
OC looked at her, and grinned, "That's what you say, but Boo, everyone knows there's something between you two. What's really going on?"
Max sighed and started talking about last night.
"So you two kissed, huh? Is he a good kisser?"
Max grinned at her,
"I thought you didn't swing that way?" She teased.
Cindy laughed and looked over at her more seriously. "I don't but I'm nosy, is he or is he not a good kisser?"
"Yeah, he is." She was actually smiling.
Cindy reached out her hand for a high five, "Gimme some!"
They high five but then Max got serious again, "I just don't know what to do though. I still have feelings for Logan and I don't want to do the whole 'rebound' thing, ya know, I don't want to use him. I think I have feelings for him too."
" I know he's got feelings for you too," She motioned to the flower in the kitchen, "I never would have thought he even knew what one of those even was, but he brought one to you. Boo, you gonna figure it out, I promise. If he cares, he'll wait."

"Morning Ladies." Alec walks over and sits down between OC and Max.
"Hey." Max said flatly and walked off to the bathroom.
He looked at Cindy shocked, "What's wrong with her? What did I do?"
Cindy just shook her head and pulled her backpack out of the locker. "I dunno, she said she didn't feel good this morning, almost called in. I'm not sure what's going on."
"Hey, Toshiba, delivery to sector 5, bip bip bip..."
Normal was himself today, that much was for sure.
"Fool, you know that ain't my name. "Whatever, package, NOW!!!! Or you're fired.
She glared at him as she passed by him on the way to get her bike.
"Damn ashore."
"You say something there missy miss?"
Cindy smiled at him, "Who, me?" and she was out the door.
"Golden Boy, where's Max?"
"Bathroom, why?"
"I got a two-person run to sector 5, thought you and your little girlfriend might want to do it together." Normal actually had a semi-nice tone but it bothered Alec to no end.
"We're not like that."
They turned to see Max coming their way.
"Normal, don't you have someone else to torment?" Max questioned him.
He scowled down at her for a minute and turned to walk away, "Bip Bip Bip."
Max and Alec just shook their heads at each other and gathered up the 8 small packages and got on their bikes.
They had just finished delivering the packages and found out they were 8 little kittens going to some old woman with a smelly house, so they stopped to get a bottle of water. Out of the blue Max started to shake. Alec looked at her, deeply concerned. "Max, what's wrong? Is it a seizure?" She just nodded her head, this one was bad, worse than any she'd ever had before.
Alec pulled her up and set her on the back of his bike, "Come on, I have some tryptophan at my house." He'd had the seizures before, like most of the X-5's. She just wrapped her arms around him and prayed she'd have enough strength to hold on. Luckily they were only about 2 blocks from his apartment.
By the time they made it to his apartment the shaking had subsided enough for her to make it up the stairs and into his apartment.
He sat her down on the couch while he went into the bathroom to get the pills. When he came back she was shaking hard again and he gave her 4 of the white pills and a glass of water. It took allot of effort but she finally got them all down.
Alec sat down on the end of the couch and put a pillow in his lap, "Here, lay down, it'll make you feel better.
Right as she went to lay down the power went out, good thing it was still kinda early, about 4pm but it gets dark around Seattle early. Alec stood up and lit 5 candles around the living room and a couple in the other rooms.
When he sat back down she took him up on his offer and laid her head in his lap. Within moments she fell fast asleep to the feeling of Alec stroking her hair. He looked around the apartment, the candle light was hitting Max in such a way that she looked like an angel, it even gave her a halo on the top of her head, Soon afterwards, he too was asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Max looked around her, she was in a dimly lit room, music was playing an old soft song. She noticed it as "Wind Beneath My Wings" a song from about 40 years ago. She looked off to her right, there was a man standing there in a tuxedo, Logan? No, it was Alec. She smiled as she walked toward him, the floor length black gown she was wearing brushing against her sandal clad feet as she moved. He holds out his hand to her, "May I have this dance?"
She takes his hand and they ease over to the dance floor that has just appeared.
They dance nose to nose, gazing into each other's eyes. The deep-felt emotion almost too much for them to bear.
"Max?" he breaths.
"Yes Alec?" She asks equally breathless.
"I have to tell you something."
"Yeah?" He nods "Me too.
"Max, I'm falling in love with you."
"Alec, I' falling in love with you too, but I'm scared."
"Me too Max, but it's going to be OK. You're worth it."
She smiles up at him, "You too."
He plants a kiss on her nose. She wraps her arms around his neck and close the distance remaining between them. They kiss slowly at first, then more passionately.
"Alec?"
"Yes Max?"
"Make love to me."
They look over to their right where a bed has now appeared.
They walk hand and hand to the bad to take the next step in their relationship.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Alec was the first to awaken and he looked down at Max. They were holding hands as they slept, fingers interlaced. He kissed the fingers on his free hand and placed it lightly on her sleeping lips.
Max woke up and yawned. "Hey."
"Hey yourself."
"I haven't slept like that in a while, how long was I out?"
He looked over at his watch, "About four hours, it's 8:30. You feeling better?"
" A little, still pretty weak though."
She started shaking again, lighter this time. Alec reached for his bottle and she stopped him, "it's not a seizure Alec, it's freezing in here. Do you have a blanket or something?"
"Sure," He walked to the bedroom and she followed him, she felt the need to move, to not just stay laying on her back like she was helpless. She made it as far as his bedroom before another seizure knocked her on the floor. This one much stronger than her first.
Alec heard the thud and came to pick her up, since she was already in his room he just laid her on the bed, she pulled the covers up around her while he went to get the pills out of the living room. he sat down on the bed next to her and gave them to her. She took the pills and stopped shaking after a few minuets.
Alec slides down on the bed and laid on his side facing her. He ran his fingers through her hair and along her jawbone. She shivered as he touched her, goosebumps appearing on her arms.
He felt the shudder and glanced down at her eyes, "You want me to stop?"
She shook her head no and closed her eyes. The light contact was heavenly, she was entranced by Alec, his scent, his feel, everything about her made her lightheaded.
Alec could only stare at her, he'd never seen her quite like this before, innocent, peaceful and she seemed to truly enjoy his touch.
She looked up and caught him staring at her, she wondered what was going on in his head.
"Thank you Alec."
He raised his eyebrows in question. "For what Maxie?"
"For everything, you've been so wonderful to me, even after all we've been through." She lowered her voice, "After I've been such a bitch to you."
He hugged her to him and kissed her on the forehead, "Anytime. I'd do anything for you." And he really meant it.
She smiled up at him, "Same here." She too truly meant what she said.
They stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds, slowly moving toward one-another, both of their breaths catching and kissed, this time with even more feeling than the other night. He let her lead the kiss and when she parted her lips inviting his tongue in, he glady accepted. After what felt like must've been ten minuets they parted and stared. She smiled up at him and he smiled back, assuming that meant she didn't regret what just happened.
"Wow." Alec couldn't manage a coherent thought as he ran his fingers over her lips which were even fuller than usual, thanks to their kiss.
"Yeah, wow." She agreed as he leaned in and kissed her again. This was definitely getting interesting, she kissed him and was actually not regretting it, hmm....
Alec spoke up "Whatdaya say we get some sleep, huh?"
"Yeah, that's cool."
He slid his left arm under her neck and wrapped the right one protectively over her belly. She settled back against him and closed her eyes.
Alec remembered the dream from earlier and his curiosity got the better of him.
"Max?"
"Huh?"
"Did you dream any earlier?" He was kind of worried about her response but he needed to know.
"Yes, did you?" She knew where this was going as she turned back over to face him.
"Yeah, I did," He was nervous, "Small room, lotta candles, dress, tux, something like that?"
Even in the dark room he could tell she was blushing, "You had the same dream?"
He nodded, "Yeah."
"Did you mean it?"
He brought his hand up to her face and kissed her gently, "Yes, every word. Did you?"
She had a tear in her eye, she was suddenly very happy, "Yes, I'm falling in love with you."
He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He wrapped his arm around her and hugged her close to him. "Max, I know you're scared, so am I. We'll go as slow as you need."
"Thank you Alec. Now how about we go to sleep."
A/N: Please tell me what you think....I don't know where this is gonna go, but I am trying to make it really long, there is an action chapter planned next, I'm just in the mood for shipperyness right now.
BTW, how about we shoot who ever canceled Dark Angel, huh?
Cameron if you wanna sue me, go ahead....you won't get anything!!!
A/N1: Sorry it has taken me so long to update, I've been really busy.... anyway, here's ch3. Lemme know what you guys think, O.K.?
A/N2: I am so depressed over this whole cancellation business, so I'm gonna try to work on all my stories more often...so we can keep the characters around, ya know? I miss it already....(breaks down in sobs...OK,. better now)
