AN: No Gabrielle don't get help! I like you the way you are. Besides then my crazy ass will need to seek help and I don't feel like being sane. Carrie, the reason the doctor would want to know why they can't have kids is because he's helping to sell these kids and needs to make sure they are on the up and up, so to speak. Deb, glad you liked the line.

Chapter 9
"So what did Logan have to say?"
"No amount of TV is going to wash those images from my mind." Alec mumbled, shaking his head as he entered their room, shutting the door behind him.
"Huh?" Max looked at him confused from the doorway of the bathroom, "Alec what in the hell are you talking about?"
Alec looked up at Max, just staring at her because he didn't know what to say. Now there's something for you boys and girls, I Alec…speechless? Well I guess catching a guy who is thirteen years older, so he should be wiser right? Anyways, as I was saying, well thinking, catching a guy thirteen years older than yourself and the woman standing on the other side of this room whom he is supposed to be in love with screwing someone else, would render a person speechless.
"Alec?" Max said taking a step towards him. He's not talking, he's not making some annoying comment that I secretly find attractive, what's wrong with him? "Alec you're scaring me what's going on?"
Alec opened his mouth then closed it. It's none of my business and like the saying goes it's always the messenger that gets shot. Max may not like guns but she could still do some critical damage without one. "Nothing, I'm fine. To answer your question Logan didn't say much." To me anyway, but before I have a feeling he was saying a lot. "We'll get the rest tomorrow. I'm going to get ready for bed." He said walking past her into the bathroom and shut the door.

Alec sighed in relief when he opened the door to the bathroom and the lights were off. Good she's already in bed and hopefully asleep.
Max could hear Alec come out of the bathroom. She bit her lip, her mind in turmoil. She wanted to pester whatever was bothering him out of him but she had been thinking of something else and needed to breech that before her courage faltered.
Alec sat down on his side of the bed and gently eased himself under the covers, trying not to wake the sleeping woman besides him. He laid his head down on the pillow and in the second before he felt her hand on his bare chest and her breath in his ear he had known she wasn't asleep. "Max, I think we can sleep somewhat apart for at least one night before they think something is up." His eyes flickered over the hidden camera.
"That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about." Max whispered, even though they knew there weren't any listening devices.
Alec groaned inwardly as he felt her shaky breath on his neck, "You've finally decided to admit how much you want me and want to give the baby sellers a show?"
Max reached under the covers and pinched his leg hard. Yes. What? No. Yes, yes, yes. Stop lying to yourself at least you idiot, he's hot, you know you could bounce a quarter off his ass, and you want to find out what chocolate syrup tastes like alaAlec. "And Renfro was a regular Mother Teresa. Cut the crap for once Alec this is hard enough for me to suggest but if we don't the child smugglers may figure out something is up."
"Since I know how you feel about guns, I'll say this," Alec sighed, "Shoot."
"Don't tempt me to change my mind about guns." Max warned. Why oh why does the word shoot sound so damn seductive coming from his mouth. I don't need this, especially now. "I think we…um well we should probably…what I'm trying to…we need to…"
Alec turned his head to look at her, "Max just spill it before you turn into the blathering fool we all know you can…OW!" He rubbed his shoulder, "That wasn't a good idea considering we are being watched."
"Whatever you deserved it and they probably know how much you deserved it to." Max grumbled.
Alec sighed. This is all turning into a nightmare, "Doctor Demento with no security in his baby selling office won't think we are parent material if he thinks you hate me."
"I do hate you." I hate you because I want you so damn much. God this shit is driving me crazy, she thought. "But once we do what I've been trying to propose we do, he won't have any reason to believe that we don't love each other and want each other. We'll know it's a lie of course but he won't." She quickly added.
"Max just get to your point…you do have one don't you?"
Max took a deep breath and quickly let her idea rip, "I think we need to pretend to have sex."
Alec stared at her, speechless. Wow twice in one day. This must be a record for me. "Of all the things in all the world I never thought I would hear come out of your mouth it had to be THAT one."

"Alec if we don't they will know something is up, it's not like I want to pretend to have sex with you." Max sighed, because I would rather really have sex with you. No, no, no, stop that you love Logan.
"Couldn't we just pretend that you're fridged?" Alec suggested. How in the hell am I going to pretend to have sex with Max when I all I really want is to just rip all her clothes off and really give the perverts who are on the other side of that camera a show.
Max growled, frustrated. "Not thanks to you and your good in bed boast."
"How do you propose we go about pretending to have sex?" Alec asked, propping his head up with his elbow and palm.
"How do you think? We keep our clothes on, stay under the sheet and just go through the motions." Max sighed, "You've got to be used to girls faking it right?"
