I'm baaaaack!!! Here's yet another chapter in my wondeful DA world. It's
dedicated to all of you wonderful M/L shippers.
Max woke up startled, she scanned the room and sighed reliefed when she saw Dylan sleeping soundly next to her. She crept out of bed silently and went in search for Logan.
" Logan!" She called out to him, making her way in to the living room. There was no sign of Logan or Sandeman.
She went to the kitchen and found a note on the counter, it was from Logan and it read,
Max,
I had to do something, I went to tell you but you were sleeping. You looked so beautiful and peaceful that I didn't want to wake you, besides you deserve a little rest after all you learned today. I'll be back soon love, I left you something in the microwave I case you're hungry.
Love, Logan.
She grabbed the pie in the microwave and tried to eat, for the first time in her life she didn't eat. She paced around the penthouse trying to find something to do, when it was obvious she wasn't going to find anything she got an idea.
She went back to Dylan's room and woke her up, she changed her in to jeans and a sweater and left to Cindy's.
Meanwhile Logan arrived at Joshua's house and parked the Aztec, he got out and locked it.
" This is it." He said to the surprised man.
" I used to live here. I can't believe it." He replied.
They went up and knocked on the door, there was silence and then they heard footsteps coming.
" Little guy?" A gruff voice called from inside.
" It's Logan, open up I have a surprise for you." He said.
The door opened and Joshua appeared, he smiled at Logan but his smile died when he saw who was accompanying him.
" Father?" He asked, his voice wavering slightly.
The old man couldn't speak, it had been so long since he'd seen Joshua and now he was right before him.
" Josh." He finally said before being enveloped in a tight hug from Joshua.
Logan closed the door behind him and sat on the old, worn out couch. During the next hour, Sandeman and Joshua talked about everything that happened since he left Manticore.
Soon Logan was worrying about Max and decided to call home, the phone rang and when the machine answered he deduced that she wasn't home. So, he called her cell phone.
" Yeah." She answered.
" Hey baby, where are you?"
" At Cindy's, I woke up and you weren't there so I took Dylan and came over for a while. Are you with him?" She asked avoiding the mention of his name.
" Yeah, we're at Joshua's." Max gasped, she hadn't thoguth about Joshua yet.
" What? Why didn't you tell me, I wanted to be there when he found out! How did he react?" She inquired angrily.
" Sorry baby, but they're both very happy. You don't have to worry about him anymore, he isn't alone now." Max sighed tiredly.
" I know."
" Listen we have to talk about something very important, ok?" He had been talking to Sandeman about the idea and he knew he could pull it off.
" Ok, I'll see you home."
" Bye baby." He hung up and continued to watch the conversation in silence.
Finally Logan go home and opened the door, the penthouse was silent and there was no sign of Max or Dylan. He went to the kitchen and fixed himself some orange juice, then he went to his bedroom and changed clothes.
After a while of working on Eyes Only he heard the door open and he knew they were home, he went to receive them, Max had Dylan in her arms asleep.
" Hey baby." He said kissing her lips and taking Dylan.
" Oh I'm so glad to be home. Dyl fell asleep on the way and she's getting heavier everyday." Max said while Logan put Dylan to sleep.
When he came back she was sitting comfortably on the couch, he sat next to her and she crwled on his lap to cuddle. Logan held her tighlty, gently rubbing her back and kissing her forehead. They remained like that for a long while before Max finally spoke.
" Mmmhh, this feels so good." She purred softly to his ear. In response Logan kissed her temple and rubbed lower on her back. " You know you're lookin' for trouble, don't you?" He chuckled.
" Not before we talk. While I drove Sandeman to Joshua's, I squeezed some more information from him." Max tensed considerably upon his mention but Logan's rubbing warmed her immediately.
" What did he say?"
" He told me where she lives." He replied not sure of how to put it.
" My mom?" She asked softly.
" Yeah. I kinda figured that we could pay her a visit, she's lived her whole life in regret for leaving you at Manticore, I think she deserves to see personally how wonderful you turned out to be. And you most definitely deserve to meet the woman that carried you to term, the woman that broke all the rules and loved you as much as to try to escape." Max's eyes teared up and a a sob escaped her throat, Logan lifted her chin and kissed her lips.
Finally breaking down, she straddled his thighs and cllung tightly to his neck, her soft crying being the only reminder of the pain she had gone through all her life. Logan felt his heart break by her pain and tried to calm her.
" Baby, it breaks my heart to see you like this, I love you too much. I just want you to be happy and I think that this is a chapter that you must close in your life. You know I'd give my life for you Maxie, please don't cry baby, please." He whispered to her ear and kissed her.
The kiss started out bentle and soft, intended to calm her but as the seconds passed their hunger for each other grew. He explored Max's warm mouth with his tongue and teeth, biting and teasing until it was overwhelming, she ripped his shirt and caressed his chest with adoration.
Her mouth left his and trailed a path of wet, hot kisses all the way down his navel, where she dipped her tongue making him moan in ectasy.
He unbottoned her shirt and marveled once more by the beauty and perfection of this extremely sexy Goddess. He kissed her breasts through her black bra and she purred, the sound driving Logan crazy.
" God Max, you don't know what you do to me. You're all I need to be happy, baby all I need." He said between kisses.
" Bedroom. Now." She ordered softly.
She wrapped her legs around his waist as he guided them to their room, he closed the door quielty careful not to wake Dylan and placed Max on the bed. She flushed and her lips red, her breathing ragged from passion and her eyes were almost black with lust. It was the most amazingly beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
All through the night he showed her just how much he loved her, sometimes slow, with gentle adoration, exploring her body with exquisite torture. Other times lust and passion would take control and they would leave gentleness out, all that mattered was the insatiable urge of joining their bodies until the climax of their love would wreck havoc in their minds and bodies.
Finally they fell asleep in each other's minds, happy and satiated for the night, at least.
The morning sun surprised the lovers on their bed, tangled, every single part of their bodies in contact with the other's. Max opened her eyes and smiled, she kissed her sleeping lover on the lips and got up, her goal being the bathroom. However, her body had another idea, as soon as she sat and her feet made contact with the floor, she felt pain cursing all throught her body and she gasped loudly.
" Oh God!" She moaned rubbing her back, smiling however when she remembered the past night's exertion.
Logan heard her gasp and woke up immediately, he saw Max and grabbed her waist.
" What is it baby?" He asked with concern.
" I'm in such mayor pain right now. The next time you see me get all heated up on you, slap me." She said with a straight face. logan grinned like an idiot and kissed her shoulders, it was then when he noticed that Max was going somewhere.
" Where you going some place, the bathroom maybe?" He teased as she flexioned her tired muscles.
" Yeah, I'm planning to hit the bathroom by noon." She said joining in the joke.
" Well I'm in pain to you know." He rubbed his legs.
" Well, why didn't you stop?" She inquired raising an eye brow.
" What can I say, you're addictive." He pulled her back to him and kissed her passionately, to his inmense pleasure she responded immediately.
She felt her passion building up and straddled him, he helped her find him and when their bodies finally met they both sighed relieved. Once again they made love, this time under the sun's firm light.
A while after, when they were dressed, Logan made breakfast while Max woke Dylan up. She was tangled under the bed sheets with a huge teddy bear in her arms, Max gently stirred her until she awoke.
" Morning mommy, how are you today?" She asked softly.
" Well, might fine thank you lil' lady. Ready for the day?" In response Dylan jumped in to her arms and gave her a million kisses while Max laughed.
" I'll take that as a yes."
Finally when they were all fed and Max was getting ready for work, something crawled in to her mind.
" Logan, the answer is yes." She said looking at him.
" Well that's great honey…what was the question?" Heasked a little coonfused.
" About what we talked about last night, you know, my mom."
" Great, I'll set everything up so we can leave as soon as possible."
" Daddy, where we going'?" Dylan asked timidly from her child seat.
" We're going to meet your grandmother." He replied gaining a look from Max.
Logan had talked to Sandeman and got the right address, he also called Normal and bribed him in to giving Max a week off. He arranged it for Cindy to come with them because he knew that Max needed all the back up she could handle. So now they were on their way to Canada.
They slept in a comfortable motel during the night and made it to their destination in record time. He remembered how impresionable Cindy was so he checked them in at a Ritz Carlton hotel. He told Max he'd see her first to inform her and avoid her a heart attack, Max was too nervous to argue and complied, staying in the hotel with Cindy.
Logan reached the address with Dylan, it was a beautiful house with a white picket fence, like a movie. It was located in avery pretty neighborhood filled with trees and flowers. He got out and held Dylan's hand.
" Well Dyl, this is grandma's house." He told her before walking up to the porch and knocking.
A woman in her early 40's, with deep brown eyes and long dark hair opened the door. Logan was surprised to see the resemblance between the two of them since Max didn't have a single cell or chromosome in her body to match this woman.
She looked at him with caution and then down at Dylan. " May I help you?" She asked politely.
" Yes. My name's Logan Cale and I have something very important to talk to you about."
" Come in please." She offered. Logan was surprised at her hospitality but accepted.
She showed him to the spacious living room and offered him the couch, which he gladly accepted siting Dylan in his lap.
" Would you like something to eat or drink?" She asked.
" Would you like anything Dyl?" He asked the timid little girl.
" No daddy." She whispered.
" No thanks."
" Fine. What's so important?" She asked, straight to the point just like her daughter. Logan saw that the walls were filled with pictures of her sorrounded by kids.
" You must like kids very much, all them yours?" He asked curious. She chuckled lightly and Logan could see that behind that timid façade she was a happy person.
" No, they're my students but I love them like…" She trailed off and her eyes turned darker.
" Like you loved your daughter?" He finished for her. Her expression was of shock and her eyes grew wider.
" How did you know about 452?" She asked nervously.
" She's my girlfriend and mother of Dylan here." He answered calmly.
For a moment Angela couldn't breathe, this man ha djust told her that her daughter was his girlfriend and mother of this beautiful child. But that couldn't be, in Manticore theu were soldiers, robots. They weren't allowed to have families or boyfriends.
" That can't be." She stated angrily. " She's a soldier, a trained assasin." She spat.
Dylan didn't quite understand what thye were talking about but she knew they were talking about her mommy and she didn't like the tone she was using. She started to sob quietly.
" Daddy, I want my mommy." She said between sobs.
" You'll see her soon enough sweetheart." He consoled her. " Anyway, her name's not 452, that's her designation."
" Yeah, well at Manticore they weren't fond of names."
" Her name's Max Guevara and she escaped Manticore in '09 with other fellow soldiers, she was only 9 years old. She spent the following years trying to act normal, she encountered a foster family where she was beaten up and she didn't defend herself because she wanted to be normal. She found a friend that invited her to live with her in an abandoned building, she found a job as a bike messenger and used her enhanced abilities to steal thing s in order to seel them in the black market. That's how I met her, she tried to rob me and I caught her, I discovered what she was and I trakced her down. After some events in my life she came back and worked with me."
Angela was utterly speechless, a flame of hope burning inside her. " And?"
" She lost siblings along the way but she tried to burn down Manticore, unfortunately an X7 clone shot her and killed her. She was transported back to the lab where they transplanted her heart, they also gave her a virus directed to me so we couldn't touch. For three months I believed her dead, but then she came destroyed Manticore and came back to me. We spent 7 long month trying to find a cure until we did and now we're together. We found Dylan in a park and we adopted her."
" Where is she?" Angela asked frantic, her child was alive and wasn't a machine.
" At the Ritz Carlton with her best friend. She's really nervous about meeting you, how do you feel?"
" Oh, I've loved her all her life, I've loved her in every child I taught and I watched her grow too. I thought I'd lost her but I never forgot about her, I always prayed for her." She said crying. " Can I see her?"
" Of course, I'll bring her by later." He told her and walked to the door with Dylan in his arms.
" Wait Mr. Cale!" She called out.
" Logan." He corrected.
" Logan, can I at least kiss my granddaughter goodbye?" She asked with a smile.
" Sure." He said handing Dylan to her.
" Hey there precious, I'm your granma but you can call me nana Angie. I'll love you very much sweetheart, goodbye." She kissed the little forehead.
" Bye bye nana Angie." She whispered back and was handed back to Logan.
" I'll come back around 2:00 and leave her so you two can talk." He said and left.
Angela closed the door and fell to the floor crying.
" Oh God, thanks for giving me my life back." She cried.
Well, how'd it go? Next chapter we'll see Max's reaction towards her mtoher and what happens next. We'll also be seeing Alec, Cindy and a few surprise guests for you. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, I'll try and do better each chapter.
Max woke up startled, she scanned the room and sighed reliefed when she saw Dylan sleeping soundly next to her. She crept out of bed silently and went in search for Logan.
