Pairing: M/A
9 Months Of Madness
(Three Days Later…)
A young brunette male nodded his head as he read the chart in his hands. His piercing blue/green eyes filled with a warmth as he looked over to the very emotional lad seated across the room. A chuckle rose in his throat but past no farther. Tom (my character not fox's.) Shook his head before clearing his throat that caught Alec's attention.
For a brief moment fear, anger, and uncertainty swam the depths of his hazel eyes then as the doctor cleared his throat all Alec's feelings dispraised. " Yes." He answered in a strong voice hiding his inner conflicts.
Tom studied the young man before him. Back at Manticore he had heard a lot about Alec. Even here in T.C. Alec held high respect from all around him. Tom pushed aside his wonder and questions to deliver his news.
" While what about Max?" Alec asked before Tom could say anything. " Is she O.K.?"
A glimmer of amusement flickered from Tom's eyes. ' While at least she has someone to help her.' He thought. " The girl you brought in, Max did you say her name was? Is fine." Tom answered in a slow voice.
A breath Alec hadn't realized he had been holding escaped his lips in a sudden wave of relief. " Is she up yet?" Alec asked not hiding the joy from his voice.
" Why yes she is and she's asking for you." Tom smiled reviling perfect white teeth from between his rosy lips.
"Oh." Alec nodded his head and began to walk off but stopped himself. Suddenly Alec turned on his heel to come face to face with the doctor. " Why did she faint?" He asked curiously.
" That." Tom began. " Is up to Max to answer. Not me." With that Tom walked off to complete his rounds in the nearly empty hospital in T.C. (A/N: If you can really call it a hospital.).
Alec shook his head before turning in the direction he had originally intended to take. In the short time it had taken him to reach Max's hospital room he had deiced he didn't care why she had fainted. Anyways it wasn't his problem after all. Or was it?
He opened the door to see Max sitting up in bed. She seemed to glow with an eternal light. Her lush lips curved up into a brilliant smile, a real smile at that. Alec couldn't help but smile back.
" Hey Maxie." He said in a greeting.
" Hey yourself." She answered.
" While doc told me you were fine." Alec came to stand besides her cot like bed.
" Really he did?" Max asked with a sly curve to her lips.
' She's hiding something.' He thought. " What's wrong with ya?" He asked at once cutting to the chase. But Max wasn't gonna let him off so easily.
" I'm fine. Fit as a fiddle." Her smile turned to an all out smirk.
' She's having fun at my expense.' Alec thought and at once deciding he didn't like Max acting sarcastic. " Max."
" What?" She asked her smirk still there.
" What aren't you telling me?" He asked while sticking his hands in his pockets.
" You really want to know?" If Alec had looked closely at her eyes he would have seen the uncertainty and fear imbedded there. But he didn't look.
" Yes I really, really want to know." He watched, as she face grew serious. Max sight deeply.
" Sit." She commanded in a wary voice. Alec complied at once taking a seat on the edge of her bed. Max twisted her hands in knots as she searched for the words inside her head. Finally she just blurted it out. " I'm gonna have a baby." Alec's eyes grew from sock but he dared not let his mind wander just yet.
" Do you know who the father is?" Alec swallowed hard as Max nodded. He knew he had to ask and somewhere deep inside him he already knew the answer. " Who?"
" You." Max answered softly, just barely above a Manticore whisper. With that simple word the two were bound by a common cause. Alec's hand came to support his forehead.
" How far are you along?" He asked.
" About 6 weeks. Since my last heat I guess." Max blushed a little at mention of her heat cycle.
Alec's headshot up a haunted look filled his beautiful eyes. " Are you gonna keep it?" He asked. Max looked at him horrified. " That's a yes then." His face melted into a smile. " I'm gonna be a daddy." He said. 'A daddy.' He let the thought race through his mind and over all found it pleasing.
" Yep." Max said a smile on her face as well.
" We're gonna have a kid." Alec impulsively wrapped his arms around Max sealing her in a tight embrace. " We're gonna have a kid." He smiled from ear to ear.
" Yep." Max said in respond. At the moment her mind wasn't really working with him so close to her. " A little demon of our very own." She teased.
" What makes you think I'll be a demon?" He asked searching her eyes for an answer.
A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. " With you as a dad what else could it be?" She asked innocently. Alec pretended to think it over for a moment then shrugged his shoulders.
" Alec can you promise me one think right now?" Max asked after a moment of silence.
" Anything Maxie." Alec answered.
" Promise you'll always be there for me and the baby when it arrives."
" Max now did you really have to ask that?" His eyes betrayed him. Max knew he wasn't truly hurt at all.
" I guess not." An over whelming feeling to kiss him swelled up in Max and so she did just that. Max felt Alec stiffen against her as there lips meet but after a second she found him kissing her back with an equal amount of passion.
Tom looked at the scrawny man who entered the hospital in a huffy. At once he recognized the man as Logan the only normal human still in T.C.
" Where's Max?" He asked urgently. Tom eyed him not liking what he saw at all. Rumors told that Max had broken up with him but still the man didn't get it. Tom shook his head before answering.
" Down that hall there but Alec's already there." Tom called as Logan raced off as fast as his exoskeleton would let him. Logan barged into the room to find….
