CHAPTER: The Beginning



Max and Alec had been trapped in the warehouse for more than three hours now. Alec's cell phone had no signal and the after shock of the earthquake caused even more things to fall over the exit. They decided to make themselves comfortable by laying one of the blankets on the floor under the table. " Did anyone know we were coming here?" Alec asked Max looking at her. She had been so silent, she had her hands wrapped around her legs and he chin on her knees.

"No," she said softly. " What time is it?" she asked still not looking at him.

"It's ten minutes to twelve," he said watching her. He wished that she would say something or at least look at him. " Max."

" Yeah," she said still not looking at him. She knew this was it, this was where it would happen.

"Look at me."

She turned to face him and something about the way he looked at her made her want to break down in his arms. She leant her head on him and sighed.

" Can we talk?" he asked putting his arms around her. " I mean if you want to."

"I'm so afraid," she aid with a single tear running down her face.

" Tell me what it is and I'll make it better for you," he said stroking her playing with her hair. That's all he wanted to do, make her feel better. He didn't want to see her in pain, sad or worried, he just wanted to see her smile more often.

She held on to his shirt and cried in his chest. " You can't fix this. I don't want you to fix this"

" Max what are you talking about,"

She looked into his eyes; she wanted him more than she ever thought she would. " Alec how do you feel about me."

He didn't move his eyes away from hers. He wanted to see them, to know what she was asking. " What do you mean?"

" I mean how do you feel about me," she said not taking her eyes off his.

This was he had been waiting for, a chance to tell Max how he felt about her, he wanted this for so long and now that he got it he wasn't sure what to say. " I.I."

"Oh no." she said putting her had in her hands to cover her face. " I can't do this," she whispered.

" What is it that you can't do?"

"This." She said pointing at herself and then to Alec. " Alec I didn't tell you the whole truth."

" What truth," he asked. He pulled her closer.

" Sandeman told me something else."

He remained silent and looked at her waiting for an answer.

" He said," she took a deep breath. " Alec we're supposed to have a child."

She waited for it. He didn't say any thing he just kept holding her.

" Say something," she said.

" I guess we realy are breathing partners." He said laughing lightly. She laughed too. So many questions were rushing through his mind, so much he wanted to know but he couldn't ask he couldn't put her through that she had been trough so much keeping it to herself " About that question." She looked and waited for his answer. " I have loved you since you kicked me in the stomach," he whispered in her ear

She began to cry. She didn't know why she was crying but that's all she could do. " Gosh, I hate the way you make me feel. I love so much it hurts to look not to be with you "

" Come on Maxie, don't cry," he said wiping away her tears. He kissed her softly on her forehead. " I don't like to see you cry."

" I don't like to cry," she said falling into his arms.

"Well stop crying." He said kissing her on her face and kept kissing her moving slowly towards he lips.

When it happened it almost seemed like time was waiting for it. She let him have her. It was going to happen anyway so why fight it she thought.
