CHAPTER: Famished.
Logan showed up shortly after with his Astek , they got in and remained silent.
" So how did you guys get out?" he said trying to break the silence.
" The owners came back," Alec said in a non-conversational tone.
" And they didn't kill you? How come?"
" It's a long story," Max said in the same tone.
Logan was not exactly the dumbest guy alive; he knew something happened between them. The last time Max was stock in a closet with Alec for an hour she hated it, now after being trapped with him in warehouse for an entire night she had nothing to say. " So the question is how are we going to get the weapons now?"
" I was thinking the same thing," Alec added.
" Well you guys could go back tonight before they clear out. They won't move all those weapons in broad day light."
" Well I could go back," Alec said.
" Max will have to with you because you might need cover incase you're caught."
" No she can't."
Logan didn't understand why Alec suddenly thought he was better off on a mission without Max, " Why not?"
" She just can't."
Logan looked at Max for input. "Max?"
"Well some of the X6s could go." Max said staring out the window. She couldn't go on these death missions anymore since she had someone else to take care of.
" I don't get it?" Logan was totally confused by their behavior. " Did you guys have a fight or something?"
" No," they said at the same time.
" Then what's all this about."
" All what?" Max was beginning to get annoyed by his nosiness. Why couldn't he just shut up and drive?
" The you can't go on a mission and no reason why."
" It's complicated."
" Everything about you guys is complicated so this can't be that different."
" You're not going to stop asking are you," Max said sighing.
" No." Logan rode into Terminal City. The blood he had from Joshua was still enabling him to breath in the air without getting sick. They walked out the car and headed into a building where they held meetings. Logan pulled out a chair and sat with his hands folded. " So are you going to tell me sometime this year."
Alec sat down too; he himself didn't know the whole story.
Max sat down and took a deep breath. " Well remember when I went to see Sandeman?"
He nodded.
" And remember that I told you that he didn't give me any new information."
He nodded again.
" I lied. He did tell me something. He told me what the runes on body really mean?"
Logan eyes opened wide, he knew some of what the runes said but they didn't make any sense. " What do they say?"
" They say that I'm going to have a child," she began. " And that the child will save the world or something."
"Wow, I guess I missed that part. When will you get pregnant?" the idea of a pregnant Max was kind of bizarre, he never pictured Max as a mother.
" I am."
" What? How?"
" How else?"
" Who's the father?" she didn't say anything. He looked at Alec. He twisted in the chair at the mention of father. That was enough for him to put it together. " Oh I see."
" He said that it was going to happen no matter what we did to stop it."
" I can't say that I ever expected this to happen?" Logan said getting up, " Are you Ok Max?"
" I'm fine." She was fine but she wasn't too sure about Alec he was silent the whole time.
" So all this happened in the warehouse?"
Max didn't say anything.
" Kind of kinky if you ask me," he said laughing after. He still couldn't believe that Max was pregnant for Alec of all people. He couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealously but he had Asha to think about, it wouldn't fair if didn't give his full attention to her. He noticed Alec stiffness and decided to be nice to him for a change, " So my little boy's becoming a man."
Alec finally managed to smile. He thought Logan would have been in his face, he wasn't expecting this reaction. " Watch your mouth old man."
" You can go back to being silent now." Logan said.
" Have you found out anything about the runes on his body?"
" Oh yeah, we haven't gotten anywhere yet, but I guess that what it's about your little bundle of joy." He got up and stretched his arms, " Max what made you choose Alec to be the father."
" Well it had to be him, Sandeman said he was made for me," she said smiling at Alec. Alec looked up and smiled at her in return.
" And I always thought his existence was unnecessary." Now he understood why he and Max never had their moment, she was destine to be with someone else and he was destine to be with Asha.
" Well you were wrong," he said dryly. He wanted Logan to leave so he could talk to Max alone.
" Well I'm going to see if Cindy needs any help with the organization of the rally."
" Did he agree?" Max asked referring to Tenga's husband.
" Yes he said he would do anything to help the cause."
She nodded and smiled. She was so glad that everything was coming together.
Shortly after Logan left and Max and Alec were alone. She sat next to him. He reached out for her hand. " Are you scared?" he asked looking at her slouching on the chair.
" Terrified," she said resting her head on his shoulder, " I'm also tired and hungry."
" Well let's go home and get you something to eat."
" Alec."
" Yeah," he said watching in her eyes.
" Can you move in with me?"
He kissed her, " Do I love you?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They entered the room where Max stayed, it used to be a mini mart. She took this because it had a freezer. She took a seat on her sleeping bag.
" We need to get you a real bed."
" This is good," she said showing him the supposed thickness of it.
" It's not good enough for you."
She gestured for him to join her. He rapped his hands around her, he felt moving in her stomach again. " Max I feel moving in there."
" Yeah I'm really hungry."
He got up and took some food out of the freezer and microwaved it with one of microwaves that were in the store before. He gave it to her and she ate it down in a hurry manner. " You're really hungry huh?" he had never seen some one eat like that. She ate like she hadn't eaten in months.
"Yeah, famished actually."
" You want anything else?"
" Yeah, can you bring the left over pizza."
She ate that down too, faster that before. She didn't bother to let him get anything else. She raided the fridge herself. She looked for anything edible and ate it cold when it was possible. Pretty soon there was nothing in fridge except an apple.
" Max are you Ok," he asked looking at her like she was going to eat him too.
" I'm fine now, just a little thirsty."
He ran out and returned with a bottle of cold water. She drank it down quickly. " Wow! I didn't know I could eat so much."
" I didn't know it was possible to eat so much."
" I was just really hungry."
" Max that was not normal. Not even for a transgenic."
NOTE: Didn't I tell you it was going to get crazy?
Logan reacted that way because I just didn't want to have to write about Logan, I don't really want to write too much on anyone's point of view except Max and Alec's. If Logan was bothered by it, it would require me to write how he felt and that would just be wasting my time. I'm not the biggest Logan fan Okay.
So you're wondering why she's eating so much. Well I copied Xena a bit. This baby is going to come fast, really fast. I will explain it when it comes.
I am going to go trough hell with these other chapters. First the delivery of the Baby. Oh can you all tell me where it should happen. (In TC or a Hospital)
Then the fighting is going to be a challenge.
There's going to be some plot twist coming up. I am sure you all will be surprised.
The ending of the story will also be difficult to write.
