CHAPTER: Surprise
Max and Alec were on their way home from the hospital a day later. She didn't want to stay there too long. Logan had come to pick them up. " So who named her," Logan asked.
" Alec did," Max, said looking down at her. She was as small as she was the day before.
" I wonder what her barcode says," Logan said.
It had totally slipped their minds to check for a barcode. She lifted her in the air and Alec checked the back of her neck. "So---" Max said waiting for an answer.
" There isn't a barcode"
" What, how come?"
" Well Gem's baby didn't have a barcode. So maybe when two transgenic have children maybe they don't turn out transgenic." Logan suggested pulling into the entrance to TC.
" Wait a Minuit Logan, stop the car." Alec quickly said. " If she's not transgenic then she can't breath in this air." Logan reversed quickly before too many fumes were exposed.
" How is she supposed to save the world if she's not transgenic."
" Well she has to be something, she was growing pretty fast." Logan said.
" This complicates things a little. Where is supposed to go, if she can't stay here with us where will she stay?"
" Well I guess she could stay with me." Logan suggested. " I won't mind at all."
" Logan she needs us now, we can't just leave her with you."
" Well is there any other option?"
As much as Alec loved Belle, he knew Logan was right. There was no other way. " He's right Max."
" Okay," she said holding her firmly.
"Besides today is the rally, things are going to get pretty heated after that. It's not safe for her to be in TC." Logan began to drive in the direction of his apartment.
" That's true," she said. " How is the rally coming along anyway?"
" The last I heard was that Cindy decided to change in into a press conference. It will still get the message cross."
"And that way no lives would be at risk." Alec said.
Logan drive to up to a checkpoint. The officer stopped the car. He pushed his head inside and looked at Max and Alec in the back seat. He glanced back to Logan who was beginning to sweat a little. He wondered if they took his advice and got it removed.
The officer glared at him. " Let me see the back of your neck sir." Logan exposed his neck to officer. " Hmm okay then." He looked at Max and Alec in the back seat. Max raised her hair and exposed her neck. " Okay. Now you," he said to Alec. Alec turned around. He gave them signal to go.
Logan drove off and let out a sigh. " That was close."
" Yeah," Max agreed. She was getting a little tired of being asked to show her neck. She wondered what they would do to her if her barcode were exposed. " We used a the laser just before you came to get us. I thought the redness would have given it away." She stoked her baby's head lightly as she slept. At least she wouldn't know fear every time she was asked to do that.
Logan pulled up to his apartment. They got out of the car and followed him in. When they walked in Asha was in front of the TV watching the closing up of the press conference. " So how was it?"
" I think they got the point across." She said standing up. She looked over to Max and Alec. " What's that," she said pointing to the ball blankets in Max's hands.
" Logan didn't tell you?" Max said looking at him. " I have a baby, a girl, her name if Belle."
" Where did you get her?" She said going over to observe her. " She so cute, but she kind of looks like Alec though."
Max gave a light chuckle, " that's because she is Alec's."
She looked over at Alec, " So you have Max taking care of your mistake?
His jaw dropped, " she is not a mistake and F-Y-I Max is the mother."
She looked at Max. Wow it was true. She was confused, " Okay can someone please tell me when and how." She didn't even know Max and Alec were dating much less making children.
" Logan I can't believe you didn't tell her."
" I'm sorry I just forgot, I've been pretty busy with those runes."
" I'm still confused here." Asha said looking at them. " When was this child made?"
" Last night," Alec said.
" I saw Max two weeks ago she didn't look very pregnant."
" That's because I wasn't. I only got pregnant four days ago."
" What?"
" Long story," Alec said.
" Okay then," she said sitting back down. " I never thought I would see the day when you two were raising a baby."
" Well life is full of surprises." Max said. " Some are better than others." Her falling in love with Alec was definitely one of the better ones but the best was Alec falling in love with her.
NOTE: I promise something will happen in the next chapter. I will also post another chapter this week. I've been really neglecting this story.
