6.
Alec stared down at the small disc in his hand curiously. He looked up at Max as she covered the disc with her own hand, she wouldn't meet his eyes.
"Alec.I want you to know that I.I understand whatever desiscion you make." She said quietly and then left.
Alec was even more baffled and looked over to Tommy. "I better go with her.my uh son is with O.C.nice to meet ya." Tommy grinned and then left.
Alec sat at his computer for several minutes before he got up the courage to put the disc into the computer, and when he did, he wasn't all that surprised. He was disgusted with Manticore.but it did seem like something they would do.and the way Max had acted with him when he had gotten the disc had only added to his suspician.he was the father of Max's babies.
He packed and unpacked his bags at least 10 times before he decided to go to the space needle to think.these were the lives of his babies, he couldn't make any rash decisions.
It was pouring down when he got there, so he stayed inside, looking down at his feet as he thought.that's when Max came and hugged him. It was the first kind gesture she or anyone had ever shown towards him. He had been with many women but like him, all they had wanted was sex. They didn't care for him, and until now, he had never thought that Max had cared at all for him. He couldn't help it, he cried.
He was embarrassed at crying in front of her, but he knew she understood.
They fell to the floor where she hugged him tight against her chest, and he sobbed. Small tears trickled down Max's cheeks also and for a while they just sat there comforting each other, before Alec spoke.
"They'd hate me Max!" he whispered quietly. "All I've ever really known is Manticore.I'm not good with kids like you."
Max pulled away and he roughly brushed the tears from his cheeks.
"I understand." She said simply and got up to go.
Alec grabbed her hand and stopped her. "No.you don't.all I'm saying, is that I'll need your help. I can't leave.I don't want to leave, they're mine.wherever they are, I want to be.but you have to help me in this, and I'll help you." He looked deep into her chocolate brown eyes, and smile at the relief that was clearly shown there.
Max moistened her lips. "Are you sure?"
Alec grinned his trade-mark grin, no trace of his earlier indesision nor of his crying obvious.
"Hell yes!" He said, and squeezed her hand as they slowly walked out of the space needle.together.
