It was so quiet and peaceful. It seemed like trouble could never find them now they were hidden away from it. She could hear Logan's rhythmic breathing as he slept beside her, her Logan, her husband. She loved the sound of that and whispered it quietly to herself as she stroked his cheek softly with her hand "my husband" they were probably some of the best words ever spoken. It was exactly 24 hours after the wedding. They had the ceremony and a small party after all in their penthouse.
They stayed the night in their place and early the next morning left for his family's cabin, where they had shared so much, from their first kiss, to his proposal. They had planned to spend four day's there away from everything. Logan had told Bling that they 'were only to be disturbed if it was a matter of life or death'. Max added in 'an important persons life or death' nothing was to interrupt her honeymoon. Logan was content just to see his angel so happy, and felt pride like none he had ever known because he was one of the reasons for her being so happy. And Logan knew he would never forget the way she looked as she promised to love him for the rest of her life. And in that moment he knew the true meaning of joy.
Max had thought that she would be nervous. But waking the morning of her wedding she didn't feel nervous or worried at all she knew she was doing the right thing.
"OC come on get up I need help getting ready."
"Max did you sleep at all last night?" OC mumbled still half asleep. Max had spent the night in her old room, Johndy was going to come over and help them get ready in two hours but Max couldn't wait to get a start on her wedding day.
"To excited to sleep get up."
"Fine I'm up, I'm up." Cindy staggered to her feet and made her way into the kitchen where the aroma of real coffee greeted her. "Mmmmm real coffee, you brought this Max?"
"Logan set up a little package so we would have breakfast all ready in the morning, there is some home-made Danish in that bag over there too.
"Damn that boy takes good care of you."
"I know."
"Ok what do you say we heat up some water so you can take a hot bath, I even got some bath salts you can use." OC started planning there morning, "Then you can eat while I shower quick. We can do our hair and make up then we put on your gown and get over there so you can make that boy yours."
"Yes ma'am" Max said giving a mock salute and starting the pots of water boiling. They had picked up some extra hotplates so it wasn't long before Max was soaking in the nice hot tub. She had just finished washing her hair when the phone interrupted her peace. "Hello?" "Max" "Hey." "Hey yourself, I wish I was there with you. I missed you last night, I was all lonely." "Me too, I cant wait for this afternoon. How are you feeling?" "Like I'm eight years old and it is Christmas-eve. What about you are you getting nervous." "It's weird I thought that I would have this pit in my stomach and this urge to run away, but I just cant wait. I love you Logan." "I love you too Max." Logan heard the noise of the water moving "Are you in the tub." "Yeah I wanted to take a nice relaxing swim in the tub this morning instead of just a shower." "Now I really wish I was there with you." Max could hear Logan grinning as he spoke." "Well you will just have to wait for tonight." Max broke out into a huge grin herself, "Cause tonight is our honeymoon." "I can't wait to marry you." "Me too. But now I got to go get ready see you later." "Bye angel." "Bye honey." Max set the phone to the side of the tub, and descended under the water.
"Damn boo, I see why he calls you angel, all you need now is the wings sugar." "You think Logan will really like it?" Max asked looking at herself in the mirror. Her hair was pulled up with a few little curls falling in front framing her face. She had wanted to cover the barcode with makeup, but Logan had said he would prefer if she didn't for the ceremony, he didn't want her to hide who she was in any way as they became husband and wife. She decided it would be fine for the ceremony, she would have the vial on. But then she would put makeup to cover it for the party afterwards. Her makeup was perfectly done and she had on the veil and dress and she was wearing the locket. She did look like an angel. "original Cindy's not even hearing that Boo, you know you look good." "She does, she's just fishing for compliments." Johndy said as she walked in from the bathroom where she had been fixing her hair. "I guess she deserves them you know it's supposed to be 'her day' " She added sarcastically using air quotes. "Shut up." Max said in a teasing tone. "You know I'm teasing you baby sister." "Wait I thought Max was older?" OC asked confused. "Why did you call her baby sister. "That's what we all call each other." Max stated casually. "We don't know who is older then whom, so we all look out for each other and we are always the older sister to the other. She is like my baby sister, and I am hers."
"Except for Krit and Syl, they never called each other brother and sister, and now they have special names for one another." Johndy said with a suggestive tone. "You know where Krit and Syl are?" Max asked completely missing the point. "Yeah and I know where Zane is too, but don't tell big brother he has no idea some of us stayed in touch." Just then Max realized exactly what she had been told about Krit and Syl. "You mean Krit and Syl are together?" Max asked incredulously. "What about Zane is he with anyone? How is everyone? Do you see each other often?" Came Max's rapid-fire questions. "Zane has a boyfriend named Todd, those are the only three I know and they are doing good, we talk every once in a while but that is pretty much it we haven't all gotten together in over three years it is hard because we cant have Zack catch us or Mantiore." Johndy answered all at once. "And I will have them give you a call so you can catch up when you are back from the honey moon I promise baby sister, but for now just concentrate on making it through the day." Johndy said her face softening. Max's face grew into a huge smile as she thought about it. She turned and looked at herself all ready to go. "I'm gonna marry Logan today." "Then let's go, our chariot awaits." OC said. Logan had wanted to get Max a limo but that would have drawn too much attention, so Zack had come over to pick them up in Logan's Aztec. The girl hurried out to the car Zack actually held the door open for Max to get in. Before she did she turned and hugged him. "Thanks for staying" she whispered in his ear. "You look beautiful." He whispered back helping her into the car without getting the train dirty. The ride over to the penthouse was silent at first. "So how was Logan this morning?" Max asked unable to hold in her curiosity. "Annoying he spent all morning rushing around wanting everything to be perfect he is way to excited." Zack said exasperated. He looked over at the bride to see that she had the same goofy grin that the groom had been wearing all morning. A few minutes later Max and OC were waiting out in the hall of the penthouse waiting to go in. Zack had gone in a minute before with Johndy and finally Zack came out to get them. OC went in first and walked down the makeshift isle that had been set up between the three small rows of chairs. Zack took Max's arm and slowly led her through the door. In that instant she walked in it hit her. That panic, the training that told her to run, it hit her hard and she held onto Zack's arm hard her mind screaming at her about the dangers of emotional ties. Looking up though she saw Logan, he was dressed in a black suit with a metallic gray tie. For once he was clean shaven and it made his smile even more incredible. As soon as she saw him all doubts all fears left as quickly as they came, she smiled back and mouthed I love you on there short walk down the isle. Zack kissed her cheek and let her go taking his seat next to Johndy. Behind Max stood OC and behind Logan, Bling. Max saw none of it though. She didn't see the flowers or her family or friends or Father Dextry waiting to Marry them all she could see was Logan. In that moment no matter what happened she knew her life was complete, she was complete.
Logan watched as his angel appeared in the doorway. He knew until his dying day he would never find a site more beautiful then this angel walking towards him mouthing that she loved him. Logan found what he hadn't known he had been searching for his entire life.
From that point on it was almost unreal for both of them. It all went by in a blur they had the ceremony and a dinner and people ate and danced Bling, OC, and Zack made toasts. And although Max could recite every word of every toast, or tell you exactly what happened, she still felt like it hadn't really happened to her that she had seen it all or that it was a story she heard. Logan for years to come when asked about his wedding day the first thing he would say was "Max was so beautiful."
Now they were waking up together for the first time as husband and wife. Life finally came back into focus for the both of them.
"What are you doing?" Logan murmured as he woke
"Watching you sleep, memorizing this moment. Have I mentioned that I love you?"
"Once or twice." Logan said with a smile
"Well I do you know" Max said in a quite voice.
"I know."
"I mean I really love you."
"Oh" He finally realized what she was trying to say.
"There was that one part of me that always wished I was just a normal girl, you know friends, family, happily married with some kids, no black helicopter guys. I realized a long time ago that I will never really have that I will never be normal, but this is just so much better then what I had wanted in the first place." Max grinned and kissed him content to be in his arms.
"I know what you mean. For me all I can think is that no matter what happens it will be all right, because I'm with you."
It was so quiet and peaceful. It seemed like trouble could never find them now they were hidden away from it. She could hear Logan's rhythmic breathing as he slept beside her, her Logan, her husband.
