Hey, I'm really not sure about this chapter. A friend helped me out, a lot.
But I want to hear what you all have to say! So please, please review!!
Help me out here!!
CHAPTER 5
"What are they doing here?" Max demanded.
"We decided to go looking for our parents." Kam told him.
"Michael." Max looked at him.
"I have no clue on this." Michael responded.
"Call Izzy." Max told Liz.
"No!" Josh and Kam said.
"Why not, her daughter is here right?" Max looked at the two guys.
"You get Isabel here and you'll be responsible for three deaths do you hear me?" Kam told him.
"Why?" Max looked.
"Alex isn't ready to see her." Josh said.
"I'm confused here." Max looked around the room.
"Trust them." Maria told Max.
"Maria, this is Isabel, she should be here." Liz said.
"No, they're right, Alex can't handle more. We'll call Iz when she's ready." Maria looked at Josh as she said that. They heard something move around upstairs. Kam and Josh looked at each other.
"I am not going to lay down like some... I hell I don't know, but I'm not doing it." Alex mumbled as she walked down stairs but suddenly stopped as she saw the others. " Oh shit. Am I dreaming?" None of them answered her question.
"Back to bed!" Josh ordered her
"What? You think you're the boss of me? Think again, ass wipe." Alex was moody.
"You'll kill yourself." Josh said.
"No I won't." Alex laughed.
"You want to fight on this?" Josh looked at her, an eyebrow raised
"You think I'm going to miss the family reunion? Hell no. I'm going to sit and enjoy myself." Alex smiled at him.
"Alex, get upstairs!" Kam told her.
"Oh no. Dear cousin, no. See we decided to do this and I'm apart of this. I'm a big girl just, because of your damn fears, which might I add all three of us seem to have, so I'm gonna watch you two..." Josh cut her off.
"You're not arguing with me!" Josh yelled sounding like his father.
"I'm not going to lay up there like I'm dead" Alex yelled then paled. "Oh god" she whispered as she collapsed on the ground
"Shit." Josh gasped as ran over to her.
"Alex, oh god." Kam said concerned on her other side.
"What's wrong with her?" Liz asked as the four just watched Kam and Josh.
"She's to stressed." Josh said looking at Kam.
"The baby can't handle this." Kam told Josh. "Alex, look at me. Come on." Kam was saying.
"Dammit Seth should be back here." Josh said.
"Carry her upstairs." Kam told Josh.
"Come on, baby." Josh picked her up and went upstairs. The three went upstairs leaving the parents there.
"Oh god. What just happened?" Liz asked.
"Alex isn't doing to well." Maria said. " It's normal." Maria told Max. For the first time since they got there Liz looked away from Kam to Maria.
" How?" Liz asked her best friend. Maria was quiet. This was all new and she didn't know how to take it.
" She's pregnant." Josh answered coming back down stairs. Josh looked up from his hands to see Maria staring at him. From her pictures he could see where she aged. How her eyes had lines tugging at them from her stress. Her blonde hair had small grey strands that were pretty well hidden by the mass of blonde. Her blue eyes were darker compared to the pictures, almost faded. A smile was there as Maria looked back at him. He was an exact version of his father. The crazy brown hair that always was a mess in the morning. His eyes were the ocean, the perfect mixture of blue and green. They were both Michael and Maria's eyes rolled into one. He laughed more than Michael though. Maybe he got that from me Maria thought. He was caring, compassionate, and in love. Her son got everything out of life that she ever
wanted for him except he never had gotten to know her or Michael. His wanting to know where he was from and who his parents were was definitely a Michael characteristic. Max didn't even think before he asked.
" Who's the father?" Not only did their children just find them, but his sister's daughter. His niece was pregnant. Josh closed his eyes. Admitting it to himself was hard enough but telling people who are you parents, Alex's parents and Kam's parents. It doubles that courage by 20. Josh didn't have a choice. Alex and him made their choice 2 years ago when they decided to show their feelings to each other. Now they had to deal with the hard part.
" I am." Josh said quietly. Max was shocked. Shocked speechless was an understatement at that moment. Now not only was it Alex, it was Josh two. Max again didn't think before asking.
" How about you. You have anything to tell?" Max looked at Kam. Now Kam was mad, seeing his parents for the first time, ever. His father is already accusing things.
" Your joking right?" Kam looked at Josh next to him. For the first time in his life Kam knew things couldn't get worst. The day Josh got scared or worried was when the world came crashing down.
" Max." Liz gave Max a stern look. Liz had learned over the years, being rational was completely over. So she took it upon herself to do it.
" Oh no. This coming from the man that slept with a killer." Kam had to throw something out there. Out of everything he knew about his parents it was the only stupid mistake made. All four were shocked. Josh just listened; he knew how Kam hated knowing his parents were perfect. And when Seth showed up, Kam felt lied to. All three of them felt lied to. Alex realized she was named after her mother's first love that was killed by her cousin's mother. It was twisted, and neither Josh nor Kam were afraid to state it. They knew Alex would if she wasn't upstairs lying helpless in that bed. So they were going to do that for him.
" You don't know anything about that." Max told him.
" Oh really. It's pretty simple Max. You said you loved my mother instead you sleep with her best friend's and your sister's first love's killer. I never knew I had a brother out there. It wasn't until not even a month ago he walks into that Crashdown. He didn't even get to hear about your bullshit, he got nothing, just a few memories of you and Tess. So tell me how it's different." Kam stood up. He was to frustrated to sit there.
" Kam." Josh pleaded.
" Oh no. Don't you start; at least Amy didn't feed you bullshit. Valenti covered up those lies, to save your sorry ass." Kam looked at Max. For once in Kam's life he got to speak his mind to his father.
" You don't understand." Max stood up to be eye level with Kam.
" Then explain it. For once give me the truth. Be the father I always needed." Kam was cold. Liz winced at those words.
" She tricked me." Max began to say.
" Can't save your ass, now can you Max." Kam wasn't backing down.
" Kam, don't do this." Josh made Kam look at him.
" You deal with your parents your way. I'll deal with mine." Kam's voice was determined.
" Kam, your better than this." Josh had to get through to him.
" You heard him." Max said not looking away from Kam.
" I'm trying to help you out here." Josh explained.
" If I needed your help I would ask." Max answered.
" Ok, well it's obvious were you get you stubbornness from Kam." Josh said before going up to check on Alex. Kam looked at him. Alex always said to them that ' we try not to be our parents but we are already them, so raise above that.'
" Just realize this Max. I was lead to believe something my whole life and even that little hope that I had been stripped of me. So don't think I'll go respecting you, because I may never will." With that Kam walked outside.
"We never expected this." Max said.
"No, we sure didn't." Michael said shaking his head. He still couldn't believe his son was here.
"They need us and we can't turn them down. We won't turn them down" Maria sighed. Max and Michael headed upstairs. When they walked in they saw Josh helping Alex.
"Josh!" Alex screamed.
"It's alright. You'll be fine don't worry. Shhhh." Josh said trying to comfort her
"What can I do?" Max asked while walking to Kam.
"Just help me, give her strength. She's getting so weak. It's not like Alex to be so weak." Josh said.
"Josh, the baby." Alex said as she began to cry
"Stay calm. It's okay." Josh said soothingly
"Alex look at me." Max said. Without wanting to tear her eyes from Josh's she looked at Max. He was so much of Kam, he was so caring and she could see how much he loved her. He never knew her but he was her uncle. Max formed the connection. He got flashes from Alex.

They all headed downstairs to give Josh and Alex privacy. "Is she alright?" Liz asked.
"She should be okay for awhile." Max sat next to Liz. Michael went over by Maria. "You three are good together." Max said.
"Well when we are all each others got, we learned how to survive." Kam laughed for moment before continuing." Just those two in love gives our life excitement."
"What about you. Is there any love?" Liz asked.
"Nicole is on her way here. Her and Meredith stayed at the hotel, Seth went to get them." Kam said.
"Who's Seth?" Max asked.
"Your son." Kam looked Max in the eye.
"But he was..." Max tried to say.
"He found us a couple of weeks ago. Meredith and him are getting married." Kam said.
"Are Alex and Josh getting married?" Maria asked. Kam laughed.
"No telling with those two. They live life as it comes, they don't plan nothing." Kam said.
***** Josh & Alex *****
"Josh, look at me." Alex told him. He listened to her. Tears were falling from his eyes. Alex took her finger and gently wiped them it away.
"I love you." She told him. Taking her hands into his, her brought hers up to his lips and left a little kiss.
"I love you so much." Josh then brought his hands to her face. " Please, you can't go all crazy. I need you calm and safe." He begged her.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She whispered.
**** To the others *****
Kam didn't like being there with the four all by himself. He did what he always did, day dreamed about the past.
**** Memory *****
"Come on, you two." Alex teased. She was only 15 and was better at basketball.
"Alex, you beat us be happy." Kam told her.
"Come here." Josh said to her. He gave her a kiss. It was when their love was new, and
those little moments were what started their amazing love.
"I have work boys." She laughed at the two. She was young and carefree then. She could make both Josh and Kam's day with her jokes and ability to enjoy life. She was their best friend. That time also was just before Amy got sick and a day at the Crashdown was full of surprises.
"Girls night Alex." Amy told her.
"You two will never quit." Kam laughed. They laughed so much more than.
"Hey, I get away from two, it's heaven." Alex sighed putting a hand to her forehead dramatically.
"I thought I was heaven?" Josh questioned.
"Oh baby, don't worry you are." Alex started laughing and poured a glass of cherry coke on him.
**** End of memory****
"You their Kam?" Maria asked.
"No, I'm not." Kam told her.
"Where were you?" Liz asked. What Kam hated was there were four of them to face.
"Three almost four years ago, Josh, Alex and I played basketball ever Saturday. And every time Alex beat Josh and me. It was she and Amy's movie night. The one night Alex would get rid of Josh and me. The three of us did everything. It was when their feelings for each other began to grow. They were amazing, when Amy got sick. We all took it hard. Josh was pretty bad, he... completely lost it. Fell off the wagon, as Valenti put it. He got drunk
a lot, and him and Alex fought. She stuck it out though. She wouldn't let go; I think losing another person she loved was too much. She was a tough one and never stops amazing Josh and me." He sighed and shook his head. "I can't do this." Kam got up to go out.
"We never did change did we?" Josh was at the stairs. Kam turned around to face him.
"Josh." Kam said.
"Look Kam. We've been down this route before. We have bigger problems now." Josh said.
"Just tell me, is she going to be fine?" Kam begged.
"She will. She'll be the last one standing." Josh tried to joke.
"Hey, how's Alex doing?" Seth came through the door.
"Where the hell have you been?" Josh asked angry
"Took a little longer than expected. How is she doing?" Seth asked.
"Better." Josh told him.
"Miss me?" Nicole asked Kam.
"Oh yeah." Kam told her as they hugged
"Oh, yeah? How much." Nicole teased. Kam began kissing her. Josh rolled his eyes at them.
"Don't worry they can't beat you and Alex." Seth told Josh.
"Shut up." Kam warned. Seth stopped when he saw Max.
"Where's Meredith?" Josh asked.
"Someone finally noticed. I had to get some things out of the car." Meredith came walking in.
"Shouldn't we be introduced?" Max asked. The five stopped and looked at him.
"Nicole, Meredith and Seth." Kam pointed to each one.
"So Alex is alright?" Nicole turned to Josh.
"She should be fine." Josh answered.
"Where is she?" Nicole asked. Josh pointed upstairs. "Do you mind?" Nicole asked.
"No, take Meredith with you." Josh told her. The two girls went upstairs.
"Tell me she'll be able to play. I would love to see her beat you two again." Seth joked. Kam and Josh laughed at that.
