Note: I know, it took me about ten months to get this out, but I have
finally been inspired to continue this. If things go as I hope for
(although they usually don't) this story should be completed by September.
Enjoy the long awaited chapter ten. I also lost a lot since my hard drive
crashed, so if I didn't use the names you suggested, don't take it
personally; it's just that I lost everything when it crashed.
Note on story: It picks up from the next day.
Chapter Ten
Alec opened his eyes. It was finally morning. He stood up and stretched, not remembering coming into the hospital room where Max was. He rubbed his eyes one final time to find Max out of the bed. Where did she go?
He started walking to the doorway but was stopped when Max appeared.
"Where were you?"
"I was signing some forms. I didn't want to wake you up."
"You had me worried. Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, everything is great. I loved your present."
"I thought you would," he said with a grin.
"I'll have to give you something in return," she said with a seductive grin.
Alec grinned wildly. "Can't wait to see what."

The Following Morning
Max was sitting on the couch reading a book while Alec watched television.
"Alec."
"Yeah."
"We should start thinking of a name for the baby."
"But we have six months and we still don't know if it's going to be a boy or girl," he said without looking away from the television.
"Alec!"
"Fine, fine." He turned off the television and turned to face Max.
"Damn hormones," he thought to himself.
"Alright, now what."
"Have you thought about names at all?" she asked him.
"Yeah, I've thought of quite a few."
"Then give me your top three."
"For a boy: Alec Jr., Alexander, or Ben. For a girl: Alexis, Alexandra, or...I can't think of any more."
"You're so conceited."
"What are you talking about?"
"Everyone of those names - except Ben - sounds almost the same as Alec."
"So? What were you thinking?"
"Hayden, Ryan, or Ethan for a boy and Catherine, Brooke, or Sydney for a girl."
"I like your names better," he said.
"Which ones are your favorites?"
"Brooke and Hayden, but I'm still for the Alec Jr."
Max laughed and Alec smiled.
"So how was everyone that night at the hospital?"
"Everyone left by eleven except for Zack. Which reminds me...he saw someone that he thinks was at Manticore."
"Who?"
"Some kid. He met him somewhere and he told Zack that you had news, so he came looking for you. It's probably why I found them so easily."
"Does he think he's dangerous?"
"Zack thinks he knows something about you that we don't, which could be dangerous."
Just then the phone rang.
