Disclaimer: I don't own them, but hey when I get enough maybe I can buy them.

AN: Okay so its 3: 46 A.M. and I could not sleep so decided to write. The story and plot line is still fresh in my mind, so it is a lot easier to write these chapters. The story is starting to get to the breaking point when it will switch to a shippy M/L fic. I hope you enjoy this. Please read and review. Thanks for reading. Enjoy.

I desprately need reviews. I only recieved one for the last chapter, and its rather discouraging. I will continue writing this but if I don't get reviews it will take longer for me to update. Please review.

Special Thanks to: Jade-Tessier, your encouragement has helped greatly. Also to my friends Sammy, Amy, and Crystal. Thanks guys

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Logan sat next to Max lightly caressing her hand. He hated the fact that she needed him the most right now, but he couldn't do a thing for her.

"Logan, please don't go. Logan, I'm so sorry. Please don't...I-I love you." Logan couldn't believe his ears. Max was mumbling things in her sleep. He caressed her face and whispered soothingly to her.

"Max, it's okay. I'm right here and I won't leave. I promise. I love you too Max." Logan smiled down at Max as she turned towards him and smiled in her sleep.

Original Cindy opened the door to find Alec holding two baby carriers and two toddlers.

"Damn boo, you get busy fast." Original Cindy said as she moved to allow them in.

"Very funny OC, but I really need your help." Alec put the carriers on the table and walked back to where Joey and Stephanie were pushing each other.

"Stop it you two." Immediately Stephanie placed her hands on her hips and glared at her brother. Joey smiled shyly up at Alec and OC.

"I need you to watch the kids for a little. Do you mind?" Alec was near pleading.

"That's fine boo, but I need to know who these cute kids are and who they belong to." OC grabbed a cup of coffee from the counter and walked to where the two infants lay still strapped in their car seats.

"Well, okay remember how Manticore was off doing their thing with embryos and in-vetro work?"

"Yea. What about it?"

"Well, they are all products of Manticore, but there is a catch." Alec sighed and grabbed Joey and Stephanie's hand, and led them to the couch.

"And that would be?"

"I'm getting there. The thing is...See Stephanie and Joey here are well...They are made up of another X5's DNA and well mine as well. Now, the baby there in the blue jumper, he is made up of Max and Logan's DNA."

Original Cindy took in a deep breath, "You gotta be kidding me!"

"Not one bit."

"Dayum they gonna have cute kids." She smiled and pulled him out of the car seat he was still in.

"This is deep stuff boo. OC will watch these lil boo's fo a lil while, but ya gotta tell me where you gonna be at."

"Well, I have to go into Terminal City, and well I didn't want to expose the kids to anything that they shouldn't be."

"Okay boo, but ya betta hurry. OC's gotta get to crash by ten."

Alec smiled and nodded his agreement.

"Stephanie, Joey you both have to listen to aunty OC okay? And behave. I'll be back in a little while."

Joey and Stephanie nodded in unison.

Max woke to find Logan dozing in a chair next to her. His hand still encased hers. Max could tell from the position that Logan was in that he had been waiting for a long time, and that his neck would be hurting when he woke.

She smiled slyly, "Logan." She shook his hand slightly.

"Huh? What? Max are you...ooh." He stopped in the middle of his interrogation, and rubbed his neck.

Max laughed heartily at the way Logan's face had contorted.

"You did that on purpose didn't you?"

"You poor thing."

Logan smiled, but it quickly faded and he turned serious.

"Max are you okay? Those seizures were really bad this time."

"Logan, they weren't that bad." She squeezed his hand reassuringly.

"I'm serious Max, I was really worried." He was starting to get angry, not at Max, but at their situation.

"Logan, I'm serious too." Max smiled, she could tell he was frustrated, and tried to assure him.

"Damn it Max, I don't like seeing you so helpless, and I can't help you." Logan shrugged and his head fell slightly.

"Logan, look at me Logan." Max pulled on Logan's hand and made him look at her. "You are the only person in the world that helps me. You may never understand just how much you help me. Even though you can't physically touch me, you do mentally and emotionally."

Logan was stunned by Max's revelation, in fact it even took Max aback.

Logan kept eye contact with Max, staring deep into her chocolate depths. "I love you."

Max could feel the tears welling up inside her eyes. "I'm so sorry Logan, that day we found the temporary cure, and you had told me that you loved me. I couldn't tell you how much I loved you.

"I love you too, Logan." Max smiled as she interlaced her fingers with Logan's.

"We'll make it Max, just promise me you won't give up." Logan's eyes were pleading with her, and he knew that she too was stubborn enough to continue pushing through.

"I promise."

"When I was back at Manticore they created many viruses like this one, and you're rather lucky that I specialized in this type of stuff." Jeff chuckled as he walked around the small room grabbing the blood samples Alec had given him earlier.

"I'll have to run a few tests to see if my theory will work, but it should. I won't promise anything yet. I could possibly have a cure by tomorrow, or it could take a month...maybe longer." Jeff tapped his pencil against a note pad that lay on the desk.

"Fine, but you better be damn sure that this works, and be careful with that blood, because that's just about all I can get for you." Alec waved goodbye and headed back to OC's.

Amy woke to find herself back inside her own bed. It had felt great to get so much rest. Finally realization struck her, and she raced to the kids room. A deep sinking feeling came over her and she could feel the blood rush out of her face and head. She flung open the door to find none of the children in the room.

The door to the house opened and Alec walked in wit the two infants in hand, and the twins. He put the two car seats on the floor and looked over to where Amy was standing.

"How are you feeling?" He asked happily.

"You are the biggest fucking idiot!" She lunged at him punching him in his chest, and with one swift kick punched him in the groin.

A sharp groan was heard as Alec fell to the floor.

Amy looked down at Alec and immediately felt bad.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that, but you scared me so badly."

"I-I-It's f-fine, just n-never do that aga-a-ain." Alec was still on the ground holding himself.

"Mommy, are you okay?" Joey asked.

"Yes baby. Alec scared Mommy though." Amy's tone had calmed and she bent in front of Alec.

"Need some help?" Amy asked sympathetically.

"Y-y-you could k-kiss it and make it b-better."

"Don't make me kick you again." Amy joked

"P-please God No!"

Amy helped Alec get up again, only to be struck by full force seizures.
