"What the hell was that?"
Max considered explaining and finishing her sentence but why should she? 'I'm still explaining it to OC and if he isn't smart enough to figure out what's making that noise that's not my problem,' she thought stubbornly, folding her arms.
Logan repeated it again with a new level of uncertainty in his voice. "Max what was that sound? What the hell was that?" he demanded when she didn't reply. Ignoring him Max got up and headed to the bedroom, to hush the baby and tell Alec to go back to sleep.
Logan was in shock. He knew fine rightly what that sound was, his tiny brain was just refused to accept it. He tried to come up with a reasonable explanation for it that didn't include Max jumping into bed with Alec. He failed.
OC watched on amusedly, especially enjoying his reaction now that she was in the loop. After getting the baby back to sleep and making sure Alec was still asleep, she came back out, closing the bedroom door as quietly as possible behind her.
'What is he doing? He's just standing there!' She walked over to him silently willing him to say anything other than . . . "What the hell was that?" he asked interrupting her thoughts with perfect timing to prove her point.
Seemingly unaware of his surroundings, Logan remained in a daze until a now frustrated Max clicked her fingers in front of his face demanding his attention. "Logan, snap out of it!" He finally acknowledged her presence by using what currently appeared to be the only words in his vocabulary; "What the hell was that?"
Max felt anger rising up inside of her. "That, as you so simply put it, is mine and Alec's daughter, Jen." Max's anger was only increased by Logan mumbling about her 'disloyalty' and not expecting her to be able to hear.
"And not that it is any of your business but Alec and I are together now so get over it. And as far as loyalty is concerned I told you ages ago, well over a year now in fact that you and I were over."
"What about everything I have done for you?"
"Excuse me? Everything you have done for me? I went on all those little missions you asked of me, I risked my life every other friggen week for you and all I asked was that you located my brothers and sisters for me which you never did! So thank you for letting me be your personal cat burglar but no thanks."
"How can you say that Max? It's Alec, he's poisoned you mind, you love me really, I know it! He has turned you into an ungrateful wench."
Fuelled by anger Max slapped him across the face. Logan was horrified and OC had a huge smirk on her face. Logan put his hand up to his face and started shrieking.
"Max, Max! The virus! Your killing me!"
He flung himself up against the wall then slid down onto the floor where he curled himself up into a ball and began to rock back and forth, tears poring down his face.
"This is it; there will be no more Eyes Only! Who will look out for the common people now? I can feel the poison seeping into my blood stream, your killing me! You killed the only free voice left in this city." By this point OC was in fits of laughter and even Max had started smiling. "Peace out," Logan whispered as he closed his eyes and stopped screaming.
"Get up you fool!" said Max lifting him of the floor. She hurried him out the door. "I cured the virus, so cut the hysterics you melodramatic Prima Donna!" With that, she closed the door in his startled face.
Hearing a chuckle, she turned around to see a sleepy looking Alec standing with his arms crossed. "I always though he was gay." He said simply.
"Did I wake you up?"
"Yeah but it was totally worth it to see that."
Walking over to him Max wrapped her arms around him and leaned in for a kiss. "Woah!" yelled OC. "Still not used to that yet so can you cut that out for just a min. I'll adjust eventually don't worry, it's been a very uh, interesting night to say the least."
OC got up and grabbed her coat. "Look, I've gotta blaze, all the excitement has tired me out ya know, so I'll catch ya tomorrow Boo." She gave Max a hug. "Its good to have ya back boo. We can finish that little discussion then and please no more shocks, for a while anyway. Original Cindy's system couldn't handle another one. Oh and Alec, be good to my girl cause I like you and don't want to have to put the smack down on your ass."
Alec smiled, knowing that even with her army training OC would be not match for him. When OC left Logan was still whimpering in the corridor and upon seeing Max he yelled, "What about the pasta?!" but Max paid no attention and closed the door, disgusted that she had ever loved him.
"So what are we going to do tomorrow? We can't both go to work," said Max knowing that as much as she didn't want to they had to start being practical.
"I'll go in and you can stay here and mind Jen," stated Alec simply.
Max became very pissed off very fast. It didn't matter that was her preferred scenario but he fact that Alec had just assumed that that was how it was going to be annoyed her. Alec obviously had some sexist idea in his head that men went out to work while the women stayed at how washing and cleaning and raising the children. She had to put a stop to that now.
"Excuse me? The last time I checked we were living in the year 2024 and women had equal rights and did not just sit about the house all day waiting for their . . ." An amused Alec cut her off.
"Maxie, no need for the women's lib speech, seriously, I didn't mean it that way. I mean think about it. We left for over a year without saying a word to Normal. Who is more likely to get our jobs back?"
Max smiled ashamed that she had assumed the worst from Alec, a particularly nasty habit she had seemed to pick up when she first met him and was having a hard time stopping.
"I mean if I go in well he will be ecstatic. His Golden Boy has returned, Hallelujah, praise the Lord! However if you go why it's just 'missy miss' approximately 11,763 hours late for work!"
"Sorry, I get carried away sometimes," Max said feeling a little embarrased.
"I guessed that."
He pulled her into a big bear hug and rested his head on top of her smelling her freshly washed hair. They stayed like that for a while, content in each other's embrace only pulling away when Alec started laughing. "What?"
"I'm just thinking about Logan."
"Well whatever does it for you."
"Oh come on Max his reaction was classic!"
"It was pretty funny," she admitted.
"Funny? It was bloody hysterical!"
"Ok you're totally right, what the hell was I thinking? And no more English sitcoms for you!"

There ya go so please review! Ok so here are the answers to the questions I got asked in reviews.
Jane: Yes, this is the same story and thanks for reading again. I decided to re-post the story because I made a few changes and it's under a different account and stuff so . . . ya know. And don't worry the new chapters are currently being written!
Sock brain: No, the original was never finished but will be very soon! I just felt that because I haven't updated in so long that people would need their memories refreshed and apparently I was right!
