Chapter 12: Under the Weather
Max groaned as she felt her stomach do another somersault. She had been feeling like shit for the past three hours, and it was doing her no good, just sitting around and waiting for it to go away. The brunette glanced at the door for the hundredth time. Alec was supposed to be here by now. He had gone out to buy some food for her, thinking that she might just be hungry. But Max didn't feel the least bit of hunger. In fact, she felt like she was going to be sick.
Her stomach churned and Max did the next thing she could think of. She raced to the bathroom and.threw up. Max wiped her hand hastily across her mouth as her other hand groped the top of the toilet for the tissue paper. When she found it, she stood up, splashed some cold water on her face and wiped the icy droplets off.
"I hate this fucking day," Max complained as she walked out of the bathroom and slumped down back on the armchair. A few seconds later, her apartment door opened. Alec walked in, carrying three paper bags, no doubt, filled with food.
"You okay Maxie?" he asked, dropping the bags on the kitchen countertop and taking out a box of pizza.
"Ask the toilet bowl," she grumbled sourly.
"You threw up?"
"Gee Alec, I didn't throw up. I made paper sailboats and played with them in the toilet!" Max said, sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"You don't have to be such a bitch about it," Alec said rolling his eyes. "Here, I got us some food." He tossed her a box of pizza, which she caught easily.
"I'm not really that hungry," she said, and tossed it back at him. Alec shrugged and made that 'okay, more for me' look.
Max shut her eyes for a few seconds, hoping she could get some sleep. Unfortunately for her, she had shark DNA. "Damned, shark DNA." She muttered to herself. "Maybe I should just kill myself, worth the pain than the pain I'm feeling now."
Alec shot her a concerned look. "That bad?"
Max nodded.
Alec shook his head, as if he couldn't believe it. "When was the last time an X5 got sick?" he said mostly to himself.
Max answered. "When they got pregnant." She said. She had meant it to be a joke of course but Alec's hand froze midway from serving himself more pizza and stared at Max, in pure astonishment.
"Hey! I was kidding," she said rolling her eyes.
"Maybe we should go see the doctor," Alec suggested slowly. Something that resembled guilt, shifted behind his eyes.
"Alec? What the hell are you saying?" she asked, starting to panic as she recalled her heat days. When she did remember-"Oh god, you didn't use protection." Max said, shutting her eyes again and letting out an exasperated moan.
"I'm sorry Max.the heat.I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself." Alec trailed off helplessly.
'I can't believe this.' Max thought feeling her head go dizzy. 'I might be pregnant.' Max leaned back against the armchair. 'Pregnant.baby.father.Alec.baby.Alec.protection.PREGNANT!'
She could feel Alec's eyes on her as she brooded over the matter. This wasn't happening. Her life was already screwed up. She couldn't screw it up anymore.
"Max?"
She didn't reply.
"Max?" Alec said louder this time. He walked over to her and kissed her forehead comfortingly. "I need to know what you're going to do."
Max stared back at him and saw nothing but concern and worry in his deep hazel eyes. She let out a small sigh and managed to say something. "We need to know for sure, first. Get your jacket. Were going to the doctor."
A/N: Hehe, I've been waiting a long time to post this chapter.Max pregnant! With Alec!!!!! Hehehehe.. :-)
