Chapter 2
Alec awoke to a light pounding on the door. Alec was waiting for the call
from Max, and fell asleep. It was now 4 in the morning. Crap! I forgot to
turn my cell off vibrate. She's gonna yell at me. He thought as he got up
and quickly ran to the door. As soon as he opened it Max started to yell at
him.
"Where the fuck were you? I needed you and you didn't even pick up your phone." She yelled.
Alec pulled her inside and shut the door. She was pacing the living room giving him the death glare. She was wearing a blue spaghetti strap shirt and tight black cargo pants. She had her hair down. Alec secretly loved her hair down. It made her more feminine looking. Also her hair was curly. Shorter and curlier.
"Well what's your stupid reason for standing me up!" she yelled. Alec looked at her trying to figure her out.
"I fell asleep during my meditation. I am so sorry, max. What were the results? Are we proud parents?"
Max walked over to the refrigerator, and began to snoop inside for something to eat. "I'm not telling you because of the shit you put me through." "I take it that you are pregnant since you're lookin' through my fridge." He said with a cocky grin.
"Ok smart-ass. Now I'm never going to tell you. I haven't had anything to eat since yesterday. So back off."
"Sorry. Maxie. Really...am I a dad?" he asked coming up behind max and turning her to face him. They began to stare into each other's eyes, until max pulled away and sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. Alec sat beside her and waited patiently. "Max! I know you can hear me, and I really am sorry about before, so please tell me."
"No." she plainly replied. Continuing to change the channel. Alec grabbed the remote and turned off the TV.
"No as in you're not pregnant...or no as in you're not going to tell me," he asked trying to make eye contact. "Max please tell me." He pleaded. Max got up and walked over to the window and stared out at the sky. It had started to rain. Alec got up and stood behind her. Not touching her. Let's see. It could be either way. She's either having the baby and is in shock...or she isn't having the baby and is in shock, he thought as he waited patiently. After all, there was no other way to get it out of her. Finally giving up and released a heavy sigh before he wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder. "I honestly like the rain. I hate being in it...but I like it. It's calming."
"Where were you when I needed you?" If it weren't for his unique hearing, he would never have heard her. She spoke softer than a whisper.
"I'm sorry Max. I fell asleep," he answered just as soft.
"I was scared something happened to you. Or you crashed my ninja. Or maybe you were even avoiding me. I just wish you had come up with me when I did the test. We needed you there with us." Alec was lost in her words. He was lost as soon as he heard her say us. He started smiling.
"You don't have to worry about me Max. But when you say US...you mean you and the baby?" he asked hopeful.
She turned to face him. Anger written all over her face. "No! As in Cindy and me! We didn't know what to do with the results." Alec looked at her puzzled. She pulled him close and spoke into his chest. "When we took the test that you bought, the box said that if we were pregnant then it would say yes. If I was not, then it would say no."
"And it said?"
"It said yneso! Then Cindy went out to buy more, thinking that we messed up. Circle for yes, and a square for no. I got a star. Then there was a test that would turn blue if I was pregnant, and pink if not."
"Let me guess...you got green" "I got purple. Damn it Alec! It's because we have different genes and DNA. It sucks. So now you know that we don't know. I was so damn scared."
"Of not finding me?"
"Sort of. I'm afraid that I'm going to be the worst mom ever."
"You're going to be the best mom, and I promise I'll always be with you Max. I'll always protect you." They smiled and hugged for a few moments then watched the rain outside the window.
"Bip, bip, bip, Princess! The boxes won't sprout legs so get movin'." Normal screamed at Max as she walked into Jampony with Alec.
"So...after work we're meeting up at my place and then we're going to the doctors to find out?" Alec asked unsure.
"That's the plan. See ya after work." She gave him a soft smile as she turned to start her route.
""Max..."
""Yeah."
"You know I...I...love you right?" Max smiled at him and walked over to him. She placed a gentle kiss on his lips and whispered she loved him too. He smiled back at her, as she turned away once again to catch up with Cindy and start their route.
"It feels like its gonna be a beautiful day." Alec whispered to himself as he started out on his route.
"Where the fuck were you? I needed you and you didn't even pick up your phone." She yelled.
