Chapter 6
Max, Alec and Everest were all sitting in the most fanciest pre-pulse restaurant they could find.
They were chatting happily while waiting for their orders to come.
But a battle between Max and Alec broke out with blushes and glances when Everest mentioned, "So, I guess I know what you two were doing this past 2 years." She said, as she pointed towards Jennifer in Alec's arms, who was drooling and cooing on his lap.
He didn't seem to mind though; he had this sort of natural father instinct. Max nor Alec neither corrected her or told her about Jennifer's real story.
Max glanced at Alec again and then looked at the baby in front of him. 'Was she transgenic?' thought Max.
On the space needle they saw a little blank printed on her neck that was not clearly visible. Max decided not to worry so she started talking back to the tall girl in front of her.
"Um... Everest, Jennifer isn't ours," stammered Max. "Oh, I get it. How come? I thought all of us could get pregnant very easily?" said Everest, babbling.
"Um no that is not the case," said Max, explaining everything while Alec listened attentively. Max didn't say anything about her and Alec being in a relationship and she didn't bother correcting Everest about her and Alec being together.
Alec saw this as a sign of hope and was filled with glee.
'I'll tell her everything about the huge major crush on Alec later' Max thought. 'WHAT? DID I JUST THINK HUGE MAJOR CRUSH? AM I TURNING INTO ANOTHER STUPID GIRL WHO ADMIRES ALEC?' she thought. She would have to think about that later because Jennifer was crying loudly.
Alec crinkled his nose at the baby and sighed. "Code 9" he said to Max. Max looked at Alec and then at the baby then back at Alec.
"Here take the bag, you do it," she said, quickly shoving Max's tiny backpack at him. When Alec didn't say anything, Max just let out a frustrated sigh.
"Alec there is an extra diaper in there, just go to the unisex bathroom over there and change her diapers!" said Max.
A few people at the restaurant turned their heads to look at her and then turned back and started chattering away again.
Alec got up, delicately holding the baby in his arms as if she were about to break, while slinging the backpack over his shoulder. When he was gone, both Max and Everest broke into giggles.
"He looks like a mom!" cried Everest, choking on her laughter. "Listen I'll tell you the real story about the baby and me and Alec right now.
I just wanted an opportunity to tell you..." said Max getting serious. Little did she know that while she was blurting out her feelings about Alec he was just around the corner, listening intently.
"Wow" he breathed when she was over. 'So that was why she was always putting that 'I AM GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS YOU SCREW UP!' thing.' He thought.
He felt a soft mushy feeling in his heart and was about to run up to Max and kiss her when he heard a name he disliked so much. "And- I don't know what I'm going to do about Logan you see... we have this sort of relationship.." completed Max.
Anger burst through Alec as he remembered that silly cyber journalist who was always trying to put Max in danger.
Why didn't she just see that he was using her? Then he felt relieved with what Max said next.
"But I don't really like him you see, I used to think he was all that when I first met him, but that was when I was first out in the world. I asked him for help to find my brothers and sisters and in exchange he got help from me.
He never helps me a lot... he just puts me in danger, they are a danger to us those ordinaries and we are a danger to them... Alec taught me that.." said Max, sighing.
"Well tell them both!" said Everest.
This was not the advice Max was expecting from Everest and her long speeches but she appreciate it. Max rose from the table. "Tell Alec I had a big headache and I had to go home. I'll come by his apartment later to help with Jenny. Bye." Max said in a rush.
She put down her share of the money, winked at Everest mouthing that she had to go to Logan and breakup and left.
Alec went back to the bathroom and changed Jennifer's diaper with the technique OC taught him, held her carefully and walked back out. Jennifer's clothes needed washing and she needed loads of things to get settled in Alec's apartment.
Looks like he would have to spend all that hard earned cash and Sketchy's (he smiled at that. He had won him a billion times) just on a big baby shopping spree.
He walked towards Everest who was sitting down and sipping strawberry juice. "Max had a headache and she had to leave. She said she'll stop by your place later." She said in a rush.
For some reason he didn't look surprised.
"I know" he ?" asked Everest and then it hit her.
"Shit" she said and looked at Alec with fear in her eyes.
"Shit" she said again, but this time really low.
