Okay so no reviews for chapter 9 (I'm a girl you have to deal with me being sad about this). So the way I see it there are 4 reasons for this.
1) You just honestly missed the story, though my other one like 2 spots above was reviewed and so was my story down the page.
2) You stopped reading.
3) You hate it and feel bad telling me so (Hey I warned you in advance I wasn't great at this :-)
4) Seriously it's annoying to have to do the whole submit review thing (I'll admit I'm horrible at reviewing unless I'm writing too).
Okay so if you're reading this little thing now, go through the whole submit review (I know I'm sorry, if I could magically know someone was reading I wouldn't ask this) and hit 1,2,3,4, okay well not 2, but you get the point. Okay seriously I'm such a damn female it's sad, please review. Hell just type a damn letter in there, I can't see how many times this gets read and I'd just like to know someone's reading it. Okay seriously I liked that chapter, why didn't you guys? If you guys did like it and you do like the other stuff (okay or at least that's it entertaining enough to pass the time while you're bored) review. Seriously you'll get chapters really quick and you'll have an ultra happy writer, who will continue to write and not lose inspiration. Okay now that should be enough guilt. Here's the next part.
"Max, you are not going to kill this baby."
Max looked up from tying her shoe to Original Cindy who had just busted through her door.
She shook her head, "Why are you out of bed?"
"I'm perfectly healthy so I'm going home."
"And then what Max. Logan looked like he was going to straight out die when the doctor came out and told him you needed time alone to think."
"Did he go home?" Max said adjusting her pants
"I don't know where he went he just walked off."
Max nodded as she picked up her bag "It's for the best"
Original Cindy grabbed her arm as she walked by "How is this for the best Max? You can't seriously be considering killing your baby. Yours and Logan's, Logan the guy who you love with all your heart and don't you dare try lying to me and telling me you don't."
She shook her arm free "I love him, that's why I have to do this."
"Okay see I'm having some serious problems understanding your thinking today. You love him so you're going to kill a part of him?"
Max shook her head in shock that her best friend really thought that possible of her, "I'm going to leave." she placed a hand on her stomach, "I'll stick around long enough for him to think the baby's gone and then I'll go. I'll start over."
Cindy's mouth opened in shock "You're kidding right boo?"
Max shook her head as her eyes welled up "It's the only way. What's gonna happen if I stay here? If I can somehow manage to avoid ending up touching him, he might not ever be able to hold our baby. How long do you think that would last, how do you think he would deal with that, until one day it finally happens that she grabs out and touches him by accident…How I am supposed to do that to him?"
"Max, you don't know that's going to happen…You don't know if your baby will have this virus too. You don't know that you won't find a cure for this next week. You're just going to walk away from any future with Logan? Not to mention Joshua and everyone else."
"This is for the best for everyone. I'm bad news. Bad things happen to the people I love."
"Bad things happen because Manticore was bad news."
Max remained silent
"But you know what you're right you are bad news if you can do this to your true love, the one person you swear you never want to hurt. I understood about Alec, I mean Logan had almost died in front of your eyes, but this is his baby too. You can't just take him or her away. You can't let Logan think his child is dead."
Max moved back into the room and sat on the chair, she felt as if she was going to collapse, she didn't know if it was the baby or just her life that was making her so weak. "What happens when my little girl can't understand why her daddy can't hug her? Do you have any idea what it feels like to go throughout your childhood not being hugged, not being kissed…I couldn't do that to her."
Original Cindy squatted down in front of Max and placed her hand on Max's stomach "That little one in there, never gonna doubt her daddy's love for her. Logan will figure out how to hug that child, he will be there to hold her hand, dry her tears, tuck her in at night, read her stories. Max he'll be an amazing daddy."
Tears starting falling down her cheeks, she couldn't stop them, "Until I kill him. Can't you understand that, it's what I've had to live with everyday for the past6 months? And now it won't just be on me, it'll be on our child and you know maybe they'll be fine, maybe I can't pass this to them and that would be great until the day that their mommy takes their daddy away from them. This is the best thing for everyone."
"Max how is it going to be better for your child to spend their whole life without a father, how is it going to be better for Logan to end up a sad, bitter old man, how is going to be better that you're going to spend your entire life missing him? You have got to tell that man the truth. That there never was anything with Alec and that you love him and only him. You owe it to the man, hell you owe it to yourself too."
"I can't, we've tried and we've tried, we just can't make it work."
"No boo, you ran and you ran. I'm not saying Logan didn't do it too, but when things happen with you two, one runs and the other one wants to fight for it. You've just gotta stay true to the course, commit to the man, commit to your life, commit to your baby. This virus is horrible and bad, but this baby, this is good, this is like the best thing ever, just like you and Logan. You hold on tight to the good and eventually the bad will fall. You can do anything, you can kick this virus's ass."
"No" Max said shaking her head "Everyone says that, I've said it. We don't know if that will really happen. This could be a forever type of thing."
"So what if it is. That baby's a forever type of thing and so would your relationship be with Logan if you just let it."
Max opened her mouth
Cindy put her hand over Max's mouth "Stop fighting with me, stop wasting all of your energy trying to stay away from Logan, focus on the good. You're having Logan's baby, in like seven months you're gonna have this little bit of you and him forever. Granted you're never going to sleep again or have a moment of peace, but you and him Max, in a little person. That's what you need to think about."
