CHAPTER 17

Logan and Max's apartment

"Thank you Logan…for everything." Max smiled brightly at Logan, who smiled back. Max turned her attention back to Zach. Placing a new warm towel on Zach's forehead, Max watched, out of the corner of her eye, Logan sit down on the coffee table and watch Max working, They sat silent for several minutes without talking, and breathing very softly.

Jam Pony

"Zach is in pretty bad shape. He shouldn't have left the hospital." Max was talking to O.C before they started their deliveries.

"Did you take him back to the hospital then?"

"No. I have Dr. Carr looking at him though." Max answered, slamming her locker shut.

"Max, are you sure you're going to be ok with this? I mean you're living with Logan now, and you told Zach that you were about to have his baby, and now you are taking care of him. Are you sure you aren't taking on too much?" O.C asked, concerned about her best friend.

"I can handle it O.C. Don't worry about me so much." Max answered confidently.

"Alright, Alright, you know you're my gurl though, I'm allowed to be worried about you." Max just laughed at O.C's comment as they headed out the door to start their deliveries. Max felt a weird pain within her, since it wasn't all that painful, she ignored it and went about making her deliveries, but it persisted. She tried to rub her stomach, thinking that it was just because she was from Manticore and that this was how Manticorian women had their children.

Crash

"Max…why aren't you drinking anything?" Sketchy asked as he brought another pitcher over.

"I uh…well I just don't want anything right now." Max turned away from Sketchy's confused look and turned to talk to O.C.

"Gurl, you really have to start telling people you know about this, it's going to be kind of obvious in a few months."

"I know that. I'm just not ready yet." Max answered frustrated that this was so stressing to keep a secret.

"Hey you guys, how's it going?" Alec announced his arrival.

"Hey Alec, how are you doing?" O.C asked.

Logan and Sketchy were playing pool and O.C was talking with Max and Alec, who had decided to show up later.

"How are you going to get Normal to agree to this?" Alec asked, "He might think that you're lying."

"Yeah, I'm-" Max clutched her stomach as she tried to speak, but felt the sharp stabbing pains that she knew meant something was very wrong….
