"Max, just take a deep breath and relax" Alec glanced worryingly at Max. She nodded and did what she was told… and that was a big thing for Max.
"Here goes nothing" she grabbed Alec's hand for support in return he squeezed it. Alec twisted the knob and they went inside the apartment.
Logan smiled longingly at Max but it quickly disappeared when he saw Max hand entwined with Alec's. He frowned and glance at Max questionly. "What's… what's going on?"
Logan sat down on the chair and stared longingly at Max, which was leaning against Alec's strong chest.
"You paged?" she changed the subject; maybe she wasn't ready to break Logan's heart. But she knew that she had to tell him.
She was caring Alec's and hers child. A little baby. That thought made her glow with happiness inside.
"Yeah, I need your help with a mission…" he was interrupted by Max who said harshly
"I can't Logan"
"But Max, it can be a clue to the cure. You know how much work I've been putting into this" he couldn't believe her. "Don't you want to be with me?"
"I'm pregnant Logan. I can't" Logan stared confuse, he saw that Alec was rubbing Max shoulder with a mix of comfort and support.
"I don't understand… you can't be pregnant. It's not possible. You and I never got the chance to…" but was interrupted by Alec this time.
"Its mine" he said matter factly
Logan shook his heads in denial. "It can't be! Is not possible! Why? Why Max? Was it only one night?" he had started to walk around in circles. Max gave a sigh and took a deep breath
"Logan, I understand it's confusing for you to understand. But we never really had a relationship, maybe we had a thing buts its long, long gone"
"NO! It can't be! Alec of all people! You said you're self, that he was a selfish bastard! And that he was no good!"
"HEY! I'm standing right here!" he tried to lighten the mood. But he was hurt by those words. It hurt him that Max once thought of him that way.
"It was him that got this damn virus in my system in the first place! Or don't you remember? He is an assassin! He changes women as much as he changes his clothes!" this had to be some kind of nightmare that he seriously needed to wake up from.
"Logan, I know you're angry. But please, for my sake try to understand" she stared into Alec's hazel green eyes with pure love "I love Alec" she stared into Logan's eyes blue ones "I Love Alec" Logan shook his head in denial "he is the reason that I'm still standing here, I can't even explain to you how much I love this man. Alec is… Alec" She smiled at him, and in return he kissed her forehead.
"Max, no…" Max saw that Logan couldn't take it, he was panicking. "No Max! He is no man! He will leave you! Do you think he will stay!" he was cut of by Alec's punch.
"Now you will listen to me! I've have for the last hour been trying not to hurt you" he said taking a step towards Logan but Max stopped him with a hand. "Get it inside your head that me and MAX are TOGETHER! Okay?" he released Logan from the grip he had.
"Me and Alec will leave you to think for awhile" she grabbed Alec's hand and pulled him out of the apartment.
"So… are you okay?" she was playing with his fingers while they were walking down the street.
"Yeah, actually I am. I thought it would hard to let go but it wasn't. I mean, I was Logan's personal handyman… woman… whatever. You know. You and I are a team, partners" she stared into his eyes and he smiled happily. He is so beautiful. How couldn't I've not seen it before?
"I know Maxie. We are partners until the day I die. So you're stuck with me missy" Max started to laugh. He smiled cocky. "And little minimum fella here is our proof"
With a happy smile they walked. She had realized that she loved him after she told him about Ben. After that they just got closer together. It was so natural.
She just loved the times they would just play. Like really play. Like tag or teasing or tickle each other.
She wasn't in heat when they fist made love. No, that's a big no.
It had starting to Rain, like really Rain. They had got to his apartment to dry of. They had change there clothes and watch TV and then everything was a blur.
After she wasn't worry what would happen, she knew that they would be together. Because he had told her so when they had started to kiss.
Sometimes. Just sometimes, she would get so afraid. She loved him with every fiber in her being. She was so exposed to him. But it calmed her when he always said he felt the same way.
Max stopped and turned around to kiss him.
"I love you, you know that… right" his smile reached to his sparking eyes.
"I know. And I love you to" he started to kiss her when she pushed him back
"Oh…" she started to run to the ally and started to puke. He was right behind her stroking her back. "I don't feel so good" she continued her puking for a long time.
She started to lean against his warm body.
"Hey, you're mean. Start puking when I'm putting in my moves" he started to laugh to his own joke she hit him lightly. Max started to walk away angry. "Hey, Max wait up! Okay, sorry. But think like this. You only have 2/3 left" that earn him another punch.
Max's belly really did hurt. She tried a puppy look on Alec "can you carry me home. I'm tired" he shook his head "pleaseee" she started to whine. She smiled in victory when he lifted her like a baby.
"You better not be mean to me later"
