SOME TIME HAS GONE BY SINCE THE LAST CHAPTER. MAX, JOSHUA AND ALEC BROKE OUT, THEN MAX RESCUED THE REST OF THE TRANSGENICS FROM RENFRO'S PLAN (JUST LIKE IN THE SHOW) AND ALEC DISAPPEARED DURING THE FIRE.
It was the beginning of JamPony's day, and Normal had just called everyone's attention. Max and Original Cindy shared an eyerolling look. Normal was probably just planning on yelling at them for vandalizing the bathroom, like he did every month. Every month he painted over the drawings and comments on the walls, and every month more pictures appeared.
I'd like you all to meet the newest member of the JamPony staff. Normal's voice gratingly called. Thank goodness he's not in radio.
"Newest slave, he means." OC whispered in Max's ear, making her snicker. True, true.
"Here he is, my golden boy, Alec McDowell!" Normal said with an actual smile on his face as a younger man stepped from behind him. It can't be...can it?
"Alec?" Max gasped as she stared at him, her face going pale.
OC turned to her friend. "Alec? The Alec?" Max melted backwards into the crowd. I can't let him see me here. Not yet.
Max paced the floor of their apartment while OC sat on the couch, her chin in her hands. She lifted her head and shot her roommate a look.
"That was your breeding partner?" OC asked, eyebrows raised. Max nodded silently. "I've got to say boo, Manticore sure does make them pretty." If I wasn't batting for the other team...
"Oh god OC, this is so bad." Max sat down beside her. "So so bad."
"So an ex-bedroom buddy shows up. It's not that new." OC looked at her friend. Why is she freaking out so badly over one hot boy? She was never like this when Rafer showed up.
"I think I'm pregnant." Max's eyes filled with tears. "And he's the only one...in a long time."
"Pregnant?" OC wrapped an arm around her friend's shoulders. "Oh boo. You've been out...how long exactly? Four months?" Max started to sob. Oh boo, what has that hellish place gotten you into?
Max wiped her eyes. "Sorry, hormones I guess."
"How are just figuring this out now? Didn't you realize when Auntie Flo didn't visit for so long?" OC squeezed her comfortingly. Oh boo...
"Transgenics don't have that problem." Max smiled sadly. "I was sick, but I thought it was a withdrawal symptoms from the drugs they gave me at Manticore." She started sobbing again. "OC what am I gonna do?"
"I don't know boo, but I'll always be here to help you." OC hugged Max close. Oh life just got so much more complicated.
PLEASE REVIEW! HIT THE BUTTON, TELL ME WHAT YOU LIKED/DIDN'T LIKE THEN SEND IT OFF. THANKS!
