6 Years Ago
Max and Sam walked into their dining room where there mother and father were sitting.
Sharing a look, Sam pushed Max towards the table and cleared her throat causing her parents to look at them.
"What's wrong?" their mother asked concern showing in her eyes.
"Nothing" Max said quickly turning around she tried to walk away but was blocked by Sam.
"Tell them" Sam said seriously, Max glared at her sister and shook her head.
"Tell us what?" their mother asked standing up off her chair and making her way towards her daughter.
"Mummy" Max said running towards her and wrapping her arms around her.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" she asked holding her.
"I'm having a baby" Max said in a small voice.
"What?" her mother asked clearly shocked and not wanting to believe it.
She looked at Sam and she nodded her head tears showing in her eyes.
"You're what!?" Max's father said in an angry tone.
Max pulled away from her mother and looked at her dad "I'm sorry"
"That little punk he's dead" he said as he marched towards the front door.
"NO!" Max said running to stand in front of the door so he couldn't get past.
"Move Max" her father demanded Max shook her head she wasn't going anywhere.
"Calm down Donald" their mother said placing her hand on his shoulder.
"How can you be calm?" he asked looking at her not understanding at all how she could be so calm when their daughter had just announced she was pregnant at 16.
"She's not going to have the baby" Sarah explained to her husband.
"Yes I am!" Max said defiantly "I'm not killing my baby"
Sarah looked at her daughter "You are only baby" she tried to explain "Having a baby will ruin your life"
Max shook her head "No it won't"
"He won't want a kid either" Donald said talking about Alec.
Sam who had been quiet the entire time spoke up "Alec wouldn't turn his back on her, he loves her"
"Stay out of this Sam" her father demanded "Fine!" she said walking out the house she slammed the door behind her, hard.
"You're not going to have a termination?" her parents asked and Max shook her head, no.
Sarah nodded taking it in.
"Does he know?" Donald asked.
"Not yet" Max told them.
"Don't tell him"
Max opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by her father. "In fact we should go to the cabin for a few days just to work things out, to talk things through"
He looked at Sarah who nodded in agreement.
"Will you wait until we get back before you tell him?" Donald pleaded
"Ok" Max agreed it was the least she could do after the shock she'd just given them.
"Go tell your sister we're going to the cabin for a few days" Max nodded her head and went in search of her sister.
She was sitting on the steps of the porch.
"Hey" she said sitting down beside her.
Sam looked up smiling "So they didn't die of shock then?"
Max laughed and shook her head "No"
"We're going to go to the cabin for a few days" Max said after a few moments of silence.
"I heard" Just then Sam noticed Alec walking towards their house she looked at Max then gestured to Alec "here's your boy" she said with a smile on her face.
Max's head whipped around and she spotted him, he waved to her grinning she stood up to go to him but Sam's voice stopped her after a few steps.
"Don't let dad see him" Sam said with a serious look on her face.
Maxs' face turned serious and she nodded before running towards Alec.
"Hey" Alec said as she got closer to him "Alec" she said holding back tears as she flung herself into his arms.
He laughed not understanding what was wrong with her "What's up?" he asked looking at her.
She shook her head "Nothing" she lied
"Coming out with me tonight?"
"I can't I need to pack"
"Pack?" Alec asked confused.
"We're going to the cabin for a few days" she explained "You didn't tell me"
"I just found out" she informed him.
Alec nodded thinking it through before a grin appearing on his face and his hands wrapped round her waist pulling her towards him.
He captured her lips in his, kissing her slowly.
After a few seconds the kiss ended and they stood in each others arms.
"MAX!"
Max's body tensed when she heard her father calling her name and Alec noticed "What's his problem?"
"Just doesn't like you" Max said half joking
"I know, shame I like his daughter so much"
"GET IN NOW!" Donald called again.
"I need to go" Max said smiling sadly at Alec.
Alec sighed "Ok" kissing her quickly on the lips he let her go "See you when you get back"
"Yeah" Max said walking back to her house where her dad was waiting on her.
"Did you tell him?" he demanded to know.
Max shook her head "Good, keep it that way"
With that he ushered both his daughters back inside and closed the door.
Max was unaware of what would happen the next two days or the fact that her father didn't want to ruin his reputation with his co-workers finding out his 16 year old daughter was pregnant.
So he took her away from Alec from her home and moved the family to Seattle. And for the first 2 years of Jamie's life they pretended to the world that he belonged to Sarah and Donald. Until Max went to university and she decided she had enough of pretending to be his sister in public, so she picked up her son and left he parents weren't too happy about it but after thinking it through they realised Jamie belonged with his mother.
And after a few months of not having him around and seeing how well Max could cope with him on her own they started to feel bad about the fact Alec didn't know anything about him.
But they couldn't change the past.
