Summary - I know its short but its better than me leaving you until next week without an update, right?
Max woke and could clearly remember falling asleep on the sofa in Alec's arms but now she was lying against a nice soft mattress and it felt good.
"Morning" he said brushing a kiss against her shoulder "morning" she smiled back "how did we end up here?" she asked with a yawn.
"I woke up and carried you" he explained
"Hmm" was all she said.
He was looking at her through his eye lashes trying not to make eye contact as he asked his next question.
"Are we ok?"
She looked at him and lifted his eyes to meet her "we're perfect" she promised pressing her lips again his.
After a few moments Alec broke the kiss "let's go home" he suggested. Max lifted her eyebrows in question and he continued "I miss my son" he admitted.
And Max couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face at those words "me too" she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tight.
"Think he misses us?" Alec asked her she shook her head "probably not" she said with a small laugh.
Alec nodded "I'll go find us a flight" he slipped out of bed and grabbed his phone calling the airline.
He really wanted to get back to his son.
The next day they arrived back in Seattle they hadn't told anyone they were coming home early because they wanted to surprise Jamie.
"Glad he's not at school today" Alec said as he hailed a cab.
"It's Saturday" Max reminded him as the got in the back of the cab, Alec gave the driver the address then turned back to Max "I know that but he still doesn't have school" he added with a tight smile.
"Who would have thought immature Alec would love being a dad?" Max asked him
Alec tilted his head to the side thinking it through "its because I'm so immature that I love it, I'm really the same age as him" he expected Max to disagree with him or something but when she didn't he said "so you think I'm the same age as him then?" he looked into her eyes and Max nodded.
"Yeah"
He moved closer and whispered into her ear "well what you did to me on that flight was VERY illegal" he smirked as her eyes widened and she slapped him around the head lightly "dick" she whispered.
Alec shrugged and the cab pulled up outside his apartment 5 minutes later.
Walking into the house they found it empty "there out" Alec said in a disappointed voice "where has your sister taken my son?" Alec asked as he picked up their bags and walked into the bedroom dumping them on the bed.
Max was in the kitchen getting a drink "I don't know she's with your brother" she reminded him.
It was 2 hours later and Jamie still wasn't home both Max and Alec couldn't wait to see him but they still hadn't called either Ben or Sam to tell them they were home, so they were sitting on the sofa watching TV and Alec had cooked them something to eat. It was around 5.30 when they heard the door opening and both of them jumped up from the sofa and headed towards the front door.
They could hear Jamie's voice, he was talking to Sam.
"Jamie" Alec called out alerting his son to his presence, Jamie stopped looking around thinking he had misheard but when his eyes settled on his dad he smiled and ran towards him "Dad!" he said excitedly throwing himself into Alec's waiting arms.
"I missed you" Jamie said hugging him tight, Alec held Jamie just as tight because he never knew it was possible to miss someone as much as he had missed his son.
"Where's mummy?" Jamie asked "right here" Max said from the side of Alec Jamie turned around and put his arms out for his mum, Max tried to take him from Alec's arms but Alec wouldn't let go "not yet" Alec said keeping Jamie close.
So instead Max kissed her son on the head "how are you baby?"
He nodded his head "I'm fine mummy glad you and daddy are back"
"I'm glad too" she promised turning to her sister she hugged her "miss me?" she asked already knowing what Sam was going to say "where you gone? Didn't notice"
Max shook her head as Sam walked away "missed you though Alec" she said wiggling her eyebrows teasingly. Alec smirked "I told her about us" he said playing along.
"Good" Sam said and walked into the bedroom she shared with Ben.
Later that night Sam and Ben had gone out and Alec, Max and Jamie were relaxing on the sofas.
Jamie had his head on his mothers lap and Alec's arm was around Max but resting on the sofa. He couldn't help but look at them and wonder how his life and become to perfect all of a sudden. He knew he never wanted it too end he knew he wanted Max for the rest of his life, he'd always known that.
Jamie was falling asleep and Alec hadn't noticed Max was looking at him until he felt her hand on his face "what you thinking about?" she asked softly gazing into his eyes one hand still running through her sons hair.
"You two" he admitted with a half smile "how perfect it is having you in my life"
"You're pretty perfect yourself" Max informed him as she kissed him on the lips softly. "I know" he said his smile turning into a grin "I love you" he told her honestly and she could see it in his eyes. "Love you too" she whispered
"I love you too daddy" Jamie said from her lap.
They both laughed because they thought he was asleep.
Alec didn't know where it came from and he wasn't even thinking about it but he found himself saying "Marry me?"
Max's eyes widened and she suddenly became more awake than she previously was "Excuse me?"
"Marry me" he repeated.
