Chapter 2: I'll remember you

Four months had gone by since that night in his apartment. He hadn't returned for a long time hoping her smell would go away but it hadn't. After he'd gotten used to that she was always around him, "Alec, please we need to talk about this." Max would try an attempt at talking with him. Alec would simply ignore her and continue with whichever task he was at.

Every night he'd go to crash and have a few drinks with Sketchy and Original Cindy, they'd stayed good friends even with everything that had happened. To his relief too OC never mentioned anything about that night or Max. Sure he would guess that somewhere deep down in his mind he wanted to know how she was, wanted to know how his unborn child was... but he'd never let himself find out.

Every night after he'd leave Crash, he'd find a girl who was all to willing to follow him and he'd use her like he'd been used. He'd get off fucking them and send them on there way and just for a few seconds when he was in ecstasy he could forget.

He'd just arrived at TC when Mole came running to him. "I've been trying to call you..." Mole started.

"Sorry, my phone must be dead." Alec replied fishing in his pockets for his cell phone.

"Doesn't matter. She's here and she's here with him." Mole blurted out. Alec just stared at him, understanding him instantly.

"It's alright Mole, I don't need to hide from them." Alec started to walk away. "I've finally accepted it, now come on we've got a meeting." Alec wasn't sure who he was trying to convince more, Mole or himself. "To what do we owe this wonderful surprise? Anymore runes show up on your body?"

"No, only the old ones." Max replied turning to face him. "We just wanted to come by see how everything was." Alec nodded at her and Logan and kept walking. He wondered if she liked torturing him, hell that could be the only explanation for her being here. He remembered the last time Max was in TC about 1 month ago.

Flashback

"Max, hi, can I talk to you for a minute?" Syl her sister had asked walking up to her and looking around to see if someone was around.

They didn't know that Alec was there. He'd been hiding out for a few minutes trying to get his strength together to face another day around Max.

"You know that I love you and would die for you, but what you are doing is wrong." Syl stated.

"What do you mean?" Max questioned feeling uneasy.

"Even if you think no one knows what happened pretty much everyone knows and a lot of people aren't taking it to good." Syl tried to explain, she was finding it harder now then, when she'd thought the conversation a few minutes ago. "We don't want Logan here anymore and we think you should go with him."

"I see, does he know about this?" Max questioned knowing Syl knew she was talking about Alec. Syl simply nodded no and turned and walked away.

An hour later Max and Logan were out of TC and on their way back to Joshua's old house. She'd asked him permission first and he'd agreed saying, "I'm not going back little fella, medium fella needs me more."

"Alec, can we talk a minute?" Max questioned opening his office door. "It shouldn't take long." She added seeing his exasperated look.

"What is it Max?" Alec questioned trying not to sound annoyed.

"It's about the baby; I wanted to talk to you about..." Max stopped when Alec jumped up from his chair.

"I don't want to know anything about it. I don't care what happens or what you do with it. If you do happen to keep it then you make sure it never finds out that I'm the father." Alec stated angrily, he never once thought those things but knew they needed to be said because that's probably what she wanted. She'd probably come here to ask him if it was okay that she lied and told his child that Logan was his or her father.

Max just starred at him unable to make a sound and then finally just turned and walked out. It took everything for her not to start crying in front of him. She simply wanted to tell him that he was gonna have a baby girl and wanted to talk about names with him.

Never had she or Logan thought about keeping her away from Alec. They'd talked about it from the very beginning that Alec would be an important role; he'd have a word in everything that concerned his daughter. "I should have known he wouldn't want any part of this." Max stated to no one in particular.

Finding Logan with Dex fixing something with the computers she waited 'til he was finished and then simply told him they needed to leave. "What's wrong?" Logan questioned wondering what happened. Truth was Max had been so happy to come over to TC and see Alec. He hadn't seen her excited about something in a while.

"It's nothing I just want to go home." Max replied sadly. Logan accepted that and they left, but once they'd arrived at home, he forced her to tell him what was wrong. "He doesn't want anything to do with it..." Max started crying, "He called the child it."

"Oh, sweet heart. Come here." Logan pulled her against him and hugged her tightly.

"He's angry, he doesn't mean that. It's hard for him, he probably only said that to try and push you away." Logan knew the truth was that Alec loved Max to death, there was no way he meant what he'd said.

Max accepted that and went to lie down; she was finding it easier to sleep since she'd gotten pregnant. Most of the time when she was sleeping she found herself dreaming of Alec and what he'd done for her.

I'll remember you

You will be there in my heart

I'll remember you

Now that is all I can do

But I'll remember
