Max stormed over to Logans penthouse and as soon as she closed the door behind her she yelled walking into the living room where Logan was on his pc. " What the hell were you playing at Logan, you could have exposed me and all the other transgenics"
"I didn't think" Logan admitted before turning round to look at her.
"Exactly and that could have caused Alec, Zack and my life's aswell as the baby's" Max pointed out.
"Max, i'm sorry" Logan approached Max with a kitchen knife in his hand. Maxs eyes widened and backed away slowly until her back was against the wall. As he moved closer to her the fear in Max increased and it affected her so much that she couldn't move.
"Max come with me away from this place and i wont hurt your baby" Logan held the knife to her ever so swelled stomach, it was cold against her skin but it didn't hurt her. Logans other hand was on her arm so she couldn't move.
Zack arrived at the penthouse door to her Max answer "No, i love Zack and we will raise our child not you"
"Then there will be no child" Logan barked and cut Maxs stomach she moaned in pain. Zack felt his heart miss a beat ad he blurred into the living room and pushed Logan away from Max. Max fell to her knees as no one was supporting her and the pain was to much for her to stand up on her own two feet. Max clutched her stomach and tears were streaming down her face.
Zack turned to Logan, he punched the human hard in the face with his right fist. The kicked him in the stomach. Logan fell to the floor in pain. Zack immediately turned his attention to a wounded Max.
"Max your gonna be okay" Zack told he could sense er fear and kneeled down beside her.
"I should have listened to you" Max muttered..
"Come on , we gotta get you out of here. Can you walk?" he asked
"I'll try" Max muttered she stood up and cried in pain, then fell back to her knees softly as Zack lowered her down. Zack had tried to pick Max up in his arms before she fell but she curled into a ball shape quickly and he could lift her up.
"Max let me see" Zack instructed but she wouldn't move her hands away from her stomach.
"No, it hurts to much" Max cried still not looking at him.
"Maxie" Zack called softly Max looked up at him and their eyes locked. Both of them could see their emotions reflected in each others eyes. Love, Trust, Hurt, Fear.
"I don't wanna lose my baby Zack" Max confessed
"I know honey, neither do i. Please let me see so i know how to help and keep the baby safe" Zack replied
"It's not deep enough to affect the baby, he's okay as long as you stay awake okay" Zack told her as he cringed when he seen the amount of blood she hand lost. It was all over the floor, her clothes and her hands.
"Are you sure?" Max checked
"Yes but we need to hurray and get you home" Zack told her as he moved closed and placed an arms on her back and the other under her knees. As Zack lifted Max up only a little and she tensed up causing Zack to stop incase he was hurting her.
"Zack i'm to tired can't it wait" she struggled to keep her eyes open.
"No, Maxie don't go to sleep. Stay awake for the baby" he stroked her hair
"I'll try" she muttered weakly.
"I'm going to carry you, Okay?" Zack informed her and Max nodded.
Zack rushed to Logans car and use that to ride to his apartment with Max in the back seat. As soon as Zack pulled away from Max once he had placed her in the car she curled up into a ball shape and closed her eyes. Zack adjusted his mirror so he could keep and eye on Max while he was driving."No, Max wake up" Zack ordered when he noticed Max had fallen asleep.
"Zack" she muttered weakly without opening her eyes.
"Come on stay with me" he softly said as he reached to take her hand in his.
"Zack, i can't" she protested
"You have to for the baby" Zack said
"There is no baby" Max informed him and his heart sank.
"Max don't say that" he told her as tears swelled up in his eyes at the thought of losing the baby.
"But i can't feel it" she muttered
"No, our babies there" Zack was sure of it.
As soon as he was parked he rushed into the house with Max in his arms. She wasn't moving or responding as he talked to her. "Max come on wake up" he said.
He blurred into the kitchen cleared the table with one hand, the paced Max down on it. Zack blurred into the bathroom as fast as he could before returning to her side with a first aid box.
"Max wake up the baby needs you" he told her as he opened the box but she didn't.
"Wake up soldier" he barked holding her hand in his as he massaged it hoping Max would wake up. Zack knew Max hated being called a soldier and that would wake her up but it failed. Zack leaned on the table with his left elbow and softly brushed Max hair with his right and thought back to Logans apartment when he touched Max wound and she screamed in pain.
"Maxie i'm sorry but this is the only way to wake you up" he whispered into her ear then he pulled back far enough to see her face and slowly he prodded Max wound with his hand but her face was still emotionless. Zack couldn't hold back the tears anymore, they fell onto Max cheek.
He took a deep breath knowing he would really have to hurt Max to wake her up. He forced his hand into the stomach wound causing it to start bleeding again. He slowly moved his hand on the wound and Max eyes flew open and she screamed in pain and she shed some tears. Zack kissed her to muffle her scream of pain. While Zack took his hand away from her wound, Max hand flew there but Zack stopped her from putting in on her wound. He grabbed a bandage and placed into in the palm of her hand then Zack placed his and Max hand on the wound to stop it from bleeding. Zack broke the kiss and said "I'm so sorry Max. It was the only way to wake you up"
"Okay" she muttered weakly
"This might sting a little. It's to fight off infection" Zack informed Max and poured some alcohol onto a bandage, then placed in on Max stomach wound before she could protest. When it made contact with her skin Max growled in pain.
"Oh does that mean to hate me?" Zack asked as he began to place a small square bandage over the cut.
"Yes, very very much" she hissed
Max woke up the next night around seven o'clock with someone tickling her stomach. Zack had took off half the sticky square bandage he put on the night before and he gently run his fingers over the area it was all healed.
"That tickles" Max smiled as she placed a hand on Zacks after he pulled the whole bandage off .
"Morning sleeping beauty" he returned the smile.
"I'm sorry Zack i should have listened to you when you told me not to go" Max apologised.
"You have nothing to be sorry for i should have gone with you" Zack answered
"I didn't mean it..when i said i hated you" Max told him.
"I know Maxie and i'm sorry for putting you through so much pain" Zack said then his eyes fell from Max face to her stomach where his hand was onto of Maxs.
"The baby's okay zack" she reassure him
"You sure?" He asked hoping everything was okay.
"Yes, feel here" she took his hand in hers and placed it on a different part of her stomach and smiled.
"That feels..Like a pulse" Zack smiled happily knowing both Max and his child were safe.
