AN: Its been forever since I updated this, but I was missing me some Max and Alec! So this is kinda turned into a song fic because Alicia Keys song Like You'll Never See Me Again gave me the inspiration for this. It's cheesy! Don't say I didn't warn you! Didn't use a Beta and sorry about the format it was giving me trouble so I gave up! (Does anyone know how to make FFN behave?)

Enjoy!

Last

If I had no more time

No more time left to be here

Would you cherish what we had?

Was it everything you where looking for?

Max Guevara sped thru the halls of the med building in Terminal City, her fingers dashing at the tears streaming down her face. OC and Logan were waiting outside a room when she turned the corner. Her brother Krit was there leaning against the wall along with Gem.

"I want to see him." She said softly.

'He's in surgery. You can't go in." Logan said.

"You don't have the right to tell me no." Max said again her voice still scarily soft.

"Max, I am not trying to do that. I'm just saying that if you go in that door it will be a distraction and Alec needs all of their concentration right now."

Max closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"How bad is it?"

Logan opened his mouth to answer but no sound came out and he looked away from Max avoiding her tear brightened eyes.

If I couldn't feel your touch

And no longer were you with me

I'd be wishing you were here

To be everything that I'd be looking for

Max wasn't gonna waste her time. She walked around Logan to stand in front of Krit.

"How bad is he?" She repeated her voice just on the edge of desperation.

"The familiar hit his bike head on…then he got hit three times in the back with bullets. We still can't believe he had the strength to make it back to T. C." Krit said in a very matter of fact tone. He knew his sister well. She wouldn't want him to sugar coat Alec's condition. "Max, he's lost a lot of blood.

"We had a fight. He came home late and I was pissed so I made him leave. It was stupid! And look what happened! He should be home with me, not in here fighting for his life." She cried wiping futilely at her tears.

Original Cindy walked over and wrapped Max in a hug.

"Boo, this is not your fault. This is White holding a dumbass grudge. Boy needs to get a new career. It's been five years since that lame cult crap turned out to be nothing. He still turning my boo's world upside down." Cindy said angrily.

"If Alec doesn't make it…" Max choked.

"Don't even go there. Do you really think your hot boy is gonna let you have the last word." Cindy tried to reassure her friend, but worry shone too bright in her eyes.

"I am still gonna kill White." Max promised

I don't wanna forget that the present is a gift

And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me

'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

Her vow just passed her lips when the dull metal doors flew open and an X-5 whose expertise is medicine stepped thru. Jade was the best they had and Max was relieved Alec was in her care.

"Iris...?" Max stopped afraid to hear what the doc had to say.

"He's stable. We gave him a blood transfusion, which helped greatly. His body experienced a massive amount of trauma and he is healing at a decreased rate. He still has not regained consciousness, which really in this case is expected. He's not in the clear yet, but he is strong and he's a fighter." Iris informed her in her normal businesslike manner.

Max nodded. "Can I see him?"

"You've got ten minutes." Iris clipped as she turned and walked down the hall, probably to check on other patients.

So every time you hold me

Hold me like this is the last time

Every time you kiss me

Kiss me like you'll never see me again

Every time you touch me

Touch me like this is the last time

Promise that you'll love me

Love me like you'll never see me again

Max stood in the room but she hadn't approached Alec's bed. He looked so vulnerable laying there with IV's and monitors attached to him.

She slowly walked towards the bed and she had to muffle a moan once she got a better look at his bruised and battered face. It was two in the morning and usually they would have just gotten back to their apartment after a long day at headquarters. Today she was praying to God and anyone that her Alec would be okay.

She reached out and grasped Alec's hand in her smaller one and she brought it to her lips.

"Please be okay." She pleaded against his cold hand. She wanted to climb into the bed and just rest beside him. She was too scared she might jar something out of place. So she stood there holding his hand as if trying to will him back to health.

"Max?"

Max looked up to see Iris standing in the doorway and she knew it was time to leave. She couldn't believe ten minutes was already up.

"I know you want to stay, I would feel the same if our positions were reversed. He's not out of the woods yet and we need to have unlimited access. After tonight you should be able to stay with him." Iris said a quick flash of sympathy was in her eyes and face before she quickly covered it up.

Max just nodded, pressed a kiss to Alec's palm and left. She wouldn't argue if it would improve Alec's condition.

I don't wanna forget that the present is a gift

And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me

'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

Cindy did her best to keep Max company when she wasn't with Alec at the med building. Max didn't make it easy. She didn't sleep at all and she insisted on working when she wasn't by Alec's side. This meant snapping at everyone who looked her way and pacing back and forth like a natural lunatic. OC was scared to leave the rest of TC alone with Max but she couldn't stay much longer because of the toxins. Mole was threatening to have her banned from command until Alec woke the fuck up. Then Max's phone rang putting a stop to the chaos.

"Alec's regained consciousness." Max said already heading out the door at a pace too quickly for Cindy to even try to keep up with.

Max busted into Alec's room to see him looking a million times better. He was sitting up in the bed talking to a female X-5 trying to charm her into bringing a TV into his room. When he saw Max standing in the door his face immediately lit up and he motioned the other girl to leave the room. She shot an amused smile at Max as she left. Max didn't notice she was too busy just looking at Alec.

"Come here." Alec said his voice raspy with disuse, but he still gave her his trademark smirk.

Max didn't need to be asked twice she was in his arms in one second flat. Before she knew it she was crying all over him and apologizing. Then she was threatening him not to tell anyone that she was such a big baby.

"Don't make me laugh, it hurts." He gasped.

"I'm serious I'll kick your bitch ass!" She said, trying not to laugh. She was so happy he was awake and healthy and here with her again.

So every time you hold me

Hold me like it's the last time

Every time you kiss me

Kiss me like you'll never see me again

Every time you touch me

Touch me like it's the last time

Promise that you'll love me

Love me like you'll never see me again

Alec was able to leave the hospital two days later. He was a little sore but that was the extent of his discomfort. He followed Max into the apartment they shared, totally ready to get busy. He let Max know exactly what his intentions were as he pulled her against his body before the front door was completely closed.

"You just got out of the hospital." Max laughed.

"I don't care, I missed you and I wanna show you how much. Besides I'm as right as rain." He winked at her as his hands began roaming under her top.

"Are you sure" Max shivered as his lips brushed against her temple.

"Make love with me Maxie." He answered huskily.

Later, Max laid on top of Alec, her hands folded on top of his chest, her chin resting on her hands as she studied Alec's face. It was the best view around and she couldn't get enough of his masculine jaw, full firm mouth, and green-gold eyes.

"What are you looking at?" He asked with heavy lidded eyes.

"You." Max smiled. "I really am sorry, ya know."

"I am too." He placed a kiss on her mouth.

"Let's never do that again. I can't stand the thought that the last thing we did was fight and then you got hurt." She whispered against his lips.

Alec's arms tightened around her and he held her like it was the last time.

"Never." He agreed.

They still argued and fought like it was nobody's business, but from that moment on they never went to bed mad. And they always kissed each other like it was the last time.
