Rating: R Category: Alex/Tess Part 2 In the entire five minutes since Alex walked through the front door no one had moved a single inch. Almost as if everyone was holding their breath, waiting in anticipation for what was going to happen next. "Alex?" Isabel finally choked out. Tess felt Isabel loosen her hold out of the shock of seeing Alex alive. Seizing the opportunity Tess broke free from her grip and ran across the room. Tess hid behind Alex, her hands resting on his shoulders. "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Isabel shouted raising her hand and aiming it at Tess. "Isabel, please calm down," Alex said. "Calm down!?!" Maria asked. "Alex, she killed you, and then she seduced Max, got pregnant and tried to get us killed." "That's not what happened," Tess said quietly. "I know right now everything must be very confusing," Alex said. "But if you give me and Tess a chance we'll explain everything." Liz looked to the others and could tell they were very uncertain as to what to do. Believing in that she could trust Alex and that he could explain what was going on, she sided with him. "Let's hear what they have to say," Liz said. Max looked to Michael, Maria, and Isabel. He saw their frustration and nervousness, and knew that in order to get the answers they so desperately needed right now, he was going to have to listen to what Alex and Tess had to say. "Okay, we'll listen," Max said. "But if you try anything, Tess," Michael warned. "She won't," Alex said. "You can trust her." "That remains to be seen," Max said. "But first things first, let me have my son." Max held his hands out and took a step towards Alex to take the baby. Alex dropped the coffee tray wrapped his other arm around the child and stepped back. "Alex, what are you doing?" Liz asked. "Give my son, Alex," Max said. "I'm afraid I can't do that," Alex said. "What?" Max asked angrily. "Why not?" "Because he's not your son," Alex said. "He's mine." End Part 2 |
