| //You thought that you were doing the right thing... and at this point I have no idea what the right thing is..... you know me, I'm the big worrier, I worry about everything and I just wish that we could know what happened to Alex2... like what he saw....maybe it could help us with some answers?// Liz lightned up a little when she realized that Max didn't blame her for letting this happen. He just wanted to know what Alex2 saw so that they could figure some things out. The wait was making him more antsy and tense. Hence all the mental beating and the kicking of himself. Liz finally met his eyes and melted. Even after 16 years of looking into those eyes, it still captured her. And made her fall in love with him all over again. *Those eyes should be declared illegal* Liz grumbled to herself as she pulled away from his gaze who knows how many minutes later. Max grinned and Liz knew that he heard her. And she just smiled at him. Suddenly a whimper and a shifting of the little boy in Liz's arms shook the couple out of their love-induced haze. Almost immediantely Max and Michael were down on their knee's looking at him. "Hey! Are you okay Alex2?" Max rubbed Alex2's stomach lightly. "Uncle Max???" he asked sleepily. "Yeah. What happened?" "Oh, Uncle Max!" he said and sat up abrubtly completely awake now "It was awful! I saw a mean blonde haired lady do something bad to him that made him fall on the ground. Then her and Mr. Kyle put him in a car. He looked like he was sleeping. And then I saw him in a really white place but he- he- he wasn't happy so somebody told him that he could come back home to mommy. It-it-it was a long time before he was allowed to come back but he's here..." he said looking over at Alex with awe in his voice "he's here for my mommy and me...." and before anyone could get a word in he added "oh, and he's fine Uncle Mikey he's just really tired. the....." he tried to find the right word ".....journey....... took a lot out of him." Max and Michael sat back on their haunches as they processed what Alex2 said. Liz stroked Alex2's back soothingly as her own mind scrambled to make sense of what was told. Isabel as frozen on the couch. She had heard every word that her baby boy had said and was now in some sort of shock. Alex was still peacefully unconcious on the couch. "Isabel....." Max stood up and walked over to her. "Why don't we put Alex upstairs in the guest bedroom until he wakes up?" Max suggested carefully. That shook Isabel out of whatever shock she was in. "Um yeah..... okay Max." Max nodded and turned to Micheal who was calmly talking to Alex2. "He's tired, I'm gonna bring him upstairs and then I'll help you with him." Michael said and then motioned to Alex on the couch. Max nodded and Michael stood up with the little boy in his arms. He disapeared up the stairs and moments later he was back. "The others are waking up." Micheal said and waited for Max to tell him what they were going to do. "Let's get him upstairs and then we'll decide what we're going to tell them okay?" Max questioned and Michael nodded his agreement as did Liz and Isabel. |
