Max tried not to lean on Abby to much as he climbed the stairs. He used the railing and wall for more balance, he didn't want to fall and take them both down. He didn't want to hurt her either. He used her to support his weight when he had to and let out a sigh of relief at the top. From there he hobbled into the room and sat on the bed.
He watched Abbt sit across from her and smiled. He could see the fear in her eyes and placed a had on her knee to comfort her. "Okay let's talk," he said leaning back. "What are we talking about? You should eat something, but we can talk first." He laid back on the bed, his head on the pillow. He could feel Abby sitting below him.
Abby stared at him, and frowned, as he laid back. Damn him! He always did this. Why did he do this? Distract her. She found herself fighting with wanting to talk to him and wanting desperately to crawl up on the bed nest to him and letting him hold her. She sighed, and swallowed, 'I know you are, I'm sorry." she spoke softly and looked out the window, "It can keep , I guess. I should go get you some dinner while they still have some." She shifted and started to move. She felt like he didn't want to talk, and was afraid to push it. She remembered how he acted in the pharmacy. A flash of the picture of him, in the store crossed her mind. God , she did not want that.

"No lets talk first," Max said sitting back up. He groaned as he did, the bruises hurting. He looked into her eyes. He could tell that she wanted to talk, so he would. If he put it off then she would get angry, like earlier. He put his hand on her shoulder and smiled. "I'm not leaving, you're not either till we have this talk. So talk, we can eat, sleep, and take painmeds after."
He looked down at her. "What did you want to talk about? About this," he asked, placing a hand on her stomach, "is this what you wanted to talk about. What will happen with us, with it. Is that what you want to discuss?"
Abby was a bit taken aback at his reaction. He sat up and placed his hand on her abdomen. She felt her mouth slack open a moment and clamped it shut. Her eyes stared at him, and she reached out and her palm caressed his cheek, "You went off and I was scared. You took too long , so I was afraid you weren't coming back." Tears filled her eyes, and she turned her head, looking out the window, avoiding those eyes. "I need to know how you feel about it." She let go of his cheek and placed her hand over his. "I'm scared." She took a deep breath and let it out. She glanced at him. There, she had said it, admitted it. "Max, I care about you, I, " she again sought the window, 'I put myself and our baby in danger today to find you, to bring you back, I must be out of my mind." She looked down at her hand, 'I needed to find you, to find out how you felt, cause I need to know, so I know what I have to do." She lifted her eyes to his face, slowly, "I will understand, trust me, I know I am alot younger than you, and that you didn't mean for this to happen." Again, the image from the pharmacy crossed her mind, "I know we haven't been together long, but I, " she swallowed, "I am falling in love with you and if you don't feel something for me, I can understand , I'm not expecting you to, but I just need to hear it from you, so I can deal with it and figure things out for myself." She was being honest, something she was scared to death about. "I ...saw Pete's face today, I keep seeing it." She screwed her face up and shook her head, "I don't know why, I can't it just is there, when I killed that man, in the woods, it was Pete's face I saw, Max." She lifted her face to him, "What does that mean?" She looked ready to fall apart, "I am a good person, right? I could be a good mother, right?"

"I needed to clear my head. I didn't expect that to happen," Max said as he squeezed her leg, "I found the house, it was empty. I didn't lnow they'd show up. I didn't want to put anyone in danger, or worrt anyone. You shouldn't have risked your own life. Charles or Amber should have left, you didn't need to. But you did. And I'm grateful."
He felt her tears and rushe to her side, his arm around her. "You don't need to be scared. Nothing is going to happen. I'm here, we're safe. You don't need to worry for me, I can handle myself."
She went off about her loving him, and his reaction to all of this. They were together, sure she was younger, but that didn't matter. He was falling for her, already had. "I care for you Abby, you know that. I don't want you to die for my stupid mistake. I don't ever want that. I feel something for you, I can't explain it but I do. I love what we have, I don't give a fuck about anything else. I never gave a fuck about anything, but I do for you. Right now you mean everything to me. I'd risk it all for you, and have. No we haven't been together long, but we're close. I'm closer to you than I have gotten with anyone else. We click, it scares me that we click so much. You've changed since I first met you, but so have I. Changed for better and for worse."
He took her hand and squeezed it. She mentioned Pete, the man she had killed. Max closed his eyes. "Was he...was he your first. First kill I mean," he brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. "First kill, besides one of those things." He rubbed her hand, "I remember my first kill, I can see it when I close my eyes. I was seventeen, a skinny little shit. My brother was there, some thugs beating on him. There was a gun, I fired, the guy went down." He shook his head, "my bullet didn't hit him though. He had fallen before the shot, brother knocked him. Instead the bullet sailed through the window behind him. Some lady was there. She was blonde, long curly hair, those thigs in or, what are they. The colourful things old women wear. She had that. Pink bathrobe, blood stained the front." He leaned away from her, "that was a long time ago, really long."
They clicked. They was he said that made her smile. He was close now and holding her. He made it all better, being there, close like that. His hand lifted her hand and kissed it. He asked about her first, 'Yes, before, it had been those things, I mean, we have to kill those, but I hadn't, not another person." She swallowed as he spoke about him being younger. She hadn't realized, knew something was hard, different about him, but never would she have thought that.
Abby shifted,and faced him, looking in his eyes, "You want this baby, then? " Her eyes searched his, and she leaned her face closer, 'I know your scared about it, what you said in the pharmacy, I know." She murmured against his lips, "I am too, this is a fucked up world, and I am scared to bring something so innocent into it, but, " she looked in his eyes, "I want it, its me and you, and as fucked up as it is, we fit." She gripped his hand, 'I went for you, I did what I needed to do, for you, I killed for you, and I would do it again, in a heartbeat." Her lips touched his, "Please, just tell me though your afraid of it, you want it, you want me?" She kissed him again.

"It was my first kill," he said smiling as they held each other, "many kills ago." He pressed his froehead against hers. "It will get easier. You'll have to do it again, and again to keep this baby and me alive." He swallowed a lump in his throat, "but it will get easier. With every kill it gets easier. Like killing those things, it becomes second hand to kill."
She went on and spoke again his lips. He felt her kiss him and that's all he could think about, her, her lips. "I want it," he said with a small sigh, "now that it's here I want it. Since its in you, I want it. I want you, it. I'd rather we never had to have all this, the foolish act to conceive it. But it happened and I live with what we did, we both do. I want it now, I didn't before, but I do. We've barely known eachother a month, and I want it."
She said she'd kill for him, and had. He could see that she meant it, and kissd her deeply. "I'm afraid yes. Afraid of the responsibility. Afraid that I'll fuck it up and get you both killed. I'm afraid it won't live, or you'll die and I'll be stuck without you. Im afraid that we can't raise it, that we'll fail. In this world it's fucked up. It shouldn't happen, but it did. We brought life to the world of the dead, that has to count for something. Plus someone has to keep the human population alive," he said adding a smirk to the last bit, "I want you abby, and it. I'm afraid, but it will be okay."
Abby stared at his face. Her hands came up to caress the back of his head, as she shifted and closed the distance, wrapping her arms around him. He had given her what she desperately wanted, and she knew it was hard for him. The truth, the raw , no bullshit truth of his emotions, and god , she loved him for that. She held him, careful not to hold him too tight. She let go slowly, "I love you, Max." She spoke against his ear. He was right, this was all fucked up, but they would deal with it, together. That was what she need to hear from him. She pulled back slowly, "You know, I fibbed, a little bit, about my experience." She smirked at him, "Wasn't no virgin, but I didn't give it away willy nilly , either." She licked her lips and shrugged< ' thank you." She reached out and caressed his cheek.

He felt her close to him, his lips on hers. Max kissed over and over again, holding her close, his hands roaming her back. "And I love you," he said as he kissed her neck. He was smiling now. Not a smartass smirk, a genuine smile. He looked her and listened to her breathing, her voice moving agaisn him. He tuned her back more and leaned back to view her full face.
"Wait so you did kill someone before Pete," he asked his smile fading, "oh wait, you mean sex. You know you never said you were, Infact I remember you saying something about some track kid, or something like that. You never said you were a virgin, and I could tell from experience you weren't." He kissed her again, "I also don't care. You could be the worst fuck ever and I wouldn't care. I don't care about that. Sure it's fun, crazy, and so fucking good, but I like just staring at you."
The way he looked at her and talked about not caring about sex made her laugh. She smiled at him and resettled herself." So, tell me more, whatever you want me to know, want to share with me." She shoved her boots off and let them fall to the floor. She knew she looked like hell, felt like she was dysfunctional right now anyway. She slipped off the bed and moved to the closet. She was shadowed in that part of the room."you had a brother, I didn't know that." She took off her dirty clothes and slipped a long tee shirt on before coming back to the bed. She crawled up next to him and say there, staring at him," you know more about me than I know about you."

Max watched her slide off the bed to go change. He couldn't see much, she was shadowed, but still she looked amazing. When she came back and beaide him he wrapped an arm around her. She wanted to know more about him, he wouldn't reveal more than he had to. If she asked he would tell her, but he wasn't just going to spill his past out. What he had done, it was dangerous, could change her view of him.
"Yeah I had a brother," Max said, "older. Fifteen, Eighteen, years older. He was an ass, but he raised me. He's probably the reason I am who I am today. Growing up I always wanted to be like my older brother, idled him. To bad he was a scumbag, street thug, drug addict, and was in jail and fights more times than I can count. Probably not the best idle. He's dead now though, Sinners took care of that."
He leaned back on the bed, propped hinself up on his elbows. "You know I don't know much about you. You were a waitress, ran track, lived with parents. You have a short temper and a cute behind, but I don't know much more than that. But if you want to know more about me than just ask, I'll try and open up."
He was willing to talk to her, to try and that was all she could ever ask of anyone. She watched him lean back and she stared at him, smiling," I have a cute behind, huh?" She chuckled," well, he may not have been the best, but your here, you survived because of all that, right?" She laid down and propped her head up on her hand, elbow resting on the mattress." Alright, well, your older, so ever been married, or close to it, like how many women have you been with, rough figure. I mean with those eyes, bet you got your fair share of play." She grinned at him, trying to ease into the heavier stuff she wanted to know.

"Yeah I did. What I learnt from him is the reason I've survived. He did teach me good things, how to hunt, survive on my own. How to make a box of goldfish last a kid a month. How to Hotwire a car, syphine gas, skin an animal, all him. How to take a punch, and give one. Of course I leanrt many other things as I went on, through my career, and life," he said with a smirk, "and yeah, you do have cute one." He stuck out his tongue and kissed her forehead.
She went on to ask him about all the women he slept with, he blushed as she asked. He couldn't recall and exact number, it was up there. He wasn't faithful, never had he gotten serious. This woman, she was asking for an answer he couldn't give. He wanted to, he just didn't know the answer. Max realized he wasn't answering and cought as he went to speak.
"No never married," he said letting out a sigh, "never that serious. Two other women I've gotten serious with, both didn't last. As for how many women, enough. I got around, lots of bars, one night stands. I don't know the exact number, but it's up there. Most I can't even remember. Probably way more than you though, just a guess."
Abby eyed his face as he spoke. You could tell a lot by facial expressions as someone thought before they actually spoke. She smiled as he spoke about the things his brother had taught him, since that seemed to come easily for him. Her eye brow raised as he paused before answering her question. Never serious and probably never faithful either, she thought as he answered her. His statement about her number caused her to laugh," probably right." She held up one hand and displayed four fingers," I wasn't the type of girl you had a relationship with, guys didn't wanna ruin their reps, just have a good time, but I wasn't a ho, either, so, I was picky about who I actually let dip their prick." She shrugged," when you have a nervous breakdown your junior year, guys don't want to actually date you, just bang you and forget you." She sat up and leaned over him, looking him right in the eyes,"you are mine, I will fight for what is mine, " she smirked at him devilishly," kill for it , even." That grin turned impish," so be careful about wandering, and I will do my best to keep you satisfied so you don't feel the need."

"What kind of break down," Max asked looking up at her, "like the one you had when I suggested we went back the other way the day we first met. Yelling, crying and freaking out." He smiled at her, teasing her, "what did you break down over? Didn't hit anyone with a bat did you? May not feel special then." He watche her look at him, and how she said she'd kill for him. He smiled. "I would too Allstar. Don't worry. I'd kill anyone who'd try and hurt you. Kill them all. I care for you. I'm not wandering anywhere, I'm on you now. You keep me satisfied, you keep it fun, gang wars, angry biker, pregnancies, I'm not going anywhere."
Abby shouldn't have said anything, brought up her past. She listened to him ask questions. She said she would answer if he would. She took a deep breath. She felt better with what he said. He seemed honest about how he felt.
She didn't look at him, not at first. A deep breath and slow exhale," long story short," she paused," I couldn't take the pressure of being perfect, of the expectations to have the right grades, play the right sports, and socialize with the right people." Abby finally looked at him," it was like that. Completely wigged out, wouldn't eat, stayed shut up in my room, didn't talk to anyone for weeks." She gave a forced laugh," I wore the same fuzzy jams for a week, didn't shower , didn't even brush my teeth. Just shut down." Abby was afraid he would think she was nuts," parents sent me away, got put on meds, and got back in school for senior year." She waited for him to say something, anything.

"You were perfect," Max asked, "I figured with your attitude and way of thinking you wouldn't have been the perfect grade socialite. Glad you freaked out, you're bettter not beig perfect. Being perfect is lame. Where the fun in it, hiding from what you are. Do you think it worked out? Turned out better for you after you flipped and broke down."
He smiled at her, "well you were just training for all this. Not talking to anyone in weeks, not brushing your teeth or showering. Wearing fuzzy pajamas, okay sweats, but same thing. Not eating, ststing in your room away from everyone. Could be why you survived." He reached out for your hand, "we all break down, better then, than now. You survived you're a fighter. What was like comig back though?"
Abby could t help but smile at his comment about her attitude," well, before it happened, I wouldn't have dreamed of back talking, I tried to just please everyone, fit in." She smirked," it worked out different, in a good way. I still over analyze things, but if I am mad, people know it, and all my other emotions. I have freak out moments. Like when I get overwhelmed, but who wouldn't in this fucked up world, right?" She stared at him," so you like my crazy?" She chuckled softly," before the world went crazy, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to someone like you. Sorta why I did track my senior year. It was freeing to just run, I could let go and just run, if that makes sense." She crossed her legs and shifted a bit," once the meds ran out,I knew I couldn't get more and needed to deal, so I have been." Abby glanced at the window," I can go get you some food , if you want?" She glanced back at him," you said your job helped you survive, what did you do, before the sinners?"

"You freak out all you want. If someone doesn't like it I'll tell them to fuck off," Max said with another smirk, "you do what you want, don't let anyone else guide you. You don't need to follow society, being fucked up, like myself, that's perfect." He laughed a little and kissed her softly before she sat up. He did as well, stretching out his arms and legs.
"So these meds. You don't need them for medical issues do you? Or were they just to stop the freak outs? I'm just asking cause if it stops something medical related, seizures, or shit like that we can find some. If you need it let Brian know, he can add it to the med list. The next run, I'll make sure we are bringing some back. But if you don't need it then dont."
She asked about his job and he looked away. "I fixed bikes," he said, not a lie, but not the whole truth, "I also was a tracker. If someone needed someone else to be found, I found them. Once found I became something else, a contractor." He swallowed a lump in his throat. "When I wasn't tracking and taking care of the prey I fixed bikes though. Had my own shop, parts, apartment upstairs. Wasn't open to the public, it was private, I only fixed what I wanted to fix. More of a hobby than a job." He smiled, "I'd love some food though, Louis worked all day on it. Some alchohol too, the good stuff we were supposed to be saving but someone opened."
Abby felt the cold of realization creep up the back of her neck andale her hair stand on end. He was a hired killer before all this. She couldn't help it, a d knew her first reaction of fear was readable across her face. She drew back from him a little bit, then relaxed. This was Max, he had saved her life, he had just said how much he loved her. She licked her lips. His job was the reason he had survived, how he had kept her safe and alive. That side of him is what would keep her baby alive.
Abby shook her head," no, it was antidepressants and anxiety pills." She wouldn't need them and wouldn't take them now if she had to because of the baby. Her legs incurred and she grabbed a pair of jeans from the floor, pulling them on and up her legs, she stood up," alright, I will be right back with food and your drink." She smiled at him, then leaned over and ran a hand over his cheek" you know I don't care about that, past is past, it makes you able to me and your child safe, and that's good enough for me." She opened the door and ran down stairs barefoot to get him what he asked for.
