Part 47B
****************
“NO! Don’t give her that!”
Alex tried to hide his triumphant smile behind his hand at Max’s reaction. He had thought that since Max and Liz had yet to say anything to them about the impending pregnancy, that he would have to dance circles around them, trying to trick them into saying something. But just as he had predicted, the father to be was so overprotective of his wife that he was ready to mangle him for offering her a cup of coffee.
Oddly touched by the way Max looked, spoiling for a fight, Liz stood up and started rubbing Max’s tense shoulders. She had been so surprised to hear his loud voice that she had glanced at Alex to see if he were alarmed, instead, she saw a glimmer of cockiness in his blue eyes. It hadn’t clicked in her head then, but the pieces were slowly starting to fit together like a puzzle. She had thought it weird that Alex was up so early in the morning offering her coffee, but her sneaky friend was fishing around for information.
“Baby, relax.” Liz cooed softly in her husband’s ear, her hands slowly running down his taut muscles of his arms. She kissed him behind his ear, feeling him shudder as she did so.
Making a face, Alex covered his eyes with his hands. “Oh man, can’t you guys go five minutes without feeling the need to get all touchy feely?”
Counting to five, Max tried to get his breathing under control. The cold shower had done nothing to improve his situation and Liz’s hands were doing nothing to help relieve him. If Alex wasn’t here right now, he probably would have thrown Liz on the kitchen counter and tried to teach her a thing or two about teasing him mercilessly. It felt like his groin was on fire, his whole body burning with arousal.
“Please, like you can actually stop giving my sister mooning looks when you think she’s not looking.” He made a gagging sound. “It’s enough to make a person want to gag.”
“Ha, ha.” Alex retorted, seeing where Max was headed with this. He had already caught them, but now he wanted to get more concrete information to hand back to his superior. She was very specific about wanting the goods on their friends. If he wanted to be alive to see his son grow up to be a man, he would need to go on.
Trying to play it cool, he reached into his pocket, pressing record on the tape recorder Maria had provided him with. He wasn’t kidding when he said Maria was determined.
“So what’s the deal with the coffee?” Alex rubbed his chin, acting as nonchalant as he could.
Max was about to open his big mouth when Liz smacked him a lingering kiss before squeezing his ass. When he was dazed out of his mind, Liz pushed him in the direction towards the stairs.
“Honey, why don’t you wake up the kids. I’m going to start breakfast.”
Snapping his mouth open and closed to find something to say to what had just occurred, Max shook his head and just headed up the stairs. Liz sure was acting funny, but he just figured it was her hormones acting up. Seeing as how sensitive she had gotten during her first pregnancy, he didn’t want to upset her.
When Max was out of earshot, Liz reached over the table and pinched Alex.
“Owie!” He rubbed his arm pitifully as he glared at Liz. Feigning emotional and physical pain, Alex stepped away dramatically. “This is some way to treat your friend who brings you coffee in the morning.”
Liz rolled her eyes. “Give it up, Whitman. I know what this little visit is all about.” She folded her arms over her chest.
Feeling his Adam’s apple bob dangerously against his throat, Alex took another step back, afraid of what Liz was going to do. Normally, he wouldn’t worry about it, but she was pregnant after all. He had thought about telling her a fib, but he didn’t want to die prematurely in the hands of a hormonally charged pregnant woman.
“Just so you know, this is all Maria’s idea. She threatened bodily harm if I didn’t do this.”
Almost as if a light bulb was going off in her head, Liz smacked her hand against the table. “I should of known. You’re not clever enough to have thought of this all by yourself.”
“Hey!”
She shook her head, reaching over to pat his hand. “That’s not what I meant. Fishing around for information isn’t your style. You’re a little more forward. If this was just you, you would’ve just asked me straight out if I was pregnant.”
Stuffing his hands in his pockets, Alex shrugged his shoulders as he prayed that the recorder was taping this. “Well, are you?”
Just as she nodded, the tape recorder went haywire, almost as if eating the tape. Raising her eyebrow, Liz grabbed his hand and pulled out the tape recorder. “Alex,” she said warningly.
Holding up his hands in defeat, Alex looked at Liz apologetically. “That was all Maria. You have no idea how much that woman scares me.”
Liz just nodded in understanding as she pointed Alex to the door. “Don’t worry. I believe you. This has Maria written all over it. But you should go home now. I’ll take care of Maria.” She held onto the tape recorder. “And as for this, I’ll be keeping until I figure out how to deal with our good friend.”
Gulping, Alex stood by the door, afraid to leave just yet. “You’re not going to tell Maria that I caved, are you?”
“I won’t tell her that you cried like a baby,” she grinned.
Looking towards the stairs, Alex gulped again, remembering the murderous look in Max’s eyes as he offered Liz coffee. “And Max? You’re not going to let him hurt me, are you? After all, I am the father of his sister’s son.”
Liz just smiled. “I won’t let Max kill you, okay.” She stood up and shooed him away. “Now go!”
But when he would’ve walked out the door, he grabbed her in a fierce hug, giving her a friendly kiss on the cheek. “Congratulations on the baby, Liz.”
“Thanks, Alex.”
****************
After being kicked out of his son’s room for trying to wake him up, Max headed for his daughter’s bedroom. Maybe he’d have more luck trying to wake her up.
Creeping in, he sat on the edge of her bed as he watched her sleeping. She looked just like Liz, so tiny and precious. Stroking her hair away from her face, he smiled when her long lashes lifted from her rosy cheeks.
“Daddy,” she said softly. She turned on her side, her round eyes closing as sleep tried to claim her again.
Max kissed her temple as he pulled the sheets up to her chin. “Momma’s making breakfast. You should wake up now and brush your teeth.”
Her brow crinkled as she burrowed deeper into the covers as she yawned, fighting to stay awake to converse with her father. “But I jus brushed dem las nite,” she whined.
Trying his hardest not to laugh, Max brushed his finger over her chubby fist. “Come puddin’. It’s time to wake up.”
In answer to his plea, he heard her snoring softly as her hand squeezed his finger tightly, just as she used to do when she was a baby. His heart swelled in his chest and he knew he couldn’t wait to be a father again.
“Ahem.”
Turning around, he saw Liz smiling at him seductively from the door.
“I got rid of Alex.”
Not needing any further invitation, Max pulled his hand from his daughter’s as delicately as he could without waking her. But just as he was about to leave her room, he heard her call out softly to him.
“Where you goin’?”
He froze when he saw her staring at him.
“I was going to check on momma. You can go back to sleep.”
She tilted her head to the side as she studied him. “Do I hafta brush my teef?”
He grinned at her. “Not yet, puddin’.”
She yawned loudly as she stretched her arms high above her head, a smile playing against her pouty lips as she fell back against the covers. “Kay, but don forgit. Tree meals a day, daddy.”
Max chuckled softly as he felt Liz drag him away. “I promise, puddin’. Three meals a day.”
