Max knew the driver is gonna take about an hour. And even though Kino that Deanna wasn't going to continuously ask questions about different things. Because she had enough to think about already, there were so many things that were probably going on in her head that he was curious to find out. But right now, he had to focus on what they were going to be walking into.
He had managed to stay away from his family for such a long period of time. That he honestly didn't know what he was going to find. He had actually sat outside their house a couple of times just to see them. He knew that they had gotten older. And even though the phone calls came in at weird times of the day, he always took them, and he was willing to do that. He was willing to let them back in his life, but he still had a lot of reservations that he knew were going to take a lot of time for him. It wasn't like he was going to completely forgive and forget.
His parents had a
When they pulled into the hospital, Max had to take a deep breath as he went around the car, and he got Deanna out. He knew that chivalry was pretty much dead, but at the same time, he knew that his grandmother, somebody who had actually cared about him when he was growing up, would come back in on him if he didn't do the most basic thing. Including opening doors for women are treating everybody with respect. He had actually respected their older woman enough that to this day, he thought of her every time he did so. She was an older generation where respect was definitely given without question. And he tried to follow all the rules that she had set forth for him and all of his cousins. He wasn't willing to raise the dead not to do something so simple as to open a door and show a little respect to the female that he actually wanted to spend the rest of his life with. When he had the thought, it was almost enough to be taken back. He looked at her and knew. It w
Max went to get the door and saw that his mother Marie was coming out of the door. She had grown older and her hair had slightly changed and had streaks of grey and it now. He had actually seen her from the street as he had parked across and watched the house and saw his parents inside. There were quite a few things about her that seemed smaller now that he was older. Though he was still their youngest son and she was just his mother. When he got out of the car and then managed to get Deanna out as well who was going to stand by him no matter what it seemed. His mother's eyes went straight to Deanna and then leave. When his mother started to confront him about her and how young she loved he almost laughed. The when he brought up his father and tried to change the subject because he really didn't want to get into the subject about Deanna any longer his mother's whole demeanor changed and he was able to read that right off the bat. That was when Max knew
Max saw red when his brother saw him. He had thrown the door open to the point that it slammed against the other wall and started the comeback in Max put up his hand to block it. That was when his brother actually looked at him smile deeply. He had actually jumped in the beginning and started to say,” what the fu-. then they teach you any manners?” “they taught me the same as you. What the hell is going on?” Max finally asked as he took a step deeper into the room and was nearly face to face with his brother. 10 years had made a huge difference between the two month period Max was now the tallest and the biggest. He was also a lot stronger than he had been a decade ago. He wasn't lanky young man. He had been able to put on a lot of lots of both in the military and with the department. He was quite happy with the way that he looked most of the time. He looked at his brother who had grown a little bit older and was now nearing 30 as well. There wa
when the social worker got there they begin to ask questions of Marie as they looked at the house and the condition that everything was in Max knew that they needed to stay outside but Deanna went in the house with her his mother. She had managed to talk the social worker into allowing her to be there just to comfort the older woman. Max without dealing with the units for the police trying to explain what was going on and why his brother was acting like a child. It wasn't something that he actually wanted the Police Department that she worked with quite often they have to deal with. However the entire family was now apart of this. Michael was banging his head against one of the windows in the cop car that he had been locked in. He was screaming and crying and doing everything that he could possibly do to get attention. The fact that he was being held accountable for his actions was something that he had never actually had to experience before. No one had
though they had a few things that they did still needed to do at the house before they could get to the hospital and the social worker needed a little bit of time to be able to clear Michael's power of attorney keyways absolutely shocked when Deanna had walked out of the house after talking to his mother and looked up at him instead, “Max your mother thinks that you're married.”next look up to the sky and wonder but hell he had actually walked into. He shook his head and replied that he had never been married. He was more confused with that statement than any other. He walked in and looked at his mother and repeated this statement and that's when he that they honestly believed anything that Michael had told him. His parents thought that he had been married this entire time and possibly had a family of his own even though he never said anything about it to them.He often wondered why Michael would say something in general but this actually mad
they went into the hospital and made their way up to the unit that his father was on. The nurses glared at him. The police just nodded knowing who he was by sight. They like to Deanna as well. As they walked into his father's room as they then cleared. He's like that his father and his father saw exactly who it was even though he was highly medicated.Maxim's father had a quick conversation as he knew that he was going to be able to get more straightforward answers even out of the highly medicated man than he would be able to get out of his mother. His mother was always wanted to make excuses for Michael whereas his father was more of a realist. Max was getting the answers that he knew that he absolutely needed to be able to understand the situation no his father was continuously glancing in Deanna's direction. He knew the reason why now because his mother had filled him in on the fact that Michael had failed the gap between his lies with the fact that Max was l
it was plain to see that the two of them were exhausted to each other and even themselves by the time they got back to Max's house. Max was trying to ignore the fact that Deanna stomach had been grumbling the entire time even though he thought it was absolutely the most cute thing that he had seen in quite a long time or heard. When they finally got into the house it made more noise and she looked absolutely astonished that her body was giving the fact that she was hungry away. He chuckled to himself as he continued to tell her it was perfectly fine and adorable, “I will order something to eat. After your classes tomorrow will go get some food at the grocery store. Thursday we start moving your stuff here, and then everything will fall into a normal schedule.” he said with a sigh and they went in and he could see that she was slightly dizzy. It seemed like when she walked she was walking a little bit sideways. She had to wonder if it had anything to do with
Max seemed to sense that something was going to happen. Right is the food was going to get there. It seemed like the air in the house had completely changed. Deanna had been in deep thought about quite a few things and it was plain to see that she needed to work them out and he couldn't have any influence on them. He was fine with that. Sometimes you have to work things out on your own to be able to move forward. He had actually learned that the hard way quite a few times. Including putting his entire personal life on hold for nearly ten years because he didn't want to deal with the particular situation. He was honestly hoping that it wasn't going to take her ten years to figure things out. But if it did he would still be there waiting right next door. This was fate According to him there was nothing else that it could possibly be. Even though he really didn't want to believe in an external force like fate or kismet or whatever you wanted to call it. That wasn't like h
The next few days Max was completely engrossed in going over the course from the beginning to the end. He had already rewritten at once and now he was going to make it more specific period he was already looking up case files and everything else that he could possibly do to get everything completely set. Though the paperwork Adam actually come in yet he was betting that it would any day now. He was OK with the fact that it wasn't totally official because he had the men’s word and his own captain's word working for him. He knew that they just had to make it more transferable on paper. He would leave that to them knowing that that was what it was going to be.the next few days he was also dealing with Deanna who is still in the middle of her grief. Though it seemed to hit her at random times it was still hitting her out of the blue. She was dealing with everything as she always did with her head held high even if she had tears in her eyes. She was really try
Max stop Deanna and the kids off at the university and then he went to the Academy. He knew that it wasn't going to take very long for him to go over everything. When he did get there he was ushered into their conference room and he passed out the folders to the three Deans of the different academies. He knew that that was going to be the number one thing that he had to do was make sure that he sold the program. He was good at selling himself as well. He had been doing it for years since he left the military. One of the things that he had to learn that in the civilian world it was his reputation that was going to get him very far. The fact that he had been in the military and woon did in battle wear something that people wanted to know about. So he had found a way to tell them without actually telling them anything.He had a normal way with words that was able to make the most complicated thing seem uncomplicated. That was also one of the reasons w
“what did she mean that it's part of the code?” Dana asked when they got into the car and Max had already started driving back to their house.“law enforcement spouses usually stick together. just like they say that there is a blue wall sometimes meaning that officers will stick with each other and not let the civilians know what really goes on. The same goes for their wives. Despite the fact that penny is also a part of it she is add detective wife. She knows all the rules in jazz who knows what it's like to be a new mom. And also have things surrounding you that you don't particularly want there. When they got married it was pretty rough. however I really didn't know them then I had only just heard what happened. It's not a pretty story but one day maybe I'll tell you. For right now just know that you always have her friend in her. So you can tell her anything that you need to plus she's a doctor so she can help out at times.” next said
Max had been surprised the entire night. Everybody had been on their best behavior when they actually saw Deanna standing next to him. And then of course the two kids. Henny was smiling like there was no tomorrow because she knew that he had finally gotten what he always wanted. Mac kept smiling too but it was for a different reason and Max knew that as well. This was definitely going to be one of those things that they were going to have to do frequently enough that Deanna needed to feel comfortable around them. He didn't actually believe that couples should have too many friends that were not other couples. He was kind of old fashioned in the way that he thought. She could have as many friends as she wanted that was perfectly fine but they would probably spend more time with other couples. It just seemed not to cause as many problems in any relationship. At least that was his view of it and like he knew he could learn something else.Mac was more
Max knew that he had to explain a few things on the way over to the other couples house. So he began to give them a rundown of everybody that was there including the kids. He also explained how him an Mac were friends to the point that it was like Max was one of their kids as well even though he was pretty much the same ages them. it was one of those interesting relationships that Max had filled his life with before he was able to deal with anything really personal.He also then began to explain slightly how they knew about her well before they had become a couple. “so just so you understand that they're going to probably be teasing me a lot and giving me a lot of crap. It's going to be because of you but that's OK.”“what do you mean it's because of me?” Deanna asked if she looked at him she was slightly surprised after being very amused with the way that he was explaining his friends to her. It wasn't like she had a
He meant what he said when he said he wanted to out and celebrate. It wasn't very often that he had the opportunity to spoil the woman that he loved and take his kids out at the same time period though he wasn't exactly short how that was going to work. So he decided that he was going to take them out for a nice meal when his phone began to ring. Halo down and saw that it was a person that he was actually just thinking about Mac Paulin who is another detective in one of the sister police precinct. They had worked a few cases together and they had also worked on a case that had basically changed Mac and his wife henni’s life for a little bit.Mac was one of maxs friends. He didn't really consider many people to be his actual friend but they had actually become rather good friends over the past few years. Henni where's the local medical examiner prefer one of the counties nearby. She also consulted with different police precincts as well.“What
Packing everybody up with a little bit easier and he knew that this would become a routine eventually. He knew that he was going to have them there for as long as he worked in the building. He grabbed his folders and put them in his briefcase and then gave Henry his bag. Henry just looked at him like he had completely lost his mind. “When it's time to go home I'm gonna give you this bag. And we're going to pack up the things that you want to take home with you. We can't come back to the university at night so we're going to make sure that we take everything that we want. Remember you have lots of toys at home as well so you can leave some things here. but I know that you wanna take bear and blankie with you.” Mac said as he looked at him and then he began to help Henry pick up the things that were the most important. “We're going to leave your bed in your sisters bed here so it's easier for mommy and me.”“DD is mommy?
Watching the man storm out of the room and go upstairs with something that Max was going to take huge amount of pride in doing. He was more than happy to sit back and wait for the repercussions to actually happen. None of that actually mattered to Max right now. The way that he had thought of it was it was going to be something that they were going to have to deal with anyway period now the fact that he possibly had another job waiting for him that was going to be better would be the absolute feather in his cap right now.that happened to be the moment that his phone rang right before Deanna could actually say something to him about what had just happened. “hello this is detective Anderson.” Max stated into the phone as he had an idea of what the number actually was. It wasn't the one that he had called before but it was a very similar number so he had to assume that it was a police Academy calling him back.“detective Ande
After about 10 minutes of trying to get around exactly what the man was saying Max had enough. He was absolutely just thoroughly enjoying the fact that the man was so flustered that Max kept coming back with something else. It was like none of the other professors actually never questioned him. Or the fact that he normally had a few students going into his office for a few hours every day period of course those particular students were young females who had no business going into the Dean of students for the department’s office period of course Max wasn't actually going to bring that up but he was alluding to it. The only female that he wanted in his office. Was the one who was sitting in the corner.he looked over to Indiana who was watching the whole thing trying not to laugh as she was continuing to fake read whatever she was reading. Max knew that the man was not gonna give up very easily. And of course then the veiled threats that his course was proba
