It had been extremely weird for him that his mother with so open with him and honest. He had never actually experienced that with his family before. He had always thought that Michael was the one that was completely loved, and he was just there. It wasn't until he actually knew all the factors that had taken place that he could actually really truly begin to forgive his parents for the way that he was brought up. He had already made huge leaps and bounds when it came to everything and forgiving his parents when he actually closed the case for Samantha. He knew that he was going to have issues moving forward but now knowing all the reasons why they had acted the way that they had with something that he had never expected to actually know.
Things even in his own mind were beginning to change, and he was grateful

After surprising everybody in the room in Henry reaching for the older man and wanting to sit down on the bed with him Deanna in him, we're just taking everything in. Max had really thought that this was going to be like introducing his son to his parents. The funny thing was is that his parents already thought that he had a wife and children that they had never known about, and he at the same time found out as far as he was concerned, he already had that. Deanna was going to be the one that he managed to win over in the one that he wanted to save his life with. And then Henry with the additions that they both needed together. Whether they just had one child or multiple, it really didn't matter to him. As long as Dana was by his side.“I've never actually seen him take to anybody like that before,” Deanna stated as she looked up at Max is face.“I think they might actually need each other.” he smiled as he looked at t

When they got home, Max knew that they had a few more things that they had to do, including getting ready for tomorrow when Deanna went to Winter Haven to visit her cousin. She was going to write out the questions that she was going to ask Samrah and then have him go over them just so he could add some if he needed to. But the minute they started to walk through the door, her phone began to ring. She walked off in another direction, and he had an idea there was somebody in her family, and she really didn't want him to overhear what was going to be said. She had already threaten them, and he was extremely proud of her for doing so.Instead, Max looked at Henry and knew that this was going to be a new adventure for the two of them. And knew that the boy was probably starving even though he'd been peppered with snacks for the past few hours. He went over and got one of the ready-made meals and started to open it and then warm it up a little bit in the

The next morning everything was set, and though they had a fight talking about Winter Haven, and she wasn't exactly speaking to him at the moment, Max knew that this was going to be one of those moments that changed everything in the relationship. He was trying to let go of the way that he was thinking about her being so soft and kind and loving that she couldn't actually handle being in a place like that. Deep down, Max knew that she could handle being in a place like that, but it wasn't something that he was ready to admit.Something in him basically wanted to be the dominant one in the relationship even though he knew that they were on equal footing. He wanted to be the man, and he wanted to be the person who had to do the dangerous things. He didn't want her even remotely put in any type of danger, and he knew that Winterhaven was nothing but a huge danger.Seeing the place for the first time is awe-inducing. At least when you look at it from the outs

When they got back to the house, Dana really didn't wanna talk. Whatever she had seen really add spooked her in a way. There were a lot of things that he could see that were going on in her mind, and Max knew that he had to allow her to have the time to process everything. She really hadn't even wanted to play with Henry, so it was time for Henry to take a nap, and Max put him down. She had disappeared somewhere in the house, and he was going over files in the office.There were quite a few things that he needed to get done because he had basically taken the weekend off, knowing that this was going to be a huge weekend for them.

Max is deep into the piece of paper that he was rewriting for the class when he heard his phone beep next to him varian. He looked down at the phone and saw the notification that he had a text message. It wasn't unusual for him to get messages throughout the day either from consulting counties that he was working with or from one of the commanding officers at the Police Department that he worked for. Usually just asking for some kind of update.this text message was slightly different. This one was asking about Deanna.Your girlfriend's last name is Watson, right? and it had come from from the Lieutenant who had been there the day before to help move everything into the house. Max knew in that one instant something bad was going to be at their front door rather quickly. He was trying to brace himself mentally even right then and there before he answered.Whatever this was, it wasn't going to be good, and he knew that Deanna was not in

Max was instantly alert when she asked if she could tell her brother. He knew that there was no way that she would voluntarily want to talk to that man. She knew something that no one else did. And it was plain to see. There were quite a few things that were running through his head as well. Even though he wasn't quite sure of the entire situation, Dana seemed to have a good handle on it.When the captain actually asked if she wanted to be the one to tell the rest of her family, she said no, she just wanted to tell that one brother. Max knew that she suspected something right off the bat. And it was going to be something huge for her and the family. It also had to do with something that she had learned earlier that day that she hadn't actually got damn about.When the captain agreed because it was a reasonable request and the two left after giving their condolences to Deanna, Max just waited for her too actually come clean about what was goi

“I'll go wake up Henry and get him ready,” Max said as he looked at her.“why wake up Henry?” Deanna asked quickly as she looked at him, slightly confused even though he had just made a huge confession; she didn't really think that she was putting herself in danger at the moment.“because whether you think I'm being overbearing or not, there's no way in hell I'm letting you near that psycho by yourself where I can't see you. You can glare at me all you want. It just won't happen.” Max said as he looked down into her face.“I know Max,” she replied, and she began to smiles very softly. He couldn't actually believe that she was standing right in front of him, let alone that she was actually starting to agree with him.“you aren't mad?” he asked as he put his hands around her face and just cupped her cheeks gently.“it's a little weird to have somebody who cares about my w

Max turned and watched as the five of them walked up to the house. As soon as he really started to pay attention to how the the officers were acting to the situation, he knew things were taking a turn, and it was going South very quickly. He had to trust that Deanna was capable of understanding that she was possibly putting herself in danger. Didn't wanna hold his breath, so if he had to react, he could. The only thing that he hoped that it was that he didn't have to interject himself at all. Instead, he decided to call dispatch and tell them that they probably needed more help out here.When Deanna actually hit the door and pushed her way inside, and then she grabbed something beyond the door that he could see, he saw that it was a grown woman. The woman was being rushed to one of the squad cars nodding the entire way. Something was going on in that house, and he didn't know what it was at all. However, Deanna was right there, and she was in the f

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.

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.

“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.

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

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.

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
