"I'm so glad you're finally here, I've been waiting all day !"Īmerica laughed at the dramatic, desperate nature of May's proclamation.

Maxon grinned sheepishly, rubbed a hand across the back of his neck, and said, "Let's get inside."Īmerica barely got the 'he-' in 'hello' out of her mouth before her arms were full of May Singer. To his credit, he did wrap America in a tight hug before taking off at a jog around the back of the house towards the soccer goal that had been his eighth birthday gift from Maxon and America, and was still his pride and joy.Īmerica gave Maxon a look that told him her opinion on exactly how good of a father he was going to be. "I should say 'hello' to everybody first." Maxon said to Gerad. "We'll let you shoot-out your next round against Astra." "I don't know, I agreed to play this shoot-out with a much shorter kid. But I've grown two inches since Christmas!" he said, eager to please. Gerad grinned and hugged the soccer ball to his chest. "You've grown about ten inches since the Egg Roll." "Wow, Gerad," Maxon shook his head as if dismayed. And the two could not have been more adorable together if they'd tried. She knew how much it meant to Maxon to have a kid in this world who honestly, purely, from the depths of his heart considered Maxon to be a big brother. So Maxon had become the big brother Gerad idolized, and America absolutely loved that. He was way too young to remember a time before Kota's desertion, and he was close with James, but James had to work a lot and seemed more like a substitute father-figure, having taken on so many family responsibilities after Shalom Singer's death. Gerad couldn't really remember a time before Maxon and America were married. To Gerad, Maxon was not the King or a brother-in-law. That's when Maxon popped his head out of the car and Gerad's whole face lit up, "Maxon! Are you ready to play?" America smiled at her brother affectionately. "Maxon!" Gerad called out, the moment the chauffeur opened the car door for Maxon and America.Īmerica grinned, the first one out of the car. Sure enough, he had a soccer ball under his arm. Gerad was the first one out the front door when their car, and an identical unmarked black car for their security detail, pulled to a stop in the long driveway. Would another fifteen minutes have killed you?" "I should have given your family a house that was farther away."Īmerica nodded as he turned to her and helped arrange her hair and blouse so that she looked less tousled. "Damn it." Maxon sighed, straightening himself up and allowing America to use her thumb to get her lipstick off of his lips. "Your lips…" he got a little carried away on the lips, and the next thing either of them were fully aware of, the car was slowing down and turning onto the private road leading to the Singer house.

"Can you imagine? Your embarrassing, awful, wheezing laugh on a little six-month-old baby? Every time we play peek-a-boo, it just starts baby-snorting?" America laughed at the thought. "I hope our baby has your laugh." America giggled. "Our little shipwreck, castaway baby?" Maxon suggested, hand flying to its new favorite perch, her stomach. "You're going to kick the ball around with Gerad and I'm going to catch up with my sisters, and then we're going to announce-" "We're 'Max' and 'Mer' today, aren't we?" America smiled, vocalizing just part of her thoughts. This 'Maxon' was the closest thing to normal citizen 'Max' that America ever saw in real life. 'King Maxon' was nowhere in sight, and neither was 'Prince Maxon'.
Maxon was a different person on the rare occasions he got to visit the Singer household. I can't wait." Maxon said, fidgeting a little in his excitement. "I promised Gerad a shootout match of soccer when I saw him at the Egg Roll, and it's perfect weather today. "I'm really glad we're going to see them." Maxon said bracingly. I think it's getting to the point where your mother would have your head." That left America's family as just about the last ones in the world to be brought in on the secret. She promised to be of use in any way that she possibly could be. Maxon had called Adele earlier that week and broken the baby and amendment news to her. "I can't really get away with not telling them about the baby for much longer, can I?" "I wouldn't have missed it for the world." Maxon grinned, leaning over and kissing her. They were curled up in the back seat of an unmarked black car driving quickly through the streets of Angeles. "I'm really glad you were able to come today, Maxon." America said, squeezing his hand.
