Chapter 28

That Saturday afternoon the boys were with friends. Drew was working. Casey was at Max's house. When she got there Max had candles lit in the bedroom. They were making out in bed getting ready to have sex again. She looked at him.

"Max, I- Her phone rang. She looked at it. "It's Drew." "Hello?" She said answering it. "You're done already?" "Will you pick up a pizza on your way home?" "Pepperoni and extra cheese." "Thank you." "I love you too." "Bye." She hung up and looked at Max. "I have to go."

"No."

"I have to baby." "He finished early."

"Ok." He said disappointed.

"Aw, I'm sorry."

She got up and dressed. He put on a robe and walked her to the door.

"Text me later." He said.

"I will."

"I love you." He bent down and kissed her stomach. "Daddy loves you." He stood up and kissed Casey one more time. She left.

The following Wednesday night, Casey had just gotten to the arena and to her workstation. When she got there two-dozen roses were waiting for her. She opened the card. It read.

For you and our babies. I love you.

The card wasn't signed but Casey knew it was Max's handwriting.

After the show Max was in his room. Casey opened the door with Max's keycard. She was holding a big manilla envelope.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi." She sat down next to him. They kissed.

"What's that?"

"Without him knowing, I took Drew's toothbrush and had the DNA test to see if he was the father of the twins." "These are the results." "I want you to open them." "No matter what these results say, do you still want to marry me?"

"Absolutely."

"Ok." She handed him the envelope. He opened it and pulled out the papers.

"These say the chances of Drew being the father are 0.000%."

"What?" She said surprised. He showed her.

"I told you they're mine."

"I made this decision before I knew the results." "I'm breaking off my engagement with Drew." "I want to marry you." "I love you Max."

He smiled. "I love you too." They kissed.
