Hello, person who has actually decided to read my story….. This is my 1st one, so I might not update very well, but I want everyone to tell me how to improve…. I want to be a writer, so criticism is always allowed. Any way, enjoy the 1st chapter of the story!
Max POV
I stared at my stomach. I have no idea how I could've kept this secret for so long… Angel had kept it for me too. But I had to tell them eventually, no matter how hard it would be. The phone suddenly rang, so I got up and answered it.
"hello?"
"Max, honey! How are you feeling?"
" Sigh* What is it Jeb?"
"I have a surprise for you and the flock!"
"Great! Wait, its your death certificate right?"
"*Sigh* I'm coming over now."
" Don't hurry!"
" Bye Max."
Just as I hung up the phone, I heard a giant explosion from up stairs, and the fire alarms started going off.
" Gazzy, Iggy! You guys are so dead!" I yelled as I rushed up the stairs.
Nudge POV
"Fang? How do I look in this one?"
"Fine Nudge, can we please go now?"
"No! I still have 4 more outfits!"
I snapped as I whipped around and walked back into the changing room. I was sooooo glad that Fang took me shopping to the mall. I was the biggest one I have ever seen! I felt bad that I couldn't take Angel, but Dylan took her to the water park instead. I almost felt bad for Gazzy and Iggy, they were stuck home with Max. I waltzed out of the changing room with my next outfit on, a sparkly pink shirt and new jeans. Fang was still sitting on the couch with his famous expressionless face. I sighed.
" Do you really want to go that bad? I questioned.
"Yes, I do." He grumbled.
"Fine, we can go as soon as I buy these two outfits."
We walked to the counter and I handed the cashier Max's credit card. He scanned it and put my outfits in a bag that said MACY'S in bold print on the side. Fang and I made our way to the house, but as we approached the door Dylan and Angel landed in front of us.
"Hi guys!" Dylan exclaimed, a grin on his face.
"Hi Dylan! Did you have fun? What did the slides look like? Why are you still wearing your swim suits? Did it take lo-"
I was interrupted by Jeb's car pulling up. I wonder why he's here?
Then I heard a loud explosion from upstairs,and Max screaming:
" Gazzy, Iggy! You guys are so dead!"
Dylan, Angel, Fang and I all burst into the house and ran upstairs only to find a lot of smoke and hear Max screaming at Gazzy and Iggy.
Max POV
I ran up the stairs, to find Gazzy and Iggy opening up windows and trying to wash the smoke out of their room.
"GAZZY, IGGY! WHAT DID YOU DO?" I screamed.
" We accidentally blew up a chair…." Gazzy said sheepishly.
" HOW ON EARTH DO YOU 'ACCIDENTALLY' BLOW UP A CHAIR?!"
Just then the rest of the flock ran into the room.
" Sorry Max…" Iggy muttered.
" SORRY DOES NOT FIX EVERYTHING! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU GUYS BLEW UP YOUR ROOM! ARE YOU TRYING TO BE FOUND BY THE SCHOOL? ARE YOU?"
"No.." Gazzy whispered.
"*Sigh* Can you please just clear out all of this smoke?" I said, calming down, and stomping out of the room with Angel trailing behind me.
"Max? Can we go for a fly and talk?" Angel asked.
" Sure sweetheart" I said. We walked out to the balcony and jumped off, snapping out our wings at the last moment. That's right, WINGS. We are 2% bird and 98% human.
"Max?" Angel asked once we were far enough from the house.
"Yes Honey?"
" You have to tell them."
" I know, but I don't know how they will react… I am ONLY 16."
Why am I discussing this with an eight year-old?
" Because you need to tell them."
Great! Why can't I block the mind reader out? Is that not a power?
"MAX! We are getting off topic!" she exclaimed.
"Fine! I will tell them when I get home!"
" That's what you said last time!"
"Yeah, well, I, uh… So What? I will tell them this time!"
"Fine, well lets head back."
" Oh yeah! Jeb said he was coming over with a surprise! We need to hurry!"
Fang POV
I watched Max and Angel leave, their wings flapping gracefully, and Max's beautiful hair flying, when the door bell rang. I walked down stairs, and opened the door. I saw Jeb and some girl standing there. I called the rest of the flock down and we all sat on the couches and listened to what Jeb had to say.
"Hi everyone! Wait, where's Max?" he asked.
" She went out flying, with Angel." I replied.
" Well she should be here… lets wait."
10 MINUTES LATER
Max was back and sitting next to me glaring at Jeb, who ignored her.
" Nice to have you back Max and Angel, did you have a good flight?"
"Yes, now why are you here and who is she?"
"This experiment number 8973214, otherwise known as Rain. She is 8 years old and I wanted her to be in your flock."
" Does she have any powers?" Gazzy asked, oddly he had been staring at her since he saw her. Angel had started staring at her when Jeb said she was 8.
"Yes, force fields, invisibility, her hair and wing color change with her moods, and incredible fighting skills." Jeb responded.
I had noticed her hair had changed to red from green when she entered and saw Gazzy. Hmmmm….. Interesting.
"Max I will need to use Dylan for a few weeks, Is that okay with you Dylan?"
"Sure"
"Well, she can stay, he can go. I can get to know her myself, thank you very much. So bye Jeb!" Max said shoving him and Dylan through the door and closing it.
She then turned to me, and said
"Fang, can I talk to you, PRIVATELY?"
"Sure"
" Hey Rain, get to know the others 1st, I wanna talk to Fang." She said,then took my hand and led me to her room.
"Fang, If I tell you this, will you promise not to freak out?"
"That depends…"
She gave me a Look and said:
"Well do you?"
"Sure. Whats up?"
She stared at the ground and mumbled something.
"What?"
" I'm pregnant."
"WHAT?!"
Oh my god! I never thought that she would bring up something like this! I could feel my jaw dropping open and staring at her.
"You heard me."
"Oh my (insert bad words here) god! Why didn't you tell me? How long has it been?"
"I was scared OKAY? I didn't know how you would react! It has been 5 months…. Sorry Fang."
" I knew you were getting fat! This is great! I always wanted to have a kid! Wait, does the flock know?"
"Only Angel."
"Come on! We have to tell them! They will be so happy!"
Max POV
My stomach clenched when Fang said to tell the flock. I wanted to, but I was scared. I know, the Great and Almighty Maximum ride was scared! Shut up!I was silent for a bit then I walked up to Fang and sat next to him and snuggled against him. He put his arm around me and gently kissed me.I kissed back and it started getting passionate, we were making out when Angel came to check on us.
"I'm gonna guess she told you." She stated.
Fang dropped out and said
"Yes, she did"
" Don't you think she should tell the flock?"
"Tell us what?" Iggy said walking in with Gazzy, Nudge, and Rain following him.
Oh crap.
"Lets go into the living room and talk." I said, getting up and walking in there.
When everyone was seated I stood up and faced the couch.
"I'm pregnant."
"WHAT?!" everyone but Fang exclaimed, levels of enthusiasm varying.
"OMG! We will have little Maxs and Fangs running around soon! When i-" Nudge asked, being interrupted by Iggy.
"What the (Bad word here) do you mean pregnant? Your 16! I thought you never wanted to breed like Jeb wants you to!"
"Who else knows?What about and Ella? What will they think? What will Jeb think?" Gazzy asked.
"I love babies! Are they Twins or Triplets or is it just one?" Angel questioned.
"I think its nice. We are mutant bird kids. But who is the father?" Asked Rain, looking just as innocent as Angel.
"I am." Fang said.
"ooooooohhhhh!" Gazzy teased
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" I screamed, finally losing my temper.
"Nudge, it is due in 4 months, Iggy, Shut the hell up,Gazzy you are the only ones who know,Angel,I have no clue,Rain Fang is the father, Now who wants to go to Jeb's with me to find out if how many babies I have growing inside me?"
20 MINUTES LATER
"Your pregnant! Max this is great! I am so proud! Good job Fang!" Jeb exclaimed as soon as we arrived. I gave him my dirtiest look. He STILL seemed unfazed.
"I wanna know how many babies are growing inside me. Can you help?"
"Yes! Come into my car! We will go now!"
I rolled my eyes and jestured for the flock to follow me.
Jeb took me to a hospital and put me in a had me put this weird sheet over me. Fang was the only one who could stay. The rest of the flock sat outside. Fang was holding my hand, as the blue line shifted across my stomach and I shifted my feet slightly.
"Okay I got the scans" Jeb said."Would you like to know the genders?"
"Tell me everything." I responded, getting up.
" Okay, You have Triplets, two boys and one girl."
"What? TRIPLETS? 3 Babies?"
"Yes, is that a problem?"
"No…"
"Max I am so proud! I have 3 kids!"
I shot him a glare, and he just gave me a rare Fang-smile. I gave in and smiled back. I walked out, and the flock stood up, staring at us expectantly.
" They are triplets, two boys and a girl."
"No wonder she's fat" Iggy muttered.
Gazzy, Nudge, Rain, and Angel laughed. I gave them the Look and they shut up immediately. I glanced at Fang, who was expressionless as usual.
We flew home. I enjoyed the wind rushing through my hair, enjoying every moment. As soon as I got home, I noticed that Gazzy and Angel were chatting with Rain in the back, Gazzy was staring at her with love in his eyes and Angel was treating her like a best friend. Gazzy's got a girlfriend! I smiled at that thought.
The next morning I woke up and went to Rain's bed, which was in my room.I shook her and said "wake up!"
She grumbled
"Good morning Max…" then got up and stretched.I then walked into Fang and Dylan's room and yelled:
"WAKE UP!"
And shook the covers off of Fang.
"Maaaax! Let me sleeeep!" Fang whined.
"Rise and Shine!" I called, walking to Nudge and Angel's room. I turned on the lights and called
"Wake up!"
I moved to Iggy and Gazzy's room and did the same thing.
2 HOURS LATER
I am laying on the couch fighting off my cravings for chocolate when the phone rings. Just as I reach it the balcony glass breaks, revealing a giant group of Erasers, leaded by Ari, my brother.
"Hi Maxy!" he snarled then told his group to attack.
I was outnumbered, by a few tens, but I managed.I punched one Eraser, kicked another, dodged 4 punches. I beat about 15 when one got me, punching me in my stomach, which was already swollen. I screamed then the flock rushed down stairs. Fang raced toward me, but I was rolling around in pain while erasers punched and scratched me. I saw Fang look at me then at the surrounding erasers, with fire in his eyes. I was getting up to defend myself, when I stumbled, fell and blacked out.
Where am I?
I looked around at my surroundings. I was laying in a tree.
"Fang? Iggy? Angel?" I called out weakly. I looked down at myself and saw two bandages on my arm and ankle.
"Max! Thank god your safe! I was so worried! We took you to get a scan and the babies are ok. How are you? Do you feel sick? Can I-" Nudge said, interrupted by Fang.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like crap. Where are we?
"Malaysia, in a town called Miri."
"Where is everyone else?"
"Getting melons to eat."
"I'm getting up."
I tried to sit up but stumbled into Fang, my giant stomach breaking off my balance. Fang smirked at me, and I just shot him a glare.
"How long was I out?"
"…"
" .Was. .Fang.?"
"1month"
"WHAT?!"
"1month"
"Oh my god, I'm expecting in 2 months! This is insane! Look at what you did to me Fang!"
Fang just smirked, then leaned down and kissed me.
"You know I'm still here, right?" Nudge said.
I blushed and looked embarrassed. Nudge laughed, and walked off.
Fang resumed kissing me.
That night we all slept in the tree, I slept next to Fang laying next to me. I woke up 4 hours later, craving chocolate. I jumped off the tree and flew around for a bit, until I felt kicking in my stomach.
Oh my (bad word here) god, what is happening? Why Max? Why?
I panicked and fell a few hundred feet until I caught myself, and landed. Then my everything started aching and curled my self into a ball and moaned, hating the pain. I clutched my stomach and let out another moan.
Am I going into labor? In the middle of the night?
No, Max. You are experiencing stretch pains.
Why hello, Voice. Such perfect timing.
Max, listen. You need to get back to the flock NOW.
Why?
Because there are too many animals around here.
Fine.
I got up and flew back to the tree, all the aches gone. When I landed, I was greeted by a screaming Fang.
"MAX! WHERE WERE YOU? YOU SCARED ME TO DEATH! I THOUGHT THE ERASERS TOOK YOU!"
"Chill, Fang. I'm fine."
"MAX!" Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, and Rain shouted running up and hugging me.
"Max, something is kicking in your tummy." Rain said, hair and wings turning blue. Fang walked up and smiled when he felt one of my babies kicking.
"Wow" he said eyes widening and he was smiling.
Iggy walked up and said:
"Am I missing something?" I blushed and Rain's hair turned red.
Max, Do you know when stretching pains occur?
No Voice. And I don't care.
Max, they occur when you are 1 to 2 weeks from giving birth.
Oh really?
Voice?
"Max?" Fang asked.
"The Voice."
"Oh"
"Max? Are you really going to give birth in 1 or 2 weeks?" Asked Angel.
"ANGEL!" I yelled!
"Is that true max?" Fang asked.
"Yes…. The voice told me."
"Wow…" Iggy said.
"Ugh! Angel really?" I said. Everyone, including me laughed.
10 DAYS LATER
My stomach hurt so much, it was cramping, really bad. I moaned and fell out of the caught me and said:
"Max? Max?! MAX?! What is happening? Angel?"
"…"
"ANGEL!"
"She's giving birth"
"What?!"
I moaned again.
"Everyone on the ground! Now!" Fang shouted
"Fang…..It hurts….so much…"
"Max…."
" Iggy, Gazzy back to the tree house. Rain, Angel, and Nudge, help me."
"But –" Fang silenced Iggy with a look. He and Gazzy took off.
It hurt so much, I couldn't bear it any more. I wanted to give up, but I couldn't.
"Angel, go somewhere and get a pair of scissors and a few blankets, and hurry."
"Fang?" I asked, my voice wavering.
"Yes?"
"I may …..not….not make…..it, it …..hurts…So much….I…Love…you…"
"NO! DON'T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT! YOU'LL BE FINE!"
I smiled and touched his face.
12 HOURS LATER
I held my 2 little boys, who now are wrapped in blankets. Fang was holding my little girl. We haven't named them yet. I flew, tears coming out of my eyes with my boys in my arms, Fang was crying to. When we landed in the tree house Iggy and Gazzy stood up.
"We haven't named them yet, any ideas?"
"Storm" said Iggy.
"Gasman Junior" Guess who? Gazzy.
" Night" said Rain.
"Venice" said Angel.
"Martin!" Nudge squealed.
"Fire" Fang suggested.
" How about this one is Storm, this one is Night, and the other one is Fire?"
"Perfect!" exclaimed Nudge
"Fine…" Gasman mumbled.
"Ok, I guess…" sad Iggy.
"Yes" said Rain.
"Sure" Was all fang said. I should probably describe my kids now. Fire is the oldest, with orange eyes, bright red hair, and yellow wings. Storm is in the middle, he is the exact replica of me, blond and brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and brown wings with white feathers. Night is the youngest, the only girl, and the only one who hasn't cried yet. She is the exact replica of Fang. Black hair, black wings, black eyes, pale skin.
"Their beautiful! OMG! Can I play with them? Who will teach them how to fly? Can I? When will you tell Jeb and D. and Ella?"
Nudge was panting after she said all that. I looked around and realized that everyone was crying, even Fang.
"Come on guys, its o-"
"Sorry to spoil the party Maxy, but I have to take you and the babies to Jeb now."
Ari.
