A/N: This is my first story, and I hope y'all like it. Constructive Criticism :) = Flames = :( But it's your review, so say what you want to, but I'm not a big fan of them. If it's a little OOC, I'm sorry, but I'm trying! ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride. I am nowhere near that brilliant!

Summary: When Max goes out for the night, Fang has to watch four-year-old Charlie! How will he deal with a child all by himself?

Ages: for the story:

Fang, Max, and Iggy: 25

Angel: 16

Nudge: 22

Gazzy: 18

Charlie: 4

Max's point of view

Fang thinks he knows everything. Always has, always will. Yeah, right. But I guess that's just the way he is. Actually, I know it's the way he is. That's what growing up with each other can do to you. You grow to really know each other and most things about them. And with that knowledge of him, it is my humble opinion that it's time someone teach him a lesson. And that someone will be me. On the bright side, he won't even know I'm doing it.

I'm going to use one of our routines against him, and it's a routine he's come to know and love. You see, every third Friday, Nudge, Angel and I go to a movie and to dinner and a movie. I guess after living together for so long, you grow to miss each other more than you think you will. So we have to catch up at some point. It just doesn't seem like it's been as long as it has. I mean, Angel and Gazzy share an apartment (that we help finance since they are so young), Iggy is married with an expecting wife, and Nudge is engaged. I don't especially support Gazzy and Angel's decision, but they live close and can make their own choices. Anyway, Fang and I have been married for six years now. We married early, knowing that we were meant to be together. Besides, if you know for sure, why wait? We have a four-year-old daughter, Charlotte, who we call Charlie. She is absolutely adorable, as most children are in their mother's eyes, but also a handful, as most children are to everybody's eyes.

Normally, I call Iggy to come stay with Fang and Charlotte. He is great with kids. Don't think I don't trust Fang with Charlie. I know that he can handle her antics. I just don't think it's going to be easy on him. I called Iggy earlier and told him to stay home tonight. When he asked what he should tell Fang, I told him to blame it on his wife; say she wasn't feeling well. Besides, she's pretty far along in her pregnancy, so it probably won't be a lie. Fang thinks Iggy just comes to hang out, which is partly it, but he's also a precaution.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Fang won't have any problems, and Charlie will be a perfect angel. The odds are against her being as sweet has she could potentially be, though. At four, she already has my stubborn attitude. Plus, she has a secret weapon. Fang may seem hard and tough, but is a big softie around her. He just can't seem to say no.

It's about six o'clock, meaning it's time for me to head out. I wait by the door, knowing that it won't be long before Fang and Charlie come to say good-bye.

"Mommy!" She yells, running up and jumping into my arms for a hug. I spin her around before setting her down, smiling as she giggles in delight.

"I'll miss you, and I love you." I whisper in her ear.

"Love you, too Mommy!"

I let a small gasp of surprise as Fang sneaks up behind me and kisses my head. "Love you," he whispered, almost silently.

"Love you, too. You have everything under control?"

"Of course. Don't worry, and have fun."

Fang can be so sweet sometimes; it almost makes me want to call Iggy and tell him it's okay to "hang out" tonight. Unfortunately for Fang, I said almost.

With one last "Bye!" I leave. Poor Fang will have a hell of a night!

Like it? Hate it? Did I do something wrong? Tell me! I'll try and improve it! I also take anonymous reveiws! I'll update this story within the next two weeks. When in the next to weeks depends on how the reveiws and other things work out.

P.S. These chapters in the story aren't going to be very long. Actually, the story is probably going to be pretty short! ;)
