I left the flock. Don't be mad at me, I had plenty of reason. I was pregnant, and didn't want my baby to be on the run its entire life, so I told Angel I was leaving and left. Angel doesn't know why I left, because I blocked my mind from her. It was super hard to leave them, and I think that Angel knew that.

You're probably telling me that I should have stayed, or told Fang at least why I was leaving. But then it would be harder for them to save the world, which they have done. So my decision worked out okay.

I haven't heard from any of them since I left, but I followed Fang's blog until he stopped writing it. See? I can still look after them from afar.

My baby was a girl. I named her Aspen. She has Fang's wings, hair color, and silent attitude. The only thing that she has in common with me is my eyes, but I don't mind one bit. It was hard raising her, but I had the MaxRide card so we were never short on money. I mean, I had her when I was seventeen. She's 8 now, and loves to fly with me. She doesn't have any powers yet, and I don't think she minds.

"Mommy, let's go!"

"I'm coming."

We left for our favorite restaurant. It was a cheap burger joint that was always semi-quiet with plenty of escape routes. We took off and landed not much time later in the back lot.

When we got inside Mike, the old fry cook waved in greating. Aspen waved back and we sat at the counter so we could talk to him.

"Anything exciting happen lately Aspen?" Mike asked, like he did everytime we came to eat here.

"No Mike."

"Usual you two?"

"Yes." I said.

We had almost finished our burgers when I saw them. They were standing in the parking lot, and they were looking right at me. Angel had grown so much, and Nudge's hair was lying flat. Gazzy was looking very mature standing next to a grown Iggy. I turned away before I got a good look at Him.

I turned back to Aspen and whispered in her ear,"Block your mind. We're leaving."

Aspen looked at me and saw that I was serious. She followed me out the back way. We were getting ready to take off when Angel stepped out of the shadows.

"Hi Max. We haven't seen you in awhile." She said angellicly.

The rest of the flock cam around the corner and I grabbed Aspen's hand. I gave it a reasurring squeeze. Then I whispered in her ear,"Fly home."

She looked scared, but did as I said.

"How did you guys find me?" I asked.

"Max, we wanted to find you so we looked for you."

"Do you guys want to stay the night at my place? There's some room." I asked not wanting to seem like I didn't want to talk to them, which I didn't.

"Sure, but who was the girl?"

"Don't talk to her. And Angel, don't read her mind." I said defensively.

"Okay. Lead the way back."

I took off and they followed. I landed in the front yard. Aspen opened the door.

"Mommy, are they staying here?"

"Yes. You're going to stay with me in my room tonight. That way I can tell you who they are."

When they landed I gave Nudge and Angel Aspen's room and made Iggy, Gazzy, and Him the living room. I couldn't even look Him in the eye.

Then I went to my room. Aspen was waiting for me, so I told her who the Flock was. She didn't say anything, but she already knew some of the story. I didn't tell her that her dad was in the living room though. She thought her dad was famous, which is true, just not the way she thinks he is.

Just as I was going to sleep I heard Angel in my head," Max, its good to see you again. I can't wait to catch you up to what we've been up to!"

"Goodnight Angel." I thought, the promptly went to sleep with my little daughter in my arms.
