Chapter 1
It has been 10 years since the Flock has been seen together in one place. They all live separate lives now, mostly. The last time they were together was at Max and Dylan's wedding. After the horrible tragedy in Paris, Max wanted to settle down. Dylan proposed to her a year after everyone started to "settle down". Max agreed on one condition, that it won't be a big wedding. Dylan was so happy to marry Max that he arranged the wedding, (not bad for a guy). Only a few months later they were married. Max sent out invitations to their wedding to Fang's so-called Flock; via Fang's Blog, but everyone but Fang comes.
Now Fang, Iggy, Gazzy, and Max decide it's a good time to catch up. Max contacts Total and Akila, and Nudge. Fang invites all of his "Flock". Everyone is curious to see how everyone has changed. Fang is nervous to see Max for the first time in 12 years. How much has she changed? Will she look the same? Will she remember her feelings for him? Will Dylan still be with her?
Everyone agreed to meet at Dr. Valencia Martinez's house. Iggy was the first one there. Ella and him went to college together and were now thinking of having a wedding of their own. Then Gazzy and Nudge arrived. Nudge has been attending a FashionAcademy; Gazzy has been keeping her company. Total and Akila have been living with Dr. Martinez. Fang's Flock all arrive together. Max and Dylan were the last two arrive. But they didn't fly, and they weren't alone.
Max arrived in an old van, Dylan was driving. Max glanced in the back of the car and spoke to someone sitting in the back seat. The windows were tinted, so the Flock couldn't tell who she was talking to. By the time Dylan had parked the car, everyone was curious.
"Max and Dylan have arrived!" Nudge jumped up and down, while clapping her hands. She has grown a lot, even thought she is an adult she still has the mind of the young girl she used to be. Her hair has been straitened and she has grown a full head taller. Her skin still had that milk chocolate tint to it.
"'Bout time they arrived. All the food would have been gone if they arrived any later." Gazzy was leaning on the side of the house looking bored, but a suspicious gleam was in his eyes. His looks have defiantly gone from young boy to almost adult.
"MAX! MAX! You're finally here!" Ella came barreling out of the house, with Iggy right on her heels. Ella has grown little, she still is short and her hair is the same way it used to be. The only difference is that she wears makeup. Iggy has gotten taller (seems it wasn't impossible) and his hair needed a good cutting.
Total and Akila were getting older so they were slower than the others. Total has gotten some gray on his belly and nose. And his paws were starting to show some gray too. Akila, who is mostly white haired, isn't showing any gray, but her eyes are starting to get cloudy. Fang and his Flock stay mostly off to the side, not saying much.
Dylan helps Max out of the van, and when she is completely out, everyone sees the giant belly that is poking out from underneath her shirt. A wave of silence passes over everyone. Dylan hurries to the back seat and helps something out of a car seat. Two young kids spring out of the car. Both were so full of energy and life, it seemed unnatural.
"Hi. How is everyone?" After Dylan unloaded the bags, he did a quick sweep of his eyes, a habit he picked up from Max. "I see we are the last ones to arrive. Sorry we are a little late. Trixy and Calen wouldn't get in the car." Everyone was still speechless at Max's huge tummy and the two kids, who unmistakably looked like Max.
Ella was the first to break the silence when the boy walked over to her to show her two dandelions he found. "Thank you. They are lovely. What's your name?"
"My name is Calen. Mom told us we are meeting family today. Are you family?"
"I'm your Aunt Ella. It's a pleasure to meet you Calen."
"The pleasure is all mine." Ella looked bewildered at the boy's formality. He look like he was only 3 or 4, but he talked as if he were older.
"Are you going to introduce me, brother? Or am I the one who gets forgotten?" A small girl stood behind him, her hands on her hips. She had the expression that a drama queen gets when she doesn't get what she wants. "Well?"
"I'm sorry. This is my younger sister Trixy. Trixy this is Aunt Ella, Mom's sister." Calen spoke with an exasperated sigh.
"Oh, I know who she is. I just needed you to introduce us formally. Excuse me," she pushed past her brother to stand in front of me. "My name is Trixy, and as my brother over there stated, I am the youngest of us two. By only 10 months and 27 days though!"
"It's nice to meet you Trixy." Ella was surprised at how Trixy could speak in such a tone and be only a few years old.
"Trixy! Apologize to your brother this instant. You know better than to talk that way." Max scolded the little girl.
"Yes Mommy. I'm sorry Calen for being so rude to you. Forgive me?"
"Of course I forgive you; we are brother and sister after all." The whole exchange seemed like something out of a movie. Kids don't normally act this way.
"Well we better get inside. These bags are getting heavy." Dylan made his way toward the house. "Are you coming, Hon?" Hon? No one has heard Max be called Hon, not even by Fang when they were dating.
"I don't want to go inside!" Yelled Calen. "It's so nice out here!" And with that last remark, Calen jumped at least 10 feet in the air and unfurled a set of golden wings.
Trixy followed in suit shortly after. The circled each other and dived and soared above them. Trixy showed off by doing a set of spins in mid-air and then did a cart-wheel. Calen shot off like a rocket and headed north-east. He then circled around and flew in a direct line heading for Trixy. At the last moment he dodged out-of-the-way, missing Trixy by inches.
"Dylan, can you get them?" Max looked worried as she eyed the two kids up in the sky. Dylan unfurled his wings and shot off into the sky. While Dylan tried to round-up the two trouble makers, Max grabbed the nearest two bags and made her way toward the house. Everyone reacted instantly.
Nudge offered to take the bag in Max's right hand, while Gazzy took the one in her left hand. Star grabbed two of the in one hand, and another in her other hand. Ella and Iggy held the door for everyone. Once Nudge put down the bag she was carrying she ran out the door to help Dylan. Max started to move the bags toward her room, when the rest of Fang's flock grabbed the bags and hauled them off toward her room. She thanked everyone for helping.
Nudge and Dylan were having difficulties trying to round-up the kids so everyone with wings went out to help. Max went to get a glass of water, when she noticed a dark figure standing by the fridge.
"Hi Fang," she spoke calmly and coolly. She couldn't help but notice his hand gripping the fridge door so tight that his knuckles had turned white.
"Max…" was all he said in reply. She knew something was bothering him. And she thought she knew what.
Will Max ask what's wrong? Or will she hold back? Will the Flock be okay with the new adjustment of having Max being a mother? Find out in the next chapter.
