A/N: Ok, I have three stories started, none finished, and only one has an ending planed-ish. Who agrees with me that I love writing too much? And does anyone agree with me that I have a thing for having my story include/lead up to/based around Max and Fang having a baby? I mean, really? Think about it! Please review!

Max's POV:

I jolted awake. I was still undressed under a blanket in the room that Fang and I shared. Fang and I had been together for a few months now.

I looked around the room when I realized that Fang wasn't lying next to me anymore. I got up, put on my nightgown, and was about to go into the hallway to look for him when I saw a note on our nightstand. I picked up the note and read it, recognizing Fang's neat script.

"Max-

"I'm so sorry about doing this to you, but I don't know if I'm ready for this type of relationship just yet.

"I know you're going to hate me for this, but I swear I'll be back before the month is out, if not sooner. I just need some time alone to think.

"Always remember that I love you and that if I can't find you when I come back, I will never forget you. You'll always be the only one I love. Please forgive me for this.

"-Fang"

I read the letter over a few more time to make sure that I hadn't misunderstood.

Fang had said just two years ago, when we were 14, that he would never leave me again, and now he was gone, supposedly not ready for a relationship. I felt my fury flare up. He should have thought about whether he was ready before we'd had sex! Especially since we hadn't used any type of protection and because there was an off-chance that I was pregnant with his baby! I went back into my bed and cried. I cried over not having Fang with me, and over the realization that there was a slight chance that I would have a baby.

I cried for a long time, and when my eyes dried up and I couldn't cry anymore, even if I'd wanted to, I finally fell asleep.

Fang's POV:

I felt terrible. I thought that I wasn't ready for anything yet, so I left her. I knew that she would hate me. No, loath me at first, but hopefully she would forgive me and stay living where she was so I could find her again. I knew that I would never get over her.

A/N: Alright! Here's chapter 1 of this story! I'm not sure about a name for this story yet, though, so I'll update the title later. And in the first author's-note I said that I didn't have an ending for this one, but I just remembered that I do. Also, this takes place after the flock saves the world from Itex.
