Chapter 1

I do not own Maximum Ride.

You need to read A Little Different by me, before this, or you will be really confused!

"ELLA!" I yelled and shot down to her. I brought in my wings and hugged her!

"You have kids!" She yelled at me.

"I do, their names are-" I was cut off by the twins.

"I'm Nick!" he smiled.

"And I'm Tally." she smiled.

"And we don't like you yelling at our mommy. But we love your hair!" they said simultaneously. They were sneaky seven year olds. But Ella loved flattery.

Boy, was she soaking it up! "Aww, you two are so sweet! I won't yell at your Mommy! Aww. You two are A-DORABLE!" The flock had landed behind me and were rolling their eyes.

I saw Fang come up to me. "Don't you think you should get Dr. Martinez to check out Tally." he said gruffly and went inside. I was momentarily blank. Fang just spoke. And according to everyone else they were shocked too. Before I wouldn't have been surprised. Fang and I always talked. But now, he hadn't spoken to me or even come five feet near me unless you count when we were fighting. But even then there was no back to back fighting. Just ugh. But I probably should have Mom check out Tally.

"Ella, is Mom inside?"

"Yeah!" Those little kids of mine had already infiltrated Ella. She was carrying Nick and holding Tally's hand, walking inside. I followed, as did the Flock.

"Mom!" I called. "Do you think you could look over Tally?"

"Sure, I'll get my things, put her on the kitchen counter."

I took Tally away from Ella and put her on the kitchen counter. Yet privacy was not an option, when everyone just crowded into the kitchen. I think it was because Tally was a mystery. That was the only thing I could think of why they would all be wanting to see her.

"Hello Tally, I'm your grandmother. Now can I look you over." Tally smiled and nodded. My mom moved every part of her body, Tally flinched when Mom moved her left wrist. Broken. That would have to be casted at Mom's clinic. She listened to Tally's heart and checked her pulse.

"Max, I can't see anything through Tally's sunglasses." Everyone perked up.

"That's the point!" Tally said.

"Max, I have to check to see if her pupils are alright and there's no concussion or brain bleeds." Damn, she was good. Always thrash the bad stuff into the mother's mind and they'll do anything.

"Okay, hold on. Tally, I need you to face the window okay."

"But Mom, she can't look into them." Tally clenched her little fists. She hated having to take off her sunglasses because she was scared even if she wouldn't admit it, my mommy instincts were telling me.

"I know Tally, so you have to stay calm." Tally shook her head. "Tally, you have to so we can make sure you're okay."

Tally thought about it. "Fine." she said grudgingly. She turned around to where she was facing the window.

"Why does she have to face the window?" Angel asked.

"Because it's better then her facing the wall." I answered. "Mom, be really careful and don't get on her nerves." I positioned my mom in front of Tally and I gently took off her sunglasses. Her eyes were clinched shut. "Tally you have to open up your eyes." She opened them and my mom looked at them without a light.

But then she put the mini flashlight into her eyes and I saw Tally's fists clinch. I pushed Mom out of the way before the burst of laser came out of Tally's eyes.

AN: Okay, so possibly not the best chapter. But I'm tired, even if it's like 10:30am. So yeah. Review!

Later AN: Redoing chapters is harder than I thought... BUt I just realized I think I did it the hard way!
