So.... many..... stories.... to .... update (gasps for breathe). I's soooooooo sorry I have been taking forever to update. I just keep on getting distracted by a different story than whatever one I need to be working on at the moment. Just a brief completely off topic thing is that my friend got back from Hawaii the yesterday and she got the me the most awesome key chain (I collect key chains!) That says aloha (pineapple) Hawaii then on the back it has my name and my name in Hawaiian. It's so awesome! Okay now I will start the story..... but not with out saying.... I don't own Maximum Ride!
Max POV- 2 months after the baby's birth
I cradled the tiny baby in my arms. It was awe inspiring that this beautiful baby named Elaina came from me. It was obvious she was my baby too. She had every single redeeming quality that I had; the full plump lips, the long eyes lashes, and the puppy- dog brown eyes. But you could see the Fang-ness in her too. She had his olive skin tone, quiet personality, and big ears. You may doubt me when I say that she had a quiet personality but I am completely serious, she has cried, like, 2 times in her whole 2 months of being here on earth. It was amazing.
"Max," Dr. Martinez called form he kitchen. I carefully got up from my cozy spot on the couch, trying not to jostle my little bundle of joy to awakeness.
"Yes," I said in a quiet tone that I would not've used before I had given birth to Elaina.
"It's time to feed her," Although Elaina was amazingly non-whiny, which was wonderful, it had some down sides too. Whenever she was hungry she would never do anyhting to get our attention which landed us with having to have a schedule to follow for when we would feed her. It was 4 times a day and 2 times at night. Was Fang this quiet when he was a baby?
I gently lifted Elaina into Dr. Martinez's arms so she could bottle-feed her. I had tried breast feeding and I was not going back. It had hurt like nothing else.
I watched as the little human suckled the bottle until it was inly half- full then she yawned and stared very alertly around at the room. There was a tiny flutter which I guessed was her ruffling her wings then she looked straight into my eyes.
It was so strange how adult-like those eyes were. Maybe it was because I had been seeing those eyes in the mirror all my life but they seemed to hold a wisdom that no child that was 2 months old could have. I had seen those eyes in my the worst of moment- like when I looked in the mirror and saw Eraser Max- and in the best of moments- like after my date with Sam, although he did betray me later. Those eyes held my whole life and a whole new one. It was amazing.
The doorbell rang and Elaina's gaze was pulled away from me and towards the door. It rang once more, impatiently, and I gently opened it and peered out. A girl around 14 years old stood outside and was looking curiously around her. She had blonde curls and was very tall for her age. Her eyes had an endearing blue color in them making her look like an over grown adult doll. She also looked very, very familiar.
She noticed that the door had been opened and fixed her beatiful eyes on me.
"Hey, Max, " she said tentalively like I was about to smack her. Then it registered with me. She was Angel. ( 8 years have passed since MRAE because she spent a lot of time in the School before they actually made her pregnant.)
"Oh my god," I tugged angel by her wrist throught the door and wrapped my arms around her, "I've missed you so much, sweetie."
Angel just stood there stiffly until I finally looked odwn at her, "What's wrong?" I asked her.
Her eyes began to well up, "Gazzy told me that you didn't love us anymore and that's why you left us. He said that if I didn't want to get yelled at I would never try to find you. He said youw ould hurt me," she looked just like a 6 year- old again.
I was shell- shocked, "I never did it for any reason like that; I did it to set you guys free!"
She looked at me skeptically.
"How?"
"It's a long story," I opened the door wider, "Why don't you sit down?"
