Fang POV

We had gone up to the room and curled up in each other's arms; I was on cloud nine, I don't think anything could have made that moment better. I was finally back where I belong, with my family and Max. For the past four years I had been doing everything I my power to stop any and all of Itex's plans and to my credit I had done an almost perfect job. For the past few months I there hasn't been any attacks or new plans that I know of; that fact scared me more than I would like to admit. I had a feeling that they were working on something big and I had finally decided that I didn't need to face the world on my own.

Beside me smiled as I watched Max sleep somewhat peacefully, although occasionally she would twitch and mumble incoherently; her face showing pain. I knew she was having a nightmare and I was 90% sure I had everything to do with it. That fact made me angry that it had taken four years for me to come back; four years for me to see that I didn't have to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. I had caused her pain and that was NOT ok.

My musing was interrupted when Max started to stir. She rubbed her eyes tiredly as yawned as her eyes met mine.

"How long was I asleep?" she asked softly

"Couple of hours" I answered

"You still tired?" I asked

"No, I'm good" she said as she attempted to stifle another yawn

"Sure" I muttered out, knowing full well that she needed way more sleep than she was getting

"You hungry?" I asked her in the hope that she would say yes

"No, I'm ok but if you want something go ahead"

"Please Max, you are tiny, you need to eat something" I pleaded

"I'm not hungry, but tell you what how bout we wait for the others to get home then Iggy can make us all something and we can have a family dinner?" she said happily

"I miss family dinners" she said softly, almost to herself

"Do you not have the anymore?" I asked curiously

"No, we all kinda do our own thing" she explained sadly

"Sometimes me or Iggy will do something with the kids to give the other a break"

"Oh" was all I could manage

"Yeah" she muttered, "like I said I miss being a family"

"When will the others be back?" I asked

"Soon, I think"

"How is everyone?" I asked, not sure if I wanted to know the answer

"Umm, well Iggy is himself I guess, but I know he misses having you to talk and hang out with" she explained

"He had helped me so much though, I honestly don't think I would have made it without him"

I again felt the impact that my leaving had done and found myself wondering if I had done more harm than good. I also made a mental note to thank Iggy when I saw him.

"Nudge is... quiet for lack of a better word I guess"

"QUIET!" I exclaimed, amazed

"Yeah, she missed you and the way things used to be; she misses us being a family too"

"Well I am hoping to fix that" I assured

"I truly hope that happens" replied Max

"What about Gazzy and Angel?" I asked

"Gazzy is different too; he is defiantly more mature"

"Mature?" I asked somewhat confused

"He kinda had to take over some of your roles, at least the ones that Iggy can't do" she explained

"He has grown so much, but sometimes I wish he would go back to his old self even just for a day"

"And Angel?" I prompted

"Angel is in some ways more of a kid than she used to be"

"What do you mean?" I asked

"She had a very strong desire to be normal; she wants us to be a normal family therefore she decided that she didn't want her gifts"

"You mean she doesn't read minds and all that anymore?" I asked dumbfounded

"Not really" confirmed Max

"It's kind of nice to have my thoughts just o myself, but again there are the days where I just want us to be the old flock"

"I know what you mean" I said remembering the many times over the past four years that very though crossed my mind.

She simply gave me a small smile

"So what are we having for this family dinner?" I asked her

"I don't know, what do you want?" she asked

"We can go pick up the stuff"

"How about something with pasta?" I offered

"Mmm, how about spaghetti, we haven't had that in forever"

"With meatballs and garlic bread" I added

"That sounds amazing!" declared Max

With our decisions made we headed the grocery store to pick up everything we needed. It was like old times; we laughed and reminisced, but also discussed what we had been p the in the past four years. Being with Max put the first real smile on my face since I had left. I was happy.

Max POV

I was in heaven; completely content with life. At this point I didn't want anything to change, I was happy to just remain in my own little world with Fang. I didn't want to have to think about what would happen now or the reason that Fang had chosen now to return. I just wanted to pretend that I was normal for one day.

Today had been perfect. I had woken up in Fangs strong arms and immediately decided that it should be a daily occurrence. I would never admit it, but I loved the fact that Fang was worried about me; I guess I hadn't realized how little I had been eating. We spent the whole morning together just talking; it was almost like Fang had never been gone.

We had decided that a family diner would be a good way to celebrate Fang's homecoming. I know how much the flock missed being a family and I was hoping this might cheer them up. I had missed our dysfunctional family more than anyone will ever know. On the plus side things might just be looking up.

We had gone to the store to get the stuff to make spaghetti. It felt so natural, to just be with Fang, laughing and goofing around. We talked about everything from our childhood to what we had been doing over the past four years; we didn't get into anything too deep though. We stayed on light topics and it remained unsaid but still known by both of us that eventually we would have to have a serious talk.

We decided that despite out lack of cooking talent that we would attempt to cook. In all honesty it was just plain funny. Fang was making the sauce (well heating up the sauce) and somehow managed to get it on everything including me and him. I was in charge of noodles and to my amazement I only managed to burn a few.

We set the table and everything; we used real plates and glasses. I looked at the clock wondering when the flock would arrive home.

We passed the time by cleaning the giant mess we had left in the kitchen, although in the end I think we only made a bigger mess. Half way through Fang had decided to spray me with water, which of course made me retaliate, and in the end the kitchen was soaked.

We were both killing ourselves laughing when Fang suddenly stopped.

"What?" I asked

That's when I noticed where he was staring; right at my chest. A blush immediately adorned my face. I had come to the realization that I was wearing a soaking wet white shirt that now by red lacy bra was completely visible.

"Umm... I better go put on something more..." I said trailing off

"Ah... yeah" he said while moving closer to me

Without warning his lips were on mine and we were making out. I don't know how much time had passed when I felt my phone vibrate in my pant pocket.

"Shit, hold on" I exclaimed, pulling put my phone

"Hello?" I asked already knowing that it was most likely Iggy

"Hey, we will be back in twenty k?"Came Iggy's voice

"K, I have got a surprise for you guys" I told him

"A surprise?" he questioned

"Yeah, cya soon" I said before hanging up the phone

As I turned I met Fang's eyes as another blush appeared on my cheeks.

"I really have to go change now" I muttered

"Yeah" he agreed somewhat reluctantly

I5 mins later I was back downstairs waiting for the flock to arrive; me and Fang were just sitting on the couch when the sound of the door opening caught our attention.

"Ready to greet the family?" I asked playfully

So here is ch 3
