Cravings
1 month later…………
Max is three months pregnant.
Fang's POV
"Fang!!!! Fang!!!!!" Max called for about the millionth time this week.
"Yes, Madam Ride." I called.
"Can you get me a cheeseburger?" she asked.
"You've had five already today." I sighed frustrated.
"Please Fangy?" she pleaded. Fangy? That's weird. Stupid hormones.
"Okay."
"Love you, Fang."
"I know."
The funny thing about pregnancy, unless you give her what she wants, she explodes. So for the past two or three months, I've been running around all the local shops, getting whatever my babies' mama needs. For the sixth time today, I went to Burger King.
"Hey, Nancy." By now I had been here so many times, I knew the names of every employee in the place.
"Hi Nick. The usual?" she asked, fighting a smile.
"Yep." I answered.
"Who are these for anyway?" a guy in the back snickered.
"My girlfriend."
"Oh?" she asked, not at all surprised. "She knocked up?"
"That's a nice way of putting it but, yeah pretty much." The guys in the back burst out laughing.
"Good job, Nick." She called after me as I walked out the door.
I didn't feel like riding the bus, so I flew home. This would probably be the highlight of my day. I decided to just enjoy the freedom. As soon as I walked through the door, I would most likely be sent right out again. I tucked my wings in, falling fast before snapping them open again just before I hit the ground. What a rush. I enjoyed the feeling of the sun on my wings for the moment.
I knew Max would be waiting. I thought about her a lot. She was in pain. Pain of my making. It hurt to know this was my fault. I loved her, though I didn't tell her that enough. I did, more than she knew. I flew faster towards the house.
Max's POV
Where was Fang? He should be here by now. God, I was so hungry. And my back hurt. Carrying twins ain't fun. Where was he? Uhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! This sucks. I hate Fang. No, I don't. I love him, way too much. In fact, I love him so much; it keeps me from ripping out his throat.
Akila and Total came prancing in to the kitchen.
"Hello, Max." he said.
"Hi." I waved absent-mindedly.
"I have some news." He glanced at Akila.
"Cool."
"Well, don't you want to hear it?" he asked excitedly. Magnolia barked outside.
"Not really, but I'm sure you'll tell me anyway." I growled.
"You bechya. Max, Akila is with child."
"What?" I asked flatly.
"That's right; you and Akila are going to be mommies together." He smiled a doggy grin. Oh joy, more mutant bird hybrids. "Angel, baby, can you get your dog?" I called.
"I prefer Canine- American." He laughed.
"Yeah?" Angel flitted into the room.
"Angel! Akila is having babies!" Total exclaimed.
"Really? That's great!" She reached down and pat his and Akila's heads. "But does everybody in this house have to have sex?!" she yelled exasperated.
"Did she just say what I think she said?" Total asked, shocked.
"Yep." I said. Angel stormed out of the room.
"I'll go talk to her." Total said as he pranced after her.
"You do that."
"What's going on?" Ella asked, followed by Iggy, Gazzy, and Nudge.
"Akila is pregnant." I told everyone. The room was then filled with congratulations and petting and Fanta.
Sometime during all this, Fang walked in the door. Finally. I waddled over to fill him in on the happenings and to get my much anticipated burger. Everybody else got bored and left the room. Fang put the bag on the table.
"Thank you." I shrieked in happiness.
"My pleasure." He said as I took a bite out of my burger. It was so good. He watched me eat, smiling to himself every once in a while.
"What?" I asked around bites.
"Nothing, I'm just admiring your happy glow. You're brilliant."
For some reason, tears welled in my eyes. I threw my arms around his neck.
"Well, well, well. What is all this about." His mouth twitched, fighting a smile.
"Blame it on the hormones."
"Aaawww. I thought it was because you loved me." He smirked.
"That too."
"Well, I love you too, Maxi." He smiled. Maxi? That's new. Fang is so weird sometimes. I finished my burger and kissed him. He looked surprised at first, and then he kissed me back.
"Not this again!!" Angel yelled, finally returning form the depths of her room. Fang and I broke apart, both of us embarrassed.
"Angel, that was rude. You should apologize." Fang scolded her.
"Well, if you hadn't been doing that in the first place, you wouldn't be in this mess." She counteracted. I started crying. She was right. I ran, well, waddled to my room and locked the door.
"Look what you did, Angel. You upset her. She is in a very fragile condition." I heard Fang say through the door. Me, fragile? Thanks, Fang, that made me fell so much better. "Go say you're sorry." I heard a knock on the door.
"Max? Can I come in?" Angel asked. I got up and unlocked the door.
"I'm sorry." She began before I interrupted her.
"Angel, it's not you're fault. I'm just overly emotional because of the hormones. And you were right. If I hadn't taken things too far, I wouldn't be pregnant."
"Max, its okay to regret it." She said.
"Oh, no, Angel, I don't regret it. I'm happy I did, it's just that I'm so young. I should have waited." I admitted. Angel hugged me. We stayed like that for a while.
"The babies love you." She whispered.
"What?" I asked.
"The babies love you." She repeated. "I keep picking up on their thoughts. They love you and Fang. They can't wait to see you."
"Thank you, baby." I held her tighter. I loved Angel when she was like this. Not trying to control the world or anything like that. Just sweet and comforting. I patted her soft blonde curls.
After my gooey love fest with Angel, I was really tired. Just when I was about to take a nap, Gazzy walked in.
"Max?" he asked.
"Yeah Gazzy?" I sighed frustrated.
"There's something wrong with Fang." He giggled. I shot out of bed. Nothing good ever came when Gazzy giggled.
"What is it?!" I shouted.
"He …well… you should come see yourself."
We jogged down the hallway to find Fang, or what looked like Fang, lying flat on the floor.
"Fang, are you, um, feeling okay? I asked him.
"What do you mean?"
"You should, um, see for yourself. I think you've developed a new gift." I fought back a laugh.
He looked in the mirror.
Fang's POV
"!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
Max and the rest of the flock, which joined us at the sound of my scream of horror, were roaring with laughter.
I looked at my face again. I was a girl! I had black hair and green eyes. I was actually kind of pretty. But I'm a guy! I shouldn't look like this! Oh crap. I don't know how to change back. I was totally freaking out. Wait, since when do I use the word totally? Oh, my God, I'm turning into a girl!!!
"Hey, you and me have kinda the same skill!!" Angel gushed.
"Are you sure the kids are yours? I mean you can't exactly make babies as a girl." Iggy asked trying to be serious but failing miserably at it.
"I'm sure he's the dad, or in this case the mom." Max cracked up.
"Guess that makes you gay, Max, seeing as you are in love with me and I'm a girl." I snapped at her. Max turned bright red. The flock started in a whole new wave of laughter. Then, out of nowhere, Max kissed me. My gift was still in effect when she did so. I heard the sound of a camera. Iggy, Gazzy, and Ella whooped. Nudge and Angel were close to tears. When we broke apart, I looked in the mirror again. This time, I was looking at my own reflection. Thank God. At least I knew one way of turning off the gift.
"Guess so." Max whispered in my ear. I smiled at her. Max was still pressed to me, her bulging belly against my lower abs. Just then, I felt a kick against my stomach. My eyes widen. I looked at Max. She was smiling.
"I felt them kick." I spoke softly.
"Yep." She was still smiling. It felt good to see her so happy. I pressed my hand on her stomach again. I felt another kick.
"Wow. That's magical." I nodded.
"Talk to them." Max said.
"Um, okay." I kneeled down on the ground. "Hey there. I'm your dad. Can't wait to see you."
"Ooh, another kick." Max breathed slowly. She was going to be a great mom. I was actually excited to be a dad. Weird. I grinned widely. Iggy and Gazzy left after I changed back. Nudge, Angel, and Ella were oo-ing and aaww-ing in the background. All I did was stare at Max and all her maternal glory. She was so beautiful and I was so lucky to have her.

AliceinVA:
First, Fang and Max "bond". Then, Max gets pregnant with twins. Now, Max is making out with girls. There some seriously sick crap going on over there.
Angel'sSnuggieWillRuleTheWorld:
If Fang turns into a girl, does that make Max and Fang bi?
Iggy: Good question.
Vjgm:
My eyes, they burn.
Penguinsrkewl:
I'll stick with you whether you're in girl form or not. I'd still "bond" with you.
FangisMine:
Not cool Iggy. Penguin ho, stop leaving sick messages.
