He sat quiet for a moment completely stunned I suppose. What happened next surprised me. He broke out in the biggest smile I had ever seen on him before.
Raven and Jay jumped up and ran over to him. They stopped right before they smashed into Fang. "Mommy said we couldn't hug you because you were hurt," said Jay looking a bit upset at that fact.
Fang smiled at them and reached out his one good arm wrapping them both into a hug. They gently wrapped their arms around him as well. Next to me I saw a tear roll down Angel's cheek and Nudge was fanning her eyes. Iggy was smiling and Gazzy was too.
I stood up and walked over to my family. I smiled at Fang and he smiled back brighter than the sun. I leaned forward and gently placing my hands on his shoulders and kissed him gently. That kiss held so much passion though, so much love. I pulled away and sat down next to the couch and pulled Raven and Jay into my lap. During that whole time my eyes never left my family.
A week later and Fang had regained the use of his arm though it was still a bit sore. We refused to let him walk yet unless he had too. Right now he was sitting on the couch and I was sitting next to him. His arm was wrapped around me and my head rested on his shoulder.
Raven came over to us and climbed up on the couch next to Fang. She looked for at him for a moment and then wrapped her small arms around his neck and planted a small kiss on his cheek. She then crawled onto his lap and repeated the process with me.
"Where's Jay," I asked her my head still resting on his shoulder.
"He's playing with Gazzy and Iggy but Angel told you not to worry because she was watching to make sure they didn't do anything stupid."
I smirked and closed my eyes. Everything was so perfect. It all just felt so right. A moment later the doorbell rang and I moved to get it but Fang pulled me back. Nudge ran by and opened the door with a smile.
"You guys weren't answering your phones so we thought we'd come find you. I knew the tracking devices would come in handy!" said the voice.
"You guys need to come visit more. It's so boring without you," said another voice.
"Well come on in. Things are about as boring as they get thought," said Nudge. I heard her move aside and two sets of footsteps enter. Iggy, Gazzy, Angel, and Jay are in the garage working on some new project. And the lovebugs are in the living room with Raven."
"Three questions: Lovebugs? Raven? Jay?"
"Oh you guys don't know. Well of course you don't know or you would've told us! I guess you'll find out soon enough."
"Nudge who is at the door?" I called out.
"Max?!" I heard one of the guests cry. I was suddenly being pulled off the couch and into a hug by the two visitors.
I looked and saw that it was my Mom and Ella. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked.
"The Flock wouldn't answer their cells and we thought they were in trouble. We had tracking devices put in after you disappeared so we couldn't lose one another. What are you doing here?" asked Mom.
"Sorry bad cell reception out here. Anyway I live here have been for three years more or less now."
She looked over my shoulder and noticed Fang's injuries. "What happened?" she asked.
"He got a tad distracted and flew into a tree," I explained. "He's mostly better now, but we're making him stay off his leg for a little bit longer."
He rolled his eyes and I sighed.
"Oh my goodness!" squealed Ella and she ran over to Raven. "Hi I'm Ella! You're…." she thought for a moment, "Raven right? You did say Raven didn't you Nudge."
"Yeah that's Raven. The one and only and coolest three year old I know."
"Hey!" cried Jay from behind her. He had just come into the room, "What about me?!"
"You're the coolest the year old boy I know," laughed Nudge picking him up in a hug. He hugged her back and started laughing while Nudge tickled him without mercy.
I sat back down next to Fang and Raven crawled in between us.
"Have they been here with you Max. Where'd you find them?" asked Mom looking at Jay with a gentle smile.
"Yes they have been staying here with me all these years," I said. "Now the other question, that's a hard one."
Fang rolled his eyes and laughed. Nudge snickered as well.
"Mind if I pick you up sweetheart?" I asked Raven. She shook her head. Okay, that woman over there is your Grandma and Ella is your Aunt. Would it be okay if Grandma held you?
She nodded and I walked over. I handed Raven to my mom who seemed only too willing to play with my daughter. "Mom this is your granddaughter Raven and this," I said taking Jay from Nudge, "Is your grandson Jay."
She looked at my shock on her face, "You mean they're yours? Like biologically yours?"
I nodded and kissed Jay on the top of his head. "Fang is their father."
At the mention of Fang's name Jay broke into a smile and I put him down so he could go over and hug him. Raven looked up at mom, "Would it be okay if I went over to my Daddy?"
Mom smiled and put her down where she went over and sat on Fang's lap. "You understand why I left don't you?"
Mom smiled and nodded, "You did a good job with them. Did the others just find out or were they in on this?" She raised an eyebrow at Nudge but there was a smile on her face.
"They just found out a couple weeks ago," I replied. I turned and hugged an extremely happy Ella. She hugged me back tight.
Mom and Ella stayed for dinner but they insisted they spend the night at a hotel since my house was already so crowded. I insisted on them staying here but they wouldn't have any of it. stand why I left don't you?"
Mom smiled and nodded, "You did a good job with them. Did the others just find out or were they in on this?" She raised an eyebrow at Nudge but there was a smile on her face.
"They just found out a couple weeks ago," I replied. I turned and hugged an extremely happy Ella. She hugged me back tight.
Mom and Ella stayed for dinner but they insisted they spend the night at a hotel since my house was already so crowded. I insisted on them staying here but they wouldn't have any of it. A week later and Fang was completely better. He had even gone on a flight with us yesterday. That night Fang and I were the only ones still awake.
"I better be going to bed," he said with a yawn. I nodded in agreement. He started to reach for the pillow he'd been using but I grabbed his arm stopping him.
"Why don't you sleep with me?" I asked with a small smile.
"You sure," he asked. I could see the happiness on his face and together we headed upstairs and into my room.
