Chapter 4: Picnic Panic!

Nudge's POV

Ok, it's 2 in the freaking morning, and Gazzy is still up. I sent him to bed hours ago, but he insisted on staying up. He had his first little date with Taylor, and we discovered that the twins have a new power: They can see what a person's doing just by thinking about them. That actually can be a really handy skill. But we'll worry bout that later. Right now, we're talkin bout Gazzy.

So he was talking with Iggy earlier about his date with Taylor, and how he couldn't wait for the neighborhood picnic. He said he needed something nice to wear to impress Taylor, and he's been searching through all his clothes tryin to find something. Iggy said he would help him, so I went to bed.

I was seriously pissed off now, and so was everyone else. I slowly got out of bed, and headed down the hall to Gazzy's room. The door was open, and I could see Iggy was passed out on Gazzy's bed under a pile of clothes.

"No….this isn't right either." He said, throwing a shirt behind him. Guess where that shirt landed? On my head.

"GAZZY!!!!" I shouted. He whipped around, and nearly screamed like, well, Angel.

"Man Nudge. You almost gave me a heart attack. What's up?"

"I know you wanna impress Taylor, but you need to go to sleep."

"But-"

"NO BUTS! Unless you want me to kick yours. Now, go to bed. I will help you look for something in the morning since Iggy was incapable of doing even that. Speaking of which." I through the shirt on the ground, and walked over to the bed. "GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP NOW IGGY!" I shouted, kicking him off the bed.

"AHHH!" he shouted before hitting the floor with a loud thud. "Ow…what happened?" he asked. He turned, and looked straight at me. His face instantly had a look of fear on it. "What going on Nudge? You ok?"

"NO! My boyfriend is passed out under a pile of clothes, and my brother is making a bunch of noise looking for clothes to wear to a freaking picnic that's not for another 9 and ½ hours!" I stomped out of the room, and slammed the door behind me. Now, normally, I'm not this angry over something as sleeping alone, or loss of sleep, but you try raising two kids, and being 3 months pregnant with another one (Well if you're a bird kid, then you'd only be a month pregnant). You kind lose it a little every now and then.

As soon as I got back into the room, I got back into bed, and was passed out in seconds.

I awoke the next morning to a weird feeling in my stomach. I got out of bed, and tried to walk a bit. My stomach was upset, that or the baby. I went to the bathroom, and got a cold glass of water. My stomach felt better, but I still felt bad. "Angel!" I yelled down the hall.

Angel strolled out of her bedroom, and into the bathroom doorway. "Morning Nudge. What's up?"

"I'm feel a little sick. I think it may have something to do with the baby. Can you-"

"Read it's mind, and see if there's something wrong?"

"Yea."

"Ok." She placed her hands on my bulging stomach, and concentrated. "Ok. I'm getting something. It's….angry?"

"Angry? Why?" I was starting to get a little worried.

"It's saying cause you yelled at the other person who's always talking to it at night" she laughed.

I blushed a little. This was embarrassing. "Oh. Sorry little person." I said, speaking to my stomach. "Mommy's just a little stressed out. She didn't mean to yell at daddy." I then felt a sudden kick. "Ow. That's weird."

"What is?" asked Angel as she prepped her toothbrush.

"When I was pregnant with the girls, they didn't start to kicking me until I was starting my third trimester. I'm only entering my second. I'd better go talk to mom." I said before Angel could respond.

I ran downstairs as fast as I could, considering my current condition, and into the kitchen. Mom was sitting at the table, reading the newspaper, and drinking coffee like she did ever morning. "Mom, I think there's something going on with the baby," I said, taking a seat next to her. Max was sitting on the other side of the table, playing peek-a-boo with Nat, while Iggy was making breakfast.

"What's the matter?" she asked putting her coffee mug down.

"Well, it was upset that I freaked out on Iggy last night. Sorry bout that Ig," I apologized to him.

"It's ok." he said as he continued to cook.

"Is that all?" Mom asked.

"No. I also noticed that it started kicking already. That didn't happen until I was going into my third month with the girls."

She nodded as she thought about what I was saying. "You know, I just thought about something." Max said from the other side of the table. "You look bigger then you did last time."

I gave Max a look of confusion. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, last time, you had a little bump. It was noticeable, but it wasn't like this until you were in the third month, and getting ready to give birth." This disturbing little fact brought something to my attention. When I first discovered I was pregnant, I didn't remember to see how long I was. I just assumed it was around then.

"Now that you mention it, I do remember throwing up for a week or so. I thought it was just the stomach flu. Which means-"

"That the baby's gonna be here soon." Angel said as she walked into the kitchen, and took her seat at the table.

We all turned to look at her like she was crazy. "Angel, did you anything about this?" Max asked.

"No. I couldn't read the baby's mind until Nudge told us she was pregnant. I would have eventually heard it's thoughts, but by then, she would have known she was pregnant."

"So I'm entering my third month, and the babies gonna be here even sooner. Great, like this day's gonna get any worse." I said. We all started laughing.

So after a crazy morning of figuring out how to get ready for the baby earlier than expected, we dressed the girls for the picnic, and waited in the living room for the rest of our family. "Hurry up guys, we're gonna be late!" Gazzy shouted up the stairs.

"Chill Gaz." Fang said as he carried Nat down the stairs. Nat was sleeping on Fang's shoulder like a little angel. He looked so cute.

"Yea Gazzy. You need to calm down." Max said as she followed Fang down the stairs. "You wake that baby up, and the next time you'll being seeing Taylor will be from your hospital bed. Got it?" she threatened.

His face turned a little pale. I laughed as I slowly got up from the couch. "Angel, Katie, Tony, let's go." I called to them.

Once we finally got to the picnic, Gazzy took off to find Taylor, and Katie, Angel, and Tony ran off for the moon bounce. Max rolled her eyes. "I swear, those kids." We found an empty table to sit at, and watched as everyone in the neighborhood had fun.

I had a lot people staring at me, and I even think I heard a teenager call me a slut. I was about to get up, and kick her ass, when I suddenly stopped. Iggy grabbed my arm. "Nudge, don't let her get to you. She's not worth it."

"No….no. It's not that. It's the baby. I think-"I suddenly felt a sharp pain, and heard a splash. "AHHHH!" I screamed. Everyone looked at me. "Iggy, it's coming! The baby's coming!" I said. Iggy grabbed me, and helped me sit down.

"Max!" Iggy yelled. She and Fang came running over to us.

"What's the matter?" she asked, putting her hand on my forehead.

"It's the baby. It's coming. We have to get her home, and fast!" he said in a low voice as I continued to breathe.

Max nodded her head, and turned to Fang. "Go get the others. Tell them in private what's going on. Iggy, you and I will have to get Nudge home. I'll call mom on our way home."

Next thing I know, I was on my feet, rushing to get into what looked like Mom's van. "Hurry Mom, we got to get her home." Max said as she closed the door.

"THERE'S NO TIME! IT'S COMING NOW!" I shouted. I felt the car moving.

"We'll park the car away from the picnic so it doesn't attract attention." She said, pressing the gas. We suddenly stopped, and the door opened again. Mom was there, checking what was happening. "She's ready. Ok Nudge, on the count of thr-" But I could even count.

"AAAAHHHHHH!!!!" I screamed as I pushed. This kid was seriously gonna get it. I mean come on. I'm the parent, so shouldn't I decide when I'm ready to push, and not the baby? I pushed as hard as could. "Iggy! I swear to God, your-"

"I know. I'm gonna pay for doing this to you. I remember you saying that last time. It's ok Nudge, it's all over. Again."

I was so tired, but I had to see the baby before I passed out. I held the baby in my arms. "It's a boy…." I said smiling at Iggy. The baby cried a loud cry, but I was happy he was here. Even if it was a little earlier than expected, again. He had strawberry blonde hair, light colored skin, and green eyes. He was a little Iggy. I hope he doesn't turn out to be a little pyro. As I held him, something hit me. "Oh my God! Iggy look!"

Iggy hovered over me, and saw what I was talking about. "Oh my God! I can't believe it!"

"What's the matter?" Max asked.

To Be Continued……

Ok, I know what you're all thinking: You Jerk! How dare you leave us with a cliff hanger! You are so mean!" Well guess what? I know I am! But I have a reason. There's something going on with the baby, and I want to know what you think. Until I get 5 reviews of what people think is going on, you will not know! I'm seriously! HAHAHAHA!

Remember: Keep reading, writing, and reviewing!

Later!
