A/N-Argh! I had to cut two chapters this time! To all the guys at Critics Unite: Fuck you.

Yes, I realize I've only actually talked to three of them.

No, I don't think I need to know all of them to judge them. Joining Critics Unite is completely voluntary! That says something about them already, without my even knowing them!

Anyway, say goodbye to the cliff-diving and groupchat chapters. I'll rewrite them to the best of my ability, but it won't be the same. Again, Critics Unite: Fuck you.

-sigh- Enjoy chapter 7!


A/N-I was going to do Fang's proposal for this, but then I realized how hopelessly overdone that was, so I decided on a moment after their marriage and after Phoenix was born.

Everything is canon but there are cities on Earth II now. Phoenix has grown up, gotten married, and now has a two-year-old daughter named Callie Ride.

Flock ages:

Max, Fang, Iggy: 37

Nudge: 34

Gazzy: 30

Angel: 28

Phoenix: 22

Caiden (Phoenix's husband): 21

Callie: 2

Question: What's the fluffiest moment Max and Fang have ever shared?

I was making cookies when-

Yeah, you heard me. I was baking.

Anyway, I heard Fang come in before I saw him, and I immediately placed a piece of wood over the bowl with the cookie batter before he could get his sneaky invisible hands in it. We played this game every time I made cookies, and I always won. So there. Fang appeared behind me and sighed, running his hand through his long black hair. He circled his arms around my waist, hugging me to him. I sighed with contentment. He kissed the top of my head.

"We made it to thirty-seven, huh, Max?"

"Hell yeah we did. And I'm so lucky to get more time with you and the flock."

"And I'm lucky too. To have enough time to maybe come close to showing you exactly how much I love you."

"It didn't seem that difficult last night." I winked.

He smiled, groaned, rolled his eyes.

"You and your dirty mind."

He kissed the top of my head softly, sweetly. And then my little granddaughter, my Callie, toddled into the kitchen on her chubby baby legs, tiny, downy wings extended. I picked her up and Fang enveloped her in our hug too. And in that moment, I was happier than I've ever been.

A/N-Merry Christmas from me and all the characters I've kidnapped and kept over the years! (Most of them are still here.) (Stupid Wolf, trying to escape. I had to knock him out and tie him up for a few days before he realized escape was impossible. I'll have to send him to Saint's eventually.) (Angel managed to get out, but she hasn't helped any of the others yet. I guess I kidnapped evil!Angel.)
