A/N So whoever is the fiftieth reviewer to this chapter gets the next chapter dedicated to them. Just saying, because it could be a while before two people review and I wanted to update. So here it is! All songs in this chapter are by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

So the mall isn't all that bad. Not.
I've been given like, twenty weird looks, fifteen disapproving looks from old people, and about thirty pitying looks. Yeah, I've been keeping track. So far, we've been into Old Navy for baby clothes and maternity clothes, (which I didn't want to get because it's just wasting money, I'll be in labor in like, three weeks,) the Gap for baby stuff, the Children's Place for again, baby stuff. We even went into Hot Topic because they have baby clothes and a few maternity stuff. That was the only place Fang didn't look awkward in. Now all that's left that we are planning on going in is Babies 'R' Us.
That's where we are planning on spending a lot of money in. We'll be like, set for stuff for now. We walked in and it was freaking huge! There was toys, strollers, cribs, car seats, clothes, EVERYTHING!
"Max, why don't you and Fang go look at clothes while Angel, Ella, and I look at blankets and bedding! Oh, we could get Winney the Pooh themed! Or trucks or teddy bears! But since it's a boy we can't get princess. What sounds good to you? Oh, I'd just love to get him a teddy bear! Maybe one with a satin bow and a tan teddy or something! Oh, that'd just be perfect! Oh, would you mind if I got him a truck? But one with safe wheels and stuff because I would just die if Andrew choked on a wheel from a truck I gave him! Oh, that would be terrible! Should his blankets be blue because he's a boy? Or would you rather a different color because you don't like stereotypes like that?" Nudge rambled on and on.
"Nudge, why don't you get some truck blankets and pillows? Like now?" Fang said, noticing that I had this wicked big headache from the way I was rubbing my forehead.
"Yeah, Fang, that sounds like a good idea," Ella said, pulling Nudge and Angel along with her.
"Uh, let's go look at like cribs and stuff," Fang said, wheeling me towards the giant wall of cribs.
"Fang, I feel like shit, I say we ditch this and go to Wal*Mart." I said.
"Nope, Babies 'R' Us is the best place to buy stuff for your new baby!" Fang said with mock enthusiasm.
"Well, hmmm, I don't see books anywhere for our new baby!" I said, copying his mock enthusiasm.
"Duh, that's why we are going to Barnes and Noble after," he said, nuzzling my neck. But of course he had to bend way down because even though I'm tall, I'm in a freaking wheelchair!
"Ugh," I groaned.
My headache eventually went away once Nudge and Angel went away with Ella. Today Ella was actually good and not that talkative. I wonder why. Fang and I were looking at a display of bottles and crap when a voice I thought I wasn't going to hear, ever again popped up. Actually, make that two voices.
"Nick?!" The most annoying thing in the world said, Lisa. "Oh, Nick! I thought I wasn't going to see you ever again! And in Babies 'R' Us?! Wow!"
"Uh, yeah, hi," Fang stuttered.
"And you remember Sam, right? Well after you guys left we were both so distraught and fell in love. But then I got pregnant and we ran away to New Mexico!" Lisa said.
"Lovely story," I said dryly.
"Wait, isn't Max your sister?" Sam said. Well, I guess I don't get a hello.
"No, that was a lie we had going," I said, "and hello, Sam! It's lovely seeing you, too!" I said.
Sam just kind of looked at me all surprised like. "So, you're pregnant?" He asked.
I nodded my head. "It was nice seeing you, but truthfully, it wasn't nice to see you, so we are gonna go," I said. Lisa kinda gasped and Sam rolled his eyes and they walked away.
"Nice, Max, we can't take you anywhere now can we?" Fang said.
I rolled my eyes and we continued our wonderful shopping spree.
After mom came to pick us up from the mall, we realized something. We have room for two people besides mom because of all the stuff.
"Well, how about Fang, Angel, and Nudge fly and Max and Ella will come with me?" Mom said.
"No, I go with Max incase anything happens," Fang said, and he gripped his hands tightly on my wheelchair to prove his point.
Ella rolled her eyes, "and what do I do, take a taxi?" She said.
"If you don't mind," he said.
"Excuse me?! Is that anyway to talk to someone?"
"I wouldn't know, I've only had Jeb to teach my right from wrong."
"Okay, break it up! Fang, just fly with Nudge and Angel. They can fly ahead and you can follow the car if it makes you feel any better. Ella goes in the car with me and mom. But, if you really wanna go in the car Fang, I can fly instead." I said, and everyone yelled "No!" at me. I guess I won't be flying then.
"Max, you know I would never voluntarily abandon you. Never. Are you sure you want me to fly?" Fang said.
"Yes Fang! Fly, please! I love you!" I said, shooing him away with my hands.
"I love you, too," he said, and his dark eyes just looked at me.
He helped me into the car and watched us drive away. Then, he, Angel, and Nudge went out to the back of the mall and flew away.
I sat alone in the back, listening to the radio, and Ella got wicked annoyed with it so she put in a c.d., and one of the prettiest songs came on and it kind of reminded me of Fang and me.
VERSE ONE
"When I see your smile, tears run down my face,
I can't replace,
And now that I' strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know, I'll find deep inside me I can be the one.
CHORUS
I will never let you fall, let you fall, (let you fall,)
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be with you through it all, (through it all,)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.
VERSE TWO
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay-ay-ay.
Seasons are changing,
And waves are crashing,
And stars are falling all for us.
Days grow longer
And stars are falling all for us.
Nights grow longer and days grow shorter
And I can show you I can be the one.
CHORUS
I will never let you fall, let you fall, (let you fall,)
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be with you through it all, (through it all,)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.
BRIDGE
'Cause you're my (you're my)
my-i-i-i true love
My whole heart.
Please don't throw that away.
'Cause I'm here for you.
Please don't walk away,
And please tell me you'll stay.
Whoaaao stay! Whoaaaao!
Use me as you will,
Pull my strings just for a thrill,
And I know I'll be okay,
Even though my skies are turning gray.
CHORUS
I will never let you fall, let you fall, (let you fall,)
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be with you through it all, (through it all,)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.
I will never let you fall, let you fall, (let you fall,)
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be with you through it all, (through it all,)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.
I will never let you fall, I'll stand up for you forever, even if saving you sends me to heaven."
Aw, that was a sweet song. The next song reminded me a lot of what the Flock used to be like. But living in a house and staying in one place and a baby really changed that perspective around.
"I
see the sweat is dripping You like to hide behind
lies I'm gonna make you let go Boy, you better pray You like to hide behind lies I'm gonna make you let go Boy, you better pray Is this good enough
for you man? Boy, you better pray
That's because you know just what I'm
thinking
Don't look back it's me who follows
And there ain't
nothing from me you can borrow
But we see through your disguise
It's not a threat or a
curse
Just a proper verse
Of
what you tried to withhold
And I can promise it won't be long
Yes
I can promise
We don't seek you out,
no
You better pray
I've only shown you the tip of the
iceberg
And you rely upon your lawyers
But at night when you
sleep does it bother you?
But
we see through your disguise
It's not a threat or a curse
Just
a proper verse
Of what you tried
to withhold
And I can promise it won't be long
Yes I can
promise
We don't seek you out, no
You
better hope
We might lose control, no
We don't seek you out,
no
You better hope
We might lose control, no
Yeah, I miss those days pretty badly. But I think the days to come will be a whole lot better and a lot more rewarding. Except there will be less action and ass kicking of course.
A/N
I know Your Guardian Angel and You Better Pray are on different
albums but whatever. Anyways, let's give Google and a
round of applause for these lyrics! Yay! Haha, remember, fiftieth
reviewer gets the next chapter dedicated to them! By the way, since I
know the whole story in my head and I have it all drawn out, I'm
guessing that this will only be ten chapters long. And I'm not
planning on a sequel but I am thinking about having a one shot follow
up. And I recently added a FanFiction to the Nineteen Minutes
archive! I wrote it out of boredom so you should check it out and
Jacob, I Have Loved. I'll hopefully update that soon, too! And
whoever reviews gets a cookie when I get one! =D
