Hey guys! Thanks so much for the reviews on my last chapter! I am so sorry I haven't updated in forever. I have been in and out of the ER lately and the doctors don't know what's wrong with me. I am currently on vacation in DISNEY WORLD and have to go to the parks and ride in a wheelchair because of everything going on with me. Talk about a lame vacation.
I am going to give you a slight warning for this chapter: Things do get a little hot and heavy but there will be NO LEMON. I DO NOT WRITE LEMONS. I never have and never will. It's just not my thing, but things do get pretty hot and heavy! A lemon is implied but is not actually written into the story. So, I hope you enjoy this chapter! Love y'all!
Max POV
It's been almost a month since Dylan showed up and Fang and I haven't really been talking since the baby thing. I kind of feel bad for crushing him the way I did. I want to have a baby, I really do, I'm just scared of how the rest of the flock would react. If they would get mad and hate me, or if they would be so excited that they spend so much time with the baby that it doesn't really become mine and Fang's but everyone's baby. I couldn't take that. I am a very possessive person, as a lot of you probably already know. I just think that we should finishing adjusting to me being here, with the Flock, before we fully settle down. I understand that we have been here for nearly a month and half and that should be enough time to settle down, but I just don't feel that safe anymore. I don't know if it's a motherly thing and I am just protecting my child or that I am just paranoid and going insane.
It's currently the middle of the afternoon and Skai decided that she needed to take a nap so she fell asleep watching the Aristocats with her head in my lap and her legs in Fang's. I look over at Fang and see that he is staring straight at the TV. The movie only has a few minutes left so it's just ending. He must sense me watching him because he turns his head and looks in my direction then looks down at Skai fast asleep. He looks up and whispers, "I'm going to take her into her room." I nod mutely and watch as he stands up and carefully takes the girl into his arms. She stirs but doesn't wake. He carries her off into her bedroom as I continue to watch the ending of the movie.
The screen fades to black as I hear him silently close the door to Skai's bedroom. I stand from the couch and bend down in front of the DVD player to take out the movie. I get the movie out then stand straight to see that Fang is no where to be found. I walk into the hallway and see that he has gone into our bedroom. I sigh deeply and then turn off the TV and walk into our bedroom as well. Fang is laying on the bed with his hands clasped behind his head and his eyes closed. I stand in the doorway and just look at him. He must sense my staring again because with closed eyes he says, "It's rude to stare."
I slowly walk into the room and crawl onto the bed and lay next to him. "I'm sorry." I mumble. He doesn't say anything, just lays there with his eyes closed. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings a few weeks ago when we talked, but I need you to understand why I said what I said. I'm scared that if we have another baby, the Flock could react in a bad way or a good way." He must be confused because he opens his eyes and looks at me. "I don't want them to get mad that we are making the family bigger but I'm also scared that they would love the baby so much that it would become the whole Flock's baby, not just our's. And I want it to be only our's. Maybe I'm crazy but I am seriously scared of that happening. More than them hating us and getting mad. I don't want that to happen. I must be extremely possessive or something but I am terrified that will happen. I want a baby, you have to believe me, I really do. I didn't say no because I wanted to make you mad or anything. I was just scared."
He just stares at me silently for a minute. I don't think he is going to reply so I roll over so that I am facing away from him. A minute later I feel his arms come around my waist from behind and pull me closer so my back is against his chest. "How could you ever think that the Flock would do that?" He says into my hair.
"I don't know. Like I said, I'm probably just paranoid and extremely possessive."
"They would never hate us for expanding our family. We would probably have to move into a bigger house, though. This house is getting awfully cramped."
I laugh quietly and turn in his arms. I set my hand on his cheek and trace my thumb along his cheekbone as we stare into each other's eyes. His gaze drops to my mouth and then he looks back up into my eyes. He slowly leans forward and I find myself leaning too and let my eyes drift closed. Our lips meet in the softest kiss I have ever experienced, but it's not enough. I press my mouth harder aginst his and feel his mouth curve into a small smile in return. He rolls over so that he is laying over me but he moves so carefully that our lips don't disconnect. Somebody must have walked by our room and saw because I hear our door close softly. I smile slightly and weave my fingers through Fang's hair. His hands drift down to my hips and he plays with the hem of my shirt. I run my hands down his back and find the hem of his shirt and start to pull it up. His lips leave mine for a second so that I can get his shirt over his head and then they are back on mine again, his teeth nipping at my lip making me gasp softly. My gasp gives him an opportunity for his tongue to enter my mouth.
I feel his hands slowly pulling up my shirt until it reaches my ribs where he stops. I pull away so he can get the shirt over my head and then his lips are on my neck and jaw making their way to my collarbone. I reach down and link my fingers through his belt loops pulling him impossibly closer to me. I move my hands so they are in the back pockets of his jeans as his hands sit on my hips rubbing small circles on the bones. I slowly trace my hands up his back until my fingers are resting in his hair. I lightly tug at the strands and hear him quietly moan against my shoulder. I swear that it was the sexiest sound I have ever heard in my whole life. My hands are moving again but this time to the button on his jeans. I begin to undo the button and slowly pull down the zipper. Fang must notice what I'm doing because he pulls away and looks at me, making me open my eyes.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asks quietly.
"Yes." I whisper back. He gets up and I silently wonder what he is doing and then I see that he slowly opens the door and peeks out. I hear him chuckle slightly and then close the door and lock it. "What?" I ask.
"Well, whoever shut the door thought they should put a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door."
I smile and say, "It was probably Nudge."
"Probably." He says as he walks back over and crawls back on the bed and hovers over me. He pecks my lips softly. "I love you," he whispers against my lips. "so much."
"I love you, too." I whisper back.
You can probably guess what happened next: we made love. It was the first time in 5 years and it was only our second time. I don't know if it's even possible but Fang was better then the first time and much more gentle. Every kiss, every touch, every look was full of love. It couldn't have been any better than it was those few hours ago. Of course we had fallen asleep afterwards so that brings us to right now. We are laying under the covers, my head on his chest and his arm wrapped protectively around my waist.
I slowly begin to wake up, my eyes fluttering open. My hand is resting against his chest next to my face. I turn and look up at his sleeping face. He looks so beautiful when he is sleeping, so peaceful. I look back at my hand and trace slow patterns on his chest. I know he is a light sleeper so when I feel him drawing circles in my lower back I don't freak out. We lay there in silence for a moment, just enjoying the moment before I speak.
"We should probably get up soon. We probably missed dinner. And everyone must be wondering what happened to us."
"Just a few more minutes." I turn my head so my chin is resting against his chest and look at his face. His eyes lock on mine and I'm instantly lost.
"I love you," I say.
"I love you, too." He says. He leans forward and gently kisses my forehead. I close my eyes as his lips linger a little longer than usual. A soft knock pulls me from our moment.
"Hey," Nudge's voice comes through the door. "Are you guys awake?" We sit in silence wondering what would happen if we don't reply. "Guys?" Her voice sounds a little concerned now. "Oh my god. Iggy!" Her voice is quietly disappearing down the hall. It's silent again and I'm at peace. My peace is short lived though because next thing I know the door is being opened by Iggy. Stupid Iggy and his locking picking skills...
"Really, dude?" Fang's voice comes from above my head. I then hear Nudge squeak from the doorway.
"I'm so sorry! I thought maybe something happened! I was scared one of you was hurt or dead or something! I didn't mean to interrupt your moment! Oh my gosh! Please forgive me! Now I feel terrible! I didn't-"
"Nudge!" I interrupt. She stops talking and looks at me expectantly. "Just take Iggy and leave so we can get dressed."
Nudge nods and then grabs Iggy's arm and walks out of the room. I sigh heavily and turn to look at Fang. "Now we really have to get up. What time is it?"
Fang looks over the side of the bed at the clock. "7:30." Great. We missed dinner. Where is Skai even? I sit up in the bed and have the sudden need to wrap the sheets around me for my extreme self-consciousness. "Max," Fang says. "You are absolutely beautiful. You shouldn't feel self-conscious. You are the most beautiful girl to walk the Earth. I love you so much and completely unconditionally."
I smile slightly as I turn and look at Fang. "Well, look who's turning into a softy." I giggle at the scowl on his face and get up and start pulling my clothes on. After I pull my shirt on I turn and see that Fang is already dressed. I walk over to him and take his hand as we walk out of the room and into the hallway, heading for the kitchen. Everyone is sitting at the table talking and laughing.
"Hey, guys." I say. "What's going on?"
"Oh, hey Max." Angel says turning to me. "By the way, try to keep your thoughts to yourself." She smiles, winking at me. I feel heat rush to my face and hear Fang chuckle slightly next to me so I elbow him in the ribs, satisfied with the sound of air leaving his lungs for a moment. "Oh, don't think I wasn't talking to you, too, Fang. Your thoughts were pretty loud." Now it's Fang's turn to turn red and I chuckle.
"Well, maybe if you didn't read our minds whenever you felt like it, you wouldn't hear those things." Fang says glaring playfully at Angel.
"Whatever, guys." I say. "Where's Skai?"
"Oh," Nudge says. "She's out in the living room watching TV. I don't know what she is watching though. It's probably a cartoon or something. OMG, what if she is watching Spongebob? I love Spongebob! But, the show makes absolutely no sense. Fire underwater, seriously? That can't even happen. It would be totally cool if it could. But then it would hurt the little fish in the water. That would stink! Those poor little fish! I want a fish. Ya know, we should go to the pet store and get a pet a some kind. That would be so cool. We should get a rabbit or something. No, that would be like life on the run from when we ate rabbit. Oooh! A cat! I would love-" Gazzy smacks his hand over Nudge's mouth at that point. Thank God.
"What did you guys eat for dinner?"
"Iggy made pizza." Gazzy tells me, his hand still over Nudge's mouth. Suddenly he yanks it away wiping it on his jeans furiously. "Gross, Nudge! Why did you lick my hand! Thats nasty!"
"Well, maybe you should have taken your hand away sooner." Then she does the mature thing and sticks her tongue out at Gazzy. Still can't believe that she is 17. She sure doesn't act like it sometimes.
I walk out of the kitchen into the living room where Skai is sitting on the couch watching some cartoon. I sit down on the couch next to her. "Hey, babe." I say pushing her black hair aways from her eyes.
"Hi, Mommy."
"What do you think about going for a fly with me and daddy?"
She looks up at me with happiness in her eyes. "Really?" She says.
I nod my head and smile at her. "Yes, we can. But, you-"
"Okay!" She runs from room in search of Fang. It's silent for a moment. And then I hear it. "Daddy! Daddy! Come on! We gonna fly! Daddy!" She whines the last 'Daddy'. I turn and see her practically dragging Fang out of the kitchen. She is pulling him by the hand to the front door.
"Woah," I say getting up from the couch. "Slow your roll, little one. You need to clean up that messy room of your's first."
She looks up at me, confusion in her eyes. "You didn't say I have to do that."
"You ran out of the room before I got to. Now, go clean up that room, tell me and Daddy, then we can go flying. Okay?"
"Okay." She pouts then walks out of the room.
I turn to Fang once she is out of the room and see him cradling his hand. "What's wrong? Did our five year old daughter hurt your hand?" I ask teasingly.
Fang nods his head, looking completely serious. "I swear she just about broke all of my fingers."
"Aww, look who's getting old." He glares playfully at me before he gets a mischevious look in his eyes. "Fang?" No answer. He just moves closer to me. "Fang, whatever you are planning, don't you dare-" I am cut off by Fang slinging me over his shoulder like a fireman and running out of the room and around the kitchen, me pounding on his back. "Fang! Put me down! Fang! Ugh! I swear, I'm gonna kill you!" He continues to run around the kitchen as the Flock laughs at us. "If you don't put me down this minute, you won't be having anymore kids with me!" He ignores me because he knows that I would never do that because I want more kids, too.
Next thing I know I am being thrown on our bed and he is tickling me like crazy. I can't stop laughing and start having issues breathing. "Stop! Stop!" I screech. But he doesn't, he continues to tickle me until he grows tired of laughing. By the time he stops I am utterly breathless. "I love you." I say.
He rolls over from his position on our bed and smiles at me. "I love you, too."
I smile back and think to myself, I really hope we were lucky.
Sorry it's kinda short this time. Truth is, I have been working on this chapter forever and really wanted to get it posted. I hope you liked it. A little, okay a lot, of Fax fluff. I thought it was cute, but I may have done it and went a little too OOC. So, I also wanted to share that I met the wonderful, incredible, and amazingly friendly Frankie J. Grande, Ariana Grande's brother! Definitely the best day of my life! If you don't believe me, the pictures are on my Instagram, _again you can also follow me while you are on there. I would love that. But, I hoped you liked this chapter. Probably not my best work but it was pretty good I think. So R&R please! The more you review, the sooner I update!
Love y'all!
