Minimum# 2
Chapter 11
Fang's POV
She was so beautiful. More gorgeous than any other human being i'd ever seen. Sleeping so soundly and quiet. Her arms were wrapped around her, her legs were tangled in a heap of blankets and sheets. Angel came up next to me, Total in her arms. The rest of the flock filed in the room, there faces worn and tired. Gazzy looked at me, brow cocked.
" So Fang" He began, a confused look spread across his childish face. " Why are we watching Max?" I shrugged, twisting my mouth into a grin. Why were we watching Max?
" Wheres Minimum?" Nudge asked softly, her big brown eyes boring a hole in the side of my head. I shrugged again. The truth was. I knew exactly where Minimum was. Dr M had safely Delivered Minimum, everything was perfect. It cried when it came out. It was so perfect, it reduced me to tears. Something that doesn't happen often.
" Can we see her?" Ella asked, her and Nudge doing bambi eyes. I suddenly felt weak at the knees. I shook my head. Nudge slapped her hands on her hips, pressing her lips together in a mad way.
" Why not?" She and Ella asked in unison. I swallowe hard, feeling the need to grap her by the throat and push her away. God, what is happening to me?
" She was premature" I spit out.
" We know that" Iggy said slickly, leaning up against the wall. I looked down, letting my hair fall in my face. They didn't understand.
" Very premature" Gazzy leaned forward, looking at me closer.
" Does that mean...Minimum could die?" I felt a lump forming in my throat, tears streaming down my face. I nodded slightly.
No one's POV [ I mean third person!]
Dr Martinez, watched the monitor, the beeps coming fast, faster than normal, faster than a normal bird kids. I sounded as if a regular human's pulse was multiplied by 50. This worried her. She pressed the stethoscope the the baby's oh-so small chest, listening to her quick heartbeat. What if this was normal? What if She had Max's and Fang's quick heart rate, combined. Her eyes went wide, sucking in a breath. The baby squirmed, opening its small chocolate brown eyes. It wiggled its fingers and toes. Dr Martinez laughed. This baby was obviously a comedian. She looked to her right, checking the tube giving oxygen to the baby. Everything seemed in order. Perfect.
Max's POV
What happened. Everything seemed so fuzzy. So surreal. I wiggled my fingers and toes, making sure they worked. I sat up, surrounded and a long field of dirt. Plain dirt. My belly was extremely flat. Thats not odd. I though when a woman gave birth, they had a baby bump from extra fat gained. I lifted up my shirt, my old, thin flawless skin covering my stomach. My brows furrowed. Was I dreaming like I did when I met the two Minimum's? Well, I was dreaming but, I wasn't pregnant anymore. My sick, premature baby was practically dying while I dozed in lala land! Dammit this sucks. Its not like I got to choose when I dreamed or woke up. I was lucky enough to pop my eyes open before Mom sliced me open. I stood up completelt, nothing hurt, nothing ached. Wow, pregnancy wasn't all that bad.
" Mom!" I spun around faster than i'd ever spun around. A grin stretched across my face as I saw two brown haired 6 year old sprinting across the dirt. I frowned when I saw them both wearing dirt overall and light blue undershirts. They were both dirt spattered, their bare feet were bloody.
" Oh my god" I whispered, leaning down the pull them both into my arms. Minimum # 1 looked up at me, her chocolate brown eyes gazing into mine.
" Where are you so dirty? Why are your feet bloody?" The Minimum's looked at each other.
" We have been searching for you" Minimum # 2 said quietly. Well, that explains the bloody feet but what about their clothes?
" We were attacked" Minimum # 1 mumbled, pushing her brown hair from her adorable little face.
" Attacked!" I gasped, eyes going wide. The Minimum's both nodded, scratching their heads with opposite hands.
" We were sitting in our grove" Minimum # 1 started. My mind wandered off to the grove where I first met them.
" Then the sky turned black" Minimum # 2 said. They were altering sentences. That always bugged me, but they didn't need to know. I nodded, listening.
" And Daddy came from the sky" The girl Minimum said, her voice becoming louder with each word.
" And he demanded which one was the real Minimum"
" We wouldn't tell him so..."
" He attacked us." I cupped my hand over my mouth. He couldn't. He wouldn't. The two Minimum's breath grew heavy and short, as if having trouble breathing.
" Are you ok?" I asked, looking at them worriedly. Their breaths came to a halt, both falling. I gasped, reaching out for them, but before they git the ground they turned to mist. Only leaving small footprints into the breeze.
" Minimum" I whispered.
Fang's POV
I stroked Minimum's small head of hair. This baby was more beautiful than anything in the world. You wanna know why? Because she had Max's face. Her nose, her full lips, arched brows, level cheekbones, even her chocolate brown eyes. The baby had my toes and fingers, a mix of Max's light brown hair and My black making the most beautiful shade of dark brown. I smiled as Minimum wiggled its small fingers. I looked to its face, small tubes running up its nose. It made my heart ache. You see, Minimum's lungs were too small to support her body so she needed a breather.
" Minimum" Nudge whispered, tears coming to her eyes.
" What does..."
" Like Max" Gazzy laughed, already knowing what Iggy was gunna say. Eyes, mouth face, everything"
" The only thing killing this moment is Max" Ella whispered looking at her.
" She doesn't even know the sex of her baby" I muttered, soon wishing I hadn't
" Whaaaat!" Ella and Nudge asked together, eyes going wide. I shrugged. Max gave birth (shudders) and passed out immediately. She never laid eyes on Minimum.
" Passed out, not laying an eye on Minimum" Gazzy made an o with his lips, letting out a loud ohhhhh.
[ Sorry that im calling the baby and it! Im not revealing the sex just yet! ]
Max's POV
I swallowed hard, realizing my loneliness. Your not along Max. The voice echoed in my head.
" Oh god" I muttered, rubbing my forehead. I wish my babies were here again. Their absence only making me feel more pain. My head began to ache. With each pound it grew worse. I clenched my teeth, balling my hands up.
" Stop!" I shouted. I grimaced on how stupid I sounded. I let out a loud scream and everything went white. (haha not black...don't look into the light! sorry not trying to be racist, just everything went bright)
Fang's POV
There was a long silence. Everyone was focused on the small baby, struggling to breath. The silnce broke with a loud scream. Angel, Nudge and Ella nearly jumped out of their pants. Everyone ran to the doorway, squeezing through. Angel was the first to make it through, a loud gasp escaping her lips. Max's back was arched, fists clenched, jaw tight. Her knuckles were white, matching her face. Everyone's eyes went wider than golf balls.
" What happening to her?" Angel asked, her voice quivering. Like a light switch, her body relaxed, crumpling back onto the bed.
" I, I don't know" Gazzy whispered, sounding small and childish.
Max's POV
I whimpered, grasping the sides of my head. I thought those stupid brian explosions had stopped. I bit my lip, quickly tasting blood. The pain halted, I crumpled to the ground, tears rolling down my cheeks. All around me was white. Walls, floors, everything excapt the grains of sand that fell of my jeans.
" Here's your baby Maximum" I looked, my head spinning.
" Wha?" I asked, taking the bundle into my arms.
" A beautiful baby girl" The nurse smiled. I didn't look up at her face. I couldn't bring myself to it. When I finally did, I gasped, jumping back, the small baby disppearing into thin air. Just like the two Minimum's.
Fang's POV
We all sat there a minute, waiting for Max's chest to rise and fall, which was lacking at the moment.
" Why isn't she breathing?" Angel asked, now sounding on the verge of tears. I shrugged, holding my breath. Out of nowhere, Max sat up, eyes still closed. She held out her arms, like she was holding a baby. A smile spread across face. Within an instant, her smirk flew away, dissolving into a shocked facial expression. My eyes drifted to her chest which stood still. How is she not breathing?
" Im scared" Gazzy mumbled. Two words I never though would come from his mouth. Her arms dropped, still sitting upright.
" Max?" Nudge whispered loud enough for to hear if she was awake. Max's head turned to us and Angel screamed.
" Whats going on/" Ella asked, her voice small. Her and Nudge were backing away. I stepped away from the crowd. Creeping to her bedside. I got to my knees, my chest meeting the top of her chest. She still faced the flock with immense creepiness.
" Max?" I asked. Her head turned to my face, eyelids twitching. I pressed my Lips together. This was so weird. The reached her hand out, touching the end of my nose. She gasped jumping back.
" What is she doing?" Iggy asked, his voice a low whisper.
" We don't know" Gazzy whimpered. Max pulled her han to her chest looking down at it.
" Wake up Max!" Angel cried, tears scrambling down her face. Almost like Max was responding, she fell back onto the bed, as if she had been sleeping to whole time. I stood up slowly. She was awake. She was wide awake. She knew we were here. She knew where she was. She just couldn't see us.
[ I was gunna stop it there but I decided not to! I wanted to keep writing!]
Max's POV
I yanked my hand back. What had I just touched. To me it was nothingness, to my fingers, it was something smooth, skin-like feeling.
" Oh, God" I whispered, rubbing my hand.
" Whats she doing?' Iggy asked, his voice echoing around the whiteroom.
" Iggy!" I screamed! My voice bouncing off the walls.
" We don't know" Gazzy whispered, sounding scared. Im sorry Gazzy. Im not doing this willingly.
" Wake up Max!" Angel screamed, I jumped to my feet. I had enough. I want to meet my baby. I want to be awake. Things don't always work the way you want them to. The voice told me.
" Shut up!" I bellowed. This was my life, my time, and I wasn't giving it up for some stupid life lesson. I was Maximum Ride. I wasn't weak, delicate pregnant Max who broke down crying almost every day. I was Maximum Ride. The girl who break and Erasers ribs with one kick, fly at 200 MPH If I tried. The girl who was the leader of a flock who needed her. Desperately. Thats who I am.
" Wake up!" I shouted to myself, slapping me across the face. MY cheek stung, feeling tight. You have to try harder Max. Harder! How much harder is harder! I looked around, scanning the floor, my eyes meeting a stick. I slowly walked to it. The tip was covered with dried blood. The same exact stick Fang and I slit out wrists with. I picked it up, aiming it at my arm. The spot where my chip was. I could accomplish two things today.
Fang's POV
Her body bend into a weird position, her head still against the pillow, back arched. She flung her head up, hair falling in her face. The flock watched in silence. She reached towards me, slipping her hand into my front pocket.
" What the?" Gazzy asked. The flock shushed him and he back up against the wall. She pulled a stick out. The tip covered in our blood. Her chest remained still for an amazing 20 minutes so far, her eyes not even opening a millimeter. She aimed it at her arm. I was in too much shock to stop her. I wanted to see what she would do.
" Stop her!" Nudge shouted at the top of her lungs.
Max's POV
I plunged the sharp point into my skin, pressing harder, pushing the stick deeper. Blood trickled down my arm, There was no pain, only blood. It dripped the the stainless white floor, making little dots that resembled small red rubies. I smiled as I looked at them, the puddles getting bigger. Almost like someones grabbed my hand, I stopped pushing the stick. It yanked from my arm, a whole clump of blood now gushing out. My smile disappeared as my eyes fluttered open.
OHHKAY! Weird chapter there for ya! I don't know where it came from, I just randomly started typing. Your probably confused a lil. Lemme explain a few details. First off, Max isn't in LALA land. Its kinda hard to explain. Her body moved on the outside, in weird ways, but still mimicking the body that is dreaming. Does that make since? I hope it does. The two ittle Minimum's are one boy one girl. Also, when the nurse sais "heres your baby girl". Max dreampt that. Im not revealing the gender just yet! Yes, minimum was born early so she was a lil under developed so she could die DUN DUN DUN! wow this was a long lil comment from me. So if ya don't understand anything I didnt explain or did explain enough..Review! I wanna make sure you know whats going on in my crazy messed up brain!
