Chapter 9

*Max's POV*

I didn't give Ella any look when they left the house. I couldn't get myself to look at her after she said what her problem was. Well, I love her but I couldn't let her keep this from mom and for God's sake, IGGY! God, what am I going to do with her? Now I was the one being stressed with it. Always was.

I took a shower before going to bed. I was only wearing my white tanks and bluE underwear. Well, what to be embarrassed about when it's just you and your husband, right?

I stared at my phone, waiting for something, though I didn't know what. Maybe Ella's text or something. I bet Angel already knew because she sort of, developed another ability bonanza. She could see the future now. Well, some she couldn't see well. Like, some are blur and some so clear she almost thought they really happened.

Suddenly, I felt my neck prickle. I sighed.

"Will you stop doing that?"I snapped. Since I barfed so much a while ago because of the maple syrup and pancakes, I became really irritated with him. He was so annoying I didn't think I wanted to talk to him.

"Stop what?"He asked, already at my back almost silently and no sound. I was facing the bed side table and looking at the phone on it.

I rolled my eyes and didn't answer. I felt a sudden urge to punch him. Hello? Is barfing ever enjoying? No. Definitely not. I'm not gonna say, "Hey! It's wonderful when you barf! Try it!". I'm not some delusional bonkers to even want it. The familiar boil rose again. I cover my mouth my my hand and get up using the other hand for support. I closed my eyes and swallowed hardly.

"Max, are you mad?"Fang asked ever so calmly. "Look. I'm sorry. I just found it fascinating to tease you into some challenge."

I let out a breath and got up to get water. My body felt so jelly that my feet wobbled slightly as I went down the stairs. I felt nauseatic and dizzy. Maybe Fang gave me a goddamn expired maple syrup.

I got water from the fridge and poured a glass then went to the medicine cabinet for an aspirin.

I unfurled my wings and tilted my head back, enjoying the relaxing sensation of it. I rolled my shoulders and head. I felt so tired. So... Exhausted.

in the list of the qualified reasons of my death, poisoning didn't make the group. I'm not going to die because of food poisoning. never.

when I got back in bed, Fang was already asleep. I smiled and sighed. I'd been too bad to him, huh?

Aw, he's really gorgeous! I could imagine how our kids would look like someday. Like him. Silent, strong, and sweet. I loved every bit of him.

I crawled to the bed and laid down on my side. I rolled beside Fang and planted a kiss on his jaw. he half-smiled and let out a breath through his nose. He was leaning on the head board so he doesn't sleep on his wings.

"Head cleared already?"He asked softly.

I grinned and nodded while biting my lip. He leaned and kissed me slowly, the way I wanted him to. I buried my hands in his hair, quite tugging at it. He let out a soft moan and inhaled through his nose. We paused and I pulled his black shirt out of him and he did the same with my tank top. In a second, we kissed passionately again, almost banging our mouths together. I felt him move and I think he kicked his PJ's off. He pulled my undies down, not asking for my permission anymore. I pulled my wings tightly to my back as he began to lie me down on my back. Just as I felt him touch me, my phone rang, vibrating against the wooden table. I paused and pulled away, keeping myself from groaning.

I heaved a sigh and picked up the phone. It was Angel.

"Hello? Angel! Why are you calling in the middle of the night?"I snapped. I was currently in a state of bliss! Bad timing.

"Max! Thank God you answered!"She sighed in relief. Relief? For what? "What are you doing?"She asked.

I looked at Fang and felt my cheeks burn. "Sleeping. And you just interrupted."I lied.

"Good. I thought you did it."She said, making my eyebrows arch.

"Angel, what do you mean? What's happening?"I growled. She was keeping me up too long.

"Um... i don't know how to say this!"She hissed to somebody she was talking to.

"Just tell her don't have sex!"I heard Iggy hiss back. my jaw dropped and I widened my eyes. Why the heck are they talking about my sex life?!

"Iggy, I'm too young to say it! You go then!"

"Do you want me to die?!"

"HEY!"I bellowed, feeling like I don't have any privacy anymore. "What are you two talking about?! I heard it!"I fumed.

"um... Then I don't have to say it directly. Just don't, Max. It's... Uh..."Angel paused.

"What. Is. It?!"

Then she hung up, leaving me on air. I stared at the wall in front of me. I hit the bed table with the phone and dressed up, not minding Fang's shocked look. See here, if Angel says don't, you don't. As simple as that.

Ella's POV

I'm pregnant and I don't really know what to do. Mom would totally go into hysteria if she knew about this. And I haven't told Iggy about it yet! Ohmygod this is so bad. I need to get a solution for this. I couldn't be pregnant. I'm not yet married. Mom always warned me about having sex before marriage and god! She would definitely chew me out now!

I put a hand on my tummy where my soon to be son or daughter is. I sighed.

"Oh baby, mommy's having a very big problem."I whispered and felt something move inside me. "Whoa." I muttered and smiled. I'm two months pregnant now but my and Iggy's baby could already move. Maybe it's because Iggy was part bird and they matured pretty quickly. But i knew now that I wouldn't be laying an egg cause my baby moved.

It was already morning and I hesitated on getting up. My body felt so stiff and my stomach didn't feel good. My head was slightly spinning and my legs felt so tired like I walked for a long period of time. Then, I felt like throwing up. That was the one that took me out of the bed to the bathroom. I knelt on the floor across the toilet and vomited in it. I closed the lid and flushed it. I panted and swallowed, wiping beads of sweat on my temples.

"Ella?"

ohmygod. That voice added horror to my heart rate. My heart pounded like it wanna get out of my chest and my hands already started to sweat.

"Where are you?"Mom's footsteps were outside the bathroom door.

"B-bathroom!"I said in panic tone. I couldn't help it. What if Max already told her? Oh no. But would she really do it? I don't think so.

"Well, Iggy's here."

My baby budged inside me. I smiled. He knew who his daddy is! It's so sweet.

"Coming!"I called out. I looked at the mirror and combed my hair. After that, I brushed my teeth to remove morning breath(including the throw up scene) and to remove my morning glory.

I changed into sweatpants and tanks and stood in front of the tall mirror inside the room. I gasped and crammed for a tee. Ohmygod. There was a baby bump already! Of course! How could my baby move if he's not yet getting big? Ohhhh... They would be questioning why I'm wearing a tee on a summer day! But this is better than them having to see my bump.

"Hey igz."I called to let him know where I am. He stood up and walked to me.

"Hey Ella."He kissed me. I kissed him back and stayed there for a moment.

"What are you doing here? Who's with you?"I asked as I broke away. My baby budged again. I winced at the movement and just smiled as Iggy noticed it. I touched my tummy and rubbed it to calm my little budger.(If it works.)

"Angel's with me."He said.

My heart pounded at her name. Ohmygod. She could've read my mind. Of course she already had. I just hope Iggy doesn't know yet.

Then I heard a baby laughter. I paused and stared at the hallway infront of me. what was that? Am I hallucinating?

Iggy tugged at my hand. "Hey come on. Gazzy's there too."

I sighed in relief and let Iggy pull me to the living room. That could be Gazzy, right? I'm not yet insane.

Angel stood up as soon as she saw me. My heart pounded as she went near me.

"Hi Ange."I smiled nervously, knowing that she knew every single thing. She reached out a hand.

she smiled sweetly. "Can I touch him?"she said.

my eyes widened and I felt my jaw drop to the tiled floor. "Ohmygod Angel! No!"I snapped, giving her a warning look. 'They don't know it yet!' I thought to her and she nodded at me.

"What's going on?"Iggy called. I snapped my head to the kitchen and saw him and mom preparing breakfast.

"Nothing!"I yelled back And pulled Angel's arm to the bathroom near the stairs away frim everybody. "Listen, Angel, you can't let them know. "

She looked up at me in wonder. "Why not? They would be happy to know it." She replied

"no. You don't understand. you're stil young to understand these things but I can't tell Them. My mom will kill me and Iggy... He's... Not supposed to know."I whispered.

"Dr. Martinez is nice. She won't get mad. And Iggy, he would be very happy to know about it!"she hissed back.

I shook my head at her and sighed. "Please, Angel?"

She looked at me sympathetically and nodded reluctantly.

"Great!"I said. "Come on. Breakfast time."
