A/N This is six months later. There was nothing exciting to fill-in the gaps, so I just skipped six months. I just was going to let you know so you weren't so confused

I stood up and handed my teacher my final.
The last finals of the day.

He nodded and I walked out of the classroom.

I walked outside of the building, and I took a deep breath.
"Hey!" Iggy called. I walked over to him, and he smiled. "How'd ya do?"
"I think I did okay," I said honestly.

He smiled. "Are you excited about meeting her parents?"
I sighed. "Kinda, but also no. Ally and Seth both told me if their parents don't like me, then they won't let her date me anymore, even though she is in college."

He winced. "You better make a good impression. But, Sam told me it was going to be all her aunts, uncles, cousins, and her grandparents on her dad's side on Thanksgiving, and then the Sunday after will be her aunt, uncle, cousins, and grandparents on her mom's side."
I nodded. "Yeah. She said on one side of her family she has seven cousins, three aunts, three uncles, and of course, two grandparents, and on her other side, she has three cousins, one aunt, one uncle, and her grandparents. Oh yeah. Her great aunt and uncle are going to be there too."
He patted my shoulder. "You have fun. We're going to miss you at our house."
"She said her family always makes way too much, even more than she would be able to eat in one meal. But, I'm still going to not eat like I normally do," I admitted.

It was getting cold. I could already see my breath in the air.

Well, yeah, it was November.

And right now, it was snowing.

"Anyways, I've got to get ready to go," I said as I stood up. "See ya."
Iggy nodded. "Where are you two going for Christmas?"
"Probably my family," I said after thinking.

We were inseparable. If one of us went somewhere, the other went too.

"Cool." We hit knuckles. "See ya Hydro."
"See ya Psycho," I said before walking towards the apartment.

I walked in, and I saw Seth. He was laying on the couch.
"You nervous?" he asked with a grin.
I shrugged. "A little. Sam said there's nothing to worry about, but you and Ally both say I should be very worried."

"You should," he said while nodding.

I groaned. "That's what I was afraid of."
Little update. We now considered Sam, Ally, and Seth a part of our Flock. Oh yeah. Ella too. She'll have wings soon.
Her and Iggy are engaged. As soon as he gets out of college, they're going to get married. She's going to go to college, but he'll live with her.
Everyone in the Flock, except Ella, have the exact same powers. Yeah. Even the anger thing.
None of us have gone full out like Gazzy, but our eyes start changing when we get mad, or our skin.
In mine, Sam, and Nudge's case, our hair is already black. And Nudge already has darker skin.

I grabbed my last duffel bag, and I put it in Ally's car.

Sam walked out of her, Max, and Ally's apartment.
Oh yeah. Seth, me, and Iggy shared an apartment, and Max, Ally, and Sam shared one.

Right next door.

She ran up to me. "You ready?"
I nodded. "I love you."
She kissed me. "I love you too. It's freezing!"

I smiled. "Babe, you have like five layers of shirts on. Three shirts, a sweatshirt, and a jacket. I would give you mine, but you look like a marshmallow, and I don't think it'll fit."
She smiled. "Fine. Hold me then."

I wrapped my arms around her and smiled. "Now that I can do." I kissed her nose, and it was freezing.

It was red.

I pulled her closer, and she kissed me.
"Your lips are warm," she informed me.
I smiled. "I can warm you up."
"Okay," she said eagerly. She kissed me, and I started kissing her neck.

"Any better?" I murmured against her skin.

"Yes," she whispered. I kissed her lips again, and I pulled a toboggan out of my back pocket. I put it on her head, and over her ears.

She smiled. "Magic man."
"Maybe," I teased. I pulled out a pair of gloves, and I put them on her hands.

"Oh my gosh, thank you!" she exclaimed. She walked behind me and she jumped on my back.

Ally and Seth walked out of each apartment and they looked at us.

"That's so weird," Sam whispered in my ear.

Her breath was so warm.

"Your breath is warm," I whispered back.
She kissed my ear. "Better?" she lightly bit it, and I smiled.
"Yep," I said happily.

"You two are in love," Ally said as she got in the front seat.

Max ran out and she put her bag in the trunk.

"You ready?" I asked Max.

She nodded. "Yep. Sam, you're the smallest, so you are in the middle."
"Aw!" I exclaimed. "I wanted to be in the middle!"
Sam kissed my ear again. "Too bad. You're too fat." She jumped off my back and grinned.
"Excuse me?" I asked before crossing my arms.
She looked so cute in her dark brown suede and fur hat, matching jacket, and matching boots.

She smiled. "That's sweet."
"And you called me fat," I said before opening the door. "After you."
"Thank you," she said happily. She slid to the middle, and I sat beside her. I shut the door, and I looked forward.

Everyone had on their aw faces, except Sam.

She was looking as scared as me.

"Help me," I whispered.
"Not the faces," she whispered back.

"You two are so adorable together!" Ally exclaimed. "I mean, Seth and Max look cute together, but you two look perfect together. You think alike, and you don't care about the PDA rule."
"Screw the PDA rule," Sam muttered.
"Exactly!" Ally said loudly. "My point proven."
"I have to say I agree," Max said.

"Of course you do," Sam said.
"Yall are going to make me blush," I said, mimicking Sam.

Gazzy had taught me how to do it.
She hit my arm. "Shut up. That's mean."
"You have to cutest southern accent, and you didn't exactly live in the south," I said happily.
She smiled. "Thanks."
"You still called me fat," I said with a frown.
She kissed me quickly. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay," I said happily.

"So cute!" Ally exclaimed again.

Sam rolled her eyes. "Ha."
"All I know is, I'm scared to even hold your hand in front of your parents," I said honestly.

"That's smart," Ally said.

"She's the baby," Seth reminded me. "Now, me and Max can have PDA and them not get mad. They don't care who me and Ally date. Well, within reason. But, they're going to love Max. Now, you, it's going to be extremely hard for them to even like you."
I groaned. "I'm scared."
"Don't be," Sam said softly. "Guys, stop. You're gonna scare him off."
"I'm not going anywhere," I assured her.
She smiled. "That's good. I kinda like you."
"Kinda like me?" I asked, pretending to be hurt.
"Okay. That's good. I love you very much," she corrected.
"That's better," I said before kissing her.

"Let them get all of their PDA out now," Ally said.

"Any sudden movement, and you are toast," Seth warned.

I pulled back from Sam and sighed. "It was nice knowing you."
She shook her head. "Don't listen to them. It's not that bad. Trust me." She kissed me softly.

I nodded. "Okay." She kissed me again.
"We're just trying to prepare you," Ally said innocently.

"The PDA thing, yeah," Sam said as she pulled back. "They don't like seeing their "baby" showing any PDA."
I shrugged. "Fine with me."
She kissed me. "I figured it would be."
"Will he be able to go that long without kissing her?" Max teased. "To me, it looks like he can't even go ten seconds!"
I slowly lifted my hand and I shot her the bird. I didn't pull back from Sam.

She smiled against my lips but then kept kissing me.

"They might start getting frisky soon," Ally teased.

Sam slowly pulled back. "Maybe this will shut them up," she whispered.

I kissed her softly. "Maybe."

"Not even five!" Max exclaimed.

Sam sighed and laid her head on my shoulder.

'I love you,' she told me mentally.

I kissed her forehead. 'I love you too.'

We got to the airport, and I carried Sam's duffel bag most of the way.

When we got to where they had to be searched, she took it from me.

"You're too sweet," she said with a smile.
"Is that possible?" I asked as I put my bag on the conveyer belt. It went through the X-ray machine, and they handed it back to me. I put all my metal stuff in the bowl, and I stepped through.
Sam did the same, and once we got all our metal stuff, I grabbed both bags.

"Yeah. It's called you!" she exclaimed. She tried to get her bag, but I wouldn't let her.

"Sam," I said softly. "It's fine."
She frowned, and we walked over to everyone else.
"Of course," Ally said when she saw me. I grinned, and Sam frowned.

"He won't let me carry it!" she said sadly.

I sighed. "Sam, if you really want to, fine. But it's seriously okay," I said softly.

She pulled it from my arm while it was still vulnerable, and she kissed my cheek. "Thank you!"

"Why are you so happy about me giving you your bag back?" I asked curiously.

She hugged my arm, and we all started walking towards the gate where we would board our plane.

"Because, it bothers me how you do all this stuff for me, and I never get the chance to do it for you," she admitted.

"I don't do it because I want something in return," I said honestly. "I do it because I love you."
She smiled up at me. "You're perfect."
I scoffed. "Let's not get crazy here."
"You're every girl's dream guy," she said happily. "But you want me. Why?"
"Because I love you," I said. We saw our gate, and the five of us walked onto the plane.

I don't even know what the other three were saying, and, to be honest, I really didn't care. Not trying to be mean, but, I was more interested in the beautiful girl hugging my arm.

We had apparently gotten first class tickets. Her parents gave them to us.

We sat in our seats, me and Sam alone in the back row, Max, Seth, and Ally in the row in front of us.

"Why do you love me?" she insisted.

I sighed and looked at her. "Because. You're sweet, funny, beautiful, caring, smart, and, well, there are other reasons, but those are the top five."
She hugged my arm. "Sorry I'm being difficult."
I kissed the top of her head. "It's okay baby. I still love you."
