Chapter 12
After about thirty minutes we finally saw my mom's house in the distance.
"Race ya!" Gazzy yelled, already taking off.
"I'm gunna beat you!" Nudge yelled, chasing after him.
Iggy and Angel took off too, both of them laughing in excitement.
I looked over at Fang and smirked. He knew what I was thinking and grinned back.
"See you there." I said and shot towards my mom's house, using my super speed as an advantage.
Gazzy was cackling because he thought he was going to win, but as I passed him he yelled, "Max! No fair!"
I laughed and sped faster to my mom's front lawn. I came in a little fast and nearly fell, but I decided to show off instead. I tucked in my wings at the last second, and rolled onto the ground, then popped up on my feet. I turned around with my arms up in the air.
"I won!" I yelled, laughing.
Oh yeah, my wings were feeling better if you couldn't tell. Thanks to our speedy healing powers. And, of course, Doctor Fang.
Gazzy landed next, frowning at me but laughing also. "You cheated, doesn't count!" he accused a smile dancing on his face.
I grinned, "You never said we couldn't use our powers."
He closed his mouth and frowned, like he never thought of that. I laughed at his expression, just as Iggy landed, followed by Nudge.
Fang came in carrying Angel. He was holding onto her arms and she was dangling in the air, laughing like crazy. He dropped her above me, before landing by us.
I caught Angel, and laughed at her bewildered expression, before tickling her sides.
She giggled and gasped, "Okay Max! Haha! Stop! Please!"
I laughed and set her down, "Okay, only since you said please."
"Max?"
I turned around and saw Ella standing in the doorway, peering out into the yard.
"Ella!" Nudge and Angel squealed, and ran to hug her.
Her eyes went wide from surprise, but she hugged them back with just as much excitement.
When they finally released her, she ran to me and gave me a big hug.
"Oh my gosh, I have missed you so much!" she cried, a big smile planted on her face
"I've missed you too." I said, giving her a squeeze.
She let go of me to hug the guys.
Gazzy was hesitant at first (he's still at that age where he thinks girls have cuties), but eventually he complied and gave her a hug.
She hugged Iggy's tall frame, for a little while I'll say. He hugged her back, and to my great surprise, he stroked her hair gently.
Huh…
Next was Fang, she looked at him for a moment, weighing her options, but to her great surprise, he came over and gave her a one armed hug. Her face was priceless.
"Where's mom?" I asked Ella after she had gotten over the shock that Fang had hugged her.
"Oh, um, she's at work. She should be here in an hour."
I nodded.
"Where's Jeb?" Angel asked, her blue eyes looking up at Ella in curiosity.
Ella looked confused, "What do you mean? Jeb's not here."
She looked at me for an answer, but I was too confused by this whole thing.
"Jeb told me he'd be here." I told her, "But I guess we beat him."
Ella blinked, "Oh." She bit her lip for a moment before smiling, "Okay, let's go inside, mom made some cookies before she left this morning, so they're fresh."
The kids all rushed inside to eat some delicious cookies. Fang and Iggy walked in after them, they were talking to each other in low voices.
I put my arm over Ella's shoulders, and I felt her lean into me a little.
"I've missed you." I said, giving her a small squeeze.
"Me too." She said smiling up at me.
We walked inside like that together.
************************OMG! It's a line!!***************************************
After we had all settled down and gotten everything unpacked, we all watched a movie in the living room. I didn't really care about it. I just wanted mom to get home. I know that she was probably okay, but since those Erasers attacked so close to here, I was being cautious for hers and Ella's safety.
Finally, I heard the door open, and close. I heard her put her keys down on the table and then freeze.
"Ella?" It took all of my self control to not run out of the room and attack her with a hug.
"Yea mom?" Ella said, trying not to giggle. I put my finger to my lips, and she nodded.
She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and Iggy covered her other hand with his to prevent any chance of her laughing.
My mom couldn't see us since there is a wall blocking her view from the living room. She probably saw the dirty plates in the sink and was wondering why her daughter made such a mess.
"Did you have friends over?" I heard her shoes on the tile. The tapping sound was getting closer.
Ella moved Iggy's hand and spoke, "Um, yea, and they're spending the night if that's okay." She almost laughed, but Iggy quickly covered her mouth.
"How many?" Mom said her footsteps getting closer.
"Uh, six?"
"Six!" Mom walked around the corner, and I swear, she almost had a heart attack.
I stood up and walked over to her, "Hi mommy!" I said and opened my arms wide, like a little kid want a hug. I heard the Flock and Ella laugh.
"Max!" she gasped and gave me a big hug, "I didn't know you were coming."
"Yeah, sorry. That's my fault. We just wanted to come see you." I pulled back, "We can leave if you want."
Her expression turned shocked, "No!" She nearly yelled, "You're staying!"
I smiled at my mom's almost childish behavior. She was acting like a kid who was begging their parents to let their friend come over.
I let go of my mom so the rest of the Flock could hug her. Fang stood as stiff as a door, when she collected him in a hug. She laughed and pulled away.
He nodded and stepped back, looking uncomfortable.
"Um, mom," I said after we all had been hugged, "Do you know anything about Jeb coming over here?"
She blinked like she had just remembered something, "He had called yesterday."
My heart rate sped up. What does he want?
"He said that he might drop by to see how we're doing." She said, acting like it was nothing.
"Mom." Ella said, her voice nearly accusing, "How come you never told me?" Ella looked almost hurt.
Mom looked at Ella sympathetically, "Sorry, honey, it just slipped my mind I guess." She pushed Ella's hair away from her face.
"Do you know when he should be here?" I asked. I saw Fang take a step closer to me.
"Um, he should've been here already." She said glancing at the wall clock, "I'm going to go make dinner. Iggy do you want to help?" she asked politely.
Iggy got up from where he went back to sitting after his hug, "Sure." He said and maneuvered his way over to her.
"Um, I'll come too." Ella suddenly said. She quickly glanced at Iggy and then at the floor.
Iggy shrugged and gave a little smile, "Okay."
The two of them followed by mom walked into the kitchen.
"Angel, come on let's finish the movie." Nudge said, pulling Angel towards the TV.
"Okay," she said happily, "Come on Gaz."
They all sat back down, and within five minutes their eyes were glued to the Television. Fang looked between them and me, before making up his mind, and sat down in the big arm chair, watching it with them, with a bored expression. I smiled and was about to walk over to watch too, when the doorbell rang.
Fang's eyes immediately went to mine. I nodded.
Daddy's home.
Ok, so now you know! It's an IggyxElla thing. I just couldn't do Iggy and Nudge. I think of them as brother and sister. So, sorry to all of you who like Iggy Nudge pairings, this story isn't going to have it. I hope you liked this chapter. I know it's probably a bit cheesy and stuff, but it was the only thing I could think of. Please review! Pretty pretty pretty pretty please!!
Thanks!
