Max POV.
I woke up in our little woodsy area, cuddled closely to Fang.
"Good morning, beautiful." Fang breathed into my ear.
"Hey." I smiled up at him.
"Two months and three weeks now." I smiled brightly. I got up and rubbed my stomach.
"Can't wait." I told him. I wasn't big at all. Maybe a little bit bigger.
"I found this website…" Fang said, grabbing the laptop out of his back pack "It's called ."
"But we already have a name." I said, pouting.
"I know, but what if it's a girl? And plus, there's this thing at the bottom of the page that shows you this baby and all the weeks and stuff."
"I thought it was pretty cool so maybe you'd want to check it out." He handed me the laptop, its screen painted in pink.
"Hmmm, I like Tara…or Elianna." I looked up at Fang hopefully.
"Hm…Tara Ride…I like it." I smiled at him. "Check this out, that's how big it is. And that's how it looks."
He showed me a little shrimp thing with a spine, hands and feet.
"Whoa." I said, spinning it around to see it all. "That's…that's what's inside me?" I said, stunned. He smiled and nodded.
"Hey, Miu means beautiful feathers." I laughed. He looked on the laptop and rolled his eyes.
"C'mon, let's wake everyone up." He winked at me and helped me up.
--
We woke everyone up and Iggy made breakfast. I missed his cooking.
"Kay…I have pancakes and glasses of milk." Iggy said, motioning everyone over to the fire.
Nudge came over to Iggy and sat next to him, I sat next to Angel, and across from me were Fang and Gazzy.
"Zephyr means west winds!" I exclaimed and Fang choked on his milk.
Gazzy patted Fang on the back as he had a coughing spasm and everyone was laughing.
"Shut-ehumm-shut up!" He said, laughing too.
Nudge POV.
We just lazed around the whole day. Just watching the day go by.
Soon, everyone was asleep and I took first watch. Ig decided he would do the listening part.
"So…I-uh was wondering…" I watched as Ig nervously sorted his thoughts.
"Yes?" I said, patiently.
"When we check into a hotel again, do you still…I mean I still want to…?" He trailed off again. Uh…duh I want to.
"Of course." I said, smiling sweetly. He nodded.
I suddenly felt how awkward this silence was gonna be. So instead of just sitting there, I inched closer to him and laid my head on his shoulder.
He 'looked' over and kissed my hair. I sighed, content.
We sat like that for awhile, until I decided I wasn't comfortable with only a small portion of us touching.
I got up and he turned his head toward me, concern spreading over his features.
"What's wrong?" His voice sounded smooth. I didn't know where it came from but I pretended I didn't hear him.
I tiptoed over to Max and Fang, her fingers entwined with his, his other hand wrapped around her waste, hugging her to his chest.
I smiled at the cute scene. I tapped Fang's shoulder and he woke up, staring at me with an expression I couldn't understand.
"Me and Ig are really tired. Could you take over the watch?" I looked at him meaningfully.
He quickly nodded and put a finger to his lips and looked at Max.
"I'll just do the watch right here." He said his lips scarcely moving and his words barely audible.
I grinned at him thankfully and walked back to Iggy.
"Lets sleep." I breathed into Iggy's ear. I grabbed his hand, but he twisted me around so I was in front of him and held both of my hands.
"Fun, sleep." He said dully.
"Only fun when it's with you." He smirked at me as we lay down under a tree.
"I'm so glad your back." I said, turning so we were face to face. "I don't know how I lived that long without you. Thinking I'd never see you again."
"Well, here I am. Soak it up cause I could just disappear again." He grinned at me. But I had a horrified expression. I was glad that he was blind right then.
He furrowed his brows at the silence.
"Something wrong?" He asked me quietly. I shook my head and I think he felt the hair flailing around so he nodded.
I leaned up and kissed him. He moved so that I was almost under him and his face was above mine when we broke apart.
I smiled at him and brought his hand up to feel the smile.
Iggy smiled back. When we were settled back, I breathed into his ear,
"I love you."
"I love you too." He said. I happily snuggled my head into his chest, inhaling his scent.
I smiled again as I drifted into unconsciousness.
Fang POV.
I watched as Iggy and Nudge fell asleep and then watched the darkness around me.
Nudge had put out the fire and now there was nothing except silhouettes of bird kids and trees around me.
I squinted, straining to see through the darkness.
"But…no. I-no." Max mumbled in her sleep. I smiled and listened intently to the small words she mumbled, trying to piece them together.
"El. HAHAHAHA! NO! CLO-" I put my hand on her mouth before she could scream anymore.
"Shhh, Max. You're gonna wake up the Flock." I laughed into her ear. I could see a smile lighten her face.
"Fang." She whispered, still asleep.
"Hmm?"
"You're my love-err." She said. I laughed quietly.
"Yes, I know this." I said, trying not to laugh.
"But I looooooooove you!" she yelled. I put my hand on her mouth again.
Iggy laughed aloud.
"Wha-?" Nudge said, sleepily.
"Shhh, listen." I whispered.
"Ouch. Flying! Fang?" I laughed hard, trying to keep quiet.
"WH-what?"
"What's that sound?" She said, suddenly serious. She woke startled and sat up, looking around.
"What sound, Max?"
"SHHH!" She said, staring blankly at me.
Then, several things happened quickly.
There was a loud humming sound behind me. Like a chainsaw.
A tree fell over onto Iggy and Nudge. Me and Max ran over to them, but then Max screamed and she was in the air, carried by something.
"Max!" I yelled, opening my wings then bulleting toward Max.
"Fang!" She yelled back, squirming in the flyboys grip. I beat my wings harder an harder with each flap. But I wasn't getting anywhere.
I just now realized that something was tugging my foot. A chain, connected to the tree that fell on Nudge and Iggy.
I screamed in rage, then closed my wings and raced back to the tree.
"You guys okay?" I yelled.
"Were okay." I heard Nudge say. I started tugging at the chain but it wouldn't come lose.
I tugged harder, bark pieces flying everywhere.
"Fang? What's happening?" I heard Gazzy's voice, sounding terrified.
"I'll explain later!" I yelled at Gazzy. I tugged and tugged at the chain. It was loose.
I opened my wings again and flew as fast as I could, feeling the chain break loose.
When I was in the air, I looked around. No Max in sight. Her screaming echoed in my head.
"DAMMIT!" I screamed.
I slowly flew back to the ground.
I'm so stupid. So slow. What am I gonna do? What are they gonna do to her?
I thought, as I touched back down. Everyone was looking at me worried.
"They got her-." My voice broke.
