Hey guys!!! It's Friday night, I'm watching Dream Girls, and I am totally in the mood for the next chapter. This chapter is dedicated to lonely-Umbreon455. You are so amazing.

I got hired for my cousin's Birthday party on Sunday. I get to help a bunch of 7 and 8 year olds make cookies and a cake. As you may have realized, I usually update on Sunday, so this is the reason I'm updating on Friday. Ooh, this chapter is also dedicated to my brother. It's his birthday today, so happy birthday Matt!!! Okay... enough of my rambling that none of you want to hear. On with chapter 21!!!!!!!!!

I said, "I'm pretty tired, I think we should just head home." Fang grabbed my hand, and we made our way back home. We were about twenty feet from the front door, and Angel was running towards us, with Nudge and Gazzy hot on her trail. They were about ten feet away when one of the worst possible things happened. Jeb started talking to me, and I blacked out.

Chapter 21--Father/Daughter Quality Time

Fang's POV

Max was so happy. I know that I had a wonderful time, and I was pretty sure that Max was too. I could feel the vibes coming off of her in massive waves. Plus, when we got home, she had her own greeting committee. Angel was a few feet away from Max, and she just became week at the ankles and fell. Since I was still holding her hand, I caught her before she made it to the ground. I picked her up completely and took her inside. She had this sour look on her face. She was probably having some quality time with Jeb. Uh, can't he just leave her alone?!?!?! After all that she has been through, he can't give her a break???

I took Max upstairs, and put her onto the bed. She still had this sour look, but at least she isn't having convulsions like the last time. I don't know how long I was just sitting there next to her. I was just stroking her hair. I wasn't sure if I was calming her, but I didn't feel a need to stop.

All of the sudden, I heard the door click. I looked up, and the door was closed. I didn't even realize that the family was behind me, let alone the same room as me. I just need Max to wake up soon. I feel very on edge when she is like this. She can't defend herself, and I worry for her. It is very stressful for her. It's stressful for me too. I just want her to wake up soon...

Angel's POV

As soon as Max fell, Fang picked her up and carried her into their room. The whole family was behind him, and trying to get his attention for at least a second, but he was so zoned out. I even tried to reach him through his mind. He had so much going on through there that I even got lost. And it wasn't even my brain!!!

After a while of just watching Fang watch Max, we decided to leave and check up on them later. We left the room, Fang only looking up as the door closed, only then realized that we were in the room with him. It's going to be a long night...

Max's POV

I saw Angel coming to give me a hug, and in the next minute, all I saw was darkness.

Hello Max. Sorry to bother you, but you should be thankful of my timing.

Why should I be thankful? I was having a wonderful day, and you had to ruin it!

Max Max Max... I could have easily interrupted your date, but I am a nice father and I wait until you get back home.

If you were a nice father you would have just left me alone. I don't want to talk to you right now. Can I get back to reality now?

Not quite yet. I thought you would at least want to know about those dreams of yours.

No one is dying anytime soon. You just did that to me to scare me. You want me to leave my family. Well you know what? That is not happening. I did my job and saved the world. Why are you still talking to me?

You honestly have no patience! This wasn't meant to scare you. It was meant to show you how downhill your life has gotten.

What do you mean downhill? If anything, my life is wonderful and almost perfect! The one exception is you!

Max!!! Will you shut up for two seconds?!?!

I honestly don't know how to reply to that. I mean, I'm not really "talking" to you. It's all through thoughts.

I know that I have told you time and time again that I hate this language, but you leave me no choice. You are getting on my final nerve.

Ooh, I'm scared now! Fine. I'll let you give me your lecture. Just get it over with.

Max. You don't respect me anymore. I don't appreciate it. I am trying to give you advice, but you just keep pushing me away. Your life is going downhill. You were once the strong Maximum Ride. Now you depend on Fang, you aren't watching your back. There is no threat right now, but what if, later, there is a new threat? What if, in years to come, a new company will try to continue where Itex left off? My little slide show before was supposed to show you that your life is not the same. There will always be a new step in your life, and it will change the way you look at things and who you are. I have no daught that Fang will ask you to marry him. And you will say yes. Then what? You will rely on him even more. Then, you will want to start a family. You will concentrate less on your duties as Maximum Ride, and will care for your child. And very possibly children. Fang one day will die. Everyone does. You will, at that point, have relied on Fang so much that you will feel that you can't live without him. Then what? Do you see what I mean? You will loose sight of who you are.

Okay, first of all, I have a good reason for not respecting you anymore. You pretended that you were dead, and showed up on the opposite sides team. That makes you a traitor. I still am the strong Maximum Ride. I am just getting on with my life. I don't know how long I will live, since you guys didn't give us expiration dates. The only threat I see right now is you. If there is a threat, don't worry, I'm sure if I can do it once, I could do it again. I am flattered that you approve of Fang and myself, but honestly...you aren't in my life anymore. I don't care if you approve. I know what I was created to do. And I did my job. I actually do what I am supposed to do. You were supposed to be a father, and you didn't do your job. Fang will be a much better father than you every were. Believe me. If anything, it's good that I am letting out my stored emotion from the first days of torture. I am finally free. You should be happy for me and not trying to scare me into reality. Because you know what? You are the one who needs to come back to reality. I have moved on, why can't you?

Fine. If you won't listen to me, then I'll just give you a little advice. I will be checking up on you every once in a while. Two, before you destroyed Itex, they did some research and found that you guys will probably live to about 110. A little longer than an average human's lifespan. Three, it will only take seven months after you consive to have your child born. Good buy Max. I'll catch up with you soon. But don't worry, not too soon.

With that he was gone. I tried to reach him several times, but he never responded. Did I really need to know some of that information. I guess the 110 years thing it pretty nice. I know that I have time now, but, the whole seven month thing. That just freaked me out. How soon does he think I will have a child?

Slowly I realized that I was coming closer and closer to consciousness. Wow. I'll have another chat with Fang about how much of a perv my father is. At least I know that I won't hear from him for a while...Hopefully...

Hey guys. I do realize that it was a bit shorter than usual, but it's now Saturday, so I really need to get to sleep.

Oh yea. Sorry for the major spelling errors in the last chapter. My computer is dying, so I wrote in on the website on my mom's computer(laptop). And then, I forgot to do spell check. Yea. so that is basically what my writing would be like without spell check. : lol.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed, and I hope to get just as many plus more! Please review! It would make me very happy!!!

Good night/morning! Have a wonderful weekend!
