Disclaim it- I don't own Maximum ride or the flock...but own the future kids for sure ;P

Alexa POV:

I followed Mom down the stairs and happened to collide with Ash at the bottom.

"Ow," I groaned and backed away from him, "watch where you're goin' twin"

Ash rubbed his shoulder and rolled his eyes before grabbing me under the elbow and attempting to draw me up the stairs with him.

Uh Ash, I just came from up here so why would I want to go back? I need to ask Aunt Angel something.

Later, he sent me, still hauling me up the steps. I finally conceded and began to be willing go up, making Ash let me go. We reached the top and he led me into my room.

"Why my room? Why not yours?" I asked as he closed the door.

"It's closer and your bed's bigger," he stated, sprawling out on my double bed like he owned it.

"You know, if we weren't brother and sister, that statement could have sounded very wrong," I pointed out, lying down beside him.

"If we were southern..." he started and I punched him in the arm.

"Don't even go there," I threatened and he laughed. "So, why are we having another twin therapy session?"

Ash rolled his eyes and flipped over to his side to look at me. "What's up with Mom?"

I sighed and sat up so I was sitting Indian style. Ash stayed on his side. "Not much, grandma's gonna perform this major surgery on her where if she makes one wrong move both our brother and Mom could die. And it has to be soon. Like, in the couple days."

I set my hands in my lap and clenched my fingers together.

"It's a brother huh..." Ash mumbled, and I hit him with one of my pillows.

"What?" he exclaimed, throwing his arms up for protection.

"Of all things I just said that's what you care about?" I asked. He shrugged. After a second of silence, he sighed and rolled up into a sitting position.

"That's not all I care about and you know it," he said seriously. I shrugged now.

"We could lose our Mom Ash." I sniffled. I suddenly felt my twin's arm around my shoulders and a wave of something between comfort and calmness flow through me. I laid my head on his shoulder. "Thanks, twin."

"Anytime Lex. Anytime," he murmured. We stayed like that for a couple minutes when someone knocked on my door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Your favorite Uncle," Uncle Iggy's voice called. Both Ash and I chuckled.

"Come in." The door swung open to show Uncle Iggy and Alle. Alle squealed and ran up to my bed before hopping on it and bouncing into my lap.

"Hey, Alle" I said and pecked her cheek. She giggled.

"Aunt Max told daddy to come check on you and Ash and I wanted to come too so I did!" she pronounced happily with a huge grin.

"It's true, your mom sent me to snoop," my uncle proclaimed. I laughed and got off my bed.

"Well, we're coming down," I said and walked out of my room with everyone else behind me.

"Finally decide to come down?" Blade said when I got downstairs. I rubbed my hand through his hair, making it even more messy.

"Hey! I combed it this morning!" he argued. I snorted.

"Really, I couldn't tell."

"Ahh, bite me," he said, heading toward Dad. I grinned.

I walked around the corner and into the living room. Everyone was crowded in there. Well, except for Uncle Gazzy and Aunt Nudge.

"Alex! Alex!" Zach yelled, loping towards me.

"What?" I asked.

"Uncle Iggy thinks he fixed the Time Traveler! We're about the send the past flock back!" he answered. I smirked and turned to mock glare at my Uncle.

"You couldn't say that while we were all up there?"

He shrugged, "You didn't ask," he stated and went over to Mel, who was fiddling with that cursed cylinder that started this mess. Or at least half of it...

Suddenly, hands covered my eyes and I let out a small yelp. The person behind me giggled.

"Guess who!" Aunt Angel asked.

"Um...Blade," I teased.

"HEY, I HEARD THAT!" Blade yelled from across the room. The hands came off my eyes and I turned slightly to face my aunt.

"You were meant to!" I yelled back at Blade, then smiled when he stuck his tongue out at me.

"Immature," I mouthed and he laughed.

"So," Aunt Angel said, putting her arm around my shoulders, "What did you want to ask me?"

"You really shouldn't invade people's mind that way," I said and she smirked.

"You're my niece so I have special rights. But that's not important right now! What did you want to know?"

My eyes rolled. "Do you know if Grandma and Mom have already planned when the surgery's happening?" Aunt Angel glanced to her right for a second before looking back at me.

I really don't see the point in telling you because you would find out eventually,she thought to me.

But?...I asked, smirking.

Aunt Angel smiled and shrugged. But I love to spoil things so I'll tell you anyway. It's happening the day after tomorrow.

I felt my eyes widen. So soon?

The sooner the better for them both, Aunt Angel added. She patted my shoulder before skipping over to where the past flock was standing.

Aren't you a little old to skip? I asked.

Aunt Angel turned for a split second to glare at me before continuing toward the past flock.

"Whatever," I murmured to myself and walked over to where Mom, Dad, Uncle Iggy, Mel, and Blade were.

"So we're ready?" I heard Mom say as I approached.

"Ready for what?" I asked.

"To get rid of you," Blade said with a straight face. I punched him in the arm. Gosh, I'm punching a lot of stupid brothers.

"That was mean," Mel said, and I nodded, "but funny" she finished. I glared at her.

"Okay you three, enough," Dad interrupted.

"We're about to send the past flock back," Mom pointed out. "Okay," I replied.

"So, Everyone!" Mom yelled and immediately had everyone's attention, "head out to the deck!"

We all shuffled out to the deck and Mom rounded the past flock into one small circle. Uncle Iggy and Ash would go with them to make sure the coordinations (do you mean coordinates?) were right.

"It was awesome meeting you guys!" Mel said, waving.

"Yeah, what she said," I threw in.

"Bye," Mom and Dad said together while Skylar and Alle both ran up to give hugs to Angel and Nudge quick hugs.

"Bye guys! See you in our futures!" Nudge yelled.

"Okay, ready," Uncle Iggy said and everyone tensed. "3...2...1..."

ANNNNNNDDDDDD...

Nothing.

We all stared at each other until I broke the awkward silence.

"Well that was a bust...who wants ice cream?"
