OK, so I got the time zone wrong, of course. LOL! I said Pacific when I'm in Ohio and the time is Eastern haha! So yeah....I'm really excited to write this!! This is part of the super amazing plot I was talking about before....Hope you like it!!!!

Max POV

"Aiden?" I whispered. Fang stiffened.

"In the flash," he replied.

Oh. My. God. Why isn't he in the School?! How did he get in here? I am so confused and happy and weirded out, and....I just don't know what to say.

"At first I didn't know why you ran away from me in the store...." he continued.

Fang looked at me with an expression asking why I didn't tell him. I didn't want to worry him.

"Hurt my feelings a lot. But then, you've hurt my feelings much worse so it wasn't so bad."

I gulped.

"So I followed you back to here. The house I was born in. But since I scared you so much earlier, I didn't want to traumatize you. Funny how I care about you when you didn't give a shit about me."

"Aid-" I started, but he cut me off. He looks exactly like he did at the store.

"No, this is my time to talk. Since you never cared about how much I had to say when I was baby. All that crying for you..." he shook his head angrily. The guilt is overpowering me, yet again. I wonder if he knows how he even came to be. But if he did, would he forgive me for what I did? I sat up straighter, Fang too.

"You didn't listen to me. You ignored me, and left me with that bastard that I had to look at everyday up until now. The person I'm supposed to call Dad, refuse to." He took a deep breath. I have so many questions, but like he said, this is his time to talk since I wouldn't listen.

"You're probably wondering why I remember all this. But in case you forgot, I'm only five right now. And I look like a freaking 16 year old because you decided to mix DNA with that useless--" he took another deep breath. "I said I wasn't gonna talk about him..." he mumbled to himself.

"Anyways, you let him carry me out of this house, crying your name and didn't say anything other than,

'Your name is Aiden. I'm your Mom, Max. Don't forget me, got it?' And I just giggled, not knowing what about to happen. But I'll tell you something, Mom," he said harshly.

"I. Never. Forgot you.

"Ever. I thought about you every day knowing, just knowing that you would come back and get me. That you'd save me. And I got to look at these everyday--" he unfurled his wings, a cream color with light tan feathers peeking through "--to have as my own little piece of you. You were everything to me, until one day came and I knew you weren't coming back. You were gonna let me rot in that place. To get beaten everyday and get my stamina and resistance checked everyday, with only two people in the world who cared if I lived or died. Jeb and Ari."

My eyes widened. More confusion.

"When I got to the School, Jeb immediately took me into his care. Ari was right by his side. I kind of think of Ari as my hero...." He got this much happier look on his face. Like he was right there with Ari.

"He told me that he'd been through it all. Rejection from his parent, all the tests...he told me to just hang in there. He took care of me and my injuries when I got hurt. Him and Jeb were better parents than you and Omega."

I flinched but stayed cool. I wonder why Ari never told me he was taking such good care of Aiden. I asked for no more updates, that's why. Because it gave me more guilt. I was being selfish.

"Even though you hurt me more than anyone, any Eraser, and Flyboy, I didn't come here to throw my anger and my story at you. I came here to ask you questions. Like why you did it in the first place."

He looked at me pointedly.

"I had no choice." I answered simply, tears starting to come.

"Bullshit."

I looked up at him.

"No, I had no choice. Did he even tell you why you exist?"

"All he told me was that you were a whore and didn't want me."

I heard Fang take a deep breath and clench his hands.

"That's not true." I said firmly.

"How am I supposed to believe that? You're in bed with a guy right now!"

"No, no, no. He raped me. I didn't want to do anything with him but....he's so strong. The only reason I won that fight with him back in Germany was because I found his weakness and could kick his ass because of that. Who knows what they could have updated him with? He's like a brick wall. It was terrible. I didn't have a chance against him. He raped me, to make you. Once you were born, he was gonna come get you and take you to the School. I had no choice!"

I was crying now.

"You could have not given me to him."

"Trust me, we thought about that. We thought about going to save you, all of that. But we knew Omega could take us all out by himself if he tried. We had to let you go. And I'll tell you the truth, at first I was completely disgusted with you. You looked so much like HIM. It was like none of me was in you. But then, just as he took you away, I knew I shouldn't do it, and it was too late. I could have hid you....all different types of stuff. But I had just been raped, for goodness sake! I was terrified of him!"

He looked down, contemplating this. Fang wrapped an arm around me. Not the burned one.

"I guess I get where you're coming from...." he whispered.

"Do you?"

"I mean," he lowered his hand and lifted the entire bed. With us in it.

"look how strong I am. I can't imagine how strong he is."

I nodded. He sat us back down and sat on the corner of the bed, kind of far away from us. He put his thumb in his mouth. He's very smart and mature, but he's still five years old.

"Why did you name me?" he asked.

"Because I knew when you got to the School your name would be numbers and letters. Every kid deserves a real name."

He nodded. There was a slight pause. My tears had time to stop. He was thinking. Me too. Never did I think this would happen, but it did. All that time I was thinking about him, worrying. I knew he wouldn't be fine. But I never thought I see him again.

"Did you ever......love me?"

I laughed.

"Of course I loved you! Still do."

"Really?"

I nodded.

"Hm. Omega never loved me. I was always just an experiment. Even to him. The only parently thing he ever told me...." he stopped.

"What?" I asked.

He bit his lip.

"I don't wanna tell you."

"Please?"

He sighed.

"The last thing he told me before I left was....'I'm asking you this as your father. Go kill your mother.'"

Fang stiffened and clenched his hands again. I gasped.

"He told you that?"

"Yup."

"Are....are you gonna, you know, do it?"

He firmly shook his head no.

"I always knew my Dad was liar. But it's like, when he told that about you, how you were a whore and stuff? I only believed it because I had nothing to support the fact you weren't and you wanted me. I only had what he told me about you and what I remember. And what I remember wasn't too nice...."

I nodded.

"But now I know what you're really like and what really happened. And instead of killing you, I can kill him instead."

He got a bright smile on his face.

"I like this guy," Fang said.

"Um, you sure you wanna do that, Aiden? I mean..."

"You hate him don't you?"

"Yeah...."

"Well I do too. And from what I see, so does you're boyfriend here."

"Yeah, he does. And he's not my boyfriend. He's my husband and the awesome guy who would have been your father if you stayed."

".....oh......"

"So you wanna help me kill him?" Aiden asked Fang.

"I'm in."

"That may not be necessary," Jeb said walking in through the bedroom door. How are all these people getting in my house?! Do we need to bump up security....?

"I used my key, Max," he told me.

"Oh."

"Jeb!" Aiden got up and hugged him.

"Hello, Aiden. Get the answers you wanted?"

He nodded.

"Good. Now about Omega...."

"This dude's gonna help me kill him!" he said pointing to Fang.

"That's Fang. And like I said, that might not be necessary."

"Why not?"

"Because Omega's expiration date is coming up soon."

We all sighed in relief except Jeb.

"The only problem is....So is Aiden's."

"What?!" he said. Jeb nodded.

"The same day, for some reason. We can stop it, but we'd have to stop both. There's no way to stop one date and not the other when they're on the same day. But since Omega's not an Eraser like Ari was or a Human-Avian hybrid, he won't just turn into a human. He will actually die. Both of you."
