I got out the car and held the baby in the baby seat, this was the moment of truth I was about to meet Fangs mother and I wasn't exactly bearing the best gift in the world. I took a hesitant step towards the front door, well it's not like I could spring anything else on any one in my family right now.

I looked towards my family each as individuals instead of a whole.

Ella looked about ready to burst with anticipation as she watched from the front door it's weird because a couple of months ago I wouldn't have been caught dead thinking about any of them because I thought they were all against me.

My mum looked pleased to have most of her family back but my dads an asshole so I won't be waiting for him to show his face anytime soon. I truly am sorry for what I did to my family while I was way I thought they'd just carry on as normal because I wasn't that big apart of their life. Guess I was wrong.

Ari was busy playing his Psp to notice the change of emotion around everyone else, there's something wrong with him but I can't seem to place it.

I glanced over at Fang and smiled a little. " Well let's get this over with then." I sighed kind of feeling bad about bringing Fang into my twisted family life.

" Lead the way then." He said.

No time like the present I thought. Have you ever hyped yourself up for something so much that when the time comes your mind goes completely blank?

Ella squealed bringing me back from my slight panic.

" Awww. She's so cute." Ella spoke.

" Please keep your voice down she's fast asleep." I warned in a motherly tone. Never thought the world motherly would be used in my vocabulary.

" Sorry." She faked whispered.

" It's ok." I laughed and gave her a one handed hug.

It's weird I have no problem talking to my younger sister but when it comes to my mum she… well I don't really know but if you get what I mean it just seems as though something hasn't really clicked.

I let out a slow even breath. " Mum." I smiled still a little unsure of what to do.

She leaned over and hugged me and I gasped. See what I mean. I keep getting myself so worked up that I forget how to function. " I take it everything went ok since they let you out early?"

" Everything went to plan unlike the rest of my life." I laughed at my own joke how sad. I really need to get out more.

" Now Max." She warned.

" Chill it was a joke."

I watched as she became a little more relaxed at times like this you could tell my mother and I where related.

I waved at Ari and he nodded back. Nice to know I get acknowledged.

My mother took the baby from my hands and I felt almost empty, that was odd.

Fangs mother looked at me and smiled. " Hello Max. It's a pleasure to finally meet you after hearing so much."

" Only good things I hope." I laughed at the ironic part of that sentence meeting someone for the first time and meeting their grandchild at the same time at my age isn't exactly the best news in the world.

" Dear don't worry about it you have more important matters now." She laughed a very gently laugh it was like a mirror version of Fang.

" Thank-You." I smiled.

We sat in the lounge casually eating lunch but I could see a couple of people desperately wanting to ask questions.

Ella was practically jumping up and down in her seat.

" Ask the question Ella?" I said.

" What's her name?"

I wanted to laugh considering no one else had asked me that question and I thought that would be the first one.

" She is named Zoë Nikki Ride." I smiled. The name suits her perfectly.

I saw the look of surprise on Fang and his mums face. Fang and I had only ever talked first names but I thought her middle name was a good reminder for her and me that family was important. After all she was named after Grandmother. Nikki I had only ever heard Fang mention his mother's name a couple of time's and it just seemed to stick with me.

" Thank you." Fang whispered from beside me.

Maybe for once I'd done something right and it felt like a giant weight had been lifted off my shoulders. If only it could stay like this all the time, no more mishaps, no more unexpected surprises lurking around every corner.

I looked around the room and wondering how so much can change in a matter of months. And wondering if it had been my fault all along that the reason my parents worked so much was because of the way I pissed a round with my life so much.

The rest of the day was a blur. There was a lot of cooing over Zoë. She must have been passed around the living room a hundred times. So by the time the evening came she was hardly a hassle to put down.

Fang and I sat in my room watching Zoë sleep. It was one of the most amazing sights in the worlds like everything had finally slotted in to place and nothing was ever going to fall back out. And even if it were I was willing to fight for it to stop nothing would get in my way of a happy life.

I wanted this to work; Fang and I, my family, Zoë and I but most of all I wanted everything to work.

" I love you." Fang whispered just before I fell asleep.

" I love you to" I whispered not sure if I was meant to hear his last thoughts before going to bed.

A/N: Really, really, really sorry for not updating but I had eight exams to study for which meant little time for updates unless I'd already written them which I hadn't for this one. It's all over now though thank God and I passed all my exams with the highest grade possible.

Much to my parent's surprise. Now I have to get ready for my Highers my whole life just seems to be one big exam to be honest. Hoped you enjoyed this chapter. I thought the ending of this story was sweet. I might put an epilogue out next week. Please review and tell me what you think and how my writing can get better and also a big thanks to everyone who's reviewed and done my polls.
