Chapter 26- Meet the Family pt. 1

I woke up early, around 6:00, and made breakfast. I know, me, Maximum Ride, making breakfast. Well, I can make toast, thank you very much. And I know how to spread Nutella, so there. After eating my little breakfast, I walked to Cameron's room to find her just waking up. She opened her eyes and looked up at me, smiling. I smiled back at her and picked her up. I rocked her in my arms for a few minutes before I felt Cooper's arms wrap around my waist. I turned around to look at him and saw him smiling. I smiled back at him and kissed him quickly. I handed him Cammie and his had brushed hers. He gasped and I knew that something was happening to him like what had happened to me. He blinked at started to smile after a few seconds. "What did she show you?" I asked curiously.

"That's for me to know and for you to never find out" he replied, smirking. "Why don't you go call your mom and invite everyone over to meet Cam?" he suggested.

I nodded and grabbed my phone. "Hey mom, I just wanted to see if you all wanted to come visit Cameron? She wants to meet all of you!" I said once she picked up.

"Oh, honey, that's a great idea! But I have to tell you, there's some people here-" She started

"Mom, I don't care if you guys have visitors! They can come with if they want, it's no big deal." I replied.

"Okay, but I don't think that it's a good idea" she said, warily.

"Mom, nothing can ruin my mood right now. I just had a baby yesterday, and I want you all to come visit her. You, Ella, the flock, and your guests, everyone. No arguments! Okay?" I said.

"Alright Max, I'll leave now with everyone. See you in 5 minutes." she said before hanging up.

I smiled and walked back to Cooper and Cammie. "They should be here in 5. I guess mom had guests over, so they are coming too. Good thing the house is clean, but I'm still in pajamas" I said, just realizing that I hadn't changed.

"It's okay, I got her, you go change quick" he said.

I nodded and walked back to our room. I changed into a red tank top that Nudge bought for me, claiming that it made me look 'sexy' and a pair of black skinny jeans. My baby belly deteriorated extremely quickly, quicker than normal. I was almost back to normal. Accept for my...errm...chest area. Although, that happens when you have a baby. Speaking of which, I should feed her before they all get here. I walked into the room and fed Cammie quickly while Cooper got himself some breakfast. By the time I was done, I heard the doorbell ring. I got up with Cameron and opened the door. I was immediately bombarded by quiet squeals and hands reaching out to hold Cam. "Okay, everyone calm the pineapples down! This is Cameron, but we call her Cammie or Cam for short. Now, you can't all hold her at once, but you will surely all get a turn. Now, mom, take Cammie so I can hug everyone!" I said happily.

I hadn't seen my family in a while, so I had to hug everyone. They were all still bunched up at the door, so I couldn't see who the guests were. I handed Cam to my mom and she walked over to the couch and sat down with her. I found Nudge first and hugged her. "ZOMG! She's so cute Max! She's like the perfect combination of you and Cooper, so adorable! Does she have wings?" I nodded.

"They're brown with red speckles and red edges. They are so pretty" I answered.

She squealed and ran over to where my mom was on the couch with Cammie and Cooper.

Next was Zach, so I hugged him quickly as he followed Nudge. After Zach was Ella. "Oh my GOD! Max, you should have had a baby with him ages ago if you knew she would turn out that cute! Wait, never mind. I just realized what I said, NEVER MIND!" she yelled, skipping off the see Cameron.

"Max! Can I hold her at some point today?" Gazzy asked sweetly.

"Of course, silly!" I said, ruffling his hair.

He cheered and scurried off to the couch.

I was crushed into a hug by the twins as they both talked at once. "Okay, one at a time, I can't understand when you both talk at once" I said with a laugh.

"Oh, Max, she's so perfect! I'm so happy for you and Cooper!" Christine said.

"Yeah, what she said!" Claire said, heading over to the couch, towing her sister behind.

I watched them run off when I heard a deep, familiar voice behind me. "Yeah, what she said" it said, and I spun around.

Standing there were Fang and Dana. I gasped. "Oh my god, you scared the living crap out of me! What are you doing here!? Oh, hmmm, maybe that's what mom was trying to tell me..." I trailed off, saying the last part mostly to myself.

"Yeah, well, we were just passing by and figured we'd pay a visit and you mom said that you wanted her to bring the guests, so we came!" Dana said cheerily.

"Well, welcome I guess" I said.

Dana ran up and hugged me. "She's really cute, you know. And your really pretty, I understand why Fang had such a hard time getting over you, but boy am I glad he did" she whispered.

"Yeah, me too, your really pretty too, and you seem like a perfect person for him" I whispered back.

We pulled away and smiled at each other while Fang looked at us, confused. I waved him off and led them into the family room to the couch. I sat next to Cooper and my mom and smiled down at Cameron. My mom handed her to me and I scooped her up. "Hi there, you little goof-ball! Are you gonna show anyone your power today?" I whispered to her, loud enough so everyone could hear.

"ZOMG! She has a power already? What is it? Can she fly? Oh wait, thats what the wings are for, haha, silly me. Can we see her wings? I bet they're really pretty! How long are they? Oh, she probably hasn't spread them yet, duh! What was I thinking? I guess I wasn't! Oh well, I do that a lot. Have you guys ever notice-" she was cut off by Zach's hand over her mouth.

"Gosh, Nudge, your gonna scare her!" Ella joked as Nudge blushed.

"Yes, she does already have a power. I'm not telling you what it is, you'll see for yourself eventually. Anyway, yes, you can see her wings" I said, pulling back her blanket to show everyone.

They all gasped and Cammie giggled, which made almost everyone 'awwww'. Including me. And Cooper. And everyone other than Fang and my mom. Fang because he's Fang. My mom, I don't know why. Probably confusion at the giggling so early. She had a look of confusion on her face, so that must have been it. I handed her to Nudge and she held back a squeal.

"Hi, little Cammie! Oh my gosh, you have the prettiest eyes, when you grow up we can give you makeovers and make them pop, and then the boys will be all over you and we can dress you up and make you look all fancy shmancy, and we can..." she went on babbling for a few more minutes, no one bothering to, stop her because we were all mesmerized by Cammie and her giggling.

I laughed when I felt Cooper stiffen at the mention of boys being 'all over her'. He shot a playful glare at me and I smacked him lightly on the arm. He smiled and I grinned back. I laid down, my head on his lap and just watched everyone stare at Cameron. Cooper started to play with my hair and then his hands were replaced by smaller, nimbler ones. A bit too late, I realized that Ella had leaned over and started doing my hair. I shot up and glared at her "really? You won't stop at anything to do my hair will you?" I asked.

She just laughed. "Fine, go ahead." I said lazily.

She looked at me, shock and confusion coating her face. "Hey, I'm too worn out to argue. I just had a freaking baby yesterday!" I said, sitting in front of her as she started back up on my hair.

Cooper chuckled and I laughed lightly. "Gosh, what is happening to the world?!" he exclaimed dramatically.

"It's ending!" Nudge yelled, playing along.

"Come on, it's not that big of a deal! I'm just too tired to fight about her doing my hair." I said, slightly annoyed, but laughing anyway.

"Oh god! Not only is she too tired to fight, she's letting Ells do her hair! Why hasn't the world ended YET?" Gazzy said.

I got up and walked over to him. I sat down next to him and hugged him to me. "Oh, don't worry, it will end very very soon..." I growled jokingly.

He put on a face of mock fear before we both burst out laughing. Everyone joined in after a while except for Fang who just chuckled, which made Gazzy and I laugh even harder. I fell off of the couch and rolled around on the floor along with Ella and Gazzy. I'm not exactly sure why it was so funny, but it was. We laughed and laughed until it was abruptly stopped by Nudge's gasp. I looked up and realized that she had grabbed Cameron's hand. I smiled and looked at Cooper. He smiled back and nodded to show that he realized it too. A few seconds later, Nudge's head snapped up. "Wow, what was that?" she asked, mystified.
