Nudge POV

"OMG! Ella, this skirt would be totes adorbes on you!" I squeal, holding up a cute purple skirt.

"That's so cute! Let me go try it on!" She said, taking it and running off.

"I don't get it, all the other skirts look just like that one, what makes that one any different?" Zach asked.

"Oh. My. God. What is wrong with you?! All these skirts look different! Like, this one totally shows off the color of my eyes, but this one would just make me look hideous!" I squealed.

"Nudge, nothing would make you look hideous. You're the most beautiful girl if ever met, no skirt is ever going to change that" Zach said sweetly.

"Awwwww! You're so sweet Zach! I love you so much!" I yelped, hugging him tight.

"Love you too, baby" he said back.

I got up on my tippy toes to kiss him until I saw Iggy's face behind Zach. I shrunk back down and pretended to cough weakly. "Sorry. I had to cough..." I lied.

Zach nodded but looked skeptical. "Ummm, I'll be right back. Why don't you go watch Gaz, he looks like he's about to blow something up" I said quickly.

He ran over to Gazzy and I grabbed Iggy by the arm. I pulled him out of the store and walked far enough away so that Zach wouldn't see or hear us. "Okay, seriously. What's your problem!?" I yelled at him.

He looked down at me, sadness coating his features. "I love you, I can't take hearing you say that to someone else." He whispered solemnly.

I sighed. "Iggy, I love you too, but just as a brother, a best friend. I'm sorry but I'm not going to break it off with Zach just to make you happy. I'm sorry, I really am, but if you love me like you say you do then cant you just let me be happy? Please?" I said weakly.

He nodded. "I'm sorry Nudge. I didn't really look at it that way before, but all I really do want is for you to be happy. I'll respect you and Zach more from now on" he sounded broken.

I sighed. "Ig, thank you" I said and kissed him on the cheek.

"COUGH COUGH!" I heard someone yell behind me.

I screamed and spun around. "Holy crap Max! What the heck?!"

She just laughed. "Nudgey!" Cameron squealed. "Iggy!"

I walked over and gave Cam a kiss on the cheek. "Hi there! How did you get your mommy to the mall?"

"I wanted to come see you all and see how it's going with Zach but I guess not too well..." She trailed off, glancing at Iggy.

"No, no, no I was just trying to get him to leave Zach and I alone and he said he would so I kissed him on the cheek as a nice gesture but I guess I shouldn't have because Zach and I are fine please don't tell him I don't want him to think I don't love him because I really do. I love him so much, I just couldn't deal with Iggy making face every time I say it and stuff I just wanted it to stop! I'm sorry don't tell him, please Max?" I begged.

"Zachy" Cammie said, looking over my shoulder.

I turned around slowly to see him standing there with Cooper. He was smiling at me. "You know I trust you. It's all good" he said.

I smiled big and ran at him. I hugged him tight and kissed him quickly. "Love you!"

"Love ya too, Nudge" Zach said.

Max POV

"Yeah yeah yeah you love each other fun yeah now where is my sister?" I asked.

"Here, follow me!" Nudge said and skipped off.

Cooper and Zach went off and Iggy came with me to follow Nudge. We walked into a nearby store and found them. "Max!" Ella yelled and ran over to hug me.

"Hey Ells. Cammie and I have to tell you guys something" I said.

The twins came over to listen too. "Okay, Cam came up with the perfect name for this little guy" I said, pointing to my stomach.

"Luke!" Cammie squealed, pointing as well.

The store almost exploded from the squeals. "Oh my god! Cam named him? That's so cute!" I heard.

I nodded. Well, just wanted to let you guys know. I'm off to go find Cooper. See ya!" I called, walking out of the store.

I walked around for a few minutes before seeing him. Making out with another girl. I walked over and stood with Cammie in on arm and my open hand on my hip. I cleared my throat. "Excuse me miss, but could you please stop shoving your tongue down my husbands throat in front of his wife and daughter" I said sweetly.

She turned around and Cooper collapsed on the ground, panting like she hasn't let him breathe. She probably hasn't. "Why should I believe you?" The girl sneered.

"Well, just look. She has my hair, his eyes, has a mixture of our features, it's simple." I said, referring to Cam.

The girl rolled her eyes and stormed off. I gave her the bird as she did and walked over to Cooper. "Get up. Lets go." I said and walked past him to the car.

He ran after me and we got into the car in silence. About halfway through the ride home he spoke. "She attacked me, I couldn't get away." He said warily.

"I know, I trust you. It just put me in a bad mood" I grumbled.

He nodded and went back to driving in silence. Once we were home I put Cam in her room for a nap and tossed myself down on the couch for my own nap. I slept for a few hours and woke up to Cammie screaming. Not crying, screaming. I jumped up and ran to her room. She saw me and stopped screaming but she was shaking. "Cooper!" I called, picking Cammie up.

No answer. I ran around the house with Cam shaking in my arms and couldn't find him anywhere. The car wasn't out front so I couldn't get to my moms house. I couldn't fly, and there was no car to take. I whipped out my phone and called my mom. "Mom, something's up with Cam. She woke up screaming and now she's shaking and she's really hot" I said, feeling her forehead.

"I'll be there in 2 minutes, honey. Don't worry just get her inside and try to calm her down." She told me and hung up.

I ran inside and grabbed one of her favorite teddy bears and sat down with her on the couch. I tried to get her to play but she just shook and whimpered. I sang her a lullaby and she stopped shaking but she was still whining. "Cammie, honey, calm down for mommy. Please. I'm worried about you and daddy isn't here to help. Please just be nice for mommy and be okay" I said to her.

She looked up at me and started crying. It was soundless, I just saw tears run down her face. I started crying with her and that's how my mom found us, sitting there crying together. By then Cam had started shaking again. "Mom, help" I cried weakly.

She nodded and grabbed Cam. "I'll go with her into her room. Why don't you go into your room and try to calm down. If she sees you upset then she won't stop crying. Okay?" She asked.

I nodded and walked into the bedroom. I sat on the bed and tried not to think about Cam being sick or hurt. After a few minutes I heard the door open and I ran out to see who it was. "Mom, how's she doing?" I called as I walked around the corner.

"She has a fever and she's still shaking. She stopped crying though!" My mom called back.

I saw Cooper standing at the door with chocolate and flowers looking confused. "Where the heck were you?!" I asked forcefully.

"I went to get these for you. You said the mall thing put you in a bad mood so I wanted to make you feel better. I didn't want to wake you up." He said.

I nodded. "Cam got sick." I said.

He ran to the kitchen to set the stuff down and then went to Cam's room. I followed and saw my mom putting her thermometer away into her purse. "She should be fine soon, it's just a fever. I gave her some medicine and got her to sleep." Sure enough Cammie was fast asleep, still shaking a bit.

"Thanks mom." I said and hugged her quick.

"No problem. But honey, that's gonna happen sometimes, don't freak out about it so much. Just call me up and I'll be here. Okay?" I nodded. "Good. Well, I've got to get back home. Bye guys" she said and walked out the door.

Cooper and I walked out of Cam's room and I sit the door silently. " I'm going back to sleep." I mumbled. Cooper nodded and I walked into our bedroom. I flopped down on the bed and shut my eyes. A few minutes later Cooper came in and joined me. "Night baby" he whispered and put an arm around me.

I felt comfortable enough with him here to fall asleep so I gave in to the darkness and drifted off.
