Okay, so, this is over a long period of time. Five years to be exact. Max is pregnant with Milo. I'm listing everyone's situation and age so here goes: Max and Fang are 25 and expecting Milo in four months. Mandy is six and Lucas is five. Iggy is 25 and Ella is 23. They married when Iggy was 21 and Ella was 19. They had twins named Jessie and Devin one year ago. Dr. M and Jeb are still old- kind of- and Johnny is 7. Nudge and Kyle are 23 and 25. Nikki is eight and they had a boy name Tyler who is 2. Angel is 16 and she is dating a human named Ryan. They've been dating for 5 years- he's a couple months older. Gazzy is 19 and has been dating Michelle- 18- since he was 13, she was 12. They are now engaged. Jane and Toby got married three days before Maxine and Gregory were born- a set of twins. They are each six. Steve and Nina started dating after a while a married two years back. Nina is pregnant. S.O.T.W. are still going on but they are on hiatus since all the babies are coming in.

Long enough explanation? No, I think it could be longer. And I'll make. I'm sorry if this chapter might seem bad or stupid but, see, I just got my vaccinations today and I'm drugged because of the pain. I had 6-7 shots and I'm hurting so I'm trying to move as little as possible. I'm hurting myself for you guys. Lol. Here's the chapter:

"Mom," Mandy called, running into the room. She got up on the bed carefully so she wouldn't jostle me. "Did he kick at all?" Mandy loves it when Milo kicks me because she loves to put her hand to my belly.

I smiled at her and nodded as she cuddled to my side. Lucas ran in. He came up to the side of the bed and I rustled his dark brown hair. Mandy was playing with her highlights again. It always intrigued her that they were natural. Lucas was looking at my stomach. I was five or six months along so I was showing- a lot.

Fang was in the other room, giving Angel The Talk since she was at that age. Milo kicked me in the kidney.

I hissed in a breath while Mandy placed her hand on my belly and Lucas' eyes lit up. His power was to speak through minds, just like Angel. Only his was more powerful but he couldn't control others. He could also change shape.

"I wonder what he'll look like." Mandy mused, rubbing my belly with her small hand.

"Like this," Lucas said- he had a lisp. He changed form to show Milo's appearance. He had been digging in my mind to see. That's another thing- he understands privacy and, when he needs information, he can slip past certain thoughts to find a certain one- whether it's hidden or an open thought, he can find it. Back to the story, he looked like Fang as a little kid but with some of my features- exactly what Milo looks like at 5. He looked like himself, actually but more like Fang when he was a kid.

Fang walked in and stopped, looking confused. "Either that's Milo from the future…or that's Lucas." He ended with a smile. "Let's see your power at work to escape the tickle monster!" He ran at Lucas and Lucas shrieked of happiness, returning to the way he normally looks.

We had taken Lucas to a doctor a year earlier than what I saw so we could save him faster. He went with the surgery and he's still alive. Fang picked Lucas up and spun him around- he's been more playful than I've ever seen him.

"Mommy, how are babies made?" Mandy asked.

"Uh," I couldn't answer that. I looked at Fang.

"Um-"

"A mommy and daddy's love for one another creates the baby." Lucas responded for us. "I saw the answer is Daddy's head."

Fang put Lucas on the floor carefully. "Why don't you two go play with your cousins?"

They ran out of the room and down the hall. This house used to be so quiet but now there's cries and squeals of little children.

"You're not as moody as you were with Mandy and Lucas." Fang noted, sitting next to me.

I nodded. "Yeah. I'm glad because those mood swings always made me exhausted."

Nudge and Kyle share a room, Iggy and Ella share a room with a crib for Devin and Jessie, Mom and Jeb have a room, Gazzy has a room that he shares with his fiancé, Michelle. Angel shares a room with Nikki and Mandy while Johnny and Lucas share a room with Tyler.

A tired mother came into my room and collapsed onto my bed, tired as hell.

I chuckled. "Hey, sis." I said.

She grunted. "I didn't realize that having twins would be different than having one kid."

"Ella, you're so naïve." I laughed. "How you holding up with the wing factor?"

"She's doing great." Michelle walked in and gave a glass of water to Ella who sat up. "Every time one of her babies try to fly away, she gets them back in her arms before they fall."

I heard giggling and looked at the doorway. "Lucas, stop flying in the house!"

I heard a tiny thump. "Sorry," he apologized.

I chuckled. The doorbell rang and Fang teleported all of us downstairs. I went to the door and opened it. Jane and Toby stood there with Nina and Steve behind them. Maxine and Gregory jumped out of their parents' arms and ran inside, looking for Lucas, Nikki, Johnny, and Mandy.

They all came inside. Ever since we've gone on hiatus, they've been coming over almost every day that way they could help everyone.

Jane and I sat on the couch, Nina in the chair beside the couch. "I still can't believe you named her Maxine."

"Why not? You were a big influence in my life- you delivered her since our care broke down on the way to the hospital. And Max is a cool name." Jane put her hand on mine. "You need to stop your disbelief and believe it."

I smiled. They also made me Godmother and Fang the Godfather of both their kids since we have kids and nothing really ever happens to us. "Well, Happy 4th of July!" I hugged her over my big belly and then hugged Nina.

We were having a 4th of July party at our house- well, more like a big dinner since everyone is always here.

Mom came out of the basement.

"What were you doing in there?" I asked warily, standing up.

"I cleaned. It was really dusty since you guys haven't recorded down there in a while." She left for the kitchen.

"You guys are finally on good terms again." Nina observed happily.

Every time Mom heard marry or engagement, she would get Mother's Cold feet- whether it was about someone in the Flock or someone outside the Flock. She even freaked when she heard Ella was pregnant, Nudge was pregnant again, and I was too. She just can't handle letting her little baby birds out of the nest to fly- pun not intended.

Iggy came downstairs with Jessie and Devin hanging on him. "Help me out! I don't want to drop them!"

Iggy couldn't get a good hold on his kids so Fang went over and helped him out, laughing the entire time.

He sat next to us, Jessie in his lap and Devin playing patty cake with Iggy's knee.

"Tired?" I guessed.

He nodded and smiled. "It's worth the exhaustion."

"Always is." I rubbed my hand on my belly right when Milo kicked me. "Either he'll play soccer when he's older or will be into karate."

Mandy and Lucas ran up to me with smiles on their faces.

"What do you guys desperately want this week?" Every time they gave me those smiles, they wanted something.

"I wanna play drums-"

"And I wanna play guitar!" Mandy sounded happy. Lucas sounded hopeful.

"Really?"

They nodded. "yeah, I wanna learn how to play guitar because Mommy knows how." Mandy said, sitting on my knee.

"And I want to play drums so I can jam with Uncle Stain!" Lucas stated.

"No doubt he'll beat me." Steve walked in. "I'll teach him if you want."

"And you can teach me, Mommy!" Mandy put her hands together and did the Bambi eyes.

I'm going to have to talk to Angel and Nudge about teaching my kids how to do that. "Fine but you can't give up right away- you have to stick through it."

They cheered, happy, and hugged me.

Mandy and Lucas ran off. "We can make a band with Mommy and Daddy!" Mandy cheered.

Fang laughed as he sat next to me- we have a big couch. "Cherish these years…when they're older, they won't want anything to do with us."

I looked at him. "Actually, they will. They really do want to be in a band with us." I laughed.

Fang rested his head against mine.

I heard a shriek from a little kid and we all jolted up. Nikki ran down the stairs. She was crying.

Nudge picked her up. "What's wrong?"

"Luke collapsed!" She sobbed.

Fang ran to the kitchen and I ran upstairs with everyone else.

I couldn't find him. Fang ran up next to me. He held Lucas's meds in his hand. Lucas needs meds for at least a year after his surgery so his system could return to normal. "Where is he?" he asked.

"I don't know! Where are you, Lucas!? Nikki!" I turned to her. She looked at me sadly. "Where is he?!"
