A/n: I think there are going to be around 10ish chapters, I'm not certain yet though. Thanks for all of the great reviews, I love them all. I am going on holiday from the 10th September until the 17th and probably won't be able to get on until then, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the next chapter. Sorry.

Chapter 2

Nudge lands behind the same bush that she had before. The woman she had seen before wasn't outside her mobile home this time, but a T.V could be seen from the window.

"Which one is it?" Max asked

"Number 4625, the one on the end" replied Nudge with a shaky voice.

Nudge just stands there looking at the door, unable to move towards her parents place. What if they didn't like her? What if they didn't remember? What if they see her wings and freak out?

"Nudge, it will be fine. We will all be here for you, if anything happens that you don't like, we will take off straight away ok? We won't let anything bad to happen to you." Max said as she put her arms around Nudge's shoulders and started to guide her to number 4625. She could feel Nudge shaking and knew that if she were in the same situation, that she would be doing the same. The others would all be in the same place at some point over the next few days, she wasn't. She wasn't sure if she was relieved that she didn't have to go through all of this, or be upset about it?

Nudge raised her hand and knocked the door three times. "Yeah, hold on." Then the door opened, the same woman from before opened the door, only now she had long curly locks flowing down mid back. She didn't have a cigarette in her hand nor was she drinking. She just looked at the kids, "Yeah?"

They all looked at Nudge but she was just staring at the lady with her eyes open wide. Unable to speak, after a few seconds of silence Max spoke.

"Where sorry to just turn up like this, and we expect it to be a great shock for you. There isn't really anyway to say it, but just to come out with it. Eleven years ago did you give birth to a girl you called Monique but was told she died?"

The woman just looked at all of the kids and then to Nudge "Who are you?" Nudge put her hand out for the woman to shake it and said with a braver voice than she must have felt.

"I'm Monique."

The woman just stared at Nudge; no one moved or talked for a while, just wondering what the woman was going say and hoping that she would be the one to break the silence. However Angel turned out to be the one to talk first.

"She remembers the name, she remembers the child and she also remembers the long years it took to get over her child's death."

All eyes turned to Angel and then back to the woman. She jumped forward and hugged Nudge.

"My baby girl. My sweet baby girl. I thought I had lost you." The woman said. Nudge was now crying. The flock left them to their privacy and were careful not to listen in on their conversation. However they stayed in sight so that they would know straightaway if anything was wrong.

After a while Nudge and her mother disappeared into the mobile home. The flock waited with baited breath. They all knew that Nudge would fly out in an instant if anything was wrong. They waited and talked amongst themselves for twenty or so minutes before Nudge came out to greet them. Just before she reached them she turned and waved, they could see her mother waving back.

"I did it, I found my mum and she's great. I showed her my wings." There was a collective gasp amongst the group. Nudge shook her head. "She said that it was her fault for letting him manipulate her so easily but loves me no matter what."

Max looked out at the passing traffic, she knew this would happen, she knew that once Nudge and the rest met their parents they would want to live with them, but it never hurt quite expected it to hurt as much as this.

"I told her I'd visit as soon as you lot had met your parents too."

Max looked up to see Nudge smiling at her. "Like I would miss seeing everyone's parents and making sure that everyone is ok."

Everyone hugged her and waved to her mum. They walked back behind the bushes where they had landed and took off. The next leg of the journey? Washington D.C, Iggy's parents.

The flock flew together, like it was meant to be, but Max knew that sooner or later, the flock would just be her. She couldn't shake the feeling that one person leaving would hurt more than the rest, but she refused to believe it. She loved everyone the same and they knew it.

But your love for him is a different love, right, Max?

Damn, the voice was back.
