Disclaimer: I own nothing, I just like playing with them a little bit.

A/n: I know it has been a long time since I wrote in this, and I'm sorry. I've neglected all of my fics for a while, and now its time to get back into them. I hope you enjoy this.

Chapter 4

As the gang headed towards Iggy's parents house Max looked over at Iggy. He looked scared and excited at one time. Max felt another pang of loss, even though no one had left yet, they undoubtedly would.

As they landed Iggy asked the gang for a description of the house. Nudge launched into and explanation. "It's a big white house, with a perfect garden and a white picket fence. There's a cute dog in the back garden, a post box at the end of the pathway. Are you ready to go in?"

Iggy took a deep breath. "Yeah let's get it over with."

They all walk up to the front door, albeit slowly. Everyone looked at the door then at Iggy, but it was Fang who reached his hand up and rapped the door with his knuckles. Startling everyone, they all looked up at him surprised. He just shrugged his shoulders.

After a moment or two an elderly lady opened the door and looked at the kids expectantly. "Hello? How can I help you?"

"Erm… my name is Iggy. And I know my parents used to live here, or maybe they still do. They gave me up for…. Adoption a long time ago, do you know who or where they are?"

The elderly lady looked at Iggy and for the first time spotted his white eyes. She sighed and invited them all in. Once they were in and sitting down the elderly lady asked them if they would like tea or biscuits. Nudge readily agreed as did Angel and Gasman. Fang and Max declined however, maybe from nerves or the fact that they were still from breakfast, Max didn't know which.

"Thank you." Everyone chorused once they had received the tea and biscuits.

"No problems dear. Iggy can I just ask you a question?"

"Sure go ahead." He replied while he was attached to Max's arm. She could feel him shaking but she knew it wasn't from fear, just anticipation.

"Now I don't want you to think that I am rude, but are you blind?" Max felt Iggy relax some.

"Yeah, yeah I am."

The old lady smiled sympathetically at the others. "I'm sorry dear. Well you came to hear about your family? Well let me think. I moved here around ten years ago. The house was just finished being re-built."

"Re-built? After what?" Iggy asked as he learned slightly forward.

"I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this. But the house was burnt to the ground about a few months before I moved in. Of course I had my kids with me then or I wouldn't have had such a big house. The young lady, who lived here, was in the house when it happened along with her 2 week old daughter. The father had left them, when he found out they were pregnant. Poor dear. The firemen came too late; they found the young woman and her daughter in the nursery upstairs. The young lady was trying to protect her daughter. They both died from smoke inhalation. I am so sorry my dear. I don't know if it was your mother, but if it was. I am sorry for your loss. I think that she and her daughter are buried at the cemetery down the road if that is any help to you."

Max felt Iggy slump and then he replied to the woman in a shaky voice. "Thank you for your help, even though it is not the good news I was hoping for, at least some questions have been put to rest. I don't want to intrude on you any longer. Thank you once again. Max?"

"Okay we'll go mate." Everyone got up at once, and thanked the lady again and left. Once they were out of the house Iggy asked to be taken to the cemetery. Just before leaving the lady had told them the young lady's name. They all went in search for the grave.

It took them only 10 minutes to find them. They were buried together.

"What does the gravestone say?" Iggy asked as they reached the stone. As Fang had been the one to find it.

Max took a deep breath "It says 'A beloved mother and daughter Sara Rowe 1970 – 1995 died at twenty five years old and a mother of two.' And then for the daughter 'A loved daughter and sister Brooke Rowe 23rd May to 6th June died at two weeks old and never meeting her older brother. May they both rest in peace and harmony.' Oh Iggy I'm so sorry, I know how much you wanted to have a sister."

Iggy was kneeling at his mother and sister's grave, tears falling down his face. "I did have a sister more than one; I have you, Nudge and Angel. I just wished I'd have met Brooke too."

They all stood they're just waiting for Iggy. No one wanted to rush him; no one wanted him to feel like he had to get over it already. He had found and lost his biological family all in one go. They knew how it must have felt. The gang knelt down beside him, and they enveloped him in a big hug, tears all around.

Max got up and came back a few minutes later with some flowers, there was a small flower shop across from the cemetery. She handed the flowers, which where roses, to Iggy. He kissed them and settled them in front of the gravestone. "I love you"

A/n: I hope you liked it. And again Im sorry for making you wait.
