(MAX POV)
"hey max, wake up, I want to show you something!" fang said said shaking me hard awake. "fang, what time is it!" I yelled rubbing my eyes. "its eight in the morning, but I have something to show you get up!" he yelled, yanking my arm and sitting me in an upright position.
"what the hell do you want?" I asked. He picked me up and carried me to shadow's room and set me down in the rocking chair near his bed. "look! Look! He's trying to stand!" fang said pointing excitedly at shadow, who was indeed trying to stand, holding on to the bars of his crib, and lifting up, but failing, then he would try again.
"go get the video camera!" I screamed happily at fang, he did so and came back in a flash. We started rolling tape just as he stood, gripping the bars. "oh my god fang he did it!" I said. "yeah he did!" he replied happily, still rolling the film and kissing my head. "i love you fang." I said, grabbing his arm and resting my head on his shoulder.
"love you too." he smiled at me. "mama!" shadow said. "yes baby?" I cooed. "mama!" he smiled. "your so cute." I smiled. "dada!" fang smiled too and kissed his son on his head. I heard amoura waking in the next room. "ill go get her." I kissed fang and shadow kept rolling and walking in his crib. I went to amoura's room to find her rolling around in her crib and making gurgling noises.
"hey baby." I cooed. "ggggggggrrrrrrgrgggg!" she giggled. "ya wanna see daddy and shadow?" I asked. "brraggah." she said. "okay lets go." I said. I found fang cooing at shadow for being suck a good boy. I walked up to him and kissed him. "hey baby girl." he greeted taking amoura into his arms and handing me the video camera. The house phone rang so I got up to get it.
I walked into he living room and picked it up, pausing the video.
"max, I said something to ella today, and now she locked herself in the bathroom, and I can't pick the lock, I can hear her crying, please help me!" iggy said.
"what did you say?"
"i told her that the baby felt like it had grown, and that I wish I could see her stomach, and how I bet it looked big. And that I was happy she was carrying my baby. What did I do wrong!"
"you just need to wait for her to stop crying, then tell her that since you can't see her, that it means you fell in love with her for who she is. And that you bet she's beautiful all the same, and that you wish you could see her."
"really? That will work?"
"yea, its just the pregnancy hormones, you just need to remind her how pretty she is, and that she means the world to you."
"k thanks max, bye!"
"bye"
I went back up the stairs and looked in the tiny crack open if shadow's door. "let me tell you guys a story." fang said, holding amoura and shadow in one arm each and grinning. I held up the camera and pressed record.
"your mom, was born in a un- fair place, and from the moment I met her, well I would have never believed anybody not even angel if they told me that I would want to marry max and have kids." fang said, slightly chuckling.
"your mom is the best leader in the entire world, she would always keep us safe when jeb left, she was the best leader in the world. Any time anybody would get hurt, she would take it out on herself so I became the person who listened to her problems. I only thought that max was beautiful and a wonderful leader. But, one day, her half brother Ari shot me on the beach, and max thought I was dying so she kissed me, and from then on I realized that I loved her.
"But when I kissed her a few months later, just to verify my feelings for her, she kissed me back, it felt so good and I realized that I loved her so much. And after I kissed her I held her and I couldn't stop smiling. Then all of a sudden she stood up and ran off, so I watched her leave, I was confused and hurt, that happened about two more times, but another few months later I kissed her on the beach and she kissed me back, and when we finished she didn't fly away, she just stayed there, and that was one of the best days of my life. And then max got pregnant with you."
fang said looking pointedly at shadow. "and I freaked out, big time, but when max got really happy about it, I tried to see it her way, and when we got an ultra sound, I knew I loved you too." fang said kissing shadow's head.
"and when you were born I knew that I wouldn't never let anybody hurt you ever, and the same thing with you ama." he said, looking sweetly at amoura. "i loved you too. And if anything were to happen to you guys. I would kill the person who did it to you." he said solemnly. Shadow saw me through the door, shit! "mama!" shadow cried.
Fang looked up at the door and saw me. "max!" he shouted. He got up and set the kids in the crib. I set the camera down on the floor and ran down the stairs. I heard his footsteps trailing behind me. I ran towards the couch, but fang caught me and threw me on the couch, he jumped on me and held my arms above my head and held my legs down with his.
"how much of that did you hear!" he yelled. I giggled. "all of it, and it was sooooo sweet!" I said in a girly voice and started laughing. "stop laughing at me! I spoke from the heart and now your laughing at me!" he yelled.
"im not laughing at you, I'm laughing at your reaction! I thought what you said sweet, but you were chasing me and I couldn't help but laugh!" I explained giggling. He smiled. "you did?" he asked. "of course, it was so cute, and sweet and I love that you were talking to the babies."
I said grinning. He kissed me and lowered his hands from my wrists, resting them on my thy's. I slid my hands down to his hair and tugged. He groaned. I pulled away so we could breathe.
"i love you max." he panted. "i love you too fang, lets go get ready for lunch with mom." I said. He nodded and got off me. he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers, then we headed upstairs to get ready.
(FANG POV)
we were at Dr. M's house, my family was meeting us here today too. They really wanted to see the baby. "so max, fang, what do you plan to do?" jeb asked. "what do you mean?" max asked, rocking amoura from side to side. I smiled and instinctively kissed the top of max's head.
"well, you have no jobs, and you have only been living off the money that you earned from the organization, and soon your going to run low. You need to get a job."h said looking at both of us. I looked at max from the corner of my eye, she looked sad, jeb had made her sad.
"and who are you to tell us how to live our lives? I'm so sorry that we don't know how to properly live when were not on the run or in a dog crate, my bad jeb, I must have missed the lesson that day at the school!" I said, angered that he came in here and suddenly decided to try and take over here!
"well, I'm only trying to help, I mean look at yourselves! You got my daughter pregnant at 18!"he shouted back, this time max looked even more saddened. "be that as it may, god only knows how long we might live so we might as well start a family now before we die!" I yelled. He looked shocked that I would yell that loud, and say such a thing.
Shadow started crying and I instinctively looked down and held him closer to me. he felt my emotions and frowned, but stayed quiet. i frowned myself and put shadow on the floor, he crawled around and I stood up, I looked at max.
I'm coming back, don't worry, I'm not leaving you, id never leave you again, I promise I just need some air. I explained. She nodded. I walked to the door, of course nobody besides max, and probably angel had heard what I said. "what the hell do you think your doing! Walking out on my daughter!"
jeb stormed towards me and raised a fist, then he stopped moving, and just stayed there like somebody pressed a pause button. We all looked in astonishment. "oh. my. God." angel said. "what is it!" max asked. The flock, ella, Dr. M, and my family gathered around angel.
"amoura saw that fang was about to get hurt so she paused jeb." angel explained. "baby girl, I'm ok, you can unfreeze him now." I said, looking at amoura. We were all in the living room, and I was back in the love seat next to max. holding shadow once more.
"daddy?" he said. "yeah." I replied. "daddy!" he giggled. I rolled my eyes and kissed his head. "amoura, unfreeze jeb. Its ok sweetheart, were gonna be alright." max said. Amoura looked at jeb with her dark brown eyes and finally, jeb swung at the door, you could hear the bones in his hand break.
"ow! Fucker!" jeb said. "jeb! Don't swear in front of my children!" max chided. He looked at us and glared. "how did you get over there?" he said thro gritted teeth. We explained what amoura could do whilst max's mom was taping up jeb's broken hand.
"that's amazing. We might have to take them in for testing, non of the recombinant DNA specimens have pro- created before! And I'm sure if they did it wouldn't have such a booming result!" jeb said happily. "you test on my children and I will kick your ass!" max screamed.
"and once she's done ill kill you!" I screamed. He smiled. "fang, max, choose your battles." he said. Bastard. "im off, have a nice day Valencia, enjoy your delinquent." he said glaring at us. Then Dr. M did something I never imagined her doing. Ever. EVER!
She kneed him in the balls, hard, then she grabbed him by his shirt collar and pulled him upright, and jammed her fist into his face. Breaking his nose. "get out of my hose!" she said. He walked out and we all looked at her astonished.
"way to go mom!" max said. Dr. M smiled and sat down. "lets just have a good evening" she said, smoothing her skirt down as she sat.
(MAX POV)
Ashley had pulled us into the kitchen just when the entire big joined family of ours (minus jeb of course) had started playing charades. Thank god I had an excuse to get out of there, it was now 8:30 at night and shadow and ama were asleep.
"so, fang, um, can I ask you something?" Ashley said. "yeah sure what?" fang asked. "you love me right?" she said, looking at him hopefully, like you would look up at an older sibling.
"cuz your my big brother, and mom isn't that much of a role model I'm afraid to say, and I know this really isn't a good time to be asking this, and you might say no, and that's okay, but I was just wondering before I asked you this, if you and max love me?" she said looking at us both now.
"i love you." I said. "me too." fang said. "good, cuz mom hasn't been in her right state of mind after dad died, there are some things that you haven't heard about our father." she said. "im a fighter, and so is rick, the reason we are is because our father used to abuse us, big time.
The day he died was no accident. We came home after school one day, rick opened the door to our big house in California, where dad did his work. We made a fare amount of money. But not too much. Anyways, rick opened the door, and we heard mom and dad arguing in the kitchen about something.
We peeked in and saw dad grab a knife and scratch mom's arm, rick ran in and and started fighting him, but dad to him across the chest. I grabbed a candle stick and bashed him on the head. Me and rick always worked out, we wanted to be strong, so one day, when it got to out of hand like it had been then, we could win. Dad stood up and went at me with the knife, he cut across my stomach."
she lifted up her shirt a little to reveal a large cut, starting from her hip bone and ending at the top of her ribs. "thats when rick grabbed a knife and drove it into dad's heart. He died and we called an ambulance for mom, she had nearly bled to death on the floor.
We looked into the next room and found out that he had killed our youngest sibling, he wasn't even named yet, he was only two weeks old. After that we moved to arizona with our aunt, then rick met ciarra and they moved out not to far away from us.
And now the problem with mom is that she wont let me date, afraid that I might meet someone like dad, but I need to be with my boyfriend, he has some problems with his family and I need to be there for him more than ever, and with mom being up my ass about it, I cant do that, so I was wondering if you would let me live with you guys." Ashley finished.
"what kind of problems is your boyfriend having?" fang asked. "his parents might be getting a divorce. And it going hard for him, because its his fault, he told his mom that his dad was having an affair and from then on they have been having issues and now there getting a divorce." she said. "he blames himdelf btu I know it isn't his fault, he did the right thing and I just want him to know that, and I cant keep him sane and happy if mom is being a crotchity bitch at all times." ashely finished.
"i don't mind, as long as you help out with the kids." I said. "what school do you go to?" I asked. "new visionaries." she replied. "okay, well, you might have to drive there yourself, I may not know much about school, but I know that you have to wake up at like, 5 in the morning, and no freaking way am I doing that, so you can drive there." I said.
"cool, so I can move in?" she asked. I looked at fang, he nodded. "yeah, sure, you can move in tomorrow." I said. "thanks!" she said, hugging both of us and running into the living room. "how is your mom going to take this?" I asked him. "i don't know, I barley know her, but I do know that I love her, and I hope she can trust again." fang said. I smiled and kissed his jaw.
"WHAT!" I heard from the living room, she told her mom didn't she. Me and fang walked out hand in hand. "im moving in tomorrow. I thought I would let you know now, so you wouldn't be so surprised tomorrow." Ashley replied. "who the hell do you two think you are? And and why are you letting her leave me like this? What- wha- how- what- whats?" she kept stuttering.
"come on vanessa, lets go get some fresh air..." mom said, taking her outside to sit on the front porch. "im so glad you finally got out of there Ashley. Now maybe you can help Ryan cope with it a little better." angel said. "yeah, your guys are a cute couple, I hope he gets better and knows it isn't his fault soon." nudge commented.
"thanks guys." Ashley said, sitting in the middle of them and they started talking away about ryan, ashley's boyfriend. Nudge, angel and ashley were such good friends. "so, ow is your stomach ella?" I asked the 3 month pregnant girl sitting in iggy's lap on the armchair.
"good, mom says that in like reality or whatever I'm really like 6 or 7 months pregnant." she replied, "and she started kicking!" ella said.
"cool! I'm so happy for you!" I said rubbing my half sisters stomach. I felt a kick and smiled. "iggy feel!" ella said. Grabbing her fiance's hand and putting it on the spot. He smiled and kissed ella's hand. "love you." he said.
"you too!" she giggled. "dada!" shadow cried, waking up from the nap he was taking in the play pen. "what baby?" fang said. "up!" he said. Fang picked up shadow and rocked him from side to side. "i love you baby."
fang whispered to his son. "i ov you!" shadow said clapping his hands together and giggling. "max did you hear him!" fang said excitedly "yeah I did!" I said. Walking over and sitting with fang on the love seat. " love you" I said. "i ov you!" shadow said. We all giggled and started cooling him.
(FANG POV)
I was about to give shadow his pacifier, when I dropped it, it was about to fall on his face when it stopped mid air. We all looked at amoura, but she was asleep in the play pen. "he can make a force field around himself." angel said. "oh my baby!" max said happily. I picked the binki up off the force field.
I touched the air around my baby and found that he had let the field down, so I put the binki in his mouth and he fell asleep. "wow, that was pretty cool" I said. "yeah, so kidding." max said. "well, maybe we should go, Ashley, why don't we get home now, you can sleep in the guest bedroom, and tomorrow we can clean it out and let you pain it and being in your stuff. Okay?" max asked.
"cool thanks!" she said, skipping outside. "bye guys, love you!" max said hugging everyone, amoura in her right arm. "bye max!" everyone coursed. "bye guys!" I said.
"buy fang!" "bye mr. lovey dovey princess!" iggy said. Douche. "bye mr. cries after sex." I replied closing the door as his mouth made an "o" shape. I put shadow in the car seat as max did with ama. Ashley sat in between them as we drove home.
(ASHLEY POV)
we got home, to my new home. I would surely like it better here. This way I could give ryan the support he needed. We walked up the steps and into the living room. "ashley why don't you go get set up in the guest bedroom, you can borrow some of my pajamas." max said.
"okay thanks." I said. I brushed my teeth in the joint bathroom, and pulled my long black hair into a pony tail, the one thing that separated me from my mother and brothers was that I had glowing green eyes like my father. My hair was flowing just beneath my ass, I liked it long.
There was a knock at the door. "come in!" I yelled. Max came in and handed me some shorts and a black tank top. "thanks max!" I said. "your welcome! See ya in the morning. Fang makes amazing pancakes." she said. "okay, thanks again max." I said, "its no big deal." she said closing my door.
I would paint this room a deep purple, with white red and black splatter paint all over, then id put a neon green rug at the edge of my bed, I have a wooden bed the frame is painted purple, with black skulls, I also had a desk that was purple,
with red dots, black splatters, and white skulls, and a chair to match. I really liked this room, I'm also gonna love getting to know my brother and my sister in law. I changed into the clothes and got in bed. I really like this house.
(MAX POV)
"i like your sister." I said, hugging fang under the sheets. "me too." he replied. "i love you." I said. "you too." he sighed, getting comfortable and kissing my forehead. "Night." I said. "night baby." he muttered as I fell asleep...
