Six months later

Well it was actually noticeable that I was expecting a baby, although I was eight months pregnant. Fang kept telling me I looked great, but I wasn't so sure. Of course everyone was going to tell me I looked great, but did I really?

I had been eating healthier the past six months then I had the last fifteen years of my life. Gazzy kept telling me I should be eating more, but there really wasn't much I could eat that would be good for the baby and filling. Heck, I didn't really even know what was healthy for the baby.

At the moment we were walking down a dirt road in Mississippi. I was tired of flying, but we needed to keep moving, so we were walking. I could hear a car coming towards us, but I didn't really think much of it. Many cars had passed us, and non of them did anything. I saw a vulture pecking at a dead cow carcass. It probably had fallen over and gotten attacked by a whole bunch of them. Poor thing.

The car that I had heard drove by us, then screeched to a halt. Can you guess what came out? After eight months of not seeing a single one of the pesky things, here was a van full of them, plus their ring leader. Jeb, his Erasers, and his fly Erasers.

One problem with being a pregnant bird girl is trouble taking off. So, while the others a probably going to easily take off and have to fight fly Erasers, I'm going to have to stay on the ground and fight the ground Erasers, Jeb, and maybe even a couple of the flying Erasers.

"Fly!" I yelled at the flock, who quickly obliged.

Even though I knew it would be useless to even try, I ran for a takeoff. I almost had enough speed to get into the air too, if an Eraser didn't grab me before I could jump. I struggled against the Eraser who was holding me, but he was really strong. Probably a new design.

Jeb walked over to me with, whom else, Air following close behind. Jeb took one look at me and his eyes widened. He looked thunderstruck, and looked at me questioningly. I just glared back, still struggling to get loose.

"Max… you're… you're pregnant?" his voice was skeptical.

"It sure does look like it, doesn't it?" I said with venom in my voice.

"How did this happen? When did this happen?"

"It happened the way it usually happens, and it isn't any of your business anyway. I don't have to tell you anything." I continued to glare and struggle.

I could hear the flock battling above, and I stole a quick glance up at them. They seemed to be doing okay, but I couldn't help notice that Fang was trying to get to me, but being blocked by many Erasers. I looked back at Jeb, and I saw the shock fade. He was… smiling.

"This is great, no, wonderful!" he exclaimed.

"Um… it is?" I was very confused.

One second he was totally shocked about it, and the next he was saying how wonderful it was that I was pregnant. What was going on?

"Yes, Maximum, it is. We have never had any of our… students reproduce. This could be very beneficial for us." A huge smile was on his face.

My eyes grew wide and I felt my pulse go up, "You MONSTER! You have absolutely no feelings whatsoever!"

"Quite the contrary, Max, I have many feelings. I felt sadness when you said you hated me, and I just felt shock and confusion when I saw you looking… well… pregnant."

"Oh, yeah, sure, you care about the flock and me, but you don't mine torturing us and using us as experiments. Oh yeah, that's feelings for you."

I wanted to kill him. I wanted to personally kill him! To think that I had actually idolized him at one point in my life, that I actually had missed him. It was laughable.

"So when's the baby due?" Ari asked smugly, talking for the first time.

"None of your business, mutant freak." I snapped

"Look who's talking, bird girl." He barked back.

Before I could reply Fang came hurtling down, banging into the Eraser holding onto me. Both the Eraser and I fell over, and Fang pried the Eraser off of me.

"Fly, Max, fly!" he yelled as he punched the Eraser in the face.

I quickly pushed away from the two and ran, getting ready for a take off. I barley made it off the ground, and I was only ten feet off the ground when Ari came towards me, trying to grab hold of me. I quickly dodged him, barley getting away, and almost falling from the sky. Ari dove for me again, pulling his arm back, ready to strike. I dodged him, and while he was passing my kicked him in the back. He went spiraling forward, not being able to stop himself. He wasn't every experienced at flying.

"Flock, get out of here! Fang and I'll catch up!" they all nodded and flew towards the north.

Some Erasers tried to follow but I got in their path, fighting them off. It was very hard, since they were so strong, and I was so fat and pregnant, but I succeeded in wording them off, and they flew back down to Jeb. Fang flew up to me, bloody, but seemingly fine. Jeb looked up at me, watching me closely. I looked back, and then flew away towards the flock, with Fang close behind.

Sorry for this chapter being so short, but I couldn't think of anything else to write. R&R!
