I looked at the little girl in my arms. It was hard to believe that she was mine. I never imagined having a child because I thought I already had children. I was a mother to the whole flock, and yet here I was, finally being a real mother.

The flock were all asleep, and so was Kismet, but I wasn't. I couldn't sleep after such a painful, yet joyful experience. Angel was sleeping in my bed with me, curled up beside me with Total at our feet. Nudge, Gasman, and Iggy were all sleeping in sleeping bags on the floor, and Fang was sleeping in a chair beside the bed, watching over the baby and me. It was really sweet but he denied it and said that he just didn't want to sleep on the ground. I didn't buy it for a second.

I slowly slipped out of the bed and laid the sleeping baby down back down. I slowly crept out of the room and into the kitchen. I grabbed a glass of water and chugged it down, surprising myself at how thirsty I was. I was just setting the glass down when a baby's earsplitting cry was heard from the bedroom. I hurried back into the room and saw Fang trying to calm Kismet down, but she was still yelling. Iggy had his hands over his ears, Total was hiding under the bed, Nudge had pulled the covers over her head, Angel was just looking at Fang, and Gasman had a pillow over his head.

"Max, I don't know what to do." Fang panicked.

"Give her to me." I told him as I came over and took the crying baby from his arms.

The screams stopped sounding and the tears stopped falling. I looked down at the Kismet and saw her just looking up at me, holding onto my finger and blowing little spit bubbles. Everybody slowly came out of their hiding places and looked at me in aw.

"How did you do that?" Fang demanded.

"It's a mother's touch." I answered with a smile.

"What ever happened to a father's touch?"

"Fathers don't have 'touches' they just spoil the kids."

Iggy laughed at my comment, but Fang rolled his eyes and took Kismet out of my arms. She started whimpering but didn't burst out in tears like last time, although she looked really close. There were tears in her eyes that hadn't fallen quite yet, and her lip was jiggling.

"See, she isn't crying." Fang said proudly.

"Yeah, she isn't crying yet." Gasman said as he examined her face.

"Give her to me Fang." I said as I took her back into my arms. She instantly seemed to brighten up, and once again seized me finger. I smiled down at her then looked back up at Fang, "Like I said, it's a mother's touch."

Nudge laughed and Fang just looked at Kismet, as if to say "traitor". I kissed Fang on the cheek, which brought his attention back to me. He planted his lips on mine and kissed me passionately, squishing Kismet between us, and causing the flock to cover their faces and make "ew" sounds. Fang and I laughed and then we went back to bed, not wanting to wake Dr. Martinez and Ella.

I fell asleep with Kismet in my arms, Angel cuddled up on my side, and Fang holding me hand.

Sorry it's so short people, but I couldn't think of anything else to write, so yeah. Tell me what you think!
