Oh are you ready for a random fact that my teacher pointed out to me?

Strange or what?
Max POV:
The sunlight came in through the windows and I stretched my arms upwards. I then pulled the covers up over my face to block the sunlight and snuggled up next to something warm beside me. I heard a chuckle and ignored it burrowing my face against Fang's chest to hide from the stupid sun.
"Max, you need to wake up. The kids are already outside. You sure have gotten lazy since we have saved the wor..." Fang didn't get to finish his sentence because I just pushed him off the bed. Instead of getting mad he just laughed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Okay now I know what you all are thinking about me sleeping in the same bed as Fang. (Cliché I know, but I can't help it) Well we didn't do anything, and we haven't done anything at all except kiss… a lot. Anyways we both decided we want to wait until we get married. I know gasp right? Yea we've talked about it, but we're not rushing. We have all the time in the world… now at least. Besides we don't share a room. We actually do have separate rooms… they just are connected. And we usually are in the same room at night, but once again NOTHING happens. Fang is a gentleman and is very respectful of me.
Well you're confused again right? You're probably wondering where the heck we are anyways. Well remember our E shaped house? We live there but we added on extra rooms. We needed to add a nursery for James. Yes we kept him… well that makes him sound like a pet or something. But he is just soooo cute and we all fell in love with him. He is the baby of our family know, though Angel still gets all the love she needs plus more.
Lily and Twitch live with us too! Don't worry we divided the rooms well. Boys on one side of the house, girls on the other. Fang's room and my room are in the middle. So in case anyone wants to go anywhere out of their wing at night, we'll hear them. I know we're evil right? But it's not really needed since we all trust each other. But Jeb felt better with us living alone this way. Even though I love my "genetic" family, I had to stay with my REAL family, the flock.
Though my mom and sister Ella visit us all the time and vice versa, of course Jeb visits us a lot too. Or pretty much whenever he can. Jeb is a busy man, you know since he has invented all these things to keep our world from being polluted and helped slow down global warming. Okay you have got to listen to this! Jeb invented a car that runs off… get ready for it! CHOCOLATE! I know!!!! What a stroke of pure genius. (I want a car like that. Actually I think I would eat all the fuel lol) So we also have four guest rooms just in case. Oh and Total and Light and their kids have a room. Ummm I don't know how… since you know… one is a dog and one is a bird… umm but they sort of had kids. I don't see how and I don't want to know! (I don't think it's possible but this is fan FICTION people! Ha, ha, they are adorable in my head anyways) But we have little flying dogs with wings all over the place. I think there are like 12 of them. They move around too fast to count half the time.
I know CRAZY right? But that's our life. I'm probably moving along to fast… you're just going have to reread this paragraph by paragraph I guess.
Fang came back into the room and I sighed. He just raised one perfect eyebrow at me and I already knew what he was silently asking. "I'm just happy is all, who would have ever thought that it would all turn out this well?" Fang just grinned at me and left the room; probably to go check on everyone outside. When I walked into the bathroom and showered I thought about everything that has happened to us. Starting out with the school, to living with Jeb, to when Angel got kidnapped, to running from ITEX, to living with Anne, to defeating Itex, to right now.
It seems like it was lifetimes ago… but actually just a couple years ago that this all ended. Today is our anniversary, the anniversary of when we saved the world and became free. I finished my shower, got dressed, and walked outside. Everyone was in our huge backyard eating and joking around. Iggy was barbequing while Lily was telling him not to burn anything. As if, Iggy is still the best cook. Except for my mom's baking skills. I'm still a choco crazed person but I've learned how to control myself. Nudge and Angel were chattering about something or other and I saw Gasman teaching Twitch how to make bombs… just great. I looked around for James and saw that he was napping in the corner on a blanket under the tree. Even though he is smart he still is a toddler and needs his naps. I looked at the piece of paper in front of him. Ouch… just looking at all that math is giving me a headache.
I saw Iggy sneaking peeks at Gazzy's bomb while pretending to listen to Lily. Iggy loves her but he was still a pyromaniac. Did you notice that I said that he was sneaking peeks? Well Iggy got his sight back, thanks to Jeb… I mean my dad. He felt really bad about how Iggy's eyes were ruined and there was a long complex surgery that scared us all to death. But in the end Iggy could see again. He loves it. Though at times when it all overwhelms him he will close his eyes for a bit and he still manages find without his eyes, though he is so happy that he can see his family again. (Cliché I know but Iggy just has to see!)
Everyone was happy and carefree. I leaned back against a tree and just smiled. Then I had to duck when Total swooped down trying to catch one of his pups. Oh hey I forgot to mention that Total finally got wings. He wanted them really bad and when he had the pups… he somehow got Jeb to put wings on him.
But don't worry they are much better than the erasers since they are smaller. Besides, Jeb learned a thing or two. Total if very graceful in the air, plus his wings don't hurt him.
I heard someone chuckle behind me and saw fang, "are you having another inner monologue?" he asked me. "You should write a book on our life. I have my blog and you have to have something to occupy yourself with. Besides you keep talking to yourself." He smirked when he said that and headed back into the kitchen to bring out more food. I think we are the only people that barbeque this early but oh well. We are special.
So we all gathered around the picnic table and I stood to make my little cheesy speech. "I am so glad that we are all together and have survived another year without killing each other," there were some laughs at that, "may we have many more occasions like this. I love you all." There were some cheers and "we love you too Max."
So we ate then played some volleyball… girls against boys and guess who won? GIRLS!!! We are just that awesome, oh and Angel kind of controlled them… a little.
I sat down after that tiring game and stretched. I was already wiped, that's when I felt someone's arms wrap around me and I smiled. "So Fang what happens next?"
Fang POV:
I saw Max sit down after playing volleyball and I went and wrapped my arms around her slight shoulders. God I love this girl so much! She smiled and looked up at me practically glowing. "So Fang what happens next?" I just chuckled nervously while I took my hand into my pocket and fingered the little ring box I had in there. If only she knew.
BIGGEST CLICHÉ IN HISTORY!!!!
I KNOW, I KNOW IGGY GETS HIS SIGHT BACK, TOTAL HAS WINGS, AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY AFTER. Plus Fang is going to propose to Max. I know its sooo cliché but this is the best ending. I'm a SUCKER for happy endings… I just am. So flame if you want, I want Maximum Ride characters to be happy.
