"Aw, poor Fang

"Aw, poor Fang. He got stuck driving the SUV home," I said as he got out of the driver's seat.

"Never again," he said grabbing my hand. I nodded.

"Okay," I muttered. We walked inside and handed Mom her keys without a word.

"So, did you find anything?" she asked curiously. We all grinned and nodded.

"Yeah," Ella said happily. Gazzy ran in.
"I want to see the new cars!" he said eagerly. I nodded.

"Okay," I said making a whoa Nellie gesture with my hands. "Chill Gaz."

"So, you got one?" Nudge asked. Angel grinned.

"This is going to be good," she said mischievously. I nodded, and we opened the door.

The first car you could see was the Corolla. Mom's SUV was blocking the mustang.

"That's pretty!" Angel squealed.

"I told you," Iggy muttered to Ella. She rolled her eyes.

"Gazzy, is this a chick car?" she asked. He shrugged.

"Not really. It could go either way," he said after observing it some more.
"Yeah. They had this really awesome black mustang convertible. It was a 2012. It had light tan seats. It was really cool," I said sadly.

"What happened to it?" Nudge asked curiously.

"Someone bought it," Fang said simply. Iggy grinned.

"Hey Nudge, can you check and see if one of my CDs is in the SUV?" Ella asked. Nudge nodded.

"Sure," she said opening the door. Iggy, Ella, Angel, Fang, and I knew what was next.

"Oh my God!" she squealed. She got out and ran around to the other side of the SUV, followed by everyone else.

"You bought it?" Gazzy asked excitedly. I nodded.

"We did," I said blankly. He stared at it.

"This is definitely not a chick car," he said shaking his head.

"It's not a man's car either!" Nudge shouted. Gazzy stared at her.

"Yes it is!" he said quickly.

"Sexist pig," she mumbled.

"I trained her so well," I said smiling. Fang rolled his eyes.

"It's only three," Fang announced. "Anyone want to go swimming?" He looked at everyone's expressions. Ella and Iggy were nodding, and everyone else was staring at him like he was an idiot.

"I am, kind of," I said after thinking. Fang nodded.

"Nah. You get to just sit there," he said grinning. I rolled my eyes.

"If you're coming, come on!" I said walking inside. They all followed.

"We may be at a really warm beach, but it's January!" Nudge exclaimed. I nodded.

"Your point?" I asked. She stared at me.

"January!" she shouted. I winced and put my hands on my ears.

"Nudge, God, I know! Trust me." They all reluctantly nodded and went and got their bathing suits. Fang grinned.
"Max, come here," he said gesturing towards our room. I followed him.

"What?" I asked quietly. He sighed.

"I love you," he whispered before kissing my neck. I smiled.

"I love you too." He kissed my lips.

"Listen, for tonight, Isaac and Maria have already set stuff up. For tonight, could we try staying in the house?" he asked hopefully. I nodded.

"Sure." He smiled, and I grabbed a duffle bag. "We need stuff for school tomorrow," I said simply. He nodded.

"So, do you're parents come down here every so often to clean the house?" I asked. He shook his head, and opened the closet.

"No. They pay someone else to," he said quietly.

"Do they know they're going to be grandparents?" I asked curiously. He nervously looked at me, and then the floor.

"I haven't gotten around to telling them," he said nervously.

"Well, this weekend we need to go and tell them. We'll even drive up there," I offered. He smiled and nodded.

"We?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not going to make you go alone," I said sweetly.

"And you're not going to leave me up there this time either," he said narrowing his eyes. I nodded.

"Right," I said happily. I kissed him, and he pulled back quickly and walked into the bathroom.

"We might need these," he said throwing our toothbrushes and shower stuff in the front pouch of the bag. I nodded and grabbed my hairbrush. I had a mini toothpaste in my room.

"Let's go," I said grabbing the bag. He took it from me.

"The awesome thing is, we don't have to worry about bringing pillows or blankets," he said enthusiastically. I nodded, and we walked out to the car, where everyone was waiting around the car. I put the bag in the back.

"Mom, we're going to try sleeping there tonight," I explained. She smiled.

"Okay," she said nodding.

"Mom, you can just ride with us," Ella said sweetly. Mom nodded, and Gazzy and Nudge climbed in the backseat of the mustang.

I hated my bathing suit. The only ones we could ever find in my size were bikinis. So, I wore a cami and shorts with it. Fang stared at me.

"You were supposed to be putting on your bathing suit," he said crossing his arms. We were in our room. The Flock and Mom were exploring the house. Nudge and Angel went crazy.

"I did," I said as I pulled back off my cami. "But, I don't like it." Fang grinned.

"I do," he said pulling me closer to him. I put my forehead on his.

"Well, do you really want me to go in front of all of those guys like this?" I asked, trying to get him to forget it.

"Not really," he said shaking his head. I kissed him.

"That's what I thought," I said as I was pulling it back on. He smiled.

"You know, you can't really swim," he reminded me. I nodded.

"Yeah. I was going to just sit there," I said honestly. "Me and El can talk about you and Iggy behind your backs!" He narrowed his eyes at me. He laid me on the very big, king size, temprapedic mattress. It was so soft. It didn't make a noise.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love this bed, and you," I said before kissing him. He slid my cami off.

"No." He kissed my neck. "Iggy's not looking, Gazzy's not either or Nudge would kill him, and Jason has just turned nine!" he exclaimed.

"Fine," I said standing up. I crossed my arms and walked downstairs.
"It's not like Nudge won't be wearing one," he reminded me.

"Fang, she's not as big in some areas as me!" I hissed. He thought and then nodded.

"And your point?" I rolled my eyes and walked downstairs. Everyone was waiting.

"Okay," I said pouting. Ella was wearing a bikini top too with shorts. I don't think she was too happy about it. Fang walked downstairs, and he handed everyone a towel.

We all walked over to the building right beside our house.

"Damn, Ig, I forgot the keys at the house," Fang teased.

"No! I'm not falling for that one again!" Iggy exclaimed. Ella and me giggled.

"You have to admit Ig, that's funny," I said as Fang opened the door.

"No it wasn't," he mumbled as he was walking in. Fang snickered.

"Was too," he said with a grin. Ella and me nodded.

"Oh my gosh!" Nudge squealed. Gazzy and Jason were excited. Angel was at the slide it had. I blinked. It had a diving board too.

"Max, watch me!" she squealed. I nodded, and she slid down and into the deep end.

"Oh my gosh, this is so warm," Gazzy said after he had jumped in.

"And you thought we were crazy," Fang said shaking his head. I sat down in a chair on the side of the pool. He sat beside me.

"Go," I whispered. He looked at me, and then smiled.

"Okay." Him and Ig ran and jumped off the diving board. Ella laughed and came and sat beside me.

"One day we'll be teaching our kids how to swim in here," she said thoughtfully. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah. Then, we'll actually get to be in the pool," I said grinning. She nodded.

"Iggy said I wasn't allowed because I would get too excited and start trying to swim," she said sadly. "He knows me too well." I laughed.

"Fang made me take off the cami I had over this," I said while grimacing. She nodded.

"Iggy did too," she said while nodding. Fang ran up to me. He was dripping wet. He shook his head quickly and got water on Ella and me. We both shrieked and stood up.

"What do you want?" I asked after getting back to where he couldn't do that again. He started walking towards us. We were backing up until he had me against a wall.

"You," he said sweetly. I rolled my eyes.

"I mean why did you get out of the pool," I said frowning.

"Iggy dared me to do that," he said while smirking. He kissed me quickly and ran back into the pool before I could kill him. Ella rolled her eyes.

"Iggy," she said sweetly. He looked up at her.

"Yes?" he asked nervously. She smiled.
"Come here," she said eagerly. I stared at her. She looked at me for a second, and then back at him. He walked up to her, soaking wet, and smiled.

"Yes?" he asked while smiling. I looked at Fang and winked.

"I have one question," she said holding up a finger. He nodded. "Why must you insist on torturing me?" He grinned.

"It's fun," he said while smirking. She nodded and stepped closer, which made him step back to where he was at the edge of the pool.

"Oh my gosh, you know what else is fun?" she asked curiously. He nodded.

"Lots of stuff. Like—" she shoved him into the water.

"That," she said smiling sweetly. He came up.

"Ow!" he exclaimed. I laughed. Fang shook his head and went under water.

"Aw, what's the matter?" Ella asked squatting beside the pool.

"If it wasn't for the fact you're pregnant, I would so pull you in here right now," Iggy said narrowing his eyes.

"If it wasn't for the fact I'm pregnant, I'd be in the pool with you," she reminded him. He nodded.

"I know." He went under water.

"When did Angel come up from underwater from the slide?" Ella asked nervously. She hadn't come up.

"She hasn't," I said not looking at her. "She can breath underwater." She nodded.

"That's cool," she said smiling. I nodded.

"Weird how we discovered it," I said smiling at the memory. Fang walked up and sat beside me.

"How we discovered what?" he asked before kissing my cheek.

"How Angel can breath underwater," I said quickly. He grinned and nodded.

"Yeah. We got so scared. She had gone underwater and she had been underwater a long time," he said grinning still. I nodded.

"Yeah. Why aren't you swimming this time?" I asked raising an eyebrow. He shrugged.

"No reason," he said glancing over at me for a second. I rolled my eyes, and then snapped.

"You wanted to listen to what we were saying about you two," I said standing up. He grinned and then shook his head.

"No. Me? Why would you say that?" he asked innocently. I rolled my eyes.

"Well, go away," I said sitting back down beside him.

"What if I don't want to?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Me and El together can hurt you," I said simply. He stood up and ran back to the pool.

"Max!" Angel exclaimed after finally coming up. I looked at her.

"Yes sweetie?" I asked glancing at her.

"Me, Fang, and Iggy are going to have a biggest splash competition. And a smallest. Can you and Ella judge?" she asked sweetly. Fang rolled his eyes but got out. I nodded.

"Sure," we said in unison.

"Okay. I'll go first," Iggy announced. I rolled my eyes.

"Then me!" Angel said happily. Fang smiled.

"They saved the best for last," he said looking at me.

"Then why are you last?" Angel asked turning to look at him. He narrowed his eyes at her.

"Ig, go!" he said after he quit playfully being mad at her. Iggy nodded, and he started running.

"Cannonball!" he exclaimed. It made a big splash all right. Ella grinned.

Angel was next. Iggy looked at Fang who was grinning like he knew something we didn't. Angel ran off and did a can opener.

"Oh my God!" Ella yelled.

"Hers was bigger that Iggy's!" I squealed. Iggy gaped at us.

"You can't be serious!" he insisted. I nodded.

"We are," I said nodding. Fang nodded.

"Dude, it really was," he said while grinning.

"Fang, go," I said impatiently. He started walking in slow motion. Then out of nowhere, he ran as fast as possible. He did a cannonball. His got me and Ella soaked. We shrieked and stood up. We were so wet it was like we had just gotten out of the pool. I laughed, and Ella shook her head.

"Well, that winner is obvious," she said laughing. I nodded and grabbed a towel. Fang came up and laughed.

"Oops," he said as he was getting out. I nodded, and he walked beside me. "My bad." I nodded.

"Hurry up Fang!" she shouted. "You're first for this next one!" He smiled.

"Be right back," he said happily.

He got to the edge of the diving board and he slid off. He just barely missed hitting his head. The splash was small. Angel was next. She did the same thing Fang did, but with a smaller splash.

Iggy was last. Of course, he did the same thing, but his was the smallest. It was like a four-year-old had just jumped in. Fang just stared.

"He beat Angel!" he exclaimed. Angel frowned.

"This sucks ass!" she yelled. Fang looked at her.

"Angel, be nice," he said while biting his lip so he wouldn't laugh. She smiled.

"Okay," she said before getting out of the pool and jumping in for fun. Fang got out and came beside me.

"Wow. Ella, I didn't know Iggy could make that small of a splash," he said while smiling. She shook her head.

"Me either," she said honestly. Fang pulled me into his lap and put his chin gently on my shoulder.

"I didn't know you could make one that big," I said looking at Fang. He nodded.

"I guess I can," he said grinning. Nudge frowned.

"You'll never guess what's happening right now," she said shaking her head.

"What sweetie?" I asked curiously.

"People are getting cameras and stuff ready for school tomorrow!" she said angrily. Fang sighed.

"Damn it," he mumbled. I nodded and looked at the time.

"Guys, we need to be going soon," I said sadly. They all nodded and got out.

"Okay. Let's go," Angel said pulling on my arm.
"I got all of your clothes because that would have been kind of cold walking back," Mom said handing everyone their clothes. She didn't have mine or Fang's. He shrugged.

"It's okay. I haven't gotten cold since…seven months ago," he said after thinking. We all looked at him. He set his finger on fire. "Couldn't have anything to do with this." I grinned and nodded.

"He's dangerous," Iggy said backing up away from him. I smiled.

"So are you!" I exclaimed. "You just have to punch someone to blow them up!" he grinned.

"I know." Gazzy frowned.
"We need to try to make a bomb more powerful than your hands," he said angrily. Iggy smiled brightly and looked up.

"That's a—"

"Bad idea," I finished. He looked at me. Ella nodded.

"You don't need to make a…your hands?" she asked, stunned. He nodded.

"Yep. Come on. Max, we'll only use it for emergencies," he promised. I sighed and nodded.

"Okay. But when you two test it, I swear to God if you mess anything up—"

"Yes Mommy. We'll be careful," Gazzy said rolling his eyes. I frowned.
"Fine. I warned you." Fang threw me my towel.

"You might need that to go inside," he said smiling. I nodded, and the two of us walked out.
