"Are you ready?" I asked Mattie. He nodded.

I had snuck him inside invisibly. I wanted him to be a shock. Ella and Iggy were depressed, and he could see that.

"Guys, I have a surprise," I announced. Mattie was still invisible. Everyone turned their heads and looked at me.

"What?" Mom asked softly. I grinned, and I made him visible.

"Mattie!" Ella squealed. She got up quickly, and ran to hug him. Iggy was next. Mattie looked like he was about to cry. Ella was.

"Hey Mattie," Mom said as she hugged him.
"Hey Aunt Maxie." She scowled and pulled back. Me, Dad, Austin, Kyra, and Iggy burst out laughing.

"Taylor said you were dead," Ella said gently. He sighed.
"Well, what happened was I was only unconscious. I woke up and no one was there. I got up to head home, but Flyboys brought me to the school. Then when they went to get Peter, they found me too," he explained.

"I'm just glad you're home," she said before hugging him tightly. He nodded.

"I killed Janssen," I informed them. "I shot her." Everyone looked wide-eyed at me.

"Can't forget about the guy who tried to kill Peter," Jesse said as he was walking downstairs. "You snapped his neck."
"He was pissing me off," I said shrugging. Iggy stared at me.
"Since when do you cuss?"
"Since I shot Janssen and called her a bitch," I said while grinning.

"Wow," Dad said before smirking. "Taylor, do you have anything to say to Iggy?"
"You bastard, I'm gonna kick your ass!" I exclaimed. He stared at me.

"Why?"
"Dad told me about the time you were carrying me and you dropped me!" He grinned.

"You know Jess," Mattie said after he had stopped laughing. "We've never heard how you got wings." He sighed.
"Same way most people here did. Except mine were given to me when I was two," he said looking at the ground.

"Bet that hurt like hell," I said walking up to him. He shrugged.

"Just a little," he said sarcastically. I smiled and stood on my tiptoes to where I was right in his ear.
"You owe me," I whispered so softly he barely heard it. He gave me a confused look, and I smiled.

'You owe me a baby,' I sent him mentally. He grinned.

"I'll get right on it," he promised. I smiled and grabbed his arm.
"You better." I pretended to yawn.
"You're tired," Jesse observed. I looked up at him and nodded.

"You two can go to bed," Mom said softly. "Go." I smiled.

'Just make sure to lock your door,' she told me mentally. I grinned, and nodded.

"Will do."

'And don't let your dad know even thought you're married.' I nodded.

"Okay." I pulled Jesse upstairs, and I shut my door.

"What was that about?"
"Mom knows what we're doing," I informed him. I took off his shirt, and I locked the door. "She told me to do that." He grinned, and he kissed me.

"Maybe we should be very, very quiet," he suggested. I nodded.

"Maybe."
