Hey, everybody! I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long. Hockey, softball, friends, and a HOT new boyfriend have been taking up my time!

MAX POV

"Hurry up, Blaze!" I yelled at the bathroom door. Man, for a mutant that could just use her super-speed to go faster, she takes an awful long time in the bathroom.

"I'm coming! Can't a girl get two minutes in the bathroom without being yelled at?" I heard her screech from behind the door.

"Yes, every woman can, however, you have been in that bathroom for THIRTY!" I countered, looking around her new room. DAMN! Tony was loaded. Team buses, top notch gear, awesome phone, great car, and now this ROOM! I hate the guy… actually no, I don't hate him. I hate his parents. His parents are to blame.

"Hey, where is Tony?" I asked her, noticing the lack of sound coming from the television.

"He said he needed to go out and buy some stuff. Don't ask me what. I can never tell what's on that boy's mind." She said, stepping out of the bathroom in her warm-ups.

"Speaking of shopping, we are going to need to go shopping with you later." I said.

"And why, in hell's name, would we do that? We don't need anything new, do we?" She questioned.

"Oh, yes we do. You're getting married in a little more than a year, and I think its time we start changing your wardrobe." I grinned.

"How so?"

"Well, first off, there will be no more sleeping in tank tops of sweat pants. That is totally out, unless, of course, you don't want a HOT honeymoon and marriage."

"God, Max. You have a really creepy mind."

"Yeah, well you will also need more shirts that cling, and definitely some short skirts."

"I thought we were making me look nice for him, not like a slut for every other guy on the block."

"Like Tony would ever let them get within 5 feet of you."

"Whatever. So what am I going to sleep in?"

"Well, Victoria's Secret has some pretty nice stuff."

"Eew! Their stuff shows EVERYTHING!" She screamed.

"Which is why he won't be able to sleep a single night without you," I told her, grinning. "Besides, you want three kids, right?"

"Well, yes, but I don't want all of them right away. That would kill my figure, Max. And I don't want him to think that marriage is going to change me because it won't."

"Oh yes it will. You get married and EVERYTHING will change. You'll be literally claimed by one man, you're gonna live with him, you're gonna be with him a whole lot more, and the separated lives you used to have are gone. Your NAME will change! Blaze, if you think for one second that your life isn't gonna completely change, we need to get your brain checked!"

"Okay, okay, I see your point. I just meant changing my appearance is all, Max. I know that Tony and I are getting married, okay? You don't have to tell me everything that goes with it." She paused for about a moment. "Well, while we we're out shopping, your getting some new stuff for Fang, too." She said, trying to change the subject.

"Oh, no, you are not going to turn this on me!.." Just then, Tony and Fang walked into the room.

"What are you girls talking about?" Tony asked.

"Nothing!" we both said in unison.

Both guys gave us suspicious looks before deciding to just let it go. Fang sat beside me and grabbed my hand, while Tony wrapped his arms around her and started kissing her neck. Feeling awkward, Fang pulled me out of the room and lead me to the room he shared with the flock.

We talked about how are lives had been while we were separated. He had supposedly spent the entire time tucked in his room or out with his one friend he made named Marx, but I couldn't help but wonder if he was telling the truth about that or if he had gotten a girlfriend or something.

I told him about the house Nudge and I owned, along with the school, the softball team and the dance team, which made to make him a bit uncomfortable, especially when I showed him some pictures.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Well, I just don't like the thought of other guys touching you like that and watching you dance like that. I know it was okay with Chris because you were dating then, but I'm not on the dance team and I can't tell if the guys cross the line or not. And the outfits kind of make it worse." He explained.

"Oh, don't be such a worry wart. They don't touch me and the outfits don't show anything." I defended, slapping his arm playfully.

"Yeah, I guess." He said, still sounding a little uncertain. "You know what would make me believe you more? A kiss."

"Ugh, men." I state, giggling before pecking him lightly on the lips. Ok, so I meant for it to be a mere peck, but I couldn't help myself, I made it last longer. Much longer. So long in fact that we didn't here Iggy come in.

"My god, you two. Get a room!" He said.

"We did, thank you. You merely walked into our room. And why should you care, Iggy. You can't even see." I say, before "pecking" Fang on the lips once again.

Iggy left us alone and we started talking again. I finally got Fang to admit his short relationship with a girl named Leanne. They only went out for a month, thought which made me feel a little bit better.

Blaze POV

"I love you." I sighed between kisses.

This is wrong. You two can wait for the wedding. Not now, not now, my mind kept telling me. I thought of the events that had brought on this lust that we were both feeling. First, he was kissing my neck before telling me that instead of making us wait for a little over a year, the Rain Gardens had a sudden cancellation and we were now going to get married two months from now, on August 12th, making me giddy with excitement.

What? I was getting married much earlier now, and besides, it's not like it was stressing me out. Everything was already planned, courtesy of my cell phone and my lap top. The dress was waiting for me to get fitted, and Tony's mom had promised to get me it and have it remade if it didn't fit, the buffet was set, the place was set, I had my brides maids, my maid of honor, our moms had the invitations already handled, using their family address books at the school phone and address book for the guest list, which they were going to send me and Tony to check over and discuss.

All I needed to do was try on my dress, pick out the maid of honor dress that they would all wear, and have Max pick out her special Maid of Honor dress that I insist she has. Tony has the easy part of getting plain black tuxes.

Well, apparently, we got too excited because before I knew it, he was on top of me, my team jacket was off, leaving me in my tank top and my jean shorts while he has his shirt off.

"Blaze, we should stop. What if we go too far and the worst happens?"

I thought about it. What would be the worst that could happen? I'd be pregnant. But I wouldn't be showing on my wedding day, so it wouldn't do any damage, really. We loved each other and we were expecting to have a child soon after marriage, anyway.

"Then we have a baby that we will both love and care for. That doesn't seem too bad to me, Tony. We were planning on having our first child right after marriage. This would just mean that that beautiful child would be in our hands two months earlier than we were planning." I explained, before kissing him again. He still seemed scared.

"Blaze, what would your father say. We would have broken our promise."

"No we wouldn't. You only promised that you wouldn't force me into anything I didn't want to do. I want to do this, Tony. So you technically wouldn't be breaking your promise." I nuzzled into his neck, urging him to say yes.

He wrapped his arms around me. "Are you sure this is what you want to do, Bantrala. I mean, it would be a big step."

"I'm sure." That was all the convincing he needed.
