Hiya readers. Sorry I took longer to update. Thanks for all the reviews, really appreciate it.
Chapter 6
Max s pov
Me and Mum were heading to her office.
We were in the car with her driving and we were both sitting in comfortable silence.
Ella was at school and Charlie went to work.
I was dreading this check up. Mum was going to do an ultra sound to see how the baby was doing.
All sorts of questions raced in my head.
What if the baby isn't aright? Will it have wings or, or a beak?.
Oh my god what if its an egg and I have to give birth to it, THEN sit on it for months on end until it hatches?
I was at the point of hyperventilation when Mum shook my shoulder.
"we're here".
Taking a few deep breaths I climbed out of the car.
"You okay"? she asked me
"fine" I said. Yeah right
Once inside Mum had me lay on a metal table and lift my shirt to reveal my bump.
As I waited for her to set everything up I rubbed my belly affectionately.
"All right I'm going to put some of this on your stomach it may be cold".
She then squirted some jello like stuff on me.
She then took this weird mouse thing and scanned it along my stomachs.
I turned to the screen beside us.
Mum was silent for a bit, I turned to see her have a serious look of concentration on her face turn to one of surprise.
"Oh my god" I burst "The babies hurt isn't it"?
She looked to me.
"No Max that's not"
"It's an egg then isn't it. I'm going lay a big giant egg".
"Max if you would just"
"And knowing my luck I'll probably crush the thing or drop it or Total will try to make an omelette again".
"MAX"
I stop my mini panic attack and turn to her.
"Twins" she said.
..."huh"?...
"Twins Max you're having twins" she smiles.
I just look at her in pure shock
"As ...as in two"? I ask rather stupidly.
"Yes twins usually means two" she replies.
she then turns to the screen and points toward it.
"This one on the left is a boy I'd say and the one on the right is a girl. They're both healthy and in good condition".
I look at the screen to see two distinct shapes.
I smile my babies I think.
As I look longer and more closer I notice small sort of bone like shapes on their backs.
Wings.
I was sitting in Ella s room looking at the small picture of my two babies from the ultra sound.
I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad that they have wings.
When I pictured a family in the past we'd all be flying. But Fang and the rest of the flock were in the picture too.
Fang and I would be teaching our kids how to fly and do tricks in the sky.
When we were in the school planning the escape Fang said he couldn't wait to teach our son or daughter how to fly.
"Yeah and we'll have a little minion to join mine and Gazzy s explosives club" Iggy had added, of course that led to a beating from me.
I smile at the memory. Of course now that's all it is...a memory.
Fang will never teach his children to fly.
If they didn't have wings I think Then they could live normal lives.
I look down at my stomach.
"wings or not" I say.
"Mummy loves you both and WILL protect you."
Knock knock.
I wake from my nap and look to see Bella entering the room.
I automatically tense, though I'm pretty sure she won't hurt me, not in her fathers house with his wife down stairs anyway.
"Hi sorry for waking you" she says I sit up.
"It's fine what do you want".
She looks a little uncomfortable.
"Well we haven't spoken much since you arrived so I thought we could get to know each other".
"So in other words you came here to interrogate me then report back to your husband, am I right"? She stiffens then lets out a sigh.
Bella's pov
"Actually Edward doesn't know I'm here" I say to Max.
"And he'd kill me if he knew I came to see you by my self he's a little protective especially considering we don't know what you are or where your from".
What I am"? She tries to look innocent.
"We know your not totally human or at least different from other humans".
She tenses.
"What we really want to know" I quickly add "If your a threat to us, me and my family I mean".
"well" she starts.
"That depends, are you a threat to mine?".
We're quiet for a few moments just looking at each other.
"I never attack or hurt anyone without good reason". she says looking me straight in the eyes and I believe her.
"Nor do we" I say and we both physically relax.
"So" Max starts casually.
"what are you anyway and don't deny it I know your not totally human either".
I sigh I guess she has a right to know especially know that Seth has imprinted on her, so she'll find out eventually.
"We will answer all you questions but we also have some for you".
She looks a bit reluctant but then nods in agreement.
"I'll go tell my family your not a threat to us and we came arrange a meeting. Is tonight OK?"
She's quiet for a moment.
"If your family thought I was a threat why didn't you?"
I thought about that for a while.
"I dunno" I finally said .
"you just didn't seem like the kind of person who goes out of her way to hurt people and you looked really ...lost" I said remembering all the pain and sadness in her eyes.
She puts on a defensive look like she wants to deny it, but then she relaxes fine she finally agrees.
"we'll meet up tonight..where"? I smile
"Me and Edward will pick you up and take you to our house and introduce you".
She nods reluctantly.
Back to Max s pov
Aaaahhhhhh what the hell was I thinking agreeing to this.
I could be walking right into a trap.
Bella just left and I'm already dreading meeting her family.
I'm such an idiot they could kill me as soon as I step through the door and I'd be totally out numbered.
Stupid Maximum. ...But for some reason, when Bella looked me in the eyes and told me she and her family don't hurt people without good reason I believed her.
When I was around her and Edward I sensed they we're capable of hurting me and were potential threats.
That doesn't mean they will hurt me.
After all I have the power to hurt and destroy many people but I choose not to.
So maybe their the same.
And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about the Cullen family.
Sigh.
Guess I better go tell Total about the meeting tonight no way am I facing them alone.
Besides they'll find out about him eventually.
Hey thanks again for the reviews.
Again sorry it took so long to update I've been real busy lately, but enough excuses.
I really hoped everyone enjoyed this chapter and will review.
Bye, bye
