Chapter 3

Fangs POV

I walked out of the kitchen and into the woods near Dr. Martinez's house. I spread out my black wings and took off into the sky to meet the guys at our "man cave." Really, it was a cave that we were pretty sure the girls didn't know about yet (except maybe Angel) and where we planned all of our surprises for them. Which we actually tried to do like once a month.

We all said hi and I got a little teasing for sleeping late. It isn't my fault! Max still freaks out if I'm not there when she wakes up and I wanted to help with Sky. I'm a good daddy.

As we discussed our plan, we all kept getting this great feeling where we know we're gonna surprise them perfectly. Gazzy is still single so he always surprises Angel and Nudge. (He's such a good brother.) Obviously I surprise Max and Sky, Jeb surprises Dr. Martinez, and Iggy surprises Ella. Sometimes it's a good surprise like bringing them their favorite food, or a prank like… well… let's just say they always check the mail before us now…

Max POV

The kitchen went silent, and then erupted into squeals of excitement. Sky talked! I picked her right up and gave her praise and hugs. I was so honored that her first word was "mama!" We passed her around letting her know what a good job she had done. Finally, we all remembered that she still needed to eat and put her back in her highchair.

"Nudge, Angel, Ella, do you want to feed Sky?" They took right over leaving me to be stunned some more. It was just such a surprise! And first its talking, then flying, then powers… My head stared spinning.

My mom could tell that something was wrong, because she came and put her arm around .my shoulders and said, "Is there anything you need to talk about?"

I hesitated, because my worries seemed so silly. "Yes, actually, I think I do."

We walked outside into the warm summer air, and sat on a small bench in the backyard.

"So what's on your mind?" My mom inquired in a gentle, very comforting voice.

I thought about how I was going to say it. "Well, I'm overjoyed that Sky is starting to talk and everything, but her childhood already seems to be flying by. Next she'll be flying, or have powers…" I trailed off, but Mom understood what I meant.

"I know you want her to be little and dependent on you and Fang forever, but eventually she'll start developing her own desires and needs. And it may seem hard at first, but you'll look back on it and be so proud of her, and with each stage of her life you'll enjoy her company more and more."

"Thanks Mom. It was good to talk to you about this."

She beamed, glad to have helped me with my problem, just like I would help Sky one day.

It wasn't exactly what I was really worried about, but her reassurances were nice anyway. I was a little worried about that too, but I saved my biggest problem to talk over with Fang later. Speaking of Fang, I totally forgot that they were planning one of their "surprises" today. He'd been gone for a while now, I bet they were all coming back soon…

Fang POV

We had everything we needed and everything was all planned out. Now we were flying back to the house, loaded down with the supplies. Jeb was driving below us, the car filled with tons more supplies. I couldn't wait to see the looks on their faces!
