FANG POV

"We missed you so much!" Nudge gushed pulling me up from where they pushed me to the floor- or rather hugged me to the floor.
"I missed you too, kid," I let out the warmest smile I could manage. I was even surprised Max was happy. I know Max. She would kick the crap out of me if I ever left her. I guess she missed me so much that she didn't care.

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Iggy asked.

"It would be too hard in person," I sighed, "Well, do you have any luggage?"

"Nope," Max smiled, "We have all of our stuff right here."

Max displayed the satchel I hadn't noticed her carrying. It was small, and I was surprised all of the kids' clothes could even fit in there.

"Well let's get out of here," I suggested. We walked to my SUV.

"Whoa," Angel breathed.

"How could you get this kind of stuff?" Max asked.

"I have rich parents," I informed.

"Y-y-you found your parents?" Nudge exclaimed.

"Yeah," I replied, "I did a lot of research and found them."

"They just let you buy all this stuff?" Max asked.

"Well… The money and the presents… I don't think they know I'm buying you such expensive stuff or giving you a crap load of money. But the SUV and the plane tickets my mom gave me. She really wants to meet you."

The flock silently got in the car. Did I say something wrong? Nudge did most of the talking in the car. She talked about Iggy being her boyfriend now (which Gasman didn't look so happy about) and how Max missed me.

We finally got to the mansion and their eyes lit up with occasional "Oo's" and "Ah's."

"Y-y-you serious live here?" Max stuttered.

"Not for long," I replied with a wink. I just had to face it- they would ask me and I would say yes.

"Can we meet your parents?" Nudge asked.
