Thank you all for the kind review Here is the second chapter :)

"Max…" Was all Fang could reply.

"Fang, what's wrong?" Max was concerned for him, and the fridge door handle.

"Nothing," Max wasn't convinced.

"I know you better than that Fang. Tell me, what's wrong."

"Obviously I don't know you that well."

"What? What do you me-,"

"You're married and already have kids, Max! Last time I saw you, you would cringe at the idea of even being a mother. Now you come here with 2 kids and one more on the way…"

"Actually they're twins."

"I don't give a shit! I thought that you were gonna wait a few more years. Don't you want to live?"

"I have already lived, Fang. I have lived through so much. Angel died because of me! Jeb died trying to save us! I have already almost died multiple times. I'm almost 30, I want a family Fang. I want a family with Dylan. And now I have one."

"What the hell! You used to hate Dylan. Now you are married and ready to spend the rest of your life with him! What happened with the independent Max? Why are you all of a sudden so interested in Dylan?"

"Damn it Fang! He is my husband! I got married to him! I said my vows, we had a honeymoon. And now we have a family! People don't do that unless they love someone. Look at Ella and Iggy, they are happy together!"

"I know you don't love Dylan, at least not as much as you loved me!"

"What?! You fucking bastard! Don't you dare say that to me again, unless you want to see how 'independent' I can be!"

"Admit it Max, 15 years ago you imagined it would be me in Dylan's place. That I would be your husband, the father of your children! Admit it!" Fang and Max were at the point were they were almost screaming at each other.

"How dare you!" That's when Max swung. Her open hand connected with the side of Fang's face with a loud smack. Fang stepped back from the impact and took a second to comprehend what just happened. "How dare you imply that I would want it different. How dare you think that I would want you any more! How dare you even question my love for Dylan!" That was the last straw, Max reared back and swung with all her might. Her fist connected with his head. His head jerked to one side and his body followed. Before she could do anything more her arms were pinned behind her.

Max II, or Maya, had her pinned so she couldn't move. Fang stood up slowly, a hand rubbing the spot on his jaw were Max punched him.

"Let her go!" Dylan was in the kitchen now, ripping Maya's hands off of Max. He looked at Fang and punched him in the gut. "What the hell did you do!?" Maya went to attack Dylan, but Dylan was ready for her. She reared back her leg, ready to kick, when Dylan used Fang's body as a shield. Instead of kicking Dylan in the gut, Maya got Fang right in the groin. Fang doubled over into the fetal position, clutching his balls.

"Fang! Ohmygod! I am so sorry!" Maya ran to Fang's side. She knelt over his body afraid to touch him. "You," she stood up and looked directly at Max, "you caused this. You filthy whore! Why couldn't you have just stayed away?! Why couldn't you have left us alone?! We were perfectly fine without you! And now look what you've done!"

"I caused this?! I CAUSED THIS!? You Bitch! He started this whole fucking mess! He forced me to punch him! How dare you even IMPLY that I caused this!" But right when I was about to swing, one of the babies gave a strong kick into my ribcage. "Oh!" Before I even realized what was happening, I was on my knees clutching my stomach.

"Max!" Dylan rushed to her side, and Fang took a step toward her. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing. One of the babies kicked hard, that's all." Max was trembling in Dylan's arms.

"Well at least your little son-of-a-bitch can hurt you enough. Maybe he will turn on you when he's out." Maya smirked.

"Why you little-," Dylan stood up to confront Maya. Fang stood defensively in front of Maya. Maya, who thought she didn't need protecting, stepped in front of Fang.

"Hey guys, Dr. Martinez just arrived home and she-, oh are we interrupting something?" Star stood at the entrance with Kate and Ratchet behind her. "Dr. Martinez wanted to know if hot dogs sound good. We can come back later and let you four finish up?"

"No, we're finished. Hot dogs sound awesome. Thanks Star." Max stood up, a little winded, but hanging in there. Dylan helped her out of the house and into the back yard.

Once everyone was in the back yard, Dr. Martinez started to grill the hot dogs. Calen and Trixy were already up in the air again, playing tag with Nudge, Gazzy, Iggy, and Total. Surprisingly Iggy has dodged every attack that the little kids have tried to do. Ella sat at the table watching Iggy with love. Akila also had a look of love, kind-of. Star was helping Dr. Martinez grill the Tofu dogs. Ratchet was sitting by a huge set of speakers listening to music with Kate. Both were cuddling with each other and watching the others fly around in the sky. Dylan seated Max at the table and quickly grabs a bottle of water from the giant cooler by the door.

Once the hot dogs were done, Dr. Martinez called everyone down for dinner. While everyone ate, Dr. Martinez talked mostly with me and Ella. When Dr. Martinez asked Ella what she is gonna do after college, Ella beamed with joy.

"Well after college I'm gonna…"

What will Ella do? Find out in the next chapter.
