DISCLAIMER: I don't own

Nothing Like This- Chapter 12 (Finding Parents pt 2)

In this chappie, I may not describe each good-bye, cause I'm not really sure how to but this is basically when Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy leave.

MAX POV

I ran down the hall to find the source of that high-pitched squeal. I slowed to a stop as I entered my room. "Fang?" I questioned. "When were you going to tell me? I have a daughter? How is that possible Max? Wait, don't answer that, just…go!" He dangled Shadow from her ankles. "No Fang, don't! You're hurting her!" Fang just shrugged and dropped her. I sprung forward, my arms reaching out. I caught her! But her head hit the ground with a crack. Hot, fresh tears poured down my cheeks as I stood. "How could you? She was just a year old!" 'SLAP!!!' I cradled my cheek that was now burning red. 'SLAP!!!' My other cheek. 'BAM!!!' My stomach. How could he, how could he do that? I slumped to the ground in pain.

FANG POV

Ugh, I hope she's all right. Grabbing her shoulder once more, I shook her. "Max, Max, come on." Leaning over her, I placed a small kiss on her sweating forehead.

"Come on Max!" I whispered again. All of a sudden, the panting stopped and she shot up from her seat.

"Max?" I cautiously asked. "Fang…" she muttered. I held her tight and kissed her lips, reassuring her that she was ok. They sat like that for a few minutes before I pulled away from Max to look up at the clock. "3 am" I read aloud chuckling. Max groaned as I helped her stand. "You ok?" I asked. In response, she asked a question. "Do you love me?" She shot at me. Uh, what am I supposed to say? Oh, how do I say this?

MAX POV

I stared in to his deep brown eyes, searching for any emotion. I could see the love and slight worry in his eyes. I was automatically filled with a sense of dread, as I recalled my latest nightmare. "Do you love me?" He froze immediately. I could tell by the stiffness of his jaw. He opened and closed his mouth several times, looking for the right words I guess.

"I…I…yeah Max. I love you." Those simple three words made my heart soar.

"You wouldn't ever hate me, or hurt me would you? No matter what?"

"I couldn't hate you. And I would never hurt you. I would kill myself if I did." Fang said with a chuckle. I relaxed. I placed my arms around his neck and pulled him forward. Our lips met in a frenzy of love and passion.

I wasn't aware we had been moving until the back of my knees hit my bed. Oh no! We cannot do this now! I mean, I already have his daughter! And there's kids in the--Oh, yeah, they went home... His lips moved down my jawline, where he sucked and bit at the nape of my neck. He pushed me down on the bed while he moved over to the other side of my neck, biting and nipping at it as well. As he lay over me, propping himself up with his elbows, he moved back up my jaw. He stopped at my lips once more. Now, normally, a teenage hormonal guy at this point would begin to remove my top and bra (no offence guys!).

But, Fang just pulled away from me and muttered, "Get some sleep Max" He walked out of my room, leaving me breathless. Remembering the taste of Fang's mouth upon my own, his lips dancing over mine, his tongue teasing my gums, I fell into a peaceful sleep.

3 DAYS LATER

I wiped the last few tears from my eyes. "Wow, I feel…empty. What are we going to do now Fang?" I looked over at Fang flying beside me. We had just brought Nudge back to her parents. Angel and Gazzy had gone yesterday, so it was just us.

"I don't know Max…What do you wanna do?" He replied. I am glad that he is more open now. He speaks more then 2-word replies and he shows a bit more feeling. Maybe he'll open up a bit more now that we're alone…

Aren't you forgetting something Max?

What is it now voice?

You have a child…

Oh My God! Shadow!

Yes Max, isn't it about time that you told Fang?

I was about to reply when Fang called out, "You first!" I looked down and noticed we had arrived at our mountain home. Once inside, we raided the fridge and pantry and then went our separate ways. Well, Fang invited me to go flying with his as he saw a group of eagles flying overhead but I refused, using the excuse that I was tired.

I paced back and forth in my room, thinking over how I would do it.

Should I tell him straightout? Should I introduce him to her and then tell him? Should I tell him then introduce her to him? Ugh, this is all so frusturating!!!

I kicked my bedside table in anger. It was a good thing Fang wasn't here right now. Fang. I love him, I really do! I'm just afraid of what he'll think of Shadow.

The Voice decided to pop in right then. The Voice explained his brilliant plan to me in excellent detail. Sometimes even throwing ideas on what I should say.

Uhhh… Was all I could manage. The voice was telling me things straight off the bat?

But, if Fang ends up, on some small chance, hating Shadow…I'm sorry about that.

Oh, great way to boost my spirits! I retorted. Still, it was a good plan. And if the voice said it would work, I may as well try.

Ugh, ok, fine, I'll go get him now.

Great idea Maximum I scowled at his use of my full name but I ignored him.

I walked out into our yard and when I looked overhead, I could see a group of eagles and one was twice their size…Fang. "Fang! Fang!" I yelled over and over again. I sighed as I thought of the perfect was to bring him down. Oh yeah, air elemental.

As he passed overhead again, I captured him in a swirling tornado. I gentle lowered him onto the ground and he stared at me incredously. "Great was to get my attention." I giggled as I unfurled my wings and jumped a few feet into the air. "Come on Fang, I know just what to do. I want you to meet someone."

A curious look crossed his face for a matter of seconds but he jumped up and followed me off.

Pulling along side me, he asked over the wind, "Where are we going?"

"Arizona!" I simply replied, putting on a blast of speed at the end. Fang chuckled and sped to try and keep up with me.

Well, this is the last real chapter for this story, I'm sorry. Next will be the epilogue and then it's over! If you would like me to begin a sequel, then plz let me know! REVIEW!!!
