Last chapter:

Everyone got out of the car and started to unload their bags, and they started stretching. I helped everyone unload his or her bags, and together, we all walked to the front of the house. I knocked on the door and waited for Fang to open it.

"You didn't bring your keys Max?" Fang asked the moment he opened the door. He took a moment to stare at the flock. "Weren't you guys coming tomorrow?" I was shocked that he knew they coming but didn't think to say anything to me.

"You knew the whole time?" I asked him. He just smirked and motioned for the flock to come in. I was so going to kill him later.

We walked inside, and the flock took in the sight. I forgot that they haven't seen the new house we got when Alexis was two. It looked a bit like Anne's farmhouse on the outside, but it had a grayish siding and nice Georgian windows. The inside was nice although Fang and I had to change the furniture a couple of times like Alexis room and the office. The entrance had glossy wooden floors, curtsy to Fang who polished them last night, and a small, white table which held up a picture of Alexis, Fang, and me smiling at an amusement park near downtown. Nudge turned to look at the photo which caught her eye.

"Aww. You guys look so cute." Nudge squealed." Where did you guys go? I was thinking of visiting an amusement park near our home, but I don't know if I would have enough time. We should totally visit the one near downtown,I-"Iggy put his hand over Nudge's mouth. Geesh, I almost forgot how much Nudge would talk. Iggy took his hand off of Nudge's mouth; she glared. It's amazing how it has been almost 15 years, but nothing has changed.

Out of the corner of my eyes I saw a movement on the banister. Leaning on it, Fang smirked looking at the flock, and with him, Alexis who didn't look sick at all, was staring with her big, brown eyes. I glared at Fang, upset that he left me to deal with the flock and that he got our daughter to be a part of this evil plan. Shaking my head, I picked up the nearest suitcase and placed it near the stairs. I saw Nudge do the same as she took her oversized, purple sparkling suitcase and placed it carefully at the end of the stairs. The rest of the flock followed, and after all the bags were near the steps, I called Fang down to bring them up into the guest room.

Hearing his name, Fang grunted and silently walked down the stairs, slowly as if to annoy me. When he finally reached the bottom step, he smirked, again, and continued to carry the suitcases up the stairs. As Fang carried the bags, the flock was talking, full of energy. Angel and Nudge were remembering old times while Nudge gushed over baby Tyler. Gazzy and Iggy were talking about gosh knows what. The children found the TV in the living room, and they were shouting about who should get the remote. Alexis, who was now looking between the brown bars of the banister, stared at me.

~Who are these people, mommy?~ She said in my mind. Yep, in my mind. My daughter was a mind reader like Angel. Imagine how annoying it is to have a four years old hear your thoughts.

~Their my friends. Come and meet them.~ She walked downstairs and clung to my side. Almost immediately, Nudge squealed then walked over to hug Alexis, just like her father, she stiffened. Thankfully, Nudge let go before Alexis could get a chance to kick Nudge in the thighs. Angel came over and gave Alexis a hug then she kneeled to be eye level with Alexis. She stared for a moment before laughing at the horrified expression Alexis had on her face. Angel shook her head still smiling widely.

"I guess you don't like hugs too." Angel said. Alexis nodded then moved silently back to my side. Angel turned to look at me. "I guess she doesn't like to talk much either." I laughed then forced Alexis off my side, almost dragging her to meet Iggy and Gazzy. I succeeded in getting her to where Iggy and Gazzy were talking; Alexis glared at me then she crossed her arms around her chest.

After most of the introductions where done, I made Fang go to get more groceries because with eleven Avian-Americans ,the amount of food I had my refrigerator would not last for the rest of the month. Iggy wrote a groceries list and the rest of the flock followed him to the store, leaving me to watch the children. Great.

When they left, heard an explosion coming from the living room. Rushing there, I saw a sight that got my blood boiling. My living room was destroyed. The couches were overturned and the coffee table was spilt in half. The back wall had a huge hole on the back of it , and the ceiling was starting to crumble. Luckily, the TV wasn't damaged. I turned to look at the culprits: Aaron and Nate. After taking a deep breath, I asked Nate to tell me what happened.

"It was an accident, Aunt Max." Nate said. "We were trying to see if we could blow up the coffee table, but we had too much TNT." I sighed. Typical of Iggy's children, luckily Macy didn't have any interest in blowing my furniture up.

"Where did you get the TNT anyways?" I asked them. The boys glanced at each other then,at the same time, they shrugged their shoulders and gave a nervous half-smile.

"I'm not allowed to tell." Aaron said. "Daddy said-" Nate elbowed his younger brother. "OW!" What was that for? I'm telling dad that you punched me." Aaron walked away. Nate frowned.

"I did not! Why am I always the one to get in trouble?" Nate complained. He huffed then ran off to find his brother. I scanned the room, my eyes searching for anything valuable that was unharmed.

"You missed a spot mommy." I heard Alexis say behind me. I turned towards her silently asking her to tell me what I missed. She tapped my nose. Immediately, I felt something cold on my nose. As my finger started to we the stuff off my face, Alexis giggled. My finger revealed that I had pink icing on my nose. I laughed and licked my finger. Alexis raised her hand to show more icing. I shook my head. I raised my hand in a disapproving way then ,at the last second, I started to tickle her Belly. She giggled even harder, almost shreikng, with her smile being contagious as I had started to laugh with her. "Stop,stop. It tickles, mommy." She said while laughing. "I'm–hehe–sorry for the icing." I shook my head, laughing at the pout that she now had on her face.

"I love you, sweety, but I can let you off that easy. I'll tell you what, I won't tickle you if you help me get revenge on your daddy." I told her. She stared at me for a moment, her dark brown eyes wide as she looked at me confused at what I was saying. "Do you know how daddy got you to help him bring the flock here?" She nodded as she looked down, shyly at her feet. "Well, mommy didn't know about it until your Uncle Iggy called this morning. So, I think it would be fun to play a little prank on daddy to teach him that it's not okay to tell me about the flock coming to town." She smiled for a millisecond before a worried expression came on her face.

"Will daddy be mad at me?" She said in a small voice. "I don't want to do it if he won't love me anymore." I looked at Alexis, bending down to be at eye level. Taking both of her hands in mine, I studied the uneasy feeling that was written on her face.

"Alexis, no matter what, your dad and I will always love you. Nothing will ever change that, I promise you." She nodded. "Besides daddy always likes a joke now and then." She laughed.

"I hope daddy will like the joke that we'll play on him." She said. She whispered a plan in my ear. We both laughed. I couldn't wait to see the look on Fang's face when we pull this prank on him.

We kept laughing until I heard the front door slam. On alert, I tapped Alexis on the shoulder, a sign for her to hide and to be ready for danger. Silently, I walked over to the front entrance. Standing there with a goofy smile on his face was Ryan. I raised an eyebrow at him. What in the world does this kid want?
