Chapter 3 of realizations.

I am so, so, so, so, so sorry! It has been forever since I last posted a chapter and I feel terrible!

Don't hate me please. I know a lot of people say that they are busy, but I really was. In between online courses, a family member passing, my cousins being hectic and coming over, I was extremely swamped. And on top of it all I had MAJOR writers block.

Minicheeta23: I'm workin on it, this one is supposed to be a little more lovey dovey and then more action is to come soon.

Sorry for minor cussing, I just always picture Ig as the cussing type.

So without further – a – do here is chappie 3.

Max POV

We were driving down the deserted road as fast as we could in the jacked up van that we had "borrowed" (hey I was fully intent on bringing it back, just it probably wouldn't happen) could possibly go.

I was sitting in the passenger seat with Fang beside me, gripping the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles were turning white. The kids were in the back trying to stop the bleeding and keeping Iggy alive.

I was the Navigator. What kind of lousy job was that! I should be driving, or keeping Iggy alive, not giving directions to a house I had only been to once. "TURN RIGHT!" I suddenly yelled.

Before he missed it, Fang quickly turned around a sharp corner. He turned to give me his death glare, it was quick but effective, and then turned back to the road.

"Hey Ig? How ya doin' back there huh?" I said turning in my seat.

"'m fine, lemme sid up." He said. That scared me.

I was halfway to restraining Iggy down to the full seat that he took up when Angel said, "Iggy you don't want to do that. You are going to stay here until we get to Dr. Martinez's house."

"'mkay." Since when did Iggy listen to what 6 – sorry 7 year old Angel said? Oh right, when she learned about mind control. I would get her for that later.

"Ok so it's gonna be the 3 on the left, drive way, 2 story." I said to Fang. He nodded, still fully concentrated on the road. As soon as we pulled up into the driveway, the kids litrally flew out of the car and up to Dr. Martinez's door. While they were ringing the bell, Fang and I were trying to figure out a way to carry Iggy.

"Iggy, I have news for you," I said to him.

"Was da news?" he said in almost a drunk sounding voice.

"You're fat." I said smiling. Fang smirked on the other side of Iggy.

"Shut up max. You're not the lightest bird kid in the world." As soon as we got to the door, it opened. Out came Ella.

She looked confused and then saw me. Her eyes instantly brightened. "MAX!" She yelled. Then her eyes slowly passed over Iggy and the brightness dimmed. "Come in quick!" she latched the door behind the kids. "MOM! HELP!" Dr. Martinez came in running with her medical bag, ready to stitch up any wound that Ella managed to get on her accident prone body. Then she saw Iggy, and she began grabbing things.

"Nice to see you Max, now will you please get this young man to sit on the sofa." We did as we were told quickly. Dr. M put on some gloves and got out some stitching gear, and some anesthetic. I have to admit, I was frightened by the sharp things.

"Bird kid?" She asked.

"Bird kid," I confirmed.

"Get all the young ones out. Max you stay. Taller, darker looking gentleman, you stay with us. Ella, you watch the younger bird kids." Dr. Martinez said. Everyone except for Fang, Dr. Martinez, Iggy, and I cleared out. I stood close to Fang, leaning against him while he wrapped his arm protectively around my waist.

I looked up into his beautiful eyes. This was one of those few times that he showed emotion. In his eyes I saw sadness, love, and worry.

"Iggy will be fine. Dr. Martinez knows what she is doing. We will be fine." I said. I meant every word; I also meant other words that only he and I understood through our eye communication.

We glanced over at Iggy, and then quickly decided that we couldn't take it and just continued looking into each other's eyes.

After about 2 hours of surgery Dr. Martinez finally stopped. "He should be fine, he just needs rest. And lots of it. I mean it Max, he needs at least a week here, and I am talking bird kid standards. Normal humans would probably need a month for recovery." Oh she was getting to know me so well. She walked out of the room without another sound.

The soft beeping coming from the EKG that Dr. Martinez had hooked up a long time ago was comforting. Iggy was alive. We had made it in time to save him.

Suddenly I had a startling thought. Where is Total?

Right after I had thought that there was scratching at the front door. I got up to answer it and the first thing I saw was the fuzzy mass of black fur jumping up at me.

"How dare you all leave me at that house? I was waiting for one of you to come in and get me but no! You were getting into a big old van. Before I got out of the house you were already too far away for me to walk to you, so I had to go all hulk and do the jumping thing."

Out of nowhere Angel burst into the room. "TOTAL!" The adorable 7 year old screamed.

"Angel, shhh. Don't wake up Iggy!" I frantically whispered as Fang checked to see that he was still sleeping.

"What happened to Iggy?" Total asked.

"Oh Total, Iggy got hurt really bad. We have to stay here for a week while he sleeps so that we can make sure he is ok." I said quietly. It still hurt. He was the closest thing to a brother I would ever have. I had met him long before I had met anyone except for Fang. Iggy was the best brother anyone could have, he was goofy like a brother should be but he also comforted the kids and me when we were hurt. He would beat anything up if they even touched Angel or Nudge in the wrong way, even though he was blind. He normally won the fights. So can you see why I am sad about my brother?

"Oh geez. I missed a lot." He said. Angel picked him up and they walked away. Angel no doubt just read every one of those thoughts. I turned and hugged Fang. We stood like that for a long time.

Iggy POV

Day two of recovery.

Everything still hurt like hell. It sucked.

I had apparently gained a nurse throughout all of my pain. I met Ella Martinez while she was treating me yesterday. She was kind and she sounded beautiful.

I cursed myself silently for not being able to see. I wanted to see Ella, I wanted to be able to see the color of her hair and how her facial expressions looked. It was a pain in the ass. I heard soft footsteps walk up to the door and I smiled. Ella.

"Iggy? Are you awake?" she asked quietly.

"Ya I'm up." I said smiling in her general direction.

"I just came here to rewrap your bandages." She said smiling shyly.

"Cool." I simply stated. Oh no! I was becoming more like Fang!

"This is embarrassing but I just wanted to know, if you could date anybody, describe the perfect girl - or boy if you swing that way." She quickly added while still wrapping.

"Ha ha! No Ella I am not gay, not that there is anything wrong with being gay. Umm I guess the perfect girl would be… someone like you." Did I just say that? Did I like Ella? Uh ya dumbass something in my head said.

I didn't hear anything for a while. Damn I must have blown it I thought to myself.

"Really?" Ella managed. I nodded encouragingly to her. That's when I felt pressure on my lips. It was Ella's own lips.

She seemed to fit into me as I clung to her slowly asking if I could french her. She agreed enthusiastically and we kissed on. Deeper and deeper we went into the kiss, until finally we pulled apart.

"That was…" she started.

"Amazing?" I asked.

"It was more than that. It was… Exhilarating!" she said. Then she quickly finished my wrapping and whispered a goodbye as she slipped out of the room to leave me at peace to rest. But how could I rest I was far too interested in reminiscing on the time I had just had with Ella.

Fang POV

I was lying beside max on her bed, no you pervs we didn't do anything gross, just happy to be there. Max was currently sleeping making cute have snores. They weren't loud but soft and perfect. She looked so peaceful. It was hard to get her to look like that, as she had so much to stress about lately.

I was just thinking all of things when I heard a loud boom. Max sat up as fast as a see-saw would if a fat guy sat on one end and there was no one on the other end.

"Gazzy." We both said at the same time. We ran down stairs and caught sight of the mess. The whole kitchen was covered with paper, yet no charring today, and it was a plain mess with Gazzy's hair standing up in all directions, angel crying because Gazzy crushed one of her toy's that Ella gave her, and total running around.

"Gaz! You're supposed to be good while we are here! I thought we agreed NO BOMBS!" Max yelled.

"Well you see you really said you didn't want to char this lady's house and so we could only make bombs while outside In the woods. So I made a bomb in the woods that would explode in paper instead of fire so that it wouldn't char the house."

"You and your stupid loop holes. Here is my new rule. No bombs AT ALL until Iggy is fully recovered, and I say he is recovered. GOT IT?" she said to him. He nodded. I picked up Angel and comforted her and then set her down so she could find Total, while Max made Gazzy clean up the kitchen.

When all that was finished, Max signaled with her finger for me to come with her. We flew for miles and miles until we finally got to a big mass of tree's with a clearing in the middle. When we landed Max walked toward me and put her arms around my neck.

I was suddenly enveloped in a kiss. The kiss started off gentle and teasing, and then it got hungry and we became hastier. I moved my hands down and they rested gently on her butt. I gently squeezed and she squeaked but she kept kissing. I took this as a sign and deepened the kiss. In a matter of seconds I was on the ground and we were kissing more. She slowly lifted her shirt and we kissed more. Next I tugged off my own shirt.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I ask her.

"Nope. But I do know I wanted to see your 8 pack." She smiled at me so to tease her I ripped her bra off. Now she was desperately trying to cover up and I was laughing.

"Oh Max, no one cares! It's just me, and besides you wanted to see my abs, I wanted to see your breast. We are even!" then she wacked me with her bra. I tell you that hurts! But she stopped covering herself and we started kissing again. We knew we didn't want to do anything… yet, so we went home.

The first thing that happened was 3 bird kids whining and yelling, "MAX!" well something obviously happened, and I knew one thing:

It is going to be a long week.

No there will be no lemons In my stories but I wanted Fang to act like a real guy and be a little pervish for once so I made him do that. I noticed that up at the top when I was writing type I accidentally hit the o and looked back and it said typo so I'm like "Ain't that the truth!"

So did you guys like my view for Iggy and Ella? Is it ok that Iggy cusses? Tell me I want the truth!

Ok so make sure to review and tell others about my story! Thanks!
