On second thought, this is the last one! I'm tired the poor quality!

Austin by Blake Shelton: Hard to explain… so onwards!

Max's POV:

1 year ago, I left the flock. I left the ones I loved. I was pregnant, and I was scared to tell them; to tell Fang. He was the father. I regret leaving, but my daughter and I are happy where we are. But still, I couldn't help but pick up the phone and dial the number I still knew by heart.

3 rings and the answering machine is what I got:

'If you're calling about a bill, don't waste your breath.

If it's Tuesday night, we're visiting family.

If you want to sell something, get rid of our number.

If it's anyone worth talking to, wait for the tone. You know what to do.

And PS:

If this is Max; we still love you.'

I dropped my phone. I heard the chatter of Nudge, but I couldn't believe it. Why would they still love me? I left without an explanation; without a number. And yet they still want me back? It felt like a dream; like a trap. But something compelled me to call again 3 days later.

I had no clue what I was going to say, but 3 rings later I heard Fang's smooth voice recorded on their answering machine:

'If it's Friday, we're at a baseball game.

And if it's Saturday, we're at the beach.

We probably won't be home until late,

But I'll call you back when I can on Sunday.

And PS,

If this is Max; I still love you.'

My voice was shaky when I left my number, and not another word.

I waited by the phone on Sunday, and when the phone rang,

This is how I answered:

'If you're calling about me heart, it's still yours.

I should've listened to it a little more.

Then it wouldn't have taken me so long to call you up.

And tell you that we need to talk.

And by the way, this is no machine you're talking to.

It's me; Max.

And I still love you too; I love all of you.

*Bangs head against desk* these are getting worse and worse. I'm just glad that I have a few faithful readers. Thanks for all the reviews and the support even thou these are absolute crap! I bid you a final ado, from this fic at least.

Shamefully,
