To all, this is Chapter 17. Expect the next chapters to be longer. Like, 2000k wordS.

*sigh* okay, even though I'm still experiencing the writer's block, I'll still try to make this story a lot more fascinating. I know a lot of you hate me but, I'll still finish this shenanigan no matter what.

Random note: PHYSICS IS FATAL.

Now, on to the reading!

*Max's POV*

Sigh. First day of being a mom in the house. This was a total challenge for me. First, I wasn't used to being a housewife. Second, I HAVEN'T ANY IDEA HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A BABY! And guess what, I HAVE TWINS! Taking care of the flock is way easier than this. My twins were like, the most fragile things I'd ever had. Yes, they were part bird. But that doesn't mean their bones were as hard as ours! And they're vulnerable, couldn't walk, or talk! That means, I would have a hard time figuring out what one wants.

Maxie started to cry. (I knew it was Maxie cause she had light brown wings. Alice had chocolate brown.)

I immediately went to her crib. "Hey, Maxie, what's the problem?"I asked, even though I know she wouldn't answer. She just kept crying for a moment. I just finished feeding her a bottle of milk 10 minutes ago But why was she crying? I had changed her diaper too. I carried her to my arms and she slowly stopped crying. I chuckled. This rascal. I thought it was some kind of a problem. She snuggled to me and closed her eyes with her thumb inside her mouth. I walked towards Alice's crib and saw her awake already. I smiled at her but she frowned. Then her chocolate brown eyes started to water. CRAP.

She started to cry. I found out that she was the silent one, but she's DAMN JEALOUS. JUST LIKE FANG. In a day of taking care of them, I already knew these little things.

"Ohmygod. No, Alice, don't cry."I brushed her thick hair but she still didn't stop. I looked at Maxie, thinking if I should bring her down or not. I decided to just bring her back to her crib. I think she was already sleeping anyway.

I lay her on her side gently And planned to get to Alice, but after a second, Maxie noticed I left her and started to cry.

OKAY, THIS IS GREAT. I thought. I rushed to Alice and carried her on my left arm. NOW HOW CAN I LIFT MAXIE? I asked myself.

"Shshhh Maxie, I'm just here."I said softly but only got a louder cry. I looked at Alice, who was looking at me with those famous "bambi eyes".

HOW IN THE 7TH LAYER OF HELL CAN I WORK THIS ALL OUT?! I bellowed to myself. "Maxie, hey, mommy's just here, look at me."I cooed. Great. She ignored me. Oh God please help me.

"What's going on?"

I turned around and saw Gazzy by the door frame.

"um... Maxie wouldn't stop crying."I answered. THANK YOU GOD! I smiled. "Cause, this jealous one saw me carrying Maxie and started crying. Maxie was asleep a while ago so I lay her back. But then, a second after, she started crying."I explained as Gazzy carefully carried Maxie. Well, I also found out that Maxie liked Gazzy as much as she liked Fang, so she slowly stopped crying. "What are you doing here, by the way? Where's Angel?"I asked as he sat on the bed, swaying Maxie gently in his his arms.

"Well, my classes finished early so I just decided to come over here to check on you. And I think I just became a knight in shining armor?"He kidded and I laughed. "Angel's still in school."

"Yeah. You did. I didn't know what to do anymore."I chuckled. "Thanks for coming over." You want some juice? Or cookies?"I offered, since he just finished school. He probably was tired.

"Sure. Juice and cookies."He said.

"Come on downstairs."I said and went downstairs. I went to the fridge and got the pitcher or freshly squeezed orange juice and the jar of cookies in the cupboard.

I put the pitcher on the granite countertop across from Gazzy and got a glass And a plate for, of course, the cookies.

"So, how's school going?"I asked and got myself a cookie.

"Great. Just a week from the end. Next week would be finals."He answered as he chewed his cookie, carefully so as not to drop crumbs on the sleeping Maxie.

"That's good! Any more news?"I asked again, being suspicious. Last time, the faculty room was filled with stink. Of course, by Gazzy.

"Nothing. You didn't think I did something again, did you, Max?"He snickered.

"Well, I sort of did."I laughed. "Well, last time I checked..."

"Okay Max."He cut me. "I did. But not now. I need to get a better reputation."He said softly, I almost didn't hear it.

"Why so, Gazzy? You're making me curious."I said as I played with Alice.

"Well, there's this girl i like..."He started. I knew it. He didn't come here for no reason. Well, Angel said Gazzy really loved me more than anyone else. I was her mom. And hers too but Gazzy really thought of me as a mom more than as a sister unlike the rest of the flock. Maybe he just need to blurt this out to someone. Not to Iggy, cause I know he would just tease Gazzy. Gazzy needed a serious talk with me. With his mom.

"And she aces her studies. And she doesn't like me cause I, like, always get in trouble." He continued.

"What's her name?"

"Rose. She's cute and smart. I really like her very much."He bowed his head and blushed a slight pink.

I grinned. "That's great. You finally have an inspiration. Don't worry. She'll like you eventually. Just keep away from trouble."I rubbed his arm with my free hand.

"Thanks mom."He said and looked at me with those blue eyes I'd known from the start. "I mean Max."He smiled. I smiled back and pinched his cheek.

"I really appreciate that you go to me to say things."I said, totally switching to sober mode.

"Well, you're the only one I've got. I mean, the only person I know that would understand me."He bit into a new cookie.

I ruffled his hair and looked at him happily. I never expected this. I never expected him to tell me about his crush. I mean, boys are more secretive than girls, right? And they tend to tell their guys friends more. But Gazzy, turned to me. To a girl. And I think that's just sweet.

*Gazzy's POV*

As expected, Max understood me. She didn't embarrass me like Iggy would. Well, I wasn't that close to Fang. Angel knew too but it would be awkward to tell your witty little sister. Besides, I wouldn't get whatever she would say cause she always said deep words.

Maxie stirred in her sleep. I rocked her gently in my arms and she slowly drifted off To sleep again. I was just waiting for Fang before I go home so that Max wouldn't have problems around here like she had before i arrived.

Fang usually arrived around 4pm and it was only 3:30. I would just have to wait for 30 minutes more. Anyway, I liked carrying Max's children. I loved them.

"Gaz, give me Maxie. It's time to change her clothes!"Max called from the bedroom. I was in the living room, watching some cartoons in Disney. Yes, I still watch Disney. I liked Adventure Time.

I went upstairs to Max and gave her Maxie. She lay her on the bed and gently undressed the baby, the right arm first before the left. Then, for the second time, I saw those cute little light brown wings.

"Hey, can you check on Alice? She's in her crib. She might be swimming in her milk now."Max said.

I went to Alice and saw her falling asleep, her head quirked sideways cause the milk bottle was on a small pillow beside hers. She made some cute sucking sounds from the nipple of her bottle. It was entertaining, just watching babies finish their bottles.

After a while, she had already finished the milk and stopped sucking, falling asleep almost immediately. I took the bottle and gave it to Max.

"The silent one's down. Maxie would probably be waking up any minute now."I stated as I watched Maxie yawn cutely. Yep. All the things they did were cute.

"Yeah. This noisy one always wants me carrying her."Max replied. "And the jealous one would see me holding her twin and would start to cry. "She chuckled and brought the baby in her arms.

Maxie opened her chocolate brown eyes and looked at Max.

"Hey Maxie."Max cooed and tickled the baby. The baby squealed happily, showing her gums. (Lol)

"So... Uh... Max? Will you be okay alone now? Fang's going home by this minute anyway."I asked. "I still have a lot of works to do."

"Yep. Thanks for your help Gaz. You're my new knight in shining armor."Max smiled at me, and my heart felt warm. It was a real satisfaction to know that I somehow helped Max. She had been helping me for almost all my life, and now, in some little ways, I wanted to return it. She was my mom, after all.

"Yeah. No problem Max. Just call me if you need help on something, okay?"

"nah. I can managw it. Besides, you have work to do, right?"

"wow. Like I saw you managing fine here awhile ago."I chuckled and brushed my hair with my hand. "Um... I'll go now. Can I use your window instead of going down?"

"Yes sure."Max agreed and I took off from their window, feeling the wind catching my wings. I navigated through the roads and went the opposite if the way to our house. I decided that I wanted to get some food for Angel in some doughnut stall in the city or something.

As I landed on the sidewalk, I saw someone from the corner of my eye. Someone that was too familiar. Like, I hadn't seen in ages. I just shrug it off cause I couldn't remember much. I was still a kid back then.

I got Angel a bag of assorted doughnuts and went home. I liked the view from up here in the sky. I saw the major changes the world had had. I couldn't spot any similarities from the apoclalyptic world from this new world. It was more beautiful. Reminds me of the feeling we had when the school went down.

*Fang's POV*

Getting to our house seemed to be more exciting cause now, I wouldn't be going home to my wife alone. We had kids now. And it was wonderful.

I spotted Max on the bed with Maxie. Or Alice. Okay, I still didn't know which is which.

I kissed Max on her temple and she slowly woke up. She smiled at me, and warmness flooded my body.

"Hey, how's being A mom going?"I asked her playfully.

"Great. It's great."She answered. And then we heard some coos. I walked to the cribs and saw our other baby awake, cooing innocently.

I carried her to arms and kissed her head. It was so nice to hold your own child. The feeling was priceless. It wasn't the same to the other feeling I had felt before. This was a while new one.

Okay! That's it. Your wishes are granted! I updated! Woohoo! Reviews please! It wouldn't hurt!
