Sage's POV

Well, it was getting kind of boring just sitting in my room alone, so I decided to go visit Iggy.

I took a left and went down the hall, peeking into every open room until I finally found him.

Unfortunately, my idea to surprise and tackle him wasn't going to work.

He'd heard my footsteps and turned towards the door.

"Who's there?"

"Only me" I said.

"Oh hey Sage! So what do you think of this place?"

"Eh, its okay I guess. Better than living in a cage."

I took a seat next to him on the bed.

"You got that right," he said before pulling me closer.

His touch sent chills up my spine.

"I've been wanting to talk to you. Last time I tried we got kind of side tracked."

We both blushed at the memory of last night in the cave.

"I was wondering if you'd like to be my, um, girlfriend?"

Whoa. Didn't see that coming.

Don't get me wrong. I was ecstatic at this. I'd known Iggy for days, but there was just something about him that I couldn't quite put into words.

I answered him with a kiss.

"I'll take that as a yes."

He then pulled me onto his lap and kissed me again. But this time it was more like the one we'd shared a night ago.

But around the time things were getting good, Max walked in.

"WHOA! Keep it PG guys. Anyway, we have a flock meeting. I've got some pretty exciting news!"

I got up and grabbed Iggy's hand, entwining my fingers in his.

We followed Max into Fang's room which was right next to Iggy's.

Nudge, Gazzy, Fang, Angel, Max, and now Iggy and I were scattered around various spots in the room.

"Okay. I want to tell everyone here something. Now this'll probably affect our lives from this very moment on. Dr. Martinez is my mother, and Ella is my half sister!"

Complete silence.

"How do you know, Max?" asked Nudge.

"Well when Ella was getting you all settled in your rooms, which are now permanent, Mom wanted to talk to me. Turns out I really am a test tube baby. But she took some DNA from a few feathers I'd left behind from my last visit. She said something about me reminded of her, so she did tests on my DNA. I really am her daughter!"

That was a lot of info to take in after only five minutes.

Ella's head popped in.

"Dinner time. Mom made tacos, Max!"

"Mmm tacos! Everyone out of my way!" said Gazzy before plowing through us all.

Iggy's POV

Want a quick recap of the last hour in my life?

I had a girlfriend, Sage, and Max had found her mom.

Oh and we were gonna have tacos for dinner.

We'd found my parents a year before we ended up in New York, and they were total jerks.

They wanted to sell me for money because I had wings.

Everyone was seated around the dinner table, and there was a giant plate of tacos sitting in front of me.

"Mom, we're gonna stay here and settle down," Max told Dr. Martinez

"Oh Max that's great! I'll get all your papers set so that you can go to school when it starts up again,"

"I've always wanted to go to school!" Nudge squealed.

"Dr. Martinez, since you're a doctor I think you know the answer to my question."

"Okay Gazzy. Ask me anything." She said.

Big mistake on her part.

I continued to scarf down my third taco.

"How are babies made? I was just wondering. I mean, the baby has to get into a stomach some how, right?"

Everyone stopped eating.

Fang, Max, Sage and I cracked up.

Ella, Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy must've just sat there because I never heard them laugh.

"No, seriously!" poor Gazzy sounded so innocent.

"Gazzy, we'll talk about that later. If you would like, I can take you all shopping for new clothes. From the look of it, you all haven't changed for a while! I've taken a week off of work to help you get all settled in."

"Mom you are totally the best!"

It was nice to know Max was happy, but it kind of depressed me to know that my parents would never treat me the way Max's mom treats her.
