Thanks again for all of the reviews. I've been having a busy week and I'm excited that Maximum Ride 4 came out but I haven't been able to read it yet. My Dad ordered it from Amazon and I'm waiting for it to come in so if any of you guys have read it don't tell me what it is about. If you guys read it I hope it is good. Check out my poll if you haven't. Here is the 49th chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 49 Jokes, Presents and Drawing

Fang's POV

Max took hold of Dr. M's gift and started to unwrap it. Dr. M must have taped it well because Max was having trouble unwrapping it.

We waited watching her for a few minutes before she finally got the wrapping paper off. It was a brown box.

"That's the most amazing gift we have ever seen," Gazzy said, breaking the silence.

Everyone burst out laughing; well I only cracked a smile.

After the little laughing fit for the 100th time that night, Max finally opened up the box.

She was trying to irritate us by going slowly. It didn't work on me but it worked on everyone else.

"Max you are going to slow," Ella, Angel, Nudge and Gazzy chimed in at the same time. For some reason Iggy has been pretty quiet since we got home.

I took a quick glance over at him and he was standing next to Gazzy asleep. How could he sleep with all this noise and he is standing?

Max made eye contact with me and had one eyebrow risen. I tilted my head to point at Iggy sleeping.

When all of the interruptions finally died down, Max got back to opening the box. She turned the box around in her hands but she couldn't find an opening. "Mom? How am I supposed to open the box if there is no opening?"

Dr. M had a humongous grin on her face. "You have to figure that out yourself."

Max's smile turned into a frown. She turned her head to look at Angel. She was probably asking how she is supposed to get it open. Angel shrugged her shoulders at Max and Max's face became frustrated.

We all stood there waiting for Max to open up the box when Ella's face lit up. She leaned over to Nudge and whispered something inaudible to her.

Ella turned to Dr. M and held up a finger to her.

While they were gone I felt a quick nudge in my side. I turned to come face to face with Gazzy. "What are they doing?"

I shrugged my shoulders at him. "I have no clue."

Nudge and Ella came back before I had a chance to say anything else to Gazzy.

"Here you go Max." Nudge held out a pocket knife to Max. "Ella came up with the idea; I just helped her find the pocket knife. We were just going to get a sharp knife for you but Dr. M told us earlier that the box was really thick so that it would be harder to guess what was in the box." She opened her mouth to add something else but I glared at her and she immediately closed her mouth.

"Are you going to open it or are you just going to stare at the box until it opens itself," Angel blurted out.

Max rolled her eyes at Angel. "Of course I'm going to open it up but I was just debating on whether or not we should wake Iggy up first."

At the same time we all shouted, "No." Surprisingly enough Iggy didn't wake up. Hmmm, I wonder if he is okay.

After a 10 minute wait, Max finally got to open the box all the way without anymore interruptions.

She made in gigantic hole in the top of the box and pulled out a shiny silver box.

The back of the box was facing me so I was not able to see it.

"What is it Max," Nudge asked while jumping up and down in place with Ella.

Max's mouth dropped before she spoke, "It's…a…cell…phone."

She said the last part so quietly that I had trouble deciphering what she had said.

Max started at it for a few seconds before Nudge shouted out, "What kind of cell phone?" Max looked up and turned the box around. On the box in big letters it said IPHONE.

Max quickly put the box on the couch, jumped up and gave Dr. M a gigantic hug. "Thanks so much."

Dr. M's grin grew. "You're welcome Max. I think that after all that you have been through you deserved something nice to have."

Ella, Nudge and Angel were all jumping up and down now. Gazzy just looked completely bored and he plopped down on the couch.

I took a quick look at the clock and it said 11 o'clock.

Max must have noticed what time it was too because she chimed in, "I think we should have cake and then head to bed but first…" She ran upstairs and was back in a second. In her hand was a big fat washable blue marker.

"What are you going to do with that?" Max's grin grew.

"You will have to wait and see." She walked over to Iggy and started to draw on his face.

She started to draw random squiggles on his face with small stars and hearts.

Without me noticing Gazzy, Angel, Nudge and Ella came into the room with more markers. Gazzy had a green one, Angel a purple one, Nudge a green one and Ella a pink one.

They joined in with Max and kept on drawing. Dr. M and I just stared at the event that was happening right in front of us.

Angel must have noticed that I wasn't joining in because she came over to me and stuck a thick black washable marker in my hand. "Come join us, you know you want to." She grabbed my hand and dragged me over to Iggy.

We all drew at least one thing on his face before we had cake and headed to bed. Before bed I remembered that I have to give Max her gift. After all of the events that took place I almost forgot about it.

Max started to head to our bed in pajamas when I grabbed her hand. "I still have to give you my gift."

There was a glisten in her eyes when I planted a quick gentle kiss on her lips.

I headed over to the closet and took out a small red box for her.

"I picked this out special for you. Hope you like it."

She started to open the box when we were interrupted with a knock on the window.
