~*~*~*~*~*2 weeks later*~*~*~*~*~
For the first time in ever, Iggy was in the kitchen, cooking breakfast for everyone. Angel was the next one up. She was grinning ear to ear, and skipping.
"What's up, Angel? Haven't seen you this happy since... At least six months." Iggy asked, simmering bacon on the stove.
"One, we are having an actual breakfast. Two, I found Celeste. Three, this'll be the first day Max's been out of been since she been home." Angel said, her voice hyper and happy. She plopped down in her seat and grinned.
"Oh yeah, today marks two weeks since Dr. Martinez said, she was confined to the bed." Iggy said, as he flipped bacon onto a plate.
"Yeah! That means that we can start planning how to ger Nudge back! It's wonderful!" Angel squealed. She had color in her face, and she had that big six (seven) year only smile on her face.
"I've been missing Nudge..." Iggy said, as he started another batch of Bacon.
There was an awkward silence, then heavy footsteps came from the stairwell behind Angel.
"Hey, Angel, Iggy." Max said, as she walked into the kitchen.
"Max!" Angel popped out of her seat, and jumped onto Max's arm.
Max laughed, and hugged Angel. You are just to cute! Max exclaimed in her head, where Angel could hear.
"Thanks." Angel said. She pulled Max's arm oer to the table, and sat back in her seat. "Sit by me!" she said, smiling.
"Okay, honey." Max smiled and sat by Angel. She looked up, "Hey, Iggy what are we having for breakfast?"
"Bacon, eggs, omelets, sausage, and pancakes." Iggy said. "10 helpings. Two for everyone. And then I'm going to just make some omelets for Dr. Granner and Dr. Martinez."
"Sounds good. It'll be the first time that we haven't eaten taken out. I'm kinda surprised. Did you guys live on that while I was gone?" Max asked, trying to make it funny.
"Actually, usually it was only me and Gazzy that ate. Nudge refused to touch her food for a while, and Angel would eat sometimes. Fang always looked sick." Iggy said, as he started making eggs in another pan.
"Oh. Well, I'm here now, and we'll have Nudge back soon, and we can go back to our small mutant family. Don't worry." Max smiled and out her arm around Angel, squeezing it lightly.
Angel leaned in, so she was laying down on Max's side. "I won't. With you around, I won't." Angel murmured, softly.
