Internets Down, so I can't tell how many viewers I have at this point, but I'm really hoping for at least five more reviews by the time my internet works. I'm going to send this to my friend so that she can go on my profile to update it. Thank you for all your support!

Ari was pissed at this point, and to be honest we all where. I didn't know what to do…

"Ari's not trapping me anywhere. I am staying with him willingly, so calm the (insert a curse word here) down, Fang. God, what's with you?" I wanted to just scream in his face. Man, if I knew this was going to happen, I never would have come.

Max, is that true? You still would have come to see me, right? It was Angel, thinking towards me in a sad tone. Oh, she'd been listening the entire time.

Yes, of course, sweetie. I will always want to see you. Now, can you give Fang and me a little privacy, please? Then, when you come back, I'll play with you and do your hair, okay? I thought towards her. I couldn't send my own thoughts, but she could listen to them…

Okay! And that was it. Okay, now back to business.

"Well, first of all, you disappear for two months, then you come back to tell me that you're pregnant with the enemy's baby! And, you got married without telling us! My god, Max! What did you expect?" He asked, and I muttered, "Not this."

Fang's POV

"Ari's not trapping me anywhere! I'm staying with him willingly, so calm the (Your curse word here) down, Fang! God, what's with you?" She was very close to screaming, and I was sort of shocked. What was with me?

"Well, first of all, you disappear for two months, then you come back to tell me that you're pregnant with the enemy's baby! And, you got married without telling us! My god, Max, what did you expect?" I was SO angry. She muttered something like, "Not this." Under her breath, and I realized it wasn't exactly he fault for the pregnancy part. I mean, I'm sure she didn't try to get knocked up by that maniac.

"Well, for the first time, is our very own Maximum Ride speechless? Amazing!" I said, a little sarcastic. She scowled at me, and then… started to cry. Was I really that mean?

"It's okay, Max. He's just overreacting. It's fine." Ari said, speaking for the first time. He was comforting a now-crying Max. How many times had I seen her cry? Once, maybe twice? It took a lot to make her cry, and now, here she was, crying, because of me. Ari put his arms around her, and tried to stop her tears, but couldn't. Ugh.

"Max, I…I'm sorry. I didn't mean it, honestly…" I said, feeling really bad. I made the love of my life cry.

"Y-yes you d-did. You know you did!" She stuttered, still crying. She wiped the tears away, and whispered something to Ari, and he took his arms off of her, and took a small step back.

"Well, I meant some of it, but not all of it. I'm just angry, and shocked, and I was taking it all out on you. I'm glad you came back. Really, I am. I'm just not too thrilled about who you came back with." I said honestly. I really did miss her. "But I'm guessing your just visiting." She nodded.

She put one hand on her little belly bump. "Well, I'm going to have a little one to take care of." She walked over to me, and put my hand on her belly. Nothing happened, but then I felt a little nudge on my hand. I actually smiled at that. That was Max's baby in there.

Max's POV

I walked over and put Fang's hand on my belly. A few seconds later, the baby kicked, and Fang smiled. Maybe he wasn't mad after all.

"So… what do you think of my little baby?" I asked, hoping that he forgave me. He was still smiling at my stomach.

"Amazing. Wait, is it going to be part Eraser?" Fang asked, and then it hit me. I'd never thought of that, and what if it was. It would be really hard to deliver if it were an Eraser-baby. I looked over at Ari, and apparently he was thinking the same thing. For Fang's sake, I would lie.

"Um… well, I'm thinking that if it is, it will be more like me, because I'm the mother. I mean, I'm no expert, but that's my thought." I said, hoping he would be satisfied with that answer.

"Huh." He said, and took his hand off of my belly. I smiled at him reassuringly, and stepped back.

"You're going to be its uncle, you know. Uncle Fang." I said, and he smiled again, happy to be a part of the baby's life. I stepped back, and said, "Okay, so, are we good?" and he nodded. "And what about you two?" I asked, pointing at Fang and Ari. Ari nodded, and Fang hesitated.

"I don't know…" He said, and I frowned. Ari also frowned at Fang's hesitation. "Go and talk to him, and I'll go catch up with the other's." I whispered, only loud enough for him to hear. "Are you sure you'll be alright?" He whispered back, and I nodded.

Ari's POV

I watched as Max walked away. My sweet Max. I hoped she would be okay, but let her go, because she wanted me to talk to Fang. If it made her happy, I would.

"Fang, meet me half way here. I'm willing to put the past behind us. Now, are you?" I asked, hoping it would be that easy. But, of course not.

"Why should I? You and I both know that you've tried to kill us several times. Why would I just let it go and 'put it behind me'? And, as much as I already hated you, now I hate you even more." He said, and I wondered if being stubborn was a bird-kid thing.

"I know that I have harmed you, Max, and the entire flock, but I am not that person anymore. I love Max. What did I do to make you hate me more than you did?" I asked, trying to figure out what I could do to make this work.

"Hmm, let me think. Well, first you kidnapped Max, then made her marry you, and, oh, yeah! You got her pregnant! How could I not be mad, when I loved her, too? And she loved me back, until you stole her away from me." He said, angry again. Great.

"I didn't mean to get her pregnant, you know. It wasn't just a way to keep her with me, if that's what you're thinking. If she'd told me she didn't want to be with me, I would have let her go. But, she didn't, and I didn't force her to marry me. I proposed the normal way, and she said yes." I said, not bragging, but reassuring him. He looked at me.

"I just wish I could have had my fair shot with her. But now, it's too late. And I don't think I want to forgive you." He said. Like I was such a huge fan of him. I was doing this for Max! That's it!

"Okay, so you don't forgive me. You have every reason to be mad. I'm not even very happy about Max being pregnant, but I do everything I do for Max. I am meeting you half way, for Max. Now, if you could do the same, it would make her very happy. Isn't that what you want? Max's happiness?" I asked, and he realized that I was right.

"Fine. But just for the sake of Max's happiness." He said, hating to have to forgive me.

"Thank you. Now, let's go find everyone." I said, walking to the edge of the cave and leaping off. I opened my wings, and flapped with all of my power. Poor Max, having to fly while she was pregnant. I hoped she was being careful.

When I was high up, I could see them, surrounding something. I swooped down, and landed. Everyone looked at me, and Fang was next to me in a short second.

"What are you looking at?" I asked, and they stepped away from whatever was on the ground. Then, I realized that the thing was Max, and I rushed towards her. I kneeled down next to her and checked for a pulse. She was unconscious.

"What happened?" I asked, about to kick the ass of whoever hurt my Max.

"She got shot. But just in her wing. She dropped out of the sky too fast for us to catch her, and hit her head on this rock. She's unconscious right now, but she should be fine. We're a little worried about the baby, though." Said the little one, Angel. I was horrified.

"Who shot her, and what can I do to help her?" I asked urgently, looking for the spot where she got hit. I saw it, and it was horrible. There was blood all around it, and the bullet was still in the beautiful wing. I gently pulled out the bullet, and ripped off a piece of my shirt, to put over the wound.

"Well, you can bring her to her mother…" Said Fang. I turned towards him, and asked, "Where does her mom live?" I asked, hoping that her mom could help.

"I'm not going to tell you, but, I'll bring you there. Iggy, you're in charge while I'm gone. DON'T do anything stupid!" He nodded, and Fang gestured for me to follow him. I did, and within seconds, we were flying. We flew for about six hours, and then landed in the woods, some place. Fang walked forward until a small house came into view. He knocked on the door.

"Fang how nice to see you, where's Ma-" She stopped, looking at the barely-conscious Max in my arms.

"What happened? Is she okay?" She asked, and I stepped forward.

"She's been shot, and right now, she's hardly conscious. We were hoping that you could help." She nodded weakly, and Max opened her mouth as if to say something, and then closed it.

"Mom?" She whispered. I brought her over to her mom, and her mom touched her forehead.

"I'm here, Max. I'm going to make you better." Her mom took her out of his hands and invited them in. Fang and I sat down at her kitchen counter, while Max's mom ran some tests.

"What's her name?" I asked, just in case I needed to talk to her.

"Who, Max's mom? Dr. Martinez. She is a vet, and she has a daughter named Ella." Fang informed me, and I nodded. After about an hour of tests and other medical things, Dr. Martinez came back.

"She's fine and completely conscious now, but, did you know that she's pregnant?" Asked Dr. M, and I frowned.

"Yes, we knew, and we're worried about the baby." I said, remembering that when she fell, the baby might have been harmed.

"Well, the baby is in perfect health, and so is Max. Who is the father, though?" She looked worried, probably because she didn't want it to be me.

"Uh, I am." I said, and she actually looked a little relieved. "We got married, and on the honey-moon, Max took a pregnancy test, and it came up as positive." I told her. She looked even more relieved that I'd said we were married.

"Oh, good. I thought that she might have been raped. Uh, are you, by any chance, an Eraser?" She asked, and I nodded. She nodded to herself and thought for a moment.

"Well, Eraser's grow very fast, and are more aggressive than humans; it might not take nine months for the baby to be fully developed. The baby looks like it is about two months old. Is this correct?" She asked and I thought. No, it had definitely not been two months.

"No, maybe three or four weeks, but no more than that." She looked amazed.

"Okay, so I'd give the baby about five months, and it should be fully developed by then. Oh, and, Max can go home now. She just needs lots of bed-rest."

"Of course. Where is she?" I asked, ready to get her back home. Just then, Max came walking out. She looked just fine. Except for her wing…
