(FANG POV) (OMG i luv him!)

What the hell was up with her? And this cologne was a joke. Right? Because I hope it is. I don't smell...Do I?

I walked to Max's bed and sat down. (I was tired, anyways.) Where was she? And sometimes I wish I had Angel's mind reading ability. Then I could tell if Max was lying, or where she really was going or, most importantly, whenever she just stares out into nowhere, or when she stares at me. What's going on in that head of hers?

The thoughts ran around and around in my head until I fell into a dreamless sleep on Maximum Ride's bed.


(MAX POV)

Okay, first thing to do, is put up mind blocks. I thought. I can't go running around again scarring a 9 year old's mind. This is the second time in my life I've had to do this, and last time didn't end so well. So I'm kinda nervous, as you can see.

I did my business (A/N: no details, you perverts! :P) and waited. Two minutes felt like an eternity. My whole life is either going to go in one direction or another, depending on what this cheap thing says.

One minute.

I started hyperventilating (A/N: oooh, big word!) How much longer? This was pure torture.

Thirty seconds. I put the test on the table, facedown. I didn't want to see it yet.

I took like twenty or thirty deep breaths until i finally worked up the nerve to build up the courage to turn the test over. Remember, Max, a plus sign means positive, and a minus sign means negative. Of course I knew that, but it felt a little better reviewing it.

I turned the test over and gasped.

A red plus sign sat there, as if mocking me and my totally screwed up life.

And one thing ran over and over in my mind.

I was pregnant with Ari's kid: What the hell was I supposed to do?


(Fang POV)

I groggily opened my eyes and sat up. Why hadn't Max woken me up? I looked over to her alarm clock on her nightstand. 3:00A.M. Where was Max?

Now fully awake, I got up and walked over to the bathroom. I grabbed the knob and turned. It was locked. Why?I kicked the door down. I didn't care, Max could be in there for all I knew...And she was. Curled up on the floor, hair matted and in knots, in a fetal position. I bent down and shook her awake.

"Max," I pleaded. "Wake up."

"Huh?" She said slowly. She opened her eyes to see me. She groaned and flicked them shut. She turned to her other side and mumbled something that sounded like 'No.' over and over. There was a crumpled piece of plastic near her hand.

"Max? What's this?" I really hope it wasn't a...tampon or something. Ugh. If it was...I just can't handle that. Can't.

Suddenly she jumped up and said, "Fang! I can't do this! Not again! Not again..." She fell into my arms and sobbed weakly.

I took her to her bedroom and sat her down. "Max. Tell me what's going on." I thought then I added, "Are you okay?"

She burst into tears. "No, Fang. I'm not okay, I'm pregnant."

I froze. "What?"

"You heard me," She closed her eyes and whispered. "Im pregnant with...with Ari's kid." Then she exploded. "What the hell am I supposed to do, Fang? Help me! I-I can't have Ari's kid, I can't..."

I was still frozen. Bastard. He's going to die by my hands, and he's gonna have a long painful death. I'm not allowing this, I'm the only person that has permission to have Max. She's mine, and I'm not willing to share. She can't keep the kid. I've always dreamed that the only children that she'll be having are mine.. And that she wants to have them.

"Max, we'll find something. I promise." I scooped her up into my arms bridal style and she laid her head againt my chest.

I walked down the steps and stopped. Everyone was at the bottom of the steps, even Total.

Iggy spoke for everyone. "What's going on? What's wrong with Max?"

"I'll explain later. We're going to Dr. Martinez." I said, ran out, and swooped into the sky.

Usually I love flying. Especially next to Max. She would occasionally brush up against me or do little spins in the air, a blissful look on her face the whole time. Her happiness was my happiness. And that was it.

I dropped down and went into Dr. Martinez's house. I didn't care that it was 3 A.M. I needed to see her now. Imediately.

I burst throught the door, feeling everyone silently walking behind me. I told Nudge to get Max's mom and she went upstairs.

I walked to the bathroom and held Max close. She was staring into space. Probably in shock. She twitched and lurched out of my arms and was suddenly violently sick in the toilet. I held up her hair.

"Shhh, you're okay. We'll figure something out...everything is fine." I whispered to her and stroked her head, her hands, anything I thought would be comforting to her.

Dr. Martinez walked in and said, "Max?" she looked at me and mouthed "What?"

"I-I can't tell." God, that sounded like a kindergartener. "Max will tell you." I got up and started for the door.

Max snapped. "No! Fang! Stay here. I-I need you." she pulled me down and glued me to her side.

Dr. Martinez asked, "Guys, what the hell is going on!"

I nudged Max. "Tell her."

She took a breath and motioned for her mom the come closer. "I-I'm pregnant." she took another shaky breath. "...With Ari's child."


I'm evil aren't I? I can't even dream about Max having Ari's kid. Can You?

Haha! I'm gonna make you wait! :P

Am I evil or what?
