Fang POV

We were sitting in the porch of my house. Lissa turned to me. "They grow up so fast."

"I know, they were raised well." I patted her knee affectionately.

Lissa smiled. "Thanks! I try! It's hard work raising kids." She sighed dramatically. "You aren't so bad a dad."

"I was talking about the mother. You know, Max?" I said sarcastically. "My wife?" Love of my love...soul mate... "And thanks, i know I'm great."

Lissa grinned. "I thought you were talking about my kids."

I rolled my eyes. "Your kids are okay I guess."

"Hey!" Andrew, Lissa's son huffed. He ran over. "Mom! Angel is being a meanie!" he complained, referring to Max's and my daughter. "She hit me!"

"Angel!" I scolded. "No hitting anyone. Apologize to Andrew!"

She looked at me innocently and turned to Andrew. "Sorry." Angel didn't sound very sorry, but I let it go.

The door behind me opened and Max came out and kissed my forehead from behind.

"Hey," I murmured. She squeezed in beside me and scooted Lissa over.

"I heard Nudge got a job as a model." Max said to me as she hoisted our other daughter Crescendo onto her lap.

"Yeah and I head Ella has a job as a hairdresser." I replied.

"Yeah, Nudge's." Max laughed.

Lissa said, "I heard one of Anne's kids is working in the military!"

"That'd be Gazzy." Max rolled her eyes.

"And Iggy." I added. "He phoned me about a month ago. He's bomb maker or something with Gazzy. In charge of guns...something like that. I honestly forget."

Max feigned a hurt look. "My best friend got into the military and didn't tell me?!"

Lissa grinned and mentioned, "What about Angel?"

Max smiled. "She's finishing college. I guess Gazzy didn't do college being in the military and all."

We drank lemonade and ate the cookies Angel had made with Lissa. Max and I were less than great cooks. Though Max could now make slightly less burnt pancakes, and I didn't burn water. We usually order in for meals or go out. Max's job brings in quite the cash.

After about twenty minutes, Lissa walked away and got her two kids Andrew and Sasha. "We'll be going now!" she called.

Max, Crescendo, Angel and I yelled good bye.

"Well," Max said, "where's Nick?"

I stood up, "I'll check on him, you stay here. "

I headed inside and up the stairs into the nursery where our youngest was. Nick was sleeping peacefully in his crib, so I just sat in the rocking chair and watched him.

He took her hand and started to cry again. As he pulled her towards him, he felt something beating in her chest.

"Max?" he whispered hopefully.

"Faaaang...?" Max moaned. "Everything hurts."

"Sssh, don't talk." Fang called for a doctor. "SHES AWAKE!"

"Fang, tone it down." Max groaned. She wiped her face.

Doctors ran in and pushed Fang out of the way.

"Sorry son, we need you to get out." a doctor apologized. "We'll call you after the parent arrives."

So Fang waited it the waiting area, along with the rest of the flock. Max's mom, Fang's mom and Gazzy and Angel's parents were all there, looking worriedly at Fang.

"What was that all about?! A bunch of doctors ran in! We heard the beeping!" Valencia was panicking. She was normally such a laid back person. Fang guess this made everyone high strung.

"her heart starting beating again!" Fang cried out. Everyone started crying and Valencia hugged him.

"It was you wasn't it?" she smiled a watery smile.

"Huh? what did I do?"

"Did you talk to her or something?"

"I hugged her..." Fang said.

"I like to think she came back because of your touch." Valencia hugged him again, then hurried into the room to see her daughter.

Fang smiled. Everyone joined in as a group hug. Everything was going to be okay.

And all was okay. We had a wonderful family, Max was a writer and I was a stay at home dad. Max always complained that she always got the money for us, but I knew she was glad someone was taking care of the kids.

Brigid was still a hairdresser. Our family hair dresser actually. She was okay with our relationship, she along with Nudge and Ella were the ones that primped Max up at our wedding.

Lissa as you probably guessed married Sam. She had explained everything to him and he took it well. Max was her Maid of Honor and she let Max wear pants. Though she had to have make up put on her. She had Andrew and Sasha and they were a great family.

As parents, we were all young. But we were good parents! I smiled as I headed back downstairs.

Max was sitting on the couch, watching a documentary on amnesia and other forms of memory loss. She looked up as I came down the stairs.

"Ironic huh?" she laughed as I nuzzled her hair.

"Very." I agreed. "How'd it feel being dead?" I asked softly.

Max stilled under my lips. "I felt like I was underwater. Like a tsunami hit or something. I felt barely there and I could hear voices. I guess that was before my heart stopped because it was you. I heard your story and was trying so hard to get to you to apologize for assuming the worst and for running away. When my heart stopped, I felt myself freeze and was being pulled downwards. Then the pulling stopped and I felt warm arms bring me back."

I was quiet. "It was you." she smiled. "You brought me back."

"I'd go to hell to bring you back." I vowed. "I'd jump off a cliff for you."

"Thats a little random." Max laughed. Just then the door bell rang.

"Doors open!" Max yelled. "It's Ella," she assured me.

Not only was it Ella, it was Iggy, Gazzy, Angel and Nudge.

"It's your birthday!" Ella sang, her arm around Iggy. They were engaged to get married in two months.

Max frowned. "It is?"

Iggy rolled his eyes. He picked her up and spun her around. "My bestie forgot she invited us all? And she forgot her birthday!"

I was indignant. "I was her bestie first!"

Iggy rolled his eyes again. "Whatever Fang, whatever."

Max smirked. "I've been busy writing. Guess i forgot the date. Oh and Iggy's my bestie, Fangs my husband."

"And bestie," I put in. She just chuckled.

"How does the Angel Experiment sound as a title?" she asked everyone.

"Sounds interesting!" Ella piped up.

We all ate cake and Angel, my kid, hugged Aunty Ella. Crescendo watched Nudge in awe as Nudge showed her how to French braid. Nick was fast asleep in Angel, the older one's, arms.

And Max and I just smiled to each other and she rested her head on my shoulder. This was a moment I would never forget. Even if Max slugged me.

Gosh, it's been so long! I'd love to thank those that favourited and followed and such. All reviewers will be thanked. Just a chapter with all those that reviewed. Thank you so much for all your support.

Please keep reading: I was thinking of doing a one shot of Max and Fang's wedding. Please tell me what you think about that, I don't want to write a story no one wants. I'll see you in the very last chapter/thank you.
