The Life of M.R.
Hey everyone, I guess I'm sort of kind of losing interest in this fanfiction and might discontinue it…I don't know, if you have any ideas then inbox them to me! I might also try to find a way to end the story as quickly as possible.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Maximum Ride or any of its characters.
CLAIMER: I do own the fanfiction plot line and any self made characters.
My mum has already been in the hospital a few days and I've already read quite a few entries in the little notebook she had and I was now at the one where the flock was flying to the wedding of Ratchet and Kate at the old hawk cave.
"So mum, when are you going to explain this all to me?" I asked my mom.
"Dawn, quit asking that question and keep reading." My mum said annoyed. I sighed and began reading.
Today the flock and I would be taking off for Ratchet and Kate's wedding. Everyone was all dressed up in the dress or suit they had gotten and were also all carrying a small supplies bag with a cell phone, some money, and a few granola bars. I did a quick scan of my flock and nodded. We all then walked into the backyard of our house and took off into the morning sky.
Awhile later we landed at the opening of the old hawk cave and my mind was quickly flooded by old memories. I shook away the thoughts and looked around. A simple flower arch was set up and there were a few chairs set up for everyone. It was an extremely simple wedding. I could hear vaguely familiar voices from inside the cave.
"Wow, 4 years and this place still looks the same." Gazzy said with a grin, following the many hawks flying through the canyon with his excited eyes.
"So you're finally here." Said a very familiar voice as the source of the voice landed in front of us. The source of the voice looked pretty much the same as they had 3 years ago, if anything their hair had gotten longer and shaggier. The source of the voice wasn't alone. Landing beside them was my clone, Maya, who had changed a lot since we last saw her. Instead of having a simple magenta streak through her hair she now had her hair dyed bleach blonde with a series of colourful highlights. I also took into note that her hair was choppily layered and she had a nose stud.
"Fang!" Angel and Nudge squealed in excitement as they rushed to the source of the familiar voice. Fang's face broke out into a grin as he hugged the 10 and 16 year olds and took in the sight of their dresses.
"You've both grown so much." Fang sighed happily.
"Well no kidding, you haven't seen us for 3 years." I say coldly with my arms crossed. Angel's brow furrows as she looks at Maya.
"Maya, you and Fang are having a baby?" Angel asks curiously, brows still furrowed. Maya smiles and puts her hand protectively on her abdomen. I studied her more closely and noticed that the frills on her dress hid the decently sized bump. Fang grins but quickly drops it as he sees my face. I was just about ready to go insane or pass out. Either would work, though I'm sure that punching Fang's face in would be more fun.
"Yeah hun, Fangy here and I are going to have twins in about 6 months." Maya says happily to Angel who had her ear pressed to Maya's belly. Dylan glanced at my face and must've seen the steam rolling out of my ears. He quickly looked at Angel and must've sent her some crazy thought because all of a sudden she stood back from Fang and Maya with a big smile.
"That's great! Now we're all going to be one big happy family!" Angel exclaims. Fang and Maya give her confused looks and Angel's smile gets bigger. "Max and Iggy are engaged, and since Iggy is like your brother, Fang, that'll make you and Max in-laws!" Angel suddenly states. She sends me, Nudge, and Iggy thoughts of, 'It's Dylan's idea, just go with it. This could be fun!' Iggy had no problem going with it since he suddenly had his arm snaked around my waist and had kissed my forehead. It took every ounce of my will not to slap him. Fang and Maya stared at us shocked.
"Yep, it's true. Maxie and I are due to get married in a few months." Iggy says with a mischievous grin. Iggy then winks at Fang and Maya. "Max is also quite the little sex monkey!" My cheeks burn and I inconspicuously begin grinding Iggy's foot into the ground with my heel.
"Wow, mum, what the hell? Who's Iggy and why'd he call you a sex monkey? Why can't you just explain this all to me?" Dawn whined to me.
"Goddamnit Dawn! Just keep reading the notebook!" I exclaim, highly annoyed at my 36 year old daughter. She just looks and sighs at my 68 year old self. Yep, I, Maximum Ride, have gotten old and very sick. Dawn stares at the notebook and starts reading again.
Fang also blushes slightly at Iggy's comment and Maya's eyes widen.
"Well erm…that's great. I'm happy for you two." Maya says with a smile.
After Iggy's sex monkey comment the rest of the wedding/party went on with pretty much fake-conversation between me and anyone from Fang's group, including Fang. Angel, Nudge, and Gazzy on the other hand were enjoying every minute of seeing Fang. Iggy and Dylan ended up hanging out most of the time with Star and Holden. Dylan seems to have taken a liking to Star.
At some point Fang asks to speak with my alone. Not really caring, I go with him. He ends up leading me to a different cliff in the canyon and we start talking.
"So you and Iggy…?" Fang asks me casually with a bit of a smirk.
"Yeah, there a problem with that; because it's not like I'm dating my ex-girlfriend's clone and also expecting not one, but two babies with them." I say smugly.
"Maya might look like you, but she is nothing like you, Max." Fang says sharply. His obsidian eyes cutting into me.
"Whatever, nice to know that you know how to use protection…Oh wait, you don't!"
"Mmmm, this from the 'sex monkey', that's just rich."
"Well who's the one here expecting children?" I remark. Fang drops the topic.
"Anyways, I can't believe you agreed to show up."
"I only did for the flock. For some reason they still adore you."
"Not all the flock does, in fact they don't really…at least not as much as they used to."
"Well what do you expect, Fang? You walked out on us almost 4 years ago without anything but a letter. You can't possibly expect everything to be fine."
"Whatever. I know that you and Iggy aren't actually together, by the way. Angel sent the thought of it to me after reading my thoughts."
"Why would she do that?"
"I don't know, guess she just thought that my thoughts were worthy of knowing the truth."
"Are you sure it wasn't because she felt bad for you?" I said with a sarcastic pout.
"Yeah I'm quite sure. So tell me, how has the flock been?"
"Just fine…though I do still find Angel at night some times, crying in her sleep and whispering your name. Also, Gazzy now has even bigger trust issues." Fang takes what I said into consideration.
"How have you been, Max?" His question catches me a bit off guard.
"I've been just fine, Fang."
"Are you sure? Because you really didn't look fine when Maya confirmed Angel's announcement about her pregnancy."
"Yeah Fang, I'm fine. In fact I'm better than fine. Angel, Gazzy, and Nudge are finally in school and Dylan, Iggy, and I will be starting college or university soon. We're all doing great."
"Are you sure?" Fang asks me. I glare at him and he throws his arms up in innocence.
"Fang, we are all doing fine. If you don't stop I'm going to forget about Angel's wish for me not to pound your face in, because you really do deserve it." Fang looks taken aback and slightly hurt by what I said. Suddenly I receive a few thoughts from Angel.
'You know Max, he still loves you.'
'Sorry Angel, but he can bite my a—erm butt.'
'Max! Give him a chance.'
'No, he's gotten Maya knocked up. I know what it's like to lose someone who means a lot so Maya can keep him.'
I stop sending thoughts to Angel and once again look at Fang who quickly looks away from me. He didn't look away quickly enough though since I managed to catch a hint of longing in his eyes, and maybe even some regret. I shake it off and spread out my wings.
"I'm done here, Fang. You can tell my flock that I flew back." I say with my back turned to Fang before taking off into the night. It wasn't long after I started flying that my eyes began to water.
"Mum, now can you explain?"
"Dawn, for the last time, no." Dawn sighs at me.
"Fine."
"Dawn, by the way, in case anything happens to me before you finish reading the notebook, I want you to keep reading it even though I'm not there. Promise me that."
"Of course, mum." Dawn says to me with sad eyes, slightly taken aback by my request.
Okay, so Fang and Max got to talk…Somehow Max managed not to rip off his head, yay! But Maya is pregnant with Fang's children…I bet you guys can't wait to see where this will go! Review and keep reading!
