The Life of M.R.
More time lapse! Haha, sorry, I'm just working on new fanfic and I kinda just want to finish off the other ones I'm writing. By the way, this upcoming fanfic is planned to be better than any other and will be a Maximum Ride based one as well!
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.
I couldn't take much more of the basic filler stuff my mum had written in her journal, so I decided to skip ahead a huge chunk. By now, the funeral is nearing and well, I haven't really seen my 'aunts and uncles' much or my own family. I've really just been holed up in this damned library, reading day and night.
…
It's already been 6 years since Dylan and I got married and about 14 since I last saw Fang and his flock. Wow. Sure, Fang has tried to keep in touch through letters and such, but I never really read them. I went back for Stefan and Derek's birth, but Fang wasn't there. Now as I look at myself in the full wall mirror of the studio that Dylan and I had rented to live in, I wonder what life would be like if I was married to Fang instead of Dylan, if I were having his baby instead.
"Hey honey." Dylan says with a sleepy and warm voice as he comes up behind me and gives me a bear hug, his gentle hands resting on my swollen belly. "Just a few more weeks until we have our beautiful Dawn to take care of," Dylan says with a smile. We'd already decided on the baby's name, and obviously she'd be a girl.
"Yeah," I say with a small smile as I look at both of our reflections in the mirror. "I want to visit the flock today." I say suddenly. They were still living at the old house with my mum and Ella.
"Alrighty, are we going to drive?" Dylan asks. I scoff and spread my wings.
"We have these things on us for a reason, now let's use them." I say with a grin as I lead Dylan out on to our giant porch for a rather careful up, up, and away.
...
I giggle and cartwheel (yes, I can do those things) with glee as Dylan and I soar towards the old house. It's been a long time since I've been able to fly like this. Dylan has had me on bed rest and the fact that he is letting us fly to the flock is an absolute surprise.
"Ah, this feels so...amazing!"I exclaim as I come up beside the extremely worried looking Dylan.
"Max, honey, please take it easy. Otherwise you'll either induce labour or kill Dawn."Dylan says, clasping my shoulder as I get ready to bolt off again. I frown but listen anyways. He's right; my little Dawn would probably die if I kept on the way I was.
...
"Max, Dylan, is that you!"Nudge exclaims as she rushes out the door with Iggy, Gazzy, and Angel in tow. Dylan and I had just barely landed in the backyard. I take a good look at the flock, it's been around 4 months since Dylan and I last visited, but they still looked the same. Angel with her 24 year old model young-ness, Gazzy with his 26 year old movie director stubbly-ness, Nudge with her professional polished look of a 30 year old fashion designer, and Iggy with his 32 year old look of a comic book/collector store owner. Yes, my family has indeed grown. They all give me and Dylan a giant bear hug just as my mum and Ella walk outside. Ella has become a veterinarian just like mum, while Dylan runs a restaurant. I teach a fighting class, but have taken time off because of my pregnancy and help out at the restaurant.
"Well, of course it is."Dylan says with a fatherly voice to Nudge as he ruffles Angel's still curly hair. Angel makes a sour face at Dylan and turns to me.
"Max, we have a surprise for you inside."Angel says to me telepathically. I cock my eyebrow at her but let her lead me inside as everyone else continues giving Dylan their warm welcome. When I enter the back kitchen I'm first greeted by two identical 14 year olds nearly knocking me over.
"Wow, sorry mo—wow, no, you aren't mom." One of the 14 year olds says with wide eyes as he takes a close look at me.
"Nice to see you too, Stefan." I say with a smile.
"H...how do you know that he isn't Derek?" The other twin asks me with shock.
"Because I'm your aunt," I say with a smile as I take in the site of my "nephews". They look a lot like Fang does, but they have the same eyes as Maya and I. "I can also see your wings." I say, ruffling their hair. Stefan has the same wings as Maya and I, while Derek has Fang's.
"Max!" Maya, Star, and Kate exclaim as the rush into the room with huge grins plastered across their faces. I smile softly; they still look the same as they did about 14 years ago.
"Hey, it's Maxie!"Holden exclaims as he and Ratchet stroll into the room after the others.
"Nice to see you all too," I say through some laughter, "where's the brick wall?" I ask hesitantly, referring to Fang. Everyone's faces darken, except for the twins who aren't aware of our past relation.
"Our dad is on a business trip, he works for some corporation against human DNA mutation." Derek says with a shrug. I look at the twins and realize that they are rough housing it around the kitchen and had momentarily paused. I give a wide eyed look to the others.
"He's working with my dad, Jeb?" I ask, remembering how Jeb had started an anti-Itex corporation.
"Yeah, he started after he heard about you and Dylan getting married. I think he really just needed a big distraction." Maya says with a faint smile, knowing just as well as I do about Fang's confession all those years ago in their apartment/loft.
"Oh, well that's nice." I say, faking a smile. "Good money in that field." I say before turning back to the twins. "My god, how you two have grown since I last saw you," while wrapping my arms around them both (stopping their rough housing in the process). "While mind you, the last time I saw you both in person was when you were born." I say with a giggle. Stefan gives me a suspicious look.
"What relation did you have to our father?" Stefan asks me with a cocked eyebrow. Angel sends me a telepathic message telling me about Stefan and Derek's various powers, including telepathy.
"What reason do you have to ask me such a question when you can read my thoughts?" I counter.
"My father taught me that it is rude to read another person's thoughts without their consent." Stefan says determinedly.
"Fine, you have my consent, here's my past relation to your father." I say, deciding that it is old news and that these smart twins are better if not left in the dark. I looked at Derek and Stefan as they both tuned into my memories all the way back to when we were all still at The School. I narrowed things down to memories of just Fang. A few moments later the twins are both gasping and clutching at their chests.
"Wow," Derek says, catching his breath, "our dad is quite an ass, or at least was."
"Hey! Don't talk about your father like that." Maya says with an annoyed look while slapping Derek upside the head.
"Maya, it's true," Holden says before he drops his voice a bit as to fake whisper to the twins, "he's also a molester." Everyone bursts out laughing except for the twins who look shell shocked.
"So yeah, that's who your dad was to me." I say once I recompose myself.
"Wow, you went through a lot," the twins say in a somewhat creepy unison. I must have looked weirded out since Star spoke up and explained how that was a trick they had been working on.
"You said that those were memories of your past relations with our father, but the last memory we saw was of you in front of a mirror this morning, thinking about what life with him would have been like." Stefan says to me telepathically. My eyes widen slightly.
"We were extremely close." I think back to him before turning back to the others and joining in on the conversation. I notice how everyone else has entered the kitchen and has made it into a claustrophobic's nightmare.
Wow, so all those years and Max is still thinking about Fang. Just wow. Sorry for all this skipping ahead, I'm really just trying to finish things up! Sorry! Review and keep reading!
