I have an announcement to make.

This, this chapter right here, will be the final chapter of Mr. Mom. I've had a great time writing for you, but I'm getting very uninspired with this story. But I promise, I'll be back! Maybe not until I finish my two Bones fanfics, but definetly when FANG comes out. So enjoy this, my loves. :)

In the end, only Angel, Nudge, and Total headed out on a hike. They went out around eleven to the hiking trail just north of the town. Iggy and the Gasman, they went to the skate park, which really just doesn't appeal to me. So I waited around the house for Dr. Martinez to bring Max home from the hospital.

Around one thirty, when I was eating a sandwich and watching some crappy movie called Twilight, I heard the door quietly click open.

"Hello?" Dr. Martinez called in.

"Hey, welcome back," I said, walking to the front. Max looked pale, but otherwise, she seemed fine. A small smile spread across her face.

"I needed to get out of the house somehow," she joked. Dr. Martinez patted her on the back.

"Call me if you need anything." She left us alone in the house. I let Max go upstairs to change her clothes and she was down a moment later. She peered into the living room in disbelief.

"You're watching that?" Max asked incrediously. I just shrugged and tossed my sandwich into the trash. I turned to face her fully. Damn, why was she so confusing? She just collapsed and was in the hospital, yet she's curious as to why I am watching a sappy teen romance drama.

"You scared me."

"I'm sorry. I didn't exactly enjoy it either."

"Don't do that again."

"I don't plan on getting sick again."

"Good."

"Well. The house didn't burn down."

"Nope."

"The kids didn't die."

"Not a chance."

"So..."

"So." We stood there standing at each other, just the two of us. Max walked towards me, and smiled.

"Glad your job as Mr. Mom is over?"

"Yes."

"Glad to not have to watch over the Flock anymore?"

"Yup."

"Glad to be back to talking very little?"

"You bet."

"Glad to have me?" I stopped at the question. What did she mean when she said that like that? I was sooooo confused. Before I knew what was happening, Max pressed her lips against mine. A moment later we parted, breathless.

"Of course. Just don't leave me."

"I won't."
