James Patterson (c) Original Flock


Alex POV-

"NOO! NO No!" Mom screamed almost directly in my ear.

She and Dad were standing right beside Ash and I. Mom's hands were pressed against the cold glass and tears sprung from her eyes. Dad had one hand on the glass and one on Mom's side, like he was holding her and himself up at the same time. I quickly glanced at Ash, who was staring through the glass with wide, glassed over eyes.

My gaze darted between my twin and my parents.This can't be real! It just can't!I thought desperately to myself.

Tears leaked from my eyes, and I closed them. I leaned my forehead against the smooth glass and sobbed quietly to myself. I could hear my mother and others crying all around me.

This was supposed to work! The transfusion...the past flock being here! It should have all worked perfectly!

ALEX!A high tinny voice screamed in my head. I opened my eyes and whipped my head to look at Angel.

"What!" I yelled, unknowingly harsh.

Angel flinched but quickly composed herself. "Look!" she screeched, pointing toward the NICU.

I didn't want to look. I didn't want the last memory I had of my new baby brother to be seeing his little dead body.

"NO! LOOK!" Angel screamed once more, making more than just my head swivel toward the glass.

And I almost fainted at what I saw. Then smiled wide.

A heartbeat. A heartbeat that was growing stronger with every second. Stronger and quicker.

I smashed my smiling face against the glass, along with the rest of my family. He was okay!

"Oh, thank goodness!" Mom said, sniffling and wiping the back of her hand across her face to wipe away the tears. But it was really useless since those tears were being replaced with her tears of joy.

Mom then turned and hugged my dad. They embraced each other tightly and kissed sweetly before pulling away from each other. Mom gasped in pain but quickly pasted a smile back on her face. Even Dad was smiling.

I looked back at my now living baby brother and saw Grandma staring back at me. She smiled hugely, and so did I. YES!

I took a step away and saw Max and Fang holding each other in the corner of the room. Without any warning, I ran toward them and threw my arms around their necks. Very out of character for me. Both of them were frozen for a second before hugging me back. Before long, the rest of the past flock was also in on the hug. Gotta love a flock hug. Well...I normally didn't enjoy them too much but now was a special occasion.

We all separated as Grandma came through the door. We all practically mobbed her. Mom walked up to her, with Dad's help, and hugged her.

"Thank you so much, Mom," I heard Mom whisper.

After a very heartfelt moment, we all left the NICU. Grandma told us that after the baby flat-lined, they were about to call the death time when his heart blipped. He had suddenly taken a shaky breath and opened an eye to look at them. She had no idea how he came back. Maybe it was his "skill", but I didn't know. But since that moment, he had started recovering at an astonishing rate. She said that though he was very tiny, he was amazingly healthy and would catch up weight-wise. She would keep a watch on his weight but he would probably be able to go home in a few hours.

Past Max POV-

We all left the hospital (with baby Reece) about 5 that same evening. For his tiny size, Reece was really healthy.

Today had been much more eventful than I wanted it to be.

I was glad that Fang and I were able to save him though. I guess the Voice was right. I shivered at the thought of what could, and would, have happened had Fang and I not been here. Our future son would have been lost.

We arrived at the house quickly and were greeted by lots of smiling faces. Everyone ooh'd and ahhh'd over baby Reece, who just glanced around in what looked like boredom. Looked like they will have another kid with Fang's personality...or at least his facial expressions.

"Well, everyone!" Future Iggy crowed. "I fixed the Time Traveler! And it's for real this time! I just tested it 30 minutes ago."

I looked at the members of my flock, who had a mixture of happiness and sadness in their eyes, and nodded.

"Well, as nice as this has been, we're ready to go," I informed everyone.

Once more, we all gathered on the porch. I insisted that we would be fine going by ourselves though. They all needed to be here. Future Iggy told me to press the button.

"It should erase your memory of coming here and put you back in time to when we first arrived at the lake...so not to disrupt the course of time. It'll self-destruct on arrival, but I made it so that it wouldn't explode and hurt you," Iggy said. I kinda hated having to forget about this. But at the same time I'd be happy to be rid of this memory.

Nudge and Angel gave everyone a big, huge hug and each of them gave Reece a smeck on his forehead. Future Me smiled down at both of them before cradling her son closer to her chest. Iggy and Gazzy slapped high fives with their future counterparts before joining Fang, Nudge, Angel and I.

Fang and my future selves waved at us. Future Fang then wrapped an arm around future Me and pecked her temple.

"Bye...for a second time!" Melanie cried, waving her arm back and forth. "It was fun!"

Alexa and Asher raised a hand to us. "Yeah...fun," Alex said. I rolled my eyes.

"Bye!" we all yelled as I hit the button.

And we were back in the forest we had left days ago.

I looked around, confused and disoriented. How had I gotten here? I saw smoke billowing from an object on the ground. I tried to make out what it was, but it seemed to be slowly disintegrating. I shrugged—it was just another mystery in a long line of mysteries that made up my life.


Alex POV:

We waved goodbye as they disappeared.

"Hey Dad?" Mel asked.

"Hmm..." Uncle Iggy replied.

"When the Time Traveler is destroyed, will we forget about them too?"

Uncle Iggy smiled. "No, we'll remember them. They just won't remember us."

Melanie cocked an eyebrow. "How does that work? Since you are them just older!" she said, following her father into the house. He just laughed.

"I'm not sure, Mel. It just does..." He chuckled.

One by one, everyone went back inside as well. I leaned my elbows on the porch railing instead, looking out at the front yard.

"Hey," Ash said, coming up beside me.

"Hey," I responded, tilting my head to glance at him.

"Well, that was interesting," he whispered and I looked up at him. "But, I don't think I want to do it again." I nodded.

"I second that emotion, twin," I said, gazing back out at the trees. "I second that emotion."


! THE END !
