Chapter 1: Tawny
Max POV

I was sitting on the sofa in Mom's house. Well, mine and my Mom's house, in Arizona holding my little bundle of joy, for the first time. He was wrapped up in the usual baby attire that I'd bought for him before he was born. This was the first time I could bare to touch the little monster since that disastrous day, because he'd ruined my life with Fang. Right after he'd come back. He was born two months premature, but you wouldn't think that looking at him. He was the size of an average 1 year old according to Mom. He grew pretty quick like the rest of us and could sit up and stuff without help, but he couldn't walk or talk yet. It's been three months since he was born, this is the first time I've looked at him properly and he was gorgeous, but this only made me mad. I was of course nothing special, but he looked beautiful. Disgusted at him, I looked away and couldn't look back at him. I thought about my time with Fang and ignored my son when he started to cry at the lack of attention.

My mind couldn't shut out his wailing for more than ten minutes, finally I snapped and took him into the kitchen to my Mother. She sighed, "When are you going to learn to look after him?" I shrugged and just watched her take my three months old from me and feed him, then she took him upstairs, probably to change his diaper or something. I went back to sit down on the sofa and think more about Fang.

I heard the door bang shut and looking up at the clock I realized it must be Ella coming home from work; she always stopped off on a Thursday to see Mom, sometimes Nudge was with her, but not today. She didn't say anything as she went past me, on her way to the stairs. She never said anything to me since the little monster, as I'd decided to call him until the Farther and I could come up with a more stable name, had been born. No one talked to me that much anymore, except Mom and Angel. Mom forgave me eventually and didn't treat me with too much anger and of course Angel had had 7 months to get over the idea and forgive me. Because she'd obviously known what had happened as soon as I saw her afterwards.

Gazzy never spoke to me; he and Fang never even came to visit since the little monster had arrived. They lived in the house I used to share with Fang a few streets down from us and Ella and Nudge got the house Gazzy used to share with Nudge and Angel. Angel wound up in Ella's old flat with Dylan, but she spent most of her free time here looking after the little monster and I. Iggy was still talking to me, well writing letters. He is in the army working as a medic, he'd left the morning that Fang had come back 10 months ago, we'd had a goodbye party the night before for him and he left early morning the next day. He was sorry he'd missed Fang coming home and the birth at first, but when he found out what had happened he was quite relieved.

-Flash back to the birth-

I was lying on mine and Fang's bed, in our two bedroom house, with a towel over my middle so the only person who could see the actual birth was Mom-she was delivering the baby. Fang was next to me on my right holding my hand and Angel was on my left holding my other hand. Ella was standing next to Fang and Dylan next to her, they shared a flat, but they weren't seeing each other, it was just a convenient home for both their work places, out of everyone they moved furthest from Mom, a fifteen minute drive away or a 5 minute fly. You could walk from our house to Mom's and it would only take five minutes. Nudge was standing next to Angel and Gazzy next to her. Those three shared a two bedroom house a five minute drive (or two minute fly) from our house, Mom's and Ella and Dylan's flat. Nudge and Gazzy were holding hands, they're together now but neither of them wants kids at the moment. Thank god, I don't think I could handle any of them having a child before me.

"Push Max," someone said, I couldn't decipher who it was through the pain, only that it was a woman's voice.
"I'm trying," I ground out through clenched teeth, the pain was excruciating! Give me a hundred erasers to fight on my own any day, but this? I never want to go through this pain again! Ever!
"Don't talk," Fang whispered in my ear and I did as I was told.
"He's crowning, keep going Max this is great, nearly there," Mom said excitedly.

I pushed once more. Then relaxed he was out, finally.

Mom rushed him out before we could see him. I heard running water from our ensuite, she was cleaning all the blood and things off him. She came in with him wrapped in a bundle of towels so we couldn't see him. "Fang, come here please," she said to him her voice very strained. Uh oh..

It's not his Max, I'm so sorry,Angel told me in my head.
"Nooooo," I shouted out and tears started to leak out. I couldn't hold them in any longer. That's what always being the strong one does to you. They all just flooded out. "I'm sorry," I choked out through my sobs.
Everyone was asking me what for and they were looking at me weird, but I couldn't meet any of their gazes. Fang frowned at me questioning me. I couldn't shoe him any more than my apology in my eyes, begging him to forgive me. He walked across to Mom and looked down at my little monster. He got a look of shock, then understanding, then anger and then his face was emotionless. When he looked back at me only I could tell he was really hurt.
"Stop!" Fang shouted at the top of his voice. They all shut up and my crying became whimpers.
"I'm s..."
"No! It's too late for that. Get out!"
"Wh.."
"GET OUT!"
"She can't," Mom whispered, trying to calm him down but he just glared at her.
"Now," he said through clenched teeth and walked out the room.

When everyone saw the little monster in Mom's arms they were all so shocked.
"You knew?" Gazzy asked Angel in a quiet angry voice, more scary than if he had shouted at us. He'd grown up so much especially since he'd started dating Nudge 3 years ago. It was quite scary how much he'd changed and how responsible he always looked now.
"Yeah, bu..." She tried to explain herself, but was cut off by Nudge.
"You can move out, I don't want you anywhere near our house again."
Then they filed out the room disgusted at us. Ella turned to Angel, "you can stay with..Errr..can she Dylan?"
"You can move in with me Angel, Ella will move in with Nudge and Gazzy." Dylan finished for her.
"Thank you," Angel replied. Ella nodded at her, took one look at me then shook her head disgustingly at me, before storming out after the others; Dylan took another pitying look back at me before following her out.

It was just Mom, Angel and I left in the room. Mom tried to give him to me, but I just shook my head, No, and wouldn't take him from her. Angel helped me get some sweats on, and then she helped me walk downstairs and out the door. We walked to Mom's house, Angel holding me up all the way here.

-End of flashback-

Iggy was coming home today. I was very excited, but also pretty nervous. Angel had come and so had Dylan, we were on better terms now. He'd never really gotten over me rejecting him, but he couldn't stay away too long, because of the way he was made. But I was kind of happy he was here, it gave me a bit more confidence. The doorbell rang and Mom opened the door for him. She came in with Iggy behind her; he was trailing his fingers along the wall getting familiar with the color again. Mom smiled at me then looked at Dylan then Angel and jerked her head back towards the kitchen, they got up off the sofa from either side of me, Angel gave my knee a gentle, reassuring squeeze (my hands were occupied with holding my baby), and then Dylan followed her into the kitchen.

I stopped calling him 'my little monster' a week ago. It wasn't his fault I had made a stupid mistake and broke Fang and me up. I should stop taking it out on him and start being a better Mom.

Iggy stood in the door way awkwardly for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and taking three steps forward. He stopped again and looked around the room, waiting for me to say something I guess.
"There's a small coffee table two paces in front of you," I told Iggy quietly.
"Thanks," he replied, his voice was oddly strained I guess he was a bit uncomfortable, that makes two of us. He took two steps then bent down and trailed his hand over the surface of the table he used this technique to make his way around the table then sat down the opposite end of the sofa to me. He had to get reacquainted with the house and me, it seemed, seen as though he'd been away for so long.

There was an uncomfortable silence again. I tried to think of something to say to him, but came up with nothing.
"Can I hold him," he asked quietly, "please." He added as an afterthought.
"Course."

I handed our son to him.

"What's he look like?" he asked nervously, looking unseeingly down at him.
I pulled down the hood to get a good look at him, "He has your eyes and.."
"Before or after?" He didn't specify, but I know he meant the experiment.
"Before, they're like a deep ocean blue," I replied smiling. "His hair is blond with a ginger tinge and he has very pale skin. He has Jeb's pointy nose unfortunately.."
Iggy snorts at this comment and smiles up at me, before moving his gaze back down to our son. "And pale pink lips a similar color to mine, Mom's and E..Ella's." I struggled saying her name; it still hurt that they wouldn't talk to me. Sure I had made a mistake, but it had been four months! I hated that my baby would only have one grandparent, one aunt and one uncle and one parent most of the time, seen as though Iggy was still in the force.
"Wings?" He asked when I paused in thought and self pity, obviously trying to keep my mind off her reaction-too late for that. "Almost exactly the same as mine, only they have specks of dark brown on the white."

He smiled at me again, "Good." I smiled back even though he couldn't see. I slowly lifted my face and gently pressed my lips to his, they were exactly how I remembered softer and gentler than Fang's, not as experienced but still a great taste. They lingered there for a moment until our son started to wail. We both looked back down at him. Iggy brought him up to his face, and then started dancing him around making him laugh. I cherished the sound, it was the first time I'd heard it, with me being so depressed with the whole Fang thing I didn't really play with him much, but I decided after that I would be a good Mom, we'd be the best parents we could be, besides if I couldn't have Fang, Iggy was second best.

"What's his name?" He inquired.
"We haven't got one yet. I thought we could decide together."
"Thanks," he seemed really happy at this thought. I guess he wanted to be involved with our child as much as he could. He's gonna be better parent than I thought. "His wings are a tawny color. Aren't they?"
"Yeah." I said uncertainly.
"Well what about Tawny? Tawny Ride?"
"Tawny Ride." I said quietly testing it on my tongue. "I love it."
