A/N: Hey! I'm PinkPearlWings07, I just finished reading the Hush, Hush trilogy and let me say I am Not happy about how it ended…I mean a CLIFFHANGER? There was so much room for more it's not even funny…anyways, enough with my ranting, I LOVED the series, so here I am, about to write the most awesome crossover about it with Maximum Ride!
I don't own Maximum Ride or Hush, Hush. :'(
PLEASE REVIEW!
Prolouge:
Maximum Ride and Fang are happily married. They just recently moved to Coldwater, Maine with the flock. Max and Fang, after many years of thought, decided that they did not want to have a child. They decided that they did not want to raise a child that would ever be in danger, even though Itex was gone, and they didn't want to have to drill secrecy into them.
Although they did agree that if they ever got the chance, they would adopt. Coldwater, Maine gave them that chance.
After a few days of living on the outskirts of Coldwater, Maine, the flock decided to go out for a visit in the town. Valencia Martinez, Max's mom, had given Max and Fang money to buy a car as soon as she was told that they were moving. The flock had kept low on the radar, even after successfully bringing down Itex, they had been all over the news and didn't want to be recognized, in fact, they all preferred not to ever be recognized…their sole reason for moving to Maine. The first day they arrived, they walked to a small car dealership, bought a minivan, and drove on the road until they spotted a nice looking town, Coldwater, Maine. They bought a house and made themselves at home, the past few days spent personalizing the place.
Nudge and Angel had every intention of going shopping. Iggy and Gazzy wanted to head to a small little firework store they had their eyes on since they arrived, and Max and Fang wanted to check out the town.
Max and Fang took the car, not particularly knowing where they were going, and everyone else left on foot, having a specific destination in mind.
The couple left the house, only to have their eyes caught on a large house…it was an orphanage. They merely had to glance at each other to know that they both had the same thing in mind. They parked in the front, hopped out of the car, and knocked on the door.
A woman with a welcoming smile opened the door. She had short, wavy brown hair, and warm brown eyes. "May I help you two?"
Max smiled, "I think so, we're looking to adopt?"
The woman's smile grew as she welcomed them inside and showed them into her office.
"I'm sure you both know how big of a decision this is?"
Fang gave a small smile, "Yes, we have been talking about a child for years."
"Well then, what age group are you looking at?"
Max answered, "We were talking about an infant, we wanted to raise a child from a young age."
"Wise choice, follow me please." She moved from behind her desk and beckoned for us to follow her out into the hallway. We entered a large room filled with white cribs. She told us to go ahead and look around, interact with some of them. Max was immediately filled with sadness upon entering the room, mostly because she and the flock knew what it was like not to have any parents.
They moved through the room together, stopping a few times to get stories on some of the children, but Max's eyes caught on a small girl with silky black hair and grey eyes, she was wearing a man's silver chain around her neck, it was much too big for her, but it was there, and it seemed to be a part of her.
The woman smiled at seeing which baby the couple had stopped at. "That poor child was just dropped off yesterday, left on the doorstep in a small cradle with only a blanket, that silver chain, and two letters. One was only one word long…her name, Angel. The other was marked 'For Angel's eyes only' and in script underneath said to give it to her no earlier and no later than her sixteenth birthday, and it had her date of birth. That letter was sealed with wax."
Max didn't even glance at her husband, "This is the child I want to adopt."
