I came up with this idea while working on a different story. I don't know how long it will be, but I hope you like it. I'm going to have fun writing it. I had to change a couple of things from the series to make it work. Please don't be mad at me.

Chapter 1

Max's pov

Today was the day. Our day. My family's day. My brand new family, and my old family, too.

I suppose I should explain. I'll start from the beginning.

The last few years of our lives have been half-way calm. At least, for our usual standards. We've only been attacked about…let me think…50-ish times? Oh, I don't know. Does it matter?

So here's what happened. About a year after Angel went missing (A/N: at the end of "Angel"), Fang's group and the Flock found her and saved her. Shortly afterward, Fang rejoined the Flock. At the same time, Dylan left. Haven't seen him since. Don't miss him much.

Of course, Fang and I got back together. Not too long afterward, we got married. Well…technically we're not old enough to get married, so it's not legally binding…but it's good enough for us. We're happy.

But this is one of the best moments. Today, Fang and I are parents.

I can still remember when I told Fang he was going to be a dad. I've never seen him so…emotional. In a good way.

Yesterday I went to the hospital. My mom, and a few doctors she trusted from CSM, helped me give birth. It had to be doctors we trusted because of the wings.

I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. We named the boy Ari, after my dead half brother. We didn't have a name for the girl, but in the end we settled on Star. No, it has nothing to do with the girl from Fang's old group, we just liked it.

Today my mom is taking me, Fang, Ari, and Star home. Home these days is still our house in Colorado. The Flock hasn't seen Ari and Star yet. I hear they're excited.

I sat in the back of my mom's car, next to the two infant car seats. Fang was in the passenger seat, and mom was driving (duh).

"You ok, Max?" Fang asked for the hundredth time.

"Yes!" I sighed, annoyed. "Stop asking me that, I'm just tired."

I looked at Ari and Star, both asleep with their tiny wings tucked behind them. Yeah, they were born with wings. Just like us.

After another five minutes, my mom said, "We're home." and parked the car.

Fang and I both got out of the car. Fang picked up Ari, I picked up Star, and mom got our stuff out of the back for us.

"They're back!" I heard somebody yell from inside the house. "Guys, they're back! They've got the twins with them!"

"Come on, Nudge, did you expect them to show up without their children?" Another voice said.

I grinned at Fang and hurried up to the house, holding Star close.

When I got inside, I found Iggy and Ella (who were now dating), Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, and Jeb waiting for me. Yeah, Jeb lived with us too. It wasn't my idea, but I was out-voted.

Fang came up behind me, still holding Ari.

"Max! Fang! You're back! Oh, they're so cute! What names did you finally decide on? Max are you feeling alright-" Nudge said quickly before Gazzy put a hand over her mouth.

I grinned and walked over so they could see my baby. "This is our daughter, Star." I said. Fang followed me. "And this is our son, Ari." My eyes flickered to Jeb when I said Ari's name. He smiled, partly happy and partly sad. I knew how he felt.

"Star and Ari." Nudge repeated happily.

Star squirmed in my arms and opened her eyes. She started to cry. "Shhh, honey, shhh." I said soothingly. "I'm here." I turned so she was facing the others. "This is your family, Star."

A few hours later

I walked downstairs and nearly ran into Angel. "Whoa, slow down, Ang." I said.

"Oh, hi, Max. Uh…we didn't realize you were awake." She said quickly.

I had taken a long nap, which I didn't usual do, but I was really tired. I mean, I had twins yesterday; I have that right, don't I?

"How are Star and Ari?" I asked.

"Great! Wonderful…let's go upstairs!" she tried to pull me up the stairs, but I was stronger.

"Why?" I asked, slightly nervous.

"Nothing's wrong or anything." Angel said quickly. "We just-"

That's when I heard Fang yell, "Iggy, you idiot!" and the sound of my babies crying, followed by a loud crashing sound.

"Oh no." I muttered and ran downstairs as fast as I could. The noise was coming from the kitchen. I raced over, and stopped dead in the doorway. "What happened?"

There was food everywhere. On the walls and the floor and the tables…and everybody who was in the room. This was everybody except for Angel. Including Ari and Star. Who were also covered in food. This was why they were crying.

"What did you do?" I yelled as I made my way across the room to comfort them, which Fang had already started to do.

"We were trying to cook a nice big dinner to surprise you." Ella said quietly.

"And there was some arguing…which turned into food being thrown all over the place…which turned into Iggy accidentally getting some of that food on Ari and Star." My mom finished.

I scoped up Ari in my arms. He slowly started to calm down. He was covered in food, however. "Is this banana?" I asked.

"Yeah." Mom said.

"Guys!" I groaned.

"Max, we should probably clean them up." Fang said to me. He was holding Star. "Come on." I followed him out of the kitchen.

0000000ooooooo0000000

About half an hour later, Ari and Star were clean and asleep in the nursery we had set up for them, in the room next to ours. I went into our room and fell onto the bed. Fang sat down next to me.

"You're not mad at me, are you?" he asked me. I looked at him.

"Why would I be mad at you?"

"Well, I was in charge of watching them while you were sleeping. And let them get covered in food."

I grinned at him. "It's no big deal. I'm not really mad about that. I'm just a little stressed out, you know? I mean, these are our kids. When they think of mom and dad, they'll think of us. We have to talk care of them. And love them, I love them with all of my heart, but…what if I mess up? What if I end up being a horrible mother?"

Fang lay down and curled up with me. "Maximum Ride, you will be the best mother in the world. You've already been a mother-like-figure to most of the Flock, right? I mean, you practically raised Angel."

I thought about that. Angel…lovable little girl, tries to take over the Flock from me, kicks me and Fang out, eventually holds a gun up to me, then shoots my father…

"I'm not sure I'm completely happy with that example, Fang."

Fang laughed. I grinned at him again, and then I was laughing too.

Ok, I'm not entirely pleased with that chapter, but it's ok. I'll try to make the next chapters better. Just bare with me, please. Please review.
