PLEASE READ: Sorry I got Nudge's and Gazzy's ages mixed up last chapter. I only had about one minuet literally before I had to get off the computer...so anyways, here's the final chapter of Italy Skies. Enjoy:)

I do not own Twilight or Maximum Ride

Chapter 15-Forever and Ever After

Max (Age 23)

"Aw," Nudge cooed. "She's so adorable!"

I smiled at the baby in my arms. She had brown hair, and beautiful hazel eyes. She was actually tan for a baby, and had indescribably amazing red wings.

My baby.

I rubbed the side of her face as she drifted into sleep. "Alright Max," Carlisle said speed reading over a clip board. "Everything looks pretty good." I smiled at him. I would have to thank Iggy and Gazzy for stalling the nurses and doctors out of the room when Carlisle was delivering a kid with wings. The two-sum came in, sweat on their brows, and froze when they saw the child in my arms.

"Aw," They both sounded like girls, and I laughed. They were both by my sides in an instant. Iggy shoved Fang slightly. "Scoot over," He muttered. Fang laughed and kissed my head then walked over to sit by Angel and Nudge.

I heard a knock on the door, and Angel nodded at us to open it, probably reading the mind of who ever was there.

Mom opened it, and I smiled at the guest.

"Hey Max," Nikkie said grinning back. She looked down at the baby in my arms. "Aw," She said softly and landed on her knee's by my beside. Elena came in next, followed by Ysabelle. "Aw!" Elena clapped her hands at her, and came over to me and played with the baby's hand. She looked at Fang. "She looks just like you Fang."

"She'd better," He muttered. I gasped. "Gazzy, hit him." Gazzy smacked Fang in the back of the head, then chuckled. "I love my job," He muttered.

Carlisle counted all the people in the room. "Alright, no crowding my delivery room, I can hardly get through here!"

Iggy stood up. "Come on guys, I here they got a killer Big Mac across the street. Let's give them some space.." He sighed. I mouthed, "Thanks." And he nodded. Angel, Nudge, Mom, Ella, Gazzy, Jeb, Total, and Fang went across the street with him. After all, we had been here all day.

Ysabelle looked in the direction of my baby when she made a cooing sound. "She has really detailed thoughts. Almost like Nessie's. She's gonna be smart." She smiled at me. "What'd you name her?"

"Raven," I told her proudly. "They sing pretty," Elena said running her hand on the baby's cheek.

I looked out the open door to my room. "Where's the others?"

"Outside," Nikkie told me smiling at Raven. "Zapphyre and Crimson don't really like to be crowded, so Alize, Myra and Scarlet stayed with them."

I nodded slowly. "So does she have like any powers or anything that you know of?" Elena asked.

I shrugged. "She's got wings, I think that should be enough!" I laughed. Nikkie chuckled. "So where's the rest of the Cullen clan?"

"They'll be coming soon," Carlisle said looking at a monitor. "Alice saw Max having a hissy hit from getting mad by having to much attention, so she decided to wait."

"I'm fine though,"

"For now," He muttered as he walked out of the room. I shrugged, and smiled down at Raven. Nikkie sighed, a sad expression on her face. "What's wrong?" I asked my best friend. "Nothin'," She muttered. "I'm kinda..jealous, actually."

My body filled with sympathy now. Rosalie had told me that vampires couldn't have children. "Oh," I said softly with relaxation. "I'm sorry Nikkie."

"It's cool," She said grinning slightly. "I got them two, and the ones outside to take care of." She nodded at Elena and Ysabelle. Elena stuck her tongue out at her. I laughed, and sighed putting my head on the back of the hospital bed.

"I can't believe the Doc kept the whole bird baby thing secret," Ysabelle said inspecting the lock on the door.

"You'll have to thank Iggy and Gaz for it," I told her. "They kept all the other doctors and nurses out, some how."

"Something tells me I don't wanna know," Elena muttered.

"I totallyagree." I said.

Early morning...

It was a cold now. The little snowflakes hit the window, and I studied the designs of them, each one different. The Cullen's had came by today, and the room was full of baby gifts from Alice, along with the Flock all laying on the floor. She told me she had also stocked up my house full of other baby crap. Wonderful.

But I was really thankful that I had so many friends that had cared about me for almost ten years now. And they would be there for me, until the day I died.

I made Nikkie promise me today when I died that she would take care of Raven, and the other member's of my Flock. She said that she excepted the challenge, in exchange for me putting a good word in for her in Heaven, just in case. I also excepted.

Raven whimpered in my arms, and her eyes opened slowly. "Hi," I said in that voice that all mom's spoke to their babies with. "You shouldn't be up right now." She whimpered louder, and I got up slowly, wincing slightly in pain, and walked around a little with her and hummed to her.

She often looked out the window, and I walked over to it, and opened it. It was so huge, almost as tall as me. The way that I could fall and be in the air, it made me think of the E house. I smiled slightly to myself at the memories in that house.

Raven touched a snowflake on my arm, and it melted on her small index finer. She then reached out towards the sky, like she wanted to go up. I thought of something.

I walked backward away from the window, and she started crying. I walked back, and she still reached out, whimpering.

Wow. She was really a bird kid.

I didn't see anyone out. I got my sweatshirt and put it on, and wrapped about two blankets around Raven.

"You sure sweetie?"

She hiccuped.

I shrugged. "Okay, you asked for it,"

I spread my huge wings out, both of them touching the wall from the window in the middle of the wall. It felt so good to let them out after today. Raven's eyes crinkled. I didn't know how a baby a few hours old could have so many expressions, but I didn't question her.

I fell straight forward, holding Raven as tight as I could.

As the wind whipped past her, she laughed.

I gasped and laughed as well as I caught wind, and was flying parallel. Raven reached for the sky as her eyes lit up like a sunrise.

I laughed again as I landed on a roof top. "Did you like that Raven?" She laughed again, and smiled up at the stars.

She was so my kid.

I heard someone clear their throat from behind, and I jolted around, and saw a figure appear from the darkness.

"Relax Max, Lord," Nikkie laughed. I sighed in relief. "Don't ever do that again," I sighed. She laughed. "I was hunting in some woods behind the hospital. I just came up here." She shrugged.

"Where are the others?"

"All of them are in wolf form sleeping in the woods. Well except Zapphyre and Scarlet, duh. Oh dude! You won't believe this!"

"What?"

She grinned. "Myra phased."

"No way!" I said smiling. "Tell her I said congratulations." Then I got worried. "Wait, Myra just turned thirteen..."

Nikkie looked a little sad. "Yeah, she did. But the good news is, I think Brady imprinted on her. He's thirteen."

My eyes got slightly wide. I had met Collin and Brady before, a few times.

"I guess that's as good as it'll get for her," Nikkie muttered and sighed as she plopped down on the side of the building. I glanced down at Raven. She had fell asleep, so I gentle rocked her as I sat beside Nikkie.

She looked up at the sky thoughtfully. "I've been thinking a lot about what you asked me to do." I guessed she was talking about my request for her to watch my family. "Yeah?"

"Yeah," She repeated. "It's just that...I mean," She sighed shakily. "Do you want your family watched by a monster?"

I craned my neck back to look at her better. She looked down with a sad expression as the wind twirled her hair in her face. "Nikkie," I said as I touched her shoulder. "Your not a monster."

She turned to me slowly. "No, not from your perspective," She said. "I mean think of anyone else who might find out what I am. I don't even have one percent of human in me like Elena, or Crimson, or Alize or Myra, or any of the La Push wolves do."

"Well you can't help that," I said putting a hand on her shoulder. "You can't help what you are, just like I can't, or any of my Flock can, or any of your coven. Everything happens for a reason Nikkie. You promised to watch over my family for me. Maybe that's your purpose."

She smiled. "I would like to think of it that way," She muttered. "I would rather it be that, then being a Volturi..or a Lesser."

I shuttered for a moment. "Have you heard anything about them? If any of them are alive?"

She shook her head and chuckled. "Don't worry Max, I think that you made it really clear who owned the Italy skies." I smiled. "I hope so," I ran a hand over Raven's face. It was quiet for a few minuet's, then suddenly I heard a, "Whooo!"

We wheeled around to see all the Flock jumping out the window I had, just like when we were kids. "Come on Igg," Gazzy called smiling and leading the way. "You gotta be faster than that! You got eyes, use 'em!"

"You'll regret this Gazzy!" He called back trying to catch up with him. "Help Fang!" I saw Fang sigh and fly along side Iggy. Mom, Ella and Total stood at the window smiling and cheering them on.

Nudge and Angel were flying in a beautiful rhythmic motion with Stormy in the middle of them, laughing and doing a complete back flip as she tucked her black wings in.

I saw a shiny silver Volvo appear in front of the hospital, followed by a red pick up that Bella exited out off smiling like a little girl as if she had just got the truck back after it's ride through hell, and the Cullen gang all came out. Bella put a hand over her forehead trying to see us better and laughed. Nessie waved with both of her hands, while Alice yelled, "Get him Iggy! I need to get back at him for hiding my credit cards!"

Then, out of the darkness of the woods behind the hospital, I saw five huge wolves-Elena, Ysabelle, Crimson, Alize and Myra-and Zapphyre and Scarlet emerge, while on the other side of the woods I saw some more, and recognized them as the La Push wolves. They all howled at the same time, as if in a contest.

I smiled down at Raven. "Your going to have a wonderful, and crazy, life my beautiful baby."

I looked back at my Flock and my friends proudly, as my heart swelled with happiness.

Nikkie laughed at the picture in front of us, watching my family, the happiest and most safest we had ever been. She looked at my Flock flying with the clouds and doing tricks that reminded me of angels. Nikkie laughed, and said the exact thing I was thinking.

"Forks fly's."She said, ending, and starting, another memorable chapter in my life, and her forever.
