Epilogue: 19 years later

It was kind of ironic really, today was the day Fang and I were supposed to meet up at the cliffs where we learned to fly from the hawks. Instead here we were flying just above the cave, helping rebuild civilization while trying to get home in time to celebrate Nicolette's fifth birthday. Who's Nicolette you may ask, she's Dylan and Maya's daughter, name meaning people of victory. Very well suited name for a beautiful little girl. Gosh, she reminds me so much of Angel. Maya and I are closer than ever although Dylan and Fang still hate each other. Sigh, I guess life can't be a Disney movie, can it? Although, since I'm alive, I really can't complain. So here we were flying around the world, helping rebuild civilization. Let me tell you, post-war, it was not pretty. Most of the cities were destroyed, acres of farmland and crops were destroyed, people's houses were destroyed and yeah, do you get the picture? Still with the help of each government, we started rebuilding the world. I never did find Jeb, but I found my mother, battered and bruised. When Ella saw her, she burst into tears.

Ella and Iggy got together and are getting married in the fall. Nudge and Jeremy are happily together and Angel and Gazzy are still single, but hey, they're young, so are we. Gazzy is flying around the world helping to clear up the bombs and landmines Dr. Gunther-Hagan left behind to destroy the world if he couldn't rule it. Angel and Star travelled across the world healing people from their One Light insanity. When I'm too tired to go to work, Maya goes in for me it's nice to have a clone. Maya, is a great mom and Dylan decided he would go into business which wasn't fair because he could see the future. Iggy and Ella are both travelling the world, Iggy finally being able to see wants to see all the great landmarks. I think they're in China at the moment. Nudge became a talk-show host and she's great at it, considering she talks 24/7. Now she actually has a Nudge channel which we tease her about. Jeremy is her producer.

"Hey babe." Fang whispered as he wrapped his arms around my very big belly now.

"Hey." I whispered back kissing him. Life was good, it wasn't perfect, but it was good.

"Remember that conversation we had a while ago?" He asked.

"Uh, which one?" I asked we had had many conversations.

"The one about an island?" He reminded. Oh yeah, once the world was saved, he wanted to settle down with me on an island. Truthfully, even after the world was saved, we hadn't been able to relax just yet. Meetings with world leaders and visiting experiments kept me busy.

"Yes." I replied.

"Surprise!" He said, closing his eyes and putting a hand on my head. I was filled with images of a beautiful island, surrounded by the flock.

I smiled happily, "You got it?" I asked. Fang nodded happily, I smiled again and kissed him.

"Iggy and Gazzy are working on the house right now and Angel's doing some decorating." He said and I laughed. Angel had really gotten into interior decorating; she was going to turn our house into Ikea!

"Oh Fang, don't you know that to me, home is where you are and where my family is?" I told him.

"Yup, and now, this is where we can raise our family." He responded and kissed me lightly on the lips.

I thought about my family, the flock. I even thought of Fang's Gang as my children now as well, even though they were close to the same age as me. Many of the flock went and found their parents but stayed with me, saying that we were their real family. We were all connected, together we were strong. Each of us held a bond not even death could break proving that with Iggy and Ella. So here I am, happy as can be, finally being able to put my hair down and smell the roses. This was my life and this was my family. Neither is perfect but I wouldn't want to have it any other way. My life is a ride, the ultimate, Maximum Ride.

Hey people! This story is officially done. I am currently working on a new story based off of CW's TV Series Nikita for Maximum Ride. Review to let me know what you think!
