Important Note: This story was supposed to be a Fax ONE SHOT. But as I was writing, I got carried away by the flash back.. and then I figured.. it HAD to be told. (hahaha). But this story won't be so long. If you're looking for FAX, just wait and see. BTW, this is years after the books. Max and Fang are married. They have kids who are fraternal twins. I named the girl Raven, because she's a lot like Fang. Dark. And Ravens are dark. I named the guy Alex. Because then his name would be Alex Ride. It sounded pretty good. Hahaha. Alex would be more like Max. They are very important characters to this. Hope you like it. I'm actually really nervous about it.

…..

Fang was leaning his back on the wall, his arms folded across his chest as his dark obsidian eyes watched his pregnant wife and fifteen-year-old son have a very, uh, spirited discussion. He watched the mischievous glint in Max's dark brown eyes, laughing at the blond sitting beside him. She had her left hand on her bloated belly, and the other one holding a Max sized sandwich made by the resident master chef, Iggy. Fang couldn't help but smile at the fact that Alex looked so much like Max when she was fifteen, if you chop of the lengthy hair and minus the girlish features. He also couldn't help but smile as the boy failed to counter her mom's witty comebacks, despite inheriting most of her talent for words.

"So, did you ask her out yet?" Max asked, after finally stopping to laugh. She still couldn't help herself from smiling, not concealing her mischievous intentions.

Alex almost choked, and grabbed his throat as he coughed. His face was flushed, giving Max a reason for another round of hysterical laughter. After finally de-clogging his throat, he managed to answer back. "No," he said, blushing furiously. "Why would you say that?"

Max raised an eyebrow suggestively. "Oh, no. Maybe you don't like her. Maybe the mad redness on your face is an allergic response to her name."She laughed some more. "Come on, Alexander!" she patted his shoulder. "You better do it soon before Jason Fletcher does it for you." Alex frowned.

"I know, I know," Alex said when he swallowed the last piece of his sandwich and started mixing his chocolate drink with a teaspoon. "I just don't know what to say to her. I don't even think she likes me back."

"How will you know, if you've never been trying?"

"I don't know. I guess if she shows signs I guess," Alex chuckled sheepishly. "I guess I won't have the improvement in romance Raven's been having lately." Fang's smile curved down into a frown as he was reminded of Adam, his fifteen-year-old daughter's boyfriend. He couldn't believe it at first. He thought it was some sort of big bad joke or nightmare. But he saw it in her dark eyes, which were reflections of his own; that she was actually in love with that asshole. He of course knew that the day would come that his beautiful little girl would grow to be a woman and fall in love, but never like this, never to someone like him.

First of all, Raven was a quiet, shy and reserved girl. She had long, dark hair; like her father's that she wore the same way everyday. Her pale skin was the only thing light about her, because also she wears black every single day. Much like Fang himself. Even her wings were as black as night. She wasn't like his twin, Alex who has lots of friends, played sports and was pretty popular around school. Her friends had always only been Alex, and the other bird kids of the bird kids of the flock. She was athletic alright; she could beat up every bully that comes her way. She just doesn't like that social interaction that comes along with joining sports, so she just played at home. Nobody at school even knows she exists since she spent most of her time painting, hidden in a small room at their school. Nobody even knows who she is, much less know that she's Alex Ride, the super hot, and super cool guy's twin sister. They didn't even look like siblings.

And to hear that she was falling in love with the school's hunk quarter back who probably already broken a bunch of hearts was well, heartbreaking. Raven was strong alright, but she was pretty intense with her feelings. And heartbreak would just be, well, intense. He remembered how she first told him about Adam, her tone still filled with resentment, that had eventually turn into love.

….

FLASHBACK

Adam's so-called "dreamy" blue eyes widened as he saw Raven's dark wings unfurl before him. She turned around and notice for the first time that she had company, and her dark eyes focused coldly on him. "You followed me," she said, her tone having a pinch of resentment to it. She bit her lip. "Why must you always follow me and ruin everything? She was so sick of this jerk, teasing and following her all the time, just to try to get her to like him and show her that well, "Everybody likes Adam." Just because every other girl in this school would kill to be with him, doesn't mean she has to, too.

"Nice on, Ray," Adam whistled when he regained himself. "You're a winged freak."

Raven winced. "Watch it, Ace!" she said, venom practically oozing from her voice. If she had vampire-like, pointed incisors, she would have barred them at him. "If you tell everyone or anyone about this," she pointed to her dark wings, "I'll swear I'll drop you off a cliff." She then winced again, being reminded of the fact that her left wing was actually sprained. She had unfurled them in a spot she thought no one could see her just to check for injuries, but unfortunately Adam the Ace followed her.

Adam chuckled as he watched her hold her wing, obviously trying to hide the pain. He's seen that look many times before, from his sports experiences. "I don't think you could do that right now, baby."

"Don't call me that!" Raven's impulses made her punch him on the shoulder, making him cry out in pain. Adam's eyes widened all over again. And then he whistled, all over again. "Nice hard knuckles you got there." He rubbed his shoulder where she had punched him.

"Tell you what," he grinned maliciously. "I'll keep your little secret, if you agree to be my girlfriend."

Raven's dark eyes shot darts at him, but he didn't get the message. "No way," she replied icily. Adam then took out something from his backpack. A camera phone. Bad. Way bad. "Then get ready to kiss that little secret goodbye, Ride."

Raven gulped. She had promised her family that there would be no more bird kid media circus in their lives. No one must know their secrets. So, no matter how painful and irritating this whole thing was going to be, she took a deep breath and said, "fine."

Adam laughed and put his camera phone back in his pack. "Alright," he nodded. "So it's official, then, sweetie."

"I thought I told you not to call me that!" Raven balled her fists, getting ready to punch his other shoulder. Adam smirked. "Hey, hey! Calling you whatever I want is part of the deal." He took her hand, and she immediately slapped it away. "Nu-uh! You also have to do other bf-gf things with me."

"Now," he held her hand, and looked at her as his eyes glittered more and more maliciously, "hide those wings of yours, and we'll be going out tonight. In public." Raven bitterly hid her wings, wincing a little at the movement of her sprained one. Adam lead her to open school grounds, were most of the students were at. Most of the girls eyed at Raven disgusted, as they saw her hand intertwined with Adam's. Her heart was beating loudly.

They finally reached the fountain at the school entrance. Adam high-fived his teammates, wearing the same jackets as he was. "Who is this?" his dark skinned friend asked as he pointed a finger at Raven, raising an eyebrow.

Raven tried not to look like she was absolutely loathing the situation, which she was, but it wasn't working. "My new beau," Adam said, wrapping an arm around her, but winced it pain realizing he had used the arm she'd punched. His friend frowned and shook his head. "I don't know her, she new?" Adam shook his head. "Nope, been around for a while," he smiled smugly, "I think."

His friends laughed, and Raven couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Yeah, I've seen her before, I think," Adam's blonde and six-foot-five tall friend said as he rubbed his chin to think. "It was at the art room, I think. She was painting something. Not sure if it was really her, though."

"Yeahp, that was her," Adam kissed Raven's forehead, and she tried her best not to throw up. "My little artist."

"Didn't know you were into art, man!" another one of his friends said, and punched him fortunately on his other shoulder.

"I am all into art, guys!" he chuckled. "Specially painting of the ladies," he leaned closer to them, "naked." He and his buddies laughed. Raven bit her lip. It took all her will power now not to beat all of them up. "So, will she be the one in those paintings?" A friend asked. In that moment, Raven couldn't help herself, and started to ball her fists, getting ready to beat the crap out if his ass. But Adam held her back, the tips of his fingers brushing her stomach lightly. He pulled her into his chest, and she could hear his heart beat.

In that moment, she felt a sensation which was way too foreign for her. Her heart rate increased, as she was standing their pressed against Adam's rock-hard chest. Her "beat someone up" reflexes died down. It felt strange. And somehow, good. She shook her head, hopefully trying to shake the feeling off.

"Feisty one," Adam chuckled. "Now if you excuse me, we have things to do." His friend raised an eyebrow and smirked as Adam led Raven away. He turned to her, smirking. Raven glared at him. "You know you're not supposed to beat up your boyfriend's teammates."

"Well, you-"

Her sentence was interrupted by his lips, pressing against hers. The cuss words in her head were replaced by uuhhhs. Suddenly, his hand was lightly pressed on her back, the other on her cheek. She would hate to admit this to anyone, even herself, but her heart was pounding, and butterflies started to flutter in stomach. She even felt.. were those fireworks? Her lips taking control, having a mind of their own, suddenly kissed back. She mentally slapped herself, but still felt too good to stop. Adam deepened the kiss, and she felt a little light headed.

When he pulled back, his eyes widened unexpectedly. Raven realized for the first time that his deep blue eyes were indeed dreamy. They looked so innocent and stunned in that moment; they even started to look beautiful. His tousled brown hair really was cute. She mentally slapped herself again. What was she thinking?

They made some more eye contact, and in that moment, Adam didn't look like his jerk self. His eyes lacked that malicious glint. He swallowed. Adam had underestimated the feelings he would get after kissing her. He didn't expect to feel something different from kissing the other girls. "I," he tried, and found himself slowly running his hand up and down her back, "gotta go to practice. See you around." He left, with the same dumbstruck expression. Raven just wanted to grab a pillow and scream.

…..

Now, Fang had completely regretted making her tell the detailed story, scarring him. How dare he do that to his baby, his little girl? He almost flew to Adam's house to bust his lights out if Raven would stop him. She insisted on handling this on her own. But from the look in her eyes, somehow, she had no intentions of fixing this situation. Crap.

"Fang?" he snapped out of his reverie as he heard Max's voice call out to him. He stood up with a little difficulty from the little one in her womb. "You okay? You were spacing out."

Fang was usually expressionless, and if he had an expression, it was hard to read unless you knew him for a long time. But Max grew better and better at reading him. She said it was like solving a riddle or puzzle, which frankly, he didn't get.

He nodded. Max took his hand, being unconvinced. "I know what you're thinking, Fang. And," she reached up to lightly touch his dark hair, "I'm worried about her too. But if we handle all her problems for her, then she would grow up not knowing how to face them. Besides, if he ever breaks her heart," she smirked, "we'll break him."

Fang smirked back.

"You guys aren't going to kiss in front of me, are you?" Alex complained.

"Put a sock in it," Max leaned in anyways, but they were interrupted by a ring of the doorbell. Alex opened the door, and found his sister before him. Her expression was blank, but she knew she had just spent time with Adam, who apparently "really, truly, loves her after all." Their relationship had just stopped being a joke. It was a nightmare. Alex hated Adam from the beginning.

"Oh, hey, Ray," Max said, pulling away from her husband. "What's up?"

She shrugged in response, "not much." She slowly walked up a staircase (which was just placed in the house so the guest wouldn't be suspicious, but they don't actually need. Redundancy, really.). Fang felt like he was going crazy, and bit his lip. If his little girl was going up to her room to paint it pink and write about Adam in her diary, he was going to totally lose it.

End of First Chapter.

Please review. I know it's kinda cliché. But I think you guys would understand things a lot more if you actually knew what happened to their daughter.. It wasn't supposed to focus on that but, I got carried away on the back story. Oh, well. I guess the story was meant to be told. The title will make sense when you read the ending. BUT PLEASE REVIEW, OR I WILL SEND A BUNCH OF ERASERS, FLYBOYS AND MGEEKS AFTER YOU.. *laughs devilishly*
