Aprilangel413: Hey here's that next chapter
Disclaimer: I don't own Gargoyles
Fiona walked into to Alex's room and looked around. Alex was nowhere to be seen. It was three o'clock, they had slept most of the day and she had woken up about an hour ago.
"Alex where are you." She called into the room.
"Right here." Came the answer.
Alex emerged from his bathroom with nothing but a towel on. Fiona stared for a minute before she remember why she came looking for him.
"You want to do something?" She asked turning around so Alex could change.
"Like what?" Alex inquired as he slid his boxers on.
"You could teach me how to play baseball."
"You know how to play baseball."
"No actually I know how to watch baseball. I don't know how to swing a bat or throw a ball."
"Fine, give me a minute and I meet you on the balcony."
Fiona walked on to the balcony to see Alex waiting for her. He had changed into some gray baggy pants and a white wife beater. He was leaning on the ledge staring at the city. Fiona snuck up on him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Hey."
"Hey." He responded.
"Let's start." She said spotting his bat bag on the ground.
"We can't play here, we're going to the park." He said as he turned around to see Fiona picking up the bat bag.
She was wearing a white t-shirt with the Yankees symbol on it, and tight jeans. He had to remember to thank his father for getting a tailor who could make clothes to fit Fiona so well.
"Um…lets go." He said and they took off.
Fiona stood at home plate at Yankee stadium. The owner of the team had let them barrow the field for two hours. Alex had set up the pitching machine and was watching Fiona try and hit the ball.
"I can't do this." She said dropping the bat.
"Come on anybody can hit a baseball." He said walking towards her.
"Then show me." She said picking up the bat and handing it to him.
"No way, you're not going toget me do all the work."
But he took the bat from her anyway. He shoved her into the batters box and put the bat in her hands. Then he positioned himself behind her, his hands on top of hers.
"On the count of three ok. 1…2…3 swing." He said moving the bat over home plate.
The bat made contact with the ball and it flew over second base.
"Was that so hard?" Alex asked his girlfriend.
"No. But all that work made me hungry, wanna grab something on the way home?"
"Sure. Wait who said we were going home?"
"It's almost five and the suns gonna set. I think it's a good idea to be there when the clan wakes up."
"I don't, your dad was ready to kill me last night." Alex said remembering Goliath's face last night.
"Ok then how about we just make sure that we're in the castle?" She bargaining with him.
"Do I have another choice?" He asked putting away his mit and bat.
"No."
"Then that sounds good."
Goliath broke apart his stone skin and roared into the night air. When he looked around he saw his wife, his eldest daughter, his grandson, and the rest of his clan, except Fiona. He walked up to his wife and kissed her.
"Have a nice sleep big guy?"
"Wonderful. Tell me where is Fiona?"
"She got here a couple of minutes ago. I asked her if she wanted to stay but she said that she had plans. She and Alex are at the pool I think."
Goliath growled at the sound of Alex's name.
"I need to have a little talk with them." He said and then stormed off to the pool.
Elisa was about to follow him when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see Angela.
"I think you should wait." Angela said in a very serous tone.
Fiona sat at the edge of the pool with her feet in the water as Alex swam around. He had on blue swim trunks while Fiona wore a blood red bikini.
"Come on, this is a heated pool and I don't like to be in here alone." Alex complained.
"But I can't swim, my wings get in the way and I can't kick with these legs." Fiona stated.
"Little things."
"I'll sink."
"No you won't, and if you do I'm here to save you."
"Oh that's very comforting."
"Hey." Alex whined as he climbed out of the pool.
Fiona started backing away from Alex as he stalked towards her. Finally they broke in to a run and Fiona was being chased around the pool. When Fiona felt someone's arms latch around she screamed, playfully of course.
Goliath heard Fiona scream and ran to the pool. He stopped at the doorway and stared into the large room. Alex had Fiona in his arms bridle style by the edge of the pool.
"Alex don't you dare!"
Then he dropped her, there was a huge splash and Fiona started to sink. Alex dove in and pulled her up.
"Alex if you weren't the only thing holding me up right now, I would kill you." She yelled at him.
"I saved you didn't I?"
"Can you just get me out of here?"
"As you wish my love." Alex said carrying Fiona up the steps and laying her on a beach chair.
He leaned in and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around him and he did the same. Goliath was ready to rip Alex's throat, but he didn't. He felt a soft hand on his shoulder and turned to face Elisa and Angela. Elisa pulled her husband away from the doorway and Angela entered. She crossed her arms over her chest and cleared her throat. The two teens pulled themselves apart and looked up at the female gargoyle.
"You two better pry yourselves apart before your parents find you."
Alex stood and helped Fiona up. Angela tossed them two towels and turned and left. Fiona forgetting about how wet she was followed her sister.
"Hey wait up." Fiona shouted down the hall.
She caught up to her sister and looked her in the eye.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to."
"What?"
"Father was standing at the door."
"Oh crap."
"Yeah."
"We were just playing around."
"I noticed."
"I didn't mean it like that."
"I think you did."
They walked in silence until they ran into Broadway and Malcolm.
"Hey how are my guys." Angela asked picking up Malcolm and kissing Broadway on the cheek.
"I won twenty bucks." Malcolm said proudly.
Broadway sighed as Angela gave him a glare.
"Brooklyn taught him poker, the kid's good." Broadway admitted.
Angela placed her son on the ground and sighed.
"Why don't you go put that in your piggy bank?"
"Ok mommy." He said as he ran off to his room.
"I'm gonna go make a snack, seeya later." Said Broadway as he walked down the hallway.
Angela and Fiona watched the two guys retreat from their sights. Then Fiona turned to her sister.
"Do you think I can have that, some day?" Fiona asked her sister.
"Have what?" Angela inquired.
"A kid and a loving mate."
Angela had never really thought of her sister as the family type. And when she said mate that's when the light bulb clicked in her head.
"Yeah, someday, as in not now. Why are you asking?"
"Well if I were all gargoyle and raised in a big clan then I would be choosing a mate right about now. Is that right?"
Angela did a little mental math and nodded.
"But you're not all gargoyle, you're human too."
"And humans wait longer to pick mates, or spouses, or what ever."
"What's your point?"
"I want Alex to be my mate, officially."
Angela paused for a second and then continued.
"I don't think Elisa or dad would like that too much."
"I figured as much."
"And you do know that once you choose that you can't go back."
"Dad did."
"That's different, he thought…hey how do you know about Demona?"
"I…um… anyways I wouldn't want to go back. I love Alex." Fiona said trying to get the topic not to be Demona.
Fionaran into her room and shut the door. She knew Alex would be there any minute. And she was right, he walked in a minute after her.
"Alex I want to tell everyone."
Alex nearly choked on air.
"I want to announce that you are my mate, and I love you."
Alex stood at awe as the words clicked in his head.
"I love you too but do you really think we should tell them?"
"Angela knows and she'll break soon. It's either her or us, and I think that the clan would rather hear it from us."
"I think the clan would rather not hear it at all."
"Come on they're not that bad."
"They'll except your decision, but they'll kill me when they find out what we've been doing."
"Well I'm telling them know." Fiona said as she got up and ran out of the room.
She ran down the halls with lightening speed and reached the balcony just as the clan was climbing up onto the ledge.
"Hey guys." Fiona yelled
They all turned to see her run onto the balcony with Alex right behind her.
"Alex has been my mate for a year!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as the sun came up.
The members of the clan froze crouched wide-eyed stareing at Fiona and the newly arrived Alex. Unfortunately Fiona had forgotten about the non-gargoyle member of the clan, her mother.
"What?"
The couple spun around and spotted Elisa, mad as hell.
"Hi mom how long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough."
Fiona leaned over and whispered into Alex's ear.
"Run."
"Not with out you."
Elisa grabbed the two teens and dragged them to the couch in the common room.
Alex sat in his room and his couch. Fiona walked in and sat on his lap. She ran her fingers through his hair and rubbed his chest.
"Are you crazy, your mom just finished yelling at us, and once the sun sets you dad is going to kill me."
"I don't care, I love you."
"I love you too but I want to live."
Fiona stood up and glared at Alex.
"Well what do you suggest?" She asked.
Alex reached into a drawer next to the couch and pulled out a small black velvet box. He opened it up and revealed a sliver ring with a huge diamond in the center with two smaller diamonds next to it.
"Marry me."
"I…I…yes."
She sat back down and he placed it on her finger.
