Week of December 18 - Secret Diary #3
3 weeks have passed since Goliath and I returned from our honeymoon, and Goliath promised me that we would go back to that spot in mountains one day. Also, I told Morgan that she can use that spot when she gets married to Brooklyn.
Also, I've been feeling sick lately. I would wake up in the morning, and I would run to the bathroom to throw up. I've also been having cravings as well, and it's been really strange. I was now heading to the clock tower, and I then made it as I saw Goliath on the balcony.
"Hello, Sally.", Goliath said with a lovingly glint in his eyes and a warm smile. "Hi, Goliath.", I said with a smile, and he then kissed me on the temple softly.
"How are you feeling?", Goliath asked in concern as he looked at me gently. "Not great as I still feel sick.", I said with a frustrated sigh.
"Do you know what it is, my love?", Goliath asked gently. "I don't know what it can be. I'll stop by the doctor later.", I said with a shake of my head.
We then went inside, and we started watching tv. I cuddled against Goliath's chest, and then Elisa came up. "Hi, Elisa.", I said, giving her a bright smile. "Hi.", Elisa said, smiling before frowning with a sigh.
"What's wrong?", I asked in concern. Elisa then told us that she was having dinner with her family, and her sister said that she saw someone outside her window, and she had a feeling that it was Derek.
"A lie by omission is still a lie. But how can I tell them the truth about Derek? 'Hi, Mom and Dad, your son's not missing. He's just been transformed by Xanatos into a bat-winged Mutate named Talon.' I don't think so.", Elisa scoffed lightly as she crossed her arms.
"And by the way, you know that you gotta be more careful. Beth spotted you outside my window.", Elisa said with a glance at us. "I wasn't at your window." Goliath said quietly, looking confused.
"Me neither.", I said softly with a shake of my head. "Then it was one of the others.", Elisa said, looking thoughtful.
"Hudson and Bronx are watching TV. And the trio are at the concert in the park.", Goliath said with a shrug. "Maybe it was Derek.", Elisa said, widening her eyes with hope.
"Talon and the other Mutates are back with Xanatos. I've seen them flying to and from the Eyrie Building." Goliath said with a sigh. "Xanatos? Why didn't you tell me?", Elisa asked in shock, glaring at him angrily.
"There didn't seem to be anything you or I could do. Talon has made his choice. I had hoped to spare you this pain.", Goliath said quietly, looking pained. "I don't accept that! We've got to get him away from Xanatos. I need to see my brother now." Elisa said with a angry growl.
"We'll go with you.", I said as I got up from the couch. "No, you stay here, Sally.", Goliath told me sternly with a look.
"Why? Goliath, you know that I can help.", I said with a frustrated growl. "Because you're not feeling well, and you need to see a doctor.", Goliath told me with a worried look.
"Alright, I'll stay, and be careful, Goliath.", I said softly as I sighed, giving in. "I will.", Goliath said warmly.
Goliath kissed me on the lips softly, and he then picked up Elisa. They started gliding in the direction of Xanatos' building. I sighed heavily. Off to the doctor, I guess.
I had just come back from the doctor, and I still hadn't opened the bag yet which had the medication that I had to take as I was in my apartment. "Well, let's see what I have to take.", I muttered to myself as I then grabbed the first item, and when I took it out, I was shocked to see what it was. A pregnancy test.
Wait, could it be that the reason I have been feeling sick and getting cravings is because I am pregnant? No, let's not jump to conclusions. I have to try the test first, and then I will see if I am pregnant. I then went to the bathroom with the pregnancy test stick in my hand.
A few seconds later, I came back to the kitchen, and I was waiting for the test to show me if I was pregnant or not. A minute later, it showed the results. Two lines, which meant that..I am really pregnant. I then felt dizzy and before I could control myself, I fainted.
"Sally, wake up.", I heard Draven call out lightly, and I felt him shake my body as I slowly opened my eyes. "What happened?", I asked in surprise as Draven then helped me get back up
"You fainted after you saw the results from the pregnancy test.", Draven said with a raised eyebrow and a quirk of a smile. I almost forgot! Yeah, the results said that I was pregnant.
"Draven, is it true that I really am...", I was saying in shock as I wasn't getting fully used to the term. "Yes, you are pregnant with Goliath's child.", Draven said with a happy and proud smile.
I felt tears of joy fall down my face, and I then felt Draven hug me. "I'm so happy! I can't wait to tell Goliath.", I said, crying happily. "You should also let your family and friends know, Sally.", Draven said with a nod.
"I will tell them too, but Draven, tell me. Can you sense that if I will give birth to my child like a human or do I will lay an egg like a Gargoyle does?", I asked curiously and nervously.
Draven then placed his hand on my stomach gently as a shimmer of blue aura surrounded his hand and my stomach. "You are going to lay a egg just like a Gargoyle.", Draven smiled brightly with a shrug. I smiled happily, but I was kinda disappointed since I knew when I would lay my child's egg, it would take a while for it to hatch.
"Speaking of which, can you sense if it's a boy or a girl?", I asked anxiously. "Not yet, I will have to see once you lay the egg.", Draven said, giving me a warm smile. He then froze up, and I saw his eyes glow blue, it meant he was having a vision.
"Draven? What did you see?", I asked nervously. "Sally...Goliath is in trouble. He is fighting Derek and the other mutates.", Draven said, looking upset and worried.
"What?", I asked in shock. "Derek and the mutates are blaming Goliath for their condition, and Goliath kidnapped Sevarius to force him to make a cure, but I sense that it will kill Derek and the mutates once they take it.", Draven said with a frustrated growl.
"I gotta go stop them now!", I shouted as I feel panicked. "I'll show you the way, follow me!", Draven shouted, and we then flew out my window as Draven started leading me to where Goliath might be.
"There, Sally.", Draven said hastily, pointing his clawed finger at a building. I launched a energy beam at the wall, and I was able to get inside.
I heard loud noises coming from the other side of the building, and I ran in the direction. I saw that I was inside a lab, and I then saw the mutates fighting Goliath. I saw a mutate resembling a tiger holding onto Elisa.
I then saw Derek aka Talon throw Goliath and he hit a wall. I gasped in horror as I saw that he was going to to use his electric powers to make the wall fall on top of Goliath, and I was not going to let that happen!
Running as fast as I can, I stood in front of Goliath, and I used my magic to form a shield to protect Goliath from the attack. "Sally!", Goliath said in shock and relief.
"Sally, great timing!", Elisa shouted with a grin. "Sally?", Talon asked in confusion, and knowing that the fight could get worse, I used a spell to freeze the mutates in place.
"What happened?!", Fang shouted in shock. "I can't move!", Maggie shouted in bewilderment. "Me neither!", Talon shouted in shock and anger. Elisa then walked over to me, looking surprised and amazed.
"What did you do, Sally?", Elisa asked me curiously. "I used a spell to freeze them in place.", I said with a chuckle and a shrug.
"Nice job, Sally, and thank you for saving me.", Goliath rumbled softly with a grateful smile. I smiled brightly before I noticed something. "Where is Sevarius?", I asked in confusion and surprise.
"That bastard must have escaped.", Elisa growled angrily. "Come on. Let's get the mutates to the clock tower.", I said with a gesture to the mutates. We then made it to the clock tower, and I used my telekinesis to make the mutates fly alongside us on the way. I then placed them on the ground.
"Guys, you're back! And you brought the mutates with you?", Morgan asked in shock and concern. "Don't worry, they can't move.", I said with a snort.
"Let us go!", Maggie shouted in anger. "Not until we make you realize something.", I said, growling at them sternly with a look.
"About what?", Talon asked in confusion. "That you shouldn't blame Goliath for your condition.", Elisa said with a frown.
"Goliath lied about Sevarius killing us, and Sevarius promised to cure us!", Maggie snarled. "That cure was going to kill you! It was poison!", I snarled back.
"What?!", Talon gasped in shock and horror. Draven then appeared. "Who's he?", Fang asked suspiciously.
"This is a Gargoyle spirit, and his name is Draven.", I said with a smile. "A spirit?", Maggie asked in awe and confusion.
"I'm here to grant you all a gift.", Draven said with a warm smile. "A gift?", Talon asked curiously.
"I may not be able to reverse the effects, but I will use a spell that will allow you all to be humans during the day.", Draven said with a thoughtful nod and a grin. "What!?", they all shouted in shock.
"We will be normal again?", Maggie asked in amazement. "Only during the day, for at night, you will all revert back to these forms.", Draven said with a light sigh.
"What about Claw? Can you make him talk again?", Talon asked in concern. "I'm afraid that he will only be able to talk when he's a human, but once he reverts back to this form, he'll be mute.", Draven said with a deep sigh.
"But why can't you get us to be humans completely?", Talon asked, looking frustrated. "Because what you have, you should see it more as a gift.", Draven said with a smile.
"Draven's right, Derek.", Elisa said with a grin. Talon then sighed, looking conflicted. "But where are we going to live?", Fang asked curiously with a bit of worry.
"I and Draven can take care of that. Follow us.", I said excitedly with a grin. I then unfroze them, and they followed me and Draven. Draven then used a spell to make a house appear, and beneath the house was a sewer.
"We owe you our gratitude.", Talon said, looking grateful after he shook my hand lightly. "No need to say it. I and Draven didn't like to see you all suffering.", I said with a warm smile.
"Oh thank you, Sally.", Maggie said happily with a few tears as she hugged me. "No worries, and if you ever need help, you know where to find me or the others.", I said with a grin. I then started gliding back to the tower, and I then made it back.
"You found them a home?", Goliath asked in surprise. "I did, and they will now live a double life like us.", I said, grinning happily.
"Sally, thank you.", Elisa said with a grateful smile. "Don't mention it.", I said with a chuckle and a wave of a hand.
Sally, don't forget what you are going to tell Goliath. Draven said softly. Right, I forgot! "Goliath, I have something to tell you, but if we speak inside.", I said excitedly and nervously. Everyone followed us inside as they were curious as well.
"What is it, my love?", Goliath asked in concern. "Well, I was able to figure out why I was feeling sick.", I said with a smile.
"What did the doctor say?", Elisa asked curiously. "He didn't say anything. I went home, and I took a test.", I said as my smile grew.
"A test?", Goliath asked in confusion. Morgan and Elisa's eyes widened as they realized what I was saying. "Wait, Sally if you took a test, does that mean..", Morgan asked with hope in her voice.
"What does it mean?", Goliath asked in concern. "Yeah, what are you girls talking about?", Brooklyn asked, looking confused.
"I would like to know as well.", Hudson said with a nod. "Yeah, you're making me confused.", Lexington said, looking confused.
"Me too.", Broadway said, looking impatient. "It means that I am pregnant...with your child, Goliath.", I said softly blushing, and Goliath's eye's widened in awe and surprise.
"I knew it!", Elisa said, squealing happily as she pumped her arm in victory. "I'm so happy!", Morgan shouted in joy, leaping with a laugh.
Goliath then ran forward, and embraced me in a huge hug. He then spun me around as I laughed heartily and happily. "You've made me the happiest Gargoyle ever!", Goliath rumbled happily, and Goliath then kissed me passionately.
"That's awesome!", Brooklyn cheered loudly. "We're not the last Gargoyles anymore!", Lexington laughed happily.
"I can't wait when it comes!", Broadway roared happily. "The clan's growing bigger and bigger by the second.", Hudson complimented warmly with a smile. Bronx barked happily, and he went over to nuzzle against me.
"Are you going to give birth to your child? Or are you going to lay an egg like a Gargoyle does?", Morgan asked curiously with a wide smile.
"I'm going to lay an egg. Draven was able to sense it.", I said with a grin. "Was he able to sense if you were going to have a boy or girl?", Elisa asked, looking excitedly.
"He wasn't, but he said that when I lay my egg, he will able to sense it or maybe by the time when it is fully formed in my belly.", I said with a smile. "This is incredible news, Sally!", Goliath rumbled warmly.
"I'm happy too, Goliath. We're going to have a baby in this family.", I said with a excited smile. "You know what this means?", Elisa asked with a laugh. "Baby shower!", Morgan said, cheering in joy.
"Baby shower?", Goliath asked in confusion. "It's a party for when a girl is pregnant, but I think we should wait until we know the gender of the baby.", I said with a smirk.
"I am so happy, my love. I so want to see our little one when it comes.", Goliath purred warmly and happily. Goliath then placed his hands on my belly gently, caressing it as he kissed my temple softly.
"Me too, Goliath. I can't wait to meet our little one.", I purred excitedly and happily as I nuzzled against him with his arms wrapped around me as I joined my hands upon his, feeling complete.
