I skipped most of the Avalon tour because the episodes were pretty boring lol. In this chapter Goliath, Angela, Bronx, and Serenity return to New York.
Serenity's POV
"About time" I said as we entered the familiar waters of Manhattan. After leaving Nigeria we visited countless other places where Avalon thought we needed to go. We visited London, Egypt, Ireland, Australia, Scandinavia, a mysterious island called New Olympus inhabited by monsters instead of humans, Guatemala, Easter Island, and Arizona.
We then returned to Avalon and here we met Oberon. The fae lord was a bully and wanted to kick the residents off of his land. But thanks to Goliath, Angela, and Gabriel standing up to Oberon did the fae lord eventually give in and decided to live with the Avalon gargoyle clan in peace. It was also thanks to Titania because of her assistance the Avalon clan could stay. She also remarried Oberon which pleased him.
Guinevere had given birth to her baby and it was a girl. She and Diablo named their child Mary and the newborn was a precious little thing. She had her father's coloring and was immune to becoming stone during the day. Goliath and I also met David, Guinevere's brother. He had his father's white hair and his mother's eyes. His mate was a female gargoyle with a sense of humor named Anne. Anne was a bronze colored gargoyle with white hair that flowed from her head to her mid back.
She wore a dress similar to Angela's only it was gold. Now after being gone from New York for almost two weeks I was very glad to be home. I would need to make an appointment with the OB/GYN clan doctor to see how far long into my pregnancy I was. My dragon and I guessed we were into the third or fourth week but only an ultrasound would tell. Eden still made me sick much to my dismay and Goliath's amusement.
Goliath pulled the boat up to a pier and helped Angela and I out of the boat.
"Welcome to New York, Angela" I told my stepdaughter as she eyed the many buildings around us in fascination.
"I already like this place" Angela said with pride.
"It's one of the few states in America where hunting and killing dragon shifters is illegal" I added.
"I think we kept the clan waiting long enough" Goliath interrupted. "And I'm sure you're exhausted my Warrior of Flame"
"Yeah I am and our daughter is to blame" I replied.
Goliath chuckled before walking over and he placed a hand against my belly.
"She's just proving how strong she is"
I rolled my eyes and Angela scooped into her arms while Goliath picked up Bronx. He then took flight and Angela followed her father. Storm clouds gathered as we got closer to the clock tower and when we landed lightning flashed.
Bronx immediately barked and ran inside. Angela placed me onto my feet and Goliath took my hand into his before we entered the clock tower with Angela following. Bronx was on top of Hudson licking him like crazy.
"Bronx that must mean?!" Lex exclaimed.,
"We're back guys" I told the clan. Goliath then picked me up bridal style and glided to where the others were. My mate set me onto my feet and the others rushed forward happy to see us back. Lex and Brooklyn hugged Goliath while Broadway walked over to me and did the same. A few second later I was embraced by Brooklyn and Lex.
"Serenity!" Michelle exclaimed and after Lex and Brooklyn finished hugging me did she and Hannah rush over. Both sisters embraced me and I returned the gesture. It was then I scented that Hannah was now mate bound to Lexington.
I teased the young phoenix and she flushed red. Hudson was the last to come over to me and he gave me the usual warm hug a grandfather would do with a grandchild. I then looked to Angela and she glided down next to her father. Everyone eyed her with great interest and Goliath proudly held his hand out. Angela took it and stepped forward.
"This is Angela my daughter" Goliath introduced.
Hudson smiled and immediately went over to Angela and hugged her. She hugged the elder back and I smirked knowing Angela was very happy.
Goliath explained we met other gargoyles around the world where Avalon sent us. This excited the boys and the phoenix sisters.
"Hey what's that new scent?" Brooklyn asked. "It's coming from you Serenity"
Goliath chose this moment to walk over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"She's with child" Goliath beamed looking to me with pride. "Our child"
"Say what?!" Michelle shouted. "Oh hell yeah!"
My best friend rushed over and gave me another hug careful not to put pressure on my stomach.
"Congratulations you two" Hudson said eying me and Goliath.
"Yeah that's awesome news!" Broadway agreed.
"It's a girl my dragon scented the hormone" I explained. "Her name is Eden"
"That's a pretty name" Lex stated.
"I also forgot to congratulate you and Hannah as mates, Lex" I teased the olive skinned gargoyle. Immediately Lex and Hannah went red while Brooklyn went over to Michelle and kissed her cheek. Michelle playfully hit her mate's arm in affection blushing like her sister.
Later.
"It good to be back home" I told Goliath as we entered my apartment. I was tired and sleep called me especially since I was pregnant.
"You'll contact your physician tomorrow?" Goliath asked. I sighed and turned to my mate.
"Yes my Beloved of Night, you need to stop being overprotective"
"Call it my fatherly instinct" Goliath joked before coming over to me. He gently wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. His wings folded themselves around me and his lips met with mine.
His tongue intertwined with mine and it was breath taking the way he could skillfully do this with me. We broke apart a few minutes later so we could catch our breath. Goliath then unfolded his wings and picked me up bridal style. He carried me to my bedroom and when he reached it he placed me back onto my feet.
I changed out my clothes and got into a pair of black pajama pants and a purple tank top. Goliath purred when I had changed and I knew he had watched. It began to rain outside as I got into bed.
"Once I'm asleep get back to the tower, I don't like the thought of you being up and about in a storm" I ordered my mate firmly.
"I will my love, sleep for now" Goliath said as he came to the bedside and pulled the blankets onto me. He kissed my forehead and did the same onto my middle. I soon fell asleep and I wouldn't wake until several hours later.
