Goliath's POV
I was very much enjoying the play as was Serenity. Laughter was indeed the best medicine and tonight's performance didn't disappoint. The ball scene came and went along with the famous balcony scene with Romeo and Juliet.
When the young couple kissed there was a roar of approval from the audience. The same thing happened when the couple were married secretly. As the scene involving Tybalt challenging Romeo to a duel unfolded, I looked to my Warrior of Flame. Her hazel eyes were glued to the stage and I could tell she was on the edge of her seat.
Quietly I picked her hand up and pressed it to my lips and my beautiful mate blushed. I then returned my attention back to the performance and became just as engrossed with the duel as it began. When Mercutio died a chorus of boos rang out.
Michelle's POV
"Come on guys call it a night," Hannah told Brooklyn, Hudson, and Lex.
"Not yet" Lex answered my sister.
I was getting bored and was in the mood for riding my new motorcycle. An idea then formed in my head and I approached Brooklyn.
"A second Firebird"
But the red-colored gargoyle changed his mind at the mention of a motorcycle ride.
"I call it quits," my other half said placing his cards down in defeat.
Lex voiced his disapproval while Hudson chuckled.
"I knew you wouldn't resist a motorcycle ride" I teased Brooklyn as we went outside.
"I was going to quit anyway" my mate admitted. "I was getting tired and I will never pass up an opportunity to spend time with my Firebird"
I was then taken into Brooklyn's arms and soon we were in the air.
Serenity's PO
The play was holding its intermission so people could stretch their legs.
"I can't count how many times I've laughed tonight," I told Goliath.
"It's a shame Shakespeare didn't make this play a comedy" my Beloved of Night responded.
Nearby I caught a few unmated females eyeballing Goliath and I shot them a back-off glare. They chose that moment to bail before Goliath took notice.
Now you should go easy on the unmated females my dragon suggested.
Aww hell no, Goliath is f**king ours
You know what you got a point there
"I know that look Serenity"
Damn it!
It looks like Goliath saw me glaring at the unmated females after all. With a soft chuckle, my Beloved of Night wrapped his wings around me and his forehead touched mine. My jealousy immediately went away and a blush replaced it.
Puck's POV
"Looks like you wore the two of them out," Mr. Xanatos said as he eyed the sleeping Alex in his bassinet. Eden was in my arms and out cold like my charge.
"I would think so, sometimes I just wish Goliath wasn't so overprotective"
"You can't exactly blame him" Mr. Xanatos continued. His eyes went to the sleeping little girl in my arms. "Children are precious to gargoyles and Goliath loves his daughters"
My employer then flashed me a smirk.
"Sir?"
"One day when you become a parent will you understand how it feels"
Immediately I went red at that and Mr. Xanatos chuckled before focusing his attention back on Alex. I was suddenly hit with a vision.
Before me was a beautiful human woman with jet-black hair and hazel eyes. I knew this was my Eden and I felt ridiculous at feeling shy.
"Since when does the trickster become flustered?" the adult Eden teased me.
"Since I'm experiencing a vision"
She chuckled before she approached me.
"In time my Mischievous One I will be what you see before you"
She then transformed into her gargoyle state and she still was beautiful. She wore a golden dress that was tattered on the skirt. My eyes went wide when she kissed me but eventually, I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her back.
That was how the vision ended and careful not to wake her I pressed a kiss on Eden's tiny forehead. As though she felt the kiss my Sweet One smiled in her sleep.
Serenity's POV
With the intermission over the play resumed and a lot transpired. From the slaying of Tybalt to where Romeo was exiled. Before his exile, Romeo and Juliet shared a cute scene where they lay in one another's arms. When Lord Capulet told Juliet she was marrying Paris the entire audience booed and then they whistled when Juliet told her father off. Of course, the telling was off was funny, and no foul language was used. It wasn't long until Juliet sought the help of Friar Laurence and she was given the supposed poison that would put her under a deep sleep. Romeo of course hears of this and after he purchases poison does he rush to Juliet's side.
"Oh god don't drink it dude" I muttered under my breath as the crowd including Goliath shouted at Romeo to stop.
Thankfully before he could drink the poison Juliet woke up from her slumber and after tossing the poison aside did the young couple embrace. That earned a loud cheer from the audience and the play ended with Romeo and Juliet disappearing from all existence. The two of them each left notes for their respective families in which the Montagues and Capulets were told off for all of the ridiculous fighting between them. Ashamed both families ended their feud and Prince Escalus was enjoying a drink with a down in the dumps Paris.
"That was fun," I told Goliath.
"It was indeed" my Beloved of Night agreed. "I enjoyed that"
Later Back At Serenity's Apartment
"Puck said he had a vision where Eden was older" Goliath informed me after he finished putting Eden into her crib.
"I had a similar vision during the events of the Hunter's Moon" I added and Goliath had my full attention. "When Angela fell from the roof I blacked out and saw Eden as an adult in her human form"
I looked at our sleeping daughter and I intertwined a hand into Goliath's.
"She was there to reassure me that everything would be alright and she was right"
"I wonder if she has a gift of her own"
I arched an eyebrow in curiosity at my mate.
"Didn't you say some dragons have magical abilities"
Though it was rare some of my kind would gain a magical talent.
"Yes but only time will tell if our daughter has visions or not"
She has visions my dragon interrupted. I can feel it
"What did your dragon tell you?"
"She said our child indeed has a magical talent and that's visions"
Goliath smiled at that before carefully placing a gentle kiss on Eden's head so she wouldn't be woken up by accident.
