Story: Cosmo
“How are you feeling? Are you excited? Do you want to go back? Are introductions okay?”
He wasn’t sure what Hawk wanted, but he knew that he wanted his mate to feel as comfortable as he could.
“I’m fine just… I can’t believe this. It’s beautiful.”
Cosmo nodded, looking around at the oranges and reds of the sunset, the green grass. “It is and so different. You can fly here for hours, and nobody’s going to care.”
“And so can our baby.” Hawk’s grin was huge. “I know you were worried about that.”
“Yeah. It was the boss, you know, who told me that we’d better try. Because you know, you’re here. You’re a guardian too. A real dragon guardian. Maybe even more than me because I’m sort of a dragon slash fae guardian.” Cosmo chuckled, but there was always that uncertainty lurking.
“Stop it. You’re fine, you’re perfect, and you’re everything I need.”
“Flattery will get you laid.” Cosmo winked over, loving the smile on his mate’s face. “So it’s time for pizza and to meet everybody for real. You’re gonna love the boss.”
Gavin was one of the best men he knew.
Hawk nodded, the motion firm, solid. “He was determined to find you. That’s enough. And we worked well together.”
“I can see that.” He drew Hawk to the picnic area, and they were surrounded in no time, a dizzying array of dragons vying to meet Hawk.
“Me!” That was the shout that rang out over everyone else, and they all turned to see Puck’s little one, Robin, run over and grab Hawk’s leg. “Up!”
“You, hmm?” Hawk bent to swing him into the air.
“Me, me,” Little Robin cheered, those bright eyes just glowing, his arms held out like he was flying. Austin and Puck were watching with wide eyes. Utterly, perfectly shocked.
“Oh, will you look at that?” Cosmo breathed.
Little Robin was the shy one, and he never seemed to want to be with anyone but his dads, but look at this.
“Hawk, Robin. Robin, Hawk.”
He could see Hawk’s expression… just sort of melt. “Oh, he has a bird name too,” Hawk said.
“He does. He so does.”
God, Cosmo loved magic. He just loved how it made things happen.
He headed over to sit, his body heavy with the baby. “I can’t believe how wonderful that is.”
“Did you just see?” Puck chuckled. “I can’t believe this.”
“That’s your mate, is it?” Austin asked, and he nodded.
“That’s my heart. Isn’t he beautiful? He’s like Gavin and Zeke and Ty.”
“He’s huge. You know, I’m not the kind to feel insignificant, but damn.” Austin shook his head.
Puck patted his mate. “You are everything. Absolutely everything.”
Puck’s words made Austin just beam. And he liked that, especially because he knew it worked when he did it too.
Austin was right, though. He had chosen a mate, or a mate had chosen him, who was easily as big as Gavin, possibly bigger, equal to him, and a guardian.
“And he’s a guardian, and he can come back and forth.”
The words just burst out of him, and everyone stopped for a moment, stared, and then began to chuckle and to congratulate him and Hawk, who was holding little Robin like he was enrapt.
