Christmas is the time for family and friends to spend time together. I invited all my closest friends to come and spend time with me and Liam. It has been years since we had a house full of people. My parents always went big at Christmas. They always invited the whole family, but after they died it was like the whole family just vanished from the face of the earth. This year we have something to celebrate. It was a hard year. The paperwork came back a week ago. I am officially Liam's legal guardian. No one will be able to take him away from me now. It is all thanks to Patrick.
Dominic closes the pub on Christmas and that is also the day that we are closed during the year. I am grateful for the time off away from the pub. Since Cleo was fired for the role that she played in taking my brother away, I have been working non-stop. We don't have another singer lined up.
There is a knock on the door. Kai is standing outside.
"Where is Ava?" I asked Kai. he is looking extremely nervous and I wonder why.
"She quickly went to her parent's house to drop off the presents she bought for them."
"Good, so we have some time to talk about the surprise you want me to be a part of?"
"You promised me a while ago that if I ever asked Ava to marry me that you will help me?"
"Yes, I remember. What about it?
"I want to ask her to marry me tonight. I was thinking after dinner and all the presents have been giving out that I will ask her to marry me then."
"O that is a great idea. I can't wait."
"Who did you invite?"
"I invited Domonic and his wife, Scott, you and Ava and Partick and his son."
"damn I didn't buy anyone presents."
"Don't worry about it. I am the only one that bought presents for everyone. All though I have to say that it is more of a thank you."
There is another knock on the door.
"Look who I found," Ava says smiling. Behind her is everyone that I invited. It is weird that everyone came at the exact same time.
Everyone went to sit the presents that they bought underneath the tree. Liam greeted everyone but took Jimmy and they ran off to play in his room. There are still a few minutes before our dinner is ready so with Ava's help I gave everyone some wine. Except for Domonic's wife. She is pregnant. Heavy pregnant actually. I think she has a week left to go before she is due to go into labor.
We all sat down at the table and start talking. Everyone is so excited for what the year has in store for us. I honestly hope next year is much better than this year. The woman helped me to clean up before we all go to the living room to give out presents.
First, we start with Liam and Jimmy. They are the smallest and they can hardly contain their excitement. Everyone brought them a present. From Domonic and his wife, they each received a new PlayStation game. From Scott, they received action figures. From Kai and Ava, they got clothes. I bought them each a construction vehicle that they can use to play in the sand.
Once they were finished it was time for the adults. I stood up and gave each one their present from me. Domonic and his wife opened up theirs first. I bought them the cutest onesies I could find for their baby. Domonic told me a few months ago that they were having a little girl. The onesie says 'Queen of daddy's heart' the second one says 'You think I am cute? Just look at my mom'.
I see that it is now getting darker and darker outside. so I decide to stall for more time. It needs to be completely dark for my plan to work. I already discussed it with Kai and he has agreed. Ava gets her present last.
Scott opened up his presents next. I managed to buy his 4 CDs of his favorite artists. It was really hard to find since some of them still have to be released.
Then it was Kai's turn. I got him rugby tickets. He is one of the biggest rugby supporters that I know. He has never missed one game that the All blacks have played against anyone.
now for Patrick. I bought him some gold-covered cufflinks. He is a lawyer and figured that he uses them quite a lot. Especially when he needs to go to court.
It is the moment of truth.
"Ava I want you to close your eyes. I didn't get time to wrap your present because it came literally 10 minutes before you arrived." Ava smiles and closes her eyes. I nod at Kai and walk to the light switch. I switched off the lights. In the background, the Christmas lights make the whole moment more romantic.
"Ava, honey, Open your eyes." Ava opens her eyes slowly. She looks at Kai in disbelief. Then it dawned on her.
"Ava. I have known you for a long time and I knew right after I met you that you were the woman for me. When you helped me gain legal custody of my best friend and her little brother I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Now I am here today on my knees asking you to make my dreams come true and to become my wife." Even though it is dark I can see the tears on Ava's cheek.
"Yes, Kai. Thousand times yes." Ava says while helping Kai up. I turn up the light just in time for Kai to place the ring on her finger. Well, what do you know. My best friend is engaged.
"You knew didn't you?" Ava came running towards me.
"Of course I did. Did you honestly think he is this romantic?" Ava just laughed and gave me a hug.
"I am sorry for interrupting your fun guys and to ruin your moment, but we have to go." demonic says. I can see panic and fear in his eyes.
"Dom, what is wrong?" I ask in a calm voice.
"My wife's water just broke. We need to get to the hospital."
"You go. Do you have the hospital bag?" Dom looks at me in pure panic.
"No, we left it at home. We didn't think she will come tonight."
"Listen to me, Dom. Everything will be fine. You make sure your wife gets to the hospital. Scott knows where you live right?"
"Yes, he has a key for my house. Why?"
"Take your wife to the hospital. Scott will go and get the hospital bag. I will clean up here, then Scott and I will meet you at the hospital. Just message us with the hospital's name as soon as you get there."
I ushered Domonic and his wife out the door. I then turned around and told Scott what he needed to do and where to find the bag.
I cleaned up. I also explained to everyone what happened. Everyone understood the situation that we are in. Patrick volunteered to take Liam to his house for a sleepover. I was actually grateful for that.
Liam packed his bag and everyone filled out. I am currently sitting outside waiting for Scott to come back to pick me up. I see the car light and made my way to the driveway. I jumped in and we took off.
We arrived at the hospital and see Domonic waiting for us outside. He is a bunch of nervous energy once we finally got to him. He filled us in that his wife has already dilated 2cm and that it will probably be a long night in front of us. The doctor came out of the room and said it was okay for Domonic to go back in.
We spent the rest of Christmas waiting for that little girl to be born.
Finally in the early morning of the 26 Of December Mia Smith was born. I was so happy that I cried. Domonic said that they named her after me because I was the strongest woman that they know. They hope that Little Mia grows exactly up like her namesake.
I was named godmother of that little bundle of joy and Scott was godfather. That night we laughed ourselves silly for Scott's antics claiming that he will be the best godfather there ever will be and he will kill anyone who breaks her heart.

Grayson PovChristmas is finally over and now it is time to start up my journey once again. The next country I'm off to is Russia.In the past few months, I have realized that I love traveling. There are so many theories and stereotypes out there about different countries. I love debunking everyone of them. A few months ago I went online to find some of the stereotypes about the different counties, but Russia's stereotypes were the most interesting.Like everyone is in the mafia or that all Russians drink vodka. That is just listing a few. It is like one extreme to the other. I cannot believe how far some people can go to judge people. In my eyes, everyone is exactly the same. I mean some people see all Americans as beer-drinking hillbillies. I mean how ridiculous is that.We touched down in Moscow. Moscow is the largest city in Russia. With almost 12.3 million people there is a much bigger chance to meet my mate here. There is only one problem. Whe

For a place that likes keeping up with the trends, I would kind of expected it to have some sort of heater.I get up and took a shower once again. I feel the hot water running over my body. My limbs are slowly relaxing and warming up.I went to search inside my suitcase. I don't have that many warm clothes. I need to go to the shops to buy some more.I made my way down. I called a cab a few minutes ago so it should be here at any moment. Dmitri is up and is busy cleaning the road of all the snow."You are up early. Don't you need some rest? I know jetlag can be horrible." Dmitri said smiling."I need to go shopping. I couldn't sleep anymore since the fire went out in the mantel so I was freezing.""There is a heater in your room you know.

I even asked Dmitri, but he said the only place he knows is the black and blue pub.I searched for it online, but the pub only has male rock singers. I haven't realized how hard it was going to be to find my mate.I decided that I was going to lay in bed all day, just playing some online games. My phone ringed and I see that it is my father."What's up, dad?""Grayson, your up. Thank goodness. We need you to go to South-Africa right away.""Why, what is the matter?""The fang hunters have launched a full-blown war there. They are killing off all humans and supernaturals that go against them. They want Courtney Hill, but nobody knows where she is. They even told the president that until Courtney was found they will keep up killing.

Grayson POVI finally made my way to Courtney and Robbie. My mother placed them in the room directly next to mine. I walk in and see Courtney on the bed sleeping. Robbie is on the chair in front of the computer. I look between the two of them and once again wish to have what they have. I walk closer and tap Robbie on the shoulder."Hey, Robbie can I speak to you?" I whisper to him."Sure." Robbie gets up and walks beside me to my room.I want as much privacy as I can for this conversation. I also don't want to speak in the room where Courtney is sleeping. I don't know when she is going to wake-up.We sat down on the couches in my room."How has everything been going since we last spoke? What happened?" I asked Robbie. I finally get a chance to look at him properly. He looks tired. There are dark circles under his eyes."The last time we spoke we just changed our identities. We thought that we were finally free. We were trying to get o

Grayson POVIt is only two days later that the fang hunters get back to me. They finally agreed to a sit-down meeting, but it has to be on even ground. Since we are in Capetown and they are in Johannesburg we decided to meet somewhere in the middle.They talked about a small town called Hanover. I actually had to look it up. I have never heard about that place. From what I can see it is a beautiful place. I just hope that they leave their weapons behind. I don't want any more killing than there already have been.I walk towards the kitchen. It is time for breakfast. The cooks made us some putu pap, bacon, and eggs. They also placed some rusk which is typically called Ouma beskuit. Since I landed in South-Africa I have had putu pap every morning. Usually, they eat it with milk, sugar, and butter. I came to love it with milk and sugar.I served myself and walked over to my mother and father. My father arrived yesterday in the late afternoon. I haven't had a

Grayson POVThe head of the fang hunters had sent me coordinates yesterday evening. I looked up the coordinates and it was a field in the middle of nowhere. It is basically an open field.The meeting has been set for 3 this afternoon so as of now, it is, go time. We are currently standing over a map of the field to see if there are any advantage points. There are no mountains or even trees in the vicinity."I think they chose this field for a reason." My father says looking at the map."I think so too. They didn't want to be blindsided. They wanted an open field so that they can see far and wide.They didn't want anyone sneaking up on them.""I agree." My father looks at his watch and then back at me. "Son, it is time for us to go."We packed everything up and made our way to the field. The fang hunters were already there waiting for us. They also brought some reinforcements. I knew they will not play by the rule. I look closer at them

We are all supernaturals since we make the least noise. I left Kai at the hospital. He doesn't even know that we got a lead. From what I have gathered the last week, is that Kai is actually Mia's best friend. They grew up together until he has to move away. I knew that if I told him that, he would want to come along.I see movement in the corner of my eye. Aria is coming out of the house with a plastic bag in her hands.

The few sun rays that are filtered through the tiny vents on the wall that helps me see just a tiny bit better.It looks like I am in the basement of some sort. The bed that I am on looks to be like the only furniture in the room. Then my eyes travel to a table at the other end of the room.The door was opened and the whole room was flooded in light. I tried to shield my eyes but I couldn't. Not that I could do anything with my hands and feet bounds together.I couldn't even talk. There was a sticky tape that was covering my mouth."So the bitch is awake. Good. Now we can talk. I am going to remove the tape from your mouth. If you scream, I will kill you." I just nod my head. I will do anything to walk out of here alive. She walks closer and rips off t

I guess I would have done the same if I was in her position.There is so much that I still have to do for her. I just wish that she will get back to me as soon as possible with her decision. I promised her that I will give her some space today. It is hard, but as I told her last night I will not pressure her into anything.

Mia POVGrayson and I talked way past midnight last night. I felt so ashamed about how I treated him.He told me that he will not push me. He only wants to be with me. He understands that I am human and will court me as any other human man would have.If I feel like I no longer want to be with him then he would leave me alone. No questions ask. I am currently laying in bed just thinking about the future.I didn't lie to Grayson when I said I felt drawn towards him. I still feel that. Now more than ever.

I made my way to my room and sat and waited for him.He didn't come out of his room for the whole night. I guess my poor baby was tired. I didn't want to sleep just in case he left and I didn't notice.There was the only movement again after 6 the next morning. I followed him and saw him getting into the cab. I caught the next cab and did a spell to get the cabbie to follow Grayson.When we stopped I saw Grayson going into a car rental company.
