good friends now and they all loved to hang out in their free time. You could always find the four of them around the fire pit talking after training.
Bristol and Harley you could find on the beach with Conner and Delany. The four of them were used to being in the water a lot and it was hard for them to be away from it for a long length of time. They trained with everyone and then would go to the beach to train on their Dragon skills. They wanted to be prepared for anything and it had been a very long time for them using those skills.
Ada and Leon would float from couple to couple getting to know everyone a little better. Ada knew she upset Vivi so she tried to give her the space she needed. Ada and Leon both loved playing with the children. You could usually find them in the playroom with the kids. Ada was a very good teacher too. Leon had the patience of a saint and loved to rough house with the boys. They kind of set up a daycare in the playroom and would run it while everyone trained. Ada and Leon liked to go down and train when they could get Charles and Mateo one on one. Everyone else was pretty far into training so they felt comfortable with the one on one. They also needed a lot of help with the Dragon skills that Alexi and Gosha helped with. Because they were wanderers they never really used their skills.
At dinner every night they all gathered to eat together. The table had been adjusted a little so that it fit high chairs and hook on chairs. Zoe still held Lily during dinner, but little Jacob needed to be placed in a high chair. At dinner everyone sat mixed together. Piper and Aidan sat close to Abby and Abby still sat next to Ben. Ben of course sat close to his parents and Justine and Gabe. Rosa and Michael had moved down the table a bit so it did not seem that all the Onyx’s were in one spot.
Tonight at dinner Kaiden was going to announce the decision of a second team. Zoe and he had agreed today when they went to the cave that it was a good idea. They were only going to accept volunteers because they would not be protected by Alex’s block. They had decided that the group would be six people, just like the other group. This group would also be going to very remote locations were there would be very little civilizations.
After everyone was seated and they had made their plates Kaiden stood.
“Everyone, Zoe and I have an announcement to make and we would appreciate your attention.” Everyone looked their way and set their forks down. Zoe stood too and handed Lily over to Mary, Mary was seated right next to her. As soon as the baby was out of her hands, Zoe’s fingers began to move. She looked down at her hands and then at Kaiden. Zach understood right away and left the table in a hurry to grab her guitar.
Chapter 6
Finley
After she had gotten her parents dressed her Papa had arrived home. Her real parents had gone to greet him and inform him what they planned to tell Finley over dinner. Finley was still at a loss for what they wanted to tell her. She raked her brain for any possibility, but could not come up with one. She fiddled around in her room changing her clothing three times until she was happy with the outfit.
When dinner was ready they called her down. At first the conversation was all small talk and catching up. They were having her father’s favorite tonight. Clam chowder in homemade bread bowls with cheesecake for dessert. Finley was starting to get annoyed because they still had not said anything out of the ordinary. She wanted to hurry the conversation along so she started to ask questions.
“So isn’t there something you need to tell me?” Finley snapped
“In time little fish, right now we are thinking of the right words.” Emery told her
“Why in the world would you have to think of the right words, just spit it out already!” Finley was starting to get mad now. “Did we go bankrupt or something? Are you leaving me? WHAT!?” she
