Chapter 27

" C orbin, Cullen! Come say hi to Dad." Cosmo laughed, looking out the door at his father, who stood where their house met the Land of Summer.

He wanted his dad and Hawk to meet face-to-face and for his mom and dad to meet Elliot before they headed to the dragonlands to show him off to everyone else.

"Can I hold him, son?" Mom's eyes were filled with tears. "Our first grandchild. He's perfect. Absolutely perfect."

Dad nodded, handing him a beautiful carved dragon.

"Oh. Wow. Thank you."

"For his nursery. It is good to meet you, Alpha Hawk. What clutch are you from?" Dad bowed to Hawk.

Hawk bowed back. "The Lethiel clutch of Arasma."

Cosmo blinked. He'd never heard Hawk say anything like that.

"An honorable clutch. Our family joins with yours in pride."

"Thank you, sir. I am pleased to be a part of this family, as well. And of the Rocky Mountain clutch, newly formed in the dragonlands." Hawk's face was just wreathed in smiles.

"Ah, I have heard tales."

He handed the baby to his mom while Corbin handed gifts to dad. "Hey. I did it, Dad. I played midwife."

"You have always been wise with growing things, son."

Corbin beamed, and Cullen rolled his eyes.

He's never going to get his big head through the door…

But he's so happy. I can't even tease.

Daaaaaaa. Elliot was just singing in his head as he played with Mom's nose.

"That's your grandmother, son. Your grandmother and grandfather." And soon they would meet Gavin and the other dragon children. Soon.

Hawk glanced over at him. So many wonders to teach him. Thank you, love. For all of this.

You came to me. You found us. You came home.

I did.

Hawk had waited so long, but Cosmo was grateful he had. He couldn't imagine his life without his mate now.

"Hawk just wanted to meet you and let you meet Elliot. I'll come back with him later today, okay?"

"Of course. Go fly him to the village and show him off." Mom handed the baby back, sniffling. "Tell the dragons hello from us."

"I will. Love you both!"

"Love you. Corbin, come back and let me show you some new cuttings later as well."

"And Cullen, I have things to show you in the shop."

"Okay, Dad." Cullen winked at him, and Cosmo chuckled.

Look at us all getting along, Corbin said.

I think we're going to need to . An echo of a prophecy floated through his mind, but he pushed it away.

No visions right now.

He had a baby to show off with his mate.
