Dylan and Renata Go Shopping (Toronto Part 3 - The Girls)

Renata Breed with Dylan Alexander.

~smiling I shake my head at Aric's antics and then give Niko another hug, turning to Dylan I smile wide~ luggage just for shoes? ~moans lightly as I take her arm~ let me drool over them, I haven't been able to wear much in the last few weeks and Niko tries to carry me everywhere ~smiles sweetly at my mate as he nearly drags Rio away to check out the club~ lets get some snacks too, I am hungry again...~waving to the boys as we turn and make our way up stairs~

Dylan Alexander *Kissing Rio before sending him off with Niko and Aric.* As soon as this little one is born you will be able to wear anything you want. Until then enjoy all the pampering. * Their arms linked they headed to the quarters she and Rio would be sharing while here.* I have a feeling there is very little you are going to need for this little one after you see what all was sent.

Renata Breed ~chuckles as we sit and Dylan moves to the luggage~ he will be outfitted for a few years at least. but then again babies do grow quickly and will need new clothes in a few months. and yes I am enjoying the pampering, but then Niko always pampers me...~giggling I smile as she starts to take out the boxes~ wow there is more than I thought in here...

Dylan Alexander *Proptping the suitcase on top of the others. Dylan starts taking things out and hands one to Renata.* There are so many cute things out there, I think we all had a hard deciding so we got everything we liked. * She grinned. The first box had a sleeper and matching blanket she had found at the cutest shop when she was shopping with the others.*

Renata Breed ~loving each piece of clothing or toy that was handed over I giggle and sigh, they ranged in sizes which was amazing~ we are always looking for things too ~smiling I hold one of the little elephants close~ this works well with the decorations in his room...now about those shoes ~smiling as I nibble on a cookie~ any stilettos?

Dylan Alexander *She found the bag with the shoes in it.* There are a few new pair of them. If they are your size you can have them. *Unzipping she it was brimming with shoes.* It's heavier then I thought it was. No wonder Aric wasn't happy. I was so excited about getting here I never noticed. *Laughing as she snatched a cookie from the tray of goodies they had gotten.* So tell me, are prepared for becoming a mom?

Renata Breed ~my eyes gleaming at the thought of a new pair or two of shoes, smiling at Dylan's question~ I think I am, I did raise Mira, but then again she was past the baby stage when we met ~chuckling~ I don't really know if Niko is ready though, he is still rushing about trying to baby proof the house but then still sharpens his blades at the kitchen table...but what about you? when are Rio and you thinking of a little one?

Dylan Alexander *She handed Renata the new pairs and grabbed another cookie. She was hungrier then she had realized. Then she thought about her sister's question.* I've really thought about it. I figure when it happens, it happens. Not that I wouldn't love to have a little Rio running around, but I want him to be ready for it. *She hoped her thoughts made sense. The Breed Warriors were always at risk and need to be on their toes when patrolling. Dylan wondered how they were able to put back any fears of leaving their mates or offspring behind should something happen to them.*

Renata Breed ~smiles knowingly~ Well then it will happen soon then ~setting the shoes down sliding them onto my feet, I smile wide seeing that they will fit but right now my feet are a little swollen and wont fit if I stand~ but I can tell you that I will love not being pregnant as soon as this little one is born, I miss being able to go and shoot my guns...I am not allowed anywhere near the shooting range right now, but we have a mini range set up out back that I use a paintball gun to practice with...

Dylan Alexander They are protective, but you have to admit in some ways you love it too. Soon you'll be beating the guys again on the targets. I do think some are envious of how well you use your guns. * Settling on the sofa across from Renata. * Those shoes look like they will do the trick once you are no longer with child. I have a feeling Niko will get some ideas after seeing you in those spikes.

Renata Breed ~blushing lightly~ oh yeah I think he will get many ideas just seeing them in my closet...that man does love me in spikes...~picking them up to look closer at them I smile seeing that the heel was made of titanium, our metal of choice~ so we have a few things planned for while you are here, is there anything that you wanted to see specifically?

Dylan Alexander I'd love to see the CN Tower and the art gallery. That is if you are up to it. If you aren't I'm good to stay here and help you get things ready. *Dylan was easy going with things, as long as she had the family around and something to keep her busy she was happy. She saw Renata checking the hells on the shoes.* Yes, they can be weapons if need be.

Renata Breed ~smiling~ we can do that, they have some really good exhibits at the gallery...~tilting my head to the side~ Dylan, is there anything new in your world? I heard a rumor that you met someone...

Dylan Alexander *It took a moment to register, her father had to be who she was meaning.* I met my father, my real father. He is very different then I imagined. * She smiled a bit, but she noticed Renata yawn a bit.* I think you are getting a little tired.

Renata Breed ~trying to hide a yawn, my eyes widen at the word father~ really? what was he like? ~if she met her father than I start to wonder if our other fathers are still out there, blinking my eyes I yawn again~ yeah I guess I am getting a little tired, but I don't want to end our visit just yet...I want to hear more about your father...

Dylan Alexander *She laughed a bit.* I'm not going anywhere in the near future. You should rest and I'll unpack. We can continue this after you've rested over some dinner. *She walked her sister to her quarters, hugged Renata and then returned to hers. She unpacked and then laid down to rest.*

The Meet and Greet With Rio, Dylan, Renata, Niko, and Aric (Toronto Part 2)

Renata Breed with Dylan Alexander and 3 others.

~sitting in the front parlor of the house, I chuckle and watch Rio pacing back and forth, I know that he can sense his mate getting closer, shifting on my chair I set my knitting needles to the side and reach for my tea~ Calm yourself Rio, Dylan will be here soon, Aric is taking good care of her ~a chuckle sounds from my right as Niko watches Rio clench and unclench his hands~ baby make him sit, he is giving me a headache watching him...~smiling sweetly I knit another row~

Rio Atanacio *Brushing his hair back from his face he sat on the edge of the chair, then quickly got up and gazed out the window. A SUV was pulling into the driveway.* SHE's here! *Quickly exiting the room with Niko and Renata following he runs out pulling Dylan into an embrace* Damn I missed you. *Kissing her soundly*

Dylan Alexander *It had been awhile since she had felt his embrace and it felt good. She kissed him* You look good, love. * Then her eyes fell on Renata and Niko. Renata was looking beautiful and very pregnant. She hugged them both.* It's chilly out here. I think we should go back inside.

Aric Chase *he starts hauling the mountain of luggage in, Niko offering to help. With a grin he tossed a bag at him before grabbing a few and heading for the door* I'll come back for those. Wouldn't want you to strain yourself. *he smirked over his shoulder*

Niko Breed *Loaded down with luggage that's heavy as shit he makes his way behind the happy couple. Keeping an eye on his mate as well.* Damn Dylan don't think you packed enough? Did you leave a couple of suit cases at home? *Rio just turns and shoots me the bird as Renata tells me to leave her alone.* Well come on champ, don't take all day...damn.

Renata Breed ~giggling as I hug Dylan back, turning making our way back into the room, shaking my head at the amount of luggage, but then again I always pack that much too, but then I carry guns, bullets and knives...leaning against Niko once he drops the bags and one of the younger breed collect them and take them to Dylan and Rio's suite~ Welcome Dylan and Aric, how was the flight? anything exciting happen?

Rio Atanacio *Slapping Aric's shoulders* Thank you Aric for bringing Dylan to me safely. *Taking a bag from the young male* I take it all went smooth otherwise we would have been alerted. *Kicks the door closed*

Dylan Alexander *Inside it was nice and warm. She rolled her eyes at the males complaining. Then grinned at Renata.* A few are clothes, one for shoes and one for gifts for you and the little guy. I think everyone had something to send. I managed to fit it in one large suitcase. Overwise there would have been more. *She heard Aric groan and she laughed.*

Aric Chase *He chuckled* I offered to find her a forklift but she was insulted *he shrugs* now y'all understand why. *he hugged Renata awkwardly and shook hands with Niko and Rio. * No Sir, no problems at all. Oh yeah, excuse me Sir. *he turned to Niko* This is from Kade. He said "with love" * He jabbed Niko in the gut before he had a chance to catch his intent* DOH!

Aric Escorts Dylan to Toronto (Toronto Visit Part 1)

Dylan Alexander with Aric Chase.

Dylan had gotten to the garage early. She had been excited since she heard she was heading to meet up with Rio. Her bags had been packed for days and she had taken them to the garage about an hour before she was to meet Aric.
Magazine in her hands, she sat on the luggage as the young warrior emerged through the doors. He saw her and the bags and she smiled at him. "Believe me. I packed light."

Aric Chase Oiy! I bet. *he shook his head and chuckled as he quickly loaded up the luggage and hopped into the drivers seat. Seeing that Dylan was safely buckled, he pulled out of the fleet garage heading for the private airstrip where the Order kept their jet. As he drove they chatted amiably as the sun warmed the air* the Jet is ready, pilots have already filed the proper paperwork on both sides for an uneventful flight, hopefully. Is there anything you need still for the flight or your visit? We have time to stop if needed.

Dylan Alexander *Quickly she ran through her list in her head. Mags, check. Gum, check. Then what was in her bags.* I'm good as long as they have hot chocolate on the plane. I have everything. *She grinned as she thought about his reaction when he saw her luggage and what must go through a guy's mind.* So will you be staying in Toronto or returning here after you deliver me to Rio?

Aric Chase I have a bit of a layover up there before I return. This time of year, with the nearly constant darkness, it would be good to be able to check out the city. I've heard a lot about it. Some good, some not so good. * He said as he thought of where Renata and Mira were once upon a time. He was around Niko enough to get a pretty clear picture of what happened back then. Turning into a parking garage he quickly parked. * Ready to catch some air, Auntie? *He says with a grin* I will grab your "few things" that you packed after I escort you inside. I will need to get a cart, or maybe a 6 wheeler thing. Maybe I should just find a forklift and save some trouble. Did you leave ANYTHING behind? *He ribbed as they walked across the lot and into the building*

Dylan Alexander Haha. Trying to be a comedian today. Rio and Niko would be proud. * She winked at him.* And I, by the way left quite a bit behind. *She had noticed that sullen look in his eyes and could only wonder what he had been thinking about, but she was sure it had to do with Mira and Renata. After grabbing her bag she strolled inside with him and then watched him retrieve her bags with his one. When he joined her again the bags had been turned over to the crew to load. * Let's get this show in the air. *She took his arm and they walked to the platform to board the plane.*

Aric Chase *they settled in while the pilots went through their process and were quickly in the air. He pulled out his phone to read for a while, finally able to fully relax now that they were safely in the air. He enjoyed the special assignments that only he, as a day-walker, could perform. It gave him a very distinct edge as a Breed and especially as a warrior. The time passed quickly and before I knew it the pilot was announcing his planned descent into yet another private airfield* Nice and easy, exactly how I enjoy my flights.

Dylan Alexander *The flight had been nice and uneventfully, no turbulence and while Aric had read Dylan had been lost in her thoughts. Some about Rio and some about Renata as well as the mini Niko that should be here soon.* Same here. Now lets get to the compound. * It had been longer then she liked being apart from Rio. The bags were loaded into a black SUV and they were on there way. Aric was driving slower then Dylan would have, but then again he was in charge of getting her there safely.*

~END~

Compound: Meeting My Sisters

Nova Rowan

*Sitting on the couch in the main living room of the compound waiting on Mathias to return from speaking with his fellow Order brothers. Elijah had taken Eddie to his room so that he could get settled and I decided to just wait for Mathias. My stomach growled and I realized I had not eaten since the night before, standing I made my way toward the sound of voices and the smells of dinner. Knocking softly on the door, I was greeted by a beautiful violet-eyed blonde woman, she told me her name was Elise* It is very nice to meet you, I'm Nova and as you may know already, Mathias' mate. Could I join you for dinner if it is not to much of an inconvenience?

• 
  

  Elise Chase *Smiling, she gestured to the table* Of course, you are always welcome to join us. Have a seat and I will grab another plate. *Walking to the cabinets, she pulled out what she needed then held up a wine glass silently asking if Nova would like some. At her nod, she carried the stash to the table.* We don't stand on ceremony here, so make yourself at home.
• Alexandra Maguire *I look up from the table to see Elise greeting a lovely lady at the door. She had tattoos along her arms and a pretty smile. Earlier in the day I over heard the breed mates mentioned that Mathias had mated and they couldn't wait to meet her. Sitting at the table Elise introduces her, her being Nova Rowan. I welcomed her with a hug, gesturing to help herself and don't be shy*
• Savannah Dupree *I walked into the dining room carrying the casserole dish just as Elise set another place setting down and handed a glass of wine to a very beautiful young woman. Smiling I set the dish down and moved over to introduce myself.* Hello my name is Savannah, its so nice to meet you. I hope you're hungry because we have plenty.
• Nova Rowan *Sitting down at the table, taking a glass of wine from Savannah, sipping it and nodding* Thank you and yes I have not eaten since before the plane ride. My little brother is resting so I may have to put him a dish away for later. *Glancing around the room as more enter and introduce themselves* I am not shy Alexandra, it is just all this is so new to me, I am not use to having such a big family around. *smiles* For the first time in my life I think I can breathe, relax, and just enjoy life without looking over my shoulder. I must admit I love the idea of having sisters. *Taking a bite of the casserole* This is so good!
• Elise Chase *Nodding, she took a sip of her wine.* Savy is a fabulous cook. We would be lost without her. Plus, most of us understand. It's the Breed and their world that finally makes us fit in and feel connected. We are here to help, however you may need it.
• Alexandra Maguire *I smile when Nova mentions that she loves the idea of having sisters because that’s exactly how we all felt when we first arrived. Sitting at the table, I cut a piece of the casserole, placing it on my plate with a little salad on the side before pouring myself a glass of wine* Nova, you’ll be a wonderful addition to the family. You and Eddie
• Savannah Dupree *getting up from the table I walk into the kitchen to get the coffee and bunt cake. Making sure to bring an extra plate for Eddie. Walking back into the dining room I smile as I look around the table.* I hope everyone has left room for dessert?
• Nova Rowan Thank you Alexandra and yes there is always room for dessert Savannah. *Nodding at Elise* I was adopted by a breed family as a baby, my father was not the nicest of breed males *Running my finger tip across the hidden scarab tattoo* . I ran away from home at a very young age and moved to England.That is where I met Ozzy, he was a wonderful father figure, he took Eddie in when we found him eating from a trash can and he also taught me how to tattoo. *Smiles softly* It is kinda a whirl wind how bloody fast my life has changed in such a short time. *Taking a bite of the cake* Oh Savannah this is wonderful as well.
• Dylan Alexander I had been running late for dinner, Rio had kept me busy longer than I expected. Smoothing my shirt before entering as I heard a new voice. "Sorry I'm late. Something came up." My cheeks flushed a bit as I took a seat and made myself a plate. Then smiling at new face, "l'm Dylan. It's nice to meet you. You must be Mathias' mate."
• Elise Chase *Her eyes widened as she listened to Nova.* I was more fortunate, the Chase's found me on the streets in Boston when I was a child and took me into their Darkhaven over a hundred years ago. He was stern but a good male. I am glad that Mathias found you. He deserves someone special.
• Alexandra Maguire *Sitting back enjoying the wonderful dinner Savannah prepared, I sip my wine and helped myself to a piece of cake. Taking a few bites, I compliment Savy how delicious the cake was. I listened, laughed and talked amongst my sisters before excusing myself from the table. Making my way around to the other side, I hug each of them hugging Nova last* It was a pleasure meeting you *I grin* Sister *hugging her again I turn to the others and waved good night*
• Savannah Dupree *after a wonderful night with my sisters, I had into the kitchen and get to work cleaning. When I'm done I head back in just in time to say goodnight to Alexandra. Giving her a hug, I turn saying goodnight to all my sisters saving Nova for last.* I'm so glad your here. *giving the others a hug I say my goodbyes and head off to find my mate.*
• Nova Rowan *Taking a breath, I hugged them all, making my way toward Eddie's room with a plate of food * ~things will be just fine now~ *Texting Mathias* <Just finished meeting some of the ladies, I am taking Eddie some food and I will be waiting in our room, I love you>
