Atreyu     When the castle appeared before my eyes, I stood gazing at it in awe with my mouth gaping open.  It was positively majestic, and a part of me couldn’t believe it would soon be Genevieve’s.     So many aspects of our life would soon be changing.  The time was nearing for our baby to come into the world, throwing us into the realm of parenthood.  Shortly after that, my darling angel would become the Divine Goddess of Creation.     It was going to be a lot to take on at one time, but Genevieve was confident and strong-willed.  I had no doubt in my mind, she would take on the challenge with grace while proving herself to be an amazing mother and a great Goddess.     Once I got past the initial awe of seeing the castle for the first time, I flashed a smile at Genevieve and asked, “Shall we?”     “Absolutely,” she exclaimed with excitement swirling in her beautiful, amethyst-colored eyes.     Liliana led us across the bridge made of little, fluffy clouds, then we walked up the steps to the porch.  I marveled at the way the entire castle looked like it was made of a pearlescent glass.  Even the tall, swirly columns were smooth and pearlescent.     Upon entering the castle, I was again awed into silence.  The walls and floors looked the same inside and out.       Light angels walked the halls and hovered above us, watching with curiosity.  We were introduced to a few of them while given the tour of the stunning castle, but there were too many to be introduced to all.     The couches and chairs were covered in the same shimmering white fabric used to make the curtains.  In addition to that, the dining tables and chairs were painted a brilliant white.       However, the dinnerware on the table had the same pearlescent look as the walls and floors.  The same could be said about the countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms along with the desks in the main office and Liliana’s personal office.     When we got to the royal chambers, it was slightly different, and even more stunning.  Picture frames lined every available surface, and every one of them displayed a picture of Genevieve.  Most of them were from her childhood in the Underground, but there were also several with the two of us together.     As soon as we stepped into the master bedroom, Genevieve’s eyes lit up with excitement before she leaned up on her tiptoes to whisper in my ear, “I can’t wait to get you naked in a bed like this.”     “Same,” I mumbled, admiring the huge bed made of clouds.     Intrigued, I crossed the room and ran my palm over the bed.  It was so soft to the touch, and it surprisingly didn’t break apart under my fingers, like the earthly clouds sometimes did.       “This will all soon be yours,” Liliana enthusiastically declared while waving her arms around for emphasis.     Genevieve stepped closer to me and happily commented, “This is going to be ours for eternity.  The place where we will share an immortal life filled with love.”     I pulled my gorgeous, pregnant angel into my arms and sweetly murmured, “The type of love that will keep you strong and grounded, as you lead the light angels.”     After sharing that sweet moment, we continued on the tour.  Liliana was an excellent tour guide, having done it for hundreds of years, and I couldn’t help being impressed with both her and the lovely castle.     Even the dungeons were beautiful to the eye.  Everything was pearlescent down to the bars, and the prisoner’s cots were made of soft, fluffy clouds.  I had to admit, if I were to ever be imprisoned, I would want to be imprisoned there.   Genevieve     After touring our soon-to-be castle, it was time for us to return to our current home.  My mother worked her magic to get us back to the garden, then we held hands and walked to the royal chambers with smiles plastered on our faces.     We had a bright future ahead of us, and I was ready to embrace every aspect of it.  Especially being a mother.      Our little one would be here in no time, and it would mark the beginning of a new era for me and my mate.  An era in which we would be responsible for our children, and for every creature in the world.  They would all soon be our children, whether by blood or not.     After what we accomplished at the Angel Kingdom, I was ready for the challenge, and feeling hopeful about our future.  I had the love of my mate, and the loyalty of four different kingdoms.  The Red Thorn Kingdom, the Angel Kingdom, the Underground Kingdom, and most importantly, the Cloud Kingdom.     In addition to that, my mother was anticipating me to be the most powerful Goddess to have ever existed.  She had been insisting that the mix of light and dark angel blood flowing through my veins would lead to me being extraordinary.     When we got back to our chambers, I shuffled to the couch and plopped down.  Atreyu was quick to take the seat beside me, then he placed a hand on my swollen belly and pecked a kiss on my cheek before affectionately murmuring, “You are the prettiest, pregnant angel in the universe.”     “Even with this big belly?” I asked, placing my hand over his.     “Even more so!” he insisted with the most charming smile lighting up his handsome face.     “I can’t believe I get more than one lifetime to love you.  I’m not going to let a single one of them go to waste.  When this little guy takes over the Red Thorn Kingdom, I will be free to spend every second of every day, doting on the love of my life,” Atreyu hummed with a far-off look in his beautiful blue eyes.     I snuggled against my sweet man, basking in his essence, as I dreamily murmured, “Romantic walks on the clouds… endless hours of making love to you… being able to watch over our children and their children and so on for years to come.  I can’t think of a better way or a better mate to spend my days with.”
