Chapter 237

Everyone stared at the two men standing in front of the fireplace, a soft white glow surrounding both men.

Josh, Justin and Lance traded looks, their sons smiling from their laps, giggling softly.

“Daddy finding angel.” Joshy giggled, Justin looking down into his blue and violet pools, the boy snuggling against his father, Justy in Lance’s lap.

The two men at the fireplace broke their embrace, the soft white glow disappearing immediately, Grayson staring into Lucas’ violet pools.

“How long have you known?” He said, Lucas smiling at him, leaning in and kissing his cheek.

“Since Westonshire, Uncle. I felt the simmering hidden love around Almira’s long emptied tomb.” He said, Grayson looking surprised.

Finn rose from his seat, Skyler looking up at her husband, their two children in her and Momma Mavis’ laps.

“He’s...he’s another freaking angel?!” Finn said, Lucas smiling towards his friend, his eyes returning to Grayson’s now violet pools.

“We are all angels in our mother’s eyes, as well as our father’s.” He said, Savannah and Tristan looking at their son with showing love.

Finn walked up to the two men, his eyes meeting Lucas’ again.

“You’ve drawn them all out, Luke.” He said, Lucas smiling and putting his hand on his old friend’s shoulder.

“Not quite, Finny, but I have my ways. Welcome back, Grandfather Joshua.” Lucas said, Finn’s eyes following Lucas’ now moving eyes, everyone staring at the open doorway of the Receiving Room, Joshua Belmont standing in its center.

“You see all paths, my grandson.” Joshua said, Lucas smiling at his ancestor, the man slowly walking into the room, his green eyes on his son’s now violet pools, the man walking up to Grayson.

“He’s seen behind our paths, Father.” Grayson said, everyone staring at the uniformed soldier walking into their midst.

Joshua’s hand went to his son’s shoulder, everyone seeing the emotion on Grayson’s handsome face, Joshua kissing his cheek.

“He sees behind all life, my son.” Joshua said, another person rising to their feet, Colton looking up at his soulmate, Hemi walking forward, his form changing, a beautiful young woman now walking to Joshua’s and Grayson’s side, Grayson’s face now covered in tears.

Almira Carlisle opened his arms, Grayson falling into them, her violet pools meeting Joshua’s green irises of love.

“My angel, my son.” She said, holding the older man close, Grayson feeling her returned love.

Lucas smiled at all three, seeing the love shining in their eyes for each other.

“A family joins always within its love. Your brother needs you as well, Grandfather.” Lucas said, Emerson rising from his seat, walking up to Grayson’s side, his arm going around him.

“Strength, my brother. Strength we will all need to face our Lucas’ love.” He said, his green pools locked on his grandson’s shining violet pools of love.

“You are wiser than all the souls of our lineage, my grandson. We cannot hide anything from you.” He said, Lucas smiling with love at his grandfather.

“Your souls act as beacons to my love, Grandfather. I saw the lost love behind the family’s love.” He said, Almira releasing her son, smiling at the two older men before her, her form changing for a moment between Almira Carlisle and Carlotta Belmont, both men seeing their mother’s love shining back.

Almira’s eyes met Joshua’s green again, the man’s arms going around the young woman, their eyes showing their love for each other.

“He has seen behind our  lives, my love. We hold her love deeply within our soul.” He said, Almira tearing up, Joshua holding her closer, his green pools staring at his young great-grandson, Lucas smiling at him with love.

“There is no deception in love, Grandfather. Angels walk as they are guided.” He said, his eyes meeting Grayson’s violet pools.

“We hold family close to our hearts, Lucas. Those loved, those lost.” He said, Emerson’s hand rubbing Grayson’s back.

Francesca rose from her seat, walking up to her husband, Emerson’s arm going around her as well.

Lucas smiled at her, the woman staring at her grandson.

“Your intellect is greater than Azrael’s, Lucas. I sense you’ve sensed all paths.” She said, Lucas nodding.

“I saw behind the love, Grandmother. And the loss.” He said, his eyes meeting Grayson’s, then his parents’.

“What gave it away, Lucas?” Grayson said, Lucas smiling at him.

“The deceit of another, Uncle. And the truth you showed in that person’s revealed soul.”

Grayson looked confused, Lucas smiling at him, leaning forward and kissing his cheek again.

“Sheridan Whitecastle, Uncle. The day of his revealed falsehood against Justin’s love. You revealed more than you meant to.” He said, Justin’s eyes meeting Lucas’, their love showing.

“What do you mean, Luke?” he said, Lucas smiling at Justin, looking at Grayson.

“I sense all of you have forgotten that conversation. What Grayson had said. He said that Sheridan was his nephew. That the man’s parents were killed in a car crash, Emerson taking the boy in.”

Emerson looked at Grayson, the man softly blushing.

“I said more than I should have, Lucas.” He said, Lucas smiling at him, moving forward, his hand going to the older man’s shoulder.

“No one thought on the slip, or what it meant. Your lost sister. A sister no one has spoken of since--or in fact--ever.” Lucas said, Joshua staring at his son.

“I’m sorry, Father. I don’t remember letting it slip.” He said, Joshua smiling at him with love.

“But our Lucas did.” He said, Almira’s and his eyes meeting Lucas’.

“Yes, I did, Grandfather Joshua. And from that slip I realized the truth.”

“What truth, Luke?” Finn asked, everyone staring at the group, Lucas’ eyes going to Grayson’s violet pools.

“That Grayson, Almira’s and Josh’s son, was a twin.”

Finn stared at Lucas with surprise, as did others, the young man smiling around, his eyes going back to his family standing in front of him.

“How in God’s name did you realize that?” Finn said in shock.

Lucas smiled, staring at his great-grandparents, the young man smiling at both.

“We were not hiding her, Lucas. She remains close in all our hearts.” Grayson said, Lucas nodding.

“I know, Uncle. I felt her love in all your hearts from the moment of my meeting all of you separately.” He said, his family looking surprised.

Tristan rose from his seat, walking up to his son, looking at his father and mother.

“You sense everything, Lucas.” He said, Lucas smiling at his father.

“I felt her love in your heart also, Father. My great-aunt Sarina was a woman of total love and courage. Her soul was great. Greater perhaps than any of you realized.” Lucas said, Josh rising from his seat, his arm going around his husband.

“What does all this mean, my love?” He said, looking at Lucas’ family.

“It only means that love has always surrounded myself. In some amazing ways.”

Joshua released Almira, the man walking up to his great-grandson, his family’s eyes upon him.

“My son told the truth, Lucas. We were not hiding her. Her love was always in our hearts.” He said, Lucas nodding.

“I know, Grandfather. And I know more.” He said, Grayson’s eyes meeting his.

“You know all of it, don’t you?”

Lucas smiled at him, the man staring into his violet pools of love.

“Yes, Uncle. Even more than your family knows. I think you need to let them know.”

Grayson’s family looked at him with confusion, the older man sighed, looking at Lucas.

“Your intellect astounds me, nephew.” He said, Lucas smiling at him.

“My love wanders through all souls, Uncle.” He said, Grayson nodding, his eyes meeting his surrounding family.

“I think everyone should sit down again. Tell all of us the story of Sarina’s love, my family.” Lucas said, Joshua’s eyes meeting his great-grandson’s violet pools.

“Alright, Lucas.” Grayson said, everyone nodding, returning to their seats,

Almira sat down with Joshua, the man joining his son and grandson.

Colton smiled at the woman, his soulmates smiling as well, all four feeling Hemi’s hidden love.

Lucas leaned against the fireplace, Grayson looking at him.

“Open your heart, Uncle. We all need to feel your love.” The young man said, Grayson nodding, his eyes meeting his husband’s, Gabriel staring at him with love.

The older man sighed again, folding his hands in front of him, looking towards his parents.

Everyone waited in silence, Lucas smiling at his great-uncle.

“The story my father told of his involvement with Almira Carlisle was true, albeit one small part. One part my father omitted with protective love.” Grayson said, his father staring at him with love.

“I protect my children with my own love and soul.” Joshua said, Grayson smiling at his father.

“Lucas had deduced the reality of my true self, that I was the son of Almira Carlisle and Joshua Belmont, half brother of Emerson Belmont. What he hadn’t shown at that time was that I wasn’t the only child.” Grayson said, looking towards Lucas, the young man leaning against the fireplace, smiling at him.

“That you were a twin, another born beside you as well?” Finn said, Skyler kissing his cheek.

“We’ve figured that out, babe. Let Grayson talk.” She said, Finn nodding with a blush, Lucas winking at him.

“Yes, Finn. My sister Sarina was born as well, my mother Almira delivering both of us in Westonshire alone. She then wrote our father, his returning to find our mother stricken with typhoid. She showed him his children, another laying beside me in that crib. My identical twin sister Sarina.” Grayson said, looking at his father again.

Joshua rose from his seat, walking up to his son, Grayson staring at him with love.

“I fell in love with both that day, their violet pools shining with needful love. They lost their mother that day, but they gained their father’s love. I took both home to my home, my own father and son welcoming both into their love.” Joshua said, his green eyes looking at his son Emerson, the man nodding with showing love.

Joshua’s eyes turned to Lucas, the young man staring at him.

“You hadn’t mentioned her, Lucas. So as a father I kept her hidden behind our love. I assumed you hadn’t formulated her hidden self. I sense I was wrong.” Joshua said, Lucas smiling at him.

“A father’s love is always protective. She had it through her loving but sacrificed life at that time.” Lucas said, Joshua nodding, Grayson kissing his father’s cheek.

“She had all our love.” He said, Joshua smiling at his son, the man returning to Almira’s side, his family smiling at him.

“Talk of her, Uncle Gray. We’d all love to know her.” Lucas said, Grayson smiling at him.

“She was beauty personified, Lucas. She had her mother’s beauty and her father’s intellect. The first female child born of the Belmont magic. All of us couldn’t understand the reality of that, Lucas. Do you have any idea why we were both born together, against the reality of the Trinity?” He said, Lucas smiling at him.

“It’s really simple, Uncle. You and she were the children of a duality of love. A trinity of its own making. Joshua Belmont, Almira Carlisle and Carlotta Belmont. Joshua and the duality of his wife’s and lover’s soul. The magic was doubly heightened, doubly infused so to speak. The reality of the creation of twins was the separating of the gathering love.”

“That’s beautiful, Lucas. ‘The separating of the gathering love.’ That sounds so romantic, so beautiful.” Savannah said, Tristan’s arm around her, Lucas smiling at his mother.

“Their love was beautiful. The doubling of the love created two beings of greater love and magic. And perhaps more.” He said, Grayson looking at him.

“Yes, Uncle. I sense the underly paths of life and love. And what He creates himself.”
Joshua and Almira looked at each other, the two standing again, walking up to Lucas and Grayson, the lawyer still staring at Lucas.

“You know, Lucas?” Grayson said, Lucas nodding, looking at Joshua and Almira.

He smiled, looking towards Finn, the man staring at him.

“Grayson isn’t an angel, Finny. He never was.” He said, Finn rising to his feet, the answer formulating immediately in his mind.

“It was her! Sarina is the hidden angel!!”

Everyone looked surprised, no one more so than Joshua and Almira, Joshua’s son and grandson and their wives now at their side.

“That can’t be, Lucas!” Joshua said, Lucas staring at him.

“It is, Grandfather. Your lost daughter Sarina was herself a seraphin of God’s love.”
Everyone looked shocked, Josh now at Lucas’ side, his arm going around him.

“Grayson’s dead sister was an angel, Lucas?” He said with shock, looking at the lawyer, Grayson’s eyes lowering.

Lucas’s violet pools were watching Grayson as well, Joshua’s eyes widening.

“You knew, didn’t you, my son?” Joshua said, Grayson moving, walking to the fireplace, staring into its fiery center.

“Yes, Father. I’ve known since the infancy of my life. Her love was the greatest I’ve ever known, her trust in myself unbreakable. She always knew. She confided in myself that truth when we were mere children, a brother and sister of total love.” He said, Almira moving, her hand going to her son’s shoulder.

“Since you were children? I followed both of you through your young lives, my son. I saw your total love for each other. I just didn’t sense its greater meaning. My child was...was an angel?” She said, Grayson’s violet pools meeting hers, then his father’s.

“Yes, Mother. Sarina was God’s child, a servant of his love. She still is.” He said, everyone looking surprised.

“Still is, Grayson? You mean...she’s...she’s still alive?” Joshua said, Grayson’s eyes meeting his.

“I don’t know that truth, Father. I only know that I’ve seen her several times since her death. I know the truth of that as well.” He said, Lucas walking up to him and Almira.

“Return to your Joshua’s arms, Great Grandmother.” He said, Almira looking at her son, then walking to Joshua, the man’s arms going around her.

Grayson’s eyes met Lucas’, the young man smiling, kissing his cheek.

“She had a steadfast loyal brother in you, Uncle Gray. Your love for each other could never end. Tell us the story of her young life, of her path and its continuing truth.” Lucas said, Grayson nodding, turning and looking around at everyone.

“Sarina was beauty as I was strength. She was courage as I was intellect. We were so alike in many ways, but different in our magic and our love. Hers in both ways was stronger. The reality of her inner soul was the truth of that greatness. Love was her greatest strength. We all fell under it, myself the most. She was my sister, my friend, and my life. It was she who guided me to my profession, law and its intellectual greatness. She followed her own path. Myself guiding it to its loving heart.”

“Sanderson Hayworth?” Emerson said, Grayson nodding.

“The two fell in love when she was eighteen. We all saw the beauty of its showing greatness. She saw the greater truth behind it. A truth even he didn’t know of.” Grayson said, Lucas nodding.

“That the man she’d fallen in love with later became something more?” Lucas said, everyone looking confused.

Joshua stared at Lucas, the young man’s eyes moving around to his family.

“Duality of life shows in many ways. The two children of my great-grandparents revealing love. The two brothers joined together under my great-grandfather’s love. And the two beings of life residing in Hudson’s soul. Evil and goodness.” Lucas said, Emerson’s eyes widening.

“Sanderson was trapped by the evil!” He said, Grayson’s eyes meeting his.

“Yes, Emmy. My sister’s loving husband was possessed by the evil. None of us sensed it, none of us knew it at that time.” He said, his brother and parents staring at him with deep love.

Grayson turned back to the fireplace, staring into its dying embers, Lucas’ hand going to his shoulder.

“But you unravelled the truth in the eyes staring back at you that day at my condo, when Sheridan revealed his true self.” He said, Grayson’s violet pools turning and meeting Lucas’ violet pools.

“Yes, Lucas. I saw in him the evil created by his father’s trapped self, and I saw the lost love of my dead sister buried even deeper. The evil owned the young man as it had owned his father.” Grayson said, Lucas nodding.

“Evil walks on many paths, Uncle. Through all my family’s lives. It has much to answer for.” He said, Grayson nodding, his hand going to Lucas’ strong shoulder, staring into his violet pools.

“I know the truth, Lucas. She came to me after, a soft vision of her once loving self. She told me the truth.”
“What truth, Grayson?” Gabriel said, now at his husband’s side, his arm going around him, Grayson seeing his unchanged love in his blue pools.

“She died by evil, my love. My loving sister died in that car accident by evil’s hands. Her own husband Sanderson drove their car off that cliff, the man possessed by that evil. Evil robbed my family of her love. And all that remained was their son. A hidden monster created from that evil possession. My sister’s love was lost within that child. I don’t think Sherman ever experienced her real love.” He said, the man now in tears, Gabriel holding him close.

“It was his loss, my love. For her love must have mirrored your own.” He said, Grayson breaking from his husband’s embrace.

“I tried to give him that love, Gabe. He couldn’t see it. The evil had his soul.” He said, Lucas’ hand going to the older man’s shoulder again.

“Sherman Hayworth didn’t know the truth of his own soul. Evil festered there, creating that monster he became. The mother’s love hidden within him wasn’t strong enough to  claim his soul. He chose his path as all do. You do not have to feel any remorse for his chosen life. Evil claimed it always.” He said, Grayson nodding.

He turned staring at his parents, Joshua and Almira staring at him with love.

“She was our angel, my son. We all loved her.” Almira said, Joshua staring at his son.
“She has shown herself to you, Grayson?” He said, the older man nodding.
“Yes, Father. At every moment of my troubled life she has walked beside him, talking to me, giving my courage and her continuing love. I last saw her on Embrace Island, the day I married my Gabriel. Her smile was the happiest I have seen.” He smiled, everyone looking surprised.

“She...she was there?” Finn said, Lucas smiling at him.

“Love draws love, my friend. Much hidden love shone around us those days.” Lucas said, everyone looking surprised.

Lucas looked at his great-grandparents, both staring at him.

“You were there those days, Grandfather Joshua. You said the love drew you there.” He said, Joshua nodding.

“Your love I now see drew many.” He said, walking up to his grandson.

“My...my Sarina was there also? I...I didn’t sense her.” He said, Lucas’ hand going to his uniformed shoulder.

“You and Almira were both hidden around our love. She was drawn as well. An angel’s love is hidden from everyone, even other angels, as those surrounding us can attest.” He said, Pierce and Alain nodding, the other angels doing the same.

“She is here now, Lucas?” Alain said, looking around.

“Seven of angelic worths surround us, my family. The eighth of the nine is here as well.” He said, looking around at his family.

“As Uncle Gray stated, her love was unending. An angel’s love and soul never perish. It continues on its path, changing as life changes.” Lucas said, smiling around at everyone.

“You mean she’s in another soul now?” Emerson said, his wife’s arms going around him, everyone looking around the room.

“Yes, Grandfather. An angel’s love never dies. It transforms itself into other beings, onto other paths, always going forward on God’s path. My soul is the center of many paths. All are drawn to its love.”
“So she’s here now, here with us?” Finn said, his blue eyes meeting everyone’s in the room.

“Today that angel stands with my love. She only has to walk into the light of it.” He said, the young man smiling, his violet pools meeting two blue pools.

Someone rose from their seat, everyone turning and staring at that person.

“How long have you known, Lucas?”

Lucas smiled, moving from the fireplace, walking up to that person, smiling.

“My soul has always sensed the love surrounding me, and His protection. You could have told me.” He smiled, two blue eyes staring into his violet pools of love.

“He asked me not to, Lucas. He said that His love would right your path.” She smiled, everyone looking surprised.

Finn rose from his seat, staring into two blue eyes of love.

“It...you can’t be!” He said, that person’s eyes lowering, Lucas smiling at his best friend.

“Love comes from many souls, Finegan. You’ve experienced a greater soul.”

Finn looked shocked, as did everyone in the room, all staring at the woman standing in front of Lucas and Finn.

Skyler Templeton smiled, the woman no longer alone in her truths.

“You...you’re an angel?” Finn said, his voice filled with awe and shock.

Skyler smiled, her eyes meeting Lucas’ violet pools, then returning to Finn’s blue pools.

“I will always be your angel, my Finn.”

Lucas smiled, Finn staring at Skyler, his eyes tearing up.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” He said, Skyler walking up to him, joining his hands with hers.

“My soul has been all consuming, walking many paths through many lifetimes. This lifetime, your love, it is the greatest happiness I have long felt. I love you, Finnegan. You are the greatest soul of love and happiness I have known. I’m sorry for not stating to you the truth of my real existence. But the real me--the real me you know--is the real Sarina.”

“The real Jophiel.” Lucas smiled, Skyler nodding.

“Jophiel?” Finn said, staring into Skyler’s blue pools.

“Skyler’s true soul is the angel Jophiel, one of God’s nine of worth. That name means in truth Beauty Of God, and that she always was.” Lucas smiled, Skyler smiling at him.

Finn stared at Skyler, the man squeezing her hands.

“You are the most beautiful to me.” He said, Lucas smiling, seeing Finn’s unchanged love shining through, the emotion of the moment felt by all.

Ian and Lorraine Templeton rose from their seats staring at their daughter.

“You...my child is an angel?” Lorraine said, Skyler smiling at her parents.

“You always called me your little angel, Dad. I always was and still am.” She said, the two moving, hugging their child, Finn smiling at all three.

Finn’s eyes met Lucas’, the young man smiling at him and the gathered family.

“Your heart feels the real Jophiel, Finny. She is one and the same. Her love will always be the sky of your world.” He said, Finn smiling, Skyler staring at him, her parents surrounding her.

“I love you,  Sky. You will always be my angel.” He said, the woman tearing up, moving, Finn’s strong arms going around her, their lips meeting.

Everyone stared at the two joined in love, Lucas smiling.

The two broke their kiss, staring into each other’s eyes.

“I was so afraid, Finn. That my love, our love, couldn’t stand against the truth.”

Finn smiled, kissing her lips softly again.

“You keep surprising me, my love. I love you so much.” He said, Skyler’s smile wide.

Finn’s eyes moved, staring into Lucas’ violet pools.

“And our friend surprises both of us.” He said, Skyler nodding, staring at Lucas.

She moved, walking up to her friend, Lucas smiling at her.

“How long have you know, Luke?” She said, Lucas sighing softly.

“Since the moment I met you, Skyler. Not the truth of your real soul, but the love surrounding you I have always felt. It just took me awhile to reason out who your real soul was. Not so with Finny, he’s been a lovesick puppy since you neutered him.”

Skyler laughed loudly, Finn blushing, others laughing, the awe giving way to truth.

Her eyes moved, staring at Lucas’ family now standing behind him.

Her eyes met Grayson’s violet pools, the man’s face showing an awed uncertainty.

“Yes, Gray. It’s really me.” She said, Lucas’ eyes meeting hers, the man smiling.

“Love never ends, for families united in love.” He said, Skyler smiling.

The woman standing before Lucas looked at Grayson, her form changing, an older more beautiful woman showing.

Lucas family sobbed as one, Grayson moving, the older man throwing his arms around her, the woman smiling, everyone staring at Grayson holding his lost sister in his arms.

Joshua’s arms were around Almira, Emerson’s in Isadora’s, Tristan and Savannah showing tearing eyes.

“My family unites, all now together as life should have made it.” Lucas said, the young man feeling Josh’s arms going around him, Lucas feeling his surrounding love.

“You unite all, my love.” He said, everyone staring at the two siblings still embracing.

Sarina Carlisle broke from her brother’s embrace, wiping the tears showing in his eyes, the man feeling another arm going around him, Sarina smiling at Gabriel.

“He has your love, Gabriel, as he’s always had mine.” She smiled, Gabriel smiling at her.

“Hello, lost one. I’m Gray’s life.” He said, Sarina smiling, nodding her head, Grayson staring at her.

“Love is all one needs.” She said, Grayson smiling at her.

“I’ve missed you so much, Sari!” He said, Sarina smiling.

“I’ve always been with you, Gray. My love was always close.” She said, her eyes meeting Joshua’s and Almira’s.

The two walked forward, Joshua’s eyes full of tears.

“Hello, my little Sarina. I’ve missed….” He sobbed, the man embracing his daughter, she feeling his lost love.

“I’m here always, Father.” She said, her violet pools staring into Almira’s wet violet pools.

Joshua broke his hold on the woman, she smiling at him.

“Yes, I sense you always have been.” He said, his eyes meeting Almira’s.

Sarina walked  up to her mother, Almira tearing up.

“Hello, Mother. Long have I wanted to hold you in my arms and feel your deep love as Father’s felt. I’ve always loved you.” She said, Almira softly sobbing.

“As I have loved you and Gray, my child.” She cried, Sarina’s arms going around her, the two embracing, everyone wiping tears from their eyes.

Finn walked up beside Lucas, his hand going to his shoulder.

“You gather all love, Lucky.” He said, Lucas smiling at him.

“All walk on my path, our little puppy.” He said, Finn chuckling.

“And some of us keep surprising the crap out of us.” He said, slapping Lucas’ ass.

Lucas smiled, the two women breaking their embrace, their eyes filled with love.

Sarina moved , hugging Emerson and Tristian, both feeling her returned love.

The family joined as one, everyone watching their uniting love.

Sarina turned towards Lucas and Finn,her form changing into Skyler’s beautiful self again.

“Thank you, Lucas. For giving me their love in my heart again. I have all my families now surrounding me.” She said, Lucas nodding, smiling at his old friend.

“Love fills all our souls. We can all now walk our paths.” He said, the young woman nodding.
Her form changed again, softly increasing, her beauty increasing as well.

Two large white wings now expanded behind her, her golden hair longer and curlier, a regal angel now standing before everyone.

“I am Jophiel, child of God’s love, one of the nine of His worth.” She said, Lucas nodding, the other angels around the room rising to their feet, their winged selves now showing.

Meresankh walked up to the woman, the two women smiling at each other.

“Your love shines always, Jophiel. Long have we all missed it.” She smiled, the two sisters of God’s love embracing.

Alain’s golden eyes met Lucas’ violet pools, the man smiling at him.

“You have drawn us all out, Lucas. We await the coming truths.” He said, the man moving; Gideon, Pierce, Felix, Cardinal Fredrick and Haven now surrounding the two female angels, all embracing the new arrival.

“Alain’s right, my love. You’ve revealed them all, and the hidden Asrael. I think your path’s ready.” Josh said, Lucas’ eyes meeting his.

“It always was ready, my love. I just had to organize the players upon it.”

The eight angels looked at their soulmates, then all met Lucas’ violet pools.

“Jibrail is correct, Lucas. We are all ready.” Jophiel said, Lucas nodding.

“I take your love and courage with my own. You shall stand together with the Curucuar tomorrow. “ He said, Colton’s blue eyes meeting his.

Lucas’ eyes moved around, everyone’s eyes meeting his.

“Today is about family. The joining of all of us. All we need today is our families.” He smiled, little Justy moving from Lance’s lap, running up to his father.

“We’s all family, Daddy! “ He grinned, Lucas smiling, bending down and picking his son up.

“Yes, my son. An amazing family of love.”

Everyone smiled, rising from their seats, the eight angels returning to their current forms, their soulmates surrounding them, everyone moving and talking as one.

Finn stared into Skyler’s blue pools, their lips meeting, their children in their arms.

Lucas smiled, his son kissing his cheek, his soulmates and other son surrounding him.

“Going to be fun, Daddy!” Little Justy smiled, Lucas smiling widely.

All families joined, one true family surrounding him.

A Few Hours Later

Lucas sighed, floating in the water, the young man feeling the warmth of the late afternoon’s sun radiating down on his wet smooth body.

The pool was deserted, he alone floating in its center.

He sighed again, feeling the surrounding love around him, feeling its growing greatness.

He sensed everyone around him, feeling their love, some flirtatious, some needful, and a lot of happiness flowing through all.

Everyone had dined on a delicious lunch, one family gathered together as one.

He’d watched everyone through lunch, feeling their happiness and love.

After lunch smaller families had divided, going off on their own paths.

Josh and his men had taken their sons out to the large gardens for some running and happiness, Lucas forgoing it, saying he’d join them later in the sunshine.

His soulmates had sensed his giving love, sensing he’d walk around and talk to everyone individually to allay their loving concerns.

They’d all kissed him goodbye, Josh’s kiss the most ardent.

Lucas had walked the house, talking to everyone, the man feeling everyone’s needful love.

He’d calmed many heart of need, everyone feeling his giving love.

He’d talked for over an hour with Grayson, Gabriel’s arm around him, the man feeling his grand-nephew’s focused love.

He’d played with Julian and Diane, their parents feeling Lucas’ love as well.

Everyone in the house felt his gathering love.

Here now Lucas was by himself, the man floating on a pool chair, lost in his own thoughts.

He smiled, feeling a gathering love behind him.

“Dive into my love, Welshman. And lose the trunks.”

The young man heard the splash, the ripples of it rocking his pool chair.

He opened his violet pools, a wet face staring at him, Finn floating beside the chair.

“I’m not giving you a free show, perv. And how did you know it was me?” Finn smiled, Luca smiling back.

“Your shows are never free, Finnegan. They keep wanting me wanting more.” He smiled, Finn laughing, splashing water at him.

“Where’s your boytoys, Mr. Wonder?” He smiled, Lucas smiling at him.

“They’re playing with their sons. I’ll play with them later.”
Finn rolled his eyes, Lucas laughing.

“I’m surprised to see you out here alone, Luke. Everything okay?” He said, Lucas smiling at him.

“I was about to ask you the same, Finny.” He said, Finn’s eyes lowering, the man moving back, swimming across the pool, going to the ladder.

Lucas sighed, jumping off the pool chair, swimming across the pool, Finn now sitting on the pool’s edge, his feet dangling in the water.

Lucas climbed the pool’s ladder, sitting down beside Finn, the man handing him a towel, Lucas smiling and wiping his chest and back with it, Finn staring at him.

“You’ve really toned up, Luke. I see why your men are so happy.” He said, Lucas smiling.

“Got to keep them wanting more, Chewy. You’ve keep your hot and hairy form nicely too, Chewy.” Lucas smiled, scanning the Welshman’s muscular form.
“Sky loves my form.” He said, the young man looking out at the now calm pool’s surface.

Lucas’ arm went around his friend, feeling the man’s warmth.

“I sensed when I talked with you two earlier with the kids that you were mulling things over in your mind, Finny. Care to talk to a friend?” He said, Finn’s blue eyes meeting his violet.

“My Skyl’s an angel, Luke. How in God’s name do I deserve that?” He said, Lucas smiling, sensing what was going on in Finn.

“You deserve it because you are a man with just as loving a soul. I’ve always felt your love, Finn. You’re a strong, courageous, giving, loving man. Sky’s felt the greater beauty of your soul. Your children will now feel that. You have what you deserve, Finn. Love, happiness and life.”

Finn smiled, staring into Lucas’ violet pools.

“She’s an angel, Luke. My Sky’s an angel. It’s just so unbelievable.” He said, Lucas smiling at him.

“A loving angel and a horny devil. God does work in mysterious ways.”

Finn laughed, blushing, Lucas smiling and kissing his lips, the man feeling his love.

“I felt the love flowing the last few hours, Finnegan. Your angel’s beauty was matched by your giving love. Skyler’s one lucky woman. I smell her love off of you. All your love is damn overpowering. Even the water couldn’t mask it.”

Finn blushed more, Lucas smiling more.

“She was beautiful, Luke. As she always is. I love her so much.”
“I know, Finny. Her true self won’t change the person you know. All are one and the same. She already spoke to you from her heart. You are the love of her life.”

Finn smiled widely nodding his head.

“Otherwise I’d be knee deep in you, stud.” Lucas smiled, Finn laughing.

“Why stop there, I’ve got a lot more to offer.” He winked, Lucas smiling.

He leaned over, licking Finn’s left hair covered nipple.

“Too much hair, it would like holding a bear. Just as wild and with claws too. Want me to be your honeypot?” Lucas smiled, batting his eyelashes.

Finn grinned, his arms going around Lucas, rising from his seating position, Lucas now in his arms, Finn licking his cheek.

“You don’t taste like honey, Lukey. And you need to cool off.” Finn laughing, Lucas becoming airborne, screaming as he hit the pool’s surface.

Lucas’ form broke the surface, Finn smiling down at him.

“I guess I deserved that.” He said, wiping his face, Finn smiling at him.

“You deserve my friendship and love, Lukey.” He said, the man smiling as three men walked out of the shrubs lining the pool, two little men running in front of them.

“Daddy, we goes swimming!” Little Joshy said, little Justy at his side, both wearing swim trunks.

Josh smiled at Finn, the man smiling at him and Justin and Lance, Josh and Lance picking their sons up in their arms.

“Come on in guys. The water’s warm and laced with Finny’s love. Bastard won’t take the trunks off though. It’s like he’s guarding the Queen’s jewels.” Lucas grinned, swimming towards the pool’s edge, Lance handing little Joshy down to him. Lance then diving into the pool.

Josh smiled, climbing down the ladder, he and little Justy moving through the water.
Justin pulled off his shirt, smiling at Finn’s muscled hairy form.

“I think the Queen’s going bankrupt if that’s what you call crown jewels.” He smiled widely, Finn laughing.

He looked down into the pool, Lucas smiling up at him.

“Skyler’s my queen always. Enjoy the boytoys, Luke.” Finn grinned, the man picking up Justin, the man screaming as he became airborne, hitting the water.

Justin came to the surface, his men and sons surrounding him, Justin wiping his wet face.

“I’m going to get even, Delaney!” He said, Finn smiling at all four man.

“I think you’re going to get more, Timberlake. And I’ll stir the pot.” Finn smiled, the man’s hands going to his swim trunks, pulling them off.

Everyone’s eyes widened, Lucas smiling at his three men’s staring shocked faces, Justin taking in Finn’s complete nakedness.

Finn smiled widely, Lucas giving him a thumb’s up.

“Thanks, Finny. They’re stoked, I’ll take it from here.”

Finn laughed, picking up his trunks, walking off the pool’s edge, heading back through the pathway, all four men staring at his muscled, flexing backside.

“My God, he’s beautiful.” Justin said, the man feeling two arms wrap around him, a tongue licking his ear.

“Stoked beyond need. Come on, Timby. I’ll  quench that fire.” Lucas said, swimming backwards, Justin pulled with him.

Josh and Lance smiled,  their sons in their arms.

“Come on Lancy. Timby’s found his happiness. Let our sons find theirs.” He smiled, Lance smiling at him, the two swimming towards the shallow end with their sons.

Behind them Justin was moaning, the man wrapped in the giving arms of his Lucas.

Hours Later

Lucas stared down at the bed, smiling with love at the three of his soul.

Justin was in the middle of the bed, his arms wrapped around Lucas’ own self.

One hand was on Lucas’ center, the other attached to Josh’s center, the man snuggled against Justin’s right side.

Lance was on Lucas’ left, his head against Lucas’ shoulder, his hand on Justin’s chest.

Lucas smiled, remembering the hours of intense love making the four had enjoyed, their love filing his soul, his filling theirs.

“I love you all.” He softly said, covering the four naked men with a sheet, walking over to his sons’ crib, both sleeping deeply.

Lucas smiled, walking across the room and walking right through the large wooden door.

He walked down the hallway, stopping at each door, sensing the love flowing behind each.

He smiled, then sensed something more.

He walked up to a door, walking through it.

He stared at a large four poster bed, two visions of beauty showing.

Usher lay in the middle of the bed, his naked black form wrapped in two angelic arms, a large white wing covering his chest, Pierce sound asleep beside him.

Lucas took in their naked beauty, the man looking towards the bedroom’s open balcony door.

He walked to it, stopping and taking in a greater vision of naked beauty.

Adam stood on the balcony, staring out into the dark night.

Lucas took in his tattooed naked form, his bubbly butt facing him.

Lucas smiled, walking out into the night’s freshness, walking up to Adam, standing beside him.

His arm went around the man’s naked waist, Adam feeling his warmth and love.

“I sensed you out there in the darkness, Luke.”
“I sensed your love in my soul, Adam.” Lucas said, Adam’s eyes turning, staring at him.

Lucas saw the tears showing there, the young man’s arms wrapping around him, Adam sinking into Lucas’ clothed warmth.

Lucas wore a polo shirt and shorts, his evening’s previous attire.

Adam’s head went against, Lucas’ chest, Lucas holding him close, one hand rubbing his warm naked back.

“I love them so much, Lucas. Their love tonight was so unbelievable.” He said, Lucas smiling.

“I feel that love in your soul. And I saw their revealed beauty. You have much to be thankful for. They have even more.” Lucas said, Adam raising his head, Lucas smiling at him.

Adam realized he was naked, the man blushing.
“Don’t be ashamed of what you show, Adam. They alone have it’s total beauty. I saw theirs and you have it.” Lucas smiled, Adam smiling back, looking towards the bedroom.

“I love them so much, Lucas!” He said, Lucas smiling, his hand going to the man’s naked shoulder.

“They love you, Adam. The three of you have each other’s soul and love. That’s all that you each need.” He said, Adam smiling.

“I’ve always felt you within me, Lucas. I think you have my love as well.”
Lucas smiled, leaning forward and kissing Adam’s lips.

“Our love is in our friendship and gathered soul.” Lucas said, his violet pools moving to the darkness of the night, staring up into the star filled sky.

Adam stared at the young man, his arm going around him.

“Tomorrow is the big day, Lucas. Here on the edge of it I feel your uncertainty.” Adam said, Lucas’ eyes turning to his, the singer seeing a soft wetness in both violet pools.

“I’m not uncertain, Adam. I’m just lost in the quietness of the gathering storm. Tomorrow brings life, in so many ways.”
Adam nodded, Lucas leaning against the stone railing.

“And what does tomorrow bring for you, Luke?” He said, Lucas sighing, staring out into the night.

“It brings the answer to my dreams. And the answer to life’s truth.” He said, turning back, scanning Adam’s naked self.

“Speaking of dreams.” He said, Adam blushing.

Lucas smiled, patting Adam’s shoulder.

“I don’t need the beauty of your own self, Adam. Otherwise we’d be lost within our own passions.” He smiled, Adam smiling, Lucas taking in the singer’s rising desires.

“I think you men need that total beauty. Today I’ve seen so much beauty. Life is going to be amazing.” He smiled, Adam smiling at him.

Lucas’ hand went to Adam’s shoulder again.

“Love is worth everything, Adam. You just have to remember that time saves all. We only have to take the time to show our love. They have yours, my friend.” Lucas said, the man moving forward, their lips meeting.

Adam felt a deep love flow through him, the man lost in the greatness of it.

He moved back, opening his eyes, two arms wrapping around him.

“You’ve wandered from our love, my Adam.”  Usher said, his black arms around his man.

Adam’s blue pool’s met Pierce’s golden orbs, the angel now beside both of them.

Adam looked around, no sign of Lucas.

“I needed the night’s coolness to calm the heat of it.” Adam said, Pierce smiling at him, his white wings wrapping around his lovers.

“You are the heat of our desires, Noah.” He smiled, Adam smiling, their lips meeting.

“Let’s go back to bed, my angels. It will be morning soon enough.” Usher said, Adam smiling at him, their lips meeting, their love flowing.

“We have all the time in the world. Our love is forever.” Pierce said, Adam staring out into the darkness.

‘All the time.” He said, the man smiling, walking back into the bedroom with his soulmates.

Downstairs in a garden a solitary form looked up at their balcony, a soft smile crossing an ancient face.

Two golden wings expanded, a soft laugh echoing on the night’s air.

The image faded, the night silent.

End of Chapter 237

And so the day ends, the morrow bringing greater truths.

The day of destiny may be at hand.

Another--and the last--of the hidden angels has been shown.

Skyler, Finn’s own angel.

Now revealed as Grayson’s lost sister, the daughter of Almira Carlisle and Joshua Belmont.

An angel in her true soul.

The eight are now ready, revealed for destiny.

As is the hidden Azrael.

Nine of God’s divinity.

What will happen tomorrow?

It seems Lucas stands on the edge of destiny.

Only time will show the truth.

Sorry for the tardiness of the last few chapters, life consumes us all.

Hopefully I will get this moving on a better time frame.

The end approaches, but the path may have a few surprises.

Hugs, Angel.
