Winter Gatherings | Series Crossover

The Arrival

This first part is written in omniscient point of view because I wanted to write about everyone arriving. The rest of the story will be written in POVs from random, mostly favorited, characters. I'm looking at you, Dax.

Remember, there will be spoilers from every book except the second book of Death by Death because I'm still working on it. 

Another reminder, there are two ships that happen in here that never happened yet in their stories, but I've made it pretty clear that they're going to end up together. *cough* Jake and Taylor *cough* *cough* Lilly and Flynn *cough* so it's not really a spoiler.

I've gone back and added the ages of everyone in the preview, so make sure you check that out before reading this to avoid confusion. cx

Warning: Marcus and Gemma are in here and they like to curse when they get mad. Swearing is Gemma's second language. Possibly her first. cx

The Arrival

       The door to the ski lodge opened and in walked a family that has been planning on staying there for quite some time. It took a while to take time off because Grayson Prince didn't want to miss out helping animals as a vet, but his wife Poppy was finally able to convince him.

       Their children ran inside and began running around the place. Grayson sighed and placed the luggage on the floor before trying to stop five year old Nolan, Alan, and Orchid from running around. Their nine-year-old son, Ryder, just stood by, watching them.

       Walking in next was Grayson's younger sister, Ginny, and her boyfriend, Nick. Ginny was currently living with Grayson and since they were coming here, she insisted on Nick coming as well. And since Nick was coming, his family wanted to come too.

       His family was really close with Grayson and Poppy, the main reason being that Nick's sister-in-law was Grayson and Ginny's cousin, Elliot. She walked inside with her husband, Laughlin, and their children, Elizabeth and Aaron, following. Aaron saw the triplets running around and was going to start running too, but Laughlin's reactions were always quick so he picked up his son before he could start running around.

       Nolan ran over to Ryder. "Come play, Ryder!" he said.

       "Later," Ryder said. "We can't run around here."

       "Aww," Nolan said with a frown. Thankfully for Poppy and Grayson, Nolan listened to what Ryder said and didn't run around anymore.

       Grayson was able to catch Alan and now that nobody else was running around, Orchid stopped. "You guys are too hyper," Grayson said.

       "It's fun!" Alan said with a giggle.

       "Fun for you," Grayson said. "Not so much me. Now come on. Let's go get our rooms so this will be the best vacation ever."

       Little did Grayson know that his sworn enemy, Seb Smythe, and his family was coming.

       Not long after they all went upstairs after checking in, the door opened again. Dax Smythe walked in with his pregnant wife, Isadora, and their son, Wilder, following, as well as Dax's rottweiler Skittles and Isadora's munchkin cat Rosa. "So, Isa," Dax said. "I kind of smell, so I think we should shower."

       Isadora smacked Dax upside his head. "How many times do I have to tell you to stop?" she asked.

       "Well, considering I keep doing it, obviously not enough," Dax said.

       Dax's older brother, Seb, walked in, followed by Seb's wife, Artemis, their children Evelyn and Atticus, Dax and Seb's sister Gemma, and her boyfriend Marcus. "Dax, leave her alone," Seb said.
