He stood there. Overlooking things as they unfolded. He was waiting for something. But what. His team was doing well. He smiled a sinister smile. But did he have good intentions...He turned his head to his sword that he hung up long ago.

Defender suddenly screamed to be used once more. Gabriel couldnt bare to hold the blade anymore. It seemed everytime he held Defender he was different. Darker...More like he was in the past.

He closed his eyes and wondered how he even got the blade in the first place. But once he remembered he half wished he never did anything stupid to end up with it.

But as well all know from personal life experiences nothing never never happens. It either happens or it doesn't. In Gabe's case it happened more times then not.

Rachel was laying there peacefully. Her body turning to and fro while she turned into a restless sleep. That's when her chest began to ach once more, her eyes closed tightly and she grimiced. Slowly the sound of... voices could be heard and she went still, still clutching at her pulsing chest. Tears biting as pain took over, but somehow she managed to hear those two voices clearly.

Defender? Why was Gabriel talking to his sword? There was the amount of growing questions, but for now she continued to keep her silence. Pain starting to grow more unbearable as she lay there, wishing for it to end, wishing for the agony to be done with. Finally a whimper broke from her lips and she sobbed softly, praying that Gabriel didn't hear she was in pain. What was wrong with her?

Rachel was looking up at him, her eyes wide when she heard Defender again. Her hands over her chest still while the trembled softly. Tears were streaking down her face and she managed to sob out," It hurts..."

Still shaking she sucked in a rasped breath. Her eyes still wide as she brought her free hand to clutch at his shirt. Pain weezed in and out of her lips and she kept her figure limp in his arms. She wasn't sure what to do and she didn't know if Gabriel could help. Something was wrong, her chest was burning with pain. She just didn't know what the problem was.

Taking the offered drink she let its contents dribble down her throat and the side of her cheeks. There was a face made before she slumped back. The pain slowly became more bearable, but it still remained," Gabriel..." She didn't know what to do.

Rachel was rasping for breath. Her eyes glazed over in a white sort of tone. Still gripping at him she nodded to his words, though she didn't understand them. Her heart ticked painfully against her chest and she grimiced again. Slowly her eyes rolled back into her head and for a moment her fingers went weak around his shirt.

The mansion flickered while there was a power surge. A figure appeared in a flash of light and a balding man spoke," Please state the nature of the medical emergency." He seemed rather chipper for the situation at hand.

Rachel on the other hand was just laying there. The sound of that voice, yeah that voice made her fingers tighten around Gabriel's shirt again. Shaking her head she almost whined through the pain. She knew he was supposed to be helpful, Ren said he would, but she really didn't like him. It. Hologram. Whatever the hell it was.

The Dr. looked down at Rachel and went into over drive. His panic button somehow pressed. She managed to look at the bald man before she just passed out. Going limp in her husband's arms.

The doctor spoke franticly," I have to get her to Miss Majin's house!" It was the best help he could give her at that moment.

Ren had burst through the door and screamed. Her orbs of twilight were massively wide at this point. She was storming through the room and to Rachel. Her hands shaking as she hoisted her into her arms. That Alorian was stronger then she looked.

She was bounding down the steps to her basement in a hurried pace. Panting while she whispered to Rachel,? Breathe Rachel? Breathe? remember we said you?d be just fine?. Promise.? Her head turned to seal the door behind her.

Shaking her head for a moment before she muttered,? Gabriel, stay here!? She grumbled for a moment and shut the door behind her, sealing it behind her. Sighing she managed to whisper to Rachel,? We have to do this.. It?s too dangerous? I should have guessed something would happen.?

Rachel was still unresponsive as Ren set her down on the hospital bed. Brushing her hand over the angelic?s head she managed to sigh once more. Humming soothingly she pulled out a tri-corder. The clicking hum came from it before Ren cursed loudly.

That was enough to show that this was bad. Ren tossed the machine over her shoulder and it shattered. Rubbing her hands together she furrowed her brows. The soft golden glow coming from her hand came and she started to chant.

A orb appeared over Rachel?s abdomen as slow breaths rolled on her chest. Shaking softly she started to come to. Big green eyes opened and she winced. Black hair draped over her face as she managed to cry out,? Gabriel!? But he didn?t come. Ren?s technology saw to that. The anti- magic barrier around the basement still working strong.

There was a sob from Rachel as she looked up towards the orb. A small thing inside rapidly growing. Defender was going to have a lot to answer to. It was because of the effect that he had on Rachel that this was happening.

When Rachel had first come to Ren they had discovered that Mrs. Ashlocke was five months with child, and now she was watching her child grow before her eyes. Within moments that child was nine months and at the right age to be freed from the orb. Slowly Ren lowered the child onto Rachel?s chest and into the waiting arms of the now stunned mother.

Ren gasped and lowered her hands. Eyes closed as she whispered,? I?m sorry? I had no choice. Something happened? It was for the child and your safety.? And Ren was right. There was no time to explain, because the Angelic defenses were still working.

That small child was growing at a rapid rate. Faster than Ren had expected. Hours had passed, six, seven, maybe twelve, and there was a one year old just gazing up at a very proud mother. Rachel kept silent about the growth rate of her child, just wanting to be there. She knew that the moments Ren was taking to record and protect the little one was understandable. After all.. This was for the child?s safety.

Ren was taking no chances in the health of the new born. It was roughly two days before the growing had stopped and Ren could do more tests. Proud to find that there was a healthy four year old Angelic and one very healthy mother within her basement. A sigh of relief was breathed in that instance.

It wasn?t until August 15th that Ren had given the all clear, growing done and Rachel recovered. It was time to head up stairs, and the two woman knew that. Slowly Ren opened the door and stepped aside while her eyes met the figure of a very worried Gabriel. Tired and worn not having slept.

Rachel was almost in the same state, a little hand clutching hers while she looked to her husband. A purple head poked out from behind Rachel and the same green eyes as Mommy?s peered forwards towards Gabriel. A little girl, four years old, was gazing at her father nervously. Thank goodness for Ren, the little one was dressed in jeans, a tee-shirt, and little tennies. Her hair in Sherley Temple locks that were pulled back in pig tails.

?Congrats? Daddy?? Was all Ren had to say before leaving the family alone to speak.

Of all people to be stunned. Gabriel was froen. His eyes shaking. Arms on instinct wrapped arouund the little girl. His eyes closed and tears rolled down his face as he sat up holding her.

He mumbled something. He was lucky that Defender's astral form could only be seen by him. Defender reached a hand to his shoulder and patted down.

Gabriel couldnt believe it. Why didnt she tell him. Why didnt Rachel tell him he was gunna be a father.
