"Pregnant? Me?" Eden gasped. "I thought it wasn't possible for me and Gabriel to become parents because of what we are. I thought you and Daddy were the only ones who were lucky enough to have offspring...."

"That's no longer the case Little One." Aziraphale rasped. He pulled Eden into his embrace, "And words will never be able to describe the joy I'm feeling at this moment."

"What's going on in there?" Crowley was pacing up and down the hallway. He had seen Bella out and was getting more worried by the second.

Apparently, Aziraphale wanted to be left alone with Eden for a bit.

Archangel Gabriel shrugged helplessly but then, to his relief, the dark blue TARDIS door opened and Aziraphale poked his head out. "Gabriel dear, Eden would like to speak with you."

Crowley was going to dart into the room right behind the Archangel but his husband stopped him....

Gabriel didn't hesitate and dashed into the room, back to his wife's side.

"Edie, is everything okay?" Gabriel kissed her fiery hot forehead and rewet the compress.

"Everything is fine Gabe." Eden replied with a strange note in her voice. "Perfect in fact." Gabriel met her serpentine gaze and realized that she looked teary eyed.

"Eden, you've been crying...."

Eden reached forward and clasped Gabriel's hands in hers.

"Gabriel....I don't know how to tell you this...." Gabriel squeezed her hands tightly. "Whatever it is you can tell me Eden. I'm going to be here for you no matter what." Fear pierced the Archangel's heart when Eden hesitated before finally saying, "Archangel Gabriel, you're going to be a father."
