Wings

Chapter Thirteen

You lay in the bed provided for the silk sheets cold to the touch. Your eyes kept landing on the family photo gracing the walls the all the siblings looking alike. You've learned they weren't all between Lilith and Lucifer for they were never a couple. More of a bestfriend scenario. You get up deciding to walk to your son's room to keep you company. You guide yourself with the candle that was at your bedside glad it was only two yards away from you own sleeping area. As you make your way there, you see someone exit you growling almost instantly in a motherly response. You lighten up once seeing it was Julianic his lightening up like Christmas as they land on you at the fact you're visiting the child. He opens the door for taking the candle away afraid you'll burn yourself. He tells you he's finally asleep again being quite the night owl.

" I see he gets it from you."

" When are we going back from my other rocklings?"

You say it bluntly and unloving.

" When my father approves of it. I promise you it'll be soon."

He lied not sure if his father would approve of another child from the stones. The child they have now is completely too powerful. You see his stone on an alter it glowing near him. He'll be completely dependent off it for a few years you glad it's in good hands. As you peer down at him, you're reminded at how he's the perfect mixture of you and Julianic smiling at the beautiful child. A smile blesses your lips it slowly disappearing as Julianic wraps his arms around you and begins purring like a cat. You want to pull away, but his touch is so alluring. You lean against his bare chest taking in his body heat causing him to tighten his grip. You liked it was out of pure affection and not sexual desires.

" All I will do is respect this body unlike what they've done to you at that bar."

" That was my choice."

" But why? I simply don't understand why you put yourself through that."

You think about the day you saved Jacob, and how you hate sacrificed your body then. It makes you shudder at how roughly you were treated making him place his head in the crook of your neck.

" I chose those time."

" Where there times you didn't choose?"

You were silent before nodding. Why are you letting down your walls? You feel him pull you back him sitting in a rocking chair and you in his lap. He rocks you like a child asking for more, but you're silent.

" Then tell me how you have those demons? Did you agree to them?"

You shake your head no.

" It was my first job. I was a newbie in meddling with occult affairs-."

" Job? Were you paid?"

" In rocklings kind of."

" Then no. It wasn't a job. More of a hobby. What did you do?"

You take a deep breath before the explaination. There was no reason to hide it. Everyone knew now.

" I killed occults that went against the rules of the elite."

He stops rocking for a moment looking serious.

" Well, that explains your sins. They simply weren't making sense to me, but father kept reassuring you were good. I think he honestly was trying to look past the bad for my sake."

You were silent as he started rocking again landing a kiss on your forehead.

" Thank you for opening up to me. I promise I'm always a good listener."

" I miss my children-."

You suddenly grab at your hands feeling a stinging pain around your fingers. You shake it as if it was on fire you watching glowing rings form around each nuckle. He rubs them you ignoring the pain not wanting to appear soft anymore.

" These are snake rings I believe. Where on Earth are they though, and why are so many provoked. I don't know if this is a matter I should talk to my father at this instant."

You looked up at the light flickering in his greenish-gold eyes watching them go back and forth from the two curiously. His bright blonde hair was almost blinding you admiring his worry for something so serious. You can't help but to be reminded of Valentine though as it looks like he's about to kiss you. This signal you to get up leaving the God of Justin cold. You wanted to reassure him it's probably okay, but if they were snake rings, isn't that quite a large problem, isn't it? He leaves hurt saying he'll be going to his father him hopefully being awake at this hour. You crept your way back to the baby hearing the door close behind you. Valentine flashed in your eyes, and you remember the train service outside the edge of Hell. You had witnessed it fly from the sky above though you weren't sure if this was from Earth or not. For all you know, it takes you to the Gods' world, but Earth could be an option, couldn't it? You decide to take a chance you scooping up the child and rushing to the door... just to be opened by Lilith herself. You could see the alarm in her eyes of you leaving with her grandson but glad she caught you in the act.

" I had just seen my son rush out of here, and I was concerned for the baby. What are you doing?"

" I... I was-."

" Don't lie. I'm warning you."

" I was going home..."

" This is your home now. Remember that."

She leaves the room locking it behind you. You were slightly glad you didn't make it to the train station as you put the child back. You probably wouldn't even get close. You waited for Julianic to bust through those doors, but instead, he opened it quietly about thirty minutes later.

" You we're leaving... with the baby?"

He enters only by a few feet you nodding at his despair. You flinched as he run up to the cradle and picks up your son saying 'daddy's here' over and over again. You begin crying wanting to be back in New York. You wanted to be on the Enlightenment case. You wanted to be around Jacob and Valentine. You missed Diana's flirting. You wished you were helping at the safe zone. Hell, you would even appreciate a drink right now at the bar enjoying the bartenders company. You suddenly feel him grab your shoulder to face him.

" You don't ever attempt that again. You are my wife. I'm already in love with you, so you just love me, okay? We'll be happy. Why don't all three of us sleep in my bed, huh? J-Just to be safe."

" No..."
