Guardian of Mankind: Cain's Deliverance

How does one parent?

"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."

-Proverbs 22:6

Raising a child was not Cain's specialty.

Sure he's been married.....twice.....kinda.....and sure he's had kids with both of them, but he's never RAISED them. Or helped raise them either.

So taking care of an infant was something Cain had no idea how to do.

Thankfully the child never seems to cry....Which was worrying for the immortal. Even during the, admittedly, loud battle back at the cemetery he never seemed to cry either.

It was eerie, and he was wide awake too, red eyes just staring at him. Cain doesn't even remember if he blinked.

Should he take Lucifer's spawn to a doctor? Is the problem even physical and not just because of his heritage? Well, children's hospitals do know proper procedures on how to take care of said children. At the very least Cain could get some information on how to take care of an infant and not be left in the dark.

After the check-up the nurse told him that the child was fine, though they had to give him a bath.

While the doctors checked him up Cain looked at every magazine and pamphlet in the office to soak in every type of info on how to raise a kid.

Though the nurse did say one thing that boggled the first murderer's mind.

"What's the child's name?" She asked while cradling and playing with him.

What's his name....What is his name? The mother died before he could get to her. He didn't see any type of identification on him either. Out of the billions of names out there, which one should he choose?

"Charlemagne....Charlemagne Daystar." Cain announced.

He didn't know why he named him after Charles the Great. Because he was a Christian king? Because he gave land and money to the churches and popes, which he could use as a simile as the antichrist giving Heaven a powerful figure. Because Charles was "The Man of Gold" and could be used in a similar light to the Antichrist being "The child of Light" (since Lucifer used to be the brightest angel.)

So many metaphorical similarities that he could make. So many Christian historical figures that he could've named the boy after. But he decided on Charlemagne.

"Charlemagne Daystar? Huh. Interesting name, and a mouthful too. How about we call him Charlie for short? Wouldn't you like that little guy would you~" She baby talked the....well baby.

Cain liked the name Charlemagne and he'll keep it, but he'll call him Charlie for short.

Surprisingly through the doctors and the trip through the store (for baby supplies) there have been no demon or angel attacks....yet...

Now, in a diner in indiana Cain was eating waffles while Charlie was shockingly drinking his own bottle without any help.

How old was this kid again? He looked young. Possibly a year old? He has teeth so...

"In further news Graceland Cemetary has been hit with a devestating earthquake! Surprisingly the rest of Chicago has not been hit and with MORE surprising news the statue of Dexter Graves is fully intact leaving some of Chicago's population relieved and thanking God for the good news. The city-"

'Of course it's intact, but not by God's doing.' Cain silently argues as he tuned out the rest of the news.

Chicago. He felt sorry for the hundreds buried there but he had to leave as soon as possible before Haniel could awake or call for reinforcements. Or in case Lucifer has been notified of Agares passing.
