Mary gave birth to the long waited Messiah, Jesus Christ. But after the celebration the archangel Gabriel came to visit her. He was surrounded by white glowing butterflies. It was nighttime.
Mary: Hello Gabriel, what brings you here today?
Gabriel: I am here to announce two things: 1. I would like to say congratulations on giving birth to the Son of God.
Mary: It is truly a blessing Gabriel.
Gabriel: 2. You are going to give birth to another child.
Mary: What?! God wants me to give birth to another child?
Gabriel: That is correct, he will be a male making him the brother of Jesus. Also, God has chosen a name for him as well.
Mary: What is it?
Gabriel: Ezekiel.
Then a bunch of dark butterflies started swarming them.
Mary: What's all this?!
Gabriel: It's coming from your womb. Oh no, my Lord was right.
The dark butterflies disappeared.
Mary: Phew, they're all gone I got scared for a moment. But what were you saying about the Lord being right?
Gabriel: God said that this second child might be dangerous.
Mary: Dangerous how?
Gabriel: He said that Jesus will grow up to be filled with light and love, but Ezekiel would grow up to be filled with darkness and power. He will still be a Messiah like his older brother.
Mary: If this is true why would he still be a Messiah?
Gabriel: Because even growing up with darkness, Ezekiel would do one thing that Jesus would also do. Love God with all his heart, soul, and mind.
Mary: Even if he will grow up doing bad things, he is still my son and I won't abandon him. My Ezekiel.
Gabriel:*nods* And about those butterflies coming from your womb, that is because you are already pregnant with him inside. So be prepared.
Mary: I will.
Gabriel then says his goodbyes and leaves Mary. Joseph then comes in and asks, "is everything alright my love, I saw all those dark butterflies swarming here." Mary then proceeds to tell Joseph about her meeting with archangel Gabriel and about Ezekiel being born.
Joseph: I see, well I won't give up on that child as well, even if he is bad.
Mary: Thanks Joseph.
They kiss and look at Jesus who is hugging Mary's stomach.
Joseph: I think he senses his brother in there.
Mary: He does and I have a feeling he will love his brother no matter what.
Joseph: He will Mary, he will.
They then went to sleep.
