The Clinic

A/N: Ready to see why Nora's so sick? I'm pretty sure though you all have a feeling what's going to happen. Anyways, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Hush, Hush saga

Patch POV:

I drove my Yamaha into Ariel's driveway beside her Mini Cooper. Vee pulled in right behind the two vehicles. Vee got out and made her way to Nora's door. I looked through the windshield and noticed Nora was sleeping. I walked over to Nora as Vee was unbuckling her. I slid my arms around Nora and picked her up bridal style.

With Vee in front of me, we arrived at the door. Vee pressed the doorbell and moved behind me. I guess she did that, so I was the first person that Ariel could see.

I heard Ariel yell, "Come in!" I nodded at Vee and she opened the door. She held it open as I walked through the threshold.

Ariel came into view with a rag on her shoulder and her light brown hair was in a messy bun. Her eyes flared as she pointed at me, "Why have you come? Come to see me after you were finished with my sister?"

I gave her a look, "I cut things off with Dabria, the moment I realized what I wanted and I knew that there was someone better than her. And I was right, but right now that someone is not feeling well, and I brought her to you."

Ariel looked down to see Nora in my arms, "Bring her to the room," we walked to her clinical room and she pulled out her clinical equipment. "I felt Dabria fade. Did you have anything to do with it, Jev?"

I smiled and shook my head and gestured towards Nora, "She indirectly had something to do with it. A little over three years ago, Dabria attempted to kill Nora. About six months later a Nephilim made the fallen angels whom feathers he burned a deal. Stay in hell or fight in his army and drink devil craft. Your sister chose the latter. I chose neither."

Ariel nodded, "That's enough. I already know who she is. She is the heir to the Nephilim monarchy. She's had a great deal of trauma, Jev. She's lost loved ones: her adoptive father, one of her best friends. I'm glad her body put her to sleep for me. Vee Sky, Jev? Step outside with me."

Vee POV:

"She's what?!" I all but screamed. "How can she be pregnant? He's a fallen angel and she's Nephilim. There should be no way that that can happen."

Ariel pointed to Patch, "With the gift of touch, he also has a few properties of a regular human male. I can tell you right now. This child will be neither human, Nephilim, or angel. More than likely, this child will be a hybrid of Nephilim and Angels. Since Nora Grey is the Blackhand's daughter, a human Nephilim hybrid, and Jev used to be an Archangel, this child will more than likely be a powerful angel with human or Nephilim qualities."

Patch was sitting in the armchair in Ariel's great room with his face in his hands. I would have thought that he would have been happy.

Ariel knelt before Patch, "Jev, you know what they will do if they find out about the baby. They will either exterminate it or steal it and teach it to be their weapon against demons. I know that since you met this girl, you have changed. I can see it in your eyes and your walk. Your mind is calm and you seem to walk with grace that even an avenging angel would be envious of. I didn't believe you could change, but you did. It was all because of a human girl who swore a changeover vow. You are a changed man, Jev. I hope that you will know how to be a father to this child, Jev."

Patch nodded and rose to his feet. He looked at me and mindspoke, 'She's awake. Don't tell her who Ariel is and don't tell her about the baby. I want her to have a semi normal pregnancy.'

I rose to my feet and followed Ariel into the room to where Nora was being kept.

Nora POV:

I woke up to seeing a gray ceiling. I seemed to be laying on futon like thing. I looked down at my body to see that I was dressed in a hospital gown. They brought me to a hospital? I attempted to reach Patch through mindspeak only to find out he was in the next room with Vee talking to the doctor.

Vee came in first with a grin and her eyes shone with amazement, worry, and excitement. What was going on? I turned my head to look at Patch who was waiting for the doctor to come in first.

The doctor had fair skin, light brown hair and green eyes that looked similar to Dabria. In fact her face reminded me of her, but this woman's face was softer and kinder. The doctor helped me into a sitting position and introduced herself. "Hello, Miss Gray. I am Ariel. I am an old friend of Jev's. Nora, we are going to run two tests to see why you are getting random flashes of sickness and dizziness," She brought out a needle and showed it to me, "First, I'm going to take a sample of your blood and run a few tests to see if my theory is correct."

As she drew my blood, I asked, "What is your theory? How long have you been on Earth? I know that you're an angel. And why do you look like Dabria?"

Ariel laughed, "You ask a lot of questions, Miss Gray."

"Nora would be fine, thank you." I gave her a curious glance.

Ariel explained everything, but her theory. She explained how she was Dabria's sister. Explained how she was exiled. As she spoke, I would occasionally glance at Patch to see his reaction. Once she left the room to take care of her tests, Patch walked over to me and grabbed my hand.

He rubbed his thumb against my fingers, "Are you okay?"

I nodded, "Patch? What's wrong with me?"

Patch sighed, "Honestly Angel, I don't really know. I know what it is called. But, I promise you I will help you as much as I can."

I glanced at him, "So you do know what's wrong with me?"

"I only know what Ariel told me. Ariel is an angel of medicine. She seemed to be the reasonable choice, and a regular doctor wouldn't know what to do with your symptoms. Ariel is an angel who probably shouldn't have fallen, but she fell because Dabria was being a naughty angel."

I smiled a small smile. I opened my mouth to say something, but Ariel came back into the room in a frenzied dash.

The three of us stared at her. She gasped, "Jev? We need to talk. Now."

A/N: And there you have it. I know, I know. A cliffhanger, but you have to admit it adds the suspicion. Hoped you liked it, and don't forget to review.
