Chapter 19: Time And Relaxation

" Hey, In-Training-I mean, (Y/n)."

You groaned as you slightly woke up to the sudden voice, " Few more minutes, Alex."

" I'm not Hamilton, it's me, James. We accidentally fell asleep. Get up."

Though, you still wanted to stay asleep and enjoy being able to sleep in peace, not wanting to enrage James you complied. Your eyes opened, and the first thing was James towering over you, giving his usual cold expression, still scaring the life out of you.

" Holy crap!" you flinched, staring into his eyes that could easily steal your soul. " What! Is necessary to be this close?"

" For you to hear me clearly, yes. It was either, have you understand what I was saying, or sound like I'm talking into a hole in the ground," James stated.

You stretched your body, yawning. " I guess that's reasonable." Then you realized something, " Oh sh-no, training! I got to-" You quickly got up and was about to take flight. Just when you were a foot off the floor, James grabbed your wing. " Ow, ow, ow!" you yelped.

" Sorry," James let go of your wing.

You landed on the ground, rubbing your wing that James grabbed. " Ow...Why'd you do that?"

James cleared his throat, " Training is canceled due to an accident caused by some demons."

" The Reynold," you muttered to yourself.

" What was that?"

" I'll tell you later!"

James stared at you for a moment, then rolled his eyes, " Anyways," he took out a wrinkled piece of paper from his pocket, " Hamilton wanted me to give this to you when you woke up."

You took the paper, then tried to unwrinkle it. " Let's see..."

Good morning, (Y/n),

I hope that you slept well! Due to training being canceled, I need you to do Eliza and I a favor. Everyone is unable to care for lil Philip, so you're going to have to care for him. I trust that you will not mess everything up, and not destroy my house. However, if something does happen and it is urgent, please don't hesitate to get me from work, but do be quiet. Last time you came to my work, you were screaming like a raven. Being a Fate is a serious job, and our sessions were we judge souls is very vital.

Now, that we got that out of the way, please be careful with Philip, and make sure that Madison isn't holding him wrong if he took him out of the baby basket I left. I told him to look after Philip until you woke up. Him being a Grim might give him difficulties looking after a child. Best of Luck.

Alexander.

" Wait? Philip's here?" You flinched as you heard the sudden sound of cry. Turning to the sound, you nearly screamed. " Philip!" you exclaimed as you saw James hold the poor baby my the foot. " James, no!" You instantly ran to the man.

James just observed Philip as he held him by the foot, like he was a little bunny he caught. " It's so small and loud."

" James! That's not how you hold a baby!"

James faced you, still holding Philip in a bad way. " This thing?"

" Yes! That is a baby! A two-month baby to be precise!" you rushed your words.

Oh God, he didn't know what a baby was. You thought that since he spent his time in the human world collecting souls, at least he'd know what a baby was.
