(Lauren's POV)

I felt something on me as I laid half asleep in bed. Assuming I was in the middle of sleep paralysis, I attempted to ignore the feeling and focused on only going back to sleep, but then I started to feel a hand on my arm, shaking it as if someone was trying to wake me up.

"Lauren.." I  heard a familiar male voice calling out to me.

I decided to open my eyes  and looked over to my right. There I've spotted a familiar figure in a trench coat.

I sat up a little and smiled. " Hey Cas, please tell me its really you and that I'm not just seeing things ."

"I don't understand what you're trying to say, Lauren. Aren't we suppose to see things in order to be aware of our surroundings?"

"I didn't mean literally, I was just metaphorically speaking."

" Well I suppose in a way you are being delusional, considering that you're dreaming and this room, this bed is not actually real and you're not really awake.. But I am real."

"I am? Nice. I love lucid dreaming, it's a lot of fun."

" Lauren I came here to speak to you personally. I need you to tell me where you are."

"Let me show you instead." I nod, changing the scenario to the one of New Orleans. Both of us stood outside the compound before I started heading into the courtyard with Castiel.

"Is this the  place you're staying at?"

" Lucifer dumped me here in New Orleans.. But he didn't explain  anything to me, only that angels are after me and I don't know why." I grow quiet and look over at Castiel. "Do you know why are angels out to get me?"

" There's rumors going around. In heaven that regards you and Lucifer." Castiel says. "The prophecy is said that you'll bare Lucifer's child, a Nephilim."

"So the angels want me because they're afraid I might have Satan's baby?" I ask trying to understand what's happening.

Castiel shakes his head as if I misunderstood. " You are pregnant, Lauren. You are carrying of what heaven sees as a disgrace . The angels want you so they could keep you until the Nephilim is born, then they are going to kill him shortly after your death."

I grow quiet, all sorts of emotions start running through my head. Me pregnant?

I'm pregnant and Lucifer didn't tell me. He didn't tell me I was going to bare his child, our child. Normally, the mother is first to know if she's pregnant or not, but in this case, I feel like I'm the last to know.

" What happens if my child is born and lives?"

" Then you'll die during birth and your son would be on the run.. And I suppose you could imagine how he'll grow up to be if Lucifer is the one to raise him."

I bobble my head trying to sink in all the information running through head, then realized that Castiel just described my baby as a 'he' which would mean that I'm going to have a boy. A baby boy.

I start thinking about what Castiel just said, thinking on how Lucifer would raise our child. Lucifer has problems with god. I'd like to think he'd be a great father but, I'm honestly not sure. I mean he could end up using our child  one way or another, use him like a weapon against my brothers and maybe even against the world.  And I won't be able to do anything because I'd be stuck in heaven, probably tortured by angels, and if I end up in hell, then there's going to be a whole lot of drama.

I take a deep breath and look up at Castiel  "After my birth, if I don't make it, which I probably won't, could you promise me that you and my brothers would  take good care of my son and keep him safe? Oh and I'd like you to teach him all there is about being an angel... Be his mentor."

"I will."Castiel nods. " but what about my brother, Lucifer? Regardless of what everyone thinks of him, it seems like you still want him to be in your son's life.. and I know he'll probably stop at nothing to get his son.."

" Let's not talk about him..."I  spoke softly. " Besides, what does it matter? Lucifer is bad news, remember? You just mentioned that it's a bad idea for Lucifer to be apart of my child's life, remember?"

Castiel let's out a sigh. " To be honest, I'm not sure what kind of father he'd be.. And he has some unresolved issues and hates every Homo Sapien in this world."

" And you think he'll try to start another apocalypse, but with the help of our son?"

" One may never know what truly goes on in his head."Castiel pauses. "I was only asking about Lucifer being in your son's life because he's the man you love and your child is his as well."

" Well Lucifer and I aren't talking... and  tell you the truth, I'm not sure if we are still together or not.."

" I'm sorry Lauren..."

" Its fine Cas. I just want the best for my unborn son.. Keep him safe.." I forced a smile as I felt my heart crack in pain at the thought of Lucifer.

" Your eyes.." Castiel softly spoke.

I placed my hands by my eyes and realized I was crying. I stared down at the moisturized area on my fingers. Shortly after without a single word, things angel embraced me into his arms for comfort.

I let out more and more tears, letting all these emotions out. The rage, the sadness , the love I feel for Lucifer. I'm confused for what I feel for him. My feelings are same as they were when we first came face to face to one another.. Love and hatred.

" Alright brother, that's enough hugging." I heard a voice I knew all too well.

Castiel and I looked over to the sound of the familiar voice. " Lucifer." the angel hissed.

"I believe I could take it from here." Lucifer takes a few steps closer.

" Is it really you?"

" Yes it is really him." Castiel stood in front of me, shielding me from Lucifer. " What do you want?"
The fallen angel's lips shifted into a light smile. "Well isn't it obvious? I'm here for my girl."

An angel blade slides down Castiel's sleeve and catches it perfectly in his hand. I never get how Castiel always does that. I mean does he always carry an angel blade up his sleeve? If so, can't he accidentally hurt himself with the pointy end? Or does he magically make an angel blade appear in his hands? How he does it? I may never know.

" Leave Lucifer, you've done enough damage as it is."

" Oh come on don't tell me you don't trust me either, baby brother?"

"I don't." Castiel gets in defensive mode.

" Well then, I'm going to tell you the exact same thing as I told your little boyfriend.. You and I are on the same team. We both want  Lauren  and my unborn child, safe." Lucifer pauses. " If you don't believe me, go ahead and ask Lauren, you know I can't lie brother." He says mockingly.

Castiel and Lucifer shifted their eyes on me. My heart pounded at the archangel's gaze. But before being fully enchanted by him, reality struck and I painfully looked away from him As if I were giving him my answer.

I could feel his heart crumble apart from my decision. I could sense agony in his eyes.

I'm still not completely sure what to think of him, but even as much as I love him, I'm not a hundred percent positive that I could trust him. He didn't explained the fact that angels want me because I'm pregnant. Instead he dumped me here in New Orleans and put my life and my brothers in danger. Hell even I'm not sure what his true intentions are.
I hold back tears and  look up at Lucifer, his expression the same as I sensed., he's hurt. I hurt Lucifer's feelings. What have I done?

Lucifer took a few steps closer to me, Castiel getting defensive as if telling Lucifer to back off. I gently place a hand on my brother's angel and signaled him that its okay.

Castiel hesitated and stepped aside, keeping a close eye on the fallen angel.

Lucifer gently wiped the tears forming on my face, I didn't realize I was started  crying again.

" You trust me, Lauren I know you do, its written all over your face.." The devil gently caresses my cheek, his touch. "I love you Lauren, that's the truth and I know you love me." He presses his lips against mines, sliding them from my cheek to my ear. " I'm coming for you, my sweet, sweet Lauren."
