A/N: So, I know what you all are thinking. It's been way too long but let me tell you that I have some pretty good ideas for our number one girl from our number one couple. So for everyone who has been waiting this chapter is for you.

Emma's POV:

I stared at him in shock. I couldn't believe it. How could I not know what he was?! I have a knack for these sort of things. How could I not know??

Alex watched me pace back and forth, "Em, it's not a big deal that you didn't know. It took me a while to figure you out until everything made sense. Most Nephilium can't tell right away, it's nothing to be ashamed of."

I looked at him like he was stupid, "Alex you don't understand! If I can't feel that you were Nephilium all my life what's that say about my powers!? All my life my father told me that perception was my greatest weapon. Being able to feel what other people are. You're my best friend. How could you not tell me?!"

Alex leaned against the barn door, "the same reason you didn't tell me Ace. Look you're lucky your angel father stayed with you and your human mother. Mine knocked my mother up and left her with me. Never once came back to check on us."

I looked at him and rolled my eyes, "who said she was human?" Alex's eyes widened, "she's an angel too?!" I shook my head, "no she's a Nephilium too. She wasn't born a Nephilium. She's a second generation. My father was blessed by the heavens after he took a guardian angel job and fulfilled his contract keeping my mother safe. They fell in love and he could feel what it was like to be human. I'm his only child."

Alex listened to me for a good while talk about my messed up family and we realized we had more in common than we thought. I glanced at him, "Do you ever wonder who he was? Your father?"

He nodded and looked ahead, "All the time. My mother would never tell me who he was. Just that he had this way with words and that he was the most beautiful man he had ever seen. However now I know that he was an angel. My mom doesn't know that he was an angel. At least she never told me."

I frowned slightly, "how did you find out?"

Alex sighed, "I found out when I got into that bad car accident that totaled my cousin's vehicle was totaled. The one that put him in a coma for 6 months? I came out unharmed. And I was in the front passenger seat. I saw what looked like a guardian angel kneeling over myself and another over my cousin. The angel above me told me what I am. He seemed almost judging towards me."

I nodded. It wasn't uncommon from what my dad told me. Angels still didn't like Nephilium. I hugged him, "I missed you Alex."

Alex returned the hug and kissed my head, "I missed you too Ace." He has been calling me that for years after I made the highest score on the most difficult P.E. Obstacle course in our school. I looked up into his eyes and for a moment. It was just him and I. As if all my problems with Lucifer and greater demons weren't happening. He leaned in slowly, his lips slightly parted to meet mine. And I felt myself inching close to meet his lips with my own. I felt his lips against my own. Soft and as light as a feather. I never imagined I would get this far. Especially with him. My best friend.

Alex cupped my cheek kissing me more with an intensity that I would have never expected from him but I met his lips with the same force ready to breathe more of him in. I couldn't believe this was happening.

Alex gently pulled himself back and looked into my eyes with his own, "Wow." Wow was right. "Um we can't tell your dad. He'll kill us." And then we heard it. The cough. I knew that cough like I knew my own name. Busted. I turned and saw my father in the doorway.

My father in his angelic glory, "I think we need to have a talk"

A/N: So I have read all the comments on the last chapter and y'all had some rad ideas!! Which will probably be incorporated somehow someway and I'm giving y'all the credit right now. So if you commented on the last chapter, you will see your idea in the book in some way, shape, or form. But I thought y'all could do with some more of our favorite family. And sorry I left you on a cliff hanger. I love y'all!
