Listen to the song as you read to get the full effect and emotion of Angela's feelings during the chapter!

Angela POV

I sit on my bed...well Felix's bed that's now mine I guess.

James

I rub my tummy feeling a kick or two.

How will I do this without you?

Felix and Willow told me the plan. I guess they expected me to have a breakdown because both stared at me waiting. But got no response.

I can't breakdown again, I have to be strong for my baby. I am it's mother and I will be strong.

*Remember Angela doesn't know she is having two babies*

They sat there for hours and hours waiting for a response. I sat on the bed thinking of what I would do. How I would raise my baby, how I would do it without James, where I would run off to.

Yes I can't stay here, Strider will find us here sooner or later. I can't let him have my baby. He won't take my baby.

I let out a deep breath and turn to the window. What if I ran now?

No, no I can't how would I deliver my baby alone?

Maybe I can run off with Seth when he gets here. He could take me to a place to deliver my baby. I don't love Seth, well not in the way I love James. But I need him, even if James was here I would still need him. He is my stable rock that keeps me from falling over. He is my best friend.

"Angela?" I hear a knock at the door.

I look up and see Willow with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.

"James is here sweetheart."

My eyes widen.

"J-James?" I stare in confusion.

"Yes sweetheart" she chokes out a cry.

I stand up, dizzily from not walking for at least a day. I walk out the door and it feels like I'm walking through water. When I make it to the living room it's like all the water is gone and I am a fish struggling to breath.

James sits on the floor, covered in a good amount of blood. He sits on his knees with his bottom on his heels.

Seth....Seth lays on the floor. A cleaned bullet hole in his head. His eyes closed, his face so pale.

I drop to my knees and crawl over to James, as if he is a life support. I stare at Seth and cry. James tries to cover my eyes but it is far too late. He whispers in my ear saying that he's ok and that my father took him and that he is safe.

But if he is safe I am in harms way. I am so selfish. I want him back here with me, I want him to keep me from falling over, I want him to feel how I feel to understand what I'm going through like he always did.

I let out a cry and my ears pop, sound finally is normal and not watery like before.

But the air is so dry and hot now, my throat tightens and cracks like I haven't drank anything for years.

"Angela?" James asks.

I look up at him, tears in both of our eyes.

"I tried to safe him, he risked his life for me and I fucking hate him for that. But I still love him like my brother and I wish he was here instead of me. I'm so sorry Angela."

I move away and stare off into space.

I prepared myself for James not to be back, I know what it is like not to have him with me, I went six months without him. But Seth? I have always had him by my side. I don't know what it's like to lose him. I don't know how to live without him. I pushed him away too much and now he is gone. Why did he risk himself? Why am I so important I practically treated him like shit and now he's gone and I didn't get to say goodbye....

I hold on to James. I don't know what to say. So I don't say anything at all.

My head is all mixed up and probably half the things I think don't make sense or completely hypocritical one way or another.

Seth is gone, James is hear, I'm almost 8 months pregnant...

I have to be strong. I have to be for my baby. It needs a strong mother.

"I-I need something to drink." I cough.

Felix and Willow run to the kitchen to get me something.

"Seth's in heaven Angela." James says.

"No he's a demon, he can't." I let tears fall.

"Your dad.....he took him into heaven I saw him he went all the way to hell to come get his soul. Did you not hear me?" He asks with concern.

Oh yea, my dad took him. Wait what!

"W-What?"

My whole body starts to shake.

Seth's in heaven? That means he's going to be an angel of sorts. Whether healing, guardian, guider, civilian or in parliament, he's going to be alive.....in a sense.

"Seth's going to be an angel." I say.

"He is?"

"Everyone who goes to heaven becomes one."

"I thought souls go there to rest, only some get chosen to become angels?"

"Resting, it like being a civilian in the human world." I say.

"Oh.." James says.

"This is my dad's way of getting me back. He knows I will come to see Seth..." I say.

My father my be God but even he can show trickery at some points, if of course he believes it's for the right thing.

"What do you mean?"

"My father hates you, he will try to show a liking to you to get to me and then to our baby. He won't want you to raise the baby, especially if it becomes an angel he will think you will corrupt it or something." I shake my head in scorn.

I love my father with all my heart, but sometimes he goes to far with his protection.

"Maybe Seth will raise the baby with you after all." James says looking away from me.

And I know by just looking at his face, and hearing his tone of voice, he is up to something that I'm not going to like.
