Arrival

"Daddy, daddy! What are you doing?" the young angel asked curiously, hammering on the door.

"Two more minutes, Gabriel! Then you can come in and see him!" called a voice from within.

See him? The fledgling grinned from ear to ear. His daddy was making a new brother! Oh boy! Gabriel sat by the door, drumming against the floor with his small fingers. He smiled at his older brother approaching him.

"LUCIFER! Have you heard?" he cried excitedly.

The older angel crouched down beside his younger brother.

"Yeah Gabe! A new little brother, how about that eh? You won't be the baby anymore!"

Oh...Gabriel pouted.

"I hadn't thought about that..."

Lucifer rolled his eyes and scooped the young angel into his arms.

"You'll always be a baby to me, Gabriel," he chuckled, tickling the fair-haired child's tummy. Gabriel giggled and kicked his legs out.

"Luci! Luci stop!" he gasped.

A piercing cry cut through the jocund atmosphere. Both brothers' heads snapped around to look at the door. Gabriel wriggled free from Lucifer's arms and plopped to the floor, scrambling to his feet.

"Lucifer he-" Gabriel began to squeal with delight.

"Shhhh Gabe, shhh...we must be quiet now..." Lucifer smoothed down the younger angel's golden hair, before stepping forward and knocking on the door.

"Father? May we come in?"

There was a brief silence and then the door opened. The two boys looked up at their father with inquisitive eyes.

"Come in, my children," he beckoned them into the room, leading them to the small wicker cradle.

Lucifer looked down into the cradle, gazing upon his beautiful new baby brother.

"Father," he said softly, "Truly he is exquisite..."

Gabriel struggled to see, jumping up and down a little.

"Luuuucifeeeeer," he whined.

Lucifer lifted Gabriel up to see over the edge of the cradle. His eyes lit up as they met the bright azure of the new baby's. He let out a shallow breath.

"Daddy he's lovely...what's his name?"

The pair of honey-coloured eyes turned to the tallest figure in the room, seeking an answer.

"Well...I was thinking...Castiel...what do you think?"

Gabriel shifted his gaze back to his baby brother, clutching Lucifer's shoulder.

"Castiel," he whispered, "Yes...I like it..."

"I like it too," Lucifer murmured, "Father...is it true...is he chosen?"

There was a heavy exhalation.

"Yes Lucifer...if the prophecy...your prophecy...does come to pass...this baby...this child...will be the saviour of the Righteous Man..."

The three pairs of eyes gazed down at the youngest angel.

"Big plans for you...Castiel..."
