"Well that went better than expected," Andrea eased herself down onto a chair. Her baby bump was now very big and very in the way. Castiel noticed her struggle and tapped her forehead once more returning her stomach to its normal size. She looked first down at her stomach then up at Castiel and sighed.

He took a seat next to her he already made his wings disappear. "Castiel?" Andrea began looking over at the supernatural being beside her. He looked at her and raised his eye brows waiting for her to continue. "What is going to happen when the baby is born?"

Castiel looked at her as if he was deciding on what the best thing to say was. "Whatever you want to happen I guess," Castiel said as if it was that easy.

"Castiel, I want to keep it and raise it but I can't so it without you and Gabriel and this is probably not the best environment to raise a baby that is half angel and human. You can hide your wings but what if it can't and someone sees and something happens. And my parents I don't want to place this burden on them. Not saying this is a burden just that it might be to them."

"Andrea I can easily arrange for you to live in heaven with me," Castiel said as if she knew that fact all along.

"Wait like in Heaven? What would that entail?" Andrea didn't think he was serious. A live human living in heaven? Impossible, right?

"It's probably easier if I show you," Castiel said simply. Andrea gave him a skeptical look and he just held out his hand.

The house was 4 floors of pure beauty. The first floor was made up of a latest kitchen, a fine dining room, a normal dining room, and a sitting room. The second floor had 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The third floor had a large 'play' room. The entire floor was open space ready to decorated. The fourth floor was the basement which was more or less a man cave with a huge plasma screen tv with 6 or 7 recliners forming a semi-circle in front of it. On the other side of the basement was a mini arcade with all the classic games and a pool table. Andrea was stunned by the well off humanity of it. She honestly didn't know what to expect when Castiel said he had a house in heaven but she definitely didn't expect this.

The only flaw about the house was that because it was in heaven Andrea had her baby bump and Castiel's wings were always visible.

"Castiel?" She asked after he gave her the tour. He turned his attention to her, "your house is so human and not at all what I expected." It wasn't a question or accusation just a comment.

"Well yes. I built they house it is made purely of magic but not the kind that shields my wings a strong kind. Gabriel helped me make it he did most of the design. "

Andrea just nodded. She wasn't even going to ask about the magic things like that are too complicated for her and she knows it. Then she thought of something, "Why are there 4 bedrooms?"

Castiel turned to her, "one is mine, one is yours, one is the nursery, and one is Gabriel's"

She smiled slightly she liked the thought of living with Gabriel. It would never be boring and he's proved himself to be a good cook in their time together.

The decision was made and she moved in. Her parents seemed to be in a daze when she asked them permission and said she could as long as she visited them and stayed in touch and things like that. Andrea felt bad about leaving her parents but now she had to make decisions for someone else and she decided this was the best one.

~¥~

The reminder of her pregnancy passed and she had all the usual fatigues other than the time she had the hiccups and burped out blue and auburn colored swirls of smoke. Then she had a dream she was going birth to a bird which wasn't far-fetched seeing as her baby did have wings.

School went by normally she only hung out with Gabriel per usual and her grades never slipped even with the new levels of unnecessary stress she felt.

Everything was fine and relatively normal until she felt a sharp pain one day on Intro to Business. Andrea originally wrote it off seeing as it was small and could have been anything. However, as the class progressed the pain started to get worse and people began to stare at her. She was flushed and panting slightly; finally the teacher looked over at her and asked if she was okay.

Andrea nodded without speaking afraid what might come through her lips if she opened them. She just nodded until another wave of pain hit and she shook her head vehemently.

She raised her hand to ask to go to the nurse but when she opened her mouth she screamed. The teacher walked over to her, "Are you alright!?" He seemed to be at a loss for what to do because he didn't see any visible injury. "What happened?" He lowered his voice now attempting to soothe her.

She just grabbed her stomach and tried to get up. Her pain filled brain still tried to process where Gabriel was. ~Its period 2 so he might have pottery or is it Latin? Maybe US History.~ She finally gave up on trying to think where he was and decided praying for him would be the best bet. "Gabriel, if you can hear me something is wrong! Help!" She knew he would hear him, he always listened to those who prayed to him.

With in seconds he walked through the door. "Hello, Sir" he greeted the teacher and then made his way over to Andrea, she was still in her seat despite her efforts to stand. He kneeled down next to the desk and leaned in moving so he could whisper in her ear, "nothing is wrong with him. He's just ready to meet you."

It took her a few seconds but then the words registered, "it's going to be a girl," was all she could say before Gabriel maneuvered her out of the desk. Everywhere he touched she could feel that familiar calming sensation.

"Sir, I'm going to take her to the nurse," said Gabriel calmly as they walked out of the room. The teacher just nodded dumbly.

Once they were in the hall Gabriel made sure the coast was clear before he transported them both to the lobby of the building Raphael met them. Gabriel picked her up princess style and walked swiftly over to the woman at the desk.

"Is Raphael here?" She nodded and pointed down the hall

"Usual room."

With that Gabriel flew them to room 164 where Raphael was waiting for them. "Put her down on the table." Raphael instructed Gabriel to do several things and finally leaned over and looked Andrea in the eye. "Honey, we are going to do a cesarean section to get the little one at because it is safer than a natural birth. You're going to fall asleep any moment. Do not worry everything is fine."

"Gabriel," called out Andrea, her voice was worn from the days events and her words were barely over a whisper. He moved beside her and took her hand, "don't leave me."

He squeezed her hand gently, "wouldn't dream of it."

Andrea smiled and her eyes fluttered closed, the anesthesia had kicked in and she was now unconscious. Gabriel stayed faithfully by her side as the procedure weathered on, waiting eagerly for the birth of his niece/nephew.
