Disclaimer: I own none of the characters of Ed, Edd n Eddy.

Note: I know Edd's middle name really isn't Angel, but it ties in so well with the story so I just want to leave it. And just so you know, before each chapter begins there will be a little memory from either Edd and/or his parents. And if you are wondering what actually happened at Edd's birthday, that will be explained later in the story.

"Francisco I need to talk to you." Lyra said a little grim.

"What is it?" Her husband asked.

"I'm pregnant."

Francisco looked like he was about to choke, "You're what!"

"I'm pregnant." Lyra repeated.

"How long?"

"Four months, I'm not sure yet if it's a boy or a girl."

"Well don't find out." Francisco said simply.

Lyra felt a bit suspicious of his words, "Why not?" She asked.

"Because you're not going to have the baby. How much is an abortion?" He asked.

"We can't!" Lyra shouted, shocked at what her husband had suggested.

"Why not?"

"Because," Lyra explained, "I want to have the baby. I don't care what you say."

"But Lyra, are you sure you can even care for it?"

"Yes, I'm very sure, and don't call my baby 'it' okay? I'm naming my child Angel, boy or girl."

"Angel?" Francisco said, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, it's a sweet name. And I think this one might have 'the gift'." Lyra smiled warmly, rubbing her small round belly.

"What do you mean?" Her husband asked.

"Oh nothing." She said, still smiling.

Francisco rolled his eyes, "Well if you're going to have the kid than don't name it Angel. If it's a girl name it Alayna, and if it's a boy, call it Damion.

"And why are you telling me what to name my kid?" Lyra asked.

"It's my kid too." Francisco defended.

"I told you to stop calling Angel 'it'. And you don't really care about the kid, you want an abortion."

"Fine, fine. Just have the kid, but don't give it a stupid name like Angel."

"Fine." Lyra finally said

Chapter 3: Heavenly Secrets

Right than Edd heard footsteps, Ed and Eddy. He positioned himself next to the door to close it when they arrived. Suddenly, the door burst open and Edd's two friends trailed inside.

"So what's up Double D? Double D?" Eddy asked, coming in.

"Hey Double-" But Ed was interrupted by the slam mining and locking of Edd's door.

The two turned in unison. Edd stood, blocking the locked door, the only exit, unless they wanted to jump out the window.

"What the hec are you doing Double D?" Eddy yelled. "Why'd you-"

"Shut up!" Edd whispered fiercely, putting his hand over Eddy's mouth.

Ed took a hint and whispered, "What do you want Double D?"

Edd slowly lifted his hand from Eddy's mouth, watching to see what he'd do, but Eddy stayed silent.

"Okay," Edd said as he paced in front of his two friends, "I have something to tell you guys. This will probably come as a surprise to you two, but please, stay silent and don't tell anyone. Is that clear?' Edd turned to them both, awaiting an answer.

Ed quickly nodded his head. Eddy opened his mouth to say something, but quickly closed it and nodded to.

"All right." Edd looked them both in the eye before he continued, "I'm not exactly what you think I am."

"What are you talking about? What do you mean-" But Eddy was cut short, Edd had instinctively drew a mysterious sword out of nowhere and held it against Eddy's neck before he could speak anymore

Eddy looked from Edd to the sword, eyes wide. Edd relaxed and put his sword back into oblivion right by his side.

"Sorry. Sorry. I-I-I didn't mean to do that Just please- please don't do that again. I'm a bit anxious. I apologize, I didn't know what I was doing." Edd turned away from Eddy, hands on his forehead and eyes closed.

"D-Double D? A-are you an-an Earth-"

"Angel? An Earth Angel. Yes Ed, I am how did you know?" Edd looked at his yellow-skinned friend with question.

"I read a comic. It was about a Earth Angel. It makes since, 'cept for one thing. Earth Angels aren't s'ppsed to exist. Angels exist, humans exist, but not Earth Angel." Ed shook his head.

"But Ed, I thought you believed in all those supernatural things." Edd said quizzically.

"Uh huh, but Earth Angels aren't real, they can't be."

"Are you sure Ed beac-"

"Can someone plea-"

Edd looked back at Eddy, causing him to shut up.

"Sorry," Eddy whispered, "Can you please tell me what the hec you two are talking about?"

"Yes, yes. Sorry Eddy. Earth Angels they're half angel, half human, that's what I am."

"Prove it." Eddy said.

Edd sighed, hadn't he realized it when he pulled out his sword? He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. He felt Ed and Eddy's staring, as he changed. When done, he opened his eyes. Edd's two friends stood dumbfounded. He stood so gracefully with huge white wings behind him, wearing pure white clothes: a long white vest, white pants that draped over his blank shoes , and lastly a shining silver cross hanging from his neck like new.

Eddy stood, mouth a gape, trying to say something but couldn't form the words. So Ed said it for him, " D-Double D sh-show us your h-halo."

Edd nodded and slowly reached up, putting his hand on his hat. He hesitantly slipped it off. His thick, black hair fell out hitting against his shoulders. It was slick and shiny, raven colored, but on top it stuck out awkwardly, making the hair at the bottom to seem invisible. At the very top, the hair was covered in a bloody red, it seemed as if Edd had spilled blood all over his hair and didn't even bother to wash it. However, Ed and Eddy knew Edd too well to even assume that. They continued to look in till they found what they searched for, on the very top there hovered a dim-lit ring, no a dim-lit halo circling the air above Edd's head.

Edd looked down, embarrassed. He didn't like people looking at his hair, much less staring at it. Of course that's why he wore that hat, to conceal both his biggest secret and that that embarrassed him so.

"Ummm Double D," Eddy asked when he found his voice, "why's your halo so dim? Isn't it supposed to be bright/"

"Well," Edd said slowly, "I told you. I'm not an ordinary angel, I'm an Earth Angel and Earth Angels live in sin like humans coming from the fact that we- I am half human."

"I?" Eddy asked.

"Earth Angels are rare. They're so rare I may be the only one in existence." Edd turned his gaze toward the wall feeling awkward about the subject.

"One more thing Double D," Eddy started, "Why's"

"Why's you're hair red and funny looking?" Ed finished.

Edd's face burned with embarrassment, his gaze dropped to his feet, "Welllll… uh…" Edd stuttered.

"Uh sorry." Ed and Eddy replied in unison.

"It's okay." Edd let his gaze fall ton the side as he spoke. "Do you two remember my birthday the previous year? Do you know why everyone was so upset? Do you remember what my father said?"

Ed and Eddy exchanged glances, than hesitantly nodded. They looked at Edd who just stared back.

"He called you… he called you…" Eddy stammered.

"He called me, my cousin and my father called me," Edd blinked, "they called me… the Damned Child."

"The Damned Child." Ed whispered as if trying the word out on his tongue.

Edd nodded, "Yeah that's what he called me. Do you guys know what damned means?" He didn't wait for an answer. "It means cursed, but it means cursed in the worst possible way. When they say it they don't mean it that harsh, but it still feels that way when they call me it. And I hate it when people call me that." Edd said through clenched teeth. "They all do it. Every single one of them. My cousins started it, Tony started it. They do it all the time, I can't stand it! I can't take it anymore, that's why I did what I did last time.

"Sorry guys, I'm getting off track. There's a reason they call me the Damned Child. Its because I am pretty much cursed. I'm half human, half angel, the only angel that lives in sin. My halo is so dim and my hair, that's really it, it grows in this way. I hate it, it's been like this since I finished the Time of Innocence, that's what my mother calls it. After I turned ten, that's when it happened. And when I was about seven, I was in an accident and some of the blood wouldn't come out. For some reason it soaked the blood up and stayed that color.

"There's something else I need to explain. There's a reason I've told you two all the things I've said. I've been given a mission, it requires that I enter another dimension and destroy a demon that wants to terminate all of humanity. However I am not sure that I can succeed on my own, I require your assistance. Will you?" Edd finally finished, looking back and forth from Ed and Eddy, waiting patiently for their answers.

"Well I guess, I've got nothing better to do." Eddy answered.

"Okay Double D, just let me ask my mom-" Edd started to say but Edd stopped him.

"No! Sorry, I mean no, don't ask your parents, don't tell anyone. Its not like you'll have the ability to anyway because we are leaving immediately."

"Immediately? Now?" Eddy asked shocked. "But we can't leave now, maybe tomorrow, or tonight, just not right now."

"Why not?" Edd asked.

"Because, we need supplies, and money, and a plan, and-"

"I said no Eddy," Edd said forcefully, "I know you want a chance to say good-bye, but we must leave immediately. We have to okay Eddy? I promise you we'll return."

"In how long?'

"Please Eddy," Edd begged, "please stop. Just listen to me, we have to leave and we have to leave now. I'm sorry, I really am, but can't stay too long. Okay?" Edd looked as if he would cry, and truly he came very close to.

"O.K." Eddy sighed.

"Thank you Eddy," Edd said happily, "Now can you two wait here, I'll be right back."

Ed and Eddy watched as Edd ran out the door. Finally they were alone.

"Ed listen, "Eddy started, "something's wrong. Something's very wrong."

"What?" Ed asked with a slight hint of fear in his voice.

"Its Double D, he's got other intentions. He's going to do something else."

"You mean he was lying?"

"No, I mean he's going to do something else too."

"Like what?"

"I don't know, but it's something very important to him. Cuz didn't you see the way he looked when he started begging me to come? He looked like he was going to cry. I don't know what he's gonna do but it's probably something we shouldn't go along with. Do you remember the way he reacted to you saying you were going to ask your mom?"

Ed nodded, "but than why did you say you were going to come?"

"I don't know. I just couldn't say no."

"So does that mean we're going?"

Eddy sighed, "We have no choice."
