Chapter 5
~Gabriel~
Gabriel flew in, and almost, almost flew right back out. But he couldn't help stop watching Jesse, her body arching under his brother's, the sound of her screaming his name as her orgasm ripped through her. Fuck, he thought, am I really about to go through with this?
~Jesse~
I was not exactly surprised when I looked up and saw Gabriel, an amused grin on his face. Lucifer propped himself up on one elbow, still inside me, and gave his brother an equally amused look. I wondered for a brief moment when it had become okay in my life to just lay naked on the floor under one archangel while he was chatting in Enochian with another.
~Lucifer~
Yes brother? He asked in Enochian, absentmindedly sliding his hands across Jesse's breast and down her ribs. Lucifer watched Gabriel's eyes follow his hands, then he looked back up. Gabriel sighed. You know why I am here? Lucifer nodded, giving his mate's hip a squeeze that caused her to whimper, and watched Gabriel's eyes widen slightly. He chuckled and fixed his ice blue eyes onto Gabriel. You know Gabriel, I think you still miss how close we once were… Gabriel stiffened slightly. I have a mate now brother, and so do you. I was hoping we could discuss something, perhaps come to an agreement. We both know that Jesse is one of the few angelic mates that can produce children.
Lucifer moved with alacrity, leaving a now clothed Jesse grabbing onto to him for support as she tried to remain standing. She huffed and poked his side, and he cupped her face and kissed her deeply, keeping his eyes fixed on Gabriel the entire time. He saw his brother look away, but Lucifer knew it wasn't out of modesty. He tightened his grip Jesse and smiled at Gabriel. "Brother, I think if you want her help you should ask her yourself."
~Jesse~
I looked quizzically at Gabriel, wondering what an archangel would need my help for. "Gabriel?" He looked away for a moment, and I waited. He raked his hands through his hair. "Jesse, you remember what Balthazar told you? About Nephilim?" I nodded. "Well" he seemed to be struggling to find the right words, "The thing he may not have mentioned is that only certain humans are able to produce angelic offspring. Not many of them have the soul or stamina for it." Oh look, I thought, 2+2=4, and the Archangel Gabriel is asking me to have a baby for him and Sammy. "So, you want me to be a surrogate for you and Sam." My life is weird. Weird weird weird…
"It's a bit more complicated than that" Lu said quietly, looking intensely at Gabriel. "Isn't it brother?" My voice squeaked. "Complicated? Like how complicated?" I tightened my grip on Lu, weird I thought again, just fucking weird…
Gabriel looked a bit, well nervous, he licked his lips and stared at me intensely with those golden eyes. "If you say yes and Lucifer agrees, it means we'd" he paused again, searching for the right words, "We'd sort of all be mated together. Lucifer, you, me, Sammy. You are the only one of us who could give our family children."
"Oh." It was all my brain could come up with. I looked at Gabriel, really looked at him. I found myself wondering what he'd be like, would he be as rough and demanding as his brother? Seeing how tender he was with Sammy I found myself hoping he wasn't. And was I actually considering this as a possibility? I mean yes, I wanted children. But it seemed Lu really could care less either way, and I could see Sammy and Gabriel being very loving fathers. I broke out of my musings and looked up at my mate. He seemed relaxed, almost as if he had been expecting this. He smiled at me, and nodded. It hit me that he wanted me to say yes, but I couldn't help but think there was a lot more going on that I didn't understand. I took a deep breath, and looked at Gabriel, who had the same smile as his brother, because they already knew my answer.
"Yes, Gabriel, my answer is yes."
