OK, I apologize for the SUPER-ULTRA late post, I have been pre-occupied with life, and not much time online lately because of a ton of slag coming up randomly. But, I finally got this edited and done! There MAY be a second series, a sequel, to this, IF I get enough positive feedback/enough people urging me to continue it. So, as usual, rate, review, comment, PM me with your thoughts. Just, please keep it constructive, don't be an asshole, I cant stress that enough, the difference between constructive criticism and being a prick…..ANYWAYS, Please, enjoy this chapter, tell me your thoughts/feelings. Thank you for sticking with me to the end, and enjoy your day.

Later that night, I have finished the baby's room. Blood red walls, with a baby blue crib, and a faded tan baby blanket with shooting stars on it are in the crib. A mobile above the crib with Kain's clan symbol, Raziel's clan symbol, the Decepticon symbol, and a star shape, are on it. I smile slightly, the work all finished. "Welcome to the baby's room...Lets tuck him in, big bro." I smile and look over to Raziel behind me, the child clinging to him.

Raziel nods as he walks over to the crib and gently lays the infant down, covering him up with the blanket, nice and snug. The child fast asleep already by the time he is put down. He smiles in his sleep, purring slightly. I speak up, my voice low to keep from disturbing the baby.

"Love you, bro...Happy that your an uncle?"

"I am. I never thought I would receive the privilege. But now that I am, I will help in any way I can." Raziel nods slowly, his eyes not leaving the baby, for a few moments, before turning his full attention back to me.

"Janos says hi as well." I say as I walk out to the lab, releasing a soul for him to devour that I had captured earlier. "Please...help me watch over him...Starscream is so busy, he wont have much time, and we need whatever help we can get..." My voice full of concern, and even worry, for the future. I always did have a hidden paranoia concerning my own future, but now with a child, I had to re-think my own life, to make sure I can give my child a good one, or at least try.

Raziel follows me out and devours the soul offered to him. He nods his thanks, his eyes glowing brighter from the soul energy, and he turns to me. "I will have to visit Janos sometime soon. And I am willing to help with any responsibilities that I can. You have my word.."

"Love you too." *I smile and hug him gently, purring. I knew that a promise from Raziel, was as solid as diamond, almost unbreakable, he always did have my full trust, for as long as I can remember. From battles, to promises, I never had one doubt towards him. The next morning, I am feeding little Azreal, a bottle of my own blood, holding him as he feeds, when Kain walks inside, without knocking. But its apparent I dont care if he knocks or not, as random walk-ins at the lab were pretty normal. "Hi, Daddy Kain!"

Kain flashes a small grin as he walks inside, he and I lock eyes for a moment. "Hello, my dear daughter." He notices the infant in my arms, tilting his head slightly. "I did not know you had children…" His voice full of slight worry. He knows that I am still prone to child-like behavior, so its obvious that he is questioning silently to himself if I am capable of raising a child. But, he keeps calm and quiet. Raziel walks in from upstairs and stands next to me, his arm on my shoulder as he and Kain lock eyes as well. "It was recent." Raziel says, also calmly. I was still questioning, in my own mind, how these two are managing to get along, but I don't voice my concern on it.

"Meet Azreal, born late last night, your now a pa-pa!" I smile and stand, finishing feeding him. He belchs loudly and giggles. Reaching out to Kain. Kain reaches out and gently holds Azreal in his arms, chuckling a bit "Seems as though I now have a very good reason to feel old." He says with a smile, fangs showing. This, however, doesn't startle or scare the baby, in any apparent way.

"As if the silver hair wasnt enough of a give-away..." I chuckle slightly. Raziel shakes his head, chuckling a bit as well. "Very true."

Kain shrugs, as he looks down at Azreal. "Well, at least I will be around for all of Azreal's birthdays." He looks back up at Raziel and me, smiling slightly. "Does Janos know of this news?" He asks, lifting an eyebrow of curiosity.

"Not yet, I plan on calling him soon though..." I smile, as the baby grabs a hold of the hilt of Kains Reaver, but because he is just learning his body and his own capabilities, he doesnt know how to let go. Scared, he starts crying, not sure how to let go of something "...Whats wrong with him?..." I look worried, my mother instincts partially kicking in…..partially.

Kain places his much larger claw on Azreal's hand that's gripping the Reavers hilt. Azreal slowly loosens his grip as Kain gently pulls it away, smiling. "Heh, you're not quite ready to be using a sword yet." He walks over to the crib and picks up a small teddy bear, giving it to him, speaking gently and kindly to Azreal. "Let's try something softer."

Azreal smiles, hugging the teddy, his baby fangs starting to grow in already, then and there, he tries to talk*

"P...Pa...Pa-pa.." He smiles and hugs Kain, an adorable child. I smile slightly and pet Azreal's head gently, making him giggle. "Aww...Not even a full day old, and already, he spoke..."

"That is most impressive." Kain looks down at Azreal, smiling. "I believe I'm his favorite." Raziel speaks up, with a rather cold tone, crossing his arms. "I am still in the room, Kain.."

Azreal starts to speak again, smiling. "R...Raz...Razzy!" Hesmiles at Raziel innocently and reachs for Raziel

Raziel picks up the baby, holding him gently to his chest. "Normally I detest that nickname, but for you, I'll allow it.."

Azreal giggles and as Raziel holds him. He smiles evily…and slags himself, I almost fall over laughing. The child was just as evil I was when I was young. Raziel chuckles and strokes the back of his head gently. Kain shakes his head, smiling, speaking up with a chuckle. "Janos is going to love him, I already know."

"Yeah, the kid slags himself and you smile..." I chuckle, as the smell starts to get to them both.

One of Raziel's eyes twitch at the scent. "Oh god..." Kain laughs at Raziels reaction/expression. "Priceless."

I laugh and smile, I take him and change him quickly, handing him to Kain gently. "Did you guys see that look he had on his face?"

"Yes I did notice that, Truly hilarious." Kain smiles and looks down at Azrael He smiles innocently back up at Kain and cuddles into his neck.

"Hand him over, its time to have him meet his pa pa, Janos." I smile slightly, as Kain hands the child back to me. "Yes, let us go visit Janos." Kain says with a somewhat evil smile.

Raziel nods at the idea. "He will be pleased to hear the news, I just know it."

I smile, as we all warp there, with the help of our powers combined, I knock on the big oak door to Janos study/balcony room (I honestly don't know if its oak or not, I always just thought It was.)

Janos opens the doors and smiles us three "Hello!" He quickly sees the child in my arms. "And who is this little one?" He questions with a friendly smile.

"My fledgeling, Azriel." The baby smiles up at Janos and holds his arms up to him to be held, smiling innocently. "We wanted to stop by and let the little guy know one of his pa-pas…Also, I have a question..."

Janos holds Azriel in his arms gently, smiling as he did so. "Well I am glad you stopped by. He is precious." He looks back over to me, curiously. "What is your question?"

"If you sneeze hard enough, do you lose the feathers on your wings?" Azriel giggles slightly, hugging Janos, despite him being a stranger to him, the child is already completely relaxed in his arms.

Janos tilts his head slightly, giving me a look as if I had partial insanity….Which I did have. "That's an odd question. But no, I don't. Though you would think that would happen. Heh." Raziel raises a brow, his voice having slight concern, possibly for my own mental well-being. "Strange question indeed.." Kain chuckles, nodding in agreement.

I blush a bit and smile, Azriel climbs onto Janos's back and cuddles up to his wings, purring cutely. "Aww, he loves you!"

"Aw, he does." He smiles, having it been a long time since he had seen a fledgeling, he was glad to see one now in such a dark and dying world. After about ten minutes, of us just catching up with one another, Azreal speaks up again. He whines a bit, saying the words: 'Hungy' Which can be interpreted as hungry. Kain crosses his arms over his chest, smiling. "Seems as though the fledgeling is hungry.." I frown and look down, clearly unprepared for the situation.

"...I diddnt bring a bottle..."

Azriel looks to Kain and bares his baby fangs. "I think he wants to take a nibble from you, dad.."

Janos gently hands Azriel to Kain, "I don't see why he couldn't." Raziel raises a brow skeptically, unsure. "Is that even a good idea?" He asks as he looks to me, clearly concerned and unsure. I shrug slightly. "Not sure...But its all we have at the moment, go with what ya have, I suppose…" I smile as he crawls into Kain's arms and suddenly bites his arm. His baby fangs just barely strong enough to pierce Kains flesh. Kain Watches him latch onto his arm, not even flinching from the bite. "I guess we'll find out."

Azreal smiles and drinks a few gulps, before letting go, relaxing in Kains arms, and burping loudly. I laugh a bit and smile. I was like that as a baby/kid as well…Still am on occasion.

"Kain is family, so he should be fine with his blood coursing through him, may make him stronger too…..Our main concern though is keeping him safe….We must look over him, watch him, teach and train him for the future….Literate and combat, of course….Who knows…this kid could be our only ticket to a future…..But hey, with you guys I am sure we will prevail…With this child, and everyones help, we will both thrive, and make a better home for ourselves and future generations…Now, only one person stands in our way for the time being…..But never mind him, we must focus on the child for now, and keep him safe, no matter the cost…..No matter what….Who knows, things may get better soon….Thanks to the fledgeling….to our little Azreal…."

THE END…?
