"Are you ok?" Gabriel asked Snow as they lay together in her bed covered in a big fluffy blanket. Gabriel had pulled her into his side and she was beginning to get drowsy.

"More then ok." she smiled up at him. Gabriel chuckled at her bed hair and kiss plumped lips.

"I love you Snow." he said turning serious which was very unusual for him. But he needed her to know, needed to make sure she wasn't going to disappear into her own head again.

"I love you Gabriel. And I'm sorry it took me so long to figure it out." she leaned up on her elbow to kiss him.

"Time is nothing to an archangel love." he grinned.

"Well its very important to a human." she reminded him laying back down on his chest. She reached up to run her fingers through his hair and Gabriel became even more relaxed.

"How do we tell David?" she asked after a minute when Gabriel started to let his eyes drift shut.

"I…I don't know. Do we tell him?" Gabe asked his eyes popping open.

"Of course. But maybe we can wait a while. He has had a lot to handle lately, what with his wings and all." Snow decided.

"Ok." Gabe agreed.

"But we will tell him. And everyone else that asks." she told him and he chuckled.

"Messenger of God here babe, if you want I can announce it from the mountaintops." he smiled and she laughed.

"Maybe in a few years." she gave him a happy smile before laying her head on his chest. Within minutes Gabriel felt her breathing even out and her body relax against him totally. He let his eyes drift close with a smile on his face and feeling happy for the first time in his life.
