Finally starting writing again! I'm on chapter 70 now. I know, why are you only reading chapter 39? I like to review and edit until I'm satisfied. You're welcome ;)

The song here is "I Am Only One" by We Are The Fallen

I Am Only One

Gabriel held back the blankets as Keara jumped into bed and curled up with her plush pony, her head resting on her pillow that was as fluffy as a cloud. She smiled up at Gabriel and he sat on the edge of the bed, turned towards her so he could tell her a story.

"Will your story be about angels?" she asked and he grinned. "I never hear stories like that." She added and he was too tempted to let the opportunity pass.

"A long time ago," he said and with a flicker of his hand, the room filled with this sparkling mist that showed images. Keara's little face lit up as the images of clouds with a large gate danced around. Little floating angels with harps appeared and her brown eyes glowed with the reflection of his trickery that would illustrate his story. "My family and I were happy in Heaven. My brother Lucifer was the best. He taught me everything I know." He added and a bright and beautiful angel morphed from the sparkling mist and Keara's face lit up as she awed.

"He's so pretty." She whispered in amazement.

"We were close. Everyone looked up to him and he was pretty. My big brothers fought together in harmony and were great." Gabriel said and the images transformed into Lucifer fighting like a fierce warrior. "Then, one day Lucifer was given a special task from our Father, being the most trusted of us all. He was our Father's favorite needless to say. But, this task eventually changed him." The images changed and Lucifer wasn't so pretty. He lashed out at everyone and Keara's bright smile dimed.

Then, the image of Lucifer was being pushed out of Heaven by other angels, as if a large fight had broken out amongst the angels, and one was sticking out more than the others.

"Our big brother Michael forced him out, questioning his worth, and Lucifer fell from grace. My family was torn and has been dysfunctional ever since." He added and Keara looked sad as Lucifer fell from Heaven and the mist became dark.

Gabriel didn't dare tell her that the task Lucifer had been given was the Mark that eventually corrupted him. The last thing he wanted to do was worry her about Nikolai. The Mark wasn't so bad on a demon, but on an angel… it was catastrophic. He remembered all the fighting that had gone among his brothers and he couldn't take it. He didn't want to see his family fall apart, but it did and he wasn't there. He left his family and now he was the last one.

"Where did he go?" she asked and Gabriel wasn't sure how to answer that question.

Lucifer had demonized Lilith, making her the first demon and gave the Mark to Cain, telling him to create the Knights of Hell. Then, Lucifer was put into the Cage and Sam Winchester many years later released him, having being misled by Ruby into killing Lilith who was the last of the sixty-six seals that concealed Lucifer to his Cage.

Then, Sam got both Lucifer and Michael into the cage and that's a whole new story. His history was the important one here and he wasn't sure what to say to Keara that wouldn't piss off her parents.

Then, Gabriel looked at Keara and smiled.

"What has your parents told you about Hell?" he asked and she bit the corner of her lip as she was thinking. Then she smiled at him, recalling the story.

"Daddy said a fallen angel created Hell and demons, then got stuffed away, leaving him to take the throne." She said and Gabriel grinned, nodding head.

"Yeah, that sounds like something your Dad would say." He replied and then nodded again. "It's true. That's what happened to Lucifer." He added and she seemed a little sad, especially when Gabriel flicked his hand and the sparkling mist disappeared. "By the way, Heaven and angels don't look like that." He concluded and she let out a soft little giggle that revealed she was getting sleepy.

"I liked it anyway." She said and then yawned. "But it's sad that Lucifer ended up being locked away." She added and Gabriel nodded his head. Yes it was sad, but it was better than to leave him roam around. He wasn't the same Lucifer that Gabriel remembered; he had died long ago.

"But things happen for a reason." He replied, pushing his thoughts aside, and she looked at him with those big brown sleepy eyes. He grinned and resisted the urge to pick her up in his arms. "If all of that hadn't happened, there might not have been a Hell or any demons." He concluded and she yawned again and rubbed her eyes.

"And no Mommy and Daddy." She said and closed her eyes as she let herself go limp in her big soft bed.

"Exactly." He said and leaned in, giving her a soft kiss on her forehead. "Sweet dreams, Strawberry." He added and as he looked at her, he couldn't resist the thought that she was simply beautiful. She was so precious and protecting her now seemed more than just a simple desire. It felt so much deeper than that.

Maybe it was the fact that Clara was angry that he didn't do more to protect her when she was a child. She was angry that he had left her with her mother who never loved her. Looking at Keara, it was possible that he felt like he owed Clara.

He stood up slowly and silently as to not wake her and when he opened the door, Clara was just coming back. He stepped into the hallway, leaving the door open for her, knowing she'd want to see her sleeping baby. She stared blankly at him and stood in the doorframe as she checked on Keara. She quietly closed the door and turned to him, only then giving him a slight smile.

"Thank you." She said and he smiled in return.

"It's a pleasure." He replied and placed his hands in his pockets. "She's adorable." He added and Clara beamed like a proud mother.

"She likes you." She said and Gabriel grinned and had a mischievous glistening expression in his eyes.

"I'm very likeable." He said and Clara actually let out a soft laugh.

"Yeah, but she still prefers Nikolai." She said with a dark grin. But then, the mood changed and Gabriel knew she was still slightly worried about Nikolai even if she didn't want it to show.

"How is he?" he asked and she met his eyes, giving a soft smile.

"He's strong and Keara means the world to him. I have no doubt that the two of you are capable of protecting her against a rebellion and an eradication of hybrids." She replied and although she was the powerful Cambion Queen of Hell, Gabriel could see the stress in her eyes. Like any mother, she worried about the safety of her child and, obviously, about Crowley as well.

"You're a lucky girl; the Knight of Hell and the Awesome Archangel both here to help." He said with a grin, hoping to lift her spirits. She let out another soft laugh and walked back to the master bedroom, leaving him to return to his rocking chair.

Best of all, Clara was starting to like him.
