"There isn't any rare about bloating," Ariel looked at the monitor, "However, you're just carrying two cells in there. Twins, I believe. Damien won't be too thrilled at that, but i'm sure he'll love the children nonetheless. I've also heard the news. When Astarte is born, I shall send her to you and Damien."
Ariel knew Naomi didn't know the news yet, but she had a deep connection with Leila and was about to see that her new family wasn't great with idea of leaving.
Gabriel took Leila and Damien aside from Garreth, "I will be bringing our mother."
Leila's jaw dropped as tears welled up in her eyes, "She's...alive? Mother is alive!? How!?"
"I let her have her own life," Damien narrowed his eyes on Gabriel, "Leave her out of this. Hasn't she suffered enough? We can endure, we're stronger than her and-"
"She hasn't forgotten," Gabriel reminded them both, "I will leave here swiftly and meet you all on the surface. Leila, I'm doing this more for you. You know Ellyone still despises you and will only taunt you. You, of all of us siblings, deserve the kindest of treatment during your maternal time. Our mother will be more than happy to help you during your pregnancy."
Damien wasn't keen on the idea of bring Tamera along, but it would be nice to see his human mother again. He turned and went to tell Naomi the news. He found her with Ariel, entering without asking, "Naomi, we're leaving to see your mother and other siblings for your pregnancy. I'm sure being away from them now is probably hard on you, so we're now expected. Gabriel is going off to bring our mother along as well to help with Leila. Ariel... I leave you in charge while I'm away."
"You have my promise that I will run your kingdom your way until you return," Ariel bowed respectively.

Gabriel had already left to the surface, finding and bringing the human woman from her new family willingly. They waited on the surface as the first few emerged. Leila was the one who flew out first, with Garreth trailing behind. The young woman paused, daughter and mother gazing at each other for the first time in almost a century. Leila broke down into tears as she ran and clutched her mother tightly as Tamera smiled softly, patting Leila's back, "My sweet, sweet girl. Congratulations, I hope you will be blessed with such a strong willed daughter."
Neither of them would know the extent of damage Leila would go through with this pregnancy since she was a carrying a full weeping angel within her. The pain now was just bearable, something Leila could handle, but the pain that would later come may be something that will take her life. Leila smiled as she held her mother's hands, "I'm glad you're coming with me for this. No one will care about me and...and i'm so afraid they'll cast my daughter out the same way they did to me so easily."
Tamera hugged Leila tightly again, "Even if they do, your daughter is still someone to be proud of. Just let her be who she wants to be and you'll never be wrong."
Leila smiled, she was so lucky that her human mother accepted her for who she was from the start. She then gestured to Garreth, "This is my mate, Garreth. Garreth, this is my mother Tamera."
She could only imagine how rude Naomi would act around Tamera and was already planning on leaving without them so she wouldn't give her half-sister the chance to be cruel. Leila recalled how Naomi chastised her and Damien for being born from their human mother, so it was only natural for Leila wanting to defend her mother. Tamera seemed pleased as she approached Garreth, "I know my daughter isn't the easiest to get along with sometimes, but if she chose you to be with for all eternity then you must be someone special. I will be proud to call you my son-in-law."
Damien took Naomi's hand and escorted them out where he flew them to the surface. When they reached the earth, he heard a familiar voice he hadn't heard in a century. He turned to see Tamera speaking to Garreth. Though he could feel Naomi not wanting to go near the woman, he kept a hold on her hand as he approached his mother and released Naomi to embrace Tamera. He could tell his mother was taken back with surprise before hugging him in return.
"My boy," Tamera whispered as tears rolled down her eyes, "My Damien. I am glad to have my three children back with me. Is this Naomi? You were such a tiny baby when I last saw you!"
"She's my mate now," Damien smiled as he looked to Naomi, "She's carrying my twins and I know this would be easier for her if she was around Ellyone. That's why I'm bringing you because I know it'll make Leila's pregnancy a lot easier as well."
"Damien has helped change my form, Mother," Leila spoke up, "I'm not just half human and half weeping angel anymore. I'm on of the Fallen. Carrying a weeping angel inside of me is a rare occurrence that has only been led to death for the mothers,who were Fallen, and birthed a weeping angel. I will need your support since...well, you know how the others will act."
"I'm happy to see you again, Naomi. And, Leila, I will make sure nothing will happen to you," Tamera smiled to her daughter then turned to Damien, "Shall we depart then?"
"The portal is ready," Gabriel snapped his fingers and a blackhole-like portal opened, "We just need to step in. I'll go first."

"Michael?" Gabriel's eyes teared up as soon as his gaze fell on the fellow archangel, "I...I thought you would've been locked in Heaven. I'm so glad you're not!"
Gabriel rushed over to Michael and clung to his love tightly. When he had left the last time to help Leila, Gabriel had promised he would return as soon as his sister and Damien had reunited, but things weren't as easy as he had hoped. He felt the eyes of others watching as he held Michael. The last thing he wanted to do was let him go again.
When Leila and Damien stepped through, they smiled happily for their younger brother before helping their mother through the portal. Leila waited for Ellyone or anyone to make a comment about her appearance. Tamera looked around and turned to Damien, "Why didn't you stay up here to begin with? This is much nicer than Hell."
"Mother, i'm the King of Hell and all demons," Damien responded, then smiled, "This is merely temporary and-"
He was interrupted as Leila vomited. Tamera turned to see Leila had puked up black blood before clutching her swollen belly. Sweat beaded off Leila's brow as she young woman fell to her knees. The mother rushed over to her daughter, asking what was wrong and all Leila could respond was, "She's turned to stone..."

"You have some nerve to say I'm the one neglecting her when you threw her in Klaus' hands to get her wings removed! My a** has been chasing her all over because you hid her from me, and she still wants me to chase after her even though I keep running after her even more! So no, you stupid, dim-witted bat, I am not the one neglecting her! And keep your filthy hands off my sister! She's not of your kind anymore!" Damien roared, his temper going to new lengths when he dragged the bed Leila was on, but realized his mother was holding the bed back, "Let go, Mother."
"Damien, I did not raise you to act like this!" Tamera stated then gestured to Leila, who was starting to curl into the fetal position in pain, "Your sister is carrying something her body cannot handle and you brought us all here for this purpose. Now you and I both know I can't help her alone, and Ellyone and I have been through our share of births together to know what to do as a team. So i'm going to have you, Garreth, and..Gabriel? So just you and Garreth, and your son, leave the room so Ellyone and I can figure something out. Now leave!"
Damien was about to argue, but the look in his mother's eye made him leave with the tail between his legs. Tamera then went to Ellyone after dragging their daughter back besides Naomi, "When did Naomi go unconscious? She would be carrying half angel and half demon twins, but it should not be as life threatening. You carried the same type of children and Rein became a full blooded demon. Am I missing something? And what of Leila? We can give her something for the pain, but for the rest of her pregnancy? Ellyone...I'm scared, I don't want to lose our daughters like this. They deserve to know the joy of being a parent like we did."
Gabriel nearly swooned at Michael's touch and pinned him against the wall. He kissed the man deeply, wanting to have him alone for a few days to rekindle the magic they felt when together. They were fated for each other since the beginning of time and God and Jesus brought them together so long ago. When they had first met, they knew they were destined to love each other so strongly. Even after Gabriel's initial death and rebirth, he knew he had only one true love in this world.
Finding a nearby bed, Gabriel left Michael's arms and sat on the bed as he held out a hand to his lover, "There will be only one rule for the next few days: neither of us are allowed to leave this bed alone."

"Mother..." Leila breathed as she ventured in and out of consciousness.
Tamera didn't know who Leila was referring to and went to answer her. Leila glanced passed Tamera right to Ellyone. Tears welled up in Tamera's eyes as she realized that Leila was finally making peace with Ellyone, but on her death bed. Leila then looked to Tamera, her words weak, "If...I don't make it... Go back...go back to your family... No one can care for you here like before..."
They were not words that were meant to hurt anyone, it was an honest truth. Besides her children, Tamera was no longer apart of that family. She then saw a smirk on Leila's face as she added before passing out, "Just..take my kid..too."
She continued to care for Leila, having the woman unconsciously cypher her immortal essence to keep her alive. Tamera looked over to see Naomi was still fighting to stay awake, the girl wasn't even showing yet. Her gaze fell back on Leila, the little fighting girl who was never given a chance before. She would not let her daughter die like this. Tamera kissed Leila's forehead as she whispered, "All of you are still my family."

Her flesh was ripped open, and a shrill cry could be heard. Leila barely registered that Garreth was there. He looked too much like Gabriel that she mistook him for her brother. But, when she saw her mother, tears flowed down her cheeks. Her mother had died, did she die too? Would she never see her daughter? Where would her soul go since she was now one of the Fallen? Garreth was too clumsy to care for a baby, maybe Damien would care for her.
"Leila."
Whatever she felt was wearing off. Leila coughed, feeling as though someone had punched her hard in the gut. She looked side to side to see her daughter in the crib, her mother and mate in a small room with her. Her eyes went to Garreth, "How is Isabel?"
"Isabel?" Tamera questioned, then realized that was her granddaughter's name, "Such a pretty name."
Damien rushed in to see Leila was carted out, but his attention went to Naomi. The babies hadn't even formed yet and she was already trying to give up. Anger pulsed through Damien as his eyes glowed a bright red. She put him up for a fight just to die on the table? He grasped her wrist as he spoke sternly, "You did not try to leave me several times just to give up. I swear upon my very soul I will not allow you to just die when you haven't even been pregnant for a day."
He looked to Ellyone, "If you can keep her alive, i'm going to be speeding up this pregnancy to it's final term. Are you able to do that or will I have to call my ex-mate up here to do the job for you."
