Love of the Damned (Part 5)

Faira: *takes a long drink frm the water fountain at the corridor* Phew, wat a tiring day. The boss is reli demanding on those poses

Thilius: I'll go get Damien frm Tania

Faira: Thanks THili

Leon: *is making his newest design..is wearing a very loose shirt*

Faira: Hey Leon *looks left and right cautiously before approaching, speaks in a low tone* How's the baby doing?

Leon: Getting really fiesty

Faira: I think it's a girl. I feel it in my guts

Boss: How are you two doing today?

Faira: Very good, boss, although I have to say you're being a slave driver today

Boss: Dont' worry. I've ordered pizza today for everyone :)

Thilius: *comes in with Damien* Just as long as one of them is hot and spicy

Boss: You bet :)

Faira: How's Little Eli hanging on?

Leon: HE's doing great :) Getting a crib and all

Thilius: He must be reli excited for the baby girl eh?

Faira: You think it's gonna be a girl too?

Thilius: Call it intuition

Leon: Yea...*To Faira and Thilius, Leon's belly is the size of a basketball*

Faira: I called Little Eli already. From tomorrow onwards you'll be bunking at our plc

Leon: Why?

Thilius: Well for starters, you're due n u need all the help u can get wen the birth begins, and we need to watch ovr u just in case u have it early

Faira: I had mine abt 2 weeks earlier than the due date, so its a touch and go situation, i'm afraid

Leon: Well, that makes sense...

Boss: Pizza's here!! *gets all 8 boxes ready*

Thilius: Alright! Pizza time!

Leon: Alright! *starts eating*

Tania: Woah, Leon. *seeing Leon eating* How is it you can eat so much and stay in shape?

Susan (model): Yeah, I envy you, Leon

Faira &Thilius: *grins knowingly at the reason why*

Leon: WEll, I do work out a lot every day. *pats his stomach, which appears flat to the mortals*

Thilius: *thinks: Riiiight...*

Boss: Well, gotta say, gotta stay fit to look great

Susan: Even Faira and Thilius also eats as much n nvr gets fat. How do you guys do it?

Thilius: Comes with the genes

Faira: *thinks: Actually we can nvr get fat. We're angel n demon after all...*

Leon: *thinks: That's true. Explains why I've eaten 23 bowls of ramen*

*after having pizza for dinner, Faira n Thilius helped Leon packed his necessities to bunk in at their home*

Leon: *Gets the last of his clothes and cds with him*

Eli: You take care now, ok, my lion *kisses his forehead*

Leon: I will *kisses Elijah, leaving him a small box on the counter after he leaves*

Thilius: I'll come pick you wen the birth starts. Don't worry, he's in good hands

Eli: Thanks, guys, more to you, girlfriend

Faira: I'm not a woman, remember? ^_^

Leon: Yea hon

Eli: I'm just so used to calling u. It's a habit. I hope u dun mind

Faira: It's fine. C'mon, let's go

*after everyone left, notices the small box n opens it; it's a golden ring with a blue sapphire in it*

Eli: *gasps, takes the ring n puts it on, couldn't help crying tears of joy* Oh, my lion *kisses the ring* I love you so much...

Leon: Hm? *feels something in his pocket and pulls it out*

*everyone reaches the angel-demon couple home*

THilius: Wassat?

Leon: IT's a...*opens the box* OMG

Faira: What? What? *peeks to see*

Thilius: Well I'll be darned

*inside is a ring made of white gold and has a red ruby on top*

Faira: Aww...Isn't that sweet...?

Leon: *puts the ring on his finger* It's beautiful...and he knows I love rubies

Faira: I'm so happy for you guys

Thilius: Ditto here

Leon: Thanks...Ooof. *pulls his shirt up, seeing various thumps*

Faira: Well, first thing's first, I need to help you with energy regulations

Leon: Energy regulations?

Faira: When I was at the later mths of my pregnancy, remember Thili saying something abt me being missing? Well, I ran away bcoz I knw I was getting too dangerous to be ard Thili, bt while I was still having a sane mind, I've tried energy regulations to keep myself at bay. It's almost like what the Chinese would do to regulate chi, only you have to be careful to use only your own energy instead of involving the baby's energy. There are a few times I almost did that and almost cause a miscarriage

Leon: I think I can manage that

Faira: Energy regulations is so that it would try to kill off the destructive energy as much as possible when you give birth. I learnt it myself actually, and if I hadn't did that, I think the building would've already collapsed on us

Leon: Ooh okay. *stomach growls* Aw cmon I just ate

Faira: Being in ur condition, it's almost normal *goes to the kitchen and grabbed a tin of peanut butter cookies* Here, you can finish this. Later we'll do the energy regulation

Leon: Thanks. *starts wolfing down the cookies*

Damien: *crawls to Leon, looking up at him with puppy eyes* Kuki?

Leon: Hey! *picks him up* oof

Damien: Nya~! X3 *kicks his legs in the midair happily*

Leon: Who's been good? ^^ hehe

Damien: Nyu~! X3

Thilius: Bath time, Damien. C'mere to Daddy

Damien: Dada! *wings sprout out n flies to his dad*

*they head off to bathe8

Faira: All done eating? Shall we get started?

Leon: Sure. Let's get unpacked first

Faira: *helps Leon to bring his stuff to the guest room n unpack*

*There are various kinds of clothes...and the CDs...they range from Pink Floyd to Korn*

Faira: You sure have an interesting stash here

Leon: Thanks. I listen to music alot, especially rock

Faira: *chuckles* And I had expected you to be listening to hymns or something all day long, not that I'm saying I am

Leon: Naw, they put me to sleep

Faira: *chuckles* And I had expected you to be listening to hymns or something all day long, not that I'm saying I am

Leon: Naw, they put me to sleep

Faira: :)) I enjoy a hymn or two, but classicals are still my favourite, and a bit of the songs from the 70s n 80s

Leon: Well that's good. :) I love the 70s and 80s. *stomach growls*

Faira: Hungry again?

Leon: I can't help it >.<> Faira: Stop. We have guests, sweetheart :">

Leon: It's okay. I don't mind ^^

*everyone starts eating*

Faira: *not very used to spicy stuff, have to keep a glass of cold water beside

*Leon is wolfing down his food, a normal trait for him*

Thilius: Whoa O_o

Faira: *chuckles at the sight* Faira: Have you guys come up with a name for the baby yet?

Leon: Well, if it's a boy...I wanna name it Vergil. If it's a girl, I wanna name is Trisha

Faira: That sounds reli sweet, but I'm betting my money on Trisha

Thilius: Ditto here

Faira: It's been so long since we had any fellow friends eating with us. And when I said fellow friends I meant of our kind

Leon: Well...yea...*finishes* I don't know much of my real home...*nods to Heaven* What is it like? And what is my dad like?

Faira: I don't see him very often during those days, but he definitely has a reputation of being one of the most powerful and trustworthy archangels among his team. Helped out in a lot of miracles and had been alongside Metatron sometimes to spread the Word of Prophecy to the gifted mortals. He would also occasionally accompany other angels to collect souls bcoz along the way to Heaven, the demons would try to grab them to drag them dwn, so Michael had to fight them off

Leon: Wow. My dad fought for souls?

Faira: Well, that's what I heard anyway. I met him once or twice wen we go greet and welcome new souls, so I guess that part is true. He's what we lower angels like to call The Sword Wielder, coz he's got that reli cool sword with him

Leon: :)

Faira: Heaven's reli beautiful. It's always nice and bright, and the night never gets too dark for us, almost like a sunset light atmosphere. You will hear beautiful singing all day long and you can watch the mortal world below either through the Lake of Worlds or if you just peel the clouds beneath your feet just a little bit. I miss that plc sometimes, but I guess it's impossible to go bk now...

Leon: Just curious...would I be allowed in if I could visit?

Faira: *hesitate for a moment, then shakes his head*

Leon: Damn it :(

Faira: Sorry, but you being half human, you cannot even withstand the world of Heavens. The atmosphere itself is too powerful for you. The human part of you would just collapse

Leon: So Im stuck on earth *shrugs* Oh well, I got elijah, that's all that matters

Faira: True :)

Leon: OOof

Faira: You alright?

Leon: It just kicked a field goal

Damien: Nyu~? *looks curiously at Leon's belly*

Thilius: It might play soccer or football one day

Faira: *giggles* Probably *done eating and starts cleaning up*

Leon: Ooof

Damien: Nyu~ *pats Leon's belly with both his tiny hands*

Leon: Do you feel 'em?

Damien: Nyu~! X3 *nods hard*

Leon: hehe

Faira: Time for your milk, Damien *brings in the baby bottle of milk*

Damien: Nyu~! *flies to him and starts sucking the bottle*

Thilius: *smiles at the sweet sight, he helps Leon to the living room*

Faira: So, Leon, I was wondering. If you're a half-breed, what sort of powers do you have?

Leon: Well, I do have telekinesis. As you saw earlier. I can influence thoughts into others

Faira: Reli? Anything else?

Leon: Hmm...I can create fire and lightning

Faira: I could do that too, although Thili scores better in the fire department. Any combat skills like your father?

Leon: Im a good swordsman and marksman

Faira: Just like Michael. He could even cut off the wings off a fly with his eyes closed :)

Thilius: Definitely

Leon: What else can Angels do?

Faira: It depends on what job the Lord gives us. Some become guardian angels to children, some become the Muses, some become archangels, and some become Creators, like me *sees Damien falling asleep in his arms, the bottle empty* Good to see u have a hearty appetite, my little angel. Time for bed for you, little one

Leon: Archangels, then

Faira: *puts Damien in his crib* Well, for starters, archangels are usually given a special weapon that is suitable and compatible for their nature. If you're into short range attacks or defense, you're usually given a sword, a rod or other heavy duty objects. But if your into long range or offense, you're given weapons like bow and arrow, whip and the like. If you're powers are magical then you're usually given armour to protect urself while u excute ur magical powers

Leon: That's how I was a natural in archery

Faira: I heard Michael is fairly good in marksmanship, but he still rules better with the sword *clapped his hand* Alright, energy regulation time

Leon: *Sighs heavily* Okay. But Im gonna be better this time

Faira: Good, let's try to last a little longer this time, say... 10 minutes?

Leon: Okay :)

Thilius: *goes to watch a film*

*Faira and Thilius gets on with the energy regulation, repeating what they did before*

Faira: Remember. Concentrate, but don't get carried away. Your baby's life is at stake here

Leon: *starts concentrates harder than before*

Faira: *can feel that Leon was going over the limit of concentration* No, Leon, stop, not too much. Just take it easy

Leon: *tries to ease down*

Faira: Good, keep it that way. You have 5 more minutes

Leon: *unknowingly...he starts to levitate everything in the house*

Faira: *shocked* Stop, Leon, stop now!

Leon: *opens his eyes* huh

*everything that levitated starts crashing dwn to the ground, including Damien's crib*

Damien: *shocked awake* WAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~~~~~~~!!!!!! :((

Leon: >< Awww man

Faira: It's OK, it's not entirely your fault. Thili, help me put Damien back to sleep pls

Thilius: Im on it. *goes to calm down Damien*

Faira: *sighs in relief* That was close

Leon: W-what happened

Faira: You're still concentrating too much. You may have averted frm dragging your baby's energy, but you let that amt of excess energy out on other things, thus the stuff levitated. Be thankful you didn't levitate the house. I almost did once

Leon: That's it...I was doing it half way

Faira: Pretty much, so nxt time, try not to overdo it. I knw ur determined and ur serious abt things, bt things must have their limits

Leon: But...I wasn't giving it all. I was doing it half way of my power

Faira: *serious face* Leon.

Leon: Honest!! *isn't lying*

Faira: *still looking serious* No, Leon, don't misunderstand. I knw you are giving it all you got, but you're too determined that you almost harmed your child. That level of levitation is proof that you are exerting too much. I don't care if you used 10% of your power but do you realize the danger you'll put ur baby in if u had used 100%?

Leon: O_o What?! How can...tha...*starts to feel dizzy*

Faira: *quickly catches Leon* You're tired, Leon. This is proof of ur over-exertion. Rest now. *lays Leon in bed, pulls the covers over Leon's body*

Leon: *Sleeps peacefully*

Faira: *sighs, then goes to the baby room* Is Damien OK?

Thilius: Yes, he's asleep again

Faira: Good *kisses Damien's forehead* That was a close one
