Rex thanked Angela for all of her help, and when they left the room, Angela looked at Xeik and Mia, telling them they were next.

Xeik walked in, and the first thing thing that Angela commented on, he rolled his eyes. “I would get some sleep, but Mia’s been a little…” He glanced over to her with a loving, tired smile. “Uh…a little more active lately. Though, she has slowed down considerably, thank the Gods…” He turned his attention back to Angela.

“I’ll definitely ask them for help…I wouldn’t dream of going into this without guidance,” Xeik said. At the mention of knowing what the baby was, though, Xeik froze.

“Uh…wait…tell me…” He paused. “No. Don’t tell me.” Xeik closed his eyes. “Yes. No. Uh….y-yes?”

Angela crossed her arms. “I’ll give you until the count of five. And then I’m going to tell you.”

Xeik threw his hands up. “I UHHHH….”

“Five.”

Xeik threw the door open, “LEWIS! WHAT DO I SAY? YES OR NO?”

“Four.”

Lewis walked into the room with a sigh. “What are you yelling about now?”

“Three.”

“WHAT DO I DO!? DO I WANT TO BE SURPRISED!?”

“Two.”

“What the hell is wrong with you, Xeik!?”

“One.”

Xeik threw his hands up again, “AHHH I DUNNO!?” At that, between the exhaustion and the panic, he fell over.

Lewis sighed, putting his head into his hand. “What…just happened?”

Angela looked over at Xeik, “Ahhh, I love giving him a hard time.” She had a checklist she was writing things on. “Father is jittery and full of excitement. Passed out due to… excitement. We should have smelling salts on hand when the baby is born… Xeik might pass out.”

Mia looked over at Xeik and then to Lewis with a grin. She began to write down on her board, “Angela asked if we wanted to know what the baby was. Xeik panicked. Lewis, what would you do if it were Simone?”

Angela came over and put smelling salts under Xeik’s nose, “Wakey wakey my little Divine Mender. Lewis is going to decide for you.”

As Xeik was roused from his panic induced slumber, Lewis crossed his arms and smirked. “Oh, is that all?” the ex-assassin asked. “Of course we’d want to know. It’s a part of the excitement. Something we never really got to experience, really. I mean…the twins were born unexpectedly from magic, so there was no waiting period. But we would definitely want to know.”

Xeik stood up, breathing hard. “Okay…I can handle this…I can-” He took a deep, deep breath. “Okay…Ang, I’m ready. Wait…” He held up his hand. “No….now I’m ready. Okay, go.” He closed his eyes and braced himself, as though we were about to get struck.

Lewis rolled his eyes. “Just…let it rip, Angela…I doubt he’ll ever stop at this point…”

Mia grinned at Lewis’s answer, “Perfect.” She wrote it down and showed it to Xeik. This would be what they would want since Lewis and Simone couldn’t. Mia got up and grabbed Simone bringing her in with all the babies. Handing Lila off to Lewis Mia sat back down. “Okay, now.”

Simone was confused but she looked up at Lewis.

“I think Mia wants you to be here to experience it since you can’t and didn’t with the twins,” Angela smiled a bit and found it sweet.

“Aw… Mia…” Simone smiled at Lewis and then looked down at the twins who were content watching Xeik freak out.

“It’s a boy Xeik. You are having a son,” Angela chuckled a bit.

Mia started to clap, “Just like Xeik!”

“Or… It’s a male Mia,” Angela said.

“Or a perfect mixture of you both!” Simone chuckled.

It was adorable that Mia went and grabbed Simone, and the look on her face brought a smile to Xeik. Moments later, the words “It’s a boy” passed Angela’s lips, and Xeik lit up with a bright smile, despite his exhaustion.

“It is!?” The most amusing part about it all was that, no matter what Angela had said, Xeik’s reaction would have been the same. The excitement of just knowing was in itself a powerful tool, and euphoria that the Divine Mender was feeling right now was practically filling the room.

Lewis smirked, and clapped gently. “Congratulations, Xeik.” He walked up to Xeik, and gave him a clap on the back. :I hope you’re ready. It’ll be a long, difficult road…”

Xeik was still brimming with excitement, “Yeah. But it’ll be worth it!”

Lewis nodded. “We’ll help if we can. Just ask…”

Simone smiled with Lewis and chuckled, “At least he won’t be a little hellion.”

Janus looked up at Simone at the mention and grunted.

“Don’t you grunt at me. You know who I’m talking about,” Simone laughed and looked at Lewis. “They are both guilty.” Lila was hiding her face in Lewis’s chest. “Acting so shy are we now?”

“They are both healthy too. You’ve done so well with them,” Angela praised as she looked over Glyn. “And look how healthy he is! You both are the best parents!”

“You are going to make me blush,” Simone chuckled.

“I’m being serious. You two are some of the best parents I’ve ever met… And just think about it. When we met I wanted to strangle Lewis!”

“I know me too,” Simone chuckled.

Soon Vela popped into the room and it was a bit more crowded. “I want to be involved. WHATCHA DOING IN HERE?!”

Angela sighed a bit and laughed. Vela was growing on her. “You are full of surprises. We just told Xeik that Mia is pregnant with a boy.”

“OH! Congratulations! Everyone is having babies~” Vela cooed.

“I could make a potion for you if you wanted some~” Angela teased.

“WHAT?!” Vela got red and found herself in shock.

Drake walked in behind Vela, apologizing for her rather rude intrusion. It was just something that he just accepted at this point, and usually found himself apologizing to a surprising amount of people because of it.

“Oh, congrats!” Drake said with a smile. “I hear boys are a pain once they hit teens. Rebellious and the like.” He was originally going to turn his attention to vela and drag her out, but it seemed like Angela was fine with her being there, at least for the moment. When Angela threatened to make a potion, though, Drake paled.

“Oh, no thanks…Vela and I aren’t-”

“That cat’s been out of the bag for a very long time, Drake,” Lewis interrupted. “Bets were made and paid out already. Might as well stop hiding it.”

“Fine,” Drake replied with a sigh. “But we’re not ready. I…” He glanced over to Vela. “Don’t…even know if she’ll ever be ready with the way she acts sometimes…”

Vela put her hands on her hips, “Don’t you tell me I’m not ready Mr. Sexy Dragon Boyfriend Man. I’d be one hell of a sexy mother I’ll have you know. I can add it to my repertoire.”

Angela started to laugh, “Sounds like you have some talking to do…” Angela winked at Drake and checked out Vela’s wing. “Looks like it’s healing quite well. You can’t be rough with it still Drake. Not like you are with this one,” Angela gave one of the wings a rough tug.

“OI!” Vela yelled and danced around trying to get away from the goddess.

“Ah ah ah… This is my temple~” Angela chuckled a bit as she pulled Vela back.

“I don’t think I like this game,” Vela yelled as she was prodded by the goddess.

“Oh~ Vela is very fertile too.” Vela froze up at the words that left the goddess’s mouth.

“Keep your nose in your own business!”

“I can’t. I have a reputation to keep,” Angela smirked. “Oh, Lewis come here.” She took his arm and started to undo the cast and free it. “You are good to go. You are all healed up. Just be careful with it okay? At least until you get used to it.”

As Drake and Vela left the room talking about babies, Lewis was finally next. As the cast was removed, Lewis let out a breath of relief, smirking. “Glad to have this back. Now I can get back to work.” He paused. “Well…at least what constitutes work now. I’m glad to be able to hold the kids with both arms at least…” There were other things that crossed his mind, but he kept that part to himself and Simone.

“Who’s next? I’ll call them out for you, Angela,” Lewis said as he tested out his arm. “Please don’t tell me Ezili is pregnant. I might die…”

Angela smirked a bit, “Ezili isn’t pregnant yet but if she keeps going at the rate she is–”

Simone held up her hand, “You are going to give Lewis a panic attack and it’s already started.”

You couldn’t tell from looking at Lewis but Simone could. “I was just playing~”

“This man doesn’t play when it comes to his princesses… He doesn't want any of them getting boyfriends…” Simone smirked a bit. “Even Alshaya.”

Angela thought about it, “Rhenakos and Osiria.”

She waited before they wandered in with Izzy and Reva. “Well don’t you look adorable Reva… and you look like my sister with that pose Izzy.” Finally, she looked up at Rhenakos and Osiria. “How’s the married life?”
