~Melik’s POV~
I fell to the floor in tears once Alastor left, I never know if I’m going to see him again or if I’ll have to raise the child by myself. Thinking of a past time activity I came up with that I haven’t gone back to visit my friends in a while maybe I’ll go back, at the time I thought this was a good idea, so I left a note in case Alastor came back.
When I got to Heavens gates the guards let me in, but I could tell what they were whispering about, it also happened as I walked through the city to my friend’s house. When I got there, I knocked on the door and James answered.
“Huh? Melik! What are you doing here I thought you were in Tokyo?”
“Yeah, well I came to say hi because I was bored soooo…”
“Oh, err…come in, Alex is here too so yeah.”
I went into the living room and Alex was sitting on the couch just staring at me and I know why.
††††
When I was still living in Heaven Alex had a mega crush on me, he confessed but I turned him down and ever since he doesn’t really talk much but whenever someone gets close to me, he becomes very protective.
††††
“So, who knocked you up?” Alex asked bluntly.
“Err…well…I-I don’t know.” This was a terrible lie, but I couldn’t just say a demon I tried to kill on the street.
“Eh…were you drunk again you know you’re a lightweight, oh well, then we just have to go to madam Kruel,” James suggested with a huge cheesy grin on his face.
“Whatever it’s not like I care.”
“Err…okay.” I foolishly let them drag along to madam Kruel's house.
Madam Kruel is sort of like a doctor but in Heaven, the way she does it is, she places her hands on wherever the pain is and heals it but, in my case, she would place her hands on my stomach and see the gender of the baby and what the baby is exactly. When we got there, she made Alex and James wait out in the first room and took me to a different room.
“Before you do anything, I know what the baby is, I just don’t know the gender and I don’t plan on knowing, so if you could not tell anyone that would be great.” I looked at madam Kruel to get her confirmation.
“Sure, kid.” Her stern cold voice pieced my ears. She sat on a chair in front of me and placed her cold hands on my bear stomach for a while.
~Madam Kruel’s POV~
Three kids walked in my shop and a goofy one came up to me and asked for me to check out his friend because apparently, he didn’t know who the father of his kid was. So, I took him into the back room and sat him down.
“Before you do anything, I know what the baby is, I just don’t know the gender and I don’t plan on knowing, so if you could not tell anyone that would be great.” He just looked at me waiting for an answer. I thought it was kind of suspicious but it’s not really my business.
“Sure, thing kid.” Placing my hands on his stomach instantly I knew he was almost due to go into labor but something else concerned me.
When I looked at the child it was clear that this angel was not behaving when he wasn’t in heaven. The child was a succubus {mixed organisms from angels and demons, they seduce humans and make them followers}, which wasn’t going to go down with the Gods to well. Removing my hands, I looked at the kid and he had a bored expression on his face, I got up led the boy back to the first room where his friends were waiting.
“That’s all, nothing unusual,”
“Thank you.” All three replied as if they were in sync.
~Melik’s POV~
Madam Kruel seemed relaxed about all this which was a relief. We all thanked her and left, when outside we were about to cross the road when someone yelled.
“MELIK!!” It was a blood curdling scream coming from towards the Heaven gates.
“Huh?” James and Alex were staring me.
“Is that him?” Alex pointed towards where the scream came from not taking his eyes off me.
“Um…y-yes I think so.” I looked down not knowing what he was going to do.
I looked back up and Alex was already half way down the road with James running after him, I was curious myself to see if it was Alastor or not, so I took off after them but a bit slower because of some excess weight.
††††
When I finally made it to the gates there was a huge crowd and the sound of people fighting. Once I got to the front of the crowd to see what was going on, I collapsed to the ground almost in tears, I saw Alastor struggling to get out of two guards’ grip. Pulling myself together I stood back up and ran out to Alastor, the guards stopped and stared at me as I fell into Alastor’s now freed hands crying. Huddled on the ground Alastor held me in his warm embrace not caring about the dozens of eyes staring. Alex walked out to us and Alastor looked up at him, at that moment Alex punched him in the face.
“How dare you leave Melik to suffer!” I could see Alex about to go on rage when the guards grabbed the defenseless Alastor off the ground and start to drag him away.
“WAIT!” I yelled at the guards to stop them, I got up off the ground and ran after them almost tripping in the process.
I ran after the guards and into the jail house where they threw Alastor into a cell. They didn’t seem to care that I was there in the first place, so I went to Alastor’s cell to talk to him.
“What are you doing here?” I asked him with a stern voice that I had never heard come out of my mouth before and Alastor just stared at me shocked.
“Y-you left so I came after you…”
“But why?”
“I didn’t want you to leave like everyone else in my life has.”
“I’ll be back, just wait a second.” I left to go ask if I could bail him out of jail.
††††
Outside of the station I stopped Alastor from taking another step onto the road.
“Why did you really come here? You know that if a demon comes to Heaven they get arrested and held captive until they perish.” I stared at him waiting for an answer.
“I told you, I didn’t want you to leave so I came after you.”
I walked outside of the gates Alastor following silently after me and we flew back home.

As we were about to enter the apartment block, a sharp pain hit my stomach and I collapsed to the ground.
“W-what’s wrong? Melik?” Alastor crouched down to help me up.
“I-I think I’m going into labor…Ahh!” The pain hit me again and again.
“Okay we have to get you to the hospital right now.” Alastor helped me to sit on the outdoor chairs.
A few minutes after Alastor got off the phone a taxi pulled up outside the apartment block and the taxi man drove off. There were a few times we had to stop because of traffic but we got there in around 15 minutes, as soon as we entered a nurse ran over and helped me to a room to get changed and on to a bed. The doctor soon arrived in his clothes for surgery with a few others and they wheeled me to a different room with lots of machines and lights.
