Darrin quickly caught Angel's lips before she could pull away any further. He gave her a firm kiss and a few smaller kisses after before easing away. He reached up and pushed her hair from her forehead.

"But you know what else?" Darrin asked as he pressed their foreheads and noses together, eyes locking with hers as his facial expression turned into a light smile.

“What?” Angel asked with a childish grin as she looked up into his eyes.

"You won't ever have to worry about those sorts of things again, and I promise our baby won't ever ever EVER have to worry about being hurt or anything. I'll take care of us and maybe someday we can even get out of Fort Morgan and I can leave Luca's gang for good." Darrin smiled, pecking a kiss at Angel's lips. He knew that the latter half o fhis statement was more or less a pipe dream, but he was sincere about the first half. He'd make sure that Angel and their baby would only know love and kindness as far as he could help it.

Angel smiled widely at this thought though she didn’t respond. She knew half of this wasn’t true. She didn’t foresee Darrin leaving the Gang ever, so obviously leaving Fort Morgan was out of the question.

"I know." She nodded.

"I promise things will be good for our family." Darrin assured with a smile as he kissed at her lips once more.

Darrin was laying on his bed with his arms wrapped around Angel as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire played on his little television set in his room. He and Angel had gone upstairs to watch the film since his sisters were watching the television downstairs and he was "feeling gracious" (more like they ran him off with the threats of a broken DVD).

The evening was just like any other evening really. While he and Angel were stowed away upstairs and his sisters were in the living room, Jacob and Hannah had taken up refuge in the kitchen and were currently tag-teaming dinner preparation. Perfectly normal and perfectly peaceful.

So far that is.

"Personally, I was suspicious of Moody the whole time." Darrin chuckled against the back of Angel's neck as he adjusted his hand to rest on her stomach, using his thumb to rub light circles against the fabric of her shirt.

“Well how could you not be?” Angel quizzed with a laugh and an exaggerated hand gesture as though it was obvious. Things had slowed down and Angel was seemingly relaxed at the moment; but it wasn’t bound to last.

Down stairs there was a harsh and stern wrapping at the door.

"Daddy, someone's at the door!" Kaylah called out from her perch on the couch with her sisters. She, Alycia, and Leah giggled and went on chattering about the program they were watching when Jacob exited the kitchen with a kitchen towel. He furrowed his brows and rolled his eyes as he walked passed and dried his hands with the towel.

"And none of you girls could get it. Tsk, shame. Sorry to bother you with having to call out for me." He said with a sarcastic snort and roll of his eyes as he headed over to the door. He slung the towel over his shoulder and went ahead and cracked the door to see who was there.

It was an especially tall woman with very striking and familiar features. She was very tall but not lanky, her eyes were a striking hazel that looked identical to someone else’s and even now the colors were seemingly shifting. She had high cheek bones with thin lips, and a notably flawless and curvaceous face. Her hair was a striking blond color that was so light it seemingly had streaks of off white in it.

It was plain as day that this was a strong and intimidating woman, just by the way she carried herself with her chin up and shoulder leveled and back straight. And her eyes like Angel would be beautiful if she wasn’t using them like daggers to pierce someone’s heart. She looked at Jacob through the cracked door and though one would assume she would shoulder her way in with such a scary demeanor; she stared at him.

“Hello, my name is Whitney Baxter, may I come in please?” She asked in a mellow but firm tone. It didn’t really sound like she was asking.

"Er...it depends. Are we...expecting you?" Jacob asked, confused as he eyed the woman up and down, still peering through the crack in the door of course.

“No; but does it help that I’m Azri-Angel’s mother?” She asked, not changing her stance at all.

Jacob blinked and then felt his eyes widen as he quickly opened up the door and straightened up. He stepped aside and gestured to the interior of the house, shaking his head in embarrassment. Of course, he should have recognized the slight similarities between the woman and Angel, they looked enough alike that anyone else could have made SOME connection.

"Ah, my apologies, come in," he said quickly. "Honey, kids, we have company!"

Darrin sat up some and cocked a brow. To his knowledge no one was coming over for dinner or anything and it wasn't too often that the Remfield family had guests. He reached over Angel and grabbed the DVD player remote from the bedside table beside her half of the bed and clicked pause before sitting up and crawling off the bed.

“I wonder who it is?” Angel asked no one in particular as she climbed off the bed with Darrin and headed for the staircase.

Whitney eyed the place slowly as she stepped in and removed her black pea coat. Under it she was wearing just a snug white t shirt. She looked good for a woman who had twins. She was seemingly toned with big arms as though she’s done a lot of heavy lifting. Everything about her said high class, sophisticated, tactful and clever, as well as brute and strict.

“May I speak with you and your wife, privately with our oldest?” Whitney asked, turning to face Jacob slowly. At least she was polite.

"With our...oldest?" Jacob asked, confused as to why the woman before him insisted on being so formal. With his lips pursed and his brows furrowed once more, he reached up and ran a hand through his hair. "Er...sure." He nodded.

Darrin had taken hold of Angel's hand and was trotting down the stairs with her while Kaylah, Alycia, and Leah all looked over the back of the couch to see the woman. Hannah emerged from the kitchen, wiping her hands off on her worn out jeans before tossing her thick braid of hair back over her shoulder. She approached with a grin.

"Hello." She nodded before looking to Jacob. "Sweets, who is this?"

“I’m Whitney, I’m Angel’s mother.” She said curtly as she nodded to Hannah.

Angel had just reached the bottom of the stairs when she heard that name, that title, the voice and instantly recognizing the woman as though she hadn’t changed a day since Angel was 13. Angel let out a slight gasp as she tumbled back a couple steps.

“Azriel.” Whitney said in an even but somewhat disgusted tone as she turned her head to the root of the gasp. “You haven’t changed much,” she said it almost as though it were meant to be an insult.
