Is This the Way it's Gotta Be?

[Ramiel]

(SAYING MY NAME)

Ramiel hadn't been to Earth in months since his brothers had started Falling. It had been too much for the Archangel to bear, and he'd fled back to Heaven to be reassigned. There hadn't been anything he could do as much as he tried to convince them what they were doing was wrong. His brothers had gone too far, and some had taken wives and were now on the way to fatherhood. It was simply impossible. Ramiel hadn't thought angels possible to produce children at all. He'd thought them sterile. It showed how much he'd known.

Today was both a special day and a disastrous day. Heaven was reeling with the news of the Falling Watchers, but it was also the birthday of Chazaqiel's child--was it a boy or girl? Ramiel had only caught wind of it through his time in the Record. He hadn't looked too closely as the notion of it still terrified him. Despite his fears, the Archangel had promised to continue being a big brother to Chazaqiel if he were to Fall. It broke Ramiel's heart that he could not save his little brother, but at least he could remain being there for him.

For the first time in a while the Archangel came out of the Record. He cautiously glanced around the perimeter as he began to walk swiftly as not to run into anyone. Ramiel didn't want anyone to know where he was going. It was none of their business, quite frankly.

"Where are you going, big brother?"

The voice caught Ramiel off guard and he jerked around to see his little brother Gabriel following him. The Archangel hesitated as he regarded Gabriel and mused on what to tell him. He was the more gullible of the brothers, perhaps because he was younger. Ramiel could look into those eyes of his and see the complete trust and innocence in them; a look that Chazaqiel used to have. It made Ramiel nearly cringe.

"Nowhere that concerns you, little brother," Ramiel replied as politely as possible. He smiled at Gabriel, "why don't you go find Lucifer? I'm sure he could teach you some new tricks as per usual."

More tricks to disorganize my library, no doubt. He despaired at the thought, but quickly retreated from his little brother only taking a quick glance back to see if Gabriel was following. He was not. Instead, he merely watched Ramiel go with a curious look on his face. Gabriel hadn't been to Earth as many times or as long as Ramiel had never been; he hoped the little Archangel never did. The way his little brother was wired it made Ramiel fear that he would Fall, too.

---

Ramiel appeared inside of the home that Chazaqiel's child was in. He was unsure whether Chazaqiel was living here with the woman or not. He figured the two could've at least married to make it more proper, but it wasn't "proper" for angels to be having half-blooded children in the first place.

"Chazaqiel? Are you here?"

He inspected the little home. It was quite a poor place; the humans were only just learning the wonders of knowledge that was never supposed to be learned. The Watchers were teaching them. It was another thing helping them Fall. Ramiel shuddered and pushed the thought out of mind. He was here to see his little brother Chazaqiel and his newborn baby. That was all no matter how much Ramiel wished for him to come home.

[Chazaqiel]

Chazaqiel had moved in with his new wife and worked diligently everyday to make their life as good as possible. He taught his wife forbidden knowledge, even though he knew that would only add to his offenses, but he didn't care anymore. His mind was slowly growing more corrupt and his personality was even changing. No more innocent little Chaza. So when he heard Ramiel's voice from the other room he could feel his heart pang.

"Brother?" he says, coming out to greet him, a smile on his face. Not a fake one, like the one he made when they had last met. No, this one was a real genuine smile. His baby was just born, he had a beautiful spouse and he couldn't have been happier, even though his happiness was coming from things that were highly dishonorable for an angel.

"I was beginning to think you had disappeared." Chazaqiel whispers, his voice soft. He put a finger to his lips and motioned to the small room he had just came out of. "Do, keep your voice down, the baby is sleeping." There was a twinkle in his eyes as he said that.

"How are you, Ramiel?" Chaza asks, extending a hand for him to shake. The Watcher leader seemed so...human like. It was quite a sight to see.

When Ramiel saw his brother he wasn't sure what to expect. There was obviously something different about him that put Ramiel on edge. He felt less like an angel--a true angel, that is. He was still obviously an angel. Was this how it felt to feel one of his own slowly become Fallen? Ramiel had never seen a Fallen angel before, and he'd never wanted to. He did his best to put on a big smile and ignore that fact, though on the inside it was killing him. Chaza was changing.

"Brother..." He greeted back with a slight nod of his head. He cocked it to the side, "disappeared? What do you mean? I've been in ho--Heaven." It was hard swallowing that Heaven was no longer their home when they spoke but only his. A lot of things were becoming hard to swallow. "Things are getting heated up there, brother. I fear bad times are coming."

With a pitiful look, the Archangel grew quieter as he was shushed. His violet eyes flicked toward the small room and suddenly he felt nervous. Inside that room was both his nephew/niece and an abomination to ever walk this Earth. Ramiel was curious to see, though unsure how he'd feel about the baby. He returned his attention to Chazaqiel and looked without a clue at the hand he had extended. Ramiel was not well-versed in human communications and he'd never been. "Um...I've been...well...I suppose, and you? I'm more interested in hearing how you've been faring, little brother. Tell me about this...new life...of yours."

If Chazaqiel explained, then just maybe Ramiel could will himself to understand.

[Chazaqiel]

Chazaqiel raised an eyebrow and withdrew his hand, he had completely forgotten that his brother wouldn't know the gesture. He was still residing in Heaven after-all and Chaza's actions were so human. It would have been weird to have thought Ramiel would know to shake his brother's hand. The eighth leader shifted his weight awkwardly from one foot to another.

He had a feeling him and Ramiel would not be getting along as well as they had used to. Chazaqiel rubbed the back of his neck and pulled out one of the wooden chairs he had crafted himself, motioning for his brother to take a seat.

"Well I'm doing just peachy, brother. The new life is quite wonderful, really." Chazaqiel took a seat in one of the other empty chairs and crossed his arms. "I've been helping around here, teaching the humans this and that. They're very quick learners, you know."

He glanced over at the small room for a moment, hearing the sound of his wife's loving voice, singing a lullaby to their son. Chaza grinned and leaned back in his chair, taking in the song before turning back to Ramiel. "You say bad times are coming?" Chazaqiel may have left Heaven, but he was still worried about his brothers and sisters up there.

"Don't tell me there has been more bickering?"

While Ramiel did not understand the handshaking he did understand the gesture to sit. He took a comfortable seat and smiled pleasantly at Chazaqiel. He was truly interested in what his little brother had to say. Ramiel wanted more than anything to understand. He wanted to learn. That was one thing about Ramiel; he always hungered for knowledge.

It troubled him that Chazaqiel was teaching the humans. That was not a part of Father's plan. The Archangel shifted uncomfortably at the news. "Are you sure that's wise, Chazaqiel? What if they're not supposed to know that much? If the human knowledge grew too broad, perhaps it would lead to bad things?" Ramiel was not hounding on him; he was just worried and curious. He had no intentions of starting any debates or fights with his little brother. This was his choice, and Ramiel could not change his mind. It was the judgement of Father that would take care of him, though Ramiel prayed that he took mercy on his siblings.

Ramiel was unsure of how much he should tell Chazaqiel about the problems in Heaven. The Archangel momentarily paused at the voice of a human female--the wife. Ramiel wasn't sure how he felt about her, either. This life did not appeal to him like it did to Chazaqiel. "Well...yes, there's much more bickering." He frowned, "Lucifer and Michael used to love each other so much, but lately they are arguing. I think it's upsetting Gabriel the most, but it's affecting us all. Now, I shouldn't speculate because it causes problems, but I just feel something terrible is about to happen."

Ramiel wanted to change the subject. "Um...if I may...can I meet your child, little brother? He or she is family after all."

[Chazaqiel]

Chazaqiel nodded in response. "It's a he." He grinned."and yes you can meet him, stay right there." The Watcher left the room for a moment, going to get his son. He came back out moments later, carrying him in a bundle of cotton clothes. "Say 'hi' to your Uncle Rammie, Anan." he whispers to the baby, who stared up at him with pale blue eyes.

Chazaqiel carried Anan over to Ramiel, the baby watching the archangel with curiousity. "Here, hold out your arms." Chaza tells his older brother, handing his son over and letting the older watcher hold him. He kept right there though, afraid that Ramiel would drop him.

Dropping his son was not something he was planning on doing anytime soon.

"Looks like your an uncle now, brother."

Chazaqiel wondered why Ramiel was so curious about the boy, perhaps he wanted to see just how much of an abomination he looked like? Maybe he was sent to come see if it looked like the monster the other angels claimed he was? Chaza scowled at his own thoughts. Why would he think such things? This was Ramiel, not Michael or Raphael. No matter what the scenario, Ramiel stuck by him. Why would he even consider his brother to be that way?

The baby had to be the most interesting abomination to the planet that Ramiel had ever seen. He thought the lad was...what was the word...cute? Ramiel stared in awe as Chazaqiel brought the baby over and told him to hold his arms out. The Archangel did as he was told, but was unsure why he was told to do so until Chazaqiel placed the boy in his arms. Immediately he tensed up and began to sputter. "W-w-wait, you're letting me hold him? I don't know how to hold children. What if I drop him?"

Amazingly, it came more naturally than Ramiel had expected. That was the beauty of being an angel, maybe? He was ordered to love humans, and Ramiel did. Though, this child was not completely a human. He was unsure how he felt about the baby. He loved his brother and he loved humans, and this child was both. So, did he love the child, too? It was ...confusing...to say the least, but Ramiel was curious. He stared at the baby as it stared back at him.

"He's..." What was he? Ramiel didn't want to say the wrong thing. He wasn't good with conversations, and certainly not well-versed in compliments for babies. "...cute?"

What would become of this child? Ramiel wasn't sure how Father would take it, but he had nothing wrong with the newborn as of now. It was born through sin, but it was a child. It was pure. Ramiel smiled slightly at the thought of being an uncle. He'd never been one of those before.

[Chazaqiel]

Chazaqiel continued to smile away. "Hear that, Anan, Uncle Rammie thinks your cute." he says to his son in that high pitched squeaky voice humans usually used when talking to babies. It was just something that you did without even noticing it. Just like people do it to cute animals too.

The baby, suddenly began to wail and cry and kick his arms and legs. Chaza lifted him from Ramiel's arms at this, cradling him to soothe him. "I bet your hungry, aren't ya little guy?" The Watcher pressed a kiss to Anan's forehead and bounced him in his arms, Anan slowly stopping his cries and began to giggle.

He took the little baby's arm softly and waved it at Ramiel. "Say "bye bye Uncle Rammie" now, Anan." Chazaqiel grinned and sashayed out of the room, to give his son back to his wife, whom then could feed him. He didn't want his boy to continue to cause a fuss.

When Chazaqiel went back to his wife he had gotten a nice slap across the face. Apparently she wasn't happy about him taking his son out of his room in mid-sleep and then throwing him back at her when he was hungry. Chaza stumbled out of the room, scowling with a red palm print across his cheek.

He cursed under his breath in Enochian and sat back down, rubbing at his burning face. Chazaqiel hadn't retaliated because he swore he would never lay a hand on his wife, even if she was being highly unreasonable and angry. Chaza loved his wife and would take the abuse just to keep her happy. Perhaps he was a glutton for punishment?

"He likes you, Ramiel."

Ramiel was alarmed when the baby began to cry. Immediately he began to panic and look at Chazaqiel helplessly. Ramiel didn't know how to deal with kids, especially babies. He'd never held or interacted with a baby. This was not reassurance that his nephew found him pleasant, and it saddened the Archangel.

"I'm sorry, Chazaqiel, I don't know how..." He began but stopped when Chazaqiel took the child. Ramiel observed him do a strange motion and the baby began to calm. His violet eyes grew a tad wider as he observed in awe. Ramiel had his learning cap on. The next time his nephew cried, he'd be able to do it, too.

The Archangel waited for his little brother to return. He was patiently silent, even over the commotion the human female gave and when his brother returned with a nice bruise. Ramiel couldn't understand how his brother enjoyed that. It was pain and punishment. What he was relieved to hear, though, was that his nephew liked him.

Ramiel smiled with a sense of pride. "I'm glad...Is your face okay?"

[Gabriel]

Gabriel watched as his brother Ramiel left and he was filled with curiosity. Where was he going? What was he doing? Why was it none of his business? Should he tell Mikey and Luci that Ramiel is sneaking around? Why did he look so suspicious? The young archangels head was spinning with questions and he was startled to find someone behind him. It was Raphael and the others. "Huh?" Gabe stared up at them, confused. What did they want?

"We have a task for you, Gabriel."

Now Gabriel found himself toddling around on Earth, eyes lighting up at every little thing from the plants to the birds. Earth was so beautiful and full of life. He loved it! The archangel stopped outside the door of Chazaqiel's home, leaning an ear against it to hear what was going on inside. Oh yes, Ramiel was definitely inside and so was Chaza. Gabe wasn't really friends with Chaza, especially now that he was falling.

"Buuuuther!"

Gabriel flew into the room and pounced on Ramiel, knocking him out of the chair. He grinned widely. "Its time to go, ight now!" Gabe glanced up at Chazaqiel, who was staring at him with an odd look. He could tell by just looking at him that he was exactly as Michael had said. He was definitely fallen, or rather, falling. He hadn't quite done it completely yet, still in the process.

Now, Ramiel was definitely an Archangel. This meant that somehow, and in some way, Ramiel was competent. He was the angel of hope and divine visions, yet, somehow, he hadn't foreseen Gabriel flying into the room and tackling him to the floor. The two went down in a heap as Ramiel's wings burst out and flapped around wildly. He had a large wingspan--around 12 ft to be approximate--and they could cause some damage. Anything on a shelf within that span was surely on the floor now, or off the wall.

"Gabriel!" He squawked and, out of reflex, shoved his little brother off him. Ramiel sat up, panting, and began to wipe at the dirt on his clothes while straightening them. He calmed himself and blinked a few times at the little Archangel. "When did you get here? How did you know I was here?"

His brothers were keeping a closer eye on him than he'd expected. That wasn't good. Was he not trusted? Ramiel had wanted nothing more than to see his brother and nephew; he hadn't any plan to Fall. The Archangel stood and glanced back at Chazaqiel apologetically. He didn't want to go, but if he disobeyed he would get in trouble. Ramiel didn't like trouble.

Then, something strange came over him. Ramiel, angel of hope and divine visions, caught fragments of a vision running across his mind's eye. He saw images of Gabriel--older, and with blood on his hands--and shuddered. He was not sure he wanted to know why he had just seen his brother that way. He liked Gabriel young and innocent, even if he was a tad annoying.

Gabriel looked his brother down, a sparkle in his eyes. "Mikey and Aphy sent me, they ain't happy with you, buther." He moved back a little bit, allowing his brother to stand up and re-adjust himself. He hadn't realized his own strength and was surprised at the reaction of his tackling. It seems he tackled a wee bit too hard.

The younger archangel glanced around at the home, his eyes taking in everything there was to see. From the chairs in the corner to the candles that now laid in ruins on the floor from Ramiel's wing flapping. Gabriel saw something shiny and he stared over at it, even though his words were still directed at his older brother.

"So lessgo, Amiel! You don't wanna make em angie." Gabe finally snatched up the shiny object and stared at it intently. What was it? Why was it so shiny? He turned it in his hand, a look of awe spreading over his face as it glinted in the light.

Chazaqiel, meanwhile, was busy picking up the broken ruins of candles and pottery. He was actually, instead of being angry, was quite amused. Gabriel was up to his old antics again. Chaza wasn't very fond of Gabe but that didn't mean he couldn't find him amusing.

If there was something Gabriel hadn't learned to use yet it was the human mouth. His mispronouncing was nearly enough to make Ramiel cringe. He wondered if he should give his little brother speech lessons. It would be better on the ears of humanity if he could actually speak their language correctly. Gabriel spoke Enochian flawlessly like every other angel.

"I, well..." Ramiel scratched the back of his head. It was time to return and face the wrath of his older brothers. Ramiel should've figured. "It was a pleasure meeting your son, Chazaqiel. I'll...I'll see you later. Come on, Gabriel."

Ramiel truly doubted it. This was probably the last time he would ever see them again. Then there was the vision of his little brother...Ramiel shuddered again. He didn't want to think about it. He grabbed his little brother and began to drag him out the door. It'd been a pleasure to meet Anan. Ramiel decided she'd make sure to send them a gift of some sort. Sometime.

As the two exited the door, Ramiel cast a look down at Gabriel. "Little brother, perhaps the children of the Fallen aren't so bad? The little baby in there was your nephew. He is a kind boy."

"Good bye, big brother." was the last words Chazaqiel said before the two archangels fled from the house, Gabriel practically getting dragged out. He wasn't sure just why his brother was so agitated. Was it the fact that he had pounced on him and ruined his evening, or was it the fact he would have to deal with the older archangels once they got home?

Gabe blinked up at Ramiel, meeting his gaze with a serious, stern one. Was his brother protecting the abominations? The disgraces of Heaven? The younger archangel was in shock and his eyes widened a little with panic. "YES THEY AWH BAD!!" he shouted, startling his own-self at how loud his voice came out.

He looked around, as if Michael were listening in and would smite Ramiel at any second."You can't eveh visit them again, buther!" Gabriel clung to Ramiel's leg. "Neveh eveh, neveh eveh." He frowned. "You'll make Mikey mad, and then you'll fall, and then everyone will keep fighting, and I'll be alone!"

If there was one thing Gabriel hated was his family fighting. No, actually, it was more than a hate. He despised it. Especially since it happened the most between Lucifer and Michael. Lucifer was his favorite brother and Michael was his oldest brother. Which just meant more heart-break for Gabe.

Honestly, Ramiel hated what he was hearing. Never seeing them again? He wasn't sure he could do that. How would Chazaqiel feel about that? Would he feel betrayed? His heart dropped at the idea of it. The last thing Ramiel wanted was for the two brothers to grow distant. The problem was that it was looking like the most likely case. Unless Ramiel wanted to Fall, which he did not.

Gabriel's begging and clinging nearly broke his heart. He knew the fighting was hard on Gabriel, and that he was the only one there for him to truly come to. The others weren't there for him when Michael and Lucifer fought like Ramiel was. It was, in a way, how the two bonded. Ramiel let out a sigh and patted his little brother's head.

"I'm not going anywhere, Gabriel. I will never Fall and leave you behind," he said gently. Ramiel took Gabriel's hand and began to walk. Where? He wasn't sure. The two of them were going to vanish off back to Heaven in a moment. "Let's go home, Gabriel. We'll hide together in the Record for a while and do something...fun." Like speech therapy for the human tongue. Yeah...Ramiel smiled as they vanished without a sound.
