Ariel later left the bedroom leaving Grey and his mother alone,

Grey did not bring up the issue again, he knows his mother was in pain, and she has already cried too much already, he just don't want to see her cry anymore.

Grey, Anna called out to her son 

Yes, mom

I know you are angry with me, she said softly and I know you have every right to be, because I'm not given you the answers that you seek

Grey did not interrupt his mother as she speaks, he just listened,  

It's not really easy son, but I promise I will tell you soon,

just give me sometime, she added 

Grey nodded his head in understanding, he now knows that arguing with his mother will not make her give him the answers that he seek,

he just have to wait until his mother is ready to tell him.

So how is things going on with Ariel, Anna asked looking at her son

Grey's smile widen, when he remembered what happened in the bathroom, earlier that day 

From your smile, I will take it that all is going well, Anna said laughing softly 

Yes, it is

Anna nodded her head 

Have you two move further in your relationship, Anna asked 

Grey shook his head at his mother as he chuckled softy

Don't ask me that mom

What! I'm your mother, I'm suppose to know 

No you are not suppose to know that, Grey said laughing

Yes, I'm suppose to know, Anna argued 

Grey shook his head

Well if you must know the answer is "No" Grey said 

Okay, Anna said and remained quiet for a while 

Are you guys planning doing it soon, Anna blurted out 

Mom! 

What, I was just asking, Anna said 

I'm not saying anything, Grey said 

But Grey.....

"No"

Grey stood up from the bed, and kissed his mother's forehead 

I love you son

I love you Mom, Grey said as he left the bedroom and went in search for Ariel 

 

Ariel was seated with her parents in the living room,

Grey looked around but he did not see any other persons

He took a step into the living room and Ariel immediately looked up, after sensing his presence she smiled at him and stood up from where she was seating and sat next to Grey

Grey wasted no time as he wrapped his hand around Ariel 

How did it go with your Mom? Ariel asked softly 

"Good"

I will just give her time to tell me what's going on, he said 

That's good, Ariel said 

Where is everybody? Grey asked 

Uncle Michael and granddad went to stretch their wings and granddad took grandma with him 

Grey nodded his head, and they both remained silent for sometime before Grey spoke 

Do you think I should apologize to your family, Grey asked 

Ariel sat up very well and look at Grey 

"Why"

I think they deserve my apology, for wrongly accusing Angels 

It was not your fault, Ariel said 

I know, but I just want to, Grey said 

Okay, if it will make you feel better, Ariel said 

"It will" 

 

Grey was about to get Ariel's parent attention when the front door opened and Samael and Maria alongside Michael entered into the house 

They all sat down, after greeting everyone 

Grey was feeling nervous all of a sudden, but Ariel held onto his hand and squeeze it tightly 

Grey cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention

I want to apologize, for wrongly accusing Angels, I should have find out the truth first before I acted the way I did, Grey said and I'm sorry he added 

No need to apologize Grey, Raguel said 

It was not your fault, there was no way you could have know, he added 

Grey noded his head 

And we are not angry with you, whatever you did at the past does not matter anymore,  Elena said as she stood up from her sit head for Grey's and she pulled him into a hug 

This time, Grey did not protest, he just hugged back 

"Thank you" he whispered 

We are "Family" Elena said 

And family means everything to us, Elena added as she kissed his forehead making Grey smile at her.

The entire family had a warm smile on their faces

They all went silent and watched a show on the television,

Anna later joined them at the living room, and Grey smiled when his mother's face was looking bright

The show ended and Ariel went into the kitchen along with her mother and Anna to prepare lunch,

when they were done with it, they served the food and a eat in silence

Grey was very happy that he was lucky to have a family like this,

he never understood the importance of family before, because his brother and his uncle never treat's him right but the people sitting in the dinning table are his "family" 

 

Ariel was washing the dishes when her mother entered the kitchen and stood next to her 

Ariel look away from the dishes and look at her mother who was staring at her with a smile 

What! Ariel asked

You tell me, Elena said 

I don't understand you are the one smiling at me, Ariel pointed at 

Elena chuckled softly

I was at your room earlier this morning, when I knocked there was no response so I entered into your bedroom to check if everything was alright but then......

Stop mom, Ariel said with a smile

Don't complete your statement, she added because she knew where the conversation was leading to,

she could not believe they were careless about the door, 

Well the event of last time took a toll on them, that's why they did not remember to lock the door, 

You heard us right? Ariel asked as she shook her head 

Yes, Elena said 

I can't believe this, it's so embarrassing, Ariel muttered with flushed cheeks 

Elena laughed hard at her daughters embarrassment

I can still remember when your grandma came to our bedroom to call I and your father, 

she heard us making out, and the worst part of it was that everyone in the house knew about it, because your grandma did not even keep it to herself, Elena said laughing 

Really? Ariel said while laughing 

Elena nodded her head still laughing 

Still laughing, Maria walked into the kitchen 

What's going on here, Maria asked seeing the smile on their faces 

"Nothing" Ariel said quickly, she don't want what happened to her mother happened to her 

Why would you say nothing and there is clearly something going on, Maria said 

Well, I was telling .........

Mom! Ariel raised her voice in warning 

What! Elena said acting innocently

As I was saying......

Don't say it mom, Ariel whined

Sorry mom, this is between I and my daughter, Elena said looking at Maria with a smile 

Fine, Maria said as she put her hand in surrender, I will get going now she said making an attempt to move 

Are you sure you guys don't want to share what's making you smiling, She asked trying to persuade them

"Yes" both Elena and Ariel said in unison

Maria laughed, okay I will go now, 

Ariel watched her grandma leave the kitchen , and she turned back to face her mother 

So where were we, Elena asked 

No where, Mom Ariel said drying the last plate before she left the kitchen 

 

Ariel went straight to meet Grey, who pulled her closer to himself

Ariel rested her head on his shoulder as she relaxed fully, Ariel was so comfortable in Grey's arms,

she did not even concentrate on the show going on in the television, instead she concentrated on the warmth of her soulmate 

Few minutes later, Ariel sat up straight

I left my phone upstairs she said 

Should I go get it? Grey asked 

No, I will go get it, Ariel said 

I will be back soon, she added 

Grey nodded his head as he watched Ariel leave 

His eye's connected with his mother who was smiling at him, he smiled back at her before he averted his eye's 

After a minute, Grey suddenly felt strange, he stood up quickly,

and the Angels in the room became very alert because they sense something 

"DEMONS"

Ariel! Grey shouted making everyone stand up before they heard her screaming

Ariel....... He shouted again as he vanished so did the Angels in the room.
