Lily, being the emotional mess she was during pregnancy, was sat on the couch with Alistair snuggled up to her. She was relaxed and content with staying there until there was a knock on the door.

Alex rushed to get it before his mother could get up from the couch. "I got it!" He called through the house and opened the door. He froze and blinked at the girl in front of him.

"Hi.. er.. Is Lucifer here?" She spoke, fidgeting with her sleeves.

The girl stared at the neon light sign. Was it the right place? She furrowed her brows. "The Dark Eden?" It didn't ring a bell.

She hesitantly walked towards the door and peaked inside. She slipped inside and blinked to adjust to the barely lit inside of the building. She looked around and accidentally bumped into a random guy. "Oh I'm so sorry!" She quickly ran off, deeper into whatever this place was. Then she spotted her.

"Miss Lilith!" She called and waved her arms before running to the counter.

Lily blinked at the girl and then realized who she was. "Aiko!" She gasped and quickly ran around the counter to hug her. "Look at you! You've grown so much!"

Aiko giggled and let her wings out. They were smaller than most people's wings, very fluffy, and a soft pink color. Lily gasped and gushed over Aiko's cute little wings. "You really did grow. I remember when they were itty bitty!"

"Uh-huh! But Miss Lilith, daddy said i could visit you on one condition.." Lily raised a brow slightly. "He said you had to keep me away from the creeps here.. I don't know why he thinks there are creeps, they all look nice just... drugged?"

Lily laughed. "Aiko, they're drunk and this is a bar. Obviously there's going to be at least a few creeps." She explained to the girl who's rarely left home to come visit the humans. The girl seemed to understand, mouthing "Ohh."

Mira finally gathered up enough courage to finally tell their families about the pregnancy. She had told Jett to bring his parents to her house while she called her brother.

She held her breath as she waited for Enkai to pick up the phone. It wasn't like she was going to tell him over the phone, but she was still nervous.

Caspian was clueless to what was going on, simply laying on the couch with his head in Lily's lap as they watched some random old cartoon. They seemed so entertained by it, eyes never leaving the TV screen unless someone said their name. Lily subconsciously played with the nymph's hair and muttered a small, "Jett left."

The Dark Eden, a bar that had been open in town for multiple years, had caught the attention of Caspian. He had contacted his friends that they should all go together for a few drinks now that the kids were off at one of Oisin's vacation houses for part of the summer. Sadly, most of them said that they were busy or not feeling well, or pregnant. Luckily, his closest friends didn't like saying no to him.

Caspian pulled up to the bar, looking at the LED sign that spelled out the name of the bar in the purple-ish indigo color as well as regular lily flower design next to it. "Well, this is the place." He said to his friends in the car.

Lilith limped to Niko's front door, slamming her fist against it. She knew she didn't have much time before she passed out from exhaustion, blood loss, and hunger. Once he opened the door, she couldn't help but feel relieved. "I-I didn't know w-where else to go.." Her voice was shaky.

Lilith smiled as Andrew brought over the strawberries that she had asked him to find. It turned out that most of the people in the house liked the berries, so why not get four containers? "Thanks, Drew! You're so helpful."

Andrew smiled widely as his mother ruffled his hair. "You're welcome mama! I like helping you out." He put the strawberries in the cart carefully.
