Taking the box from Marshall with confusion written all over his face, Cael carefully read the words on the box. "A pregnancy test?" he asked, eyes going to Marshall's for a moment before going back to the box.

The topic went undiscussed among the angels and there had been no cases of angels reproducing after that.

If they had been wiped out by God before... Cael swallowed, mouth suddenly dry. "Let's go home."
