Toxic - K.B. Torres (chrysanthemum read aloud .TXT) 📗

to you. It's important." Lucifer said.
Anastasia got up and left.
"So..." I said.
"Emmanuel, why do you smell like sex?" Juliet asked.
I tensed.

Anastasia

"Hi baby." Lucifer said.
"What is so important?" I asked.
My head was pounding, and the inside of my legs were soar from Emmanuel.
"I like the second boy better." Lucifer said.
"WHAT?!" I exclaimed.
"I know you just slept with that kid, Emmanuel. You can't deny it since you're showing the signs of pregnancy. I have a feeling the baby daddy is Emmanuel. Though, I can be wrong." Lucifer said.
"Pregnancy?!" I exclaimed.
"It's okay. I may be completely off." Lucifer said.
"I figured if I ever got pregnant without being married first, you'd kill the father." I said.
"Oh, I will if I don't get a grandson. Though, if your mother doesn't get a granddaughter, she'll kill the guy too. I guess it’ll have to depend." Lucifer said, shrugging.
"Kay, I think I should go back before I pass out. I need something to drink." I said, before walking back to Emmanuel, Luke, and Juliet.
Luke was missing.
"What did he want?" Emmanuel asked.
"He thinks you got me pregnant." I whispered in his ear.
Emmanuel tensed up even more.
"What Staz?" Juliet asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"They found out. That damn poem is coming true. Remember, 'In time her little ones will be due.' I should have known it was talking about children." Emmanuel said.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! I MEAN HONESTLY, PLUS I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THAT! YOU CAN'T TURN OUT LIKE ME, STAZ, YOU CAN'T!" Juliet yelled.
I started to sob.
"Oh, Staz, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell." Juliet said.
"You don't understand! My father just made my day horrible. He said-" I started to say.
"Don't. But, what I'm wondering is, the part in that poem, 'the radience surrounds strong, pulls her own blood into bed.' Could it mean me? Blood...Do they mean as in vampires, or family." He looked at me. "Do you have any siblings?" Emmanuel asked.
I shook my head.
"Oh, she's back." Luke growled, walking up.
"Luke, don't. Enough damage has been done." Juliet said.
"Like what? Was she turned down for sex by a couple of mundane boys?" Luke snapped.
I stood up and ran out. Right into my father's arms. I buried my head in his chest and sobbed.
"It's okay." Lucifer said.
"Anastasia." A voice said.
It wasn't Lucifer. It was Luke.
"Get away from me!" I shrieked, ducking out of Lucifer's arms.
Luke grabbed my shoulders.
"Staz." Luke breathed.
"Don't touch me. I hate you, you're evil towards me." I said.
"Staz." Luke said, gripping me tighter.
"You're hurting me." I said.
Luke picked me up and brought me into an alley. He pinned me against the wall.
"I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry for hurting you." Luke apologized.
I felt his hand trace up the inside of my leg. I winced.
"You're still hurting me, and get you're fucking hands away from my crotch." I growled.
"Why should I? You let me-" Luke started to say, but someone tackled him.
Felix.
"Felix?" I asked, stunned.
"Hi babe. I'm keeping you from being raped, as usual." Felix said, before attacking Luke.
"STOP IT! Will I have to do what I did earlier to stop you from fighting Luke?" I exclaimed.
"Go ahead. I'll be amused." Luke said, before punching Felix.
Instead of taking off my shirt, I focused on bringing Lucifer here. He appeared, as if he knew I called for him.
"What?" he asked.
I pointed to Luke and Felix.
"What do you want me to do?" He asked, exasperated.
"The one with black hair tried to rape me, I don't want him to hurt Felix, which is the white-blonde.
"Who you talking to?" Luke asked, as he wrestled with Felix.
"Okay, that crossed the line, Luke." Lucifer growled, before grabbing Luke and disappearing back to hell with Luke.
"Who was that?" Felix asked.
His mouth was bleeding, along with the side of his head.
"That was my dad. My real dad, Lucifer." I said.
"Lucifer?! Lucifer as in hell?" Felix asked.
I went over to Felix, taking off my shirt to wipe off the blood on the side of his head. At this point, I really didn't care who saw my bra and breasts. I'm stressed.
"I never knew that all I had to do to get a girl to take off her shirt was to shed a little blood." Felix stated.
Someone cleared their throat. Emmanuel. I flushed and put my shirt on, not caring that the blood was on the inside of the shirt, sticking to my skin.
"Where's Luke?" Emmanuel asked.
"In hell." I answered.
Emmanuel laughed.
"Finally got what he deserved huh?" Emmanuel said. He noticed Felix. "Felix."
"Emmanuel." Felix replied.
"Are you okay, Staz? You ran out, looking like you might throw up. You hungry?" Emmanuel continued, tossing me something.
"Oh my god, how did you get this?" I asked peering at the package.
It was real human jerky.
"Black market." Emmanuel replied.
"What?" Felix peered at it and scowled.
"Wasn't lying about Lucifer being her father. That's something he ate. It's mentioned in the bible, before they got rid of it." Emmanuel said.
Just to gross them out, I took out a piece and ate it.
"How can you eat that?" Felix asked, paling.
"Tastes like chicken." I said.
"Really?" Emmanuel asked.
"Yep. Try." I said, tossing a piece of human jerky to him.
He ate it. Then, cramps shot up my legs to my stomach. I doubled over, clutching my stomach, hoping for the pain to pass.
"Staz!" Emmanuel exclaimed, in front of me.
"Oh, Zaza. I made it in time. Come with me." I heard my mom say, and the next thing I knew, I was laying on a bed, with my mom doing an ultrasound. Felix and Emmanuel were nowhere to be seen.
"Oh my." Eve said.
"What?" I asked, leaning up to see a picture of a baby. No...two. I couldn't make out any genders.
"Twins?!" I exclaimed.
"One boy, one girl." Eve said.
"Aviance and Azriel." I said.
"What?" Eve asked.
"Aviance and Azriel. The names I want to name them." I said.
"How funny. The original Azrael is nearby. He always wanted an angel to name a kid after him. We just all thought it would be bad luck, since he's the angel of death." Eve said.
"Who's the father?" I asked.
"Well, a little angel of children told me it was the one with icy blue eyes." Eve said.
I wracked my brain to remember which angel it was that was the angel of children.
"Gabriel? He told you?" I asked, hoping Gabriel was the angel of children.
"Yep. I came to you to help you. You were having pregnancy cramps, bad ones too." Eve said, her eyes shining with tears.
"Mom-" I started to say.
"My angel baby, having angel babies of her own. It seems like only minutes ago we were all living in hell with Lucifer." Eve stated.
"Mom, can I go back to Emmanuel, to let him know he is the father?" I asked.
"No," I frowned. "Not until you give your mother a hug." She said.
"Bye mom." I said, hugging her.
"Bye Zaza, and one more thing, pregnancies for immortals go by fast. It'll be a week or two before you go into labor. Maybe even quicker. You won't gain weight either. Also, time goes by fast in Heaven. In heaven, it's been minutes, on Earth, it's been 20 minutes." Eve said.
And with that, I was back with Emmanuel and Felix.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!" Emmanuel exclaimed.
"I'm fine. I just had a visit with Eve. And a little birdie told me more about my...new situation, if you know what I mean." I said.
"Ohh-kay, right. Felix, I need a minute with Anastasia. Personal issue." Emmanuel said.
Felix shrugged and left, having no problem with Emmanuel.
"So, the situation involving what happened in the limo?" Emmanuel asked.
I nodded.
"So..." Emmanuel said, looking uncomfortable.
"I know the gender and the father." I said.
"Really?! That's awesome, tell me!" Emmanuel said, rather excited.
"Let's say that I heard that Eve heard from Gabriel, that it's you. Also, twins. Girl and boy." I said.
"R-really?! That's awesome! Well, not for Luke. Did you...Decide on names yet?" Emmanuel said.
"What are you talking about?" Juliet asked walking up.
"Jules. Hi. Kind of personal right now." Emmanuel said.
Emmanuel seemed happy since he learned he is the father. Like little kid happy. Or guy-version of happy.
"Should I tell her? Since...Well, sooner or later she'll find out." I asked.
Emmanuel nodded.
"What?" Juliet asked.
"Well..Uh.." I trailed off.
"Jules, I got Staz pregnant." Emmanuel said.
"What?" Juliet asked, blanching.
"I'm pregnant." I said.
"Oh. My. God." Juliet exclaimed.
"Do you want to hear more?" I asked.
"Ohmigod yes! I-I never thought...that you and Emmanuel...would...Sorry, babbling. Go on." Juliet said.
"Well, I just had it confirmed with angels Gabriel and Eve. Twins, one being a boy, the other a girl. I thought of names, but they're Emmanuel's kids too. I really liked Aviance and Azriel, Also Persephone, Fable, Cameron, and Austin." I said.
"I like Aaron, Jesse, Amaryllis, and Samuel." Emmanuel said.
Juliet pondered this for a minute.
"Perhaps Aviance Persephone Fable and Azriel Aaron?" Juliet suggested.
"I like it." Emmanuel said.
"Me too." I said.
"Like what?" A voice asked.
Felix.
He stalked up to us with a panther-like grace.
"N-nothing." I stuttered.
"Anastasia is-" Juliet started to say, but I clamped my hand on her mouth.
"Jules, you can't tell everyone

my secret." I said.
Felix narrowed his eyes.
"What secret?" Felix asked, his tone harsh.
"I shouldn't have used the word secret. Issue would have been better." I said.
"Mmmph! Next time you clamp that hand over my mouth, I'll bite it. It tastes like dead mundane and roses." Juliet growled, peeling my hand off her mouth.
"Tell me." Felix said, stepping closer.
Emmanuel growled.
"Mine." Emmanuel hissed, pulling me closer to him.
"Kay then, Mr. Overprotective, I can tell." Felix taunted.
"Babies, that's what you two are. If you won't tell him, I will. Anastasia just found out that she is-" Juliet started to announce, but I lunged for her.
She sidestepped. I rolled into a crouch position just in time to hear Juliet.
"She's pregnant." Juliet announced.
"You weren't supposed to tell." I said, trembling from inpact to the asphault.
I looked up to see Felix's hurt face before he turned into a wolf and ran off.
"That should keep him away for a while." Juliet said.
"Need a hand?" Emmanuel asked, holding out his hand.
"I'm fine not leaving this spot." I replied.
"What about the kids, surely that position isn't good for them." Emmanuel insisted, pulling me up.
"I didn't want to hurt his feelings. I knew he still liked me. Juliet probably hurt him." I said, burying my head in Emmanuel's chest.
"He'll be fine. He's been through worse than that. Though, he never went as far with a girl as he did with you." Juliet said.
"How would you like it if there was a guy you liked, as in really liked and when you found him, you also found out he had gotten a girl pregnant, when it had only been two days since he left?" I asked.
"Did you just imply that Felix is gay?" Juliet asked.
"No, I changed it since you happen to be the opposite gender of Felix." I said, burying myself more in Emmanuel's chest.
"Okay, I can only handle a girl forcing her head against the area of my lungs, which I still use, for so long. Get off." Emmanuel said, peeling me from his chest.
"I'm going after him." I said.
I turned towards where Felix had ran off
