Aurora is captivated by the colorful mobile dangling from the ceiling above her. She reaches out with both hands, trying to grasp the little moving figures as they spin and twirl in the air. She smiles and gurgles with delight as her small fingers almost manage to get a hold of one.
Blaine watches as he stands at the end of the crib looking down at her. He is entranced by the little being's curiosity and can't help but laugh at her antics. He admires the room filled with stuffed animals, books, and toys. He looks at the few pictures hung around the room of family and friends.
Blaine decides to make the mobile spin faster, causing Aurora to squeal with excitement. He also moved a few of her stuffed animals in a little dance, making her laugh with glee. He wants to make sure she is always safe and happy and make sure she has the best start in her life.
Viviana is walking past Aurora's room as she hears the laughing and playing from it. Curious, she opens the door and walks in. As she walks in, she is struck with a feeling of warmth and joy. She walks over to the crib and looks at her child. She sees her laying on the crib with a huge grin on her face, pointing at something above her. Viviana's heart swells with love as she watches her daughter's antics.
Viviana notices the mobile spinning faster than normal, Aurora giggling as she points at it. A stuffed animal falls to the ground from the shelf it was sitting on. "Oh no, Mr. Bunny fell off, let's help him back up," She says in a playful voice to Aurora. She moves over to the bunny and bends down to pick it up. As she goes to put it back on the shelf, she notices all of the other stuff animals seem to be laying randomly all over the shelf as if they had been moved and just thrown back up not organized. She doesn't put too much thought into it and fixes the stuffed animals back in place. She then walks back over to the crib and reaches in to grab Aurora, "Let's go get something to eat, shall we?" Carrying the baby, she walks out of the room and heads downstairs.

Blaine leaves the house and goes to a park and stands at a rail, his hands on the rail, looking out to the lake enjoying the look of nature. He breathed in deeply, savoring the fresh scent of the trees and grass. He was filled with a sense of peace and joy as he watched the sun glinting off the water and the birds playing in the sky.
He feels an intense connection to the beauty of nature, as if it is a part of himself. He smiles as he watches the trees swaying in the wind and the clouds rolling in the sky. He looks down at his hands on the railing, feeling the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the metal.
He stays at the railing for a while, taking in the beauty of the lake and the surrounding area. He feels a deep sense of contentment and satisfaction as he watches the gentle waves lapping against the shore and the birds chirping in the trees. He thinks about Klein and his plan, about how he kept him from protecting his charge and caused him to be questioned for it. He thinks about what will happen when the plan is carried out, how bad Heaven will be in such disarray as they scramble to figure out what happened. He shakes his head to stop thinking about it. There is nothing he can do without getting himself or worse, getting Amelia in danger.
Thinking about Amelia makes his heart beat faster. He remembers about the talk with Jonas, there is a way for him to share his feelings and be happy with Amelia without anyone else knowing. But what if she doesn't feel the same way? If he tells her how he feels and she says she doesn't understand or doesn't have the same feelings, his heart will feel torn. It would be too awkward being around her after telling her.
Suddenly, as if she knew she was being thought off, Amelia appears behind him and hugs him from behind. Startled, Blaine spins around to see Amelia behind him, a warm smile on her face. He feels his heart skip a beat as their eyes meet. She has a way of looking at him that makes him feel like he is the only one in the world.
Amelia hugs him tightly and whispers into his ear, "I know you feel the same way about me. I know you've been too scared to tell me. But I want you to know that it's ok. You don't need to be scared, I feel the same way too."
Blaine feels a wave of relief wash over him. He smiles and hugs Amelia back, not wanting to let go. "I'm so happy you feel the same way, I know it's wrong and we shouldn't have these feelings, but they are too strong to ignore. I love you Amelia, I have since the moment I started training you," Blaine whispers into her ear.
Amelia smiles, her whole body feels tingly and her heart beats faster. "I love you too Blaine, I didn't understand the feelings I kept having every time I was around you, but now that I've told you I feel happier, I feel better."
They hang around at the park for a while longer talking about each other and their feelings. They also talk about how they will manage their times without letting anyone know about what they share with each other. They talk about what Jonas said, how he too has feelings for someone and shares them with that person. He has done so for thousands of years without being known. If he can do it, so can Blaine and Amelia. They just need to be subtle with each other. To just let each other know they are there for each other. "I See You, Amelia," Blaine says. "I See You, Blaine," Amelia responds.
They spend hours on Earth walking amongst the humans. Just being with each other, occasionally looking at each other's eyes as their way of telling each other how much they love each other. That's all it takes for them to be happy together without having to say it or do anything that anyone can see. They finally decide to head back to heaven and continue their duties as guardian angels.

As they come out of the portal back in heaven, they notice a group of angels and archangels are also arriving from Earth about the same time. Blaine looks at them and looks at the time. This is it, this is the time they were waiting for to carry out their plan. Please Klein don't do it. He thinks as he looks towards the temple of the seven. He continues looking at the angels and the archangels flying towards the temple. Amelia looks at Blaine and sees a worried look on his face. "What is it, Blaine?" She asks.
"Amelia, please go somewhere safe, don't trust anyone," Blaine tells her and takes off. He flies towards the archangels trying to reach them before they get to the temple. He flies as fast as he can towards them, desperate to reach them before they got to the temple. He can see the temple in the distance. He can feel the tension in the air, like the world is holding its breath in anticipation.
He flies faster and faster, pushing his wings to their limit, until finally he gets close enough to shout out to the archangels and angels. He shouts at them to turn back, that something is wrong, but they keep flying.
Then suddenly, there is a blinding flash of light, followed by an ear-shattering explosion. Blaine is thrown back by the force of it, almost losing consciousness as he flies away from the temple. When he opens his eyes, the temple is gone. All that remains is a pile of rubble and a huge plume of smoke rising in the sky.
The archangels are in shock and stare at the ruins of the temple. They turn to Blaine with a mixture of awe and disbelief on their faces. They remember about Blaine being seen flying away from the temple during the time he was missing, and now somehow he manages to warn them to avoid this disaster.
"How did you know? How did you know the temple was going to explode?" One of the archangels asks, his voice filled with awe.
Blaine looks at them for a moment, his mind racing. He knew that they would be suspicious of him for knowing something was about to happen, but he couldn't let them be hurt. Klein said they would do this while they were out, yet they almost got caught up in the explosion if it wasn't for Blaine. Blaine knows he needs to say something, but he can't tell them the truth. If he talks, Amelia will be in danger.
"I... I don't know, I just had a feeling something was off," He responds.
The archangels look at him in disbelief, though grateful for intervening and saving them. "Very well, thank you for the warning, but make sure to be around as we look into this." Says one of the archangels.
Blaine nods and flies away, relieved that, for now, they seem to accept his story. He takes one last look at the ruins before heading back to headquarters and resume his duties.
