TGG Epilogue~
"Seth, my friend," Gideon chuckled and then had to clear his throat to keep his composure.
It wasn't often that angels were flustered, but Gideon was perilously close to losing it, and getting closer by the second.
Coughing once more, he tried again. "Seth, what in the world are you doing?"
For the past few days, or days in the human sense at any rate, Seth had been...for lack of a better word...on a tear. If he didn't have some inkling of what was bothering his young charge, Gideon might have been tempted to be worried, but seeing as he knew Seth better than anyone, he had a fairly good idea of what was the problem.
"None of these prospects are good enough," Seth told him without even turning in his direction.
"Seth," Gideon admonished though he couldn't help but laugh just a bit, too.
Yep, it was just as he thought.
He wasn't one of the head angels for nothing.
"What?" Seth questioned with a perfectly straight face. "You've seen them! Whoever gets this assignment has to be perfect...nothing else will do!"
"Aren't you being a tad bit...premature" Gideon asked carefully.
Seth having a meltdown was not something he wanted to see...no sir.
When Seth turned and finally looked at him, his ice blue eyes were as troubled as Gideon had ever seen them and considering who his current charge was...that was saying something. A whole lot of something.
Gideon floated to where Seth was furiously going through the list of new angels as he tried to pick out the perfect one. "Seth, come now," he said in a soft but steady tone of voice. The pages of The Book ruffled due the deep sigh that followed. "You've already seen that the twins' birth is completely successful. Isabella has had an easy a time with this pregnancy, as she had with your namesake's. If anything, you should be sharpening your skills...Edward is going to need them before all is said and done. Poor man has worked himself into quite the tizzy over the prospect of having daughters."
This time Seth's ice blue eyes twinkled gleefully. "Isn't that the truth? Twins?" he chuckled loudly. "Serves him right for all the trouble he's caused me."
Gideon could only roll his eyes at that statement. As far as he was concerned, it was a complete toss up as to who drove the other crazier at any given point in time.
