Angel babies
Mar. 2nd, 2019 09:02 pmI was thinking about something that has not been (entirely) addressed in canon, and I'm wondering if anyone else has thoughts/ideas.
We know very little about nephilim from canon, despite Jack. They are supposed to become more powerful than the angel that sired them, they need their grace to keep their human and angel sides in balance, the human mother dies bearing them...Not a whole lot else. Which leads me to wonder a number of things:
-Can an angel in a female vessel become pregnant by a male human? If so, would the angel survive childbirth?
-Can two angels in vessels make a baby? If so, would it be a full angel? 3/4s angel? Still half-and-half because they were in vessels?
-Could nephilim help power Heaven, or does that only work with full angels?
-If they can help power Heaven, this really seems like an avenue that Heaven should explore to help with their dwindling numbers. Nephilim were seen as abominations in the past, but I get the sense that they've relaxed their stance on that, given how they came to collect Jack in season 13 (and I don't think were trying to kill him, unless I'm misremembering). And if they can only create a nephilim with a human woman who would die, I can't say I approve of that plan, but I can see how from their perspective, desperate times might call for desperate measures, for the sake of protecting the souls in Heaven.
I may explore these ideas in a Lucifer/Anael AU fic I've been wanting to write, where he actually listens to her and sticks around Heaven trying to fix things for more than five minutes...Would love to hear if anyone else has thoughts about this!
