sometimes i imagine the virgin mary sitting down to tea with gabriel and instead of like a calm anunciation, it's just him trying to explain to her what pregnancy means and who her child is destined to be while intermittently yelling at God on the phone like "you could've told her all this beFORE you got her pregnant, dumbass! yes, she has a fiancee and NO SHE WASNT LYING ABOUT THAT PART AND YES SHE LOVES HIM, OF COURSE IT MATTERS" *pause, as Gabriel narrows his eyes at her* "like, you really love that joseph guy, right?" and when she bewilderedly nods yes, he continues yelling at God on the phone like "GREAT NOW I HAVE TO GIVE HER THE "so you cheated on your husband with God by accident no its not your fault and yes you will have to tell him but its up to you how you tell him that and when except its gonna start being really obvious in 2-3 months" TALK, LIKE DO YOU EVER CONSIDER CONSULTING ANY OF US BEFORE YOU DO THESE THINGS?!" until God hangs up like "just get it done, Gabriel!!!" and Gabriel's like "goodness gracious the retirement fund better be twice the amount of the last guy with adjustments for inflation -"

and mary's just like, what's inflation? and gabriel gives his phone a death glare and has to physically tear his hair out to avoid giving God another call just to be mad at him for IMPREGNATING A GIRL WHO DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT INFLATION IS -

he sighs, trying to calm down, and finally just gives the short version.
