He says I've got to tell you that the Power of the Most High will Come Upon You and the Spirit of the Lord will Overshadow you.
Which means it's going to be God's baby, I think.
Thank goodness! Some action around here at last.

Oh, and Mary? God says it's going to be a boy and you've got to call him Jesus. I think that's all Gabe's message. Sorry he couldn't be here in person, but he said he'd try and make it for the birth.

Anyway, that chocolate that you nicked from my tea trolley wasn't chocolate. Yes it looks like Ferrero Rocher, but it don't taste like Ferrero Rocher... It was a little present Sheep 3 left behind.
