It had taken a full day to get permission to enter the elders realm. Once there the meeting had gone the way Gabriel had expected it would go. They took Elias because they were unsure if he would be dangerous, being the first of his kind. They faked his death so his human mother could find peace.
Gabriel asked them to return the child since both he and his mother were now Nephilimon. The elders told him they would at some point in the future once his power had been fully assessed. Gabriel asked how long and was told a few years. Gabriel was fighting back the anger he felt with mammoth resolve.
Gabriel asked if he could at least see his son. He was led to a nursery room that had a dozen bassinets but only three children in it. He was shown a child in the front and told that this was his son, and he could clearly see the child was well.
