Work Text:
Perhaps Lucifer should have explained that him being a fallen angel meant that the ‘can’t have children in hell’ thing didn’t apply to him. He was more like hell born then Sinner in the case of reproduction but truly he hadn’t thought he would need to considering Alastor didn’t have a womb.
Then again when Alastor revealed he could shift his lower region into both the female and male part at will it may have been a good time to say something. Expecting it to be just a vagina with no womb attached properly wasn’t the smart idea.
So yeah Lucifer had kinda fucked up.
“Y̷͓̜̗̪̊̉͂̕O̵͈͚̫̲̓̕Ṳ̸͆̑̎ ̵̼͖̕Ğ̶̡͉Ó̵̖͈́̒T̷̗̙̽̓ ̴̺͎̗̚M̷͇͌͊̀͝E̷͖͉͋͜ ̴̱̪̫̈́̚P̸̱̬̤͛̾̌̚R̷̼͗̔͝É̴̖͊̎G̵̨̛̝͛́͆N̷̹͓͍̙̋̅Ä̸͍̫́̐̚N̸̹͂̈͌T̶̙̳͓͔͊͛́̕” (You got me pregnant) Alastor screeched as he stood over Lucifer. Alastor’s monsters form was so fucking beautiful- no! Lucifer reprimanded himself. This was no time for admiration.
“Alastor I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry” Lucifer said wincing slightly when Alastor chucked the positive pregnancy test against the wall.
“Y̵̝͘o̸̱͘ű̷̠ ̴̺̾d̶͙̓i̶̫̎ḋ̸̦ň̵̦’̶̧́t̵̪̿ ̸̡͑m̵̗͗e̵͍͌a̵̹̐n̸̖̉ ̶̘̈́í̷͕t̸̮̓?̸͍̏ ̶̖̐O̴͎͊h̴̞͆ ̶̰͠g̵͈̾r̴͔̓e̵̥͐a̵̹̾t̶͔̾ ̴͌ͅṯ̷͊ḧ̵̝́â̷̹t̵̩̐ ̴̹̐f̶̱̀i̵̭̇x̵͉͊ȩ̶͐s̸̡̾ ̴͙̓ę̵̎v̸͕̏e̵̤͋r̶̯̓y̴͕̋t̷̙̀h̴̝̆i̴̺͘ṇ̸̂ḡ̴ͅ ̸͓̅d̸̛̗ö̴́ͅe̵̱͗s̵͉̀n̶͕̎’̶͍́t̴̹̅ ̶̖̅ǐ̸͕t̶͕͑!̸̣̓?” (You didn’t mean it? Oh great, that fixes everything doesn’t it?) Alastor screeched sarcastically.
“Look I can fix this if you want, you won’t even feel-“

Alastor grabbed Lucifer and lifted the angel up to his face where stitches ran across with a glowing green light.
“Okay- okay I won’t do anything” Lucifer said rather confused now “I need you to tell me what you want Alastor. I can’t read minds” Lucifer sighed in relief as Alastor slowly shrank back down.
Alastor placed Lucifer down on the ground before becoming his usual size once more.
“I let my emotions get the better of me” Alastor huffed his smile more like a snarl as he brushed non existent dust off his suit.
“You’re pregnant. I think it’s rather reasonable for you to be upset” Lucifer said. He truly hadn’t meant for this to happen. They hadn’t even had a conversation about having children, again because both parties hadn’t thought it was possible, but still Lucifer didn’t need that conversation to know that in the very least Alastor would be concerned about having a child.
“Yes well, I suppose we shall just have to get used to whatever this brings” Alastor says a hand pressed against his for now flat stomach.
“You- you wanna kept it” Lucifer says his eyes widened.
“Of course! The very idea of not taking advantage of this opportunity is stupidity” Luckily for Lucifer he had gotten rather good at translating Alastor’s emotionally constipated words.
Excitement filled Lucifers whole body like a firework about to go off. He couldn’t help himself as he hugged Alastor with a head splitting smile. Alastor in turn wrapped his arm around Lucifers shoulders.
“I’m still mad at you” He hissed not letting go.
“Of course my love” Lucifer laughed.
-/-/-
“Lucifer” Alastor called out late that very same night.
“Yes my love” Lucifer said looking up from where he had wrapped himself around Alastor.
“How are we to tell Charlie?” Lucifer hadn’t thought of that. It had been a struggle telling Charlie that he and Alastor were even dating and now this? She had been very happy for the two of them but was this too much?
“The rest of the hotel should probably know as well” Lucifer added not knowing how to answer the other question just yet.
“I suppose they must. When hell finds out my reputation is doomed” Alastor growled. He wasn’t an idiot. Hell would find out about this just as they had about he and Lucifer dating in the first place it was only a matter of time.
“I’ll smite anyone who try’s anything” Lucifer hissed his tongue flicking.
“Dear you can’t hurt sinners and I’m perfectly able to defend myself on my own” Alastor rolled his eyes at Lucifers pout.
“Anyway I’ll tell her. You shouldn’t have to worry about anything” Lucifer placed a kiss on Alastor’s head.
“Hmm. If you’ll tackle the hotel it should give me time to visit Rosie tomorrow and inform her of the news” Alastor grinned letting himself cozy up with Lucifer as sleep finally took them both.
Lucifer was severely regretting this decision now. He had called a little group meeting in the staff section of the hotel only to remember how shitty he was at this kind of thing. It had been Alastor’s bluntness that had saved him when telling Charlie about there romantic relationship and now he didn’t have that.
Lucifer took a deep breath and walked into the room.
“Hey dad, why did you call us all here?” Charlie asked looking up as he entered the room.
“Yeah what’s so important?” Angel yawned putting down his phone.
“Well uh-“
Alastor knocked on Rosie’s door before walking in.
“Rosie dear!” He called making his way into the shop.
“Alastor! There’s my sneaky little deal breaker” Rosie grinned grabbing Alastor’s hand and dragging him to a seat.
“Yes yes. Sorry to pop by unannounced” Alastor grinned as two cups appeared on the table. The tea inside the pot was definitely appealing but caffeine wasn’t a smart idea.
“Oh you know you’re always welcome. You came at a wonderful time as well. I have a story I’m sure you’ll be thrilled to hear that involves Susan and a group of teens” Hmm now what was certainly appealing.
“Do go on” Alastor encouraged.
“Well Susan had been her usual exhausting self and decided she wanted to have a go at the teens, you know the ones who made that beautiful spray paint design on the Vee tower” Alastor could recall. If he was not mistaken the teens had spray painted a well done piece of the Vee’s getting absolutely decked.
“Well they were making these cute little name stickers in there own font styles and Susan just had to have a go at them for it. Before I would intervene they had stuck the stickers to her and ran. And the best part! One of the children put a sticking spell to them all so Susan is still sporting the stickers until the spell wears off” The two overlords burst out in laughter.
“Oh- AHHahh Ohah. That is hilarious Rosie” Alastor said his laughter dying down “Truly that woman’s unhappiness knows no bounds”
“It’s her signature at this point” Rosie said sipping at her drink.
“I have some news of my own” Alastor said hands folding in his lap.
“Go on?” Rosie’s head twisted slightly.
“I’m pregnant”
“WHAT!?” Charlie yelled. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Had her father really told them that Alastor was pregnant. A feeling of pure joy enveloped her as she looked back up at her dad. He was obviously nervous having gone on a rather long rant before actually letting out the news and Charlie couldn’t help but run up and hug him tightly.
“I’m going to be a big sister!” She squealed twirling around “Where’s Alastor, I have to congratulate him” Charlie was almost glowing with joy.
“He’s telling a friend of his” Lucifer answered much more confident now he knew his daughter was happy.
“Boss won’t want any big fanfare, it was a good idea to tell us without him here first” Husk sighed uncrossing his arms to grab Niffty and put her back in her seat.
Rosie paused at Alastor’s words. Pregnant? Well considering Charlie exists she wasn’t all that surprised. Rosie took a moment to evaluate Alastor’s face. After owning his soul for so long she knew how to read that smile rather well. It didn’t stop her from losing his soul of course but she had expected that from someone as determined as Alastor.
Hmm, definitely a slight concern about her opinion. Determination as always. Well he was certainly happy about it at least so it made Rosie’s life easier.
“Congratulations my dear” She smiled waving a hand over Alastor’s tea which he hadn’t touched yet. The colour shifted slightly as the tea inside became a Ginger herbal tea instead. Good for pregnancy as long as it’s drunk in moderation.
“Who else knows?”
“Lucifer of course. I believe he is telling the others at the hotel as we speak” Alastor sniffed the tea before taking a sip.
“I’m sure that’s going well. How do you suppose Charlie will react?” Rosie had her suspicions considered how well the girl responded to Alastor and her father becoming an item.
“If she has an issue I doubt I shall be the one dealing with the consequences however I believe the only issue I shall face with her will be calming her enthusiasm” Alastor sighed and despite it all his smile felt much more real.
-/-/-
Alastor felt like shit. Despite many protests from both Lucifer and Charlie he continued his daily tasks about the hotel which hadn’t really helped stop the feeling like shit because Alastor hadn’t eaten yet today. For the last week everything Alastor normally liked made his stomach turn. Even the smell of Rosie’s very thought gift had put him off and his own beloved recipe with and without human meat made bile rise in his throat.
The only thing he had been able to keep down for those last few days was a cup of ginger tea and plain crackers. Alastor was starting to get very tired with these as his only option.
Still he pushed the two Morningstars aside to continue his duties getting up at the ass crack of dawn to start work despite no longer being on breakfast making duties. He had given in on that one because he couldn’t stand the smell of the foods.
His eye twitched as he heard a loud bang of pans come from the kitchen. It was rather evident whose turn it was to cook breakfast this morning. Once more Alastor rolled his eyes and sat in his chair to read before everyone came down to eat.
He would have stayed there if a smell hadn’t caught his nose. It was sweet and instead of the usual nauseous feeling such a sent would normally bring him he felt a mouth watering hunger.
“Traitor” Alastor hissed down at his stomach before standing up and walking into the kitchen. Inside was already a mess, bowls half filled with batter, spoons laying right on the edge of counters and two different plates, one with American style pancakes and the other with waffles.
“Alastor! Are you okay? Is the smell bothering you?” Lucifer winced looking up at Alastor.
“No. It seems our child has inherited your taste in foods unfortunately. I’ll have to teach them all about good food once there competent and corporal” Alastor sighed grabbing one of the disk like pancakes.
Lucifers mouth was open wide with shock as he watched the normally sweet hating Radio demon eat one of his pancakes.
“Have as many as you’d like!” Lucifer said brightly quickly getting back to cooking so as to supply his dearest love with food he desperately needed.
“I can’t believe your spawn likes this over my wonderful cooking” Alastor grumbled behind a half eaten waffle.
“It’s natural for your cravings to be something you wouldn’t normally eat. Plus now I get to spoil you with my cooking” Lucifer grinned dipping once side of a waffle into chocolate and sliding it on a plate to Alastor “Try this”
Alastor looked down at the plate annoyed that the sugar on sugar was appealing.
“I can’t subsist on this unhealthy junk alone” Alastor huffed using a knife to cut away a small chunk of the waffle and placing it in his mouth. The fact it tasted so good pissed him off more.
“That’s true. Won’t give you much nutritional benefit and a sugar crash is definitely not what you need but for now your eating so progress right!” Lucifer smiled walked round the counter to kiss Alastor.
“Your abomination is burning” Alastor laughed once the kiss was over.
“FUCK”

Angel was so fucked. He was supposed to be at set like an hour ago but the hotel staff had been making a nurser in the top floor, which only staff could enter considering it was basically Alastor and Lucifers floor.
He had only realised when he looked down at his phone to see a flood of messages.
Val
Where are you?
Five minutes till filming starts.
If you’re late you WILL be making up for it bitch.
WHY ARE YOU NOT HERE
*voice message*
*voice message*
*voice message*
*voice message*
*voice message*
*Failed call*
PICK UP NOW
*Failed call*
*Failed video call*
THATS IT. IM COMING TO THA FUCKING HOTEL NOW
Angels hand shook as he looked down at all the messages. How could he have gotten so caught up. He looked up and around himself. The room was full, Charlie and Vaggi were trying to put together a crib, Husk was putting up a shelf, Niffty was rushing around the room cleaning up all the dust and Lucifer was with Alastor arranging some books.
Well saying that Alastor wasn’t exactly arranging books right now. No his head was fully twisted around to face Angel.
Alastor got off the floor and walked calmly towards Angel pulling the phone out his hands and pausing as he read the message.
“He does this often” His voice was calm but stiff and caught the attention of everyone else in the room.
“Yes but-“
“Then I better go great him at the door” Alastor said dropping the phone back into Angels lap and walking out.
“Alastor no” Angel said scrabbling after the Radio demon causing everyone else to follow.
Unfortunately Alastor was rather fast and by the time they caught up to him they were already outside where Val was approaching.
“Hmm. Of course you had something to do with this” Val grumbled from where he stood about three arms length away from Alastor “I’m just here to collect my whore”
“You will do no such thing” Alastor hissed his eyes narrowing.
“What the hell is this about?” Lucifer said moving to stand beside Alastor.
“Nothing that involves you” Val said before moving his gaze back to Alastor “You know his soul is mine. You have no right to keep him here if I want him” Charlie was about to pipe up when Alastor hushed her.
“Then how about this” Alastor’s body shifted growing in size with snapping sounds
“Y̶̢͉̣̖̳̹͑̽ơ̴̢̜̻̽͗̅̈̕ǔ̶͎͛̈́ ̴̖͈͌̃̈́̉͘͝͝g̴̢͕̬̹̈̑̈́̚o̶̢̠̬̐̿͌̀̕̚͝ ̷̠̳͚͓͇̉̒͑̒̚b̵̢͌͊̏̌ạ̴̡̞̝͚͉͂̎͠͠c̸̘̠̰̤̹̗̅̒̈ķ̶͎̻͚̓̔̍̈́̑͑̃ ̴̫͕̐̽t̸̃̈́ͅo̴̳̍̎͂̓̅ ̴̛̖̌̔y̶̨̖̭̩̘͗̈́̇̎͘͝ó̵̘̈̉̈́̂͠ư̵͓̜̠̳̜̐̍͆r̴̼̭̻͓̦̙̺̆́͐ ̷̩̟̟̅̿̈́̀̀͑͒l̷̟͍͉̏̍͂̐͘i̶̢͇̲̱͋̊̅̎ͅť̶͍͎̌͌͌͒̚t̸̡̯͙̪̀̈́̓̾͘ͅl̶̨̨͈͉̫̣̆͛́͛̾̎̕͜e̵͈͇̦͗͛ ̸̢̩͓̒͐V̶̦̙͍̲̝̪́͜ë̷͚͈͕̠̞́͐̃̑̽̌͘e̴̢̖̎̂̓̅͆̒͐ ̶̛̞̘̇̈̾̽͘t̸̡̨͉͍̱́̆̿̉̎͊͝o̸̝̝̐̀̈́̏̕͝w̷͎͈̠̖̠̬̻͆̐͐e̴̱̠͒͌̚̕͝r̶̛̗̠͇̯̪̈́ ̶̛̛̯͎̱͓̈́̽̀͝͝o̵̧̦͉̲̻̾̎̏̐̌ȑ̸̡̲͈̯̐̾̍̓̂͘ ̷̨̞̝̍̇̊y̶̲̳̠͎̖͛̉ǒ̶͎̘̝̥̯͓̿̎͜ŭ̴̺̟͍̩͊̓ ̶͍̂̊̀̏͛̑̈́d̴̯̫̟̬̮̆̈i̸̧̘̱͆̍̃̐͘e”
(You go back to your little Vee tower or you die)
Val’s hand shifted just and inch closer to the gun on his belt.
Radio static screeched as Alastor grabbed Val swinging him up and smashing him down to the ground over and over and over again before letting him go in the sky and biting down on the body as it fell.
Blood spewed from Alastor’s mouth as one half of the beaten body fell onto the floor with a splat the large form of the radio demon swallowing the rest only for it to come back up again seconds later mixed with acid like bile.
Both parts of Val lay in a mix of blood and bile twitching every so often. He would reform eventually.
Just as suddenly as he grew Alastor shrunk back down to his normal size and merely hummed as he walked passed the open mouthed shocked face Angel and Charlie, Husk and Vaggi’s slightly discussed faces, Niffty’s frantic giggling and Lucifers flushed face.
Fuck, Lucifer thought, That should not have been as hot as it was.
Later that night Alastor and Lucifers sat in bed the latter admiring the now noticeable bump.
“You’re so beautiful” Lucifer said kissing Alastor slowly moving his kisses up from the stomach to Alastor’s mouth.
“I’m emotional” Alastor’s smile was somewhat flat.
“You’re hormonal and so very handsome” Lucifer grinned bringing a hand up to scratch through Alastor’s curls.
“I almost cried in the nursery after Angel hugged me for keeping Val away” Lucifer had noticed that.
No one else had of course because even in a vulnerable moment somehow Alastor was able to hide his emotions. For Lucifer however the switch in the eye and the quick shift in topic was easily readable.
“You know it’s okay to cry. Do you still feel the need to?” Lucifer didn’t get a response but the shift in the way Alastor sat told him anyway.
Lucifer hugged Alastor around the waist letting one hand move up and down Alastor’s back.
He ignored the small drips of water that fell letting Alastor feel without being seen. A step in the right direction.
-/-/-
Alastor was a man of habit. His life had structure and rhythm. Everyone in the hotel knew that and yet when his internal clock woke him up as usual there was a nagging urge to just stay in bed.
Perhaps it had something to do with not being able to get to sleep very well last night from the ache that ran through his body. Now that the bump was more noticeable standing was becoming a pain though the stubborn man he is Alastor continued to act as if nothing had changed.
It had been annoying enough to give up his usual suit for a red turtleneck.
Alastor sighed deciding that he could allow himself just a few more minutes of rest.
It wasn’t lucifers morning to cook so he woke up later expecting the bed to be cold and to have to find his dearest love somewhere in the hotel. He was not expecting to open his eyes to find Alastor laying beside him still deep in sleep.
Had he woken up early? Lucifer looked at the large grand clock Alastor had put in there room and nope, definitely not early.
Looking down at his lover Lucifer smiled. The bags under Alastor’s eyes weren’t exactly very hidden and the pregnancy had definitely make his sleeping patterns worse then they already were so he kissed Alastor on the head and tucked him in before getting ready for the day.
Lucifer left there shared room and went to his own to finish off the duck he was making for the baby’s room. Alastor had given in and allowed him to at one to the room so he was gonna make the best of it.
It had taken a while but he had managed to make it glow when you gave it a tap so now there baby would have a cute little night light. He struggled through the mountains of ducks till he finally got to the desk where the special duck was. He swiped it quickly accidentally knocking a small bag of sweets to the floor.
Lucifer paused as he looked at them and then the pile they came from. Money from mammon, a box which he hadn’t dared to open from Asmodeus, a hat from Satan, a well made bag from Leviathan, a small plush that resembled Belphegor and of course the bag of sweets that Lucifer had knocked down from Beelzebub.
The ‘This is a bribe’ note was still attached to the money. He really had been gone for a while huh. He had a lot to fill them in on as well, maybe Alastor would like to visit them sometime soon, considering the baby’s taste Bee would happily supply some good sugar options.
He would ask Alastor later if he was up for a visit he decided hopping through the mess of his room and leaving to the downstairs area after putting the duck in the nursery.
Charlie was already down there with Vaggi talking about something. A new trust exorcise maybe?
“Dad! Have you seen Alastor around. I was looking for him but I couldn’t find him anywhere” Charlie said looking up when Lucifer entered the room.
“Oh yeah he’s still sleeping” Lucifer answered plopping down on the sofa.
“Alastor? You mean the Alastor who wakes up at five in the morning just because” Vaggi asked with raised eyebrows.
“Come on Vaggi this is a good thing. He’s bound to be tired from all the work he’s still doing on top of the pregnancy” Charlie smiled.
“I’m glad he’s resting and all but it’s so unlike him. I suppose he’s really changed from when we first met though huh” Vaggi sighed before smiling back at Charlie.
“Oh I just remembered! I wanted to ask Alastor about maybe going to visit the Sins. I haven’t seen them in a while and I feel like they deserve to know what’s going on” Charlie immediately perked up at that.
“Really! Oh I just know they will love him. Make sure to say hello from me- oh morning Alastor” Charlie waved. Lucifer turned round to his Alastor looking rather miserable despite his smile and well put together clothing.
“Morning Charlie dear” Alastor hummed sliding down next to Lucifer.
“Hey Al, I was wondering if you would want to go to the gluttony ring and maybe meet the Sins? There like family to me you know so I wanna introduce you to them” He explained looking as Alastor who’s eyes narrowed at him.
“I’m sure I’ll make a fabulous impression. This is Alastor the Radio demon I’ve been dating for less then a year. Also he’s pregnant” Alastor hissed “They’ll think I’m some kind of whore you took pity on”
“Alastor” Lucifer frowned “They’re not like that and you know very well that I love you. Please, if you feel uncomfortable at any point just say and I’ll take you home” He reasoned. Even if the Sins thought bad about Alastor he wouldn’t just let it go, though he knew they weren’t like that, Lucifer would make it very clear to them to never disrespect his lover.
Or perhaps Alastor would be enough of a threat on his own, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned even worse when the women was a pregnant Alastor.
“Deal” Alastor huffed. There was no real deal behind the words only a promise between lovers.
Lucifer smiles before taking out his phone to send the text.
Lucifer
Hey Guys
Beelzebub
HOLY SHIT!???!? GROUP CHAT TALK???
Asmodeus
Hope you’re doing okay ❤️
Satan
Where the fuck have you been?
Lucifer
I’ve been kinda caught up in things. Was in a bad place for a bit but I’m doing much better now. I was actually hoping on visiting you guys soon.
Mammon
Did my bribe work?
Levitation
Still can’t believe you sent him money.
Of course he did, go sweet ❤️
Ew
Lucifer
I have someone I want you to meet as well. Just don’t freak out or anything when you meet him.
Asmodeus
Have you got a new lover???
Did my gift help you get closer~
Satan
Shut up
Beelzebub
OMG come to my place, I was so wondering what I was going to do tomorrow but I would love to host you all. What kind of shit is your guy into?? Has he ever tried Beezle juice?
Lucifer
No Beezle Juice. I don’t think drinking is a good idea right now. Just- I’ll explain it all when I’m there.
See you tomorrow.
Lucifer paused as he turned his phone off. This was either going to go really bad or really well.
The next day came rather quickly. Lucifer let Alastor sleep in while he got dressed and made breakfast for the both of them. He ended up bringing the breakfast upstairs and luckily the sweet smell woke Alastor up for him.
Alastor took a rather long time making sure he looked as presentable as possible.
“I look fat in this” Alastor grumbled looking at the plain long sleeved red button up shirt.
“Your not fat my love your caring our child” Lucifer hummed wrapping his arms around Alastor and looking up at him “And even if you were you would still be gorgeous and I would love every single part of you”
“Stop your faltering” Alastor hissed pushing Lucifer away with a hand to the face. Alastor grabbed a long black overcoat and slipped in on.
“Hmm. Better. Come now let us go. Early is on time and on time is late after all” Lucifer rolled his eyes with a smile and opened up a portal.
Usually it was impossible for Sinners to get out of the pride ring, this of course being a protection for the hell born, but Lucifer’s portals didn’t exactly follow the rules that the barriers between the circles had.
Lucifer watched as Alastor took in his surroundings. They were inside Bee’s large house and everything was a blinding shade of golden yellow.
The smell of alcohol still hung in the air but a sweeter sugary smell covered it for the most part.
“WAS THAT A PORTAL I HEARD!” Bee’s yell could be heard coming closer as she flew down from a higher floor.
“OH MY FUCK, LUCI” Bee grinned wrapping Lucifer up in her arms and swinging him around.
“How have you been- oh who is-“ Bee paused looking at Alastor. Her eyes moved from his face to the bump and then to the face again.
“I knew you had a partner! Nice to meet you, Im Beelzebub but you can call me Bee” Bee grinned putting out a hand which Alastor shook.
“Alastor. A pleasure to meet you” Alastor nodded back.
“Ooo he’s a gentleman as well, you certainly know how to pick them” Bee said laying her arm across Lucifers head and using him as an arm rest.
“Yes I’m very lucky to have him” Lucifer smiled softly as he looked from Bee to Alastor.
“Come come sit down, your so early I mean Lucfer is normal kinda late to these things so you must be giving him better habits at least” Bee said lending an arm which Alastor took as she lead the two of them to the round sofas.
“I’m so glad I took the message of no Beezle juice seriously and made those sweet fruity smoothies instead” Bee moved once Alastor was sat down summoning a jug of an icy golden drink. “I prefer my ice crushed so smoothies are great for that” She said handing Alastor a now full glass.
“May I ask what’s in here?” Alastor said sniffing the drink. It smelt wonderfully sweet.
“Honey, Mango, Milk and ice of course. All good for pregnancy” Bee answered not taking Alastor’s caution to heard.
“You better stay away from me, I don’t need to be fighting with you when Lucifer is finally coming back” Asmodeus’s voice could be heard coming into the building.
“Yeah well it’s not like I’m the one who stole someone’s worker” Mammon growled. The two sins paused as they took in the sight of Lucifer, Alastor and Bee.
“Azzy, Mammon, hey how’s it going?” Lucifer waved at the two of them.
“Well IM doing wonderful with MY new boyfriend” Asmodeus said swishing over and sitting down on the seat. Mammon scowled at him before sitting in the furthest part of the Sofa.
“Well guys this is Alastor, my partner” Lucifer gestured towards Alastor who quickly swallowed down the drink he had been sipping on to speak.
“Lovely to meet the other of you”
“Got busy quickly huh” Mammon laughed loudly sticking his finger through the circle his other hand had made. Asmodeus’s hair shifted red at the tips.
“MAMMON, not appropriate”
“Never do that again”
“Ew, Mammon”
“Sorry about Mammon. He’s disgusting at times” Asmodeus said looking down at Alastor.
“It’s quite alright though he would do well to watch his tongue lest I cut it off and gift it to a friend of mine. I must say I am rather surprised the embodiment of lust would get Angry at such gestures”
“Ah well consent it’s very sexy and despide the obvious implications of your form we don’t know you. We have no way to know what you’re comfortable with yet so it would only be rather considerate to act respectfully” Asmodeus explained grabbing himself the glass Bee had poured for him.
“Your thoughts on consent are rather relieving to know considering my only information on you were half heard rambles from a porn director and the creator of a love potion while I was kidnapped” Alastor says casually before sipping his drink again.
“I’m not sure what context this conversation was supposed to have but fuck those guys” A new voice says. It’s gruffer with a hint of violence hidden in the tone. Satan.
“Hey big guy, not much context and it’s a long story. Everything’s all good now” Lucifer waved Satan over who sat down in between Alastor and Mammon giving him a decent amount of space on both his sides.
“Is Belphegor coming? I didn’t see her response in the group chat” Satan huffed before looking at Alastor and giving him a once over then a nod.
“Uhhhhh” Bee paused looking at her phone “She sent a heart emoji to my last message but she may have overslept. I know she had a lot of medical shit to do last night”
“She works in the medical field does she?” Alastor asks putting down his empty glass.
“Yeah, we had like a whole argument about the drugs I have at my party’s but we’ve made up now. Doesn’t mean she’ll let me have any though” Bee muttered crossing her arms.
“You know the damage those drugs do to the hell hounds and imps that come to your party’s” Lucifer frowned.
“Yeah yeah I know” Bee’s ears flickered down for a moment before fixing themselves.
“When she arrive it might be best for us to have a word with her. You do trust her skills yes?” Alastor looked down at Lucifer who nodded his head immediately.
“Oh most definitely! She-“
“She’s highly skilled, best at what she does” A somewhat cold voice says. A two headed woman said with the more eel like head. The other had a bright smile on her face as they sat down next to Mammon.
“Oh and I can totally see why! How far along are you? Was this on purpose or a complete accident?” The cheerier head said looking Alastor up and down.
“Come now Levi, keep yourself calm” Asmodeus grinned tossing two heart shaped lolly’s in the woman’s direction. Each hand caught there respective one perfectly.
“Hand made, better then I could ever make” The more human head sighed unwrapping hers.
“As if, we’ve made better lollies then this before and you know it” The eel head huffed shoving her lollies into the other heads mouth and nicking the one in her hands instead.
“Don’t worry to much my dear, curiosity is only natural” Alastor waved it off calmly. Lucifer nabbed a lolly from Asmodeus and gave it to Alastor who rolled his eyes but took it anyway.
“OH THATS WHAT THOSE SWEETS WHERE FOR!” Bee shouted all of a sudden.
“What?” Mammon asked looking between Bee and the happy couple.
“You see the child inside of me has unfortunately gotten Lucifers eating habits. Personally I despise sweets but it seems to be the only thing I can eat consistently without throwing up” Alastor explained.
“Sooo I contacted Bee about getting some sweets that were able to give Alastor the proper nutrition needed. Asked her not to mention it” Lucifer shrugged an arm winding its way around Alastor’s own arm.
“So that whole first surprise message you sent was an act?” Satan hissed sending a glare at Beelzebub.
“Uhh no” She rolled her eyes pulling up her phone “I said and i quote ‘HOLY SHIT!???!? GROUP CHAT TALK???’ End quote” She grinned waving the phone in Satan’s face who made a grab for it only for Bee to fly higher and giggle at him.
“Why must you all be so loud” A quiet voice says moving as if on ice into the room and plopping down in between Alastor and Satan.
“Ah you must be Belphaor. Pleasure” Alastor smiled. Bel looked up at him with multiple tired eyes.
“Mmmh, a little more then five months yes? Congratulations” She hums softly. Her head tilts sideways and some wax drips down the candle before solidifying half way.
“Well you’re certainly good” Alastor smiled as Lucifer wrapped himself around him.
“I told you my love” He grins kissing Alastor’s jaw.
“If I may be so forward I will happily offer my services. While my main medical skill is as an anesthesiologists, management of pain and the overall proses of helping one give birth is also something I find great success in” She murmured eyes blinking softly like a cat.
“I would greatly appreciate that. Despite not being intimately familiar with the process my mother taught me well enough to understand the process is painful. Though I suppose she never imagined her son being the one giving birth” He laughed gently. Lucifer could admire that smile and laughter for the rest of his forever.
It had been about an hour since everyone had arrived and of course another argument had to start up. It was hard to tell but Lucifer was pretty sure Asmodeus and Mammon had stated it. One head of Leviathan has agreed with Mammon while the other on principle agreed with Asmodeus. That of course set Satan off who then got yelled at by Beelzebub.
Truly Lucifer wondered if his love for the circus had made his Sin’s a bunch of clowns.
He knew he had to stop the fight when Alastor’s head had hit Lucifer’s shoulders, it was basically at a ninety degree angle but that was normal for Alastor. His lovers sleep had been so mixed recently and he was ever so glad the fatigue fase was coming in if only that is stopped Alastor from being able to overwork himself.
“Shut your mouths” Lucifer hissed. Somehow despite the quietness of his words, to keep his precious love asleep of course, they rang in the Sins ears. Asmodeus’s fire shifted colour, Bee’s ears fell to the sides, Mammon shrunk back down and Levi stopped hissing at eachother. Even Satan’s fire died down, the therapist must be doing him good… or DOING him good. Huh. Lucifer wish he could erase that thought.
“I don’t suppose your age has made you blind but it’s very clear Alastor is sleeping something he desperately needs. So be quiet” He said wrapping an arm around his lover and moving him to rest against his lap. Lucifer ran his fingers through the soft curls smiling as the Sins made quiet apologies and began a quieter discussion instead.
“I’m happy for you Lucifer, you seem to be doing much better” Bel smiles.
“I am. With him and my daughter by my side. I truly am”

“Hey dad, Alastor! Welcome back. We were just about to start the group activity” Charlie smiled as her dads walked through the door. Huh, Alastor really did feel like another father to her.
“Oooo the baby naming one we talked about! I have so many boy and girl names” Lucifer grinned running towards his daughter. They had used Lucifer’s portal to get back from a medical appointment. It had also been a while since Alastor left the hotel but he simply wasn’t ready for hell to know about the baby yet.
To much of a risk and Lucifer fully understood that. Sinners would love to take advantage of a pregnancy radio demon and despite Alastor not being weak any violence could hurt the baby.
“No need for the boy names my dear. It’s a girl” Alastor says sitting on the half round sofa.
“You and smiles got the test thing done?” Angel asked though Lucifer gave a confused look in return.
“No? Alastor did you do it without me?” Lucifer asked keeping any accusatory tone out of his voice.
“Hmm no you were all there. You even asked me what I was doing my dear. Two days ago” Lucifer thought too two days ago. They had all been having a relaxing movie day and during a pause Alastor had taken a small needle from Niffty and some of his own hair tying the needle to the hair and hanging it above his stomach.
Lucifer had asked what Alastor was doing only to get a “checking on our baby” response. Lucifer hadn’t questioned it from then.
“The needle? How would that tell you our baby is a girl?” Lucifer asked slightly confused.
“A Voodoo practice my mother taught me. It swung side to side so it’s a girl. My mother always did it when helping the pregnant women who either couldn’t afford professional medical care or were to dark for the white mens liking to be allowed it. She was never wrong” Alastor hummed picking up a note pad and pen.
“That’s so cool Alastor. Thank you for sharing” Charlie smiled picking up her own note pad and pink glitter pen.
“How about Karen?” Vaggi suggested but scribbled out when Angel winced and shook his head.

Alastor yelled as he gripped Lucifers hand tighter. Lucifer felt Alastor’s claws dig in so deep they drew blood but considering Alastor hadn’t bitten his head off he considered this a major in.
“I would die as many times as you wished me to my love, your doing so well” Even with the sweat and tears Alastor was absolutely gorgeous.
“Oh my love I’m so proud of you” Lucifer smiled kissing Alastor cheek and quickly moving away just in time for the next contraction. Alastor screamed in pain.
Lucifer did feel rather awful for Alastor. Lilith didn’t exactly give birth to Charlie a natural way, she had carried her for nine months of course but when the time came she had sort of just POPPED into existence. Kinda came with the territory of being made before the Apple made child birth painful. Really cruel punishment by the way dad. Lucifer thought.
“He’s right, you’re doing very well. Your cervix is fully dilated to 10 centimetres so it’s safe to push now. On your next contraction push” Bel instructed clear and calm.
Alastor’s smile was so tight lucifer was surprised his teeth hadn’t broken.
Four long hours it took. Four brutal agonising hours of pushing and screaming but finally the child was out.
“It’s a girl” Bel whispered handing the baby to Alastor once all the blood and other bodily fluids were off her.
“She’s beautiful” He smiled as the little baby curled up in Alastor’s arms. She had almost white blond hair yet a similar tan complexion to Alastor. Small lighter freckles covered her head to toe or more accurately hoof though which parent she got them from it was hard to tell.
“She’s adorable” Lucifer agreed smiling up at Alastor “How are you, want some water?” Lucifer asked holding a cup and straw up for Alastor.
“Thank you my dear” Alastor smile taking a sip before looking back down at his little fawn.
“Did you have a name?” Bel asked summoning a form.
“Mirielle”
