Work Text:
You sprawled against yours and Lucifer’s bed, your sketchpad resting against your lap and pencil lightly tracing absentminded lines against the paper. Truthfully though, you weren’t paying the most attention that you could have to your work, and you couldn’t settle on something to draw straight.
You completely abandoned the idea of drawing as a portal snapped open in your room and Lucifer hopped through, smile bright and still bouncing.
“I don’t need to ask how your day was.” You teased, setting your pad aside as he hopped forward to give you a quick smooch.
“Am I that obvious?” He asked, cheekily.
“You’re positively glowing, my Morningstar.” You giggled, and lightly played with some loose strands of hair as he pressed into your touch. “How was babysitting?”
His eyes brightened, if that was even possible, and he beamed. “Oh golly they’re so cute! Like, I’d never give Alastor credit for having cute kids, but Fawn is a little princess! And Todd is such a shy boy but he smiled at me! At me!” He bounced a bit from excitement.
Sometimes Alastor would allow Lucifer to babysit (begrudgingly) and Lucifer would always leap at the chance to spend time with his niece and nephew. Lucifer absolutely adored those kids, and he loved them to pieces. Today Alastor and Shadow had been hoping for another date night and he had been in charge of watching them… So you had no doubt Alastor would comment on Lucifer putting them in something duck related tomorrow morning when you decided to be social again.
You smiled as you listened to him continue to babble, amused as he completely and utterly gushed.
He finally plopped down on the bed on his back, sighing as he caught his breath.
“I haven’t taken care of something so small since Charlie was a baby. I forgot how much I missed it…” He hummed.
You cocked your head, thoughtfully. “Have you thought about having another one? A baby, I mean.”
Lucifer’s head snapped towards you, and you were taken aback by the completely serious look that crossed his face.
“Yes.”
At your blink, his face shifted to something more awkward and goofy. “I mean I have for awhile now, but I haven’t said anything since it’s never really come up before and I didn’t know how you felt about it.” He rambled. “And hey, if you’re concerned about anything or don’t want to do all the hard work I can do it like I did for Lilith-”
“Wait wait wait wait.” You cut him off, making his mouth snap shut as you both sat straight up. “You… You did what now?”
Lucifer didn’t look embarrassed at all, just a bit shy maybe, judging by the flush of gold on his cheeks.
“I carried Charlie.” He gestured to himself. “Lilith wanted a baby too, but considering her circumstances and everything, she didn’t want to, you know, get tied down by anything like that… So I did it.”
You blinked again, and gave him a look over. Honestly, the shapeshifting had played a part in your relationship before, so you knew he could take any form he pleased. Still though, with how pint-sized he was… That was impressive.
He fiddled slightly with his wedding ring. “That’s not too freaky is it? Not many people know that, and I get that it’s not norm-”
“It’s not freaky.” You reassured, taking his hand. “It’s admirable. And sweet.” Your eyes swept him from head to toe again. “You never told me you had that in your little bag of tricks.”
Lucifer, looking relieved, immediately perked up. “Well I can’t tell you everything I can do. It’ll spoil any surprises I might want to spring on ya.” He squeezed your hand. “So yeah, if you don’t want to do the whole pregnancy thing, I can do it easy! Definitely don’t mind doing it again-”
You giggled and pressed your finger against his lips as he started ramping up to ramble again, watching as he quieted with adorably big eyes trained right on you.
“Lucifer, I’m far from against having a baby with you.” You smiled as he visibly perked up, and you could see excitement dancing in his eyes. “If there was anyone I’d want to experience this with, it’s you. And I mean every part of it.” You hinted softly.
Lucifer’s eyes softened, so much that your heart actually skipped a beat at how much love and adoration he was looking at you with, before he flashed you a devilish smirk. He leaned in, subconsciously pressing you back further against the headboard as he boxed you in. His horns were out, and you could see his tail lashing excitedly against the bed behind him.
“Well then.” He flashed you a heated look. “If that’s the case, then no need to hold off on trying now.”
He let out a low groan as you tugged him by the horns closer to you and pressed your lips against his.
You were fairly confident that you didn’t leave the bedroom for a few days, at least that was what you thought considering Lucifer kept you, ahm, distracted. It wasn’t unusual for both of you to withdraw from the hotel for a few days at a time to mentally recharge, so no one even thought to interrupt you or come to check on you. Again, not that you would have been in a place to answer in any comprehensible way.
You had never seen that side of Lucifer before, and you were curious to see if you could drag that voracious appetite out of him again… When you could feel your hips again.
“Charlie Charlie Charlie!” Lucifer practically flew into Charlie as she stepped out of her and Vaggie’s room, making you laugh as her and Vaggie just about caught him from completely barreling both of them over.
You trailed behind him, laughing as Charlie carefully helped him up from where he had ended up faceplanting.
“Lu, calm down.” You chuckled. “She’s not going anywhere!”
“I know, but I’m excited!” He popped up, still practically vibrating. “Can you blame me??”
Charlie cleared her throat, making Lucifer’s head whip back towards her.
“Why are you so excited dad?” She asked, and already you could see her getting a bit bouncy as Lucifer’s infectiously good mood got to her too.
Lucifer beamed, and threw an arm around you as he carefully pulled you to stand next to him.
“I’m glad you asked!” He flashed Charlie a big, wide-eyed grin. “How do you feel about being a big sister?”
Charlie looked confused for maybe a quarter of a second, before her jaw dropped and her eyes snapped open wide. You braced yourself as she let out a squeal and practically tackled you and Lucifer in a huge, nearly back breaking hug.
“Oh my gosh oh my gosh ohmyGOSH!” She pulled back, eyes bright with her dad’s bounciness and excitement. “Are you really?” She asked, looking at you with big eyes.
You laughed. “Without a doubt. I had to keep him from announcing it before we knew for sure.” You teased.
Charlie looked like she was about to start crying happy tears. “I’m so happy for both of you! And I can’t wait to be a big sister!”
Needless to say, it didn’t take long for everyone at the hotel, and you did mean everyone, to know about your pregnancy, whether from the insanely excited screaming that emanated from the Morningstar family or hearing it from Charlie or Lucifer as they rushed around telling everyone. Everyone came over to congratulate you both at some point during the day, even Alastor, who seemed genuinely happy for you “giving Lucifer something to distract himself with.” Shadow even promised to help you with anything should you need it, an offer you did not refuse at all.
Eventually though, you felt the urge to withdraw despite the overwhelming feeling of joy and happiness for you and Lucifer, and Lucifer was very quick to spirit both of you back to your room and curl up in bed with you once again. Even though he couldn’t sit still for a second.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this excited for anything before.” You teased, lightly playing with a few loose strands of his hair.
Lucifer looked up from where he had been absentmindedly tapping his fingers against your belly, and flashed you a slightly flushed smile.
“Well I am. Not only do I get to share this with the lady I completely love and adore with all my heart.” He cooed, perking up as he drew a little pink from your cheeks. “But this is also a side of things I haven’t been on before. I’m actually a little nervous.”
You smiled. “I’m nervous too, but I know you’ll do great.” You kissed his nose. “If anything, I can rely on you to guide me through this. At least you know what to expect.”
Lucifer gave you a little squeeze as you felt his tail latch around your ankle, eyes bright as he nodded eagerly.
“Oh you can bet on that! I have plenty of experience to draw on. Mood swings, cravings, aches and pains, morning sickness, stresses of any kind, I got it so I can help with it.” He grinned proudly. “I am going to be the best pregnancy partner!”
You smiled fondly, listening to him start to ramble on about a few stories he had when he was pregnant himself, gently sliding your hand down to settle it on your stomach.
Yeah, you couldn’t think of anyone else you’d rather do this with…
