Ace didn’t know how long he was asleep after the fight and the amazing sex he’d had with Sabo, but when he woke up, he realized that they had a lot they needed to talk about.
His wings fluffed a bit, his overwhelming happiness showing through them as his hand ran along his currently still toned stomach, where a little being was growing. A child that he and Sabo made together…
He startled as his freckles began to glow, love and embarrassment. He loved the thought of holding the little life they’ve made together, but the angel was embarrassed since he remembered how other angels would look down on him for being pregnant by a demon after having sex only a couple of times, not nearly the amount that most would do if they were trying for a child.
He shook his head as the door opened and the blond walked in, eyes nervous as he glanced at the angel. “How’re you feeling, Ace?” Sabo asked, walking over to the bed and sitting on the edge carefully.
“A little sore,” He admitted, shifting closer to the demon. “Sabo, we have to talk.”
“I was going to say the same thing,” The demon heaved a sigh, looking directly in Ace’s eyes. “You said you loved me last night.”
The dark haired angel looked at his lap, fingers intertwining briefly, before he looked back up. “I did,” He took a deep breath. “I love you. After being brought down here and being around you for so long, I fell for you. You showed me things I never would’ve known before, we may have gotten off to a terrible start, but things have changed between us and my feelings have changed for you as well. I used to hate the way you looked at me and touched me, but now I crave and love it more than anything.
The demon smiled gently, hand reaching out and cupping his chin, their lips meeting in a chaste soft kiss. When they parted, Ace’s face was a soft pink and for the first time since they’ve been together, Sabo had a deep blush coating his cheeks.
“I have something else to tell you as well,” Ace took a deep breath as Sabo grabbed both of his hands. “I’m pregnant.” The shock was evident as Sabo sucked in a deep breath. “And considering I was a virgin before I met you…”
“The baby’s mine…” A grin began to pull at the demon’s lips, his wings spreading in his happiness. “You’re pregnant with my baby. We’re going to have a baby…! Ace, we’re going to have a baby!”
Ace laughed at the excitement the demon showed, before yelping as Sabo leaned down and pulled him into a tight hug, pressing his face into the crook of Ace’s neck and planting a soft kiss there. Slowly, his arms leaned up and wrapped around the other, hugging his larger body closer to himself. “I’m happy too. So happy to have a child with you.”
They sat there, Sabo’s large body coming into the bed and cradling Ace gently, treating him like the most precious gem in all of Hell and he loved it, head nuzzling into the broad chest he’d come to adore over time.

It was about the middle of Ace’s first month, when Sabo realized that the child the archangel was bearing may have been more demon than angel. Despite it only being the first month, Ace’s stomach was larger than it should have been during his first month.
The second thing he noticed was the constant strain it put on his body, despite him being relatively early in the pregnancy. Ace was usually seen in bed, wearing one of Sabo’s shirts and curled up, either reading or asleep. The blond wasn’t too concerned, considering this was the first time a demon and an angel conceived a child and understood that there were many unknown factors in between it all.
It was around the second month that things got a little better. Ace’s body seemed to finally adjust to his new cargo and the fact he had another, new kind of life growing within himself, he wasn’t as tired anymore, but he still took a lot of naps. Usually if Sabo had a meeting or something, he’d have Vivi or Koala checking in on him, just for his own peace of mind. Ace had told him on multiple occasions that he didn’t need to worry so much, but the blond wasn’t taking any chances.
This was new to both of them and Sabo was pretty sure they were the first two to actually make something between the two of them.
Thankfully by the third month, everything seemed to really settle down…aside from Ace’s elevated sex drive. Sabo didn’t know an angel could be so horny, until he woke up to Ace riding him at some point in the night. Not that he was complaining, it was just startling.
Then they hit the fourth month and had some unexpected and unwanted visitors.
⸻
Sabo and Ace had been relaxing in their room, Ace sitting on his lip as Sabo brushed his fingers through his hair, pressing sweet kisses to the strands and his forehead, his other hand running carefully over the angel’s large belly, when Koala ran in brown eyes landing on the duo seriously. “You have a visitor.”
Sabo raised an eyebrow as Vivi walked in after, lips pursed as behind her followed…oh, that would cause alarm. Marco the Phoenix and head of the archangels was behind the two females. His bright blue eyes glared at Sabo, before they softened on the demon’s lover. “Ace…”
Ace smiled at him, though it looked a bit sad. “Hey, Marco.” The dark haired angel looked down at his stomach pointedly. “It’s been some time.”
“Ace, I’ve come to try and bring you home, although Vivi thinks I should ask you first, yoi.” Marco looked as if he’d just swallowed a lemon at the thought of Ace wanting to stay down in Hell.
“I’m glad she told you that,” Ace took a deep breath, shoulders squaring and for a brief moment, Sabo thought that the little dream life he’d been living these last few months would disappear. “I want to stay here. With my child’s father and the one I love.”
A moment of silence as his words sank in for everyone. Sabo felt a cheeky grin come across his face as he turned to the blond angel. “Well, you heard him, Phoenix.” Marco glared back. “Don’t worry, he can come and visit you and you’re adopted father when he feels like it.”
Marco’s lips pulled into a tighter line, before he turned on his heel and stomped off, obviously upset with the outcome, but not wanting to take Ace’s choice away from him.
“Nicely handled,” Vivi giggled as she hugged Koala, who’s little wings fluttered cheerily.
“Yeah, but that child is going to be the most spoiled demon or angel ever.” The orange haired demon joked as Sabo pecked Ace sweetly on the lips.
“Damn right they are.” Sabo smirked as Ace laughed, freckles lighting up with the beauty of his laughter and causing the blond to lean in and kiss him silly again.
