Lucifer's POV

I wake up and feel around the bed next to me. I'm alone. I frown, knowing that means that Alastor didn't sleep last night. I worry for him. He used to sleep every night with me. Ever since Andro was born, he hasn't. This week is supposed to be a vacation. Alastor needs to just relax. I can handle a few things too. He needs to understand that.

I slip out of bed and rub my eyes. I look in the mirror and fix my hair to look somewhat presentable. I walk out of the room and walk into the living room. Alastor lays on the couch, reading, with Andro on his chest still sleeping.

"Alastor."

"Yes, darling?" He looks up at me. He sets his book down, careful not to wake Andro, and I cross my arms.

"Stop not sleeping. You need sleep."

"Stop not sleeping?"

"Shut up. I'm mad at you!"

"Will you stop being mad if I wear that duck onesie you always beg me to wear?"

"You'll wear it?" I ask, my tone becoming softer. I completely forget about Alastor's need for sleep and starts getting excited. He knows his way to my heart. How dare he.

"Lead the way, Your Majesty."

I start bouncing with joy, my eyes twinkling with excitement. I take Alastor back to our room. I'm so glad I brought it.

"Aren't you beautiful?!" I ask as Alastorand I look in the mirror. Alastor is currently wearing that duck onesie he promised to wear. His ears fold halfway from the hoodie which is really adorable. I need to sneak one for Andro. Alastor once caught me trying to put one on him. I ran before he could say anything.

"Very beautiful indeed, my cute little duck." I smile at my tall husband. I'm so happy right now. Alastor leans down to kiss me. I grab his face, pulling the demon down. Our lips collide roughly. I moan into Al's mouth. I slowly guide the deer towards the bed. Climbing onto it, Alastor hovers over me. I know Alastor isn't into sex, so I just keep kissing him. Anytime I've gotten a little overboard, he'll freeze up.

"Bleck. Papa, no kissing Daddy!" Andro giggles. We break the kiss to look at him. I thought he was asleep. How long has he been awake? "That's gross." Alastor gives me a little peck. "Ew!" Andro giggles. Alastor keeps giving me little kisses, keeping eye contact with our son. "No!" He crawls toward us, putting his hand in the way of Al's kisses. Alastor starts tickling Andro, making him laugh. "Daddy! Save... hehe... me!"

"Daddy can't save you now," Alastor says.

"Ahhhh!" A knock at the door makes us all freeze. Alastor and I look at the door then look at each other. Al picks up Andro and I go to answer it. I open the door and it's...Vox. Why is he here?

"What do you want?" I ask.

"Your daughter wants to see you two." He walks away. Is Charlie planning another activity? I look back at Alastor. He shrugs. We both walk, not speaking a word. Andro plays with Alastor's fingers. We meet Charlie in the living room area, so we sit down in front of her. Angel and Husk are once again in their own world. Velvette is chilling on her phone and Vox just sits there and tries to look intimidating.

"Today, we're going to learn something from everyone. Everyone is going to share something they feel comfortable sharing that no one knows about yet!" Charlie exclaims.

"But I already know everything about Alastor," I say.

"Wellll," Al says, looking down at our child.

"Al? What are you not telling me?"

"I think that conversation is for another time, dear," he whispers. Suddenly, everything around the room goes dark. Red eyes start appearing on the walls. Everyone looks around, terrified. "Oh no." I look at Alastor. His ear pin back.

"Al, what is going on?" He hands me Andro, who's trembling and on the verge of crying. Then black chains appear from the ground, wrapping everyone tightly against their chair. What the fuck? A lady appears in the middle of the room. Roo. Shit. She walks towards Alastor and picks him up by the neck, the chains around him disappearing. His white fur from his angelic form goes red. He's turning back.

"You little bitch. Thinking you can get out of my grasp by running to Lilith? Now Lucifer?" She laughs a little. "Miss me?" Alastor tries to fight back, but Roo throws him against a wall. I grab ahold of the chains on me and break them into gold dust. I set Andro on the couch and quickly cover him with a pillow. I charge at Roo, my full demon form coming out. She dodges my attack and wraps a chain around my ankle, then proceeds to throw me out of a window. Fuck. She picks up Alastor again by the neck and pins him to the wall. I fly back through the window and she chains me against the wall. I can't get out of them. I try to get rid of them, but twice as more keeps coming. "It's been far too long, little deer. I had to be under the radar for quite some time. Now that I'm back, you will give me what's rightfully mine."

"Never," Al croaks.

"Oh no yeah. That's okay. Unless you want your precious little fawn to live another day, I recommend doing as I say." Andro starts to float up with a red light surrounding him. I keep trying to get out of these chains. I notice Charlie is trying too. "So what will it be?"
