Birth

(Before the events of the pilot episode.)

Charlie was humming happily to herself as she rubbed her large pregnant belly. She was eight months pregnant and due to give birth soon.

"Ok Charlie. We should not let him sleep on his stomach. We can't let anyone other than us kiss him. We need to shower our baby with love and attention. Scientific evidence shows that love, attention, and affection in the first years of life have a direct and measurable impact on a child's physical, mental, and emotional growth. We also need to take care of the basics. A baby needs to be healthy so they can learn and grow. Take your baby to regular checkups, and keep their immunizations up to date. Sleep is important for our baby too. Your baby's brain cells make important connections during sleep, which help with learning, movement, and thought. Breast milk and or formula provide all the nutrients our baby needs for the first six months. Breastfeeding has many benefits for babies, including reduced risks of asthma, diabetes, obesity, respiratory sickness, ear infections, diarrhea, and SIDS. If breastfeeding isn't a good fit for you and your baby, there's no need to feel guilty. Your baby can thrive and be healthy on formula as well." Vaggie said as she was reading from a baby book. Charlie smiled at how caring Vaggie was being. Charlie looked at her and kissed her cheek.

"Calm down, Vaggie. I know your worried about raising this baby with me. But everything is going to be fine." Charlie reassured her girlfriend and held her hand. Charlie gave Vaggie a reassuring smile. Vaggie smiled back. It was two weeks into dating Charlie that she knew that Charlie was gonna be a package deal. Vaggie wasn't even sure how good of a parent she was going to be. She was many things. Hand-to-Hand Combat fighter. Loyal and kind to those she cares for, but short on patience and trust. She is also relatively easy to bait past the point of irritation and into more rash explosiveness, as others are quick to discover. Being a mom though, that wasn't as easy as it seemed.

Charlie and Vaggie were sitting in the lobby of the hotel. The Hazbin Hotel was previously owned by the royal family before being abandoned for reasons unknown to Vaggie.

The hotel formerly may have served as a mansion of sorts while it was owned and inhabited by the family prior to its transformation into a hotel, as suggested by the prevalence of pictures of Charlie, family and friends of the family on the walls of the establishment.

Now Charlie was running it and going to remake it into a hotel to redeem sinners. The only problem was that she hadn't told her parents about the hotel's purpose yet.

Soon the hotels only occupant returned, Angel Dust.

"Got everything on your list toots. Formula and breastfeeding supplies, baby proofing crap, a changing table, diapers, How the Grinch Stole Christmas book and cartoon, The Cat in the Hat book, Green Eggs and Ham book, a dvd of Baby Einstein and The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss." Angel Dust said as he placed the bag down and sat down.

"You know, there's a thing called baby showers. I highly recommend you try them sometime." Angel Dust said in annoyance as he rubbed his eyes.

"Sorry Angel. It's just this is going to be my first baby, and I want to make sure I got everything that I'll need. Hey wait, I didn't put any Dr Seuss items on the list." Charlie said the last part confused. Vaggie looked at Charlie.

"I couldn't help it. I grew up with that stuff, and I wanted the baby to grow up with them. Plus, I love How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Vaggie admitted.

"Weren't his parents lesbian swingers in that live action movie?" Angel Dust asked.

"Kinda." Vaggie said.

"Oh, I just remembered. Mom and dad sent presents for the baby." Charlie said as she pulled out one of the gifts. She unwrapped it.

It was a hideous jack-in-the-box that had a sadistic life of its own, capable of biting victims with razor-sharp teeth and dislodging itself from its box like a snake. It had the head of a disturbing clown, with a box with jesters on it.

"Aww! It's cute!" Charlie said. Vaggie and Angel Dust both had a unsettled and creeped out look on their faces.

"Yikes. If that's what they got him to play with, I'm afraid to see what they'll get him to suck and cuddle with." Angel Dust said.

Later that night, Charlie and Vaggie were looking at the baby's room. It looked so cute. Light green panted walls. A box full of baby books. A dresser with baby clothes and diapers. A changing stand. A box of baby toys. And in the corner of the room, in a box, was the baby toys from Charlie's mom and dad. Jack Attack, Mr Static, Baby Oopsy Daisy, and Grizzly Teddy.

"Hey bitch? When's the baby getting here? I'm ready to get the next 100 or so years over with." Baby Oopsy Daisy said. His voice sounded scratchy and like he'd been smoking for the last thirty years.

"Listen, I'm already this close to harpooning all four of you. Don't push me." Vaggie said through gritted teeth as she and Charlie left the room and closed the door.

Soon Charlie and Vaggie headed to bed and feel asleep. In the middle of the night, Charlie woke up to a discomfort and a dull ache in her back and lower abdomen, along with pressure in the pelvis. It hurt like hell, not only that, but she was wet underneath. The baby was due. But...that couldn't be right. It was too early...at least it felt like it was too soon.

"Ahhh!" Charlie screamed in pain and held her stomach. Vaggie woke up with a start.

"Charlie? Charlie what's wrong?" Vaggie asked. She then noticed the wetness and how much pain Charlie looked like she was in.

"Vaggie! The baby's coming!" Charlie cried out in pain.

"Oh shit! Now?! B-but it's too early!" Vaggie said in a panic. But there was nothing they could do. She panicked and tried getting out of bed, only for her legs to get tangled in the sheets and feel face first on the ground.

"Damnit!" Vaggie said as that hurt. She tried getting up, but her legs were still stuck, so she ended up ripping the sheets apart. The baby was coming and it was coming now. No time for dilly dallying, even though Vaggie's face hurt. Vaggie helped Charlie up and hit Angel Dusts door.

"Toots? It's 2:27 in the morning. What the hell is going on?" Angel Dust asked tiredly.

"Get ready! The baby's on its way. I need you to get everything we'll need and I'll call Charlie's parents and get the limo ready." Vaggie said quickly.

"Wait...now!? Like now now?" Angel Dust asked as Vaggie quickly left.

"Yes now!" Vaggie said

"Oh Vaggie! It hurts so much!" Charlie cried out.

"It's ok, hon. Pain is just part of the process. Just hold my hand." Vaggie said as she and Charlie sat on the couch. Vaggie held one of her hands to call Charlie's parents and call the limo. She let Charlie hold her hand, which ended up being a mistake.

"Lilith it's me, VagGH!" Vaggie said as she felt her hand getting crushed.

"Get...to...hospital. The baby's ON its WAY!" Vaggie said in pain as Charlie unintentionally kept crushing her hand. Vaggie swore that she felt a bone snap. Vaggie hung up the phone.

"Oh my god! Have you been working AGH! Out?" Vaggie cried out in pain. There was no way Charlie was this strong.

Soon the limo arrived and Angel came down with a bag full of stuff.

"Alright. I got the books Still Life, Caught Dead Handed, and Frog and Toad are friends. Scented candles. A blow up mattress. Soap. Shampoo. Toothpaste and toothbrush. Four plastic containers of orange's. Two changes of clothes. One pair of pajamas for each of you. Two pillows. A flashlight, for some reason. A washcloth. And baby formula." Angel Dust listed off the items in the bag.

"Everything your going to need for three days." Angel Dust said as he looked at the bag and looked at Vaggie.

The trio made their way to the limo and took off towards the hospital.

"AHHH! Holy shit! Let go! Please let me go! I'm begging ya!" Angel Dust begged as Charlie was holding his hands. Well, more like crushing his hands. Vaggie had her hands in a bucket of ice. Her hands were sore and bruising.

"Ah! Help me! Help me! Oh god this is this worst pain I've ever felt!" Angel Dust screamed out and tried pulling out of Charlie's grasp, but to no avail.

"What did I do to deserve this? I mean like, what specifically?" Angel Dust cried out in pain.

They soon arrived at the hospital. Doctors got Charlie into a wheelchair and took her to a room. Angel Dust was dragged along with her since she wouldn't let him go.

(Charlie's hospital room)

"Help me! Please!" Angel Dust begged and cried.

"Oh my god! It hurts so much!" Charlie cried out. Vaggie placed a cool, wet washcloth on Charlie's head.

"Your telling me!" Angel Dust said.

"Hon? Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine. Your mom and dad are on their way over. I'm going to be right here for you." Vaggie said. Angel Dust looked at Vaggie with a look that said he wasn't sure what she was trying to do.

"I'm making this up as I go along. Cut me some slack." Vaggie said as Charlie let out another scream of pain.

"Oh, where's the doctor?" Vaggie asked as a doctor hadn't arrived in the room yet. Suddenly the door flung open and Charlie's mom and dad ran in.

Lucifer has pure white skin, blonde hair, thick black eyebrows, black lips and a mouth full of sharp teeth. His eyes are yellow with red slit pupils resembling those of a snake. He, like his daughter Charlie, has red cheeks. His eyelids are purple which give the appearance of eyeshadow.

He wore a white high collar suit, a black bowtie, and a red undershirt with white stripes. He also wears a wide-brimmed white top hat, with a golden snake and red apple over golden spikes reminiscent a crown. On his left pinkie, he wears a golden ring.

Lilith was presented as a tall, slender, curvaceous woman, exceeding both her husband and daughter in height. She has pale skin, thin eyebrows and silver-grey eyes, long black eyelashes and extremely long, light blonde hair with thick honey blonde streaks reaching down to the floor.

"Charlie! Is everything alright? How's the baby coming along? How are you coming along?" Lucifer asked his daughter.

"AHHHH! It hurts dad! It really hurts!" Charlie cried out in pain.

"Here. You can hold my hand." Lucifer said to his daughter, and offered her his hand.

"No!" Vaggie and Angel Dust said, but it was too late.

"There there AHHHH! Sweet satanic star that hurts!" Lucifer screamed out in pain as his hand felt like it was being crushed by a hydraulic press.

"Oh! Ah! Help me! Help me! This is the worst pain I've ever felt!" Lucifer said as his hand was getting crushed.

"Where's the doctor? Surely they didn't just leave you here." Lilith said.

"Ding ding ding. That's what happened. A nurse said a doctor would be with us shortly, that was an hour ago. Why do you think we put on Wheel of Torture? It ain't because we're trying to drown out the screaming." Angel Dust said and pointed to the TV.

Wheel of Torture, was a simple show. Contestants guess hidden phrases by guessing letters one at a time. Contestants win money or prizes, as determined by a spin of the wheel, for each correct consonant they guess. But they have to pay to see what vowels are in a puzzle. The contestant that has amassed the most winnings at the end of a game goes on to play the bonus round, in which the player can win even more -- prizes frequently seen in the bonus round include automobiles, vacations and more cash.

Charlie let out another scream of pain. Lilith looked at Angel Dust.

"You. Get a doctor in here! Now!" Lilith said to him as she was comforting her daughter.

Angel Dust just shrugged and walked out into the hall. Meanwhile, Lucifer was trying to pry his hand out of Charlie's grasp.

Angel Dust was out for a few minutes before returning with a doctor.

"I'm so sorry I'm late. The hospitals been understaffed and I had ten other patients ahead of you." The doctor explained.

"Just help her please! I understand your busy, but please help!" Vaggie begged the doctor. The doctor cracked his knuckles.

"Alright. Just leave this to me." The doctor said to them and got everything set up.

"Alright. Here we go." He said. The process of labor continued.

"I'm wanna open a Happy Hotel!!!" Charlie cried out in pain. Her fathers eyes widened.

"Wha-AHH AH AH!" Her father cried in pain as his hand was continuously crushed. Charlie continued to scream, until there was another scream that was heard. The scream of a newborn baby boy.

"Congratulations. It's a boy." The doctor said as he wrapped the newborn baby up in a blanket and handed him to Charlie.

Tears of joy filled Charlie's eyes as she held the crying baby boy.

"Hey little guy. I'm your mama." Charlie said to him and kissed his cheek.
