[Month 7]

Lucifer has been running around for the past few weeks. I'm in my seventh month, meaning our baby is due any moment now, and Lucifer is acting like it's the end of the world. Our baby will be due in two more months, he should calm down. But, is it really, my Lucifer if he calms down? He's always been a worrywart.

Currently, I was sitting in the living room and Lucifer was bossing his siblings around, for some reason, I tuned out my husband after he yelled all of their names. They all looked so tired, I honestly would be too.

Beel walked over with a bowl filled with (favorite fruit) mixed in with(favorite ice cream), he yawned and said, "L-Luci...YAAAWWWNNN... Lucifer told me to get you this food." I looked up at him from my seat, poor Beel looked sleep deprived.

"Do you need a nap, Beel?" I asked.

Beel nodded.

"And, some food?"

Beel nodded his head even harder.

"Here, sit down, we can share."

Beel smiled and sat down beside me, I placed the bowl in between us. Beel pulled a spoon out of his pocket and started to eat.

Of course, he carries a spoon in his pocket.

I started to eat with him, the brothers had come over to offer Lucifer help, but I didn't think Lucifer would go commando. I did think that he likes to be the boss of things.

"Beel!"

Beel jumped up, I looked in front of us and saw Lucifer, who looked more exhausted than he usually does. Black bags under his eyes, his hair in a complete mess, and his clothes don't look as tidy as usual.

"Lucifer, why are you running everyone ramped? I'm relaxed, everyone should be relaxed too."

Lucifer said, "(Y/N), the moment I stop running ramped and decide to sit down, is the moment you start crying."

"That only happened once."

"Once every day for two weeks."

"Ah... Well, I won't cry, just you and your brothers fix some food to eat, and we can watch a movie." I smiled

Lucifer sighed, he knew he was being hard on the brothers, and it's my seventh month too, so, of course, he'll be raising the workload to keep me and our baby happy. "You're right. Mammon, Levi, Satan, Asmo, Belphie, come and sit with us!"

And, the brothers came running in, laying across the living room, I heard Mammon snoring loudly. Soon, they all followed him and fell asleep.

I smiled and started to eat, I then felt something heavy lean against my shoulder. I looked to my left and saw Lucifer, my darling husband, asleep on my shoulder.

-----

[Lucifer's POV]

Smash!

My eyes suddenly opened, I looked to my right, and there was no (Y/N), but Mammon. I looked around, no (Y/N) was around, and all my brothers were asleep.

I quickly got up and ran to the source of the sound.

The kitchen!

I ran in and saw (Y/N) clutching the counter, and her hand on her stomach, I could hear her taking deep breaths. And, there was a broken bowl and water over the floor.

I hurried to her, "(Y/N), what's wrong?" I asked her.

She gripped my shirt, and looked at me, with teary (eye color) eyes, "I-I'm going into labor! S-She's coming!"

I felt my eyes widened like they were going to pop out of my head. "No, it's early?"

(Y/N) groaned, "I-I can feel her!"

I nodded, this is no time to be surprised, I picked her up, and rushed out of the kitchen. I hurried upstairs and into our bedroom, I gently placed her on her bed. I pulled her phone out and typed in my birthday, unlocking her phone. I went to her contacts and clicked on Kerri, calling her.

I rushed out of the room and went downstairs to my sleeping brothers.

"(Y/N)! Helloooooo!"

"Kerri, it's me, Lucifer," I said, as I went to the living room. "You have to hurry here, (Y/N) is giving birth. I'll send one of my brothers to come and get you."

I walked into the living room, and took a deep breath, then exhaled, "WAKE UP!" I shouted, making them all shoot up.

"What? It was just starting to get good..." Belphie said, following it with a yawn.

"(Y/N) is in labor, and someone has to pick up Kerri," I told them.

Satan rubbed his eyes, "She has to use the portal... you're the only one out of us with access to the portals."

...I forgot about that. Then, I'll have to leave, (Y/N).

I groaned, "Kerri, I'll come and open the portal for you."

"Who's going to watch, (Y/N)?!" Kerri asked.

"My brothers will be here, helping her out." I said and looked at them, "Make sure everything goes alright, I trust (Y/N) in your hands."

They all nodded and hurried upstairs.

"I'm on the way," I said.

"Okay! I'll head to the portal too!" Kerri said before she hung up.

I hurried upstairs to leave (Y/N)'s phone, so she can call me. I walked into our bedroom, where she was panting, and my brothers were surrounding the bed. I walked to the nightstand beside her side of the bed. "(Y/N), I'll be back. Please, call me if you need anything." I kissed her forehead.

She nodded and smiled, but her smile it seemed so weak, it pulled at my heart.

"Okay, I'll um, try to hold her, so you both make it in time."

I nodded, "take care of yourself, you're so strong, I love you so much."

"I love you too."

I gave her forehead another kiss, before I hurried out of the room and rushed downstairs, and left our house.

I ran over to the portal, pushing and shoving demons out of my way.

It didn't take long to arrive, it was a ten-minute run, and I was at the portal, we usually meet Kerri. I took soft deep breaths, I don't usually get tired from a run, but there's so much happening, and I haven't been able to properly relax, and now I'm running around Devildom.

I exhaled and opened the portal.

"(Y/N)! LET'S GOOOOO!"

Kerri jumped through the portal, with a bag, ready to deliver our baby.

"Yes, let's hurry." I was about to head off when I heard my phone ringing. I picked it up, and saw the name, 'heart'. I picked it up, "(Y/N)? Is everything alri--"

I suddenly heard, a very loud scream, I could feel my eyes widening. "(Y...Y/N)?" I nodded towards Kerri, and we started to hurry towards our home.

"Hey, hey! It's Mammon!"

"Mammon!? What's going on?"

"Well, you see, (Y/N) is-"

"Push! Push!"

Was that Satan shouting "push"?

"What's going on?" I asked.

"(Y/N), is birthing, like pushing that little demon out. Now." Mammon said.

"SHE'S COMING NOW!?"

"Yes."

"Push!" Satan shouted.

"I'm pushing!" (Y/N) shouted, following it with a loud groan.

"Kerri, how fast can you run?" I asked.

Kerri looked at me, "W-well, I was the best track student in my university before they kicked me out for selling potions to students who had been cheated on."

"Okay, then run. We'll be there soon." I hung up my phone, rolled up my sleeves, and started to run, with Kerri surprisingly kind of, sorta keeping up.

It took another ten minutes before we arrived at the house, I opened the door, letting Kerri run in first.

Kerri was panting hard but still seemed energized. "(Y/N)! I'M HERE!" She shouted, before running inside and running up the stairs to our room.

I followed her, I could hear (Y/N)'s pained grunts and screams.

It... hurts me.

Should I have let her give birth to a half-demon? I doubt she knew how tough it would be, I don't even know how tough it would be. But, now that we're here, why do I feel regret? I can hear how much it hurts.

Is childbirth this painful? Or is it because our baby is half demon?

"L-Lucifer!"

I looked up, and saw (Y/N), panting, with her hand reaching for me.

I didn't even notice I was in the room, I got stuck in my head.

I hurried to her, and grabbed her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze, "(Y/N), my wonderful wife, you got this. Bring our daughter home."

"A few more pushes!" Kerri shouted.

I smiled and nodded, I kissed her hand. This is no time to be stuck in my head, to be feeling regret, I have to be here for my wife, the woman who is my heart and soul.

After a few more minutes of (Y/N)'s pushing, we could hear our daughter's cry.

"Here she is..." Kerri opened her bag, pulling out a cloth and a container of water to clean her up, she also pulled out scissors and looked at me.

"Go on." (Y/N) whispered, she must be tired.

I nodded, I gave her hand a soft squeeze before I walked over to Kerri. I grabbed the scissors and cut the umbilical cord. I looked down at our daughter, she's so tiny.

"Can... Can I hold her?" (Y/N) asked.

Kerri nodded, she cleaned up our daughter, before wrapping her in a pink blanket. She got up and placed her in (Y/N)'s arms. "I did well for my first baby delivery!" She smiled, proud.

(Y/N) smiled and nodded, looking down at our daughter. "Welcome home, Lucille Akuma."

I walked over to (Y/N)'s side, and I could see Lucille smiling back at her mother. They smiled the same, but Lucille looked like an exact copy of me. But, her eyes held a kinder look, like (Y/N) when she is talking to my brothers and dealing with our problems.

I want to raise Lucille as a kind and gentle soul, just like (Y/N).

"I'm feeling tired, here, hold our daughter." (Y/N) looked at me, she could barely lift her arms though.

I nodded and picked up Lucille, gently, she must be fragile. "Rest, you worked so hard."

(Y/N) smiled a little, before closing her eyes.

I smiled and looked down at Lucille, she looked so adorable and fragile. She looked up at me, she had my eyes, but the way she smiled at me, she most definitely had (Y/N)'s smile.

Kerri got a wet towel, to gently clean (Y/N)'s sweaty face, she was making sure (Y/N) was alright. I gently poked Lucille's tiny nose. Her smile widened, showing her toothless mouth. "You remind me... of this movie, (Y/N) told me about. A dragon, named Toothless, was enemies with humans but became friends with the human who damaged his tail... Maybe, we can watch the movie, the three of us."

"Uh oh..."

"What? Uh oh?" I looked at Kerri, confused.

"Um..."

I suddenly felt my heart stop as I looked at my wife, she... didn't look well. She didn't look vibrant. She didn't look happy. She looked empty.

Kerri rushed over to her bag, and pulled out an automated external defibrillator [those shock machines doctors/nurses use.]

"(Y/N)...?" I called out to her.

"Come on... (Y/N)!" Kerri removed (Y/N)'s shirt and put pads on her chest. She turned on the machine.

"(Y/N)... Come on. Kerri doesn't need those." I muttered, reaching out and grabbing her hand.

"Luc--"

"(Y/N), I know you're napping, but wake up and see Lucille's smile," I said.

"Lucifer..."

I huffed. "(Y/N)! WAKE UP!" I shouted.

I could feel my whole world, crashing, at this moment, I lost another important person in my life.

Lucille started to cry.

"Lucifer, Lucille is upset, please calm down. (Y/N) is go--"

"I DON'T CARE!" I glared at the witch. "She's just exhausted..."

I then heard the door open, "what's going on?"

I looked at the door, my brothers walked inside.

Kerri looks at them and shakes her head.

"Let me take, Lucille," Kerri said, but I could feel her fear, her sadness, and anger. She couldn't take a step towards me.

Do I scare her?... (Y/N) wouldn't be afraid of me.

"I'll take her..." I could feel Mammon's hands, gently taking away the crying baby.

I held (Y/N)'s hand tight and I closed my eyes, tight. "(Y/N), stop playing around. Mammon, if this is some sick joke, please tell me... Or Satan, Belphi, if this a prank on me, cut it out." I said.

"Lucifer, we're not doing anything," Satan said.

"...(Y/N)... Come on." I begged. "I need you, (Y/N). I'm not going to lose you, I'm not going to let you leave me... (Y/N)."

"Lucifer, you should sit down somewhere," Beel said.

I shook my head, keeping my eyes shut tight, hoping for something to happen. "I'm not leaving her side, I'm not letting go."

"WAKE UP, (Y/N)! PLEASE!" I shouted, feeling tears slip out of my closed eyes, past my eyelids, and down my cheeks.

"She's gone..." Kerri muttered.

"Lucifer... Why is Lucille crying?"

That voice.

I suddenly felt my hand being squeezed tight, I opened my eyes and looked at her. My wife. (Y/N). But, she had a small set of black horns on her head. They were so tiny and cute.

She looked at me, her eyes looked tired. "Why is Lucille crying, Lucifer?" She asked.

Kerri ran over to (Y/N), tears were running down her face. "(Y/N)! You're okay! H-HOW!? You were dead!" She cried out.

"Can I see Lucille?" She asked.

Mammon nodded, he walked over and placed Lucille in her arms. "...I'm happy you're okay."

(Y/N) let go of my hand, and rocked Lucille, calming down our baby. She gives a small and weak smile, "It was decided, I have a family now that needs me and I'm not going to leave ever." She said and looked at me. "Luci, how could you let our daughter cry? You scared her." She huffed.

"I'm...I'm sorry."

"Sorry? You're sorry? Lucille just lost her mother and she needed her father, and you didn't bother to even try to quiet her." She sounded so angry, but most of all, disappointed. (Y/N) wasn't even radiating this human energy anymore. She was radiating a different kind of energy, the energy of a being between angel and demon, but not exactly. But, she still felt the same, (Y/N).

"I'm sorry," I told her, and let out a sigh. "I just..."

She sighs and shakes her head. "You'll make it up to me and Lucille later, but don't worry about it now." She said.

I nodded, I felt ashamed.

(Y/N), the moment she died, the world immediately crashed, I immediately broke down, I already abandoned and let down our newborn. I'm a disappointment. What would I do without her?

My brothers stared at her shocked, that she was alive, but no one said anything.

Lucille smiled and reached up, and I noticed a set of small black horns on the top of her head, and she noticed it too, Lucille grabbed the horns.

(Y/N) laughed, "What are you grabbing on to, Luci?"

Kerri pulled out a mirror, "Your horns." She showed my wife the horns.

(Y/N) looked, "Wooaahh! They're so cute, right, Luci?" She looked at our daughter.

Lucille giggled and smiled, the two seem to already understand each other.

Is this a mother's bond with a child?

I looked at Lucille, she looked so happy with her mother.

I sat in a chair next to the bed, and I carefully reached out for Lucille, but she started to whimper the closer I got. She looked terrified from my freakout.

I smiled at our daughter, "Lucille, I promise, I would never ever make you cry again. And, if I do, I will spoil you for a whole week, and I'll let you do whatever you want to my hair and face. It's my job as your father to protect you, love you, and be there for you. I will never want to hurt you again."

Lucille stared at me before a wide toothless smile appeared on her face and she reached for me. I took her and hugged her gently, "I'm so sorry, so sorry."

I have to admit, over the years of being with (Y/N), I've gotten better at apologizing. Well, to (Y/N) and now, Lucille.

Others would have to kill me for an apology, and they still won't get one.

I looked behind at my brothers, "do any of you want to hold Lucille?"

"..." The brothers were silent.

There's something wrong with them.

"What's wrong?" I asked. "Do none of you want to hold her?"

They all shook their heads, except Mammon.

Mammon laughed and smiled, "Are y'all really that scared to hold a baby? She's a cutie. She's real easy to hold! I held her even when Lucifer was having a meltdown!"

I felt my face getting hot, it was embarrassing my brothers saw me like that.

Mammon looked at our brothers, "She's our niece. We're uncles now!" He gently took Lucille from me, before facing the boys. "...We can't hold grudges against this baby, this is (Y/N) and Lucifer's baby. (Y/N) is here too! She's fine! Yeeaaahh, she got horns now, but whatever, right?! She's still the same old, annoying, (Y/N). Who we all grew to love and cherish."

Mammon looked down at Lucille, and he smiled. "We will grow to love and cherish you too, Lucille. You'll call me Uncle Great Mammon!"

Beel smiled and said, "I can show her... all the best food in Devildom."

Belphie nods, "I heard babies nap a lot, so we can nap together. I have plenty of pillows."

Satan said, "I have plenty of books for her to read, well, when she knows how to read."

"What age can children play video games!? We have to introduce her to the world of gaming early!" Leviathan said.

"I can try out new makeup on her! And, have little fashion shows!" Asmo smiled, as the brothers started to crowd around her.

I sighed and looked down at my hands, "...If you were gone, I don't think I would've known what to do with myself. I don't think I would've been able to take care of Lucille. I don't even think I would be able to look at her or even be in the same room as her. Because... She took away my heart. You're my heart, (Y/N). I love you so much, and if anyone or anything happened to my love, I'd be broken. The moment you... died, I died with you. I couldn't even care for our daughter, the moment you left. I already failed. But, I'm going to spend the rest of our lives, being there for you, her, our family. I will never, give up again. Never."

"Lucifer..." (Y/N) muttered, and I looked at her, she looked like she was about to cry. "I've been selfish... I knew she was going to kill me, but I didn't tell anyone."

We all looked at her shocked.

"I knew, but I just wanted to have Lucille. I wanted to leave a piece of me. I was going to die at some point, because I was a human, I don't live as long as everyone else. You would have urged me to get an abortion. Why would I abort our kid, and never have more again, because it would still be life threatening? I didn't see a point to that... So, why not die and leave a piece of me, that everyone would love, and could live a long time with you all? But, I'm sorry. I was focused on birthing our daughter and my death, but no the effects it would have on you and everyone I love. I didn't think my life was that important, because it's so short."

She wanted to leave behind something, that was more than her. I could tell, (Y/N) now was no longer human, she can live an eternity with us now. But, if she didn't die, Lucille and me, would have outlived her, because she was human. Is this a blessing in disguise?

Kerri started sobbing loudly and grabbed (Y/N). "I'M SORRY TOO!! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER FRIEND AND TRIED EVERYTHING TO KEEP YOU AND LUCILLE SAFE!! I'M NOT EVEN A DOCTOR!"

(Y/N) laughed and hugged her, "You are the best of best friends! I know it was killing you not to tell anyone! You tried your best and did amazing, I'm so happy, Lucille is safe and okay!"

Kerri wiped away her tears and stood up, "Of course! But, I'll always keep your secrets, you can count on me."

"Oh yeah, speaking of secrets." I looked at my wife, "No more keeping secrets, especially life-threatening ones like this. I know you were worried about what I'd say, but we could think through and look for the best solution together."

(Y/N) nodded, "Of course, I'll never keep a secret from you again."

Lucille started to cry, Kerri looked at her, "Oh! Feeding time!" She looked at the brothers, "Um, leave."

The brothers said, "Oh! Yeah!" They all left, and I handed Lucille over to (Y/N).

(Y/N) lifted her top and held Lucille to her nipple.

I leaned over and kissed her forehead, and watched her feed our daughter.

I'm happy, I didn't lose (Y/N). But, I am ashamed, of how I already abandoned Lucille the moment (Y/N) died. But, how did (Y/N) come back this time?
