Mother's Day
A/N: Thanks to Renowned-Wolf for helping with a couple things.
Scene opens on you in the Hotel lobby with IMP, Verosika's crew, and the Hotel crew.
You take a long swig of your third beer as everyone else looks a little concerned.
Loona: Puppy, I've usually not one to judge how much someone else drinks, but are you sure you're feeling ok?
Y/N: (a little slurred) Yeah, I'm fine. ...I'm fine! I just get a little out of it on Mother's Day is all, considering mine was a terrible person who abused me for years.
You stand up and stumble a little before Verosika gently makes you sit back down.
Y/N: ...Wasn't I just standing?
Charlie: Y/N, I know that your mother treated you horribly when she was alive, but now that she's had some time to reflect on her actions, do you think that you could maybe make ame-
Angel and Vaggie both make the "cut it out" gesture.
Y/N: Look, Charlie, I know your heart's in the right place, but that thing that called itself my mother for years, and any other abuser, never deserves forgiveness.
Charlie: I understand. I won't push it.
You take a deep breath before there's knocking on the door.
Y/N: Is anyone expecting anyone?
Everyone shakes their heads as the knocking becomes louder and more persistent.
Charlie: It *could* be someone wanting to redeem themselves?
She and Vaggie answer the door, the latter with her spear at the ready, seeing Victoria standing outside.
Y/N: (shocked sober) O_O
Alastra: (glaring)
Charlie: Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, Ma'am. How can we-?
Victoria brushes past them before Vaggie movies to intercept her.
Vaggie: (pointing her spear) Look, lady. You can't just show up here without saying why. Now, what do you want?
Victoria: (scanning the room) Just looking for someone important.
Her eyes fall on you.
Victoria: (fake cheerful) Y/N!
Y/N: Mom?!
Victoria and Millie: Yes?
The two of them glare at each other.
Victoria: He was talking to his mother, not...whatever you're supposed to be? A servant?
Millie: Feral Imp noises
Pan back to you.
You are shown trying to contain a tremor in your hand as you set your glass back down and a few beads to sweat role down your forehead.
Charlie notices your hand shaking.
Charlie: (concerned) Y/N.
Millie: (concerned) Baby?
Vaggie gently grasps your trembling hand.
Loona wraps her arms around you from behind as Husk readies her playing cards.
Loona whispers in your ear.
Loona: Remember, Puppy, you're not helpless and we're all here for you.
You nod and glare at your mother with a steely resolve.
Y/N: What are you doing here, m-...Victoria?
Victoria: (acting innocent) What, a mother can't check in on her son every now and then and make sure he's ok?
Everyone else glares at her with untrusting looks.
She walks a little closer. Loona, Tex, and Roxy wrap their tails around you protectively and snarl at Victoria.
Y/N: I've been fine, Victoria. In fact, I've been my happiest these past couple years without you in my life.
Victoria: (fake apologetic) Y/N, look, I know in the past I've...done some things that may have led you to not have the best opinion of me.
Verosika: (under her breath) Understatement of the fucking century,
Victoria: But I'm here to (trying not to gag) improve myself and be better...
Y/N: (sarcastic) Sure you are. (regularly) Look, Victoria. I don't want or need you here. I've got enough on my plate without you making me worthless again like you did for most of my life.
Victoria: (chuckling) You may think that, dear, but Hell is a dangerous place.
Y/N: Yeah, I know that! And I've been able to survive here for months without you!
Millie: It's true. Y/N's quite the impressive young man. (climbs up to your shoulder) We're all *very* proud of him.
You put your hand on top of hers while Victoria growls.
Victoria: (forced smile) Well, with the new extermination coming soon, I just thought I'd help out and-
Y/N: Don't need it.
A chandelier crashes to the floor.

A/N: Stop at 1:50
Victoria: Ha ha ha. Alright then...
Haha! Looks like you some help, from the top bitch of Hell herself! Check out Mommy's glowing reviews on yelp!
Andrealphus Puppet: Five stars!
Stella Puppet: Flawless!
Crimson Puppet: Greater than great!
Victoria: With a punch of a pentagram! A wap, bap, boom, alakazam! Usually I charge a sacrificial lamb. But you get the family rate! (forcing your mouth to move) "thanks, mom!"
Who needs a waitress now that you've got the chef? (woah) Michelin tasting menu, free a la carte. I'll rig the game for you because I'm the ref! Champagne fountains, caviar mountains, that's just to start!
Millie: Who's been here since day one? Who's been faithful as a Nun? Makes you chuckle with an Old Western pun? Your new hellish mother!
Y/N: That's true!
Millie: I'm your gal, your day to day, your chum, we're like mentor/mentee. Remember when I fixed that clog today?
Moxxie: I was stuck! Thank you, ma'am!
Y/N: Oh, you.
Millie: I'm truly honored that we've built such a bond!
Y/N: Aww!
Millie: You're like the child that I wish I brought on!
Victoria: Uh, what?!
Millie: I care for you just like a son that I spawned!
Victoria: Hold on now!
Millie: It's a little funny, you can always call me "Mom"!
Victoria: (pissed off fiddle playing)
Millie: (pissed off piano playing)
Victoria: (pissed off accordion playing)
Millie: They say when you're looking for assistance-
Visual shows you struggling to hold up a book that says "Human". Two more drop down that say "deranged psychos" and "impending genocide".
Millie: It's smart to pick the path of least resistance!
She kicks the books off your back.
Victoria: Others say that in your needy hour, there's no substitute for pure Hell Girl Boss power! Who just happens to also be your blood!
Millie: Sadly, there are times a birth parent is a dud! They say the family you choose is better!
Victoria: What a bunch of losers!
Millie: Can you butt out of my song?
Victoria: Your song?! I started this!
Millie: I'm singing it, I'll finish it!
Victoria: Oh, you country piece of- !
Something else falls.
Victoria: Ugh, this is fucking stupid! (completely fed up) The whole reason I came here was so that I could steal your stupid amulet and-
She notices everyone else giving her death glares.
Victoria: ...(nervous chuckle) Did I say that out loud?
Niffty climbs up her back and rips a clump of fur off her throat.
Victoria: OW! What the fuck?!
Niffty: For my collection! (giggles maniacally)
Victoria notices you advancing on her.
Victoria: (sweating) Now, Y/N. Sweetie...
A tentacle lashes out and wraps around her throat.
Y/N: *Don't* call me that!
You lift her up into the ceiling and sling-shot her back to the ground. As Victoria tries to get her bearings, you run at her and hit her with a roundhouse kick, knocking her to the ground again.
She snarls and slashes at you with her claws before you dodge and punch her in the face.
Y/N: You've never been a mother to me! You've been an abusive bitch my entire life, and now you're just here because you wanted my amulet.
Victoria growls and lunges before Vaggie jumps in front of you and hits her in the nose with the blunt end of her spear.
Victoria: Wolf Whimper
Vaggie: Don't you *fucking* touch him.
Before Victoria can recover, Loona, Tex, and Roxy all pounce on her, slashing her with their claws and viciously biting her.
Victoria manages to free herself before one of Husk's cards explodes in her face, knocking her back, as one of Alastra's minions climbs on her and pulls on her hair while Millie stabs her with a dagger.
Victoria desperately frees herself, and bumps into Charlie in her panic. Victoria falls on the ground and sees Charlie glaring at her in her full demon form.
Victoria: O_O. (ears flatten)
Charlie: I'm only going to say this once. (grabs Victoria by the throat) Get the fuck out of my Hotel!
She tosses Victoria towards a window. You hit her with a spell and she crashes through, flying off into the sky with her screams fading in the distance.
Y/N: Well, I've had worst Mother's Days. At least this time, she got what she deserv-
You're cut off as Charlie tightly hugs you, knowing what you went through for years after meeting Victoria. You reciprocate.
Transition to a little while later.
Tex and Roxy approach Verosika with wrapped gifts.
Verosika: What's all this for?
Roxy: (nonchalant) Just open them.
Verosika opens them, revealing a mug with her on it and a locket with a picture of Her, Tex, and Roxy that says "One Helluva Mom".
Verosika's eyes well up with tears of joy as she pulls the two of them into a hug.
You walk up to Millie and show her a wrapped gift of your own.
Millie:
She opens it to reveal a keychain of the two of you standing back to back holding guns with triumphant smirks.
Y/N: (nonchalant) You don't have to read to much into it. You've just been there for me when Victoria never was, and-
Millie jumps up and hugs you around the neck while giving you a motherly kiss on the cheek.
Millie: Thank you, baby!
Y/N: (hugging her back) Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
End of Chapter. Next; Oops.
