Hazbin and Helluva Shorts III

The Daughter of Valentino

Valentino and Elvira had only been married for a year. But they were already living together in his mansion. However, she occasionally stayed at her place and spent time at her mafia HQ to run things. He didn't mind. Valentino knew she could handle herself. Though, he did learn what loneliness was. And it sucked. Elvira like to suddenly show up unannounced and surprise him by coming in the middle of the night. During such nights, he slept light and woke up every time. It pissed him off a bit. And what immediately followed next was expected. But what followed later as a result of these nights led to something neither was ready for.

Elvira realized she was pregnant one day after the casino was closed for the day. In a rare (yet mild) panic, she called Valentino. He dropped everything and rushed to pick her up. Without any hesitation, he took her for a checkup. And it was confirmed. Elvira was going to have a child. Being a moth, it wouldn't be long. But neither parent was prepared. The doctor had quite a bit of reasonable doubt regarding their abilities to raise a child. But this was also Hell. It wasn't like any good and proper parents were in the limelight. So, Valentino took Elvira home and instructed his managers to run the studios for a week while they figured things out.

Sure enough, Elvira gave birth three months later. It was a girl. Valentino suggested they name her Maria, and his wife agreed. After a few days in the hospital, he brought them home. One of the spare rooms had been turned into a simple nursery. It didn't have all the baby care supplies yet. But there were all the necessities, from a crib and clothes to toys and a monitor hooked up to their phones. Over the next few days, it was a new experience unlike any other. Valentino and Elvira learned a lot. Maria grew to be an energetic and lively girl. She was beautiful and quickly learned how to fly. Before long, Valentino had a completely new outlook on being more than some sleazy businessman. It was time to step up.

Maria was a born fighter. She was feisty, sassy, and classy. Valentino noticed her natural talent for weaponry by her tenth birthday. He started her off with a water gun and bo staff. Before long, she had a large arsenal with a wonderful selection. She had something for every occasion. When she was old enough, Maria began training to work security at her dad's place.

Valentino supported her. However, he was also her father. As such, he didn't let her work on busier nights. The experienced guards became her new mentors and taught her everything. Within a few months, Maria could throw out the big guys. And her wings helped with staying out of range of punches. It was great fun. And a great excuse to kick some ass.

Maria became a brawler and also helped out at her mom's casino. As an establishment with more high-class patrons, the job was more serious. And training was on another level. But Maria did it. She quickly surpassed the current guards and was even qualified to run security after a while. And the handful of free tokens each month helped. Soon, she got friends into the games, and they eventually got into the business themselves. Maria was a great marketing gal too. She helped spread the word about her parents' businesses. Soon, demons from the other rings swung by to check the places out. Many of them became loyal customers and made the enterprises more popular. Everyone had one Hell of a damn good time.

Maria got into a few street fights in her free time and eventually took up martial arts. While it did concern her parents, it was better than back-alley bouts and turf wars. Plus, it helped with working security. So, they let her throw all the punches and kicks. Maria earned one black belt after another. Valentino and Elvira were very proud of their little girl. She had grown from a small child into a beautiful yet powerful moth demoness. She had Valentino's devilish charisma and Elvira's sweet charms. It made for a deadly combination.
