Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel, What If?

The Hard Knock Life Part 2

The sweetest, secretly married couple in Lust; Asmodeus and Fizzarolli were getting the penthouse decorated for Christmas. Of course, they have celebrated Christmas before as a couple but this was the first year that they are celebrating as a married couple. Asmodeus had taken the day off from work which meant that he could spend more time with his Fizzie-Frog. Both Fizz and Asmodeus made sure to give each other perfect gifts this year. Fizz even bought little gifts for his pet quieves so they didn't feel left out. However, the one thing they both wanted the most, was a child.

Fizz had been to some of the best doctors in Lust to see if it was possible but they all said that because of the damage from the explosion done to Fizz, he couldn't have children. That broke his heart hearing the news; Asmodeus comforted him for three days after the news. He promised Fizz that they would have a family someday. Fizz was still heartbroken that he couldn't have children with his husband. He always wanted to be a father or mother to a child; while he had Cash as a father figure, he wanted to be better than him. He knew that Cash treated Barb and Blitzo poorly when they were kids and he wanted to be a parent that a kid could be proud of.

Meanwhile, in the lower part of the penthouse, little Abigail and Oliver had snuck inside after they hitched a ride in one of the trucks from Ozzie's factory. They made sure to grab their bags before sneaking inside. The two imps made sure that no one saw them, well mostly Abigail making sure that no one saw them, and decided to send them back to Greed. She heard Oliver's stomach and her stomach growl. They needed to find food. Abigail noticed an elevator just a few feet from them then she and Oliver snuck inside the elevator. Abigail pressed the button on the elevator that led to the penthouse floor.

When the elevator arrived at the top floor, Abigail and Oliver quickly got out of the elevator. Abigail started sniffing the air and she smelled something wonderful. "Ollie, I smell food. Come on," she said to Oliver.

The two imps followed the smell of food to the kitchen. On the table was a big stack of pancakes, bacon, eggs, and French toast. Without thinking, Oliver ran up to the table, took a few pancakes, and started to stuff his face. Abigail then grabbed a few pieces of bacon and stuffed them into her mouth. It was the first real meal that they had eaten in a long time. Suddenly, they heard voices from the living that sounded like someone was coming. Abigail ran to find a place to hide but Oliver continued to grab pieces of food. Abigail kept gesturing to Oliver to hide but he didn't want to leave the food.

She heard the voices getting closer then she just hid from them. When Asmodeus brought Fizzarolli to the kitchen for breakfast, they both stopped short. They saw little Oliver who was eating more of the pancakes. He stopped eating when he saw who was staring at him. "You're Fizzarolli! I'm a big fan!" Oliver signed to Fizzarolli.

Fizzarolli smiled at Oliver then he signed for him to come over. Oliver suddenly ran towards Fizzarolli and hugged his idol tight. Fizz's maternal instincts kicked in and he started grooming Oliver's hair, being careful with his broken horns. "Aww. Now how did this adorable little imp get in here?" Asmodeus said, cooing at Fizzarolli's actions.

But when he reached out to touch Oliver, Fizzarolli immediately hissed at Asmodeus to back off. Fizzarolli snapped out of it, "Sorry hun. Instincts." Fizzarolli stated.

Abigail peeked out from behind the large fridge to see what was going on. She was shocked to see that Oliver was hugging the famous jester, Fizzarolli, and standing beside him was the king of Lust, Asmodeus. Her big sister instincts jumped in and she came out of hiding. She hissed like a cat and tried to grab Oliver. Fizzarolli reacted to Abigail's angry hiss and let out a low growl thinking that she was gonna harm his kit. Asmodeus had to step in and stop them from attacking each other. "Honey, honey, calm down," Asmodeus said.

"Get away from my brother!" Abigail shouted.

Oliver got out of Fizzarolli's arms and ran to Abigail. "Abby. Please don't. Mr. Fizzarolli was just being nice." Oliver signed, begging for Abigail to back off.

"You can't trust adults Oliver." Abigail stated, "They'll send us back to the orphanage in Greed."

Fizzarolli's expression softened upon hearing what Abigail had just said. "Greed? Then how did you two...?"

"We ran away. The caretakers were gonna send Oliver away to a psych ward in Sloth because of his hearing disability. We only have each other. Please don't send us back. We didn't mean to break in." Abigail begged.

"Easy there kiddo. We're not gonna send you back." Fizzarolli assured Abigail.

"Wh...What? Why? No one wants us because of Oliver's disability and my smart mouth." Abigail stated.

Then Fizzarolli did something unexpected; he took off his jester hat to reveal his broken horns. "Because I know what it's like to be unwanted."

"And we're not abandoning you two. Sweetie, you and Oliver can stay for as long as you want. We have plenty of room." Asmodeus assured.

For the first time in a while, Abigail smiled; she could trust Fizzarolli and Asmodeus. Oliver then signed to Fizzarolli that he wanted to be a clown just like him. Fizzarolli was flattered by Oliver's dream and Fizz even put his jester hat on Oliver. "Just a little something for my biggest fan." Fizzarolli signed.

Oliver smiled big then he hugged Fizzarolli again. Oliver managed to make a small purr, and Fizz rumbled back with one of his own, smoothing stray tufts of hair down with his tongue. He knew Oliver wouldn't be able to hear it, but he hoped by pressing the impling to his chest, he'd be able to feel the vibrations as Fizz responded to him. Abigail suddenly felt a strong pair of arms pick her up. Asmodeus suddenly hugged her being gentle and careful not to hurt her. "You have a name kiddo?" he asked.

"Abigail. But Oliver likes to call me Abby." Abigail answered.

"A beautiful name for a beautiful little girl," Asmodeus stated.

Abigail blushed when Asmodeus called her beautiful. No one thought that she was beautiful, most of the kids at the orphanage thought that she was ugly. Asmodeus then set her down on one of the chairs at the dining table. Her mouth was still drooling seeing the food on the table. "I'm glad someone else likes my cooking," Asmodeus stated.

"You cooked all this?" Abigail asked, "I thought all royals had servants to do that."

Asmodeus chuckled at Abigail's statement, "While that's true, I prefer to do things myself. Also, it helps because Fizzy burns everything he cooks." Asmodeus said, whispering the last part to her.

"I heard that Oz," Fizzarolli said, playing along. "And I don't burn everything. It was just the water."

Abigail let out a few giggles then she saw that Asmodeus had filled a plate for her with French toast, eggs, and bacon. She looked up at him, asking if this was all for her. He told Abigail that she could eat as much as she wanted. Abigail didn't hesitate to gobble down the food on her plate. Asmodeus even set up a plate for Oliver as well. Oliver climbed up onto the chair and started eating as well. This was the beginning of their new lives.
