Oh baby pt 10

Saying Lucifer was stressed is an understatement. Marie is almost a year old and has yet to say her first word. He had no clue when babies said their first word. Charlie was about ten months old, but he was sure Nephilim/Nephalim were more advanced than most babies. She also had yet to walk, refusing to do anything but fly from place to place.

"Come here, Marie." He was across the radio demon's room, trying unsuccessfully to get her to walk. "No, Marie, hunny with your feet." He grabbed her from the air and spun around. "You know where your feet are, right? Can you say feet?"

"I don't know why you're trying to push her. She will do so in her own time."

"Al, shouldn't she be talking already?"

"No clue."

"Al, please."

"As much as I'd love to hear you beg, shouldn't we be preparing for an extermination or perhaps the meeting you have today?"

"Charlie is doing the meeting, she insisted. Something about Adam's progress."

Lucifer sat on the floor near the chair Alastor had been reading in, cradling Marie to himself. Alastor himself traded, which had been holding his book, to run his hand unconsciously through the angel's hair. He stopped the moment he realized what he was doing and let it rest on the arm of the chair. Lucifer picked his hand up and put it back on his head.

"I didn't say to stop."

"I didn't ask to continue." He did continue his petting.

"Well, I'm the king of hell, so."

"You don't seem to want to be king of the bedroom."

Lucifer choked at that response. "Excuse me, I could be the king of the bedroom!"

Marie wiggled in his hands, trying to grab Alastor's hand on his head, huffing when she couldn't reach him. Lucifer tried to calm her down with some quiet shushing. "MmmmAMa"

"What?" her fathers say simultaneously.

"Mmmm." She looked at Alastor with wide eyes brimmed with tears. "Mamm,"

"No."

"Al, she called you mama!!" Lucifer jumps up and spins her around again. The baby is very unhappy with being taken farther from her intended target and bites into Lucifer's arm. Almost dropping her, he scolded, "Bad, Marie, we do not bite." Turning to Al, "She's your daughter."

"Does this count as blood before Eight?"

"Yes! No! Maybe?"
"Hmmm, well, we have to talk about that later now, won't we?"

Lucifer glared back. "You've become a monster."

"I've always been one." He put his book down, folding his hands onto his knee.

"MAMA!"

"No."

"Alastor! Come on, don't discourage her talking."

"I am not her mother. I am her father."

"Mamamamama."

Lucifer walked over, holding her out for him to pick her up. The demon just raised his eyebrows, waiting.

"Mama,"

Lucifer pulled her to rub their cheeks together. "How about Papa?"

"That would be suitable."

"Come on, Marie, say Papa." Lucifer had a full smile covering his face, his body practically vibrating.

"Pamamama."

Finding this close enough, Alastor brought her into his lap, tapping her nose. "No more biting without asking first."

"How about no more biting at all?"

"Lucifer, Don't take the fun out of it."

Lucifer's response was to shake his head in his hands. He went to the side of the chair, resting his hand on the demon's shoulder, basking in the fact that the other had let him touch him more as the months passed. He still disliked being touched in front of others, but the king of hell was getting better at reading the minor signs he would make.

The demon hummed, "Luci, I was thinking before the extermination, we should have a... date."

"Okay, Loving the nickname, loving the idea, but what were you thinking? Angel and Charlie would love more time with Marie and be willing to watch her."

"A few months ago, I made you food, but you hid from me, and I couldn't find you to give it to you." He paused. "I would like to make a meal for you and then see how the night goes, as they say."

"Al, I would love that. When would you like to do it?"

"I would have to arrange a few things, two days from now? Also, I would like it if Rosie was the one to watch Marie. She hasn't had a chance to bond with Marie. She is my best friend. I trust her."

"Yeah, Okay, if you trust her, I will too." Lucifer took the baby as the demon stood, heading towards the door.

"I'll be back, so don't wait to sleep." The angel could feel the blush on his face. They didn't sleep together but had a tradition of making out a little before going to their separate beds. As it was getting late, he put Marie in her Moses basket and pulled over the net they had attached to it to prevent her from flying out.

"Come on, Marie, let's get you a bath before bed, Yeah? Would you like that?"

"MMMMMMammmp"
