The King and the Overlord: Infernal Bonds

Chapter 29

At the beginning of that new dawn in Hell, Carmilla was waking up, trying to get out of bed. Since her belly began to grow, her mobility had been greatly affected to the point where she had to stop wearing her slippers and switch to regular shoes. It took her quite some time to get used to wearing that type of footwear again. During those five months of pregnancy, she received the best care from Lucifer, who was always attentive to her needs.

There were moments when she looked at herself in the mirror to see her figure. Over time, she began to neglect the care she gave to her appearance due to the fatigue she felt all the time. There were times when she didn't even want to get out of bed to be able to lie down as much as possible. Every time she walked, she felt like her feet were killing her, and she had to sit down all the time.

Whenever possible, Lucifer reminded her of how beautiful she looked, regardless of the changes she was going through. To him, she was still the beautiful Overlord he was about to marry. These moments made her feel happy, they made her feel special to him. But what mattered most to her was the being growing in her belly.

Since she had mentioned her pregnancy to Lucifer, the two of them had to plan how they would break the news to others. It was easy to tell Odette and Emily, they simply showed excitement about having a new family member. Then Lucifer had ordered the construction of their new home for the two of them, which was not well received by her as it felt rushed.

Although it was hard for her to admit, it was true that with this new baby, they would need a more comfortable place for it to grow well. Lucifer's mansion was a rather large and abandoned place that didn't seem like an option with time. Carmilla's residence wasn't either because next to it was the warehouse of angelic weapons. The Hazbin Hotel was out of the question, especially knowing that among the residents were Angel Dust, Alastor, and Niffty.

It only took Lucifer a day for their new home to be ready, a large place for the two of them. He created rooms for their daughters in case they wanted to visit, and the place he focused on the most was the baby's room. The walls were painted with images of each family member, with Emily being the only one living with them since she couldn't stay at the hotel forever. Even their closest friends had a place, and there was a clean wall in case the girl wanted to draw something. From his experience with Charlie, he knew that was something that couldn't be avoided.

With each passing day, Carmilla felt happy knowing she would be a mother again, something she thought would never happen since she was human more than two decades ago. She was going to have to go through those tough moments again because she was alone, but now she had someone who would be with her every step of the way until she gave birth. And she could see how excited Lucifer was with this news. Every time he didn't come to bed to sleep, she found him in his office creating toys for the baby.

Then came the moment when they both discovered they were going to have a girl, something that excited but also disappointed them a bit. For Carmilla, it was fine because she already had experience raising girls, while for Lucifer, it was different. He was still excited about being a father again, but he had hoped for a boy this time.

So, coming back to the present, Carmilla, with difficulty, managed to get out of bed and put on slippers that helped her feel comfortable at home. After that, she began to walk until she reached the kitchen, where, to her surprise, all her daughters were preparing breakfast.

Carmilla: Good morning.

- Good morning, mother.

Charlie: Come and sit down, it's not good for you to be standing for too long.

Carmilla: Thank you.

And as I said, all her daughters were there. After Lilith's revelation in Heaven, she was never heard from again. Charlie was undecided at the time about whether to look for her or not, she still didn't forgive her for all the secrets and lies she told her all her life. And during those times when she needed a mother's support, Carmilla was there and did her best to make her feel comfortable. So, over the months, Charlie got into the habit of calling her "Mom" whenever she saw her.
