Alastors pov

"Now darling it's time for bed" I carried the little girl to her bedroom.

"Tell me a story Mr alastor" she asked as I tucked her into bed.

"Hmm how about I tell you one of my favourite" I smiled.

"Yeah" she nodded excited.

"Alright this is a story my mother would tell me when I was your age" I booped her nose "this is a story about a young boy by the name of robin hood. He was a thief with a heart of gold. He stole from the rich and gave to the poor. He never kept a cent of it himself. After all taking care of his own community was far more important-" I was cut off by her light snores. I smiled as I stoked her hair "goodnight dear"

I stepped outside to see Lucifers face "you really are a convincing storyteller. Even I was taken in"

"Well I'm happy I could entertain you mr morningstar" I bowed deeply.

"I really got to thank you alastor" he smiled softly "thanks to you my little girl made a new friend and is a little less lonely"

"I only gave her a few tips, the rest was all her" I smiled politely.

"Still it makes me so happy to see her making friends. You're really good with her. Hiring you was the best choice I ever made" his last line was cut off a yawn. Now that I look at him he does look exhausted.

"Perhaps Charlie isn't the only one needing her bed" I smiled knowingly.

"No time to sleep, I have so much work to get through-"

"And it can all be done at a later time. Your work won't be at its best if you're sleep deprived" I took his hand and gently led him to bed.

"Since when did you become my babysitter" he chuckled as I led him to bed. I smiled to myself.

Strangely enough I don't mind looking after him...
