"Fuck! Get her on the bed!" Charlie ordered as Alastor immediately lifted your unconscious body from the floor and up and on to the bed.

"She'll need some fluids and blood transfusion immediately!" Charlie threw a blood bag at Alastor.

"Hook that up to her." She ordered, getting the other bits ready.

Alastor wasted no time hooking the blood up to your veins.

"Where'd you get angelic blood from?" Alastor questioned.

"Vaggie." Charlie shrugged. "Had to pin her down, of course. I always have something for emergency Al."

Alastor sighed as Charlie did the rest.

"I'm gonna start removing her placenta and getting her cleared down there. You're more than welcome for her to heal on her own, or you can heal her. She has torn, which does require stitches, but... I'll leave that decision to you."

Alastor took a thought for a moment. You entrusted him making any decisions for you. "I'll heal her. She hates feeling vulnerable and bed bound."

"Ok, let's me do this part. Just take a breather for a moment Al, you've seen a lot of her blood and more about to come out." Charlie reassured. "I know blood doesn't bother you, but this is your wife here and I don't want you punching me for doing my job."

For once, the overlord did not put up a fight.

Alastor quietly exited the room, gently closing the door behind him. He slid down the wall, his hands in his hair.

"Al?"

Alastor peered up seeing the others looking at him with wide eyes.

His red shirt was stained of your golden blood. His hands covered by helping Charlie to stop the bleeding.

"Is she..."

"No... she's fine. I just needed a moment." Alastor mumbled.

"And the baby?" Nifty asked, staring at the overlord with her innocent one eye. Alastor smiled softly at her. "She's fine, Nift."

"What happened?" Angel frowned as Alastor stared down at himself.

"She lost a lot of blood, but Charlie has got it under control once she's finished in there. I will then heal (Y/N) so her recovery is speedy and painless."

"Fuck..." Angel whispered.

"Strong women you have there." Husk smiled lightly.

"Indeed, I just wish she knew that herself." Alastor sighed resting his head back against the wall.

Few hours later

As you gradually regained consciousness, you took a moment to survey your surroundings, allowing your vision to adjust and take in the scene before you.

Alastor was seated in a rocking chair, gently holding and soothing your child. He softly hummed a lullaby while rhythmically swaying back and forth, one leg resting comfortably on his knee.

You smiled gently at the scene. As Alastor sensed someone watching, his crimson eyes met yours.

"My dear, you are awake." He smiled as he rose from the chair.

"How's our daughter?" You responded weakly.

"Doing wonderful." Alastor whispered as he handed her over. You cautiously took her in your arms as Alastor sat beside you, you rested your head against his shoulder gazing down at her.

Alastor gave you a gentle kiss on the top of your head and a reassuring rub on your arm.

"She's so beautiful." You choked as you looked up to your husband. Alastor was smiling finally glad you could experience this despite the birth going wrong. He was pleased you pushed through it.

As you gazed down at your daughter, Alastor observed the sorrowful expression in your eyes.

"Darling?.." He whispered.

"I... If I had her when I was alive, I would have died during childbirth. I would not have been able to hold her like this. I suppose my body was truly incapable of handling pregnancy after all," you murmured softly.

Alastor briefly considered the matter with a furrowed brow.

Suddenly, you realised that your daughter had taken on a more human appearance, embodying a perfect blend of your own features and those of Alastor. As you gazed down, you noticed your natural (h/c) hair, and upon looking up, you found yourself in a room that closely resembled your bedroom back home. Tears welled up in your eyes as you met your husband honey-coloured gaze.

"Al..."

He was smiling sadly at you. "I understand that this is not the same, and I took this moment away from you... so for a moment, I would like us to enjoy this. As a family of 3, something we should have had and should have experienced a long time ago." Alastor said as you felt tears roll down your cheeks.

"I love you..." You whispered. "I love you too." He softly spoke as you closed the distance, sharing a gradually passionate kiss. You then gently pulled away as you both gazed lovingly at yours and his daughter in your arms.

"Oh my goodness..." Charlie whispered as Vaggie was smiling slightly at you both. "They're so stunning..." The princess exclaimed.

"What you both staring at?" Angel said, stepping between the two demons wrapping an arm around their shoulders.

Angel took the scene in. "Oh I still wanna fuck that." "Angel." Charlie scowled pulling him away so he wouldn't ruin yours and Alastor moment.

"What? He's hot." Angel grinned.

Charlie rolled her eyes at that. "I must admit, for a serial killer, he was quite handsome, which may explain why he was never suspected." Vaggie sighed in annoyance, not wanting to further inflate his ego.

"I find it quite intriguing that you perceive me as aesthetically pleasing."

Charlie yelped as Vaggie jumped. Alastor was standing there, having reverted to his demon form.

"God dammit Alastor stop doing that!" Charlie whined. Alastor grinned looking at Vaggie then to Angel.

"I'll still tap that." Angel said.

Charlie elbowed him in the gut to shut him up.

Alastor rolled his eyes. "Is there any reason you were being curious? I would like my dear belle to get some rest without people staring in our room, thank you."

"No, we're leaving now." Charlie smiled.

"Wait a minute." Angel said stopping the ovelord from going back inside.

"Yes?" He sighed.

"What's her name?"

Alastor paused for a moment before a small smile appeared on his face.

"It's (D/N)," he proudly said. "Her middle name, Taria."

"Taria?" Vaggie questioned.

"A blend of our mothers name." He hummed.

"Oh, that's so beautiful." Charlie whispered, her eyes began tearing up.

"Ok... let's get you to bed." Vaggie chuckled.

Angel smiled at that and walked away with an emotional princess.

Alastor closed the door behind him.

You had fallen asleep with a smile on your face.

Alastor smiled softly before looking down at the little fawn who was wide awake and vocalising in the crib.

"You, my little darling, have caused so many heartbreaks for your mother. I'm just glad you're finally here now." Alastor sighed, picking her up.

(D/N) let out a cooing sound and smiled at her father with her beautiful crimson eyes.

Alastor gently held her close to his chest, his heart feeling whole again.
