Two Times That Rosie Took Care Of Alastor and Niffty

Bringing Home Baby, Cannibal Edition

(A.N.: I wrote this for Radiorose week. I went with prompt Meeting for this one, as it's about everyone at the hotel meeting Alastor and Rosie's daughter)

Just by being born, Ameliè Beleth Bordeaux had made history. She was the first ever hybrid child of a sinner and a Hellborn, and Hell was rife with rumors as to how Alastor, a sinner, had gotten Rosie, a Hellborn pregnant. Some theorised that they had made a deal with a Hellborn in exchange for the ability to produce a child, and others thought that they were lying about Ameliè being a hybrid, and that a Hellborn who looked just like Alastor had gotten Rosie pregnant instead. The doctors at the Cannibal Town Hospital called Ameliè's birth a medical miracle, and they had offered generous sums of money to Alastor and Rosie to allow them to run tests on them both, and figure out exactly how Ameliè had been conceived, but they'd declined it all. No amount of money could convince Alastor to let anyone experiment on him, let alone his wife and daughter.

Rosie was discharged from the Cannibal Town Hospital one week after Ameliè was born. She had had a relatively smooth birth, but even so, Alastor had insisted that she stay at the hotel for a month after the birth so that she could recover, and that he could be there for her and Ameliè.

"Oh my gosh, she's so cute!" Niffty squealed as she laid eyes on Ameliè for the first time. Everyone was crowded around Ameliè, Alastor and Rosie, who were sitting on the couch. Rosie was holding the baby in her arms, and Alastor had his arm around Rosie, holding his wife and daughter close.

"She looks just like her dad," Vaggie said, shrugging. Ameliè had Alastor's red hair and deer ears, but her hair and ears were dappled with white spots. Rosie and the doctors had been alarmed at first, but Alastor had assured them that it was normal for fawns to have white spots. They'd disappear when Ameliè grew up.

"Can I hold her?" Charlie squeaked, barely holding back the urge to squeal at how adorable Alastor and Rosie's baby was. Her tiny deer ears were the cutest things she'd ever seen.

"Of course!" Rosie said warmly, handing the baby over, "There you are, Ameliè. Why don't you say hello to Auntie Charlie?"

Charlie took the baby in her arms, being careful to support her head and neck. She'd only held a few babies in her lifetime, but she knew to be especially gentle with a newborn. "Aww...Hi there, Ameliè! You're so cute!"

She rocked her gently in her arms, and Ameliè squeaked and bleated like the fawn she was. Charlie bit her lip hard, not wanting to scream out loud at how cute the baby's bleats were, lest she frighten her.

"I'm not big on kids, but I'll admit that she's the cutest damn baby I've ever seen," Cherri Bomb remarked as Ameliè twitched her tiny ears.

"How could such an adorable thing come out of Cannibal Mary Poppins and Bambi Todd?" Angel Dust added.

"How could she not be adorable? She's the spitting image of her father!" Rosie chuckled.

"But she has her mother's lovely teeth, my dear," Alastor responded, pulling his wife in closer. Ameliè already had a full set of sharp teeth; cannibal babies were born with full sets of teeth so that they could tear flesh from bones with ease. The doctors had told them that in just one month, Ameliè would be ready for solid food.

Charlie stopped rocking Ameliè once she settled. The baby went quiet, and then started to cry, reaching for her mother as best she could with her tiny hands.

"Oh, no, don't cry," Charlie said quickly, handing her back to Rosie, "Do you want your mommy?"

Rosie held her daughter against her chest. "I think she wants her milk. She needs to be fed every two hours."
