The days passed. The tension and excitement were palpable as everyone awaited the arrival of the new life Angel Dust was carrying.

Angel Dust had been feeling off for a couple of days. The spider demon had been experiencing occasional cramps and a sense of restlessness. However, he chose to ignore the early symptoms, not wanting to alarm anyone or disrupt the fragile peace they had managed to establish.

One evening, as Angel lay on the couch, trying to distract himself with a magazine, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen. He winced, trying to hide his discomfort as he shifted in his seat. Husk, who had been watching him from across the room, immediately noticed the change in Angel's demeanor.

The cat demon walked over, his brow furrowed with concern. "You okay, Angel? You've been acting a bit strange lately."

Angel forced a smile, hoping to downplay his discomfort. "Yeah, just a bit tired. You know how it is."

Husk wasn't convinced. He sat down beside Angel, his eyes scanning him carefully. "You sure? You've been shifting around a lot and wincing. Is it the baby?"

The spiders facade cracked for a moment as another wave of pain hit him. He clutched his belly, trying to breathe through it. "It's nothing, Husky. Really."

Husk's concern deepened. "Angel, don't try to tough it out. We need to tell Lucifer and Dr. Baal. They're here to help."

Despite his reluctance, Angel knew Husk was right. The pain was becoming more frequent and intense. Reluctantly, he nodded. "Okay, fine. Let's go find them."

Husk helped Angel up, supporting him as they made their way through the hotel. The spider demon leaned heavily on him, the pain making it difficult to walk. By the time they reached the common area, Angel was struggling to keep his composure.

Lucifer and Dr. Baal were in the common area, discussing preparations for the birth. They looked up as Husk and Angel approached, immediately noticing the distress on Angel's face.

"Angel, what's wrong?" Lucifer asked, his voice filled with concern.

Dr. Baal stepped forward, his professional demeanor taking over. "Let's get you to a more comfortable place and take a look."

Husk and Lucifer helped Angel to a nearby room that had been set up for this purpose. Angel lay down on the bed, trying to steady his breathing as Dr. Baal began his examination.

Dr. Baal's expression grew serious as he examined Angel. "You're experiencing early labor symptoms, Angel. We need to act quickly to ensure both you and the baby are safe."

Angel's eyes widened with fear. "Is everything going to be okay?"

Lucifer placed a reassuring hand on Angel's shoulder. "We're here with you, Angel. Dr. Baal is the best there is. We'll take care of you."

Dr. Baal nodded. "You're in early labor. We'll need to monitor you closely and prepare for the C-section. It's important to stay calm and let us take care of everything."

The room was filled with a tense atmosphere as everyone prepared for what was to come. Dr. Baal swiftly, setting up equipment and monitoring Angel's condition closely. Husk stayed by Angel's side, holding his hand and offering words of comfort.

"You're going to be fine, Angel," Husk murmured, his voice steady despite the fear in his eyes. "We're all here for you."

Angel squeezed Husk's hand, drawing strength from his presence. "I'm scared, Husky. But I trust you."

Lucifer stepped closer, his usual commanding presence softened by concern. "Angel, you're strong. We'll get through this together."

As the hours passed, Angel's early labor symptoms continued, the contractions becoming more frequent and intense.
