||~Angel~||

All Angel could remember in his drowsy state were panicked voices, machines being hooked to his body, and Alastor telling him he will be okay with his toothy smile, clearly distressed.

Exhaustion has made its way to Angel's mind, and he just wanted to let go. To fall into the darkness.

He felt safe.
He felt at ease.
Then..
He felt like shit.
He felt rage simmering beneath his skin.

He wanted to destroy Valentino, even though he already is dead. He couldn't move his body, nor could he open his eyes.

Valentino was going to hurt his daughter.
Valentino would have turned his daughter into a mindless whore.
Valentino...
Valentino..
Valentino.

||~Alastor~||
Holding his baby close to his chest, Alastor watched the heart monitor beep with every beat of his beau's heart.

"Al!? What happened!?" Charlie screamed, staring at Angel who was a bloody mess, and at Alastor, who held a baby in his hand with blood on his fingertips.

"Angel. Help, now." Was all the stag said before Vaggie tried to take the baby, to which Alastor reacted very badly to.

"You almost bit Vaggie's hand off because she tried to take your baby, Alastor! My girlfriend!" Charlie had been scolding Alastor for the past three hours.

Three hours he's been waiting for Angel to wake up.
Three hours he's been waiting to see Angel's beautiful, mismatched eyes.
Three hours he's been waiting to hear Angel's lovely voice again.

"I was angry and worried about my darling, Charlotte." Alastor simply said, cradling his newborn, "I don't want anyone touching my child until Angel does. This being is mine and Angel's creation. Our child. I don't want anyone touching one hand on her beautiful fur until Angel gives the okay."

Charlie frowned, "Al.. with the state of his injuries, there's a possibility he won't wake u-"

"No." Alastor interrupted, ears drawing back slightly, "He will make it. He will see his -- our baby, and we will name her together."

||~Charlie~||
Charlie was an optimistic girl, usually. She saw the good in things, but this..
"Angel might not wake up, Charlie." Lucifer, her father, gently told her.

||~Lucifer~||
Lucifer's heart ached to see his daughter so distraught. So heartbroken.
She broke down three times in his and Vaggie's arms on their way to the Sloth Ring, where Belphegor told them the spider might not make it with how severe his injuries were. Even if he did, he would not be able to move for the longest time.

That set Alastor off.
It made Charlie break down again.

||~Husk~||
Husk and Angel were close friends. They used to date, actually. 
They were both heartbroken. Husk, a few years before Angel and him dated, found out his lover was cheating on him when he lost his soul.

Angel was still angry and heartbroken over Valentino.

They were both trapped.
Losers.

So, they decided to eat shit together and date for fun.

They broke up eight months later due to Valentino being Valentino.
He hadn't heard from Angel ever again until the Hotel. He didn't even recognize the spider at first, him being so... slutty.

The Angel he dated was a softie. Quiet boy. Shy, even.

Man, Valentino changed him.

For better or for worse.

~~~

He stared at the spider, frowning. "How the fuck did this happen?" He asked Alastor, who's eye twitched and smile tightened by a fraction.

"Valentino disguised himself as Dylan the Tiger. Or, well, that is what I assume." Alastor replied, cradling the now sleeping baby in his arms.

"..I didn't expect you to be so good with kids." Husk noted. Alastor laughed, a miniature laugh track following the sound. "I don't know a thing of what to do, Husker. I'm just doing what my father never did." He confessed, a tight and rigid smile on his face.

Husk's frown deepened, "I'll take care of the kid. You get some rest, boss." He said, holding his hands out for the baby, being sure to retract his claws. "Ain't nobody will touch or hurt the kleiner Spirtzer."

Alastor hesitated for a moment before carefully placing his sleeping doe to Husk, who cradled her just as gently as Alastor was.

The stag watched him for a moment before holding Angel's hand, squeezing gently.

||~Alastor~||
"Wake up soon, my darling. Our daughter wants her mother." The deer whispered before kissing Angel's cheek and eventually falling asleep, his head resting on the spider's fluffy shoulder.
