new Orleans. 🍎📻

wedding.

Lucifer POV

Today is the day. I feel nauseous. Just nerves. Nope. I teleport to the toilet. Charlie, my brother's Vaggie, looks at the bathroom. I magically close the door and empty my already empty stomach. A hand is on my back as I vomit. Michael. He did this when we drank too much of Zeus's alcohol.

"There's only one reason an angel throws up," he said.

"I doubt it; we tried for months," I said, brushing my teeth.

"Prove me wrong," he said, holding a pregnancy test, specifically for blood. I draw some blood and put it on the test. I wait, pacing.

"You going to keep it?" he asked.

"Try to," I said.

"Miscarried," he said. I nodded. I can't lose the baby again.

"Well, better shift," he said. 
"Later tonight. On our honeymoon, I don't want to have those things just yet," I said. 
"Phenix is on the itinerary," he said. 
"Crap," I said. 
"The ceremony will be in an hour. Guests are already here. Dad is waiting," he said. I can do this. 
Forty-five minutes later, I'm ready; I just need the crown. 

**Alastor POV** 
Fifteen minutes, then I go on the altar. I bite at my claws; Husk and Angle are putting on their outfits. I haven't been this nervous in a while. "Calm down, dear; it's only a few words, then food," Rose said. I start to pace. 
"I can't. Not in front of everyone," I said. 
"I got an idea," Angle said. He is zipping up his dress.
"Blindfold him," Angle said. 
Rose covers my eyes. Soon, a familiar scent fills my nostrils, but something different, like a sweet smell. A hand touches mine. 
"Soon I will see you," Lucifer said. 
"I can't wait, my little hen," I said. 
"I wish I could kiss you," I said. 
"Me too," he said. We're separated. I walk onto the altar. The guests are seated, and soon the music starts. This is actually happening. The bridesmaids, then groomsmen and women. Next, God and Lucifer. He is stunning: a white suit with red flames, thick cuffs, and his crown on his head. God sat down beside a woman. 
"These two have had a rocky journey, separated for 100 years. They are now binding their souls to each other. Did I forget anything?" Charlie said. That's my cue. 
"Lucifer, when you met me, I was a very dark human. I was going to kill you, but you showed me love and patience—something other partners didn't. My heart flutters whenever I see you, when you snuggle up to a pillow, stuffed animal, or one of your pets. You are my better half," I said, holding back the tears.

"Alec, when I met you, I was in a hard place with my marriage. You gave me hope again. I am happy to spend the rest of my life, hopefully with you, to grow our family, warm my heart when I'm down, and be my rock; I'll be yours," he said. Leon and Jennifer slithered down the aisle.

"Do you take Lucifer Morningstar to be your husband?" Charlie asked.

"I do," I said. A crown like Lucifer's hovered, and I pulled it down as Lucifer told me.

"Do you take Alasror Heartfelt to be your husband?" Charlie asked her father.

"I do," Lucifer said.

We got the rings off the snakes' tails. They slithered behind Charlie and put them on. "You may..." Charlie was saying, but Lucifer pulled me down and kissed me. I grabbed onto his waist, my thumb going over his abdomen. He tensed a little. We went in to get some food, but he avoided some foods.

"What is going on?" I asked him. He looked at the floor.

"I'm pregnant," he said.

"This is amazing," I said.Kneeling to kiss his stomach.

Michael POV

We are at our table eating. I watch Lucifer and Alastor. Alastor knelt to kiss his stomach and then stood up, his hand still on Lucifer's abdomen. They do their dance, Dad and Mom smiling. The sins are interesting. One is dating an imp that's way too small for him. One is in a polygamous relationship, one is hitting on the staff, and another is already bored; he is better off here.

"I know you want him back, but he has a family here, and here is better for him," Dad said.

"I saw him cut off his wings," I said.

"And he talked it out with his husband. He has a daughter he can talk to," Raphael said. A woman as tall as Alastor goes to him. He hugged her, and they talked. Lucifer walked around talking to everyone. When he talked to the sins, a penguin outfit was on him.
The sins laughed. He snapped it off. He threw it at the roster. Then he came to our table. "He pulled out one of the chairs. "Assholes," he said, summoning a cigarette. "Do I need to remind you that those are bad for you?" I said.

"Damn it," he said. Alastor came to the table.

"So where are we going on our honeymoon?" he said.

"It's a surprise," Lucifer said. Soon it was just the two of us sins and the owl: Alastor, Mom, Charlie, and her friends. The snakes went to their places in the garden.

"I'm too tired to portal," Dad said.

"Sleep here. We're going to be gone for two months on our honeymoon, so don't call unless someone threatens Charlie's life or hell collapses," he said, looking at the phone.

"Charlie, you have the sins' number. You will step in for the sins' meetings. There are only two. Mammon knows not to mess with you, or I'll cut off his oxygen. Also, you're getting a sibling, hopefully. We have a reservation," he said.

"No magic," Dad said.

"I got everything we need," he said, as he looked at the three suitcases. "The rest we can get where we're going," he added, opening a portal. He shifted into his female human form, revealing a small baby bump already. He did the same with Alastor, who was shorter and wearing heels. "Now come on, Bambi, you're mine for two months," he said, dragging Alastor through the portal.

"I call dibs on the first babysitting job," said the one who looked like a fox.

"I am going to buy the baby so many outfits," the roaster said.

"The baby will have more uncles," Raphael said.

Dad looked at Charlie. "Now that your father is gone, I want to make up for the years I missed your birthdays and Christmases," Dad said, pointing to a mountain of gifts in front of her. "There is more in your room, and on Earth, you can get a house; I'll pay for it," Dad added.
"Lucifer is going to kill you," I said.

"That's a lot," Charlie said.

"Wait till you see Christmas," Hades said.

"What wife are you on?" Dad said to him.

"I've only had one wife; partners, I lost count. At least I stopped at eight kids," Hades said, looking at me.

"Not my fault they keep regenerating," I said.

"I can give you birth control," Dad said.

"How big is our family tree?" Charlie said.

"Well, let's see: 30 or so grandkids, 3 great-grandkids," Dad said.

"Don't remind me," Gabriel said.

"Welcome to the club," Ureal said.

"You can accept grandpa-hood," Dad said.

"I'm calling it a night," I said.

Going up to a bedroom, I see my wife already asleep. Might as well sleep.
