The evening of Ava's birthday dinner arrived, and Vox had pulled out all the stops. Ava stepped into the living room in the most beautiful dress from the extensive wardrobe Vox had gifted her, a shimmering gown in shades of blue that matched her eyes. It was adorned with delicate sparkles that twinkled as she twirled, feeling like a princess.

Lucifer, Alastor, and Vox couldn't hide their smiles as they watched her. "You look stunning, Sweet Pea," Alastor said with a proud grin, using her favorite nickname. Ava beamed at him, feeling the love in his words.

"Thanks, Daddy! I even peed before we left!" she declared proudly, making everyone laugh.

"Good job," Lucifer chuckled. "Let's keep that streak going, huh?"

The entire group piled into their cars—Lucifer, Vox, Ava, and Alastor in one car, with Husk, Angel, Vaggie, Charlie, Niffty, and Rosie following closely behind. They arrived at one of the finest restaurants in Hell, one that catered to both the elite and families. It had everything a kid could want—a game room, an ice cream bar, and top-notch food.

As soon as they entered, Vox discreetly approached the staff, sliding them his card just like at the donut shop. "It's her birthday," he said with a charming smile. "Make it special—whatever it costs."

Ava's eyes lit up when she spotted the game room and the ice cream bar. "This is the best birthday ever!" she squealed, bouncing with excitement.

"You haven't even seen the cake yet, Sweet Pea," Alastor said, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

As they settled into their seats, the restaurant staff, now well aware of the occasion, gave Ava the royal treatment. They brought out personalized menus, each dish catered to her taste, while she giggled and talked with everyone at the table.

When dinner was over, the lights in the restaurant dimmed slightly, and the staff emerged with a grand cake. It was a masterpiece—three tiers tall, decorated in rainbow colors, with glittering details. But what made Ava's eyes widen in pure delight were the cake toppers. Sparkly letters arranged at the top spelled out "Sweet Pea," the nickname Alastor had given her, something she cherished deeply.

Alastor smiled as he saw her reaction. "I figured you might like that," he said softly.

"I love it!" Ava exclaimed, her eyes full of joy. "Thank you, Daddy!"

The entire group sang "Happy Birthday," their voices blending together as Ava stood there, in awe of the beautiful cake and the people around her. After she blew out the candles, she gave each of her daddies a tight hug, thanking them for making her day so special.

Once the cake was served, the kids flocked to the game room, including Ava, who was eager to show off her skills. The adults followed with drinks in hand, watching from the sidelines as the children played and laughed.

Lucifer and Alastor, standing side by side, couldn't help but smile as they watched Ava celebrate with her friends. "We did good, huh?" Lucifer murmured, looking at Alastor.

"More than good," Alastor replied, his eyes warm. "She's our Sweet Pea. She deserves it all."

Vox sidled up to them, watching the scene with satisfaction. "Another success," he said with a wink. "And I must say, that cake topper was a nice touch, Alastor."

Alastor chuckled, his eyes flicking toward Ava, who was happily running around. "I wanted her to remember this day for a long time."

"And I think she will," Lucifer added, his voice soft with pride.

As the night continued, Ava's joy only grew, surrounded by friends, family, and more love than she could have ever imagined. This was truly a birthday she would never forget.
