Saved By The Devil Himself

Christmas

"Angel" I hear Aziz's soft voice call. I slowly flutter my eyes open to see that Aziz is crouching down next to the couch with a big smile on his face.

"What? What time is it?" I Ask while looking around. The house is quiet but there is light peeping through the blinds.

"It's Christmas, get up so we can wake the other two," he tells me and I nod my head sitting up. As I do I feel something kick me. I look around confused for a minute before another kick happens. I look down at my belly and it happens again. He's kicking! Like really kicking!

"Aziz!" I call as he is already halfway up the stairs. He quickly runs down the stairs at an unnatural speed.

"What's wrong?" He asks quickly.

"He kicked, like really kicked" I explained while giggling. He puts his hands on either side of my belly and he kicked right away. Twice actually.

"Hello there," He says quietly to my belly. I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face as he did that.

"I'll go get Mom and Ethan, stay here." He says as he runs up the stairs. "Make sure he stays kicking!"

I giggled and laid back on the couch as I rubbed my belly. "Hello, their baby boy. I'm your mommy" I say quietly.

"Move! I gotta feel my grandbaby!" I hear Mallory yell from upstairs. I watched as she runs downstairs and over to me in a flash. She puts her hands on my belly right as he does another kick.

"Has he been kicking all morning?" She asked and I nodded my head yes.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

"Lucifer Aziz" someone called from the other side of the front door.

"Coming coming," Aziz says as he casually walks down the stairs. I wonder who it is. Who could be here on Christmas?

I watched as Aziz opened the door and five men in the same black and silver uniform stand on the other side. One with many metals on the front of his uniform speaks first. "Sir, there's been a break in. Take your family into the safe space" he informs Aziz and he only nods. I looked at him confused after he shuts the door and walks over to us.

"Ok, so delay on Christmas. We need to get you two and Ethan into the safe space." Aziz says before walking over to the kitchen and a door magically appears on the floor.

Mallory helps me up and we walk down the steps and into the so-called 'safe space.' Aziz runs upstairs to grab something before coming back down into the safe space. He sets down three boxes. One full of food. One full of blankets and pillows. One full of other needs.

"What is all this commotion? Why are y'all in the safe space?" Ethan asks scratching his head. I shrug my shoulders as Aziz explained. "There's been a break in. Everyone is told to go in the safe space. My troops have been sent out they should be on them any second now. Go get in."

There was a couch and I decided to sit down on it. I watched as Ethan ran in and the door behind him and Aziz. "Are we safe in here?" I ask looking at Aziz. He nods his head before grabbing a blanket and putting it around me.

"Don't worry angel. No one is able to come in here" He tells me as he sits down.

We sit in here for about 4 hours before we hear banging from upstairs. What could that be? Is it those people who got in?

"Oh, King Lucifer. Come out, come out where ever you are" a deep masculine voice chants. That can't be good.

"I've heard you have a pretty little girl in your hands. Her father would like her back" the man said as something breaks. Sounds like plates or cups breaking.

"If you hand her over, we all leave. If you don't" the sound of more crashing comes again. "Then we will find you and kill you and everyone in this realm."

I hold onto Aziz scared that he might find us. I don't want him to. Today started off so nicely where I felt Joseph's kicks, but now they had to ruin it.

"Ah, looks like the guards have found me" I could hear his wicked smile appear on his face. The next thing I hear is the sound of fighting then a loud thud. Sounded like a body fell to the floor.

"Your majesty, he's dead," another man says, but Aziz doesn't reply. Probably for safety purposes.

After it was quiet for a while I get up off the couch and start walking around. I couldn't just sit for the whole time. I walk back and forth from the small safe space trying to get some blood moving. I could feel their eyes on me.

"Amberley, What are you doing?" Aziz asked me and I shot him a look. I could just feel my blood boiling but I'm not sure why.

"I want to walk. I can't sit on a couch inside this room for 4 hours and do nothing." I say with an attitude. I know I'm getting upset, but what for? Why was my blood boiling all of a sudden?

I keep walking back and forth in the safe space till the door opens upstairs. I look over at Aziz and he gestures me to come to him. I do. He pulls me into his lap and we wait till a man in the same uniform as this morning comes down the stairs and over to us. "All clear sir, every last one of them dead"

That's all he says before walking out of the safe space and Mallory and Ethan stands up to leave. Aziz doesn't let me out of his lap, but he turns me to him. "What's wrong?" He asks me. I knew it was because of before when I snapped. Well kind of. 

I shrug. "I don't know. I guess this reminded me of when I was at home, how I lived in a small place and there was nothing I could do." I confess. He pulls me closer to him and kisses my forehead before saying "I won't ever do anything to you or our baby, okay?"

I nodded my head before we both got up and walked out of the safe space to enjoy our Christmas. And we did.

And I got a little something special that night too. Wink wink. Hint hint.
