Light In Darkness

Family Traditions (Chapter 1)[18+]

January 2016

Mina had just finished preparing their luggage when Vergil entered the bedroom with little Milaisys in his arms. The baby smiled when she saw her and lifted a little gray and black arm in her direction.

The brunette threw kisses at her but didn't grant her daughter's wish of being carried by her mommy. Instead, worry creased her eyebrows as she looked at her husband. "We are missing a baby. Where's Ary?"

His electric blue eyes softened while a sad smile formed in his lips. "His father said it would be less problematic for us if Ary stayed with him; and mother agreed."

The woman grunted, and the good humor seemed to leave her body in a rush. "Aryan wouldn't be a problem. We have been taking care of him since he was only an egg!"

"I know, dove. Nockrish's decision was a bum to me as well but they had a point. If taking a baby demon to meet your human family is a big task in its own, imagine how much more difficult it would be with two baby demons," Vergil explained as he tried to stop his little girl from biting his finger. "I think we should feed Mili before we go."

Mina sighed and came to kiss her daughter between the birth of her tiny horns. "Come with me, darling. Mami will feed you," she cooed while brushing her nose against the baby's and sitting at the large bed. "Did you get the earrings?" The brunette asked before biting her wrist. The baby quickly grabbed hold of her hand and began sucking her blood in earnest.

"Yes, she already has them on."

The woman eyed the small diamonds in the girl's ears, twisting her mouth to the left. Her daughter still looked as always! Same gray skin with the forearms and shins a pitch black, dark gray wings and eyes that would spook any sane person. Not that she wanted to change a hair in her baby girl's appearance, but her grandmother would suffer a heart attack if she saw a little demon in her arms.

"Then you need to find another jeweler because the illusion isn't working."

"It is working but it only affects mortals. The human maids of the mansion were all fusing over me, calling our angel 'a beautiful fairy princess'. Their words not mine," Vergil said, putting their four suitcases on the floor. "Dove, you do have in mind we are teleporting to Puerto Rico not taking a flight there?" he asked, eyeing the luggage.

"Yes, but we need to appear like we did otherwise aunt Sofía is going to know something is wrong." One minute she was holding the baby and the next Milaisys was hanging from the ceiling like a bat. The girl giggled as her little wings opened and closed in delight; but then something went wrong. Her footing faltered, and she began falling. Mina moved to catch her, but the little she-devil disappeared again to reappear sitting at her father's shoulders and pulling at his hair.

Vergil winced while his tiny princess giggled again.

"Did she just teleported?" Mina asked still in shock.

Her white haired demon gave her a tight-lipped smile and nodded. "Do you still want to do this?"

The brunette's smile reached her beautiful gray eyes before a soft laugh escaped her. "Where is my brave demon prince now?"

It was about midday when they teleported to a solitary street near the entrance to the town Mina's grandparents lived. Vergil was quick to act and snapping his fingers their new 2015 X5M BMW appeared before them. His wife smiled beside him while Milaisys slept in her arms. "Those powers of yours sure are handy."

"You can do it as well, Mina," he said, carefully taking the baby in his arms and putting her in the car seat.

"Yeah, right. I have trouble summoning new clothes to my body imagine if I try to conjure a car! Maybe I'll be able to do it in the next five thousand years," she answered jokingly while her white haired demon loaded their luggage.
