My Darling | Chalastor ✔

Chapter 23: First Flame

It has been a couple of hours since the birth and Charlie hasn't been in a very good mood. She has Elizabeth in her hands rocking her back and forth, trying to calm her down because she was screaming. Charlie jus had this annoyed face on trying to keep her cool as she tried calming Elizabeth. I took Elizabeth from her grasp and told her to head up stairs to have some rest from today.

I can't imagine the pain she is going through..

I sat outside, looking at the mid day sky, dreaming of this life I have been granted. I held Elizabeth with my left arm and rested the other on the chair. I rocked back and forth, letting her finally rest her eyes and shit her pie hole, before blowing out a relived sigh. After quite some time,the doorbell rung, meaning that someone either ordered some food or the mail man. I slowly get up and walk towards the door.

Once I opened it, it revealed Dust and his girlfriend, Vaggie. I smile at them and use my index finger to hush them, since Elizabeth was asleep. They furrowed their eyebrows with confusion but stayed quiet. They walked in and noticed the baby in my left arm.

"Holy shit Al! You have a child?!" Dust exclaimed, to only receive a slap from Vaggie. Dust wined, rubbing his left cheek with an angry face. He started getting all fired up, before I shushed him and them to walk to the couch outside.

"Her name is Elizabeth. I'm not sure if she inherited any of my powers so, I'm just waiting to see if anything happens.." I say, slowly sitting back in the chair I was in. They sit, had in hand, on the couch and admired Elizabeth. Vaggie gestured me if she could hold her and i just smile. I hand her my child and she carries it with a huge smile on her face.

"She looks just like you.." Vaggie says in the most lowliest voice ever. She starts to use her hands and gently caressed her baldness. Dust had this facial expression that I couldn't identify. He had this, surprised but yet worried look that I can't describe.

"Where the mother? She must be worried sick that Vaggie is holding your child!" Dust says, a little bit to excited. Elizabeth's eyes started to flutter open, revealing her beautiful red ruby eyes with her sclera a dirty blonde color. Dust lets out a cracked gasp as he raises his hand sup to his face wit excitement, meanwhile Vaggie just looked at her in awe.

    "She's upstairs, resting. You're actually the first people to see her because she was delivered six hours ago.." I say, while Elizabeth smiled at me. I smiled back, placing one of my hands on her cheek to gently rub my thumb side to side.

    Elizabeth started to cough, making me grab her instantly and place her sitting on my left arm, meanwhile the other was patting on her back. The other two idiots rushed in, making circles around me. Vaggie laughed and rubbed Razzel's stomach while Dust played with Dazzel's chew toy. As they where doing their own thing, I felt a warm breath come out of Elizabeth's mouth. I pull her aww from my shoulder and held her up by her arms.

    Moments later, she coughed again. But this time she shot fire, laying on my skin. I opened my eyes and had this impressed look on my face while Eli chuckled. I held her right in my grasp and swung her around in small circles.

    "Dust, Vaggie, She breathed out fire!" I say with excitement. Dust stoped Dazzel from getting the chew toy and immediately shoved it into his pocket and ran towards me. I got so excited that I grabbed my staff and punched in the recording system. I placed her on the ground and waited for her to shoot fire from her mouth.

    Suddenly, Charlie comes around the corner, rubbing her eyes from her nap. She widens her eyes as she spots Dust and Vaggie in the in the house, making her blush from embarrassment since she was just wearing baggy clothes, which I think look very attractive. Dust gave her a wave while Vaggie ran up to her and gave her a somewhat sloppy hug.

    "Why are you videotaping our daughter—"

    To Charlie's surprise, Elizabeth accidentally blew out fire from her mouth, shooting Charlie. She smiles and hugs the side of me, while I videotape. Elizabeth started crawling towards the two, Razzel and Dazzel, to eithe chase them or play with them.

    "O-Our daughter shot out fire from her mouth! That's amazing!" Charlie said, twirling Elizabeth in her arms. The three of us just laughed with euphoria. Before she stopped twirling our baby girl, I brought her bed to then lay her in it. After she laughed and spited fire, I carried her a while to hush her to sleep so the "grown up" could have some time together.

    "Charlie, could I talk to you for a sec?" Dust asked her. She nodded her head, getting up from the chair to head inside the house to speak with Dust. I wanted to know what they were going to talk about, but I didn't want to ease drop on their conversation.

    "So Vaggie, how's your relationship with Dust?" I asked, trying to make so the atmosphere wouldn't be so awkward. She looked at me and shrugged her arms. She crossed her legs, left on right, and then used her left arm to rest it on the resting part of the chair.

    "I mean, we are alright. I like him but, maldicion!" She said with a slight yell, raising her hands up in the air. I furrowed my eyebrows and place both of my arms on my knees, digging my elbows into them, to then relax my hands together.

    "You seem to not be so sure about your relationship Vag. Come on, tell me." I told her, sincerely. She sighed with frustration before agreeing to talk to me.

    "I-I'm falling for someone else..." She trailed off saying, bitting down on her bottom lip and intertwining her hands together. She looked away for me from embarrassment, closing her eyelids previously.

    "Vag, who is this person you are falling for?, if I may ask." I said, concerned. She started mumbling to her self in Spanish, as she tighten  her hands together to make more pressure. I reached for her hands, and that's when she relaxed and looked at me.

    "Y-Your the one person I can't tell." She said, getting up from her chair and pushing my hand away from her hands. She full- Breathed sigh before walking inside the house.

    I looked as she walked away, making me wonder about the guys she is falling for. I brush my hair with my two hands, one by one, before pulling myself up form the chair to head into the kitchen. Once I walked in the kitchen, Dust was hugging Charlie, making me stop at the corner of the kitchen. I didn't want to ease drop but apparently I was.

    "Everything is going to be alright Angel. You just have to have faith in yourself!" She said to him, rubbing her hand up and down on his back. Once of Dust's legs tried to reach for the last cupcake in the counter, making me roll my eyes and start walking back outside.

    One my way outside I found Vaggie again, but this time, she had a smile on her face and red cheeks. I gave her an unsatisfactory face before entering outside. We stood outside, in silence, before she approached to talk to me.

    "Strawberry Pimp, I like your wife.."
