The Winning Hand (Devil x Reader) SEQUEL [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 4: Way things work

~Your Pov~

"No." you chocked out. "No no no No No NO!!" You were in a full panic mode. There was no way that this was possible. It couldn't be! The Devil said it couldn't have happened. But yet it did.  

"What is it?" Dice asked, coming into the bathroom after you had redressed yourself. You didn't move, so he looked over your shoulder at the test. His eyes widened like balloons. "Oh shit." he muttered. "(Y/n), are you okay?" He took a step back. You dropped the test, hearing it clatter on the floor. You were starting to heave, and hold your head. Dice expressed his concern, but backed away to let you breathe. You felt like you were about to burst. 

"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!" You screeched, startling your coworker. He flinched at the sudden raise in your voice, but quickly shushed you. "(Y/n), you need to calm down." he said, trying to place his hands on your shoulders. "How the hell can I calm down, Dice?!" You shrieked. "I'M PREGNANT WITH THE DEVIL'S SPAWN!!" Dice just face-palmed. "(Y/n), you need to quiet your voice." he said. You didn't hear him and continued to scream about how this was completely insane and how your life was over. Dice rolled his eyes, and did something he knew he would regret. He slapped you hard on the cheek, and gripped your shoulders hard. "(Y/n), get a grip!" He yelled into your face. Your eyes widened at what he did, and you raised your hand to where he had hit. It stung a little, but instead of getting angry, or threatening to tell the Devil that he had hurt you, you thanked him. You knew was right, and you needed to get a hold of yourself. "This is not the end of the world, (y/n)." he said. You sat down on the bed, and began to start crying. You couldn't help it, but it was just too much for you. 

Dice sat down beside you and patted your back. "I don't know what to do, Dice." you choked out through the sobs. "I'm so scared." "I know." he said. "But I also know that you are a strong girl, and you can get through anything, and you've proven that several times in the past." You looked at him through teary eyes and threw your arms around him, sobbing into his shoulder. He hugged you back slowly, obviously not expecting this. "It's just... I've never been pregnant before." you said. "I figured as much." he said. "And I know for sure you've NEVER been pregnant with the Devil's spawn before." You smiled lightly with a light chuckle and nodded. "Would you be surprised if I told you it's not the first time this has happened?" He asked. Your face went as white as a sheet. "You... You're kidding... right?" You asked, starting to shake. "Before you, he had his way with other women." he explained. "Many of them had been pregnant with his spawn. All of them had tried to abort them, but there was a catch. Since it was the Devil, if the baby was removed during development, it would already have powers and go completely insane.
The powers are the first thing to develop in the baby, and then comes everything else so the powers are held down as the baby grows. But if the baby is removed during the first stages of the pregnancy, it's powers are still developing, and it goes crazy. It had taken them days each time it happened to kill the damn thing. That's one of the few reasons why you don't see many women gambling with the Devil." 

You had almost hurled during that explanation. You couldn't tell if it was morning sickness, from all that moonshine from the previous night, or from how shocked you were to hear this. "So, what are you saying, Dice?" You asked. "I'm saying you can't get an abortion, and that you'll have to have the baby." he said. 

You felt like you fainted for a second, because all of a sudden Dice was holding you and keeping you from hitting the floor. "You can't be serious." you said, placing your hands on both side of your head. "I'm sorry, (y/n)." he said, slumping his shoulders. "But this is the way it's gotta be." You started crying again. "How am I going to tell the Devil that he's going to be a father?" You asked. Dice's eyes widened. "Don't tell him." he said in a warning voice. "What?" You asked. "Why?" "You just can't tell him."  he said. "It will drive him to madness." "What are you talking about?" You asked. "He has no idea how to be a father, and his father wasn't the best one, so it's most likely he'll freak out over everything he does with the baby." "But what about when I start showing?" You asked. "I don't know if you will start showing with this type of baby." he said. "This type of birth could be completely different from a normal one. It could take more or less than the original nine months, and your stomach might not even extend. I have no idea since people have never had the baby long enough to see the process." You just sighed and placed your head in your hands.
