The Smallest Hell spawn (A Hazbin Hotel Side Story)

Chapter Two- Fire!

'Both Charlie and Vaggie were ecstatic. Ryker had spoke his first words and they couldn't be any prouder'

'It certainly didnt come like either of them expected it too'

'Instead of him speaking his first words like a normal child. That being one word, along with likley not truly understanding what it meant'

'Ryker had formed a semi-cohesive sentence. Which was far from somthing he wouldnt be capable of'

'It was clear he had much more of an understanding of things than most children his age, so it was only a matter of time before he could speak fully'

Charlie: "Oh you're growing up so fast! I'm so proud of you!" 'Charlie says holding Ryker, spinning briefly'

Vaggie: "Calm down hun" 'Vaggie says with a light laugh, placing a hand on Charlie's shoulder'

Charlie: "No! You got to see his first steps and hear his first words! Let me have this" 'Charlie says holding Ryker closer to her'

Ryker: "Mummy!" 'Ryker says excitedly, looking up at Charlie, his eyes glowing brightly as he does so'ZZ

'Charlie let's out a dramatic whimper as she holds Ryker against her chest, leaning forward slightly'

Charlie: "My heart..."

Vaggie: "You'll be fine" 'Vaggie says straightening Charlie's posture'

'As Vaggie takes Ryker from Charlie he let's out a light rumble which sounds rather simmilar to light laughter'

'Charlie then gently takes Ryker away from Vaggie. Earning a confused hum from Ryker, tilting his head slightly'

Charlie: "Nope! You still have work to do. If you Excuse me I am going to go get me and Ryker some food" 'Charlie says with sass evident in her voice before she walks away'

'After rolling her eyes, Vaggie returns to her work, only now she had a visible smile on her face'

'As Charlie walks to the kitchen, Ryker let's out a curious hum, looking up at her'

Charlie: "No mummy isnt actually mad sweetie. I was just being silly" 'Charlie says with a light chuckle'

'Once inside the kitchen Charlie places Ryker in his highchair they had bought for him before moving over to the fridge'

'Making herself a sandwich she takes out  a smokey before briefly boiling it in a pot'

'Once the smokey is cut up into small pieces and placed on a plate Charlie walks back over to the small table, sitting down across from Ryker, taking her sandwich out of her mouth'

'After eating her sandwich Charlie places a peice of the smokey on the fork before positioning it infront of Ryker's face'

'As he had before Ryker backs up slightly, a light defiant rumble coming from him as he does so'

'Charlie let's out a quiet sigh, a slightly pouting expression crossing her face'

Charlie: "C'mon buddy you have to eat. Please?" 'Charlie says softly, pleading with her son'

'Noticing the worried look on Charlie's face Ryker looks down briefly before leaning forward, sniffing the peice of meat'

'He then quickly opens his mouth before biting down on the fork, mitigating the eerie droning sound his mouth tends to emit'

'With a light smile Charlie places another peice of meat onto the fork, positioning it infront of Ryker, earning a look of disheartened disbelief'

Charlie: "C'mon"

'Over time Charlie manages to get Ryker to eat his meal, eventually eating the smokey in its entirety, despite his occasional protests'

Charlie: "There! All done" 'Charlie says proudly, earning a look of relief to cross Ryker's face'

'Charlie pauses for a moment, recognizing the look on Ryker's face'

'He was anxious. Really anxious. He was actually shaking'

Charlie: "Hey....what's wrong?" 'Charlie asks softly, picking Ryker up causing him to bury his head into her shoulder'

Ryker: "Scary..." 'Ryker says quietly, shame audible in his voice despite it being muffled'

'A look of realization crosses Charlie's face, having remembered the time Ryker scared Vaggie'

'It was after one of their naps that they regularly take, it was dark out and Vaggie had just woken up'

'Having woken Ryker up by accident when he went to Yawn and he opened his mouth he scared the daylights out of Vaggie as she had briefly forgotten about Ryker's unsettling biology'

Charlie: "Hey. Mama knows you werent trying to scare or hurt her. Okay?" 'Charlie says softly hugging Ryker'

'With a brief nod Ryker pulls back looking up at Charlie, glowing yellow tears visible in the corner of his eyes'

Charlie: "Hey now. No crying." 'Charlie says wiping Ryker's tears away'

Charlie: "Besides in this family being scary can be real badass" 'Charlie says with a grin, turning into her more demonic form with a brief burst of flame around her head'

'As usual Charlie's ability to transform always makes Ryker laugh, even if it wasnt an audible one'

'However Charlie's relief was replaced by a curious expression as Ryker shakes his head, scratching his nose slightly'

'Before Charlie can respond Ryker's mouth opens as he sneezes, shooting out a brief burst of yellow glowing flame directly in her face'

'Upon realizing what he had done Ryker let's out a panicked rumble, which is quickly replaced with a confused one as the smoke disperses'

'Despite her hair and face being singed slightly Charlie seemed fine. Her eyes were even sparkling as she looked down at Ryker. Part of her hair still having a glowing Yellow flame on it'

'Moments later the door to Vaggie's office bursts open as Charlie practically breaks it open'

Charlie: "Vaggie! You wont fucking believe what just happened!" 'Charlie says with an excited tone, her hair still flaming slightly as she Carrie's Ryker, who has a clearly confused look on his face'
