The Princess and Her Deer (A Charlie X Alastor Story)

The Very Good News

"Wait, I don't think we should tell Alastor yet." Charlie said, "Why?" Vaggie asked, "Well it's something that needs to be announced subtly. Maybe now is not the best time due to the reforms of so many different demons. So maybe I should ask him if he wants a child hypothetically, and then tell him I'm pregnant."

"Okay whatever, They're your babies." Vaggie said, She turned to head back to her room but was stopped by Charlie again. "Oh and Vaggie, until I tell him can you keep this a secret?" Charlie asked, "Sure, I promise not to tell anyone until you tell him." Vaggie said.

"Okay." Charlie said, "Well, I'm going to ask Alastor hypothetically about the whole baby thing today because we'll be going out."

"That's a good idea." Vaggie said giving her a smile, Vaggie then went back to her room and she went back to sleep.

Later that day Charlie and Alastor decided that it would be okay to have their date by watching the stars instead of going out.

"Isn't it gorgeous?" Charlie asked, "Yeah." Alastor said nodding, "But it's not as gorgeous as you."

Charlie looked at him and blushed. In her head she was thinking this was the right time to ask him that hypothetical question.

"Alastor..." She said, "How would you feel if we were having a baby?"

Alastor looked at her odd, "I don't know, I have no idea what you're asking me." Charlie then sighed and said, "Like, say I was pregnant...how would you react?" She asked, Alastor was silent as he thought for a minute. Finally he responded, "Well of course I would be supportive and possibly happy. But we're not ready to have kids yet. Why would you ask me such a question?"

"Uh, I was just curious." She lied, He eyed her funny. "Is there something that I don't know?" He asked, Charlie knew she had to tell him now. It was now or never. "Alastor..." She began, "I'm-." She was cut off by a scream. "AAAAAAHHH!" It sounded liked a girly scream. The couple looked back inside the hotel.

"What was that?" Alastor asked.

"It sounded like Angel, he might be hurt or in trouble, do you wanna go check on him?" Charlie replied.

"Sure." Alastor responded.

Once they got to Angel's room, Charlie and Alastor curiously leaned their ears toward the door to Angel's room, they could hear muffled sniffling and weeping from the other side. Their faces saddened despite Alastor still smiling and the happy glow in Charlie's eyes nearly dropped completely. They stood there for a few minutes, before Charlie raised her hand and knocked on the door.

KNOCK KNOCK

No response.

Alastor was tempted to try the door handle, but quickly advised against it. They didn't want to just intrude into Angel's room, they didn't want to make him more upset. Charlie sighed, and then knocked again.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Angel?...Angel it's us, Charlie and Alastor. Can we come in?" There was a hanging pause for a few minutes, before they caught a weak 'come in' from the other side. Cracking the door open Charlie and Alastor peaked their heads inside the room and saw the spider demon sitting on the far end of his bed, his back facing them.

Angel sniffed, and wiped at his nose with his sleeve as Charlie and Alastor entered the room and softly closed the door.

They walked slowly towards the spider as he crossed his arms and rested them on top of his legs, that were pulled to his chest. Charlie's face saddened when she caught sight of the spider's tears. She carefully sat herself on the bed next to him, Angel looked away from her a little.

"Angel, what's wrong? Why do you look so gloomy?"

"VAGGIE ASKED ME OUT!" He cried. Charlie looked at him, like 'whoa!'. 'Huh, guess I'm not the only one who has love problems.' Charlie thought to herself in her head.

"Angel. She only asked you out cause she just wanted to know if you wanted to go on a date with her, why are you so freaked out about it?" Alastor asked with a simple smile. He sniffed, a lot, trying to form words but the only thing that came out were pieces of the sentence.

"Because..I've...never...went...out...with...someone...I've really...liked..before!" He continued to sniffle through out his words. Alastor kind of understood what was going on but, why was he crying about it? He decided to hug him and rub his back, while Charlie patted his shoulder. He hushed in his ear, claiming him down.

"Now, explain to me what happened." Alastor asked Angel Dust, backing away from the hug, so he would explain. He inhaled and exhaled a couple of times to relax himself.

"A few hours ago, I was performing for my next rehearsal. Vaggie walked in and, was holding a ring..." He said, ashamed. Alastor rose an eyebrow and widen his eyes. 'Has he been taking his pills recently?' He asked himself in his head. He continued to hear his explicitly of a short story.

"Now the question is, do you want help from me so you don't mess up?" Alastor asked Angel with sincerity. He rush-fully shoved his hands into his thick skull and applied pressure to it. Alastor growled and smacked him in the head.

"I'm not sure. This is the first time I've ever been asked out by her! But what if I mess up and she starts hating me?" Angel yelled with madness. Alastor continued to calm him down, achieving nothing in particular.

"Don't worry about that, Angel! That's what you should do. For the love of pete, ask one for guidance! She won't hate you after you're prepared. Ask Husk to teach you!" Alastor suggested to him, making his face light up. Angel got up and wiped away his booger and mucus from his nose.

"And that's what I'll do! Thank you Alastor!" Angel kissed Alastor on the cheek and ran out the door, not turning back. 'When will he get the hang of himself?' Charlie asked herself in her head.

'So, Where was I? Oh yeah, that question!' Charlie thought as she decided to now tell Alastor her secret, "Alastor, there's something I have to tell you!" She said loud, Alastor looked at her, "This may come as a bit of a shock and I know this isn't what you were expecting but...but..." "But what Charlie?" Alastor asked worried for his wife.

"I'm...I'm..."

She yelled out her secret very loudly that almost everyone in the hotel could hear it.

"I'M PREGNANT!"

Charlie blurted out her secret to Alastor, putting fear in her mind as she feared a divorce until Alastor grabbed her hand.

"My dear, you've just made me the happiest demon in Hell."

Charlie sighed in relief as she heard his happy reply until she and Alastor were interrupted by Angel.

"Wait, what did you just say?" Angel asked peeking his head in.

'Shoot, did he overhear me?' Charlie thought as she and Alastor looked at Angel Dust.
