Dead Lights

Chapter 1: Big News

Sheesh, this is crazy, could life get any better I've seen got a drop-dead gorgeous fallen angel that just said yes to being my wife I live in a penthouse I made with my mind. I don't have a limit on my magic anymore. Yup life doesn't get any better than this. I rolled over facing my princess her soft pale skin glistened from the crisp moonlight. Her black hair lied messy draped over the pillow. Her eyes squinted as she tried her hardest to stay asleep. Her eyelids opened revealing her stormy gray eyes, why is she so perfect. I held my head up with my hand lying in bed with her.
"Good morning Angel"
She yawned loudly like a lion her eyelashes batted against her skin.
"Hehh morning Orthy."
"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked smiling curling up closer to her giving her a tender kiss. Her hand caressed my cheek and her blackened gold 3 karat diamond ring scratched my cheekbone.
"Bacon Pancakes sound pretty good."
She bit her lip her tongue gliding against her mouth.
"Okie Dokie", I gave her a kiss on the head throwing off the bright burn red silk woven covers. Annabelle pulled the rest of the blanket towards her exposing her bare shoulder for a moment. I threw on a robe and opened up the fridge closing it with my hip. I started mixing the flour into my pancake mix as well as stirring the fresh raspberry jelly. Next, I ran over to the stove and attempted not to burn the bacon. Before grabbing Switchblade and dicing the bacon into nice little bits I rushed over at the speed of sound making my way to the kitchen counter scoop in up the bowl I placed it next to the stove. My hand met my drawer handle pulling it open. Grabbing a metal soup ladle pouring pancake batter into the pan. I could just snap my fingers then boom pancakes but where's the fun in that? Once our pancakes we're done I walked back into the room covering her naked body with the silk sheets. She held her hands out squeezing the air.
"Pancakes for my lovely fiancee"
She laughed and took a bite.
"You should know I only said yes cause you to make bombass pancakes."
I rolled my eyes flirtatiously.
"And I only asked because you look like a goddess." I stuck out my tongue closing one eye.
"Shut up." she took another couple bites of her food and we chatted on our little marble island in the center of our kitchen. When the conversation sort of just stopped for a good ten minutes.
Then she said it.
"I'm pregnant"
My eyes widened as I dropped my fork. It fell in slow motion before hitting the plate and bouncing up rattling around as it landed the prong of the fork managing to scratch my plate. Damn it I just got this dishware set! I composed myself.
"Come again?"
She said a little louder holding both my hands.
"I'm pregnant."
I blinked like twenty times.
"Baby I'm sixteen..."
"So? Doesn't mean it can't happen."
"How? We had sex like once!"
"For six hours..."
She continued, "Orthy do you know how..."
"This is news, it's not bad news don't get me wrong I'm happy but..., I uh...I need a minute. " I teleported to the Hades's throne room in a wisp of smoke.
How? Why? Am I ready for this? I can barely take care of myself much less a kid this is, this is insane.
"Haha heard the news my boy!"
Hades smacked me in the back hard.
"Looks like I'm gonna be a grandpa hehe your mother, huh, your mother would be proud."
His long black hair floated majestically in the wind.
I looked at him mundanely,
"You know?"
"Of course I know, I see..."
I cut him off annoyed.
"Yeah yeah yeah I know everything I do. I'm gonna head out a bit see if I can find a lead on mom's killer, I'm going to Earth want anything dad?"
Hades' eyes wandered roaming around from column to column.
"Hey uh...sport, buddy, can I call you..."
"Hades! Just spit it out already!"
"Winters coming to Underworld"
"Ok what do you want a Christmas present? I'll get you some socks you'll never wear don't worry pops."
I patted his shoulder then reached for my tattoo throwing the portal on the ground. And ran in it before feeling like I just got clapped by a brick wall.
"Winter comes to Underworld every five years during that time it freezes the portals, no one in no one out."
"What?!, but Jovonni sent me like fifteen snaps and he's been on delivered for like a year! Bro, I forgot my phone last time I went out."
"Sorry kid but rules are rules no one in no one out."
"huh, well this is bullshit where's Jay?"
"Why?"
"Well I'm pissed off and I'm trying to be better on the killing and he's the only mother fucker I know can't die."
Hades pointed towards the colosseum and my wings shot out of my back in a burst of violent red energy as I broke the sound barrier a loud boom bursting behind me as I flew.
I can only hit him for ten minutes, but I'm gonna enjoy the shit out of every second.
