Devil's Spawn

First Trimester

Lilith rolled out of bed and started running as soon as her feet hit the floor. In one fluid move, she sank to her knees and hung her head over the toilet, releasing her stomach's contents into its porcelain belly. Bringing one arm up to rest her forehead against it, she closed her eyes so she didn't have to stare down into the bowl full of vomit and waited for the heaving to stop. She groaned softly as an ice cold cloth was laid across her neck and a hand gathered her hair back away from her face. Leaning back, she flushed the toilet and looked over her shoulder at the High Priestess of the Church of Lilith.

"Maybe I should start sleeping in my own room?" Standing gingerly, her hand on her small bump, Lilith rinsed out her mouth and spat in the sink. Looking at Zelda Spellman's reflection in the mirror in front of her, she worried the daily routine of morning sickness was becoming a burden.

Smiling softly, the redheaded witch reached past Lilith, grabbed her toothbrush, put toothpaste on it and held it out to the Queen of Hell; "Brush your teeth and then kiss me, you fool."

With a grin, Lilith used her teeth to grab the toothbrush then leaned against the counter as she brushed her teeth. Her eyes travelled wantonly over her lover's curves within the Japanese silk robe. As she reached forward to grab Zelda's hip, the Devil's spawn decided to run a marathon within her uterus and her stomach lurched. Dropping her toothbrush into the sink, Lilith dropped to the ground and lost the rest of last night's dinner into the bowl. In between gags, she whined; "Is the first trimester always like this? It's been ten weeks! When will this en-uuuggghhh...."

Zelda reached forward and grabbed Lilith's hair just as she bent back over the toilet. Reaching around with the cool cloth, she wiped Madame Satan's mouth and kissed the top of her head; "I think we're safe - your stomach is certainly empty now, Lily. Come downstairs once you've cleaned yourself up, I'll go make you some peppermint tea and toast."

Preferring to sleep in the nude, Lilith slipped into a black nightgown, it's short hemline accentuating her bump, and finished brushing her teeth before following Zelda down into the kitchen and sinking into a chair. She watched Zelda move gracefully around the kitchen, pulling toast from the toaster and buttering it swiftly then placing it in front of Lilith; pouring water from the kettle into the bone china teapot and setting it on the table along with two cups and some honey. Making herself some toast, she settled into the chair beside Lilith and reached over to pour the tea into her cup.

"You spoil me, Zelda, really." Lilith both loved and hated how the Spellman's matriarch fussed over her, she wasn't used to it but it seemed to bring Zelda joy so Lilith accepted graciously. Pouring some of that honey on her buttered toast, she hesitated before putting it in her belly, silently asking the beast inside of her if he planned on leaving it there or not. She waited a few seconds, deemed it safe, and took a bite.

"I don't spoil you Lilith and don't sleep in your room on my account. I'm just fine. You need a midwife and luckily, you live with one. That reminds me, we need to do an ultrasound..."

The Queen of Hell's face darkened and she stirred honey into her peppermint tea distractedly, "You know I don't want to see that thing, Zelda. I know it's fine, I don't need confirmation."

Zelda reached forward and placed a hand on Lilith's, "Darling, I'm the expert here. I need to see the baby, even if you just close your eyes during the examination."

Clearing her dishes into the sink, Lilith pulled Zelda to her feet and into her arms. "I've waited my entire life to deserve you. If seeing this little monster will make you happy, we will do it this afternoon. I have something I need to attend to first." The Queen of Hell wiped the smile off of Zelda's face with a deep kiss then left her in the kitchen as she went to get dressed.
