      Barbatos rocked and gentle patted the babies back, he let out a small burp and gave a content mew.
   "Excuse me little one but removing your care takers badge is quiet rude." Barbatos scolded softly removing the metal pin from the babies hands. "You are going to be quiet the clever demon." He mused looking him over. The child was developing  extremely quickly even for a demon. Barbatos grimaced as the baby nibbled on his gloved hand soaking it in a mixture of milk and spit. Barbatos stood the baby in his arms, as another servant entered the room bags of baby items in tow.
   "Master Barbatos." The maid said bowing lightly. "The items you have requested."
    "Thank you, please leave them." Barbatos says as he tests the water with his wrist. Placing the child in the water he proceeds to wash the boys blond hair.
    "He is beautiful Barbatos. Is he yours." The maid asks. Barbatos gives a dry laugh,
    "I am far more responsible then that. Do you not have work to finish."
   "Of course." She says before leaving. The boy then pushes his lips together and blows angrily at the place she once stood.
   "I agree completely little one." Barbatos said smiling to him. "She gossips far to much for my taste."
  "Barbatos!" Lord Diavolo calls out.
  "In the nursery." Barbatos replies carefully rising the boys hair. Daivolo walks into the room with a large smile on his face.
   "Hello there." He says pinching the child's cheeks.
   "My Lord I assure he dose not like that." Barbatos said. Then as if on cue Diavolo yelped,
   "He bit me." Diavolo said frowning. Barbatos sighed and looked to the child
  "Lesson one little one never bite the hands that feed you." The boys green eyes seem deep in thought for one so young before he splashed water onto Diavolo with his small hands. Barbatos softly laughed into his hand, 
    "Clever boy." Diavolo said smiling "very clever."
    "Pardon my asking my Lord but what are we going to do with the child." Barbatos asked.
    "I have offered to shelter him for now. At the very least until Lucifer informs his brothers of the new addition and prepares a space for him." Diavolo says
    "Has a name been decided." Barbatos asked. Lord Diavolo shakes his head,
   "Not yet. Why don't you name him."
   "Does Lucifer not wish to my Lord?" Barbatos asks as he wraps a warm fluffy towel around the child.
    "Lucifer...is in no state of mind to." Lord Diavolo sighed.
     "As you wish." Barbatos said clipping a diaper into place. He groomed the boys but a small bit of defiant hair stuck up at the back. Then dressed him in a green sleeper, holding him in one arm he stood before the book shelf and grabbed a book of names. "Let us see then little one which name suits you." Barbatos said sitting in the rocker once again. Lord Diavolo watch with interest as he sat in a large recliner. The boy looked over the pages pictures of great demons filling the pages there names at the bottom. Finally near the end the boy claped his hands down on the pages excitedly his eyes wondering about the pages. A scene of the Archangel Micheal in the heat of battle with a large powerful demon. 
    "Satan." Barbatos read to the child. "the demon of rebellion and prince of evil spirits, meaning adversary." The boy slaps his hand excitedly over the pages again.  "Yes, quiet an old name. I believe it suits you quiet well."
    "Satan. Yes it is quiet perfect." Lord Diavolo says smiling. "I shall inform Lucifer he should be quiet pleased."

     Satan sat dress smartly in a small outfit. He was but six months old but already could read. He refused to speak as of yet but was walking around well. Barbatos had taken on the duties of watching over him as they seem to get along much better then he did with Lord Diavolo. Satan cooed happily as he watched the battle take place in the enchanted pictures.
     "Come on Lucifer you should at least say hello." Lord Diavolo said dragging Luicfer behind him.
     "Lord Diavolo today is really not the best time to....hello." Luicfer said looking at the the small baby. Satan glared angrily at Lucifer for the distraction.
      "This is not the best time for introductions for Satan either. He is in the middle of a new book." Barbatos said rolling out dough.
      "He can read already?" Lucifer said surprised. "Impressive, not that I would expect anything less of course from one of my family."
     "Lucifer your pant leg is on fire." Lord Diavolo says. Satan explodes into giggles as he rolls about the floor. Patting the flames out Lucifer glares at the child who sticks his tongue out.
     "Yes Satan is the perfect name for him. I see strict discipline will be needed with this one." Lucifer says frowning.
     "I think you will find that he will rebel further under such circumstances." Barbatos says. Satan little feet pad there way over to Barbatos as he opens and closes his hands to be lifted.
     "You seem to be a natural Barbatos."Lucifer comments off handily.
      "This is not the first child I have assit in raising. It is quiet simple once you come to understand there needs." Barbatos says sitting Satan on the counter. "It is about time for his feeding Lucifer you may find his bottle warming by the oven."
    "I really must be going-" Lucifer said.
     "You really should take this time to bond with the child." Lord Diavolo says "after all he is your family as you stated."
     "Another time perhaps." Lucifer waved. "Farwell."
