How It All Began (cuphead OC story)(devilxoc)

Coming Home

On the day the boys turned four months old ruby packed her bag and made sure to hide the scrap book under all her other things in her beg so Lucifer wouldn't see it when she arrived home.
She cried gently as she handed the boys to kettle for the last time and kissed their little pearl heads as they reached for her and she smiled. "I'll be back to visit every year for Christmas and their birthday... I'll write and send money and...and Please let me know if anything happens." She said nervously. She didn't want to go but she had to leave soon if she didn't want to miss the train.
Kettle chuckled. "Don't worry ruby. I'll send you a picture once a month of them so you can see how they're doing. They'll be just fine." Said the man, trying to sooth the poor frazzled woman.
She felt so different. Mothering dice felt so different. Maybe because he had already been a child when she adopted him or maybe because he was so independent and didn't need her as much as the babies did but mothering the babies...It made her feel more worrisome, gentler, softer and over all just more "go with the flow" of course that could also be because she was exhausted from not having a full nights sleep since before the boys even arrived.
She sighed and nodded, hugging kettle quickly, kissing the boys again before picking up her back and hurrying off down the path to the train station.

When her cab pulled up to the casino she was pleased to see it was at least still standing. She was already missing her babies so much but she was so excited to see the rest of her family, her big boys and her crew.
She slipped inside with the key she had and smiled, seeing that the place was clean and we'll looked after. Not even a broken glass at the bar where...where her dice stood talking to wheezy.
He looked so different. His 18th birthday had passed while she had been away and she felt terrible for missing it but as she stood there, looking at her boy she felt nothing but her motherly love.
Dice now wore a purple suit with a bowtie and looked rather dashing and seemed to be growing a pencil mustache on his upper lip. She couldn't help but giggle quietly at the sight of her son with facial hair.
She kicked off her heals to keep her steps quiet as she slowly snuck up behind dice, catching wheezys eye and she brought a finger to her lips to tell him to be quiet as she moved to tickle her son's sides, which she knew he hated but oh she loved seeing him get all flustered and stumble over his words in anger about his inevitable girlish scream.
But no scream followed this time. Instead he turned and grabbed her wrist with the speed of a demon and he turned and pinned her to the counter with a thud, glaring down at her with two glowing green eyes.
Then his eyes widened and he let her go and stepped back. "M-mama?! Oh god mom I'm so sorry! I didn't realize it was you! Are you ok!?" He asked as he watched her lean on the counter and rub where he had gripped her and she stared at him in utter shock.
"What. The. Fuck. Happened to your eyes?" She eventually croaked out and his cheeks turned lavender with a blush and his eyes went back to normal but he didn't say anything.
"Fine. Don't tell me. I know who's handy work that is anyway. LUCIFER!" She yelled.
Dice and wheezy flinched at her call and in a puff of smoke behind her appeared Lucifer who was all smiles and excited to see her... well until she turned around and grabbed his shirt collar threateningly. "What did you do to my boy?!" She asked through her teeth.
"What i... oh. You saw the eyes. Well I made him manager! He was having some trouble getting the patrons to respect him of course cause they were so used to you and your iron first ways so I helped him out by turning him into a half demon!"
She looked up him with a blank look for a moment before she let go of his shirt. "You have exact 3 seconds to go somewhere I can't get to you, I suggest hell, because if I get my hands on you Lucifer... I will kill you." She warned and Lucifer swallowed hard and nodded.
"Right... ok. I see you need some time to prosses the changes I made... I'll see you at dinner." He said as he backed away from her and snapped his fingers and he disappeared into another cloud of smoke.
Ruby then turned to look at her son and saw wheezy had his large arm drapped protectivly over him but something...looked...different about them.
"Wheezy... please... please tell me this isn't what I'm thinking..." She said pointing st the two of them and the two boys looked st eachother and blushed before wheezy tightened his grip on Dice's shoulders.
