The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room as Alastor stirred from his slumber. As he slowly blinked his eyes open, the gentle rustle of the wind outside accompanied the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest. He shifted slightly, the sensation of his hooves against the sheets grounding him in the comfort of his own bed.
With a languid stretch, Alastor felt the weight of his antlers resting against the pillows, a familiar presence that had become a part of him. He took a moment to relish in the tranquility of the morning, the anticipation of a new day stirring within him.
Beside him, Lucifer lay peacefully, his demonic form outlined by the soft morning light. Alastor couldn't help but smile as he watched his partner sleep, the warmth of their shared bed cocooning them in a sense of intimacy.
As he carefully extricated himself from the tangle of sheets, Alastor felt a pang of hunger gnawing at his stomach. His deer-like physiology often brought about unique cravings, and today was no exception. He yearned for the earthy sweetness of fresh greens and the crisp crunch of apples, a breakfast fit for a demon of the forest.
With a gentle pat to his swelling belly, Alastor rose from bed, the steady click of his hooves against the hardwood floor echoing through the room. He made his way to the kitchen, the scent of pine and cedar wafting through the air as he moved.
In the kitchen, Niffty greeted him with a warm smile, her apron adorned with sprigs of wildflowers. She bustled about, preparing a feast of woodland delights, her movements fluid and graceful.
"Good morning, Alastor," Niffty chimed, her voice as melodious as a songbird's.
"Good morning, Niffty," Alastor replied, his own voice carrying the deep timbre of the forest. "What delectable treats do you have in store for us today?"
Niffty's eyes twinkled with mischief as she unveiled a platter of fresh greens and a basket of apples, their vibrant colors a feast for the eyes. "A breakfast fit for a forest prince," she declared, her laughter like the bubbling of a brook.
As Alastor took a seat at the table, he couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging wash over him. In the embrace of the hotel he now called home, surrounded by friends who had become like family, he knew that he was exactly where he belonged. And as he savored each mouthful of his woodland feast, he felt a sense of gratitude for the simple joys of life and the love that bound them all together.
As Alastor savored the earthy flavors of his breakfast, a sense of tranquility settled over him. The quiet rhythm of the morning, punctuated by the occasional rustle of leaves outside, enveloped him in a sense of peace.
Beside him, Lucifer entered the kitchen, his presence commanding yet gentle. He paused for a moment, taking in the sight of Alastor at the table, his heart swelling with love for the deer demon who had captured his heart.
"Good morning, my dear," Lucifer greeted, his voice a warm caress against the morning air.
"Good morning, Lucifer," Alastor replied, his gaze softening at the sight of his beloved.
Lucifer crossed the room to join Alastor at the table, his movements graceful and deliberate. As he took a seat beside him, he reached out to brush a stray lock of hair from Alastor's face, his touch tender and reassuring.
"How are you feeling today, my love?" Lucifer asked, his eyes searching Alastor's for any sign of discomfort.
Alastor smiled softly, his heart swelling with gratitude for the demon by his side. "I'm feeling quite well, thank you," he replied, his voice tinged with warmth. "Just enjoying a peaceful morning and some delicious food."
Lucifer returned his smile, his eyes alight with affection. "I'm glad to hear it," he said, his voice filled with genuine concern. "You and our little one are the most important things to me, and I want nothing more than to see you happy and healthy."
Alastor reached out to take Lucifer's hand in his own, their fingers intertwining in a silent gesture of love and solidarity. "Thank you, my dear," he said, his voice soft yet filled with conviction. "With you by my side, I know that everything will be alright."
And as they sat together in the quiet of the morning, their hands clasped together and their hearts entwined, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, united in their love and unwavering in their commitment to one another.
Charlie's voice broke the tranquil atmosphere of the kitchen as she descended the stairs, her expression a mix of impatience and anticipation. "When will six months pass so I can see my baby sibling?" she asked, her pout evident in her tone.
Alastor turned to face his daughter, a fond smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Not too much longer, my dear," he reassured her, his voice gentle yet firm. "Time flies when you're having fun, and before you know it, our little one will be here."
Charlie's pout softened slightly at her father's comforting words, but she couldn't shake the feeling of eager anticipation that filled her chest. "I know, Papa," she said, her tone more subdued. "I just can't wait to meet them and be the best big sister ever."
Alastor's heart swelled with pride at Charlie's enthusiasm, his love for her overflowing. "And you will be, my dear," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "You already are the best big sister anyone could ask for, and I know you'll be an amazing role model for our new addition."
Charlie's eyes sparkled with excitement at the praise, a smile lighting up her face. "Thanks, Papa," she said, her voice tinged with gratitude. "I'm just so excited to have a new sibling to play with and teach all sorts of fun things."
As Alastor watched his daughter, a sense of contentment washed over him. In her, he saw the promise of a bright future filled with love and laughter, and he couldn't wait to see the bond that would form between her and her new sibling.
With a final smile, Charlie joined Alastor and Lucifer at the table, the anticipation of the months ahead filling the room with a sense of excitement and joy. And as they sat together, united in their love for one another, they knew that whatever the future held, they would face it together as a family.
Lucifer joined Alastor and Charlie at the table, his presence a comforting anchor amidst the excitement of the morning. He reached out to ruffle Charlie's hair affectionately, a small smile playing on his lips.
"Six months will be here before you know it, my dear," Lucifer reassured her, his voice steady and reassuring. "And when it arrives, we'll have a new addition to our family, ready to fill our lives with even more love and joy."
Charlie's eyes lit up at her father's words, the anticipation bubbling within her reaching new heights. "I can't wait," she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. "I'm already thinking of all the things I want to teach them and show them."
Lucifer's smile widened at his daughter's enthusiasm, his heart swelling with pride. "You'll be an amazing big sister, Charlie," he said, his tone filled with conviction. "I have no doubt that you'll be there for your sibling every step of the way, just like you've always been for us."
Alastor placed a reassuring hand on Charlie's shoulder, his gaze filled with affection as he looked at his daughter. "And you'll have your Papa and me right there with you," he added, his voice gentle yet firm. "We'll navigate this journey together as a family, supporting each other every step of the way."
Charlie nodded, a sense of determination shining in her eyes. "I know," she said, her voice tinged with emotion. "I'm just so grateful to have both of you by my side, and I can't wait to welcome our new family member with open arms."
As they sat together, united in their anticipation of the months ahead, a sense of excitement filled the room. In that moment, surrounded by love and bound by their shared bond, they knew that whatever the future held, they would face it together as a family, ready to embrace the joys and challenges that lay ahead.
