You're not alone

Mistakes of a father

Sorry for such the long wait!
I just couldn't write anything...stupid writers block😑
Apologies if it's short. I was trying to get it out and not keep everyone waiting to much longer
ALSO
I'm not sure how much longer the book has in it..do people want me to wrap it up and maybe do a part 2?
Or keep it going?
Regardless my radioapple legacy is only beginning.

I feel like such a idiot.
I didn't even realize I named the girl Rosie...like Alastors friend Rosie 🤦‍♂️
My brain was thinking of Rosie from Thomas and thought. Hey that's a cute name. Not hey, that would make 2 Rosie's in the same book and now I need to do extra work to make sure the reader knows which is which..way to go me🙄

Over the Next few days Alastor was trying his best to help and be supportive, waking up at night to the sound of crying only to see lucifer already handling it. Trying to change diapers Only to fail miserably at that, only thing he had managed to do right was giving them a bath. Days turned into a few weeks and he still wasn't getting much better at this whole parenting thing. Lucifer had already been through this all with Charlie so he was honestly making it look so easy and it just made Alastor feel that much worse about it.
Alastor was currently in the kitchen warming up some milk so they could feed the babies, while he was doing this he was also washing dirty dishes from lunch earlier and taking inventory of the contents in the fridge and the pantry so he could make notes of what all to pick up next time he went into town. As he turned back around he saw The milk bubbling as it was boiling and cursed slightly as he quickly moved the pot of the burner and set it down, grabbing a ladel he scooped the milk into the 3 bottles he had set out and ready to go. Once the bottles were filled he put the lids on them.
"Alright..let those cool back down" he said to himself before moving back to inventory.
"Hey Dad" Charlie said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Hello my dear"
"Other dad was asking about the milk, he said they was starting to get upset"
"Ah yes, Of course, lost track of what I was doing" he said as he walked back into the kitchen and grabbed the bottles from the counter forgetting all about letting them cool down.
"I shall run them up to him now. Thanks dear" he said before leaving the kitchen and walking through the lobby and up to the room. Not feeling the heat in the bottles as he was busy thinking of other task he had to get done today. Walking Into the room he saw lucifer on the floor trying to keep the kids calm by holding them and playing games.
"Oh thank goodness your here. I didn't know how much longer I could keep them distracted" he said as he held out his hand for the bottles. Alastor handed them to him as he went and sat down on the bed.
"Sorry, I got side tracked with other task. I was doing in.."
Alastors ears folded Down as Conrad started to cry out and drop his bottle..and soon followed by Rosie and Austin. Lucifers attention was back to the kids as he seen the redness on their lips and skin.
"Hey hey..its ok" he said as he got up from the floor and quickly moved to the restroom and grabbing Some rags and soaking them in cold water and moved back and lightly pressed them against their mouths.
"AL! What did you do!?" He asked a bit irratedly as he tried to calm the kids back down, which was extremely hard to do now as they was burnt thanks to the boiling hot milk. It also wasnt helping that lucifer hadn't been sleeping as much due to getting up throughout the nights to calm the kids back down.
"I..i..b..i.." Alastors brain had skidded to a stop, he couldn't think of anything as he watched Lucifer tending to their kids where he had messed up, He was to distracted by running around and doing other things that it completely slipped his mind of the milk being boiling hot when he brought it up to him. He made a mistake and lucifer and the kids were now paying the price of it, deciding it would be best to just leave he quickly got up and left the room.
"I..I cant do this..im sorry"
"Al...Alastor wait!"
Ignoring his name being called he left the room leaving lucifer there before he sighed some. He shouldn't have snapped at him like that, he knows all to well how overwhelming a first time parent can be..especially with 3 kids, pulling out his phone he sent Charlie and Vaggie a text.
Alastor sat in his room beside the lit fireplace. No lights were on in there except for what the fire provided, it's orange flickering around the room, he sat there with his head down in his hands with a few tears on his face from a small crying episode he had. Hearing a knock on his door and sniffed a bit before standing up and throwing on his fake smile and moving and opening the door revealing Vaggie there.
"Ah what can I help you with today" he said in a forced cheery tone.
"I think it's more like how can I help you..Lucifer filled me in on what happened" she said with a soft smile.
Hearing this his ears folded down a bit and he looked away a little bit.
"Dont wanna talk about it"
"Hey..didn't say we have to, you was there for me when I was nervous for the wedding, so I'm here for you now" Upon hearing that he couldn't help but smile a bit.
"Thanks Vaggie...but this is something that I need to decide on by myself"
She nodded in understanding.
"Just let me know if I can help" she said before turning and leaving as Alastor closed his door again and moved back to the chair where he proceeded Spend the rest of the day at just thinking thinks over, if he rushed into all this family stuff to soon or not. About 10pm he heard another knock on his door, getting back up and walking over he opened it to reveal lucifer himself there.
"May I come in" he asked while looking up at him, not really wanting to but also knowing he wouldn't leave Alastor nodded his head and stepped to the side and let lucifer in before closing the door.
"Im sorry I snapped at you earlier..it wasn't right of me" he started in before Alastor stopped him.
"No..I..messed up, I made a mistake and it hurt the kids" he said as he looked down some now.
"Hey..its called being a parent Al..your gonna make mistakes" he said as he turned and looked at him.
"I...I dont think I'm ready for this, I fear I may have rushed into this parent thing" he said but was surprised to hear a light laugh from Lucifer which did confuse him a bit, he was expecting a sad or upset reaction.
"Oh Al...no one's ever ready to be a first time parent, you just make it up as you go, I was a total wreck when I had charlie..I was making mistakes non stop, still remember the time I made her a ketchup sandwich" he said with a smile.
"She was upset with me for over a week" he said with a smile.
"I just felt..like a failure, you made it all look so easy and the only thing I can manage to do is give them a bath"
He said before he felt lucifer grab his hands.
"Its OK to ask for help Alastor, your getting yourself all worked up and spiraling..we are in this together and that's how it's going to stay, we lean on each other and support one another" he said as he brought one of Al's hands up and kissed his knuckles, which made him smile as he leaned down and kissed him.
"What did I do to deserve a husband like you" he said as he cupped lucifers face.
"I believe you was a mass murder sent to hell and fell hard for the devil himself" lucifer replied with a chuckle before turning to a smirk.
"Also..I remember someone saying something about reminding me how easily they broke me in bed" he said which earned a blush from Alastor.
"But..the kids"
"Are with their big sister for the night...tonight is just about us and making it up to the other" he said before he watched Alastor smirk and lift him up. Wrapping his legs around his waist before being pushing against the wall lucifer reached down and cupped his face as Al's hand slid up to his rear end.
"That sounds like a perfect night then"
