The Smallest Hell spawn (A Hazbin Hotel Side Story)

Chapter One- Adoption

'Over the past two days Charlie and Vaggie had been waiting for a response from the adoption agency, most adoptions were declined in hell, as most adoption centers had need of the children, either for free labor or other.. less reputable causes'

'While Vaggie was less than convinced their request would be approved Charlie still held out hope, doing her best to reassure her partner'

'While they waited, Vaggie tried to get closer to Ryker only recieving the same hostility she had previously when Charlie wasnt around, meaning that she did infact have to step in a few times'

'However Charlie did try to show Ryker that Vaggie wasnt dangerous. Not to much success however'

'Of course Vaggie wasnt thrilled with Ryker's lack of trust in her. Infact it hurt in a way'

'She hadnt quite realised it, but she had grown quite fond of the tyke, whenever Charlie was around he was great company. But left to his own devices it was like he just wanted to be alone'

'At the moment however She and Charlie are sitting in the lounge of the happy hotel, everyone else having gone out or currently being asleep'

'One thing both Charlie and Vaggie came to realize is that despite his age, Ryker was extremely intelligent, while he didnt understand english yet nor could he speak. However he learned most things rather quickly'

'Charlie had tried to teach him how to read, but that didnt exactly work either. So instead Charlie bought him a few toys, shape related puzzles and such'

'Yet again however. Ryker managed to finish them almost instantly, finding himself quite bored after he did'

'The young hell spawn had been quite full of energy. Always managing to get himself into some sort of situation that would cause some form of alarm'

'During a particularly busy day where Charlie had to be out, likley advertising for the hotel. That Ryker had somehow managed to climbe ontop of the shelves above the stove in the kitchen. And he decided to stay there'

'It wasnt untill Charlie had come back that someone was able to get Ryker down'

'At the moment however while Charlie and Vaggie sit next to eachother. Charlie attempts to sooth her partner's worries'

Charlie: "Maybe instead of trying to go to him, you should let him come to you?" 'Charlie asks in realization as if a light bulb had gone off over her head'

Vagge: "What do you mean. Exactly?" 'Vaggie asks with a sigh'

Charlie: Well. You said when anyone tries to approach him when I'm not there, he is hostile. But if you dont directly try to approach him. He isnt a problem"

Vaggie: "Right, you could be practically next to him as long as you dont try to touch him" 'Vaggie says with a nod'

Charlie: "So that must mean he views people approaching him as hostile. So maybe if you let him get comfortable with you being around. He'll come to you?" 'Charlie suggests earning a hum from Vaggie'

Vaggie: "I guess it's worth a try....I just...really want this to work, you know?" 'Vaggie says with a sigh'

Charlie: "Hey, this will work out. I promise" 'Charlie says taking Vaggie's hands into her own, being taken by surprise slightly by Vaggie's current state of mind'

'Charlie and Vaggie's conversation is cut short by a knock at the door. Causing the both of them to bolt upright and over to the door'

'Once the door is opened Charlie and Vaggie are met with yet again, no one at the door. However on the door step is a envelope'

'After picking up the envelope the pair head back inside as Charlie hesitantly opens it, closing her eyes as she takes the letter out'

Vaggie: "Hun you have to open your eyes to read it" 'Vaggie says with a small bit clearly amused smirk'

Charlie: "I cant im scared!" 'Charlie says in a childish manner, causing Vaggie to shake her head'

'After a moment Charlie takes a deep breath before opening her eyes and unfolding the letter, holding her breath as she reads it'

'Slowly but surely a look of pure joy begins to cross Charlie's face, having started bouncing on the fronts of her feet'

Vaggie: "What? Did I-"

'Vaggie was quickly cut off by Charlie wrapping her in a tight hug, knocking the wind out of her lungs for a moment as her girlfriend stands as a giggling mess'

'Once separated from Charlie, Vaggie takes the letter and begins reading it for herself as Charlie stands rubbing her own cheeks. Her face having grown sore from smiling too much'

'Eventually Vaggie finds herself standing in a state of shock, not from any overwhelming emotions. But from surprise'

'Somehow. Their adoption request had been approved. In pentagram city that almost never happened'

'So how did it happen this time?'

'Off in what could be described as the country side of hell sits a large mansion with a large office window visible on the top of it. The entire mansion has a white paintjob. Making it look surprisingly well kept considering its location'

???: "Yes of course. I'm glad to hear my request has gone through" 'A man's voice can be heard from the office'

'From inside the office a large swivel chair can be found facing the window, a man wearing a white suit visibly testing his feet on the window sill'
