Lilith only tilted her head unsure as she watched the exorcist he held in his hand.

“And Adam just let you take her?”

“I did a lot of convincing but I managed,” the devil said prideful.

“Hmm…” her wife winced weird out to all this, unfamiliar and uncomfortable. She hesitantly grabbed hold from one wing and held the exorcist close to her face to examine it in detail. 

Fake curled horns, demonic looking expression as a face. Was this some sorts of mockery from heaven? Most likely.

Lucifer winced alert as he took the baby away in one swift snatch from his wife’s dangerous hold, “don’t hold her from the wing, you’ll hurt her.”

Lucifer was feeling dread from the silent gaze of his wife on Violet. He smiled realizing that all she needed was to see the beauty of her soul for Lilith to warm up. Her wife had trouble seeing the exorcists other than being just that. So this was a great opportunity to prove her wrong, and they were alone so no one else would see Violet’s face.

He gently took off the mask, revealing precious ruby eyes, pale skin, pouty lips and all brown messy short hair. Lilith gasped lightly now inspecting her in curiosity and amusement. 

“I can now see the angel in her.”

Oddly enough, this angel also looked a lot like Adam aside from the eyes of course.

“See? I told you they were all very precious.”

Lilith nodded, now feeling a wave of eagerness on wanting to carry the little angel. Those big ruby eyes calling her in ways she never expected something to capture her heart.

She made clawing hand gestures and Lucifer chuckled softly, reaching his arms out, expectantly waiting for Lilith to muster the courage to hold Violet.

Lilith bit her lip slightly nervous, she awkwardly grabbed the angel. Violet giggled, “I like your horns, miss queen!”

Lilith pupils grew twice their size with now flustered cheeks.

Oh no. The baby fever was hitting bad now.

~~~~

Lilith was doing the most out of the two. She was all over the castle trying to find things to entertain the angel, baking sweets or bringing out snacks. She even bought her a whole wardrobe of clothes.

While Lucifer and Violet sat at the reel from one of the open windows watching. Violet sitting on his lap while Lucifer rested his cheek on his palm, elbow resting on his right thigh. While both pair of eyes looked back and forth at the queen of hell trying to find a small lyre she wanted to show the angel.

It was funny for Lucifer how all of this reminded him of Eden. Back when things were wonderful and perfect. Back when Lilith and Adam would try showing off Lucifer their newfound discoveries. 

“So—“ he tried making conversation, “do you have any instrument in particular that you like? I can make you literally anything you want.”

Violet looked up at him with those big-doe eyes, “we’re not allowed to play any instrument, but Addy lets us play with his guitar sometimes.”

Lucifer smiled softly, this reminded him of Michael and how they would forbid him to do stuff as simple like playing with instruments until he finished practicing. Literally just watching from the training fields at the rest who get to do the average common things while he was out there stuck working almost with no break. Because that was considered a 'distraction'.

Soldiers and their shit rules.

“Well~ we’re not in heaven aren’t we?”

Lucifer summoned a small panel making Violet gasp intrigued by the technology, brushing her small hand on his in curiosity. The devil couldn’t help but beam prideful. He swiped left showing Vi all of the type of selections of instruments that there is.

“Anything that sparks your interest?”

“That one!” She exclaimed happily pointing at a piano. Classy.

~~~~

The day went wonderfully, Violet was a absolute sweetheart and a menace too. She burned like two pieces of furniture but that was pretty much it. 

Lilith was actually questioning if Adam had really been raising the child because of how well behaved she was. 

Lucifer has to remind her that the kid was a soldier so they really had no choice on that matter.

But anyways, every day comes to an end, and it was already hell night. They went to their room and Lilith tucked Violet in bed, read a story while he used his magic to present visuals of the tales his wife narrated. It was a magical experience for Violet. Lilith was literally stuck to Violet in a hug, nuzzling close to her as a loving mother, arms wrapped around protectively while Violet yawned tiredly.

This entire scene warmed Lucifer’s heart, oh how he’d pictured Lilith holding their child with such love. He would imagine their child to be as cute and adorable like Vi.

He sighed, before getting comfortable and wrapping his arms around Lilith. Both temporary ‘parents’ holding on to their child as a shield while falling deeply asleep.

“I miss Addy.”

With that, both demons opened their eyes while Violet snuggled closer into Lilith’s chest, squeezing her eyes tightly and letting out a small whimper.

This squeezed their heart painfully. 

At the end of it all… they weren’t her parents. 

~~~~

“I want a baby,” Lilith spat, sat down defeatedly on their couch, after coming out from a portal; returning from giving Violet back to Adam. Her palm now resting on her forehead seemingly in thought.

“I know,” Lucifer growled frustrated while rubbing furiously at his face.

It was becoming torturous now. Zero results, over too many attempts. And yet no bun in the oven.

Lilith snapped her fingers, summoning a glass of wine and standing up abruptly while the swift action startled Lucifer enough to make him fall on to the couch.

“I have an idea!”

Lucifer winced nervous for whatever idea coming out from Lilith’s desperation. It was never good, the last time this had happened she suggested to sneak into earth and steal one of the human newborns.

“And that is…?”

“Adam,” she finger gunned him as it were the best solution to their problems, taking a small sip of her glass.

“Adam?”

“Yes. Remember I told you that maybe fucking Adam is the solution to us having a baby?” 

Lucifer nodded hesitantly, but unsure, “you– want to fuck Adam?”

“No!” She exclaimed with uncharacteristic enthusiasm, before pointing at him and wink.

This only confused him even further.

“Okay.. so how is that going to work?”

“Well, at this point I’m willing to let go of the idea of carrying the baby as long as it’s ours.”

Lucifer nodded still seemingly not understanding yet still wanting to be supportive.

“And you said that all angels have both genitalia didn’t you?”

Lucifer frowned immediately in realization, “you want me to get fuck by Adam?!” He crosses his arms seemingly not believing this.

“Oh c’mon, Lucifer. You cannot tell me you never considered doing it with Adam back in the garden.”

“Yeah, but I’m the one fucking him!”

“It’ll be just like with Eve, picture it as trying to give free will to humanity again.”

“I would not do that a second time,” he huffed looking away.

Lilith thought for a few seconds, “can’t you like use your magic to implant his seed in me? And then alternate his genes with yours?”

Now this sparked Lucifer’s interest. He raised his brows stunned, “I can,” a sly smirk revealing itself in both mischievous spouses.

“But there still will be some Adam in those genes.”

“I’ll take what I can get.”

“How are we gonna get his seed without him noticing?”

“You’ll fuck him hard, baby, get him dazed the hell out,” she smiled wickedly, chuckling by the thought, “maybe even do him with one of those kinky outfits that get you wild up, full on demon form, and then leave the rest to me~”

Lucifer’s fangs exposed themselves in their full on glory mentally savoring the image.

~~~~

Lucifer bit his lip nervously watching Adam read out a few statistics about something he wasn’t really putting attention on. He was mostly focused on planning out his strategic to court Adam to bed, it’s been awhile since he tried seducing someone. And Adam, well, fuck. That’s a whole different type of difficult.

It’s like he’s about to fight off the boss level.

Suddenly right now, Adam was looking very seductive, enticing, ravishing. He glanced up with half lidded eyes, his pierce golden looking at him with boredom.

They were so beautiful. When did Adam become so appealing?

And Lucifer could feel himself wanting to melt away from his gaze.

“Are you even listening?”

Lucifer straightens himself up, readjusting his bow, “what?”

Adam rolled his eyes, “I said if you’re okay if we divide a few of the perimeters based on their ranks? It’ll be easier to target the weaker first before scaling higher ground. It’ll also let the girls give themselves a good warm up before going for the real deal.”

Lucifer gulped. He waved his hand dismissively, “do what you want with them I don’t care.”

He poofed himself as a snake and slither his way on the table to reach Adam.

The first man arched a brow suspiciously from his closeness and obviously hating the form he had taken for. 

Lucifer poofed right back to his form and now sitting comfortable; crisscrossing his legs and in front of Adam.

“You look oddly nice today~ did you get a haircut?” Lucifer purred while leaning forward on to his palms.

Adam winced disturbed and even more confused. He glanced at his clearly covered helmet with confusion and then back at him.

Before the first man was gonna retort to his comment, his attention snapped away from the king, “hey, Arabella! Don’t pull on her hair!” Watching two of the exorcists wrestling around the floor, Arabella had yanked out from the other sister a few of her strands of hair under her mask. He got up from his seat and went to separate the two. One oh them had gotten the strength to yank Adam’s helmet off by grabbing it from the horns while he was at it; his messy fluffy hair exposed to the open, it’s gotten slightly longer.

He grumbled as he held on different sides of his hands two pouty angels, “I took forever to make those damn braids!” 

Both exorcist began giggling mischievously.

“Oh haha! Really funny,” he let go of them in a huff as they flee away from his scolding glare, “assholes!”

Okay, this was Lucifer chance to make a move. 

“I can make you braid on that luscious hair~”

“And you. What the fuck with all the weird innuendos comments!” He snarled out accusingly before stomping his way to a circle of angels that were drawing on the wall!

And bending down to his knees and taking the crayons away from them, “I told you guys not to do that!”

The things Lucifer was thinking while Adam’s ass was full on— fuck was his ass always that big? were far from holy. 

He cursed Lilith for giving him an opportunity like this to visualize her ex husband in ways he shouldn’t be.

The first man look exhausted (parenthood was doing wonders on him) and could use some time to take that steam away, why not fucking him? One of the best stress relievers out there! the idea of it was also pleasuring.

He waited until Adam sat back on his seat.

“What do you want now Lucifer?” He snarled with a glare as if he was catching on to his shit.

“I want to fuck you,” he smiled as he savored Adam’s reaction. Might as well cut to the case.

Adam went from embarrassed, to absolute confusion, then turn on rubbing at his temple in frustration.

“Just fucking wonderful the devil wants to fuck me,” he muttered annoyed under a whisper, shaking his head in disbelief, “you’re fucking with me aren’t you?”

“I want to,” he said smirkingly, seeing Adam colors drain away from his face.

“You’re being serious?” 

Lucifer tilted his head slightly with sultry eyes and a still smirking face.

“Fuck no!” Adam shouted almost too loudly causing the exorcists to turns their heads at them, “fuck you! What class of sick joke is this?” He whispered angrily at him, “wasn’t enough to have both my wives now you want—… fuck.“

Lucifer licked his lips enthralled by the many conflicted emotions on the first man’s face.

“What about Lilith? Da fuck does your loyalty stand for? Are you that much of a whore?”

The devil chuckled, not offended for the derogatory remarks of his person, “she’s okay with it, I wouldn’t be asking you if she wasn’t.”

Adam scoffed incredulously, “so this is some kink of you two freaks? Go figures. Fuck you both! I bet Lilith asked you to do this! Nasty motherfuckers.”

Lucifer laughed softly, slightly nervous that Adam wasn’t so far off, “so that’s a no? Cause I can make it even more tempting for you.. what about us three? Hmm~? You, Lilith, myself… wouldn’t you love to hav-”

“Of course it’s a fucking no! You guys really think I’d have sex with you guys after everything you’ve done to me?! Who do you guys see me as? Eve?” He laughed even dryer, the images of his second ex wife flashing through his memories, “I bet this is some kinky humiliation shit, I wouldn’t be surprised if the idea of me being fucked by you turns Lilith on. Which is why she told you. Like she’s always been petty over me never submitting to her as she would’ve wanted me to back in the garden, this is like some type of payback to get under my skin. Fucking bitch.”

Adam brushed his hair to avoid strands falling on his forehead (groaning when he noticed Holly using his helmet and making bull noises while the other girls started running away from her), clearly this suggestion has stressed him out further. He was flustered and pissed off more than anything else.

Lucifer did not expect for it to be taken this negatively, after all with Eve it wasn’t like that. She was more laid back and opened minded to try new things.

However he did not like how Adam spoke about his wife, he tried to remain composed because he needed to bed Adam.

“Oh Adam please~” he purred feigning a more submissive approach. He slowly reached out to him and placed a hand on his chest, lustrous red eyes staring deeply into the golden eyes of Adam.

Adam huffed slapping his hand off him and moving away from his seat.

“Fuck you. This meeting is over I don’t give a fuck,” he took out his phone to check his recent activity, “out of all times, they don’t call me now when I honestly would love an excuse to fucking leave!” He grumbled typing on his phone.

Lucifer shape shifted as a bird and sat on his shoulder, a desperate attempt to not let the man make his exit quicker, “Adam, it’s not as bad as you think. Were mature now, what happened at the garden was so long ago! You’ll enjoy it, I promise, if you don’t want Lily in bed with us, she can just watch us?”

“You really think I’ll fuck you? Do you see yourself so high and mighty that you think capable of banging even the guy you ruined his freaking life? Do you see me as that pathetic?” He snarled, glaring at him, “and even if I did! I won’t. I’m taken.”

Lucifer brows raised up in shock, Adam looked back at his girls.

“You’re taken?!”

“Yeah. As in ‘I’m living the best life without you assholes’ type of taken,” he dryly declared while scrolling through his phone, “okay, girls, let’s get going.”

“No! Wait!!” Lucifer spat out, almost desperately, before poofing himself back to his devil form and place himself in front of the former man, “what do you mean taken? Are you still with Eve?”

Adam rolled his eyes, “it’s not Eve. It’s somebody else that doesn’t concern you,” he shoved past him and summoned a golden portal.

He gestured the girls with a snap to take their lead making them fly through the portal in a flash and into the other realm.

And with that Adam jumped in without saying goodbye.

~~~~

“He’s taken? By who? Eve got back with him? Whose dumb enough to fall for that dick?” Lilith asked incredulous to the news, pacing around the room trying to figure out now what.

“It appears it’s not Eve, it’s somebody else. Adam refused to reveal who though,” Lucifer shrugged tiredly lying in bed.

Lilith rubbed her eyes, “Adam’s most stubborn attribute is his faithfulness. We’re never gonna get him to accept on being fucked by you. Or wait until he gets dumped.”

“So does that mean plan C?”

Lilith sighed, kicking off her heels to the side and lying face down next to him in a loud thump.

“I’m not sure about what to think of some random hellborn or sinner fucking you, with Adam it seems so simple because y’know, it’s Adam?” Lilith rolled to her side now looking at him in contemplation, “as weird as that sounds, maybe it’s the familiarity. Eden was such a simple time…”

Lucifer nodded in understanding, placing his hand on hers.

“Fine. We can try a hellborn,” Lilith decided, squeezing on to his hold, “but we’re having that baby.”

~~~~

As if it were a curse, Lucifer got fuck over 500 times in the course of a few months and none were successful on getting him pregnant. This was already a sign that the problem was far more deeper and personal than what they thought was.

Maybe father had also cursed his body? Now that was twice as cruel. Unless he was incapable of creating a child himself? Being an angel conception really wasn’t a thing back then… maybe it was Lucifer the problem.

“You should give it a shot Lily, I’m exhausted,” he laid down with some limping, he was starting to feel really bad cramping on his legs with all that rough sex.

The queen hummed, nodding, while rubbing his sides to ease the tension on his body, “I assume there’s no harm on trying. But I do believe this curse was gifted for both of us.”

They look down at each other in sadness. Giving up is now starting to become a more welcoming thing to do.

A month later it was a meeting with Adam, Lucifer prepared himself before welcoming himself in a tired and downer mood at the Heaven embassy. Adam was already there, odd that he only brought five little exorcist this time. He seemed to be expressing a similar type of vibe, however irritation and anger were plaster in his features. He didn’t even bother looking up at him, just sliding the paperwork to his side.

“Someone stuck a stick up your ass?” Lucifer pointed it out as he grabbed the documents. But no response came from Adam.

“Addy got his heart broken,“ Yushiel blurted out.

Adam almost snapped his neck to glare at them, a blush forming deeply on his cheeks, “sniches!”

“Yeah, Lute, Holly and Jolice went to throw hands-“ Amalia got her mouth covered when her sister clasped a hand on it to make her shut up.

“We’re not supposed to say that!” Yushiel whispered angrily with a far from silent tone.

“Is that where they went?” Adam looked at them incredulous, “those bitches are getting so freaking grounded.”

Lucifer looked in amusement at them then at Adam, “you’re heartbroken? Did that girlfriend of yours broke up with you?” Was this a sign of growing hope he’s sensing?

Adam huffed, “boyfriend.” The first man corrected. This stunned Lucifer more than it should have. 

Oh.

“And here I thought men wouldn’t be as complicated than woman,” Adam began nagging about the situationship he had.

“Totally,” Lucifer keep blurting out words in agreement to get on his good side. This is great news! Adam is single and is very much into men, ohoho~!

He took his phone underneath the table, texting Lilith the news.

“That bitch always had something to nag about,” Adam began the first sentence of the beginning of his soon to be one-hour rambling.

‘Just like you,’ Lucifer couldn’t help but thinking while hitting the send button.

“He complained about me leaving a mess after sex, like if I was just being lazy, sometimes I just want to go straight home after a long day. A few dirty laundry here and there isn’t gonna kill him, it’s not like I wasn’t gonna go back and grab them.”

“What a fucker.”

“I know right?!” Adam exclaims, his arms in the air exasperated, “And it’s not like I didn’t have shit to tell him too! I never told him how he rarely gave time for us. He’s always fucking busy, but like, everyone in heaven is! I am! And I still manage to squeeze him in my schedule,” he kept on rambling about his issues about the unfortunate man who thought it was a good idea to mess around with Adam. A clingy individual.

“And he’s so fucking controlling, always trying to make me do shit like he wants. He was THISS close on also trying to dress me up! I will never use a suit I don’t care what fucking meeting it is! Fucker. Okay, fine. I may had dressed up for the occasion but thats it. I’m no bitch.

But I’m a caring boyfriend, and this dude just couldn’t handle my awesomeness so he had to try changing every bit of my essence,”

“So overbearing.”

“Yes! Fuck thats what I was telling him!!”

The devil kept saying ‘no way’ ‘fuck’ ‘what a dick’ ‘you deserve better’ ‘good, tell him what’s up’ ‘such an asshole, you dealt with that?’ to everything Adam was saying.

“-it’s like everyone I’m with is trying to find something on me to excuse themselves from leaving!”

Lucifer nodded without listening while reading Lilith’s message.

>>Snatch that ass I’ll prepare the room.<< 

He smiled pleased.

“They like antagonizing me to make themselves look good, look less like a dick but they’re all fucking lying, backstabbing cunts!

Empty promises and sweet talking don’t do shit nowadays.”

The ranting took over like 20 minutes before Adam began sniffling while summoning his third plate of ribs, chewing them loudly with no care of the world, mouth full and face (mask?) filled with sauce.

“And that’s why my life sucks,” his eyes went big and watery but no tears fell down.

Lucifer sighed, intertwining his fingers while looking seriously at the first man. As if he was about to offer him the most life changing deal of his life.

“Well, Adam. The only solution here is for us to fuck.”

“Huh?” The first man almost chocked on a piece of the rib he was eating. He did not expect that.

“Think about it, don’t you want to get back at him? It seems like he didn’t appreciate you…” he slithered his way right next to him whispering into his ear with a hungry smirk, sending Adam a few chills down his spine, his hot breath against his neck, “someone like the first man deserves someone more of his rank~” he kept lying through his teeth.

They didn’t call him the king of lies for nothing.

Adam scoffed still food in his mouth, “so you’re saying I’m a wife stealing bitch? I have standards you know?”

Lucifer narrowed his eyes but immediately covered his irritation with feigned sweetness.

“Besides, what makes you think I’d slept with a low class angel?”

This made him lift a brow skeptical.

“Then who did you sleep with~?” The devil purred, following along with whatever bullshit Adam was spitting out from his mouth.

“Archangel Michael,” Adam stated with a smug smile and sharp eyes.

Lucifer happy expression fell completely, the act breaking down while all the colors drained out of his entire body.

“I also dated Azrael but we didn’t last long because Michael swoop me up,” the first man shrugged now vanishing his plate in thin air.

Lucifer’s mouth was hung open, eyes widen like plates. The devil looked at the girls in disbelief expecting confirmation of this even being true and only Yushiel thumbed up in ‘yup, pretty much’ in response.

>> Next

“So— this is a nice addition…?” The king reluctantly added to dismiss the awkwardness of this whole new environment. He smiled weakly while entwining his fingers together.

It was one of the third meetings he’s had with Adam to speak in further advance for the upcoming exterminations. HOWEVER, he did not expect for the soon to be exorcist leader to bring some company this time around. A various amount of company to be exact.

Adam groaned as he face slammed himself on the table, three baby angels yanking his mask, horns and robe while five others dangled around his side and wings holding on to his robe for dear life.

He looked… exhausted to say the least.  

“Let’s finish this shit,” Adam tiredly moved his face to look at him, revealing big eye bags even with the mask on, there was even hairs poking out from it of his growing stubble!. The mask was a weird addition to his face, but he’s just the devil and didn’t care to question the man’s odd choice of wear.

“Okay then,” Lucifer spat not wanting to dive in further to the subject of whatever parenthood crisis Adam was having, shuffling the endless amount of paperwork in front of him. But then again… he was curious. Better than having to do all that work, “didn’t know you had more children up there?”

“They’re not mine, they.. they’re the exorcists,” Adam revealed, flattening his mouth after the revelation as he straightened himself up, the dangling angels giggling in response of the movement.

Lucifer blinked three times incredulous, “heaven never mentioned babies would be the ones to fight, that’s not what we agree on-“

“It’s temporary,” Adam cut him off from the already wrong assumption, “they’ll grow..”

“So— thats why heaven wanted to wait a few more years to begin the procedure?”

“Yup.”

Lucifer only looked at him in a ‘eurghh’ manner. that was kinda fucked up, but again,  not his business. That’s heaven’s deal.

“And why are you raising them?”

“Because I’m their leader…” the first man couldn’t help but heat up.

“Ha! Thats what you get for suggesting it to begin with,” the devil couldn’t help but laugh at the turn of events. Devine justice.

“And father of humanity,” Adam finished in a sneer, growling with a hint blush on his cheeks. Clearly embarrassed of his predicament, “anyways! aren’t we supposed to be discussing about the exterminations?!” He spat now more furious, shaking his head dismissively as he snatched a few papers from the table and started reading the contents of it.

The devil chuckled as he waved his hand careless and unserious, before opting to grab a pile himself.

“Do you really want to talk about— equipment and ammunition allowed against heaven soldiers…?“ he tried reading it off but immediately got bored of it to finish. This was an unfair fight no matter how many ’pretty’ words heaven used to disguise the obvious, it shouldn’t matter to be reminded of it, but it did. It’s not like he cared for the sinners, they could all burn for all he cared, but he just hated how much heaven took advantage of their power against hell, see them as something so little and take them for stupid.

Reading the paperwork would only want to make him spit shit to Sera and those above for being dicks, he’d just disapprove of it all; knowingly it was not enough against angelic steel and demand of use of actual material that could inflect harm to the exorcists but for heaven that would guarantee rejection, “it’s not something we don’t already know,” he tried remaining calm as he watched the first man continue reading the paper in hand, oblivious of his growing hatred.

A yawn startled him back away from his thoughts. Lucifer pouted as he watched Adam trying to shoo tiny hands away from yanking on his cheeks, a ringing was heard in his pocket and the angel went to grab it lazily.

“Hello?” Adam groggily and rudely answered the call mid-meeting, scratching his head with his now free hand as the exorcists babies flew away from him still flight wobbly as they were mere beginners on the whole flying thing.

Lucifer side eyed a floating baby bumping against one of the vacant chairs there, now returning his attention on the call.

“Yeah, yeah. I’m kinda in the middle of something?” The first man rambled while groaning, “I’m literally sitting in front of Lucifer right now, that’s how busy I am. Our damn meeting! About the exterminations??” He shouted almost incredulous to whoever he was speaking with.

“Fine, fine. Whatever. Just– like right now?” Adam winced glancing at a confused Lucifer who awkwardly watched silently, before returning his gaze on the angel babies that started drooling on his golden wings, “okay, give me 2 minutes, this better be quick I have to finish work before Sera gets on my throat about it.”

The angel hangs up with a loud annoyed sigh, he stood up abruptly and slammed both hands on the table, “I’ll be right back.”

Lucifer was about to ask what was that supposed to mean, protest that he didn’t have the time to be waiting around for inconveniences and foolishness like this but Adam didn’t let him finish.

“Look, man, I didn’t ask for this either but your damn brother is asking for my attendance and I cannot say no to him.“ He snapped his fingers summoning a golden portal but what was really odd is that he shook his wings making the angel babies that still remained attached to him float their way to the table. 

Again, he was about to say something about this. But was rudely interrupted.

“Unless you want us to rearrange another meeting to finish this conversation?” Okay, that shut him up, “I thought so,” Adam looked at him with half lidid eyes. 

The king gestured visibly stressed at the babies that hogged his entire space now, “what about this?! Are you forgetting to take them with you? Parent of the year everybody!” He gestured to the imaginary crowd around them to emphasize his sarcasm.

“I’ll be back, asshole. I can’t take them with me to the council of archangels can I? Just watch them for me while I get back,” Adam rolled his eyes before plucking off his helmet and tossing it to the floor revealing his bare face (dear heavens he looked twice as worse), styling his hair to the side making it look neat and tidy, summoning on his golden with white robe instead of the purple with spikes that he was using.

“I’m the literal devil!” Lucifer spat incredulous. He’s not a babysitter!

“You’ll be fine,” Adam waved dismissively as if the devil was the one being put in danger instead of the angel babies, now entering the portal and vanishing in an instant.

Motherfucker! He looked stunned at the army of babies that floated aimlessly inside the room, some already causing damage at the pile of paperwork left behind and the remaining ones daring to approach him with clawing hands.

“You guys better stay away!” He warned with fire coming out from his mouth but it didn’t seem to scared them off, in fact, that encouraged them.

~~~~

Adam sigh finally entering the portal and now is standing right back in the heaven embassy.

“Now, the two warriors began fighting viciously until one of them made a bold move at his neck, a quick slice to be exact, and stabbed him straight into his rib, one lost control of his weapon, it was painful, a pain warrior 1 never in his life has ever experience before,“ The devil narrated perfectly what he was reading from a big red book that floated in front of him with magic, his voice hold a lot of enthusiasm, eyes beaming brightly as three of his angels sat on his lap and the other remaining on the floor in a circle around them, clearly very interested in the story, “blood splattered everywhere as warrior 2 continued deepening his sword at him making it impossible for warrior 1 to grab his spear and defend himself. His wings flapped desperately for an escape by the agonizing pressure being put on them-“ Lucifer looked up immediately.

The first man blinked confused on what was going on, once the devil turned his gaze to look at him; he straightened his posture immediately from being caught, clearing his throat and now acting as he weren’t just now enthusiastic about telling a story to the small little army of exorcist.

“What took you so long?” The devil scowled at him, but he didn’t seem too angry about the delay, “it’s already night.”

“Not my fault hell night is earlier and heaven’s morning is longer. But the reminder, that it’s still fucking morning over there,” Adam grunted while rubbing his forehead, “I have a lot of shit to do so let’s finish this already.”

And with that, Lucifer and Adam actually took their meeting seriously, taking their part of the wagon and working on it, tossing here and there some insults and also giving details of the exterminations.

The babies moving back and forth from the first man to the devil giggling and drooling all over their papers oblivious of their responsibilities and just being adorable.

The devil must admit, he can now see the appeal on wanting children it was a nice feeling to have a small creature look up at you like if you were their whole universe, pride never felt better. He never understood that concept when it came to the humans but lately Lilith had been suggesting to keep on trying to conceive one themselves, but it always left him a bitter feeling in his stomach every time he watched his wife cry herself to sleep when they’ve failed miserably on doing so. He’d do the hard part which was to bury the little creatures that weren’t even near as developed to be consider alive, but it was nothing as close to what he pictures his wife has to go through while having them die inside her womb. Still painful. 

She was very strong, the strongest woman he’s ever met. But there was times where she’d break to a point of delusion, a point that she even suggest finding Eve and force conception on her, one of the darkest sides he’s ever seen of Lilith just like when she once suggested to snatch Adam from earth (being the ‘cause’/ reason of her misery that he deserved to go through the pain with her, give her what she was taken unfairly) and see if the curse God had granted her would go away if she slept with him. But that idea was not pleasant for either of them. At the end of the day, it was all hurt speaking for her and she meant nothing in regard on wanting to harm both Eve or Adam. Even if she thought it was unfair for both humans to be able to conceive children like rabbits while they couldn’t even conceive one.

However, his wife never gives up in what she oh dearly wanted and he promised to do everything to please her in any way, give her the world if he could. And he would. Somehow he’ll find a way.

Even if it broke his heart in pieces every time he failed. 

Having spend time with the small children of Adam made him realize why Lilith desperately wanted one of her own. So innocent, filled with life and oblivious to all the dangers surrounding them. But, he can’t say for sure having never had a child, and seeing Adam like shit made him slightly nervous for parenthood.

But he had Lilith with him, both would work together to figure it out. They were a team after all. 

He glanced carefully at the first man who scribbled things on his papers, bored eyes with a long yawn, an three exorcist babies mimicking him as they laid comfortingly on him, two rested peacefully on his hunched back, some on top of his wings, one on his head and another dangle on his left shoulder. They all looked comfortable and safe nuzzling on to their father.

His heart beating loudly feeling a warm and tight feeling in his chest, he yearn to be in Adam’s place soon, even if it looks rough it seems to be as rewarding as it is to be challenging.

With a surprise look he looked down at his lap and one exorcist baby had taking that spot to sleep on. He wanted to cry.

~~~~

With every meeting it became one of his favorite highlights of his calendar, the more he spent time with the exorcists babies the more his heart fluttered with the idea of having one of his own. He won’t deny that also giving the first man a break was also a nice addition to him enjoying their meetings.

He’d sit down and acted interested on what the first man had to say about the exterminations, while subtly playing around with the little bundles of joy, pretty much handling the babies as Adam would complain about shit he didn’t care about but somewhat release all that tension and stress he was holding back. 

Now don’t get him wrong, he despised Adam with all his might but that didn’t mean he couldn’t feel sympathy for the man who was once his friend at some point. He’s literally raising twenty kids (for what he’s told, he has more up in heaven) on his own with no partner, just alone doing all that hard work plus having to do daily tasks and other duties, also having to lead the upcoming exterminations (dick), he doesn’t cut himself some slack. Never let himself be put down no matter all the hardships he was given, which is a admiring trait of his he could give him that as the closest compliment he could ever give him.

Still, it looked overwhelming, he cannot imagine what is it like. However he’s seen Lilith go through the same amounts of work to lift up hell and keep in it’s all burning glory. Rarely sleeping, resting or having time for herself. So, equals and alike, like they were firstly born. Similar in a way that it was basically uncanny to not notice.

Neither would give up when they were determined on something, which was funny enough the reason of their broken marriage back in the garden. Lilith and Adam were too independent for each other, too alike, to tempered headed, head strong, stubborn in their wants and wanted order. But wanted to be the one to lead that sorts of order.

Which is why they couldn’t work out, ever.

They were so determined in being the one to hold charge in their relationship they forgot the most important thing that sustained one, which was love, trust, communication, partnership. But mostly love.

So it demolished the moment Lilith grew tired of their constant fighting. Adam was stubborn to ever submit to his wife.

So was Lilith to her husband.

Surprisingly as much as Adam was a dick and a nuisance to be around with he always got his shit finished and always went immediately to the point (to get things done quicker). He did his work even with the complaints and constant nagging he’d do while doing so. 

Nonetheless worked his wings off to the point he could see feathers fall off from the stress of overworking.

He watched Adam’s droopy eyes signing paperwork across the other side of the table, completely oblivious of his staring. When he was actually concentrated on something you could actually take him seriously, he was actually quite… good looking in that sense.

Fuck, he’s drifting off again. He decided to focus on one of the girls that played with his hat. He chuckled lightly as one girl seemed to have difficulty in taking the apple.

“Just like her father,” he— said that out loud didn’t he?

He looked at Adam’s sharp eyes that glanced at him, seemingly not believing of the audacity, “seriously? Fuck you,” immediately taking offense over the apple and the comment.

~~~~

He was there when some of the girls began speaking their first words, he was there when some took their first step, no use of wings! It was a marvelous experience. Adam let him experience such a beautiful thing as if it were nothing? Maybe it was because he had thousands of them that the joy wasn’t as intense as it was for him to witness firsthand.

Adam typically would bring the same ten angels to their meetings, so he knew their names but was not allowed to see their faces unfortunately.

Holly, Yushiel, Jolice, Ivanna, Amira, Bianca, Lute, Amalia, Violet and Arabella.

But, in one of his slip ups the first man unintentionally lifted the mask off one of them (out of habit he supposed) to wipe clean the messy snot that dripped down out of her nose like water fountains. He was grumpy that morning, grumbling and drinking a sip of coffee that he had on the side, while outta the blue he lifted the mask of one of his girls to wipe her nose.

“Violet, stop moving mama I’m trying to get rid of all of that yucky stuff off you,” he stated firmly trying to get rid of any left trails of snot.

Lucifer was stunned to the sight of the little angel without the mask. The angelic essence was now noticeable without that layer of fabric covering her face, it made her actually look like an angel. A fragile little creature who barely knew anything of the world they lived on.

Adam looked at him suspicious, “what?” Then, realization struck his eyes as he covered her face poorly with the mask backwards, “fuck! You weren’t supposed to see that.”

Lucifer quickly shook his hand left to right with a nervous laugh, “no worries I didn’t see anything. Actually, I think I may have went temporarily blind for a few seconds.”

Adam arched a brow before chuckling lightly, “okay, thanks. For “not” seeing my girl’s identity,” he added almost too softly, before turning the mask and adjusting it right this time of the little giggling angel.

“Do you know why they need to be covered while being small? It’s not like once grown they’ll be recognized.”

“It really depends. Down here in hell it’s a must for safety reasons but also up there to prevent any leading judgment from some of the other citizens, they may be serving heaven but not all share the same sentiment with the exterminations. This is just to make it easier for them to walk around heaven without having to put up with their shit while off duty or some shit like that, but if they want to take off their mask they can. Right now though? they’re not allowed, Raphael claims is to prevent the little ones from feeling outcasted by their peers and I completely agree with that asshole,” Adam swirled his chair around while the babies ’weee’ around with him. 

Lucifer can tell from Adam’s eyes that he was trying to shrug it off like it was something usual and unimportant, but he could see Adam’s worries even under the mask.

So he tried letting that go and change the subject. In this whole period Lucifer grew to fall endeared by the exorcists army, he also managed to see other sides of Adam he would’ve never picture seeing. At least now for sure he can confirm that Adam did take his parenting seriously.

However when time went on Lilith started pointing it out, of course Lilith would know about Adam’s unprofessional ways from bringing angel children to a meeting even is that said meeting was just the devil and the first man. Lucifer personally did not care, it made things fun and less boring. Still, she claimed that not only did it look wrong from Adam’s part but it was awful of Lucifer’s to let it slide. Both awful representatives of Hell and Heaven. 

Though she let the subject go seeing nothing too unordinary when it came to her ex husband’s antics ‘that’s such an Adam thing to do, bringing his spawns down to the same place they’ll haunt down countless of souls in’ but with all the constant yapping of her husband about whatever he did inside the meeting it started ticking her off. Like for example he’d mentioned one of the girls had upgraded to scribbling the walls (for Adam’s displeasure; having to clean that shit up later because of Sera) he told her how this girl in particular made him a small little drawing for him! The king of hell! “She made me a drawing, Lily! Me! The king of hell! Look!” He exclaimed it as if were the biggest accomplishment of his entire existence, showing off the poorly drawn figure of Lucifer, “you should’ve seen Adam’s face he was pissing of jealousy haha!” This hurt Lilith in many ways that shouldn’t have and snapped at the devil for being so inconsiderate of her feelings, starling the man in shock and then hurt.

“If you like them so much why don’t you go fuck Adam instead! Clearly I cannot give you that you’re looking for!”

That was enough to shut Lucifer up, Lilith realized how loud she sounded and apologized for snapping at him but told him she did not wanted to hear him talk about his time with the children of Adam. Aside from the obvious which was about the exterminations, anything else aside from the whole purpose of the meeting was not of her interest.

But the king could tell there was slight envy in the complaints and wording of his wife, she’d also tell him it felt like mockery from God himself for not being able to have her own children while the first man was raising dozens in front of them. Adam was oblivious to these struggles how can Lucifer find his way to blame him? He told Lilith that the first man was just unable to leave the kids alone because no one in heaven liked handling them and were also his responsibility.

He found himself defending the first man then siding entirely with Lilith. Which surprised him. Cause why? Well, Lilith couldn’t always blame Adam for everything wrong that goes wrong with her. Same did the first man to blame Lilith for many other things, but he would not dive in further on that matter.

The issue at hand right now is that Lilith was not liking one bit that he was growing too attached to the exorcists babies.

Eventually anger became bottling inside the devil as well, so far he’s done as told, he kept himself from sharing his new found joy with the one person he thought he could shared everything with. He wanted to spread that same joy to Lilith but she wanted nothing to do with it and it hurt him, he was also having a hard time not being able to have his own with Lilith, he struggled too. He felt like a complete failure, incompetent of fulfilling his wife’s wishes yet he acted strong to help Lilith stand up. But, she has not yet consider what he felt? 

However with all those conflicting feelings inside he battled up the inner demons from lashing out, understanding where it all came from. He just can’t find it in him to complain because that was his love and she was hurting more than anyone. He had no right to complain.

No right…

“Lucifer?” 

Lucifer blinked startled, it had been months since that day Lilith lashed out on him. And he kept his promise from not telling her a words about the exorcists children.

However…

“Yes darling?” He asked as he cut through his steak. They were inside the dining room enjoying their lovely evening together eating in silence.

“So..” she struggled to address him something which was unfamiliar of her part. This made him immediately stop what he was doing to put his full attention on her.

“Has Adam kept bringing his spawns to your meetings?”

Lucifer arched a brow before cleaning his mouth with a napkin, “I thought you did not want to know about Adam’s kids?“ the way he phrased it was a lot harsher then he would’ve wanted to sound like.

Lilith scoffed taken at back from his dismissive attitude, she began cutting her food in small pieces, “I was just curious thats all. I suppose I forgot I told you not to tell me, I was wondering why you no longer mention about them so I figured Adam must’ve stopped bringing them..”

“You forgot?” That ticked Lucifer off. He bend the fork he was holding unaware of his anger settling in, “you made sure I didn’t speak of them anymore when I just wanted to give you a piece of what I’ve been feeling around them. I wanted to spread that same joy to you, and I respected your wishes to keep quiet about it cause I know you’re hurting. But ‘forgetting’ about it and then ask me why I haven’t spoken to you about them as if I no longer share things with you just confuses me more than give me comfort Lilith.”

Her fierce eyes softened in what seems to be guilt.

“I didn’t mean to upset you, Lucifer.”

The king sighed pushing his plate away and standing up, “I know that! But I’m also hurting, Lilith. I always prioritizing what you feel! I do everything to keep you away from all this grief, for you to not weaken yourself, I’m the shoulder you could lean and cry on! I’ll go against all the laws of the universe just to make you happy! and I’ll do it again over and over to keep you happy! But—! 

But they’re times I feel it’s not as reciprocal as we think it is. I’m just as a mess as you are! I cry my ass to sleep because I feel incapable of fulfilling you, I feel like I’m a failure to you. But when have you noticed my own pain? My grief? My lost? Where is my support when I need it, when I’m at my weakest.

Ever since fucking Eden it always been you I tried to protect, shield, give my whole entire being for. And yet, I feel…”

“I never asked for you to do any of those things for me, Lucifer.”

“But I did because I love you! My actions are based on what my heart tells me to do. And it always comes to the same conclusion that I want you to be happy.

These kids… they’ve lifted me up from the dark chambers that have been fogging my heart with each attempt we do; I break, lose hope, no longer do I dream of the possibility of having our family as we wish. But when I spend time with them, I become positive, hopeful again that one day it’ll be our child in my arms, that giggle and cry, watching with the most big curious eyes in hopes to be protected and filled with love. It keeps me strong and make me not want to give up yet even if it takes long to happen. It will happen, one day it would.

And I wanted to share my experience with the angels to you in hopes for it to do the same for you, maybe it could be enough to keep us from pushing things too quickly.”

“Lucifer, I know your heart is in the right place.. but hear yourself! Those same children you speak of are the same angels that would come for hell and kill our people! How can you expect me to not feel uncomfortable with the idea of you growing attached and spending time with the exorcists!

You’re spending time with the future murderers of hell!”

“Just listen to me…. They’re still babies. They don’t know what hatred even is.. they’re innocent from heaven’s corruption. They’re not at fault of their ways!”

“They’ll grow and will be taught differently from us! They will grow to resent and hate us. You’re the king of hell, you mustn’t weaken yourself!

When the exterminations begin what do you think will happen? Those same “innocent” little girls would turn to bloody cold monsters. Thats literally what they’re made for!

These dreams of wanting to have a bond with creations like them is like the one you dreamt on having with Eve and Adam. One being submissive to her husband the other unable to accept heaven was incapable of being wrong. And look where that took us! If you would’ve listened, And just brought Eve with us we could’ve escaped from the garden! Make earth our kingdom. Not be punished and fallen.”

“That’s not certain! The archangels would’ve found us-“

“But nooo!,” Lilith cut him off, her tone rising just a little. Resentment surfacing up, “You had to try and convince Adam to join us, knowing that fucker is as dense, hot headed and stubborn—“

“Like you?!” Lucifer spat in the heat of the moment, his horns out, red fury eyes glaring at her. Blaming him was not gonna take this conversation anywhere but to worsen shit up. Lilith’s eyes widened left speechless, her cheeks warming up in embarrassment, “equal even from the same dirt you two were made of,” he snarled with so much venom, the reminder hitting Lilith in places that broke down her pride.

She was in fact Adam’s equal.

Lucifer sighed, not wanting to go on deeper with that Eden topic. He continued with the real matter at hands, “but for now they’re still young… it helps for this experience to hurt less. All of this.. it hurts me…and it may not be the same for you but I’m exhausted. I can’t dwell with the idea of having to bury another of our children. At least not now! I want a break, I need a break, Lilith!

I don’t care what you think about the exorcists, I’m still gonna play with them and tell them stories while their dad is losing his shit on the phone. It helps with my fucking sanity. I’m not gonna judge them just based off the purpose they were made for. It can change.. it did to me? The other fallen angels, you.. Eve… maybe, kinda?.. 

And even if it doesn’t I’ll be prepared.”

Lilith kept silent and he took this as a signal for him to leave.

“I’ll be at my workshop.”

It wasn’t long before he heard a knock at the door. His head was sunk into his arms while his head rested defeated on his work desk. It was the first time in like forever he has ever spoke to Lilith in such way.

He didn’t give a answer right away but he heard the door creak open and he didn’t bother from looking up, too upset to even protest or look at her eyes. He knew it was Lilith.

Her warm embrace wrapped around his shoulders as he began sobbing uncontrollably. Finally breaking down in front of his wife since his fall. Ugly cries from the countless of years of holding in these dark feelings for himself.

She rested her cheek on his head, gently rubbing his arm and humming a soft tune to ease him down. 

After calming down they talked for like it had seemed to be an eternity. Everything that bother them was out in the open in that same room.

He never felt so strongly connected to his wife as from that night on forward.

They agreed on with terms that left them pleased on both ends.

Lucifer still could speak about the exorcists children and Lilith would try her hardest to listen and even give it a shot at least once on meeting the little spawn of heaven (even if that meant having to deal with Adam for an hour or two).

While for Lilith’s end, they would still try at least every three months which was enough for Lucifer to swallow the courage and strength to continue their journey of conceiving. She also wanted to give herself time to do research for conception and possible solutions. Lucifer suggested alternatives but she denied, wanting to experience the pregnancy like Eve had.

She was always very eager (so technically waiting for three months was literally a hell for her unlike for Lucifer) and determined with the things she wanted, even go to higher extents to archive them. So Lucifer would just have to deal with that as it was one of the qualities that he fell in love with about her and also, because he loved her too much to deny anything. This was her end of the deal after all. So he must please her will like she will to his.

~~~~

Both first humans stared at each other with displeasure. Adam winced his eyes seeing Lilith enter the room and sat in one of the vacant seats next to Lucifer, clearly uncomfortable herself.

They did not break their gazes as a silent war for asserting dominance.

“Lilith,” Adam was the first to break the silence between them, dry and emphasizing his displeasure in his tone.

“Adam,” Lilith snapped back with the same tone.

Lucifer only pouted awkwardly in his seat as he turned his focus on all of the children of Adam jumping on him with bright smiles and big warm hugs to greet him. These same hugs warming the devil’s heart in ways he expects his first born to do.

The only exception to not greet him was one particular angel that stood on Adam’s lap focusing on the paperwork of her leader.

Adam’s phone began ringing and buzzing in one of the pockets of his robe making him grunt and having to break the glaring contest with Lilith. Which only made Lilith smirk triumphantly.   

“Hello? Da fuck do you want now,” the first man already drifting his attention away from the two rulers, not giving a flying fuck of seeming rude and unprofessional to them.

Lilith began scanning the room uncomfortable, glancing at her husband very so often while he entertained the children with puppets. She half smiled when a few of the exorcists started hanging on to her, some grabbing her horn. Her eye twitched slightly not comfortable with all of touchiness, she’s had carried hellborn children before. And it’s always been great and gave her serotonin with how cute they were. But heavens? This was new and it left her sour knowing these kids would become the killers of her people, also resentment. The opposite feeling than what she felt holding one of her people. She still couldn’t comprehend how can Lucifer warm up to them so quickly knowingly of what they would do.

She looked to the side and watched that one small exorcist that remained indifferent and distant from them. She was still on Adam’s lap now shuffling the paperwork, looking through them as if she already knew what was up. Ready for work and to serve. 

Ready to kill.

Now that one seemed far more interesting for her than all of these other ones that were more affectionate and open to the rulers of hell.

Lilith can already tell that one is gonna be one of the top ones to lead the exorcists.

If she were honest, she’d prefer if they were all alike to that one, it be easier to not feel bad shooing the children away from her. And it’ll probably makes things easier for Lucifer to not grow further attached to them. But unfortunately, it seems Lucifer was already to far in. Pampering them with compliments and making silly faces to make them laugh, as much as she loved seeing her husband happy she couldn’t help but feel sick to the image.

She decided to focused on Adam’s seemingly ‘important’ conversation instead of the affectionate display. 

“Okay, but I will STILL be back in an hour. My schedule literally says 10 to 11:30 extermination meeting in hell with Lucifer Morningstar,” Adam rubbed his temple clearly frustrated, “how many fucking times do I have to tell you guys?! Oh? Do you want to come down here instead and deal with this shit yourself? I thought so you twink slim bitch.”

Now this was entertaining enough for the queen.

“It’s not that complicated to fucking wait! Inpatient motherfuckers, how can you guys expect me to be everywhere and do everything at the same time? Why do you guys even need me in those meetings?! Yeah, yeah I’m ‘father of humanity’, yeah, yeah I’m fucking proud having had toss and wash dirty cloths full of smeared shit from my children pooping their asses for years was the most honoring thing of my entire existence,” Adam turned his chair away from the piercing gaze of his ex wife, also making the small little exorcist girl loose her hold of the papers, “I’m only there to listen to you guys rant about some dumb shit and not even expect actual feedback from the rest. Representing ‘my’ people isn’t enough for me to deal with the headache of hearing Sera’s scolding my ass for missing work.”

Lilith glanced at Lucifer, whispering, “does he always do that?”

Lucifer shrugged, already use to it still focusing on his little puppet show, “yeah. It takes like twenty minutes for the meeting to actually start.”

After a few minutes Adam finally ended his call, by this point Lilith was holding up a deer puppet. 

The first man let out an annoyed groan, his wings puffing while they extended a little bit.

“Sir, were they bothering you again?” The little angel on his lap spoke. 

Adam sighed tiredly, from where the king and queen seated they couldn’t see that Adam was gently caressing her hair but they assumed that what was going on cause there wasn’t much of a response from him aside from, “you know the drill, danger bitch.”

With a quick swirl Adam returned his focus back on them, the man intertwined his fingers together in a much ‘serious’ fashion, his head plumped tiredly on her head while the exorcist kept frowning in a glare with crossed arms at them, a pout to show how tough she was, “okay traitor fucks, let’s get this over with.”

So far the meeting went alright, Lilith was not surprised to see that Lucifer wasn’t really paying attention to the whole meeting, leaving it all to her to handle. 

Adam was being a dick most of the time, but Lilith had already assumed that would be something she was gonna deal with regardless, if it involved Adam.

The bitter, petty comments were easy to shrug off but the thing she couldn’t ignore was how Adam dealt with the exorcists. As far as he was tired, busy and focused on the meeting he was also being a ‘parent’ making sure they were attended or not causing much of a distraction. Scolding a few, ruffling their hair or complaining about not painting on the walls to those he knew well enough would do just that.

Lilith was envying the first man for being so neutral about it, pretty much shoving it to her face about how experienced he was of being a parent that it already came out as second nature to him. While here she was unable to have that skill.

She hold it together as much as she could, but it was starting to hurt when the exorcists began placing stickers on Adam’s fake horns and giving him small smooches on it while he remained focused on the task at hand.

It was incredible how used to it he was. She chose to glance at Lucifer to not feel the tightening sensation growing in her chest but she was welcomed with almost the same image. Being her husband getting covered with unicorn stickers on his face, he was beaming so proudly too.

While here Lilith sat with no stickers or a kiss, not that she wanted any from Adam’s spawn… She decided to recheck the documents Adam had passed them. Trying to make sure heaven wasn’t being sneaky about shit and hiding invisible agreements.

She almost blinked out a tear when she felt something sticky on her cheek. She glanced to her side and was greeted with two white ‘eyes’ and a stitched bird beak smile. The little exorcist went her way to place stickers all over her. To her arms, hair, face, even her ears. And in less then seconds she was already being ‘attacked’ by six other.

Okay. She can see the appeal of what Lucifer was telling her about.

~~~~

Months passed from this and Lilith refused on showing up to any other meetings but she still was willing to hear Lucifer out about the exorcists and their growing development.

However, with more time passing, Lucifer began aching for more. So—

“No,” Adam spat dryly. 

“C’mon buddy~” Lucifer singed in an almost pleading attempt, “look, just for like a day I swear Violet will be safe and at my watch.”

“Literally why it’s crazy of you to even assume I’d let you: the devil. Take my girl to yours and Lilith’s torture cave.”

Lucifer rolled his eyes, “we do not live in a cave-“ 

“But it’s torturous.”

“-And it’s only for a day which for you is like still today, you barely would even notice she’s gone. Not even the other angels or Sera would notice one missing because you have a whole batch of them and they’re all masked up.”

Adam glared, squinting his eyes as he leaned downward to his face looking straight into his eyes, “look, one thing is letting you play with them at the meeting another is to let you TAKE one of them with you. They’re not pets, Lucifer. I know you have zero idea what it’s like to having an actual child at you care but trust me they aren’t like the animals you see or the already grown up born angels that poof into existence.

Believe it or not but I do take seriously my responsibility on them. I noticed each and every one of these little fucks if they’re not around or feeling ill about something.”

“Adam, This is why I’m asking you to lend her to me! It will help me and Lilith prepare ourselves for parenting. We don’t know shit about babies. If you didn’t know we are trying to have our own~”

The first man rolled his eyes indifferent to the news, “I don’t give a fuck that you’re having sex. You’re not taking my girl and that’s final.”

Lucifer face frowned disappointed. 

He jumped at the first man making him stumble backwards as Lucifer wrapped his legs and arms around his stomach, pathetically, “PLEASEEEEE ITS JUST FOR A DAY,” the devil cried out making Adam cringe himself claiming internally death as his only solution on getting out of this, “I promise Violet will be treated like a princess.”

Adam rolled his eyes, trying his darn hardest to get the roach off him.

“As being the princess of hell is something she’d want,” he sarcastically added.

The king looked to his side seeing little Violet playing with some blocks on the other side of the room, completely oblivious of their conversation.

Lucifer would not deny that he’s grown more fond to her being the only one he’s seen maskless, it made a real difference being able to see more of the living being underneath the uniform. So far it’s clear these were just soldier children. Nothing more but with one purpose and no other thing to link them as. The blank eyes were unsettling from times, almost soulless looking, you were almost oblivious of what they could be. But without the mask, you can see the spark of light in their eyes. Full of dreams and wonder. The actual fucking child and not the killing machine. 

That they were much more for them to give than just serve as heaven’s trash dump. Poor babies having to do all the dirty work cause those old fucks were cowards to do it themselves.

Dooming them to sin and possibly fall. 

Corrupting their souls with darkness and hatred.

Unfortunate really.

“Can you get off of me!” Adam tossed Lucifer to the ground, unwrinkling his robe while he was straightening himself up, “Lucifer, I don’t want them…” he sighed, grabbing a chair and slumping himself down on it.

“Lucifer. They’re supposed to hate you. I don’t want them to get attached and get all soft. Cause that’ll make them vulnerable to you, to the sinners, to hell, fuck.. heaven—“ he frowned looking at his feet, taking a deep breath, “they can’t. I will fail them, if one of them die because they go all sparkles and feeling guilty about what they do because ‘ohh but they’re not as bad’ it’s a mistake on my part. It will be my downfall if I lose one of them. I’m supposed to be raising cold fierce warriors not…,” Adam glanced at the exorcists who were taking turns on using Lucifer’s hat. The devil also followed the man’s gaze, saddened.

“Not children.”

Lucifer winced pitiful, now looking back at Adam. He sees the stress and worries in how tense his body look, not even his mask could cover up his down look expression.

He grabbed the first man’s hands startling him, “Adam, I promise you that none of the exorcists would die while the exterminations begin. It’s literally basically impossible for sinners to actually hurt them.”

It was kinda fucked up of his part that he was so indifferent towards sinners, preferring to care more for the exorcists than his own people. But Lucifer did not care, if he did he wouldn’t have agreed on the extermination; they were all awful and disgusting, while these literal babies were innocent, literal angelscompared to them.

“And under my watch, even if it were possible I would not let that happen.”

Adam frowned uncertain of his claims but pushed his hands aways.

“Fine. You can take her but I SWEAR-“ Lucifer’s eyes lit up excitement building up, “if she comes back traumatized I will make sure you’ll regret it. And it’s just for tomorrow!”

In so long has Lucifer ever felt this excited over something since his fall, he began jumping energetic around the first man with millions of ‘thankyouthankyouthankyou!’ While Adam was already regretting his decision.
