TW: Sudden Infant Death (syndrome)

There was a loud, painful wail that shook the very foundation of the Morningstar Manor — hell even all of the Pride Ring.

Lucifer was devastated.

His son, Liam Morningstar, was dead.

His body was cold and stiff, lifeless. Lucifer didn’t know what had happened. He woke up like normal, checked over his son, and thought he was sleeping peacefully.

But Liam always made the softest little bleat-like snores in his sleep.

But the baby was as silent as a grave.

Lucifer picked him up and felt the stiff, yet limp, baby’s body. When Lucifer realized what was happening he immediately tried to resurrect his baby.

Mouth to mouth.

Magic transfers.

But nothing was working.

What got Lucifer to cry out was seeing his baby’s eyes. His eyelids were somehow open, and for a moment that gave Lucifer hope.

But that hope immediately died when he saw them clouded over with his pupils blown out.

His son has died in his sleep…

Liam had been dead all night.

Lucifer held his baby’s body close, crying out in sheer sorrow. He remembered feeding the boy to his chest the night before, his little ear twitching with enjoyment as he made the cutest noises as he fed.

Then Lucifer gave Liam a diaper change and laid him in his crib like he did every night.

But his son fell asleep and never woke up again — leaving the King of Hell praying to those who had banished him to return his son. Even praying to his father, God.

But like always, his prayers were unanswered.
