"So this is really happening?" Tristan asked Issy. "Yup! This is gonna be so fun!"

Today was a special day. Tristan and Issy, with a bit of help from Ambrose, were preparing for the arrival of two very special guest.

"It's your birthday dear, and it's gonna be the best day ever!" Issy said as they finished cleaning their home's living room, the door rang. Issy went to answer it, with Tristan shortly behind her.

"My baby boy, Happy Birthday!" As she embraced her son, Lilith could only think of the joy and happiness. She finally gets to bring the best chocolate in the world to her son, in person, on his birthday.

"Greetings Isodele. Much appreciated. This brings much joy to my love, and therefore, I am grateful that you arranged this." Samael said as he walked into the living room behind Issy.

"No problem. We're all family, and we love Tristan, so we might as well celebrate together."

"Yes. There is truth in the words you speak."

Sitting in kitchen, Tristan was showing Lilith some of the technology on the Surface.

"And this machine allows the speedy cooking of all matters of food placed within it?"

"Yah. Microwaves are super handy when you wanna eat, but not really take the time to cook."

"Oh, so many new things. Samael, we must bring one of these back with us." Lilith said as Samael and Issy sat at the kitchen isle, watching the two people they love.

"It shall be done." Issy just giggled at the scene before her.

"Mother?"

"Yes Tristan?"

"I have something for you, stay here please."

As Tristan walked upstair, Lilith sat next to Samael and Issy.

"Oh, thank you Isodele. This time with Tristan is my favorite time of all." Then she grabbed ahold of Samael. "Well, besides my time with Samael." A slight smirk could be seen briefly on his face.

"It's no problem. Family time is the best time. But, can you close your eyes?"

"But, why would I do that dear."

"Just do it. Trust me. It's a surprise."

As Lilith closed her eyes, Tristan slowly walked up behind her, and placed a rectangular box in front of her.

"You can open your eyes and look down." Tristan said as he came to stand beside Issy.

"What is this?"

"Just open it."

Slowly opening the box, Lilith revealed a small portrait of herself standing next to Samael in full royal attire, with Tristan in between them in an attire suited to a Prince of Hell, as he held a regally dressed Issy, with the background of Samael and Lilith castle in Camelot.

"Oh, this is beautiful." She looked at him. "But, why are you giving this to me?"

Tristan smiled.

"Well. Today isn't just my birthday. It's also Mother's Day." Lilith still looked a little puzzled, along with Samael. So, Tristan continued.

"Today it is common for people on the surface to show their respect, appreciation, and love for the one they call Mother." Lilith's face started to understand the meaning of the moment, but Tristan continued.

"What I'm trying to say is… I love you mom, and Happy Mother's Day."

That did it. The dam broke, and Lilith held her son close as she cried. Ever so often you could hear her say her love and thanks to her little boy. Issy could be found crying on Samael's shoulder, as Samael looked upon the scene with appreciation, and if you looked close enough love within his eyes.

In between sobs, Issy could be heard telling Samael.

"Just wait until Father's Day Sammy. You're next."

A slight smile could clearly be seen upon Samael's face as he pat Issy's head, and thought, Yes. This is what he fights Lucifer for. His Family Time. "Lilith, do not forget to give him his birthday present."

"Is it a Dragon!?" Issy just wants a baby dragon. She thinks it will be cute to have in the shop.

"No." Samael is not gonna let that happen.

"You're right dear." She look Tristan dead in the eye. "How do you feel about being a big brother again?"

Tristan's shock turned into glee, but it was Issy who reacted first, with an ear splitting squeal, that unfortunately Samael had full force of.

Yeah, Family Time just got a new addition.
