Drama with the Devil
Nero Fanfic

Pt. 9

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone

It was settled… your little boy was coming in a few more months and Nero was there with you for always. Your stomach grew out more and more. You were nine months pregnant and the baby would be coming any day now. You sat on the couch that night, watching Sponge Bob and eating ice cream and pickles. There was something about that insane sponge and his starfish friend that made you into this show. Nero was out on a mission while you waited. His jobs have been shorter lately and you were happy to see him everyday. He'd come home either completely exhausted or extremely hyper. Today, he was the second one, oh boy.

"Hey baby, whatcha doin?" He said, entering the house with a mile wide grin on his face.

"Watchin' SpongeBob." You smiled back, scooping a spoonful of ice cream in your mouth and taking a bite out of a pickle.

"I wasn't talkin to youuuu I was talking to Angelo." He laughed, making a face and making you laugh.

"Well, he's fine."

"Good. He should be here any day now, right? I hope I'm here."

"Yeah… and he should be patient enough to wait. He should come out when his daddy's around."

Nero sat next to you and placed his hand on your stomach, pecking your lips. You handed him the empty bowl and smiled menacingly. "I got this for you."

"That's so sweet. I'll cherish it until I put it in the sink."

You smiled and watched him go into the kitchen then looked down at your stomach, "Come on out, little guy." You whisper, rubbing your stomach gently, "Mommy's feet are swelling."

There was a knock at the front door then it was burst open, "The baby ready yet?"

Dante decided to just barge in again. This was the fourth time this week he's done this.

"Nope…" You responded.

"Dammit."

Dante turned with a grunt and left the house. You laughed to yourself and shook your head.

"Who was that? Wait don't tell me…" Nero said, coming in and sitting next to you again. "He came asking for the baby again huh?"

"Yep."

"God… he's starting to scare me. He's like fuckin Rumpelstiltskin all over again."

It made you laugh, thinking back to that silly little kids story.

"I'm right though, aren't I?"

"Yep." You grinned, continuing to watch your SpongeBob show.

"Well… Time for bed." He said, standing up and holding out his hand.

You nodded and took it, getting up from the couch and following him to the bedroom.

"You waddle like a little ducky." Nero laughed.

"Shut up." You giggled, sitting on the bed and laying your head down on the pillow.

"I'll be right back, okay? Gonna take a shower."

You nodded and relaxed, feeling Angelo kicking inside of you. The little feet tickled for awhile, then it started to hurt. You sat up and held your stomach. The kicks probably hurt so much because, hell, you were carrying a demon inside of you.

"Calm down, you're hurting mommy." You whisper, feeling unimaginable pain hitting you in your groin area.

"Ow!" Your eyes widened and you didn't have it in you to stand, "N-NERO! HE'S COMING!" You screamed, feeling tears erupt in your eyes because of the excruciating pain.

Nero sprang out of the shower as fast as he could. He was in mid wash and rinsed with little care. "_? Hold on! Hold on!"

"I CAN'T HOLD ON! AHHH GOD!" You screamed.

Nero came through the door, still trying to get dressed and on the phone.

"Hey, I was just on my way over there." Dante answered.

"Well, it's time! Hurry up!"

"Gotcha!"

Nero came over to you, dripping wet, "Can you stand?"

You shook your head and started to breathe quickly. Nero was afraid to touch you, but he did so the best he could, lifting you to your feet and supporting you. It seemed the pain hit more when you stood, you screaming and breathing at the same time, then feeling your water break.

"H-HOLY SHIT!" Nero exclaimed, wide-eyed.

You heard Dante's car horn beep a few times, signaling that he was outside. Nero took you as fast as you both could go out to the car.

"Good thing I was just around the corner." Dante said as you both entered the vehicle.

Nero sat in the back with you trying to comfort you, scared out of his mind. "Just breathe, babe. Breathe… breathe…" He said, breathing along with you.

Dante began to pull off down the street, heading for the hospital. Good thing he knew a shortcut, deducting a good 15 minutes from the ride. He pulled up to the entrance, "Go! I gotta look for a spot."

Nero nodded and got out the car, helping you out and taking you into the hospital. "Help! HELP! She's havin a baby!" Nero exclaimed, guiding you in the front lobby. Nurses came to your aid as soon as they heard, helping you up on a gurney and rushing you into the delivery room. Nero was by your side the whole way, holding your hand and allowing you to squeeze it. Dante came in the hospital a few seconds later, sitting in the waiting room for now. Doctors and nurses suited you up for delivery. You continued to breathe and waited for further instructions. Your legs were propped up and a specialist stood between them. A nurse had told Nero that childbirth would be easier and quicker if he wasn't present.

A little disappointed, Nero nodded and remained in the waiting room, sitting next to Dante, nervous.

"Why aren't you in there?" Dante asked, crossing his legs.

"They said it'll hinder the delivery if I were to be there but the choice was mine. So I didn't want her to be in more pain than she's already in."

Dante nodded, understanding. "You'd probably faint too. Jus' sayin."

"Shut up. Would not."

"Would too."

"Would not."

"Would too."

"Would not!"

"Fine!" Dante laughed and mumbled, "Would too."

Nero started tapping his feet again and looking at the clock, "How long does it usually take them to have a baby?"

"I dunno." Dante shrugged. "Why you askin me?"

"Hey, I was curious. Can't I speak my mind?"

"Nope."

"Asshole."

Dante snickered and shook his head. "Well… when she's done… she's done."

Minutes turned into hours. Dante found himself falling asleep and Nero kept glancing up at the clock. Every second seemed like an eternity for him. He looked over at Dante and shook his head.

Probably dreaming about porn and pizza…

He stood with his chin placed on his knuckles, glancing up at the clock some more. It's been an hour so far. The doors opened slowly and a doctor came in.

"Are you ready to see your son?" She smiled, gesturing him to follow her.

Nero got up quickly and followed the doctor to a patient room where you lie, holding your new born son. He was beautiful. Born with a head full of silver curls and a perfect little face. Born seven pounds even and 20 inches long. He looked up in your eyes and focused on you, creating that mother and son bond. Nero came in the room quietly and saw your beaming face, looking down into your baby's bright blue eyes. His face beamed with happiness as well, sitting next to you and admiring his son. You smiled, without a word you handed the small bundle to Nero.

He held the infant in his arms and looked into his eyes, feeling the bond taking hold.

"He's perfect… he's so beautiful." He said softly, planting a soft kiss on Angelo's tiny forehead. He sniffed and wiped his eyes on his sleeve and looked at you with red, puffy eyes. "This is my little boy."

"Aww… you're crying." You say softly.

Nero shook his head and sniffed again, "No I'm not." He lied, a tear falling down his cheek. The miracle just pulled at his heart strings, making him get a little emotional. There was a tiny knock at the door and you looked over, seeing Dante peeking.

"Hey." He said quietly with a smile, "Can I see the lil champ?"

You and Nero nodded and Dante came closer, eyeing the bouncing baby boy. A grin came across his face, "He's cute, isn't he?"

"He's gonna be a stud, just like his daddy." You giggled tiredly.

Nero chuckled lightly and shook his head. Angelo made a small coo and fidgeted a bit.

"I think he's hungry." Nero said.

"I just fed him." You responded. "He's just being vocal."

Nero smiled and spoke softly to the baby, "Hey there buddy, you're gonna grow big and strong like your daddy? Guess what? Daddy loves you."
