Chapter 7: Homecoming

Vergil and Dante were in bliss with their new baby. Even Vergil's Devil was smitten with it's nestling. But the Devil still wanted revenge, still wanted power…Must protect nestling and Alpha. Will not lose them too….I will give one year….Nestling small, will need me most now. The baby cooed and turned in his sleep. Vergil's Devil purred. So powerful and strong…yes, must protect both….

Can you shut up? I'm trying to sleep! Tired….

I know, my body is torn…

It's my body too! He's our baby.

Yes he is, and we must protect them both! As we are right now, we don't stand a chance. The one who took our family away still breathes air.

Dante and Nero are my family. They are well, we're at peace….

I'm NOT! After one year, we will begin anew on our quest. Enjoy it! With that, the Devil dropped to silence and Vergil sighed and finally fell asleep.

Asmodeus visited the new family and chatted with them as he checked Vergil and Nero over. They were both doing well, and mother and child were bonding beautifully. Dante was proud as a peacock. He now had the love of his life back in his life and a new baby boy. He couldn't stop grinning. Even Morrison and Patty came to well wish the family and fuss over Nero. Nero cooed and loved the attention.

"He's a strong one my friend." Morrison said as Nero kicked at him. "Spirited too!"

"Yes, he is." Dante chuckled as he tickled his son's belly, bringing forth more coos and chirps. "He's going to be a little heartbreaker."

"I feel a little lonely here." Vergil teased lightly. Dante laughed and kissed him.

"Ah Babe, you know I only have eyes for you." Dante said with a grin, offering his beloved a rose. Vergil laughed softly and accepted the gift.

"You just know how to charm your way out of anything don't you?"

"You know me Babe," Dante said with a grin and pose. "Can't deny my awesome sexiness!" Vergil scoffed lightly and whacked him with a pillow. Dante yelped and the guests laughed. Vergil even heard his Devil laugh. That one has quite the ego! Although he was telling the truth…

Dante pulled Morrison and Asmodeus to the side. The men sat down across from Dante who looked serious.

"There's something I want to run by you and I'm sure Vergil will agree with me. I would like you both to be Nero's godfathers."

"I'd be honored!" Asmodeus said happily. Morrison grinned.

"Hell yea! I'm in!" He said as he sat back in his chair. "I like the little tyke!" Dante smiled and then gasped as Vergil put his arms around his husband and kissed his neck.

"What were you discussing?"

"How are you feeling Babe?"

"A bit sore but doing better." Vergil said. "So, my rogue, what were we discussing?"

"Oh, well, I was asking Asmodeus and Morrison if they would be Godfathers to Nero." Vergil looked at the men then nodded.

"I agree." He said firmly before smiling, resting on Dante. The men whooped and went to cater to their godson, leaving the parents alone. Vergil eased himself onto Dante's lap. Dante smiled and hugged him.

"You look gorgeous." Dante whispered as he lightly kissed the blue devil. Vergil purred and kissed back. They leaned back and about to kiss again when a throat cleared.

"Not for at least 2 months." Asmodeus chided teasingly as he cradled Nero. "The little prince is hungry." Vergil nodded and rose gracefully to take the baby. Dante smiled and helped Vergil sit back down once he had changed Nero. He helped with his shirt and Nero immediately latched onto his mother. Dante chuckled as he watched his son nurse. Asmodeus and Morrison turned their backs and Patty stared until her mother chided her. Nero cuddled up to his mother, nursing peacefully. Dante stroked his son's downy snow-white hair and Nero grabbed his father's finger in a chubby little fist. Both parents chuckled at the feisty attitude. Even his Devil laughed. So spirited….

The family was set to leave three days later, and Dante was anxious to get his family home. He, Morrison and Asmodeus banded together and made the nest presentable and welcoming for the family. They made sure everything was up and ready. They tracked down the home that Vergil had before and fixed it up as well that way if demons decided to attack the office, that the family had a place to go. It was the very same home that they conceived Nero in. Dante grinned as he recognized the house.

"Wow, I remember this place." He closed his eyes and breathed in the air before grinning wolfishly. It had the faint smell of sex. We rocked this place just that one night….I intend to do so again…

"Good memories my friend?" Morrison teased. Dante smirked.

"Hell yea." Dante said as he helped Vergil and Nero inside. Vergil smiled at seeing his home and blushed as he remembered when he brought Dante home. It was a magnificent night…

"Ok lovebirds," Morrison said. "I'm sure the little tyke wants to see his room." Dante escorted Vergil upstairs and they opened the door third down from the right. There was a baby nursery with stars and blue with some red. Teddy bears and a soft rug with rocking recliner chair and baby monitors. There was also a changing table, books, and toys. In the center, was a dark wood crib with a mobile overhead that had moons and stars.

"This is amazing." Vergil breathed. Dante smiled and with Vergil, gently set their little boy down to sleep. They both kissed him, and all crept out of the room, with Dante being last, setting blood wards in their son's room then grabbing one of the baby monitors, leaving the door ajar.

Vergil, Morrison and Asmodeus all sat down to coffee and tea and a conversation.

"Dante, what are you doing to do, you know the demons are not going to rest." Morrison said. Dante held Vergil's hand in his.

"I'll keep doing what I can Morrison. And I'm sure when he's back up on his feet that Vergil would be more than happy to cut down a few demons."

"Oh absolutely." Vergil said with a smile. "Whether it's a demon or a human who's hungry for demonic power we will be there."

"I love it Babe." Dante gushed. "A true family business"

"Speaking of which, have you decided on a name yet?"

"Yea I did," Dante said as he looked at Vergil. "Devil May Cry."

When their guests left, the parents went to check on their son, who was sleeping peacefully before retiring to their own room. Dante had to grin again. It was the very room they made love in. Oh, wait until he's off profile. I'm going to show him how much I missed him…..

"Dante," Vergil called softly as soon as Dante finished setting up Blood Wards for their room as well. "Are you coming to bed?" Dante smiled and crawled slowly only stopping short before kissing the beauty in bed.

"Yea, but there's something I want you to always remember no matter what,"

"What's that?"

"That I love you." Dante whispered before capturing Vergil's lips with his own, immediately dominating the kiss and easing his beloved down onto the mattress. He easily got into the sheets and after another kiss, he gathered Vergil into his arms and both fell asleep.
