Blitzø was sitting in between Stolas' legs, his hand resting on his stomach. He felt the gentle movement again underneath his hand. He looked up at Stolas, "I think we got a live one."
Stolas laughed covering his mouth with his hand as small hooting noises escaped. He sat up and looked at Blitzø's stomach, resting his hand on top of Blitzø's. He glanced at his lover, "Well if it wasn't this wouldn't be as momentous of an occasion." He hugged Blitzø trying not to squeeze him too hard. He heard breath quickly escape Blitzø's mouth.
"For fucking Lucifer's sake Stolas! You're holding me too tight!" Blitzø was swinging his legs, trying to escape this temporary entanglement. He was slowly set down onto the bed once again where he was before. He scooted towards Stolas, who was staring at him with loving eyes. Blitzø ran his finger along Stolas' leg, looking up at the prince.
"Stols..."
"Blitzø…"
Blitzø searched Stolas' face for any sign he shouldn't trust him and when he couldn't find any, he lunged into Stolas' arms. He gripped tightly onto his back burying his face in Stolas' chest.
The whole encounter startled Stolas, but he didn't protest and held Blitzø around his neck hugging him close. After a few moments of them sitting that way Stolas spoke, "Are you okay Blitzy?"
Blitzø looked up at Stolas, his face stained with tears, but a wide grin plastered on his face. He pulled back grabbing Stolas' hand, placing it intertwined with his own, on his stomach, "I don't believe that I could ever be better than I am right now Stolas," Blitzø leaned his forehead onto Stolas, "I'm happy."
Stolas' eyes widened at the confession that he just heard coming out of Blitzø's mouth. He felt fluttering movements on his palm before he pulled his hand away, gripping the sides of Blitzø's face, and kissed him with everything he had. He was determined to leave the pregnant imp breathless because he too couldn't be any happier.
Blitzø finally pulled out of Stolas' grasp and laid next to him. He ran his hand over his now continuously moving middle, looking down at it with love and wonder, "They're gonna be amazing Stols. Better than I could ever dream to be."
Stolas nodded at the statement, opening a portal in the canopy to reveal a sky full of stars. He laid back next to Blitzø looking up at the blue-black sky, "Absolutely." Stolas pulled Blitzø close to himself and within moments heard the smaller demon breathing calmly in sleep.
"I love you Blitzø…"
The next morning, Blitzø had woken up to Stolas' arm thrown across his stomach, almost caressing it. He rolled his eyes getting up and out of the bed. He walked over to Stolas' closet finding a comfy casual t-shirt and throwing it on. He walked out of the room almost immediately bumping into Octavia. He ran his hand over the back of his neck nervously.
"Hey Via-."
She scoffed and covered her face with her hand, "Don't call me that. Also don't just walk around like you own the place. You should go back into that room," Via pointed to Stolas' bedroom, "and don't ever come onto this side of the house again. If you're going to be my dad's love affair, I'd rather it be far away from me."
Blitzø watched as Octavia walked off going back to her book. He backed up running back into the room.
I need to get away from here, Blitzø thought as he rummaged around the room grabbing all his clothes. He didn't even hear Stolas wake up through his frenzy. He was throwing whatever he had left there previously into the big duffel bag he found laying around the room. He stiffened feeling eyes penetrating his back. He slowly turned to look at Stolas who was sitting cross legged on the bed.
Stolas tilted his head, sighing, "You ran into Via didn't you?" He ran his hand down his face remembering that he had tried to tell his daughter about her new half-sibling that would be coming into the world, but she had just ignored him. She did that a lot these days after realizing that Stolas, even after Stella and him had separated, would still be bringing Blitzø over to the palace.
Blitzø continued to throw things into his bag, not answering Stolas. He felt a soft nudge from the baby in his body. He touched his stomach, taking that as a sign to just talk to Stolas and not ignore him. He turned toward Stolas crossing his arms over his chest, "Yeah and let me tell you she sounds like her bitch mother the way she talked. Telling me to go back into your room and not go anywhere else in the palace."
Stolas groaned and pulled on his robe as he stepped off the bed, "Let me go try and speak with her. She cannot be allowed to speak to you in such a manner. I will not have you forced to leave because of her antics."
Blitzø watched Stolas walk out of the room calling out Octavia's name. He ran after him grabbing Stolas' hand, pulling him to try and stop him from walking into a fight with his daughter. He let go as Stolas kept walking when he gave no sign of stopping. He trailed close behind him as they got to the kitchen where Octavia was sitting at the breakfast nook by the wall. If looks could kill, Blitzø would be dead from how she was looking at him.
Octavia rolled her eyes, "I expected nothing less from you. Going and tattling on me to my dad."
Stolas looked more than angry and Blitzø had only seen him angry maybe twice. He hid behind Stolas as the demon prince spoke.
"Via! You will cease this behavior! It is clearly your mother getting into your head because you have never spoken to anyone in that way!"
Octavia scoffed, "Sure dad! I'll just start treating him like family because he's pregnant with your kid! By the way, do you know if it's even yours? He seems like the type to sleep around." Via smirked at her question looking up at her father.
Stolas was shaking with anger, "Fine! Be a brat Via! I did not spend my blood, sweat, and tears for all those years raising you for me to take abuse from you like I dealt with from your mother for almost two decades!" Stolas walked off his hands balled into fists. Blitzø trailed behind him slowly, rubbing a thumb over his stomach trying to soothe the moving child inside. The moment Stolas started yelling, the baby had begun to punch and kick at Blitzø's insides.
When they made it back to the room Stolas was rambling and yelling at nothing.
"I dealt with an abundance of abuse from her mother! Why does she all of the sudden think she can talk to anyone, let alone her father, in such a way!" Stolas was pacing back and forth, frustration clear in his voice.
"Stols…" More yelling from Stolas.
"Stols." Blitzø wasn't being heard and he pinched the skin between his eyes.
"STOLAS!"
The prince stopped in his tracks looking at Blitzø who was sitting on the floor a hand propping himself up and the other resting on his middle.
"I apologize Blitzy. Especially for how she's acting."
Blitzø waved his statement off, "It's honestly fine Stolas. I've been treated worse. I'm more worried about you. I didn't know that bird cunt abused you."
Stolas blushed with embarrassment, "Darling that's nothing to concern yourself with. It stopped when she left the house." Stolas didn't wish to relive his past, but he made the mistake of mentioning it in his enraged state.
Blitzø's face became dark and serious, "Stolas, did she touch you?"
Stolas looked away staring at the floor as tears began to flow from his eyes.
Blitzø stood up his fists clenched to his sides, "I'll fucking kill that bitch."
Stolas knelt in front of Blitzø quickly grabbing his shoulders, "I'm okay Blitzø, she took her abuse with her when she left. I haven't had to deal with her in about a month and a half. I promise you that everything is alright."
Blitzø looked at Stolas angrily, but seeing his lover's face had softened he sighed, "Alright, but if she tries some shit I'm killing her. No holds barred."
Stolas smiled at Blitzø hugging him, "I wouldn't ask for anything less."
Blitzø nodded going back to grab the duffel he threw all his things in. He then walked over to the nightstand that had his phone on it seeing that he had a few missed calls from Mox and Mills. He sighed looking at Stolas who was watching him. He dialed Loona, telling her that he wouldn't be coming in and to not let Moxxie being in charge get to his head. She had just huffed an agreement over the phone before hanging up.
Blitzø went to sit on the bed throwing himself back laying against a pillow to prop himself up. Soon he was joined by Stolas who rested his head on Blitzø's lap closing his eyes. Blitzø soon was lost in thought running his hand through Stolas' head feathers gaining chirps of happiness from the prince. He smiled looking up at the portal that was still open onto the dark sky filled with stars. He couldn't be happier than he was in that singular moment. He saw a star shoot past, taking that as his sign.
"Stols, let's do it."
Stolas looked up at Blitzø thoroughly confused as to what he might be talking about, "Whatever are you talking about?"
Blitzø looked Stolas in his eyes taking in the prince's every facial expression, every feature, and every amazing memory that he had with him. He ran a hand down Stolas' cheek gaining a soft shiver from the prince. Blitzø looked back up at the portal thoroughly nervous about what he was about to suggest.
"You said you wanted to be partners…right?" Blitzø said not looking at Stolas, a fear of rejection eating away at him.
Stolas nodded still laying on Blitzø. He turned and caressed Blitzø's side, placing a soft kiss on his abdomen. He heard a sniffle coming from Blitzø causing him to immediately sit up cupping the imp's face in concern. He noticed tears streaming down Blitzø's face as he turned to look at Stolas.
"Let's be partners."
