Lincoln was asleep in his bed but felt himself being shaken up awake, his eyes becoming fully awake as he saw the face of Alastor who was there being the one to shake him awake. Lincoln looked to the clock and saw that he had only been asleep for about 3 hours at the most. "Good morning Lincoln as I am sure that it counts as morning now. It has now occurred to me just how little we have actually spent time together; I am all for Charlie and Vaggie being your own surrogate parents here in your new home away from home in Hell but the fact that they have spent so much more time with my own great-great nephew than I have is just simply inexcusable." Alastor said as he picked Lincoln up and placed him on the ground. "So I want to take you out in a family night out together; you, me and our dear Angel Dust friend." Alastor told him and Lincoln was feeling overwhelmed.

"Thanks for the offer Alastor but we could spend time together another time, I think that I am going back to bed..." Lincoln said turning but then Alastor quietly stepped in front of him with both hands on the top of his microphone. "You... Are not actually giving me a choice in the matter?" Lincoln asked as Alastor shook his head while taking him by the arm to walk out.

"Not at all Lincoln, but don't worry as you will have the time off your life! There is nothing to be afraid of as patrons of Hell tend to be afraid when they come near me so once they see that you are with me." Alastor told him as Lincoln thought about what to say.

"How about Charlie and Vaggie, I don't think they are thrilled with this idea... Do they even know?" Lincoln asked as Alastor laughed.

"I think that as your great-great uncle, I have greater authority over you than they do since legally you don't really have any guardianship here Lincoln. Besides they will never have to know, I have gotten Niffty to help me make sure that they don't wake. We will have you back here before they realise that you are even gone." Alastor told him as they reached the staircase and beside Charlie and Vaggie's room door was Niffty giving a thumbs up to them.

Lincoln thought to just go with it as they went through the door and inside the limo parked there; Angel was already inside greeting them as it then began driving. Lincoln was nervous but Alastor asked "Since our family has become an uncomfortable subject, can I ask about Vanzilla? The van that somehow is still in my family after I bought it for my brother as a joke?" Alastor asked and Lincoln coughed to think about it.

"Well we have a lot of problems with it and my sister Lana keeps having to fix it, Dad says that he wants to leave it to me someday." Lincoln answered and there was Angel snickering.

"Wow, your old man could have thought of some other way to let you know that you are his least favourite child." Angel said as Lincoln glared at him before sighing. Hopefully a few hours with them both won't be so bad. What is the worst that could happen?

HOURS LATER

Charlie yawned as she woke up in her bed and saw the alarm clock ringing? She then noticed the earmuffs on her head to her puzzlement with Vaggie having the same, they didn't put this on. She took them off both of their heads as they heard the ringing and banging on the front door outside. Their eyes widened as they looked at the time and saw that they overslept by an hour. They quickly got dressed wondering what had happened.

They went downstairs and answered the door and they were stunned to see the regal looking form of Charlie's mother Lilith the Queen of Hell. Charlie was caught off guard as Lilith took her face to kiss both of her cheeks and then proceeded to do the same to Vaggie. "Charlie Vagatha; no need to be rude to just leave me here trying to get on for fifteen minutes! I mean honestly Charlie how do you expect to run a hotel when you take so much time to even answer the door, if I didn't know better I would think that you had done that on purpose to keep me out!" chided Lilith as Charlie invited her in.

"Sorry your highness, we woke up with earmuffs and we overslept. Can I ask if you are here to see Lincoln?" Vaggie asked as Lilith smiled at them.

"Off course Vagatha, I have been waiting for you both to be ready to adopt a child for me to spoil but to have it happen before you both even tie the knot? Anyway, Lucifer has told me about the poor child and his plight and I just want to say that it could easily be arranged for his family to be taken care of permanently. If any end up here we could always just send to the dungeon to await the next Extermination. Then nothing stopping you from just adopting him formally outright, just think that him being a human means looking the same age as his parents in over a decade." Lilith said as Charlie gave a nervous giggle along with Vaggie.

"I don't know about that idea Mum but I am happy to see you accepting of the idea and wanting to meet him yourself. The mental image I admit is amusing and I bet you are going to love the sweet boy. We are going to get him now." Charlie said as she and her girlfriend went to Lincoln's room only to see his sheets open and no one in there.

They rushed out panicked calling out Lincoln's name, "keep calm Charlie, we overslept so he probably just got up before we did and is still somewhere in the hotel..." Vaggie tried to console Charlie as Lilith was looking concerned when they went down the stairs.

However they heard the front door open and saw Alastor and Angel looking at eachother as they entered, "I don't know how you could be so unconcerned about this? Charlie and Vaggie are going to wake up eventually so I am interested in what cover story you pull out of your ass. Something could happen to Lincoln before we find him and with him probably going up to Heaven, it means that my great-great nephew is lost to me! I will have to wait until my current family members die since I don't fancy their chances considering their actions." Alastor told Angel.

"Don't make this a bigger deal than it has to be, we take a stuffed toy and make it seem like Lincoln is sleeping underneath his covers. We go back out to find him and sneak him back inside..." Angel answered but a cough caught their attention as they then saw the three female demons staring at them. "How is it going?" Angel asked trying to look innocent.

"Where is Lincoln?" Charlie asked hesitatingly looking worried.

"That is a very funny story and promise that you won't get mad." Angel replied and Vaggie glared at him.

"No way here in Hell that I am making that promise." Vaggie fired back with her arms folded feeling her parental instincts kicking in out of fear for the fate of Lincoln who was now probably lost somewhere in Hell. Lilith was also furious and Charlie looked worried with fear, feeling the parental instincts kicking in and allowing the anger to boil up.

"Now you should dial back your anger..." Alastor said but Charlie had enough as she allowed her demon form shine through as she let her anger out. Her eyes became bigger, her hair became wavy and her horns grew out and she then grabbed them both by their necks.

"Where is Lincoln?" Charlie asked calmly her voice sounding not different from how it usually was but it had became so chilling, Angel was spluttering out apologies and even Alastor was feeling fear which was something that he didn't think that he had ever felt ever since he had died. He was reminded that behind Charlie's friendly and usually passive nature, if she wasn't held back by her own niceness then she was probably much more powerful than Alastor could ever hope to be despite all that he had done and accomplished in Hell.

Vaggie was stunned before she was cheering her girlfriend on (ignoring how attractive she looked like this) and Lilith took on a smile feeling parental pride as it was clear that Charlie was making use of the number 1 lesson that was taught to her by her father:

You don't take shit from other demons.
