Ok, now that all that fun is out of the way. How about we go tell everyone the news? Although, there might be one demon you don't want to have find out. I figured it would be fare to post two chapters in case someone can't read the last one so I hope you enjoy.

Ch 27: Something to Say

(Heart's POV)

After Alastor proposed to me, we stayed at home for three days straight. Just enjoying each other's company and staying in bed for almost all of it. I figured that we should try and get out of the house and we should finally go tell our friends the news. I'm sure they were all worried about us, I haven't touched my phone to tell them anything.

When I got up this morning, and after a small session, I managed to get to my phone and text everyone that we were ok and that we would be stopping over to see them. Alastor gave the idea of just having everyone meet at the hotel. So that's what I told everyone. Made it easier to tell everyone at once the exciting news. I told them all to be there at noon.

As I laid there in bed, catching up on things I've missed, Russ texted me back. "Angel won't be around today until later tonight. He has a job at the studio to do."

I texted him back, "That's ok. I can always call him and let him know. Thanks Russ."

I saw Russ replying, "No problem, see you later."

I looked down to Alastor, he had his head laying on my stomach with his arms around my waist. I smiled at him. I laid one of my hands on his head and took one of his ears into my fingers and gently started to pet it. I saw his tail give a small flick at the touch. Why did he have to be so cute?

"Al, Russ told me that Angel won't be around today. Should I just call him and tell him now?" I asked him.

Alastor stayed where he was, "I don't see why not. Unless you want to stop at the studio and see him." I heard him say.

My ears went down a little. "I really don't want to go by there to be honest with you."

"That's fine by me." Alastor ran his hand down my leg. "I don't want to have to deal with Vox or Valentino right now anyway."

"I guess that's true." I looked back to my phone. "Now no funny business while I call Angel. You know how he can be."

All Alastor did was chuckle.

(Third Person POV) [With Angel]

Angel was in his dressing room getting ready when he heard his phone start to vibrate. He looked to see it was Heart, he gave a sigh of relief since he hasn't heard or seen the girl in the last few days. He had a few minutes till he had to be ready, so he answered.

"Well well, look who it is. You went silent for a while their babe. Was afraid something happened to yas." Angel said off the bat.

"Sorry Angel, I didn't mean to worry you." Angel heard Heart apologize.

Angel gave a cackle. "No, it was Russ who was worried and when he got worried then I started to as well."

"Either way, I'm sorry I worried you guys." Heart apologized.

"No sweat babe. Don't worry bout it." Angel sat in his chair, he had to keep getting ready, so he put her on speaker. "So where have you been the last four days?"

"I've been home, I've just been unable to get to my phone." Heart told him.

Angel laughed. "Al been keeping ya in bed eh?"

"THAT'S NONE OF YOUR CONCERN ANGEL!" Angel covered his ears from the sound of the static that went through the phone as Alastor answered his question.

"Ok ok I'm sorry." Angel then fixed his hair in the mirror.

Unknown to Angel, the scream from the phone caught someone's attention as they walked by. They were actually there to tell Angel that he was needed soon, but that voice made them question what was going on. They stood by his dressing room, listening to the conversation now as they heard the Radio Demon speak again.

"Keep your dirty mind there please." Angel heard Alastor growl with static. He then heard Heart talk to Alastor. "Al calm down, you know Angel is only joking around." Angel heard some shuffling around and it seemed that Alastor had got up. He heard a door shut, Alastor must have left the room. Heart sighed. "Sorry about that." She quickly said.

"How did you know I was at the studio?" Angel asked them.

"Russ told me. I texted him to have you guys meet at the hotel later, but he said that you would be busy all day at work." Heart answered.

"Meet at the hotel? Why what's up?" Angel wondered with a look of confusion.

"Well I wanted to have everyone there when I told them the news but since you can't be there till tonight, I figured I'd let you know now." Heart explained to him. Angel could hear that cheeriness in her voice as she said that.

"News? Well lay it on my toots." Angel said with excitement, wondering what his friend was going to tell him.

There was a pause on Heart's end. "Alastor asked me to marry him."

"Tell me ya said no." Angel said with a small laugh.

Heart laughed as well. "I said yes, ya jackass."

Angel then laughed louder; he knew she was only playing around. "Aw, well congrats babe, I'm happy for you guys. There a date yet?" Angel got out some of his makeup and started to put some of it on his face.

"Not yet, we haven't really talked about it."

"Yea because you've been busy getting busy." Angel laughed as he paused from putting on his eyeliner.

"We're busy being animals." Heart joked at him.

Angel just looked at his phone with wide eyes, "Yea alright I get it, don't go into details ok." Angel went back to putting on his eyeliner.

The person eavesdropping at the door stood back surprised from what they just heard. They didn't even know the Radio Demon was even with someone. They had a devilish smile come onto their face. They had to tell their boss about this though, they knew he would love it. If they knew anything, the boss was not a fan of Alastor.

Heart's voice went soft for a moment. "You want to be in my bridal party Angel?"

Angel's mouth went open and he stared at his phone. "You pullin my leg?"

"No, I'm being serious." Heart answered him with a chuckle.

Angel let out a smile, "I'd love to babe. Thank you for considering me."

"Your welcome. I don't care what Al says, but you're my friend Angel and I want you to be there." Heart told him.

"Aw, I'm glad I'm considered as such." Angel looked at the time. "I'd love to stay and chit chat doll, but I got to finish getting ready."

"Oh of course of course, don't let me hold you up any longer. Talk to you later Angel." Heart then hung up.

Angel shook his head, "They are engaged now. That's nuts." Angel said to himself as he continued to put on his makeup again. "I'm happy for them though."

There was a knock-on Angel's dressing room door. There was a female demon that walked in. "Boss wants you out there in five more minutes Angel cakes."

Angel looked at the demon through his mirror. "I'll be done in a few, Sarah. Tell him I'll be there."

The female demon nodded and closed the door. Her devilish smile came back on her face as she quickly went to tell her boss what she found out.

(Heart's POV)

As I talked to Angel, Alastor had gotten a little angry with our conversation. Of course, it was the spider demon's fault, I was expecting it though. He had got dressed in his shirt and pants then walked out of the room as I continued to talk to my friend. Knowing him he probably went to his study. I decided to get up and head to the bathroom to get cleaned off first.

When I was done Alastor was still not back in the bedroom, so I went to look for him. When I walked out of the bedroom, I heard the sound of music filling the hallway coming from inside the study. Alastor was definitely in there.

I walked into the room and found Alastor in the corner of the room by the window with the curtain drawn as he looked out into the woods. His chin was sitting in his hand that was on the arm rest of the chair. He had a closed lip smile on his face. He had the big radio in the room on as it played some soft jazz.

I stood in the doorway and smiled as I looked at him. I admired him sitting there in content. Alastor lifted his head to look at me. He smiled at me, showing his teeth. He held his other hand out to me. I said nothing as I walked into the room over to the deer demon. I placed my hand into his and he pulled me down onto his lap. He leaned in and kissed my forehead before pulling me close to his chest and wrapping his arms around me.

We sat in silence as the music was still playing. I just cuddled up with Alastor with my head laying in the crook of his neck. We said nothing at first, I was just enjoying the warmth of being wrapped up in his arms. I am always reminded how much I love this man because he always showed his love for me in the littlest of ways. I just loved it.

"How did your conversation with Angel go?" Alastor finally asked to break the silence.

"It went fine. You know you shouldn't get so angry with Angel. You should know how he gets to be." I told him as I kissed his neck.

Alastor chuckled. "I know, I apologize."

"It's ok." I picked up my head to look at him. "Are you ready to head out? We should leave soon."

Alastor nodded. "I am." He squeezed his arms around me a moment. "I just want to stay like this for a little while longer." He just continued to look out the window.

We went back to being silent as the music played behind us still. I closed my eyes in content as I just got comfortable against him. I listened to his calm breathing as well. This moment was just pure bliss and I honestly wanted to stay here with him. I didn't want to leave the house.

Unfortunately, I knew we had to leave to meet our friends soon.

Alastor unwrapped his arms from me. "Come my dear, I guess we should be on our way."

I groaned and managed to get up off his lap. I straightened out my clothes a moment once I got up. Alastor stood from the chair and went to the radio to turn it off. He snapped his fingers and was soon dressed into his jacket and his mic cane appeared. He turned to me, "Ready to go?"

"Yes, let's be on our way then." I answered.

We walked out of the house and headed down the dirt road into the city. I reached over and grabbed Alastor's hand. He then laced his fingers with mine.

"I'm honestly nervous to tell everyone." I admitted to him.

"Why my love?" Alastor questioned.

"I don't know. I guess it's just me being nervous. I guess it's getting to me. I'm excited though." I told him as I walked closer to him.

"I'll be there with you darling. Don't you worry. These are all our friends. It will be fine." Alastor assured me as he squeezed my hand a moment.

I let out a breath and smiled. "Your right Al. It will be fine."

Alastor leaned over and kissed the tip of my ear. We continued walking in silence.

Alastor then stopped, I looked up at him a moment as he flicked one of his ears. I heard his radio stations flickering around a moment. Like he was trying to pick up something.

"Honey, is something the matter?" I asked him worried, I had never seen him act like that before.

Alastor said nothing as his radio static slowly died down. "It's nothing. I thought I felt someone was following us, they didn't have good intentions. They gave off something I couldn't pick up."

I held onto Alastor's hand tighter and got close to him. "Should we be worried?" I had a nervous tone in my voice.

Alastor took his other hand and placed it on my head, he caressed my ear between his fingers to keep me calm. "Don't worry my dear. I'll just be on extra alert just in case."

I let out a small breath from his touch. "Well let's hurry and get to the hotel then."

"I agree." Alastor responded as he took his hand away.

We quickly started walking again. I could tell Alastor was more alert as we walked, he had a stern look on his face as he looked around everywhere. I saw his ears flick and his radio noises rising and falling as well. I was glad to finally be at the hotel. We walked in through the front door and saw all my friends in the lobby. They all were by the bar. Russ was here too, but it looked as though Lizzy and Kota weren't there yet. Was even surprised to see Husk and Nifty down there as well, they were technically Alastor's friends after all so I'm sure he was glad they were there. I smiled so big as we walked up to the group.

"Hi everyone." I greeted them when we got closer.

"Hey guys!" Everyone greeted us.

Charlie walked up to me and hugged me, and I hugged her back.

"Is Lizzy and Kota here yet?" I asked her just in case as we got out of the hug.

Charlie shook her head. "No, I haven't seen 'em yet."

"I hope you don't mind if I wait till they get here?" I wondered to make sure.

"Of course! We don't mind waiting. Come over with all of us." Charlie said and pulled me away from Alastor and over closer to the bar.

I started to talk with everyone, and it was super nice to just be around them all and catch up on some things. Of course, most of them asked me where I had been the last four days. Alastor just chuckled from the question. I just had my face get red as I told them I've just been at home and just enjoying a few days with Alastor. Of course, the reason as to why I was home is why I had them all there. I tried to hide my hand from everyone so they wouldn't see my ring so most of the time I hid it in my pocket.

Alastor stood on the outside of the circle of friends. He seemed like he was distracted. I guess whatever happened earlier still had him on edge and alert.

It was probably about 10 minutes before Lizzy and Kota walked into the hotel. They apologized for not being here earlier. Told them it was fine, and they stood by the bar. I let them all talk as I saw Alastor wonder off a moment. He stood by the fireplace.

I walked over to him and slid my hand into his. "Al, what's wrong?" I asked, concerned.

Alastor closed his hand around mine in comfort. "I don't know. Ever since earlier I've been all on edge. Something just feels off." He told me.

I leaned into him, "Alastor, don't worry about it so much right now ok. We are probably going to celebrate tonight." I smiled up at him.

Alastor gave a small sigh. "I guess you're right." Alastor turned to me and his smile widened. "I'll try not to let it bug me too much. I want us to have fun."

I nodded and we walked back over to everyone at the bar.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, what is it you wanted to tell us?" Charlie wondered.

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm curious." Nifty said.

"Yea I'm wondering the same. So, spill the beans." Russ said with a smile.

"Well," I stopped and looked at every one of my friends in the face. I looked up at Alastor who looked down at me with one of his big smiles as he gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. I took a breath. "Alastor and I are engaged."

I watched as everyone gave wide eyes, even Husk. They all were silent. I was honestly afraid of what they were going to say.

Then I saw smiles slowly all come to their faces.

Charlie started to cheer with a squeal of excitement. "Oh, my goodness guys congrats!" She ran up to me and hugged me tight.

I laughed happily and wrapped my free arm around her.

"Can I see the ring?" Charlie asked, pulling out of the hug.

"Of course." I answered and unwrapped my hand from Alastor's and held my hand out to her.

Charlie held my hand and looked at the ring. Vaggie, Russ and Lizzy then walked up next to Charlie and looked as well.

"It's so pretty!" Charlie exclaimed.

"Nice lookin rock for sure." Russ said.

"Thanks guys." I laughed as they complimented my ring.

Lizzy glared at Alastor. "So, what makes you want to marry my sister?" She asked sternly as she crossed her arms.

I know she was asking because she wanted an approval on what he said. My little sister loved me, and I knew that she just wanted to look out for me. Charlie let go of my hand and they looked at Alastor, I looked up at him as well. He told me his feelings all the other night when he proposed, I'm sure he wasn't going to give that same speech to Lizzy. He was on the spotlight now with all the eyes on him.

Alastor put his hands behind his back. "Why would you ask me this young one? I feel it would be obvious." Alastor said.

"I'm her sister, you need to have my approval too. So, tell me why?" Lizzy said again as she stared at him with slanted eyes.

Alastor took a pause as he looked down at Lizzy. He adjusted his monocle. "Dear Lizzy, I love your big sister with all my heart that I have left." I started to blush from his words. "More than I ever thought I could love another. She makes me feel feelings I didn't know I had. She's the first one that's made me open up this way." Alastor cast his eyes to me a moment. "I would protect her with all my worth. Plus, the first one I've ever made love to. I'd never do that with any other." I blushed more and just hid my face in my shirt a moment when Alastor mentioned that.

"Alastor now you're just embarrassing me." I said.

I heard Alastor laugh and lean down to kiss the top of my ear.

I looked up to look at Lizzy. I saw her face was not as stern and she looked at us softly.

She huffed, "Fine. I'll agree to this." She pointed a clawed finger at him. "But if you pull anything like you did when you left her, I will personally kick the shit out of you."

"You have my word, young girl, that I will never do that again to your sister. I never plan to hurt her ever." Alastor answered her with a small bow.

"I'll take your word." Lizzy said with a bear of her teeth.

"I say we have a drink." Husk said.

"That's a good idea." Russ said as he walked back to the bar.

"Let's all have a drink." I agreed.

"One won't hurt." Alastor agreed as well.

We all went to the bar as Husk pulled out some shot glasses. He filled them with whiskey, and everyone took a glass when filled.

Charlie lifted her glass to them. "We will toast right now to these two. So that they may have a great future together."

Everyone else raised their glass. Alastor wrapped his arm around my waist in the process. We clinked our glasses together and downed the shots.

The rest of the day we did a little celebration type thing as we talked with everyone and had drinks. It was such a nice time to talk to everyone again. Of course, I never told them why I hadn't talked to them the last few days. Although I'm sure they figured out why. Angel did eventually come back to the hotel after his time at the studio. Was so happy to see him today. He hugged me tight and it was like he didn't want to let go. They were all happy for me.

I was glad to have such awesome friends that supported me. Alastor didn't seem on edge the rest of the day, although I feel the alcohol was just making him calm is all. I just didn't want him worrying so much over it. Whatever it was he felt today, I'm sure he'll investigate.

We all were sitting by the fireplace now. Me and Alastor on the couch with Angel next to me as well. Charlie, Vaggie, Nifty, Lizzy and Russ all sat on the floor around us. Husk and Kota were still at the bar talking.

"You have a date yet?" Vaggie asked.

"No, we haven't talked about it yet." I told her.

"Well, if you had to choose right now, on the spot. What would you choose?" Charlie asked.

Alastor snickered. "If you'd ask me, I'd say as soon as tomorrow."

I blushed so hard. Alastor was just so old school sometimes, just wanted to jump to me getting to be his wife as soon as possible. Alastor noticed me blushing. He laughed and leaned in to place a kiss on my cheek.

"I wouldn't do that to you my dear. That would be stressful." Alastor said to me.

I chuckled. "Had me scared there a moment, but you know to be honest with you guys, I would probably say as soon as possible myself, if it wasn't' so stressful." I took a sip of my drink. "In all seriousness though, I'd say in the next year or two. On our anniversary to make it more...meaningful."

"Why would you say that?" Nifty asked.

Alastor reached over and grabbed my hand, I tangled my fingers into his. "That night of our anniversary, the day we got together, was the best night of my life. I would just want to add on to that memory." I felt Alastor lean over and kiss my cheek. I looked over at him and smiled.

"How did dat night go? I've always wanted to ask. I hope ya don't mind my curiosity." Angel wondered.

I gave a chuckle as I glanced at the spider demon. "It's no worry. Well, the best way I can explain that night is that...we didn't really say much to each other. The songs we danced to were perfect enough to us to show us the true light of our feelings." I explained to him.

"Was a very elegant evening with a beautiful lady." Alastor added.

My blush came back as I felt my cheeks get warm again. I looked to the deer demon next to me. "Well, minus everything that happened that day before hand with the demon that attacked me. You saved me, it showed me that you cared. I then felt bad for ignoring my feelings I was having and ignoring you at first. I didn't know how much that day was going to change my life."

"And I'll always protect you and save you from anyone that wants to harm my sweet wolf." Alastor said as he took his other hand and poked my nose lightly.

Everyone gave a chuckle at us from that.

"You guys are so cute." Nifty said with a smile.

I smiled so wide; I was just glad everyone approved of us.

The rest of the night was so much fun with everyone. They kept asking me questions about what I'd do for the wedding. I feel it was too much to think of right now, but I just threw out an answer. Made me wonder what Alastor was thinking about all this. I'd have to talk to him more about it, but maybe not tonight.

A question then came to my mind. Who all would I want in my bridal party? I know I wanted it to be small. I honestly didn't want to have that big of a wedding happen. I'm sure Alastor wouldn't mind that either. I already asked Angel, but I had to think of who my Maid of Honor should be. It was a hard decision.

"Lizzy, can I ask you something?" I asked her, I felt bad taking her out of her conversation with Vaggie.

"What's up sis?" Lizzy wondered as she turned to me.

I took a pause and just smiled at her softly. "Will you be my Maid of Honor?"

Lizzy's eyes went wide, and I saw her tail wag a moment. "Me? Why me?" She questioned.

A gave a small chuckle from her response. "Because you're my sister silly. I wouldn't want anyone else but you."

Lizzy soon smiled and her tail wagged more. "I'd love to sis." She answered with a smile.

I stood up from the couch and Lizzy got up from the floor as we shared a hug.

Everyone just awed at us. It was so nice to have my sister be around with me for this moment in my life. Something I never thought I would have the experience to have. I was so happy I found someone to love.

It was soon getting late, so we decided to just stay at the hotel tonight, so we didn't have to walk home. Plus, I was sure that we both had a good amount to drink, so I didn't want to walk home the way we were. Russ thought the same, so he went with Angel to his room. Lizzy and Kota stayed as well, and I told her she could sleep in my old hotel room. We just decided to spend the night in Alastor's old hotel room ourselves. Of course, just getting to the room was a challenge on its own with us having been drinking a little.

Alastor had me pinned up against the wall of the hallway as we tried to get to the room. He had me in a deep kiss as his hand snaked their way under my shirt.

"Al." I started through our kiss and pushed him away a moment. "Can we get into the room first before you start anything." Even though I pushed him away from my lips, he went to my neck and started to lay kisses there as well. "We aren't home you know."

Alastor pulled away from my neck and looked at me. "I know, you think I care?" I heard him give a small radio growl in his throat.

"I don't want to be caught in the hallway is all I'm saying." I told him defensively.

"Fine. Come on." Alastor said and he lifted me up into his arms.

I let out a yelp in surprise from him picking me up. He took us to his hotel room, using his powers to open and close the door, and he took me over to the bed to lay me down in it. He disposed of his jacket to the floor and then climbed in bed on top of me. He sat on my legs as he leaned down and started to kiss me again. My hands laid to the side of my head, Alastor put his hands into mind and intertwined our fingers.

He pulled away from our kiss a moment. "I love you." He said as he looked down at me with a loving gaze.

"I love you too." I said in return as I looked up at him softly.

"I don't think we've made love on my hotel bed before." Alastor realized with a smirk. "Tonight, will be fun."

I smirked as well. "Well I guess we better change that." I said as I pulled him down back onto me and kissed him deeply.

The rest of the night was history.

(Third Person Pov)

"Are you sure of this?" The tall figure asked.

"Yes, I'm sure." Sarah said with a small bit of anger. "I'm most positive, I heard the conversation correctly." The girl that was at Angel's dressing room earlier stood in front of two figures that sat on a couch.

The tall one laughed. "I feel this would be a perfect opportunity to get to that rival of yours." The tall one said as he looked to the other male figure next to him.

"I agree. I've wanted to push his buttons for a while. This will be the perfect way to do it." The second male said.

The tall one laughed deeply. "Plus, I feel it would be a good time to try out that little experiment we have our little friends making."

"You can have your fun with that. I'm not taking part in it. I just want to watch him squirm as I broadcast it directly to him." The second male laughed.

Sarah widened her eyes at them. "Sir you don't mean-" She was afraid to finish.

"Yes, I mean that." The figure stood and towered above her. "Leave and go tell our little scientist friend to get the serum ready. We have some planning to do."

Sarah stood shaky a moment. "Y-Y-Yes sir." Then she ran out of the room.

"We can finally get to that asshole. I've wanted this for years." The male on the couch still said.

The tall one standing laughed. "We'll both get to him. In more ways than one."

"Think we should send out someone to investigate?" The second asked as he stood up now as well.

"Yes, I believe so. I know he has been hanging out at the stupid Hotel in town. I think we can start around there." The tall one said as he went to the window.

"This is going to be fun!" The second one laughed. "I'm coming for you Alastor!"

They both then gave out an evil laugh as they started to work out a plan.

Oh no, trouble in the dark. Who will do it? We'll find out soon.
