Prologue: A Warm Welcome and Surprises

Nero was sitting behind the desk in Devil May Cry, reading. It had been a been a busy two months since his parents' wedding day. Guess Spring Equinox makes demons nuts. Nero thought with a smirk. They were all over here worse than roaches. Not that Nero minded, it kept him in shape. I'm sure Mother is keeping Father in shape…He grinned. He knew his parents had teased each other like crazy before the 'I do.'

Trish and Lady were on a mission but Nero got done with his beforehand. The extra training sessions with his father paid off. Nero was faster, stronger and more battle sharp. Patty came by to help clean the office and chat with Nero, which the younger Devil enjoyed and so did she.

"Mira looked so beautiful in her dress, and your father was something else." Patty said with a smile. "You too, a real chip off the old block."

"Oh god, don't ever have my father catch you calling him an old block." He laughed. "He'll bust a vessel."

"Who knows, maybe he's mellowed out Bro." Nico said as she came by. "Hey Patty."

"Hi Nico," Patty beamed.

"But yea bro, I'm sure yer Demon Daddy's erupted a plenty." The girls giggled while Nero blushed. He did not need to know about his parents' sex life!

"Nico, Jesus! I did not need that in my head!"

"Bro, lets face it, soon you'll probably have siblings! Bom chika wow wow." Nico sang teasingly. Nero rolled his eyes and growled. Patty laughed.

"Aren't they in their 40s?"

"Still young by demon standards," Asmodeus said calmly as he was cooking. "I believe their father was around mid 50 early 60 when he sired the twins."

"Wow, even your Grandpa was wild in the sheets!" Nico said. Nero yelped and Asmodeus blushed. "Ya demons are horndogs."

"I'm not." Nero said. Nico grinned.

"That's cause you're a Vir…." Nero covered her mouth with his palm.

"Shut up!" He said with chuckle, cheeks aflame. Nico laughed despite her mouth covered. Asmodeus allowed himself a quiet chuckle. Nero and his relationship was still rocky at best. One day, I hope he will forgive me and give me a chance.

The group sat down to eat and Nero nodded stiffly as his plate was set before him. Nico lightly kicked him under the table.

"Bro, what is up?" She whispered. "Even Lady and Trish are more cordial with Modeus than ya are."

"He didn't try to kill their mothers." Nero whispered sharply. Nico nodded in understanding.

"Yea but that was a long time ago, give him a chance yea? Yer Demon Daddy did."

"I'll think about it." Nero said as he went for his wine. When his phone rang, he picked it up.

"Devil May Cry,"

"Hi kiddo!" He heard his mother's warm voice. Nero sat up in his chair and smiled.

"Hi Mother, how's it going?"

"Wonderful, we're still out but making our way home. We'll be there by nightfall. How are you?"

"The demons have been restless but taken care of."

"Great job kiddo!"

"Where's Father?"

"Keeping his eyes on the road…Vergil, that is not the road Babe!" Nero heard his father's rich dark laugh. Mira's laughter was heard too. "I swear your father is lecherous!"

Nico heard the Huntress over the phone and grinned. "Ask, Bro!"

"Hell fucking no!" Nero growled softly, Mira laughed again.

"Tell her that's classified kiddo." Mira said. Nero grinned and Nico laughed and shouted 'Killjoy!' Mira laughed harder.

"Alright kiddo, we will see you at home. We love you."

"I love you both too, see you at home." Nero said fondly before hanging up the phone. Nico grinned and as soon as Nero went to sip his wine, she leaned in and grinned.

"Bom chika wow wow." She whispered and Nero choked. "Oh shit, sorry Bro." The younger devil coughed and glared at her.

"Are you trying to kill me?" He gasped. Nico laughed and Nero groaned then lightly punched her arm. Dinner continued and after putting the dishes away Nero bid everyone goodbye and thanked Asmodeus for the dinner and summoned Mirage Rose. Nico's eyes widened.

"Dude! Where did you get that?!" Nico asked in amazement.

"My parents bought it for me when they went to Italy. Then Father upgraded it."

"That's a wicked piece!" She said. Nero grinned and fired. A portal opened and Nico was in shock. "Wow, yer Demon Daddy's got skills!"

"Yea, catch you later Nico." Nero said before walking through.

When he walked through and was on the path to the villa, he almost jumped when a second portal opened behind him. Nero grinned and stepped to the side. The sleek blue black car drove up and Nero laughed. He and his parents arrived almost at the same time! The passenger side door opened and Nero smiled when he saw his Mother come out. She looked radiant, relaxed and happy.

"Hiya kiddo!" Mira greeted. Nero ran and hugged his mother, kissing her cheek. Mira smiled and hugged their son as Vergil got out of the car, chuckling. Nero blinked as he sensed something different about his mother. He looked at her and she smiled.

"Come on, let's get inside. We have a few surprises for you."

"Oh, Mother you spoil me," Nero said. "Here, I'll help!"

"Best that you do. Hello son." Vergil said as he walked over. Nero smiled and hugged his father. His father looked happy as well and not uptight!

"Father, you look well."

"Thank you Nero. Now, help me with this please." Nero nodded and together father and son unpacked the car in record time. The family went inside and sighed. It was good to be home.

They sat down enjoying a drink but Nero noticed that his mother was drinking tea, not wine. He grinned.

"I have a feeling this is a big surprise." Nero said. His parents looked at each other and smiled.

"It is," Mira said with a smile. "And you're going to be a big help kiddo."

"Oh come now Mother, don't leave me in suspense."

"We're expecting." Vergil said with a smile. Nero beamed.

"That's wonderful, congratulations! When did you find out?"

"A bit before we left for home. I woke up feeling drained and I wasn't sure why at first. So we went to find out, and…there's more than one in here. When we found out how many, your father did something I've never seen him do: he fainted!" Nero laughed.

"Father, you didn't!"

"Yes I did," Vergil chuckled as he caressed Mira's still flat stomach. "You would too, pregnancies such as your mother's are a rarity. Even rarer than ours."

"How many?" Nero asked.

"Triplets." Mira grinned. Nero blinked then like his father, he fainted!

The Spardas are back and with a new generation on the way!
