Alastor typically woke up first at the Hazbin Hotel, but this morning as he headed downstairs for coffee at 5 Charlie was already up and moving around busy getting ready for Lucifer who was to arrive at 11.

"Good morning my dear!" He said with a smile.

"Morning," she said tiredly

"Darling did you sleep at all last night?" he asked

"Um….I think so…..wait no that was the night before this…..or was it the night before that." She answers distractedly

"Well, this just won't do!" he said walking over to her "You can hardly visit with his majesty if you about to collapse."

"NO! I CAN'T SLEEP THERE'S TOO MUCH TO DO!" she said as he grabbed her and started carrying her to her room. "I need to clean... and make tea and….and…...and." and with that, she fell asleep still in his arms.

"What are you doing?!" Vaggie asked as he walked into Charlie and her room.

"Charlie has worn herself out and needs to sleep before the king arrives, but she was refusing so I brought her up here and she fell asleep because she could not force herself to stay awake." he said, setting Charlie on the bed.

"Now! You make sure she sleeps and I will finish up her to-do list."

Vaggie gave him a confused look, shrugged, and said

"Okay." Alastor waited until Nifty got up and then the two of them got to work so that by the time Charlie woke up at 10:30 everything was ready.

"Thank you Al," she said to him looking around at the spotless hotel.

"Oh don't thank me my dear, thank Nifty she did the cleaning I just made the food." Just then there was a knock at the door.

"Oh! Bet that's him!" Charlie ran to the door and almost ripped it open in excitement but controlled herself at the last minute and opened it calmly. Lucifer stood in the doorway in his normal attire.

"Hello Charlie, How are you?" Charlie who has trying to look calm and professional must have thought fuck it because the next second she's throwing herself at him and saying

"Dad!" as she hugs him. Lucifer just gives her a fond smile as she lets go.

"Come on! I can show you all of the progress I've made!" She said excitedly practically bouncing on her feet as she leads him into the hotel.

"What just happened?" Angel askes (Alastor nearly jumps not have seen him walking up) "I thought that her dad would be an ass-hole with all the panicking she's been doing."

"One my dear I don't advise insulting the king well he's still in the same building as you, two Charlie is just nervous because her father warned her that this probably won't work."

"Ohhhhh. So your saying Charlie is just a perfectionist when it comes to dear old dad."

"Sure if that's how you want to take that. Now let's see where the two royales have gotten to!"

They found Charlie showing Lucifer the Cafeteria.

"It's very well made my dear, and I have heard you now have 18 demons staying here."

"I KNOW!" she practically shouted in her excitement "Oop sorry just happy."

"Perfectly fine, honestly this has gone much better than I imagined. I'm proud of you for working so hard on this"

"Really?" she asked with a look on her face that said this is all she wanted in life.

"Really darling."

After went to Charlie's office and had a quiet talk.

"Charlie dear there is something you need to know."

"I know you think this won't work."

"Yes but not for the reason you think."

"Oh?"

"I think that this would work if it was just Hell that wasn't cooperating but remember who kills millions of us once a year. These exterminators are actually angels, I know it's easy to forget that but they are. This is a beautiful thing you're doing and who knows it might just work. But if it doesn't I want you to know that I still love you and you will always ALWAYS have a home with me." Charlie was now crying.

"Shit, I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you. Please forgive me, darling?"

"It-It's not that Dad I just thought that you would hate me for this and I was afraid that I was doing the wrong thing and….and…" She was now crying so much she couldn't talk but instead just let Lucifer pull her into a hug and let her cry herself out before saying.

"Charlie I will never stop loving you."

They sat together for about another hour before Lucifer had to get back to work.

"Bye Charlie I will visit in a couple of weeks!"

"Bye Dad!"

After he had left Charlie went to bed to catch up on sleep looking happier than she had in the whole time Alastor had been here.

( Later that night )

Alastor was just catching up on some paperwork when Lucifer called him.

"Hello?"

"Hey, how is she?"

"She is sleeping at the monument but after you left I could tell that whatever you two talked about helped, she seemed relaxed and like nothing could put her down." A relieved sigh came over the phone

"Good, I was worried about her."

"Well, if that's all then I really much finish this paperwork."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."
