Lullaby was created by me
check out the pairing of Andrealphus and jesse ashirotyan on twitter
Spoils between them:
Zon was able to get an old face that helped raise Charlie when her parents split in the form of her former nanny. Who couldn't believe the sight of twins in the old nursery within Lucifer's mansion. Went on congrating Lucifer on his newest heirs and women he had them with.
"Seems you all aren't the only ones that have been blessed." She shared.
A male pup with father's height and muscular build and everything from his mother was born to Beelzebub and Vortex. Went on to be named Baʿal Zebub after a 23 seconds birth within the ring of Gluttony. At the same time, a girl was born to Asmodeus and Fizzarolli within the Ring of Lust. Who came into hell after a 16 hour labor with her parents. Instantly Asmodeus and Fizzarolli knew the name Asmodai for their child. As another was born to Mammon in the Ring of Greed, a c- section was how his daughter came into hell. Mammon went with the name Mamyun for his daughter. Surprise about Satan having a child of his own, came with little details. Going to name his child Smil while never revealing the child's gender.
"You sure clairvoyance isn't another power of yours?" Lucifer asked Elanye once.
"Nope, but I know a spell that would allow us to see the future for a few seconds." She offered.
"No thanks." He placed his head on her shoulder.
He happily hummed when she kissed the top of his uncombed tresses free of his tophat. Showing the two were within the inner gardens of Lucifer's Mansion enjoying the afternoon. Casually dressed with Elanye in a Druid inspired dress, droplet beads on the bra, hidden pockets, and embroidered runes. Her hair is a braided bun with a green apple bun holder. Matching flats with a small apple embel near the toe were wore. Lucifer wore a green long sleeve shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows. A pair of simple greens with matching sneakers and unzipped hooded vest. His hair neatly messed up without a care of combing it back. Content without a care after being informed Elanye had completely recovered from the birth.
"We're still going to meet your daughter and Vaggie?" Elanye reminded him.
"Five more minutes." Lucifer quietly sighed.
Hoo Hoo answered him from his perch on Elanye's lap by puffing up his feathers and sinking his neck in. Which got Lucifer to reach one in a lazy manner and stroke the side of his head.
"I hate when your owl is a punctual one," He minorly huffed, "I don't want to spoil this moment."
"What of your eldest daughter?" She reminded him.
"Char Char will understand," He reangled his head to look at her, "I finally get to be alone with you."
Five weeks of recovering after the birth left Elanye and Lucifer to live separately wasn't easy. To avoid simple temptation was the only solution decided upon by the two of them. Elanye stayed with grandfather in a wrath ring as Lucifer carried on his duties in the pride ring. Letters and phone calls were exchanged on a daily basis between the two. Filled with supportive passages and loving phrases when read over. Their twin sons were looked after by Zon and rehired the nanny the whole time. Ended when the two were reunited after the fifth week ended three days ago. When a doctor's appointment cleared Elayne to fully mended to be back with Lucifer.
"I hope everything was alright while we were separated?" She quietly asked, "I heard from everyone that Alastor, Adam, and my brother kept you company."
"Late nights drinking whiskey and swapping stories." He recalled those long nights.
"That explains what Charlie told me." She laughed.
Hearing about how residents of the hotel found a smashed Lucifer laying passed out in the parlor. Funny sight depending on one of the three was an odd outcome each time. When he drank with Alastor, two were found sprawled out over furniture. When he drank with Adam and Wywave, he was covered with a blanket and watched until he woke up.
"You know, my brother can't get drunk." She shared.
"Guy can still down a few shots." Lucifer was impressed.
"You should have seen him during his angry fueled days," She never liked those memories, "Drinking was just a hobby for him."

Elanye opened a red, crescent moon, shaped music box made of wood to start up beginning of Bloodmarch lullaby. One that Corbin listened to from outside the nursery with nanny standing near by. Listening Elanye to sing to the twins after they were put down for their nap that after noon.
'Drift off to sleep,
My little witch/ warlock,
Beware of the beings in your dreams,
Some are friendly, Some are not,
Always keep a guarded heart,
Remember the forgotten tales of old,
Warning you of lurks beyond,
Listen to breeze from Lonely trees,
Softly whispers words of wisdom,
Guiding you to correct path,
Don't be scared of the scars you'd see,
Your will find what you seek,
Remember watch where you step,
Keep a aware and alert,
'Cause your eyes can't always see,
Howling winds and fog of night,
Hide away the most dangerous sights,
Always keep a guarded heart,
Trust what your been taught,
My little witch/ warlock,
And listen to breeze from Lonely trees,
Never forgot what they say,
Look past the world what your eyes can see,'
Way she looked at both of those set of closing eyes in side by side cribs with her wearing same smile for the two. Almost dancing in the small gap when she lost her self to music box playing. Acting as if she was in the middle of two stepping with Lucifer leading her on dance floor. Soon came to life when his actual hands took their place and he moved with her.
"Thought you needed the company," Lucifer whispered, "Being that present company can't talk yet."
Corbin tried not to roll his eyes at Lucifer's statement made aunt his being alone with the twins, in fear of getting caught. Which left him wanting to stick his whole fist in his mouth keep quiet.
"Let me guess," She as glad to see him, "Finished early and had time to visit before off to see your daughter?"
"Tell what the women win." He pointed her toward the nursery's entrance when the music stopped playing.
Nanny reached out and patted Corbin on his head as she stepped forward into the door frame with a crooked smile. That Corbin glad he wasn't raised by her with shiver sent up his spine. Had him trying to avoid not getting slapped by a tail belonging to the nanny as she greeted Lucifer. Telling him how his dancing with new mother of his newest heirs was excellent. Left Corbin trying to not make a Mr. Burns reference despite his best efforts to stay quiet.
"You sure you're not alone?" Lucifer asked her.
"Give it up." Elanye addressed Corbin.
"Not until I know what gave me away." Corbin had to know.
Lucifer pointed out that Hoo Hoo perched near the music box was the one that gave away Corbin's position. Always looking in direction of the door despite the nanny's attempts to hide him. Left the nanny to apologize to Corbin as he got up drawing his hood back. Thanking her for at least trying as he was allowed to enter the occupied nursery. On to his shoulder Hoo Hoo flew across the nursery.
"Glad I left my familiars at home," Corbin was glad he didn't bring Cornelius and Laiki with him, "Who knew Ars Goetia had such interesting lives."
"How about it?" Lucifer asked Elanye.
"Besides going out?" She looked at the book, "I never been a fan of second rate love novels."
"Let's learn about a new trend." Lucifer had his hand taken.
Elanye stepped closer to him with her free hand reaching for the back of Lucifer's neck to touch the small hairs on back of his neck. Made his tail wiggle from tip to base as her bare fingertips lightly brushed skin and hair. Groofy grin plastered across his face was all she needed for now. Leaving the nanny with the twins and to knit away the hours as she watched them slumber.
"Do share?" Elanye asked Corbin by repeating Lucifer's questions.
"I recall what Stolas told me about,"Corbin strokes Hoo Hoo, "Being 10 year old romance between the writer and Andrealphus."
Lucifer had the book handed to him already hooked after what he had to say and ready to read. His tail snatching Elanye's hand as she would act as his guide when he cracked the book open.
"Learn anything else?" She inquired since he started as the new delivery person.
"When I was buying my own copy …" He recalled the scene.
He handed over gossip magazine with his eyes glowing to show her how writer was confronted by his former lover. White orbs surrounding them showed what magazine's pictures didn't depict. Octavia and Corbin being forced to an autograph signing of the Stolas new read. Which he made Corbin buy a copy before he witnessed a confrontal scene went down .
"Andrealphus is involved with a male half- imp/ half-succubi?" Lucifer was amused.
"I didn't see this coming." Elanye went wide eyed.
"You're telling me." Corbin shrugged.
Hoo Hoo flapping his wings to this bit of news that orbs started to pop from this minor disturbance. Left Corbin to remove one of his gloves to reach up and sooth his aunt's owl over this discovery. Feeling her anxiety and stress through their forming bond that he flooded a somg.
"What plans do you have for tonight?" Lucifer asked.
8*8
Corbin guessed by a black lace over golden solid, Sweetheart Neckline, Elegant, A-Line Dress and open and round toed pumps with a 3in heel. Her hair styled and combed to lay on her shoulder to nails done up in apple artwork. Ribbon choker with apple pendent to matching earrings she wore. Splash lipstick and winged carve done to her corner kf her eyes. Worn by his aunt as Lucifer wore a gold and black outfit to match her, to the way he kept his golden, button up shirt with sleeves rolled up, open to display tone chest. Neatly tucked into tailored slacks in a black coloring and a matching belt with buckle. A black coat with gold print on the collar draped on his shoulders. A golden snake necklace with red eyes worn around back of his neck with the head slithering. White length gloves and matching shoes finished off his outfit.
Where he ended up separating from them to do some personal business of his own with a promise. What he liked about customer service in hell was nothing like in the living world once he started. Candle shop's vast selection of candles had him going with standard cylinder made from bee wax. Making his way to one of the shops run by a friendly spider demon. Who gave him the usual greeting while giving in what numbers of Sweet Tooth products being sold. Which was high since the craftsmanship put into the wood pieces showed in sales.
"Everything is almost sold out." Spider pointed out.
"I pass this along that to my uncle." Corbin was impressed.
A copy of inventory that would need to be restocked before next delivery was handed over to Corbin. Departing in a better mood as he tucked away inventory list into i er pocket of his waist coat. Stopping neat cross work with his hellphone for usual message from his family members. Usual was his uncle telling him to be careful getting home and grandpa wishing him a good day.
He went aware of a celestial presence of Cherubs in mechanized armor coming from behind him.
