"Hey baby, hey," she walks up to her children, they both stare before Alyson crawls away. Vernie, however, stared up at his mother and watched her movement. Voe squats down and sits before her son "Hi baby," she says. She is met with wide eyes and no movement or response. "Come to Mommy?" she holds her hands out for him as he continues to stare up. Voe drops her hands and just stares back at him "I'll win your heart one day," she pouts at him

Vernie stares as Voe gets up and walks away, making a little bleat.

"They'll get to know you, they just gotta get used to you," he turns to Cherri "Is that it?"

She shrugs "I don't know, I'm not a mother," she puts a piece of gum in her mouth

"So," Angel starts again "How do you plan on getting your souls back?"

Voe shrugs "I have no idea. Most of them went back to the Vees, so they're not even claimable,"

"Why don't you just go kill 'em again?" Cherri offered

"You could do that," Angel agreed "Show them who Voe the Beau is,"

"Eh,"

"What? What's wrong toots?"

"I was a different woman when I did that,"

"What? It's because you're a mother now?" Cherri rolled her eye

Voe shrugs again "Being a mother changes you!"

"You and Smiles, bringing down your rep!"

"Hate to say it toots, but this is Hell, if you want those souls back, you gotta get your hands dirty,"

She tilts her head "Can I be honest?"

"Eh, sure,"

"I'm not that upset that they're gone. I mean being an overlord did matter to me, and I'm glad that I achieved it, but I don't know if it's a goal that I want to keep pursuing,"

Cherri hits Angel's arm "See Angie? And you thought she was gonna be mad that you went back to Val!"

Voe whips her head around "What?!"

Angel glares at Cherri as she slinks away "Oh shit…."

Voe steps up to Angel "You went back to Valentino?"

"Look, I needed a job and-"

"After everything he's done to you?!"

"He's done things for me too!"

Voe is flabbergasted "I've done things for you,"

Angel furrows his brows "Look, I'm grateful for everything you've done, but," he seems exasperated "Val's the one that made me famous!"

"Yeah? So?"

"I'm tired of being unknown! There were people on my live last week asking 'Who the fuck is Angel Dust'? Can you believe that? 'Just some porn actor' they said. I'm not just 'some porn actor', I'm the porn actor!"

"So fame is worth more than your safety?"

"Yes," he sounds resolute, but she can tell that he's unsure "I won a Sex-xx-i Award! 5 years in a row!"

"And what did it feel like? Huh? When you came home and Val would smack you because you deviated from the approved speech, or didn't smile correctly?"

"I don't care about all that! I care about fame! I want millions of people to see me on their screens. I can't be forgotten! I want to be loved again! "

Her volume increases "ANGEL YOU ARE LOVED!"

"Good on you for being a mom and all that, but I gotta do things my way," he glares at her and walks away

Voe goes back to her room and face plants on her bed. There was nothing she could do to fix anything anymore. At this point, all she wanted was for her children to love her, and that would be enough.

"Okay Casper, what can we do the fix the theater? The theater is my biggest love and I want to share that joy with the denizens of Hell, no matter how many souls I do or do not own,"

"Well, we can try to put on another show, or have a party? You know, I don't know," he sat and thought "I got it! What if we did something for poor sinners instead? Like a soup kitchen or something,"

"And we can run it out of the Hotel! Casper, you're a genius!"

He looks proud of himself, "Yeah,"

"So what do you think Charlie? Can we do it here?" Voe asks

"Oh my gosh! Of course!" Charlie has tears in her eyes "You are getting better every day. You are gonna be redeemed in no time!"

Off in the shadows where he was the most comfortable, stood Alastor watching his wife converse with the princess.

"Why I think it's a wonderful idea! Why don't I help out?" He steps forward

Voe is shocked "Really?"

"Of course! I will my wife anyway that I can!"

She smiles "That's so sweet Alastor,"

"Of course, anything for you, my dear," he wraps his arm around her "And maybe Angel could help! He could make something Italian,"

She looks over at Angel who says "Uh sure, I can help…if Voe wants me to,"

Voe looks down and turns her head away from Angel and at the floor.

"Look, I know that you don't want to talk to me, I just want you to know that whatever I do is my business. But you're still my friend and I'll help you if you want me to,"

"Okay, I guess,"

"Great! You know Voe this is amazing!" Charlie beams "I thought you might have given up after the thing with your businesses and all that!"

Voe tilts her head demonstrating that she would rather not talk about that, and turns to Alastor "Well, we'll need your best recipes babe," she pats his chest

"I will make sure that they are the best dishes any homeless sinners have ever had. If they've ever had any! Ha ha!"

Voe taps his arm "Thanks babe," she tells him

"Good morning Sam!"

"Niffty," Voe kneels in front of the housekeeper "That is not his name,"

"Oh! Come on Vernie!"

"Hi, Vernie!" He made a bunch of gibberish noises and a happy bleat in response. "How are you doing baby?"

He stares up at her with curiosity, and his little nose twitches rapidly. She sits on the floor and allows him to climb up onto her.

"Hi Vernie! Hi!" he runs his nose over her as he climbs up her legs. He continues to sniff her and then lays his head on her shoulder. Voe slowly wraps her arms around her son to see if he would allow her and he does not protest when she does. He stares at her from his spot on her shoulder, taking her in as she holds him. Voe is quietly excited, to not startle or upset him. "It's Momma. I'm your Momma," she tells him, with him blinking in response.

Vernie continues to rest there on her shoulder, opening and closing his hand, and letting out a fawn squeak in return. Voe tries not to smile but can't help it, and Vernie smiles back.

"Alastor! Look, at what Vernie has on!" She tells him

Alastor looks as she holds up their son, and he's wearing a cute red onesie with black feet. "Cute," he muses

"Look, it has a little bowtie like yours!" she is so excited to be dressing him ever since he let her hold him. Vernie is opening and closing his fingers with his other fingers in his mouth. "And the bottom has little hoof prints like your shoes!" she lifts his little foot to show him

"Aw isn't he precious?" he states looking down at them both

She hands Vernie to him and Alastor is taken aback by it for a moment, then holds him properly as Voe holds up another onesie.

"I got this one for Aly, but I don't know if she would let me dress her. It has a bow like my dresses, and it has hoof prints too!"

"Well, why don't we go see?"

They approach Aly in the crib, she's sitting up when Voe approaches, and she puts her arms out reaching for her daughter. Aly looks up and sniffs her mother the same way that her brother did, analyzing her scent to make sure that she is trustworthy. After careful sniffing, Aly reaches up for her mother.

Voe gasps in happiness as she picks up her daughter "Alastor!" she whispers

"I see," he responds, shocked himself as he holds Vernie

She turns to her daughter "Let me massage your little hoovsies," she smiles, putting her down on the bed and rubbing her hooves. Voe pulls out the onesie, Aly claps her hands, and smiles her pacifier falling out of her mouth. "Someone likes the onesie. Can Momma put it on?" Aly grabs at it "Ooh patience!" she puts on the onesie, tying the bow. She holds her. "Look!" she shows Alastor, tearing up.

"My dear, she's adorable," he hugs Voe

"Look at us a big happy family!"

Alastor sighs "Indeed we are," he kisses her forehead

"I'm gonna cry,"

On the day of the soup kitchen, the turnout was wild. The Hotel was full of. impoverished sinners looking for a meal. There was nowhere for any of the residents to sit, but that was worth it to be giving back to the community. Voe had her hair tied up and big plastic gloves on behind the table as she served salad and rice alongside Casper, Niffty, Charlie, and Vaggie. The dispenser of juice sat at the

"Don't forget your bread!" Niffty calls out

"Actually I can't have any-"

She giggles "Don't forget!" and piles some garlic bread and rolls on the demon's plate

"This is amazing, right Casper?"

"Definitely, this was a good idea!"

"Well, it was your idea,"

Casper sighs proudly "Yeah,"

They had Cherri at the door since Bean was unavailable, and she seemed like she was doing a good job

"You sign in or you starve!" she called out

"What do you think Charlie? Is this great or what?"

"This is AMAZING! Oh- you look really hungry," she piles food on the demon's plate

"This is so fun! I'm so glad we're doing this!" Voe seems cheery and teary-eyed

Casper chuckled "Don't cry into the food,"

Charlie gasps, about to put food on the empty plate "Eric! What are you doing?"

"I just want some lasagna, just put it on my plate,"

"Uh no! This food isn't for you!"

"So we have to starve?"

"Eric, this food is for homeless sinners!"

He scoffs "So I have to starve because they're homeless?"

Charlie is appalled "Leave," she points

"Ugh,"

"Don't forget your bread!" Niffty places a large roll on his plate

"Damn, thanks Niffty!" Eric takes a large bite out of it, swallowing quickly. When he walks away there's a queasy look on his face before vomiting on the floor. Everyone stops and stares at him. It's complete and total silence before someone else vomits. Then another, and another. Everyone who had eaten was throwing up the food. Voe spotted someone recording in the corner before they threw up as well. Charlie and Vaggie ran out to try and help the sick sinners, but all that Voe could do was stand behind the table in disbelief as it all went to shit.

"At least we had somewhere they can rest?" Casper offered

Alastor appears "What a shame there's no hospitals in Pentagram City,"

Voe widens her eyes "What about my hospital?"

"That's right! We can take them there!" Casper agreed

"How are we going to get all those sinners there?"

Voe thinks, "Well I can fly…"

"Why don't we bring everything here?" Charlie asks

"Where are the residents going to be?"

"There are still rooms left and the sick ones can stay here until they're better,"

Voe sighs "Fine,"

"Great! Let's get everyone to a room!"

They each help sinners to a room, filling them all in about an hour. Voe and Casper collapse on the couch

"Well, that was a disaster,"

"Well, at least we were able to fix it,"

She sits up and looks to her assistant, "We gotta do something else,"

"Like what?"

She looks away "I have no idea,"

Casper sits up with her "Maybe a…state fair? People Love State Fairs,"

Voe turns and shakes Casper "Why are you so smart?"

"Uhh, I don't know,"

"Hi again Lucifer!" Voe sings entering the King's room

He turns to greet her as he looks up from his novel "Oh hey,"

"I need a favor again," she smiles tightly

"Okay…"

"So, our soup kitchen didn't turn out well…"

"Oh yeah, I saw that,"

She gets closer to him "So, I was thinking…maybe we could have a state fair?"

He slams the novel shut "A what? Where are you having a state fair?"

"Well, remember you told me about how you had a theme park?"

"And remember how I told you that we can't leave this ring? Sinners cannot leave the Pride Ring,"

Voe falls over him "But why…?"

Lucifer tries not to laugh "Because…should I remind you that sinners are here for punishment? Not on vacation. This is what you get,"

"But I wanted to do something nice!"

"Sinners don't get nice,"

"Please!" she begs

He sits up "I'm sorry, they can't leave the ring. It's not just me, you'd have to ask the Seraphims in Heaven for permission too, and you're not going to get permission from them,"

"Maybe make one in the Pride Ring? Please?"

He sighs "Fine. I will help you, but only because I feel bad about you dying,"

She twirls her hair "Is that the only reason?"

"Do you want my help or not?

"Of course!"

"Okay then,"

"Oooh A state fair! That is amazing that you helped out Dad, remember LuLu Land? Great memories!"

He crosses his arms "Yeah, something like that,"

Voe is standing along with Alastor, their children in baby carriers, and Voe is beaming "Isn't this amazing Alastor?"

"It's an amusement park, pretty childish isn't it?"

"I like amusement parks! And we should be able to be silly instead of killing each other all the time!"

"I suppose, but most of these sinners are adults, it's a bit strange,"

Charlie butts in "I think it's amazing!"

"I think it's a great idea!" Lucifer agrees with a wide grin

Alastor squints in frustration "Very well,"

"Alastor, have you ever been to an amusement park?"

He sighs "I guess not,"

Voe's eyes widen and her jaw drops "You're going on a ride,"

"Oh, I'm not the ride type, my dear,"

"You never know until you try!" Voe goes up to Vaggie "Can you watch them, please?"

"Of course,"

"Look at my girl being a babysitter,"

Vaggie puts her head behind her ear and blushes, taking the twins "Whatever,"

Voe pulls Alastor to a rollercoaster and goes to the bathroom while waiting in line. Some sinner demons in front of them turned back and flinched ostentatiously when they saw the Radio Demon behind them.

"Don't turn around," they whispered and Alastor's grin grew wider. As he waited for his wife, he leaned over to the side and slowly loosened a visible screw in the ride, just before his wife rejoined him at his side.

"Did I miss anything?" she asked

"Nothing at all, my dear,"

Alastor dissipates his cane and steps on, the ride creaks as it starts up and Voe holds on to the bars in the seat.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes indeed," he says with a smirk

The ride starts and up they go, when they come to the first dip everyone physically reacts except for Alastor, whose stance and smile stay in place. Once they get to the highest point on the ride, they get to the tippy top of the hill she grabs into Alastor's arm, and the creaking returns as they head down the hill. The car starts shaking intensely and instantly falls apart. Dozens of sinners are free falling in the air, including Voe. All that was running through her mind was that she would have to get reacquainted with her children again and how they wouldn't remember her. She starts to cry when she feels cool hands around her back and legs. She opens her eyes.

"Oh! Look at that. I wasn't expecting to win something so beautiful at the carnival today," She throws her arms around Alastor's neck and cries "Aww you must be frightened, don't worry I've got you,"

"Oh my god Voe are you okay?!" Charlie, Vaggie, Angel, Husk, and Lucifer rush up to the doe "I swear it was sturdy this morning. We tried it out so many times,"

"Yeah, I was the one riding it the whole time," Angel agreed

"Huh," Alastor muses as he puts his wife down.

"What?" Angel asks

"And where were you today? Didn't want to join in on the festivities?"

Angel tilts his head "Huh?"

"And you went out and never returned a few weeks ago during the soup kitchen. Why is that?"

"Now hold on, I know you not blaming me,"

"Come on guys, let's just make sure Voe is okay. And everyone else!"

"I'll take care of my wife," Alastor pipes up

Voe runs over to Vaggie "Give me my babies!"

"Of course!" She holds her twins close to her and they are utterly confused by her tears.

Casper runs up to her "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

She shakes her head, not able to speak through her tears.

"This is probably not a good time,"

"Is there something wrong Casper? Let's discuss," Alastor takes him to the side and questions "What is it that you wanted to tell her?"

"Well, whatever sickness was going around a week ago is back, and people are throwing up by the barrel. There's also some other malfunctioning rides on the other side of the park, and Sinstagram is ripping her a new one, so tell her to stay away from social media,"

"Oh my,"

"In a bad way right? You're saying it in a bad way?"

Alastor does not respond to the question but instead says "I will take care of it, don't you worry!" his grin growing wider

Alastor returns to Voe who has finally stopped crying "Hello my dear, how are you doing now?"

She inhales "I'm okay now," the twins are in their carriers "I am so sorry for making you go on that ride,"

"Now now, you are not to blame. I think you should call it a day,"

She nods "Yeah, I just want to spend time with my kids right now,"

"Splendid," Alastor agrees "Oh here's your phone," he hands it to her

She sniffles "Thanks,"

"A LuLu Land knockoff gone wrong,"

"She doesn't know what she's doing,"

"Is Voe the Beau trying to kill people?"

"Worse than any Overlord,"

"This is just insulting at this point!"

Voe shuts the laptop urgently and falls back on her bed. She looks over at her kids in their crib as they sleep, knowing that they deserve a mother who does wonderful things for people and is not disgraced by the public. Two outings, two L's, she had one more chance to get a W, and she had to make it count.

"Lucifer,"

"Hmm?'

"I have a question,"

"Yeah, but first I have a question for you. Are you okay?"

She waves him off "Don't worry about me. But, what is the rest of Hell like?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is it like this? Or is it like a proper society?"

"I guess you could say it's a proper society, but it's kind of hard for them because of poverty,"

"Excellent,"

He looks up confused "Huh?"

"No, not excellent that people are poor. But excellent that there are some societies in Hell," she turns her back to him "Can you leave this ring?"

"Oh yeah!"

"I need you to bring something to another ring for me,"

"Wait is this about redemption?"

"Why?"

"I think you should take it slow, maybe rest?"

She whips back around "I can't rest, my children my children have a disgrace for a mother!"

"What? Voe you're not a disgrace,"

Voe slumps onto his bed "Everyone else thinks so,"

"Screw what everyone else thinks!" he sits next to her

She leans on his shoulder "I don't know why things keep going wrong,"

"Maybe, just take it easy. Relax. The people that love you do not think that you're a disgrace,"

She looks up at him through her lashes "You love me?"

"Of course I do," he kisses her forehead "Why wouldn't I?"

"I don't know what to do Lucifer,"

"You know what? I'll make sure nothing happens to your next event, you'll be guaranteed to succeed,"

Voe sits up "Really?"

"Really,"

She went and posted a video saying "I'm going to have a bake sale out of my theater, and all the profits will be sent to orphans in the Greed Ring. Run, don't walk!" She's scared to do lives now, afraid of what people would say, but she posts the video and closes the app immediately, hoping that it would make some kind of noise.

"Do you need any help, my dear?" Alastor asked as Voe prepared to bake

She shakes her head "No, I love baking, I can do this on my own. Besides, you've done enough baby," she kisses him, and he is frustrated now unaware of how to proceed.

The video did make some noise, but unsurprisingly was mostly people who were coming to see her fail. They stood outside the theater screaming and making fun of her entire plan, kind of like the opposite of a protest.

"Would you like me to take care of them?" He raised his brow

"I thought you weren't killing anymore,"

He smirks "I didn't say I was going to kill them,"

"It's fine, leave them be,"

"Your choice,"

Voe meets Lucifer inside and she hugs him before he helps her set up the booth. Everything was going quite well, people hoards of people buying baked goods from Voe the Beau, perhaps they didn't care about the cause but it didn't matter, she was feeding them and they weren't throwing up and nothing was collapsing.

"Hey babe, could you watch the stand and keep everything going for me? I have to use the bathroom,"

"Of course!"

Lucifer stood by as she left. Why hadn't she asked him? He was the one who pledged to make sure that nothing went wrong today. He was basically watching over everything anyway. He knew that his chances with Voe were over, but it still irked him to see her ask him to do any of the things that he knew he could do for her, which was everything that he did and more. He could do anything that Alastor could do… including standing there and letting people take the money from the box?

Lucifer jumped into gear, stretching out his hand and paralyzing the would-be thieves, before he went over and retrieved the money from them, turning them into worms for good measure. Voe comes storming out when she hears the commotion.

"What just happened?" She asks

"These two sinners were trying to steal all of your money," Lucifer told her immediately

"What?"

"And Alastor let them!"

Voe looked as if she was smacked in the face by those words "W-what?" she asked, much softer "No, I think you saw wrong Lucifer," she looked up at her husband and waited for his response

"Of course, he saw wrong. I would never do that! I was trying to stop them! If anything, I would talk to Angel,"

Voe blinks slowly "See Lucifer, you had it all wrong," she says, but her tone betrays something else. And so does her silence for the rest of the event as Alastor stands beside her. _

When Alastor enters Voe's bedroom, he sees that the twins have already been put to bed, everything is in order and Voe lays on the bed with her back to the door. He reaches over to give her a kiss goodnight when she sits up.

"I think you should go to your room tonight,"

"What? What's the matter, darling?"

She looks away from him "I don't…want to share a bed with you,"

"…Why? Do you really think I would try and sabotage you?"

She looks down at her fingers and takes a deep breath "Alastor you were there,"

"What do you mean?" he squints

"For everything, you were there,"

"Well I-"

"You were the only one that was there for everything," she stares at him as he stands in silence "Say something!" she hisses

"What would you like me to say?"

Voe shrugs "I don't know, maybe 'Of course I didn't'"

"You seem to have made up your mind that I did do it,"

Voe shakes her head and laughs "Why you would do this to me? I know you may not love me, but I thought you at least cared about me,"

"I didn't do anything," he asserts

"Ruining not only my endeavors, but my reputation and I could have died!"

"But you didn't and I saved you, that proves I didn't do anything. I was also on that ride,"

"There was a moment where you were left unattended every single time,"

"You really think I would do that to you?"

Voe rubs her forehead "Please stop lying to me,"

"I don't know what you want to hear,"

She stands and rushes him "Why are you fucking up my progress?!

"I do not know what you mean," his smile was tight

"What's your problem?"

He stood in front of her, the ever-present smile wavering ever so slightly

"I don't think Heaven is the proper place for you, dearest." That was all he said

"What?! That's why I'm trying to be redeemed!" She crosses her arms

"Well, maybe you shouldn't." He spat back quick as ever

"What? Why? I'm so close to finally leaving this place!"

"Well, maybe I don't want you to leave!" His radio filter dropped, along with his ears, eyes, and the rest of his body

"May I touch you?"

"No,"

"Okay. You may touch me." He turns and looks over his shoulder apprehensively, before turning back and slinking his arms around her waist, burying his face in her chest.

She stood very still, suppressing the urge to hug him back, her arms limp at her sides, when he took her hands and placed one on his back and the other in his hair. She smiles softly and scratches the spot behind his ears, and they perk up

"You know you could try," she tells him

Alastor stares up at her in slight confusion "What?"

"You could try to be redeemed, and we could go together. Bring our kids along with us. You've already chosen to stop killing, so you're on your way. Have you ever thought of that?"

No, he hadn't thought about it. He hadn't even considered that there was a universe where he was good enough for Heaven, or one where he wanted to go. But in truth, he wanted to be wherever she was.

"How about this, I'll halt my redemption plans for you. That way we can go together, however that works. Ha ha,"

"How does it work?"

She shrugs "I have no idea," she laughs "But we'll make it work, for us," she holds his chin "Okay?"

Alastor gives her a soft smile and relaxed eyes "Okay," he buries his face into her chest and they sit there for a moment. One nice and peaceful moment, that is immediately ruined by the sound of attack drones firing outside the window.
