Octavia the Babysitter

Verosika was sitting on a bench at the streets of Imp City, she learned that she had a concert tomorrow on the other side of town which was far away & she'll be away until the day after tomorrow. She was thinking on who would babysit Blitzo while she was away, she would choose one of her gang but they had plans along with Vortex going with her since he's her bodyguard. She would drop him off at Beelzebub's, but she was also busy with work.

"Excuse me, are you Verosika Mayday?" a voice said

"Hm?" Verosika said as she looked "Oh, hey, you're Stolas's kid."

"You know about me?" Octavia said

"Yeah, I invited your dad to a party & he told me all about you." Verosika said "Did you get the autograph, I got him to give you

"I did, thank you very much." Octavia said as she sat next to her "You seem a bit troubled."

"Sorry, it's just that I'm having a hard time thinking of who can babysit my kid." Verosika said

"You have a kid?" Octavia said surprisingly

"Yes, I took him into my home a few days ago." Verosika said

"What's his name?" Octavia said

"Blitzo." Verosika said

"Blitzo? That's kind of an unusual name, don't you think?" Octavia said

"I know." Verosika said

"You know, I can babysit your kid if you want?" Octavia offered

"Really?" Verosika said

"Of course, I mean it would be a brand new experience for me, I always wanted to know what it's like to care for a child." Octavia said

"Thank you so much, Octavia." Verosika said

"No problem, when do I start?" Octavia said

"Tomorrow, be sure to pack up what you need for the night." Verosika said

"Okay." Octavia said

The next day, Octavia arrived at Verosika's place

"Hello Verosika, I hope I'm not late." Octavia said

"No, you're just on time." Verosika said "Blitzo, your babysitter is here."

"Coming." Blitzo said as he came downstairs

"Oh my gosh, is this him? He looks so adorable." Octavia gushed

"Blitzo, this is Octavia, she'll be taking care of you while I'm away." Verosika said

"Hello." Blitzo said

"Okay, I'll be back home tomorrow, be sure to behave, alright Blitzo?" Verosika said

"Okay." Blitzo said

"Good boy." Verosika said as she hugged him

"Have fun at your concert, Verosika." Octavia said

"Same to you." Verosika said "Bye Blitzo, I love you."

"..." Blitzo froze in silence

"Honey, I said I love you." Verosika said

"..." Blitzo still froze in silence

"Blitzo?" Verosika said in concern

"V, you ready yet?" Vortex called out

"Oh yeah, I'm ready." Verosika said "Octavia, if anything happens to him, be sure to call my manager, here's her number."

"Got it." Octavia said

"See you both later." Verosika said as she left

"Hey, are you alright?" Octavia asked

"Yeah, I'm fine, I guess." Blitzo said

"Don't worry, little one, she'll be back before you know it." Octavia assured "How about you & I have a seat & get to know each other."

"Okay." Blitzo said as he & Octavia's sat on the sofa

"You have the first question." Octavia said

"Are you one of those Goetia demons?" Blitzø asked

"Yes, I am, I'm actually one of the heirs." Octavia said

"Cool." Blitzo said

"You know, you kind of remind me of this Imp I'm familiar with." Octavia said

"Oh yeah, who was he?" Blitzo said

"I don't know, I never caught his name." Octavia said "I never saw him with my Dad for the past couple of months which was probably a good thing."

"Why?" Blitzo said

"My Dad kept hanging around with him more than me." Octavia said "Unfortunately, that didn't stop my parents from divorcing."

"Why are they getting a divorce?" Blitzo said

"Well, their marriage started falling apart due to that imp that Dad was always hanging around with." Octavia said

"Do you think he was purposely taking your Dad from you?" Blitzo said

"Possibly." Octavia said

"How do you know that?" Blitzo asked

"Well, Dad always flirts with him, but thinking back on it, the imp never reciprocates." Octavia said "I guess the imp only wants something from Dad but I don't know what it is."

"I kinda wished my mom divorced my Dad." Blitzo said

"Now, why would you want that?" Octavia said surprisingly

"Because my Dad is a piece of crap, he never cared or loved me at all, he even claimed my ex-best friend to be the son he always wanted, all because he had more talent than me." Blitzo ranted

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Octavia said sympathetically

"At least I won't have to deal with him now that I'm living with Verosika, you're actually lucky that you have a Dad who cares about you, that is if he does." Blitzo said

"He does, but what about your Mum? Were you close to her?" Octavia asked

"Mm-hm." Blitzo nodded sadly

"You're lucky, I'm not even close with my mother anymore." Octavia said

"You know, I was actually bought by a Goetia." Blitzo said

"What!? Who in the world bought you!?" Octavia said in alert

"I sort of forgot his name." Blitzo said

"Can you describe them?" Octavia said

"Well, he was big & tall, had brown feathers, oh & he also had a white mask on his face with red markings on it." Blitzo said "You know him?"

"I don't think so, although your description of him is quite familiar." Octavia said "Why did he buy you for?"

"His son wanted a playmate for his birthday, I forgot his name." Blitzo said "You kinda look like him though."

"Hmm." Octavia said awkwardly "Let's talk about something else, do you have any friends."

"No, I have nobody." Blitzo said

"Then how about we go to the park, we can get you some new friends there." Octavia said

"Yay!" Blitzo said

"That was very odd, could it be that…" Octavia thought before shaking it off "Nah, that would be preposterous, Blitzo was possibly making that up, kids do say crazy things after all."

When Blitzo & Octavia got to the park, Blitzo decided to go to play on the sandbox until

"Hello there." a voice said

Blitzo looked up & saw two sinner children

"Oh, hi, you guys wanna play?" Blitzo said

"Mm-hm." The sinner girl nodded

"Cool, I'm Blitzo." Blitzo said

"I'm Ralfina & this is my brother Marshall." Ralfina said

"Howdy there." Marshall smiled

"Nice to meet you two." Blitzo said

"First time meeting sinners like us?" Marshall asked

"Yeah, when did you two die exactly?" Blitzo said

"Several months ago." Ralfina said

"Oh, I never knew kids could go here to Hell, what did you guys do?" Blitzo said

"Oh, just something you wouldn't wanna know." Ralfina smiled sweetly

"You go to school?" Marshall said

"No, not yet." Blitzo said

"You should attend our school, Sin Elementary, you'll love it there." Marshall said

"Okay, cool." Blitzo smiled

After an hour of playing with Ralfina & Marshall.

"Hey kids, time for us to head home." Ralphie called out

"Coming Papa." Ralfina said

"Well, we better get going, it was nice meeting you, Blitzo." Marshall said

"You too, I hope I see you guys again at school." Blitzo said

"We hope so too, bye bye." Ralfina said as she & her brother left

"I see you made some new friends & it looks like you hit it off." Octavia said

"Yeah, I like them." Blitzo said

"Are you ready to head back?" Octavia said

"Mm-hm, thanks for taking me here, Octavia." Blitzo said

"You're welcome, little one." Octavia smiled

When Blitzo & Octavia arrived at home

"Octavia." A voice called

Octavia & Blitzo turned to see Stella

"Oh no." Octavia slightly panicked

"Octavia, what within hell are you doing?" Stella said

"Hey Mum, it's nothing really?" Octavia said nervously

"Who is this?" Stella said

"Um, Mother, this is Blitzo…I'm babysitting him for the day." Octavia said hesitantly

"You're what!? Now what plebeian hired you to babysit their child?" Stella said incredulously

"It's not a big deal, Verosika needed someone to look after him until she came back tomorrow." Octavia said

"Octavia, you should know that you're Goetia Royalty, you should neither be babysitting like a poor person nor be interacting with a low rank demon." Stella scolded "Come along, dear, we're going home."

"What?! But what about Blitzo?" Octavia said shockingly

"He's not our problem." Stella said carelessly

"But I can't leave him all by himself, he's unable to take care of himself." Octavia protested as he picked up Blitzo "Look at him, are you really gonna have me leave a defenseless child who is my responsibility for the day, you know I'm gonna have to learn to take care of children when I have my own someday. Please, just let me do this, just this once."

"...Ugh, fine." Stella said irritatingly "But I'm gonna supervise to see how you handle it."

"Thanks Mum." Octavia said in relief

When they were inside, Octavia was cooking dinner while Blitzo & Stella were at the table

"Hey Blitzo, what was your Mum like?" Octavia said

"She was big & beeeeeeeeautiful!" Blitzo said enthusiastically "But she can also be scary."

"Oh, just like my Mum." Octavia said

"Hm." Stella smiled slightly

"What about Verosika? Do you think she's beautiful?" Octavia said

"Uh-huh, always." Blitzo said

"Wait, what did you mean by was?" Stella realized

"Blitzo's mum died." Octavia said "Isn't that right, Blitzo?"

"Yeah, she died in a fire." Blitzo said

"Oh…that's a shame." Stella said

"Hey, Ms. Goetia, do you have any powers?" Blitzo said

"I'm a Goetia, of course I got powers." Stella said

"Show him what you can do, Mum." Octavia said

"Alright, alright." Stella said as summoned a violet flame in her hand which formed into the shape of a bird which flew around her & Blitzo

"Whoa." Blitzo said in awe "That's amazing."

"It's pretty unique how you & Uncle Andre's powers are basically opposites, he's Ice & your Fire." Octavia said

"Are you gonna start dating again since you're divorced, Ms. Goetia?" Blitzo said

"Blitzo." Octavia scolded lightly

"Oh, sorry." Blitzo apologized sheepishly

"No no, it's alright, Via." Stella said "I hardly ever want to start dating since I've been through enough of that failed marriage of mine."

"Mum, if it's not too much trouble, maybe you & Dad can try relationship counseling?" Octavia said

"No Via, I'm afraid your father & I are not compatible." Stella said before thinking "We never were."

"Have you guys met the King & Queen along with the Sins?" Blitzo said

"Oh yeah, we definitely know them." Stella said

"Do you have a chance to meet them? I always wanted to meet Lucifer, Lilith, Satan, Mammon, & Athan." Blitzo said excitedly

"Athan?" Stella said confusingly

"He means Leviathan's other half, the purple dragon head." Octavia said

"Oh." Stella said

"Blitzo, I'm sure you'll be able to meet them someday, I might even introduce you to Charlie." Octavia said

"Who's Charlie?" Blitzo said

"She's the Princess of Hell, Lucifer & Lilith's daughter." Octavia said

"I didn't know they had a kid." Blitzo said

"They do, you would love her, she babysat me when I was your age." Octavia said

A little later, Stella was reading a book when Blitzo approached

"Whatcha doing?" Blitzo said

"Reading." Stella said simply

Blitzo said nothing as he climbed up to sit on Stella's lap before looking at the book to read it. Stella rolled her eyes as she decided to roll with it. Later, Octavia came to the living room to see Blitzo asleep on Stella's lap as she was still reading, Octavia smiled as she pulled it her phone & took a picture

"I see you two are getting along." Octavia said softly "We should take him to bed."

"I can't." Stella whispered "I'm afraid I might wake him up, a little help?"

"Okay." Octavia giggled

The next day, Blitzo, Octavia, & Stella were watching TV until they heard a knock on the door. Octavia opened it to reveal Verosika

"V!" Blitzo said as he ran up & hugged Verosika

"Hey baby, did you have fun?" Verosika smiled

"Yeah, I made new friends at the park." Blitzo said

"That's great." Verosika said as she noticed Stella "Oh Via, I didn't know your mother was here."

"Yeah, she kinda found out, but luckily she was cool with it." Octavia said

"Oh, good, I hope he didn't give you any trouble." Verosika said

"Not at all, he was perfectly fine, but we must be going." Stella said simply

"See you later, Little One." Octavia said as he pat Blitzo's head

"Bye Via, bye Ms. Goetia." Blitzo said

"Farewell impling." Stella said "Verosika, you should consider enrolling him in school, after all it is the law."

"Don't worry, I'm working on it." Verosika said

As Stella & Octavia were walking home

"So, what'd you think?" Octavia asked

"You did rather well, I'll admit I was impressed." Stella said "But why the hell did he look like that imp who was seeing your father."

"I don't know, I thought the same too, although some of these imps do look the same." Octavia said

"Well, regardless he's…a nice child." Stella admitted

"So?" Octavia said knowingly

"Oh alright, you can babysit him again." Stella gave in

"Yes!" Octavia said joyfully

"...Via, how about you & I have a day out together, just the two of us?" Stella said

"You mean it?" Octavia said

"Of course, I can take you to any place you wanna go, does that sound nice, darling?" Stella said

"That would be awesome." Octavia smiled
