A Broken Reunion: Broken and Lonely 2 Ch. 04

Celest had been spending an hour studying after her parents told her of their wishes for her to at least take an Equivalency Exam for high school. They just want her to have more options in the future.

The now grown child decided to take a break and goes downstairs of the Hotel. She then hears the bell ringing at the front desk.

The Not-so-Little Hazbin picked up her pace as she always wanted to do this. "Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!" she wears a big smile while rounding the corner. "Where we believe inside every demon…" the girl stops at the site of who is standing there. "Ms. Kayla? Ms. Velvette? What are you doing here?" she then takes notice how the Vee's sleeves sway. "And what happened to your arms?"

At the question, Velvette looks over at the sleeves before looking down.

Kayla notices this and places a hand on her boss' shoulder. "It's a long story," the star-eyed Sinner then turns to Celest. "I know that this is sudden, but you wouldn't happen to have a couple rooms open?"

.oOo.

"They did what!?" Charlie half shouts.

The Princess of Hell, her wife and daughter, as well as Kayla and Velvette now sit in the lounge.

Kayla looks down. "Ms. Carmilla didn't react well to finding out Ms. Velvette is married to her daughter. And because I was originally hired on as her assistant I was fired as well."

Vaggie crosses her arms. "Can't say I blame her."

At that, her family scolds. "Vaggie/Mama!?"

"What!? You know it's true. Even before dying, none of the Vee's had the best relationship with the any of the Overlords. Especially the Carmines."

The star-eyed woman turns to the Vee. "You were really that bad?"

You have no idea.

Velvette shrugs her shoulders while nodding her head.

"Guess I shouldn't be surprised," she sighs as she leans back. "This is Hell after all."

Celest then looks up in thought. "I think I get why, Ms. Velvette's here. But I thought you had a place of your own, Ms. Kayla?"

"I did," Kayla looks down. "That's actually where we went first. But it seems that Carmilla is claiming that since my apartment was paid for with money I earned at the company, it's the company's property. Not mine."

"She can't do that," Charlie turns to her wife. "Can she?"

A new voice enters the conversation. "No," walking up to them is none other than the puffy-haired Carmine. "She can't. At least not legally."

Velvette stands and rushes to her wife and rests her head over her shoulder and as a response, a set of arms wraps around the Vee.

"I wasn't just going to abandon you, Vee," Clara pulls apart. "I love my mom and sister, but I love you too," she gives her partner a quick peck. "Things are going to be slightly different for a while. Maybe forever."

I understand. At least you're here.

Velvette returns a small kiss.

Clara giggles. "Thanks, Vee," then turns to the Morningstars. "So do you have any rooms for us until we find a place to settle down in?"

Charlie smiles. "You two are welcome to stay for as long as you want. As for Kayla? Your room has always been vacant since you left. Niffty insisted that we give it to no one."

At that, the star eyed demon smiles. "Thank you. Where is my mom anyway?" then suddenly a plate of Hell Nuggets is shoved into her face.

"Right here, Little Star!" the maid with slightly fading colors brightly smiles at her. "I made your favorite!"

Kayla blinks before returning the smile. "Thanks, Mom," and happily accepts the offer. "They always tasted better when you make them."

The Carmine then walks up to them. "Look, Kayla. I can give you some pointers on how you can get what's yours back. But that's about all I can do. My relationship with my family is going to be strained for leaving like I did."

"I understand, Ms. Clara. Family is complicated," she looks down at Niffty.

.oOo.

"I'm not calling to ask about the application," Clara says while finishing unpacking. "It's just that due to some unforeseen circumstances we are in the middle of a move. I wanted to inform you that the given address will be changing…" she then glances at her wife who is just sitting on the bed, listening to the conversation. "No! No, we are not financially unstable. If that were the case, would that effect anything?… I see… Thank you," the Carmine hangs up and takes a seat next to Velvette.

We're in trouble, aren't we?

Velvette looks away.

"It will be okay, Vee," Clara puts a hand on her wife's knee. "We just need to remain hopeful."

What about your family?

"I love that my Mom and sister are back, but I want the whole family to be together. That includes you," she then moves in to kiss the Vee only for her to move away and continues looking away. "Vee?" no answer. "Vee! Look at me," Clara places a hand on Velvette's cheek and gently turns her wife towards her. "Whatever you may think, whatever you feel. Just know that I do not blame you. None of this is your fault," she lifts her hand to show the ring. "I chose to marry you, and I choose to be with you here and now."

Velvette blinks before smiling and kisses her wife.

A knock comes at the door.

"Room service!"

Clara gets up to answer the door and a car is pushed in by two Egg Bois.

"Thank you," Clara takes out some cash. "Here's your tip."

"No thank you!" the Eggs turn away from the offered money. "Money is a scam by world government to control the public."

With that the Egg Bois leave the room causing the couple to look at one another with an uncertain look and shrugs.

The puffy-haired woman pushes the cart over to the bed and removes the top to reveal some pasta. Clara starts off by feeding her wife. "Reminds me of old times, Vee," it was easy for the two to fall back into old habits as after the two finished eating Clara helps her wife bathe before taking a shower herself, and in no time the couple were cuddling in bed.

NOTE: I know it's been a while. I'm sorta back. A lot had been going on. Life, work, life, work, work, and work. I did little updates here and there with some of my other stories. Still trying to get back into the rhythm so I really can't promise how often I can update this one and others. Hopefully you'll see more of this soon.
