by Kattren39

Summary:

After the battle in Hell while leads to Adam's death, Lute finds out she's pregnant and goes on a roller-coaster during her pregnancy.

Chapter 1: Before the Battle

After the Princess of Hell and her treacherous pour excuse of a formal Exorcist Vaggie showed up in Heaven to show her useless Hotel, the Anglice Army has a month to prepare to get rid of the Hotel once and for all to continued the Exterminations to kill all does discussing Demons. Everyone in the Army train hard for this day, for this one will be the biggest Extermination by far. Well, all but one, the Head of the Angelic Army himself, Adam. Lute rolled her eyes seeing Adam pass out on his lawn chair with one of his sex magazines on his face. She pulled it off his face and slap his arm to wake him up.

Adam: " Uh?! What?! Oh, hey Lute. What's up?"

Lute: " You're supposed to be training Sir. We have till the end of the month before we go down to Hell to take care of that Annoying Princess, that Bitch Vaggie and the filthy Demon Scum!"

Adam yawned as he reached out for his drink.

Adam: " Uh huh."

Lute: " Not to mention, we HAVE to make sure that we're strong enough to take them all down now that they found a way to kill us."

Adam: " I'm with ya."

Lute: " And you're just sitting here, reading your dirty magazines and not taking this situation serious like you should be..."

Adam: " That's great, Babe."

Lute glared at Adam, she rolled up his magazine and smack him in the back of his head.

Adam: " OWWW!! What The Hell?!"

Lute: " Can you at least TRY to take this seriously?! We have least than a month to get ready! Were you even listening to me?!"

Adam: " Lute, Babe, relax. We've train for this Shit for a year and we're fine. And how long have those Bitches train for? A month? I think we got this. Especially with you taking the lead as always."

Lute slightly blushed before shaking her head.

Lute: " I still say we should at least prepare for the battle. There's still a chance that they could kill us down there."

Adam: " *scoffs* What's that Bitch going to do? It's just her, that Fucking Bitch Vaggie and their stupid friends against a bunch of us. What they going to do? Hug us and sing us to death? *laughs*"

Lute slightly groan, but her friend did have a point, she and the Angelic Army have been training for a whole year for every Extermination while the Princess is given a month to prepare for them to come to the Hotel.

Lute: " I suppose you have a point, Sir. But you can at least put in some effort in training like the others."

Adam gave Lute a smirk before putting his arms behind his head.

Adam: " Training you say? Well if you need some help with some "training", all you had to do is ask."

Adam winked and clicked his tongue, Lute jolt and turned bright gold. She grabbed Adam's chair and lifted it up, tossing him off of it.

Lute: " NOT THAT KIND OF TRAINING!!!"

Adam: " Owww!! Alright! Alright! Alright!! Damn! You could have just said no, Bitch."

Adam got up to stretched out and brush himself off, he mumbled as he stormed off to "work", but Lute knew he was most likely going to grab something to eat. Lute put her hands on her face, it was still burning up and bright gold. Surely Adam didn't love her, he didn't exactly love the girls he sleeps with, so how was she any different? Besides, Lute looked nothing like most of the girls Adam slept with or in his magazines, so how could he love someone like her? Lute shook her head and went back to training, she had to distract herself from these thoughts. Later that week, Sera and a few other High Rank Angels were getting ready for a meeting. She looked around for a moment and rubbed her eyes before looking over at Lute.

Sera: " Lute, would you go grab Adam for the Meeting? We don't know where he is."

Lute: " *slight sigh* I know where though. Of course, ma'am."

When Lute got to Adam's place, she slammed her fist on the door.

Lute: " Sir! SIR!! Adam! Wake Up!!"

No respond, Lute rubbed her eyes before getting her spare key.

Lute: " Adam, I swear to God if you're asleep."

When Lute opened the door, she was met with a very messy living room. Trash and unwashed clothes were all over, half eaten food was also scatter around. Lute groan seeing the mess.

Lute: " Oh For Christ Sakes!! I know Adam is lazy, but this is ridiculous! I can hardly move around without stepping on something! This place is a pigsty!"

Lute grabbed a trash bag and started to clean Adam's apartment, mumbling under her breath as she toss trash in the bag, put dishes in the sink and picked up some of his clothes. While Lute was busy cleaning the room up, a door open and Adam came out.

Adam: " Lute?! What the Fuck are you doing here?"

Lute: " Clean your junk because you don't have the decently to..."

When Lute turned around, she smacked right into Adam's big, hair, damp chest and gut. Lute stumbled back and her face turned gold seeing completely naked with a towel around his crotch. It turned out the reason why Adam didn't answer the door was because he was in the shower. Lute gulped when Adam looked down at her.

Adam: " Hey, pervert. My eyes are up here."

Lute's face during a deeper gold when Adam said that, she turned around and covered her face as Adam laughed.

Lute: " S-s-s-sir!! You-you're Naked!!"

Adam: " Uh, yeah. I just got out of the shower, stupid. Now what's you doing here cleaning my Shit?"

Lute: " Se-Se-Sera asked me to get you for a Meeting."

Adam: " UGHHHH!! FUUUUUUUUUCCCCK!! Do I have to go?!"

Lute: " I'm afraid so..."

Lute kept looking up with her hand covering her face, trying to hide her lit up face while trying to stay mature.

Lute: " So-so-so can you please put something on-on?! So-so-sorry for intruding!"

Lute turned around and speed walked to the door, Adam just smirk and slammed the door shut, causing Lute to once again run into his chest again. Her feathers bristled seeing Adam in front of her, trying to figure out what to do and before she could do anything, his towel fell off.

Adam: " Leaving already? You just got here."

Lute: " S-S-S-Sir!!"

Adam: " Come on Babe, that Shit can wait. I'm sure they won't care if we're late."

Lute: "..... You're just saying that so we don't go to the Meeting right away."

Adam: " How Did You... *clears throat* Noooo. But since you're here, maybe I can give you a reward."

Lute: " A... re-reward?"

Adam: " Yeah, after all you been working hard and I think you need a little something to unwind."

Adam got closer to Lute, his body pressing against her's. Lute stood still as shivers ran through her body. Her feathers bristled, her face was burning up while her heart started to race and her legs begin to turn into jelly. She hadn't felt like this in a very, very, very long time. She just came to grab Adam for the Meeting but now he was up against her naked offering quite an offer. Adam lean closer with a smile.

Adam: " Do you want me to continued?"

Lute: " I.... I... I guess they wouldn't mind if we're.... a li-little late."

Adam: " See? There you go. Now *gets close to Lute's face* Do you trust me, Tits? I promise I'll make you feel good."

Lute jolt hearing that. She didn't know what to do, she didn't want to go farther, but yet again, she wanted to see where this goes.

Lute: " ... Ye... Yes..."

Adam got closer to Lute's face, their lips were inches away from each other when he scooped her up and tossed her on his bed. Adam was on top of her with a big smile, looking at the small Angel under him.

Adam: " I am going to make you feel SO good. After today, you're going to be wishing for more."

Chapter 2: Dirty Training

Summary:

After being greeted with a surprise, Adam was able to convince Lute to let him help her unwind after how much she's been training for the end of the month.

Adam was over Lute, his hot breath hit her skin, Lute panted as Adam was inches from her face, she close her eyes and lend forward, expecting him to kiss her, but he went down and started to suck on her neck. Lute gasped as Adam gently nipping her neck and suck on it, Lute covered her mouth and squeezed her eyes as she grinds against Adam's leg. Adam open his eyes with a smirk, he stopped sucking on Lute's neck and grabbed her shirt, ripping it off and showing her bra and stomach.

Lute: " What The Hell?!"

Adam: " Well you shouldn't have trust me being gentle with your clothes."

Lute rolled her eyes slightly as Adam slipped her pants off. Lute's heart started to speed up, so did her breathing but this was different from moments before though, she started to shake a little. Adam slid his hand on Lute's stomach and was about to slip it under her bra when she sat up and pulled her legs against her chest.

Lute: " S-STOP!!!"

Adam jolt by Lute's sudden outburst, Lute wrapped her wings around herself and scoot back slightly.

Adam: " What?"

Lute breathing slowly started to slow down, but her eyes looked watery, she looked scared and about to cry, Adam never seen her act like this before.

Adam: " Hey... Are you okay?"

Lute: " S-s-sorry... Sorry..."

Adam scooted closer to Lute, he was being so careful and gentle, Lute didn't even know he could be this gentle.

Adam: " Lute.... Do you want me to continue?"

Lute gulped and stretched her wings out, she took a deep breath and slipped her bra off, showing her breast to Adam.

Adam: " Damn Tits, you been hiding these babies from me?"

Adam cupped Lute's boobs in his hands and he started to massage them. Lute put her hand over her mouth and bit on her fingers as Adam groped her. Small moans came out of Lute as she slid her other hand down to her underwear and rub herself through her wet panties. Adam chuckled as he slid his own hand in her panties to join her rubbing her clit, making her moan louder. Was he always this gentle with the other woman he slept with? Adam then slipped Lute's wet panties off, she was dripping wet and Adam smiled before licking his lips.

Adam: " Heh, nice."

Adam then grabbed Lute's waist and lift her lower end up to his face. He slipped his tongue into her pussy and started to swirl his tongue around. Lute gasp and moaned as Adam eat her out, she arched her back as she covered her mouth. Adam looked up and pulled away.

Adam: " *pants* Don't... I want to hear your voice."

Lute's own breathing picked up slightly and her heart sped up as Adam started to suck and lick her clit and pussy. Lute moaned and her wings slightly flapped a little. In the past, Lute didn't have a good relationship with a past partner, he was abusive and rough, Adam was rough too, but he was also gentle, he was getting her ready and made her feel comfortable first. Lute grabbed Adam's hair and pushed him deeper into her as she released her juices on him. Adam chuckled as he drinks her juices and pulled out, licking his lips.

Adam: " Fuuuuck Babe. You take good. Now."

Adam got up, showing his large throbbing cock to Lute. Her eyes widen and gulp seeing it.

Adam: " Lost of words? I know, it's pretty awesome, and I didn't even put it in yet. Well, get to it, unless you want to raw dog it. Buuuuuuut if you can't handle this much awesome..."

Lute: " Oh Shut Up! I-I can handle it!"

Lute flipped herself over and crawled over to Adam, his cock was throbbing when Lute grabbed it and put it near her face. She gulped seeing how large it was, she knew Adam LOVED to gloat about his member, but now she can see why he loves talking about it. She took a deep breath before putting the tip in her mouth and forcing it down her throat. She gagged slightly as she began to bob her head.

Adam: " Fuuuuck Babe. Your throat feels so good."

Lute forced herself to shove Adam's dick deeper down her throat each time she bobbed her head, it was so big but she wanted more. Adam smirked as he started to thrust his own hips, catching Lute off guard as she began to deep throat him.

Adam: " Shit! Fuck! You're so Sexy."

Lute's thoughts: " Fuck! He's getting bigger! I think he's getting close!"

Lute shut her eyes, expecting Adam to burst right then and there, but he didn't. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back, Lute gasped for air as a long strand of saliva stretched from her mouth and Adam's dick.

Adam: " *chuckles* You think I'm going to give it to you right away? *scoffs* Sorry Babe, it's going to be a while till I reward you. You got to work for it."

Lute: " *gulps* Ye-yes S-S-Sir."

Lute then laid on her back, Adam place his dick in front of Lute's pussy, rubbing his tip on her entrance slightly, causing Lute to bite her lip.

Adam: " Now, you ready to get the Pounding of your life?"

Lute: " Ye-ye-yes!"

Adam: " Hmm? What was that? You want me to do what?"

Lute: " I.. I.. Please Sir! Please put your amazing cock inside me! I NEED It!"

Adam chuckled as he slowly put his tip in, Lute bit her lip as he shimmies his dick inside Lute.

Adam: " You alright, Tits? You think you can handle me?"

Lute: " Yes... Yes, I can handle it..."

Adam: " *chuckles* If you say so, I hope you don't have any plans tomorrow, because I'm going to make it hard for you to move after this."

Adam then slammed into Lute, shoving his whole cock inside her, causing Lute to arch back and stuck her tongue out. Adam chuckled and leaned forward, his face in front of Lute's, they both smiled as Adam started to slowly thrust.

Adam: " Shit... You feel so good inside..."

Lute: " Th-th-thank you, Sir..."

Adam: " I have a name."

Lute: " Ad-Ad-Adam! Oh Fuck!"

Adam chuckled hearing Lute say his name, causing him to speed up a bit. Lute started to grope herself.

Lute: " I'm yours.... All yours!"

Adam: " Damn right you are."

Lute: " I'm Your Ugly Little Slut!"

Adam froze hearing that, his smug look left and was replace with a serious look.

Adam: " Wait, did you just called yourself "Ugly"?"

Lute looked away for a moment, confuse in why Adam all the sudden got offence.

Lute: " Ummmmm... Yes?"

Adam was quiet for a moment before grabbing Lute's shoulders and shook her a bit.

Adam: " WHO THE FUCK CALLED YOU UGLY!?! Cause I'll Beat The Living Shit Out Of Them For Even Thinking That!!"

Lute: " What?! No! No one called me ugly! I... I mean... Just look at me... I look nothing like any of the other girls you sleep with or the ones in your magazines... I'm not thick or have big boobs... I don't even know why you want to do this with me..."

Adam glared at Lute, he then pulled out and flipped on his back and looked away.

Adam: " Hmph. Alright then, guess we're not having sex then."

Lute jolt up hearing that from Adam of all people. She scrambled up and stumbled on her words.

Lute: " Wh-wh-wh-what?! Wh-why?!"

Adam: " I don't know. I guess I don't like liars."

Lute: " Oh That Is Bullshit!! You LITUARLLY Lie ALL The Time!! And I'm NOT Lying!"

Adam: " Still sharing lies, Lute? Tisk, tisk, tisk. How shameful."

Lute's feathers bristled and she pushed Adam a bit, but he didn't budge. He just crossed his arms and looked away. Lute flapped her wings, annoyed with Adam for being petty.

Lute: " ALRIGHT! FINE! I'm NOT Ugly! I'm Pretty! Really Pretty! Happy Now?!"

Adam: " Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, yes."

Adam then pounced on Lute, pinning her down with a large smile on his face.

Adam: " Now let me make you feel beautiful."

Adam shoved his dick deep in Lute again, thrusting in and out slow at first and slowly picking up the speed. Lute moan as Adam's thrusting got faster, her wings slightly flapped as she wrapped her arms around Adam's neck, she then digs her nails into his skin as a smile started to spread across her face.

Adam: " Fuck Babe, your body just feels amazing. It-it's almost like you were made to be impaled on my Dick!"

Lute: " Th-th-thank you... Si-Sir!"

Adam and Lute swapped positions multiple times, Adam was now slamming in and out of Lute, and she was loving every second of it. She just looked up while smiling and her mind started to shut off.

Lute's thoughts: " Oh... God!! Holy Shit!! Now I get why he gloats about his Dick almost all the time! This-this is AMZAING!! AH! My in-insides!! They're squishing against each other!... It-it-it hurts!... But I want MOOOOORRRE!! My-my-my mind... I can't think... It's shutting off!... Ho-how long ha-have we.... we-we been doing this?.... Fuck!... Ad-Adam... Adam! ADAM!! I'M YOUR.... ALL YOURS!!"

Adam then flipped on his back and wrapped his hand around Lute's waist, she was bouncing on him with a large smile as Adam thrust in and out of her, using her like a flesh-light. Lute started to grope herself again and bit her lip. Lute came on Adam at least 5 times by now, her mind was shut off and she could hardly hear anything aside from her and Adam's moan. Lute then felt Adam twitching inside of her, he was finally getting close.

Lute: "... Fu.... Fuc... Fuck! I'm cumming! I'm Cu-Cumming!!"

Adam: " *laughs* Shit! Ge-get ready Lute, cause I'm about to bust a nut... *groans* It-it's going to be a BIG ONE!!"

Adam grip tighten as he slammed into Lute a few more times before he released his load inside of her. Lute and Adam moan loud as Adam filled Lute with his fluids while both flapping their wings hard enough that feathers flew around the room.

Lute's thoughts: " OH... GOD!!! He's Pumping SO MUCH Inside Me!!!... Fuck!! OH FUCK!!! Don't St-stop! DON'T STOP!!!"

Adam laughed as he lifted Lute up, taking her off his dick, Lute was still in a daze, drooling slightly as Adam's fluids dripped out of her opening. Adam then hugged her from behind and gently rubbed her chin and brushed her hair.

Adam: " F-Fuck Babe... *pants* That was awesome... Probably one of the best orgasms I've had *pants*.... You okay, Tits? How do you feel after being Fucked by the Original Dick?"

Lute looked behind and smiled as she put her hand on Adam's face.

Lute panting: " G-G-G-Gor... Gorgeous!"

Adam chuckled, the answer he was looking for as he gently kissed her face and neck.

Adam: " You're God Damn right."

Lute then fell to the side and laid on the bed, arms spread out, panting as Adam stretched out.

Adam: " *groans* Alright. Let's get this Meeting Shit over with."

Adam then got up to dig around his laundry for somewhat decent clothes that weren't that dirty or reek. Lute just stared at the celling, her daze was slowly faithing, and she was able to hear a bit clearer. Adam looked over at Lute.

Adam: " You can hang here till I get back or whenever you're able to get up and out of Laa-Laa Land, which probably wouldn't happen till tomorrow. Either way, there's leftovers in the fridge and sorry about your clothes, you can use my clothes as long as you give them back."

Adam put on his mask as Lute slowly pulled herself up, but fell back on her back. She was able to say something loud enough for Adam to hear her.

Lute: " Do...... Do..... Again?...."

Adam: " *laughs* Whenever you're up for some more "special training", I'm up for it. Oh, and Lute. Don't you EVER call yourself ugly again. Welp, see ya. *clicks tongue*"

When Adam opened the door, Lute mumbled to herself a bit, still in a slight daze and she thought she didn't say it out loud but Adam was able to hear her.

Lute: ".... Love... You... Sir... Adam..."

Adam looked back, it looked like he wanted to say something, but he sighed and shook his head before leaving to the Meeting and letting Lute rest after their intense "training session".

Chapter 3: I Loved Him

Summary:

Before the battle in Hell, Lute and Adam spend the last day in Heaven together before everything falls apart during their time in Hell.

Throughout the month, Lute and Adam would spend nights with each other, enjoying themselves during these nights. Lute expected that Adam would be rough, but he would take it her speed and picked up the pace when Lute craved for more. Adam was right after their first night together, it was addicting, and Lute can see why he would always gloat about his dick to her after the other nights he spent with all those other women and why their moans were heard by almost everyone in Heaven. Every time they finish, Adam would let Lute sleep in his bed while Adam leaves for a while, but Lute would always turn away or cover her mouth when she mutters that she loves Adam, but Adam doesn't really know how to react. Lute would usually go quiet after those nights, embarrassed that she let herself become vulnerable in those moments and not knowing if Adam felt the same, she didn't know why she always say it at end of their "training sessions". Lute sat on the roof of a building, zoning out while staring over Heaven. Tomorrow was the day. Tomorrow was the day that the Angelic Army took on the Princess and her Hotel and put an end of her foolishness. As Lute got lost in her thoughts, someone came from behind, Lute right away noticed them, knowing who it was and let him try to catch her by surprise. Adam struggled to held back his snickers as he covered Lute's eyes.

Lute: " Hello Sir."

Adam: " Aw man, what gave it away?"

Lute: " You're steps are heavy, I heard you chuckling to yourself and your hands smell like ribs, fries and burgers."

Adam scoffed as he took his hands off of Lute and jumped next to Lute, making the ledge they were sitting on slightly shook.

Adam: " So, what's ya doing up here?"

Lute shrugged.

Lute: " Thinking."

Adam: " About what? You thinking about little old me? Aww."

Lute scoffed as she punched Adam's arm, causing the two to laugh.

Lute: " No. Just... Thinking about Hell, I guess. That Princess may be a fool, but she is determined, and would most likely hang onto this dream of her's till she takes her last breathes. It's ridiculous and pointless to hang onto hope on those Sinsful poor excuse of a Soul could actually change.... Do... You don't think it's actually possible for them to get up here... Do you?"

Adam was quiet for a moment, thinking for a minute and smiled at Lute.

Adam: " No Fucking clue, Babe."

Lute: " What about them winning? Being able to survive and rebuild after we attack?"

Adam: " What?! No Fucking Way!! *laughs* I have some of the baddest bunch of Bitches there is on our side. One of them being you. And you crazy Bitches are able to kill thousands of those Fuckers each year, so we can totally beat their Asses tomorrow!"

Adam slapped Lute's back as he laughed, Lute couldn't help but laugh along with Adam before turning her head and putting her hand on her face to hide the blush on her face. Adam then scratched his stomach before nudging Lute.

Adam: " You want to get something to eat? It'll be like our last burger at that good burger place we love before we go down there and beat those Fuckers to a pulp."

Lute: " Like a date?"

Adam: " *scoffs* No!"

Lute: " Then I love to."

Adam smiled as he pulled Lute with him to one of their favorite fast-food restaurants. Adam was scarfing almost everything down while Lute glance you to him for a minute and back down. She wanted to say something, but didn't really know how to say it, so she just sat there and drink her soda. Later, Adam brought Lute to his apartment, but instead of tearing each other clothes off like the past times, they just sat on his bed as Adam got one of his guitars.

Adam: " I wrote a new song. Wanna hear it?"

Lute: " ... Sure."

Adam started to play his guitar, Lute sway along with the music, she looked down when she felt her heart speed up. She bit her lip before taking a deep breath.

Lute: " Sir... Do you... Like me?"

Adam: " *scoffs* What kind of question is that? Of course I do. You're my best friend, stupid."

Lute: " No... I meant... more than a friend..."

Adam: ".... As a Fuck-Buddy? Yeah, I guess."

Lute: " Wh-NO! I mean... *groans* Never mind. It's stupid. Just keep playing, it's sounds nice."

Adam raised an eyebrow slightly but went back to playing, Lute looked away and brought her legs to her chest, embarrass for asking a foolish question. Of course the moron didn't see her more as a friend or as another girl he sleeps with. She was a bit heartbroken, Lute really did care about Adam a lot, she loves him, but she didn't fully understand her feelings or love after the past she had. Adam right away noticed that something changed in Lute, he scooted closer and wrapped his wing around her. Lute's feathers bristled a bit and blushed deeply, she leans on Adam's side as he spends the rest of the night play her a song, it was most likely a random song he wrote, but Lute likes to think he made it and is only playing it for her. When dawn broke, Adam and Lute got all the Exorcists together, almost everyone else in Heaven were saying their goodbyes and wished them luck. Adam's kids were there too to say goodbye to their father, but he hardly noticed them. He then opened the Portal after pumping the Angelic Army up, Lute had a big smile on her face, ready to finish what she started 3 years ago when she ripped that Bitch Vaggie's eye out. Ready to spill blood and kill as many Demons as she can with Adam and the Army, but what Lute nor did anyone else know how this battle will end. Hours passed, handfuls of Sinners and Exorcists lay dead on the ground in a pool of their own blood, but the battle still went on. Lute found Vaggie and was able to take down the Hell-Dragon she was on, crashing into the Hotel, Lute shook her head and glared at Vaggie laying on the ground.

Lute: " Before I take your life, I'm going to tear that other eye of your out of your face!"

Vaggie: " Try it Bitch!"

Lute and the Traitor charged at each other, both getting hits in the other, but Lute was able to pin her down, just like she did when she fought her for the Lieutenant position many years ago, she then grabbed her spear and perched through Vaggie's hand. Lute laughed slightly, she was going to finish what she and Adam should have done 3 years ago, to kill Vaggie, but she grabbed the spear, flipped over to kick Lute off and knocking part of the Hotel down, causing the rubble to fall on Lute. Lute looked around for a moment and tried to get back up, but realized she was stuck, she looked at her left side and saw her left arm was crushed by the rubble. She tried pulling her arm, but it was pinned under everything, she was stuck, Lute growled, but she accepted that this might be the end of her and glared at Vaggie.

Lute: " Do it then. Correct Your Mistake!"

Vaggie just glared at Lute, she held her spear, it looked like she was going to stab Lute but she didn't, she put it near her neck, but didn't kill her.

Vaggie: " Seriously, your pathetic. Rather take death than facing the fact that you failed and being shown mercy? No, live. Live knowing that you ONLY did because I let you. A failure."

Lute was furious hearing that, it was already bad enough to be beaten by a Fallen Angel but to also be shown mercy when she would have killed Vaggie in a heartbeat?! How could she damage her Pride like that?! She would take death any day than this. Lute punched the floor and called out to Vaggie.

Lute: " You Fucking Pussy!! Kill Me!! COME ON!! Come On You Fucking Coward!!"

Vaggie stopped and glared down at Lute.

Vaggie: " No. If I kill you, then I would be no better than you or the others."

Vaggie gasped and whipped her head up when she heard her girlfriend scream, Lute looked at her arm, growling as she put her right hand on the rubble and started to pull back. Her wings flapped hard to help her pull herself free, bones snapped, muscle and skin tear as she pulled, but Lute didn't care. She scream as she yanked her arm hard, she HAD to get back into the battle, she HAD to kill that Bitch, she HAD to get back to be by Adam's side as she always does. With one last pull, Lute was able to rip her left arm off and get free, pain shot through her body, but Lute could care less, she ripped part of her uniform and quickly tied a torniquet around what was left of her left arm. Lute was now running on full adrenaline and shot herself through the air, being able to pounce on Vaggie before she could help the Princess, Adam was about to kill her when one of the first Fallen Angels and the King of Hell himself showed up, Lucifer. He was able to knock Adam off of his daughter and fought the First Man in the air before the whole Hotel fell, but both Lucifer and Charlie were able to throw Adam to the ground. Lucifer pin him down and started to punch him over and over again, but before he could finish him, his daughter stopped him. Adam was able to pull himself up and yelled at the group of Hazbins, but while he had his back turned, it happened. Adam was stabbed in the back by the roach that was the maid of the Hotel, she continued to stab him a few times after he fell. Lute looked over and was horrified to see her friend on the ground in a pool of his own blood.

Lute: " NNNNOOOOO!!!"

Lute rushed to Adam's side, flipping him over and shook him a bit, begging him to keep his eyes open.

Lute: " Sir! SIR!! Stay With Me, Sir!!"

Adam just looked at Lute and with the last amount of his strength, he smiled before passing away in Lute's arm.

Lute: " ADAM!!!"

Charlie: " It's over!"

Lucifer: " Take your little friends, AND GO HOME!!! Please."

Lute looked down at Adam's body, tears pour down her face as she grabbed his Halo and called out to what was left of the Exorcist Army.

Lute: " Retreat! All Exorcists Fall Back!!"

All of the Exorcists looked at each other for a moment, they did what they were told and flew back to the Portal, some helped Lute with carrying Adam's body back to Heaven. Lute gripped on Adam's Halo tightly, she had to force herself from looking behind herself, she couldn't look at Adam's body again, it hurt so much. When everyone got back to Heaven and the Portal closed, Archangels and other Higher up Angels were horrified to see the state the Exorcists were in. All were talking all at once, Lute tone all of them out and shove through the large crowd before God himself showed up, just as surprise as the others seeing what was in front of him. His shock face quickly turned into enraged expression.

God: " What Happened?!"

The Exorcists looked at each other before God barked his question again.

God: " WHAT HAPPENED!?! LUTE, ADAM!! YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THIS MESS..."
God froze seeing Lute missing one of her arms with Adam's Halo in the other. She didn't look at him, she just glared at the ground as other Exorcists talked over each other. God spread his wings out, making everyone go silent.

God: " SILENCE!! I want you all to get patch up, and once you do, you all come to my courtroom and tell me Why You Are ALL Covered With Blood Or Missing A Limb And Tell Me What That Fat Idiot Told You To Do!! RIGHT NOW!!"

Everyone scrambled away after God yelled at them, all but Lute, she stay stilled for a while, she looked up at God before following what remained of the Angelic Army. She noticed Abel, his siblings and mother on the side, glaring at them before whipping her head to look forward again, she didn't need to tell them anything, just by her expression and behavior, they knew Adam was dead.

Chapter 4: Newcomer

Summary:

After losing her best friend and arm, Lute is just a mess and is mad at everyone who tries to comfort her. But when everyone tries to figure out what to do next, something unexpected happens and Lute isn't happy one bit realizing who cause everyone to change the subject of Adam's death.

Hours passed, Lute and the remaining Exorcist of the Angelic Army got their wounds treated, but Lute remain silent and just stared at the ground, still gripping onto Adam's Halo. Every Archangel, Adam's family, most of God's children and other High Ranked Angels were all in the courtroom, screaming over each other as Lute sat in Adam's old chair in silence.

An Archangel: " How Could This Happened?!"

Another Archangel: " What Gave Adam The Right To Go Down To Hell?! Why Would He Do This?!"

Remiel: " Because The Fat-Ass Decided To Go With His Stupid Plan Than Actually Think With His One Brain Cell!! He Thought It Was A Good Idea To Move Up The Extermination!!"

A High Ranked Angel: " Wait... What?! What Do You Mean Extermination?! Your Holiness, what is one of your children on about?!"

Remiel realized what she said and covered her mouth, forgetting that not all Angels in the Council knew about the Exterminations.

An Archangel: " You Knew About This?! You Just Let The Angelic Army Go To Hell To Kill Sinners?!"

Another High Ranked Angel: " I mean I know they did horrible things in the past, but KILL them?!"

Gabirel: " Uh yeah, we do it to keep Sinners from coming up here to attack. And Luci agreed with it centuries ago."

An Archangel: " Luci... You Mean You Made A Deal With The Morningstar?!!"

Most of the room either covered their mouth, yelped and talked at once.

Eve: " Everyone! Please! Calm Yourselves!"

An High Rank Angel: " Calm Down?! You Expect Us To Stay Calm After Finding Out About You Killing Human Souls?!"

Gabriel: " Well when you put it that way..."

One of God's Children: " Wait, so what do we do now? Do we keep doing the Exterminations?"

Raphael: " What about the Bind Deal?"

An Archangel: " Bind Deal? What Bind Deal?"

Another Sibling: " Dad made a Bind Deal with Lucifer centuries ago that we STOP the Exterminations when a Sinner gets Redeemed."

Gabirel: " Which is Bullshit. I say we go on with the Exterminations since Luci and Charlie still haven't gotten any Sinners up here."

Remiel: " There's no changing them. So what makes them think something like that happen?"

God clenched his teeth and slammed his fist on his table.

God: " THAT'S ENOUGH!!!"

Everyone jumped and fell silent, Lute finally looked up, the first during this whole Meeting.

God: " For The Love Of Me, You Are All Giving Me A Headache!! It's Not My Fault That Adam Pulled This Stunt Off!"

Gabriel: " Exactly. The Fat-Ass own Damn fault and dug his own grave by going through with moving up the Extermination without talking to anyone else about it."

One of Adam's daughters, Aclima, scoffed.

Aclima: " Really? Because I thought you and your sister ALSO thought about it..."

Gabriel and Remiel jolt and tried to shush Adam's eldest daughter. God rubbed his eyes before Michael, Sera and Emily barged in the room out of breath, causing everyone to whip their heads around, even Lute looked over.

Michael: " Da-da-dad! Dad! We have to show you some..."

God: " Not now, we're busy."

Sera: " But father, this is serious..."

God: " I SAID NOT NOW!!!"

Emily giggled behind Michael and Sera before grabbing the thing that Michael and Sera what to show the Council.

Emily: " But grandpa, something amazing and unbelieve happened! Look! Look!"

As Emily said that, she shoved past Michael and Sera, Sera tried to block Emily with her wings, but Emily just pushed them out of the way as she got through while holding another Angel's hand no one have seem, because he was no Angel at all. He was a Snake with a living hat and he was a formal Sinner who was known as Sir Pentious, a Demon that Adam killed before he died himself. Lute jumped out of her chair and glared at the serpent after recognizing him. Emily and Michael were smiling while Sera had a stun look. Emily gently nudged him and shifted her head slightly, Sir Pentious rubbed his arm and gave a small wave.

Sir Pentious: " He-he-hello..."

Everyone looked at each other and talked at one another, not knowing why Emily was so excited about this one Angel.

God: " Emily, who is this? And what makes him so important to interrupt this?"

Michael crossed his arms with a smug look.

Michael: " Because he's not a Winner. He materialized in front of me, Sera and Emily, and we all know that Winners show up at the Gates after their death, but he didn't. Which means Lucifer and Charlie were right! Sinners CAN be Redeemed!"

Everyone jaws dropped hearing that, they couldn't believe what they heard and seeing in front of them. Some of them even got out of their seats and went up to Sir Pentious, asking questions over each other.

Sir Pentious: " Wa-wait... Wait! Uhh... Uhhh.. One at a time."

Emily and Michael put themselves in front of Sir Pentious, keeping them from overwhelming the new arrival. God was quiet, he couldn't believe it, both his son and other granddaughter were right, they did it, they Redeemed a Sinner. God couldn't help but made a slight chuckle, he hated to admit it, but he was a bit proud of his son and granddaughter. Lute, Gabriel and Remiel couldn't believe it, but they weren't happy. Lute was the first one who snapped and slammed her hand on the table.

Lute: " BULLSHIT!!! I Refuse To Believe That, That A Filthy, Poor Excuse Of Flesh And Bones Manage To Show Up After Adam Killed Him!!"

Gabriel: " There's no Fucking way that he was allowed in! Peter! Did you let him in?!"

Everyone looked back at Saint Peter, his eyes darted for a moment and gulped.

Saint Peter: " I SWEAR to God that I didn't let him in! I tell the truth your Holiness."

Abel: " Yeah, and besides, he was with us the whole time."

Remiel: " Ooooooh, so your saying he DID forced his way in."

Abel: " Wh-what?! No!"

God: " Quiet. Quiet! GABRIEL AND REMIEL!! SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!!"

Everyone froze and went quiet, Gabriel and Remiel sat down shortly after God snapped at them. He then looked over at Sir Pentious.

God: " You! How did you get here? Did you really forced yourself here?!"

Sir Pentious: " I.... I uhhh... I do-do-don't know... I ssssswear... I honesssstly don't even know how I'm not dead..."

God snarled before Eve got up and another Angel who was just as strong as God himself stood up, the larger Angel put her hand on God's arm and slightly glared at him but she also had a calm look.

The Angel: " Calm yourself, Heavenly Grace."

Eve: " Is that anyway to talk to a new Soul?"

God groan slightly, but let the two go up to the formal Sinner. Sera, Michael and Emily stepped aside for them to go up to Sir Pentious, he gulped and was slightly shaking.

Eve: " There's no need to be scared, my dear. We won't let anyone hurt you."

The Angel: " Yes. My brother-in-law forgets how short his temper is at times and manners. But know that you are in good hands now, my child."

Sir Pentious: " Oh... th-th-thank you.... Who are you..."

Eve: " *chuckles* I'm Mother Nature, but you might know me as my other name, I am Eve."

Sir Pentious's eyes widen slightly, the other Angel placed her hands on his face with a warm smile.

The Angel: " I am known as the Speaker of God, but you can call me Lady Shekinah."

Sir Pentious started to calm down as the two helped comfort him, but as the snake was talking, Lute clenched her teeth and memories flooded her mind. How could this Sinner still be alive?! She saw Adam kill him, now he was in Heaven? For what?! This couldn't be happening, there has to be some kind of mistake. No Sinner EVER made it to Heaven. Lute snapped out of it after hear some applause and a few talking over. It turned out Lute was zone out for a while without even noticing and it seems that everyone accepted Sir Pentious into Heaven. Lute clenched her teeth.

Lute: " NO!! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT SOME SLIMY COWARDLY FUCKER MANAGE TO GET INTO HEAVEN!!! What Is Wrong With All Of You?! Adam Is Dead And Instead Of Dealing With It, You Choose To Toss It Aside For This Filth?!"

Sir Pentious muttering: " I'm not that slimy."

Lute then looked over at God, tears starting to form in her eyes.

Lute: " Your Majesty, I cannot just sit here and hold my tongue when I've seen what Demons are capable of! I've made an oath to protect Heaven from them even if that means giving up my own life for it, and you're just going to allow him to stay?!"

Sera then put herself between her father and Lute, glaring down at her.

Sera: " Lute!! Do Not Speak To Our Heavenly Grace Like That! You Have No Right To Do So!"

Lute: " No right? NO RIGHT!?! I have ALL the right to let out my anger!! Adam Is Dead! And Instead Of Doing Something About It, You're Just Going To Drop It For THAT!?!"

Emily: " Lute, knock it off!! I know that you're hurt, but this changes things! This show that Charlie was right, that Redemption is Possible, and we can stop the Extermina..."

Lute glared over at the young Seraphim, digging her nails into the table and leaving some scratch marks.

Lute: " Don't. Eve. Finish. That. Fucking Sentence!!"

God: " That Is Enough, Lute!!! You Have No Right To Speak To Her Like That And I Don't Care If You're Upset About What Happened In Hell Because We Are DONE Discussing About It For Now!! *sighs* I think you shared enough of your opinions for today. Just.... Just go home and rest...."

Lute was surprised to hear that, she snarled before punching the table one last time and getting up. She shoved Sir Pentious out of her way and looked back at everyone after opening the door.

Lute: " You can all go Fuck yourselves."

Most of the room covered their mouths and gasped hearing Lute stay that to God, he just snarled and rolled his eyes. Eve and Shekinah looked at each other with worried looks.

Sir Pentious: " Isss... Isss sssshe going to be okay?.... I hope I didn't offend her that much..."

Eve: " Just give her some time, hon. She's grieving right now."

Shekinah: " Yes. It is best if we all give her the space she needs. It's not easy to lose someone you deeply care about. Let her come back to us on her own time."

Chapter 5: He's Gone

Summary:

After Sir Pentious showed up in Heaven, Lute has a break down after everyone seem to move on from Adam's death.

A few days passed, Lute's home was a mess, almost everything was destroyed, she let out her anger by punching and throwing everything around. Lute was now laying in her bed, she hadn't eaten in a few days or left her place, she just lay in bed staring at her phone with pictures and videos of her and Adam. She missed the days where Adam would drag her around Heaven and do whatever he wanted to do that day instead of training or any other duty. Lute pulled herself out of bed today and decided to take a bath, she unwrapped what was left of her left arm, examining it and gently touched it. She pulled away and slightly clenched her teeth when the almost fully heal wound let out a slight sting, Lute looked at herself in the mirror, she looked horrible, Lute just sighed as she undressed herself. Lute brushed her hair back as she looked up at the celling, she was tired and her heart ached, she couldn't believe this happened. She can't believe Adam is gone and that a cowardly Sinner found his way in Heaven, how could everyone be fine with this? How could everyone just move on like that? It wasn't fair. Lute snarled before slamming her fist down, splashing water in her face. Lute rubbed her face before brushing one of her boobs when she brought her arm down. Lute jolt and slightly blushed, she looked around for a moment before putting her hand on her boob, groping herself with her remaining hand, she bit her lip and lost herself for a moment.

Lute: " No! No! NO! What is wrong with me?!"

After drying herself off, Lute tossed herself back in bed, she didn't bother putting clothes on, it was just her so why should she go through the effort. Lute stared off into space again, why did Adam have to die? What was wrong with her? She felt.... Empty. Lute buries her face in her pillow and started to cry, she slammed her fist over and over again on her bed, Damnit, how she misses Adam. She missed his voice, she missed him playing his guitar, she missed him joking around and she missed his touch... Lute shook her head thinking about that, surprise to even think such a thing. How could her body react like this? She just lost her best friend who she loved and she was getting horny. Lute flipped over and rubbed her face, she then looked over at a drawer near her bed.

Lute: ".... Fuck it!"

Lute opened one of the drawers and pulled out a dildo Adam gave her as a joke, Lute couldn't believe she was doing this, why was her body making her do this? Lute strapped the sex toy on one of her pillows and hovered over it.

Lute: " I can't believe I'm doing this... Stupid Adam making me feel these feelings!"

Lute looked down, took a deep breath and slammed herself on the sex toy. Lute let out a yelp as she grinded on her pillow slightly, she bit her lip as she started to bounce on it. She slid her hand up her stomach to her boobs to grope herself again, she kept forgetting that she had one arm left, but she still groped one of her boobs with her remaining hand. Lute began to moan, trying to trick herself and think she was having sex with Adam again, she lean forward as she slammed herself on the dildo, sliding her hand down to rub her clit and rub herself, moaning and biting her pillow.

Lute: " Th-th-this is.... Perverted! Wh-what is wrong with me?! Adam is dead and I'm... I'm... I'm doing this?! Ahhh! But it feels SOOO good!! *moans* Fuck... Fuck!!! Adam! Adam! I Fucking Miss You!!"

Lute was now going as an inhuman speed on her sex toy and ended up reaching her climax and released herself on it. Lute flipped over and caught her breath, but punched her bed again.

Lute: " UGH!! It's Not The Same!! Fuck!! *gets teary eyed* Why'd you have to die, Adam?!"

Lute tossed her sex toy across her room and curled up under her blankets. Later, Lute pulled herself out of bed and put on some clothes, she stayed in her room and faced away from the door, someone then knocked on the door. Lute slightly jolt, no one had her key except for Adam, did someone stole it or broke in? Lute looked around and reached out for her sword when he heard his voice, for a second she thought it was Adam.

The voice: " Lute?"

Lute snarled realizing that it wasn't Adam's voice at all, it was Abel's. How did that annoying coward got in? Lute pulled her blankets up, ignoring Adam's son.

Abel: " Lute, I just came to check on you. We-we haven't seen you for almost a week now and I just wanted to check on you. My-my mom made some food... May I come in?"

Lute muffled: " Go Away!"

Abel was quiet for a second, he slowly opened the door and put the food down, he was about to go up to Lute, Lute slightly shifted in her bed.

Lute slightly muffled: " Get Out!"

Abel rubbed his hands slightly, he reached out slightly, but pulled back when Lute pulled her blankets down and glared at Abel.

Abel: " I... I know you must be going through a lot... And yo-you're still healing, we all are after what happened..."

Lute: " Just tell me what you want so you can leave faster."

Abel: " I just want to let you know that we're here if you want to talk. You don't have to do this alone."

Lute didn't say anything, Abel tried to get closer, but Lute stopped him.

Lute: " DON'T! I don't want you to give me pity."

Abel: " I'm not. I just came to give you food and check on you. I also..."

Lute: " Well I'm Fine! Go be a pain to someone else."

Abel didn't move, he was holding something, he opened his mouth and Lute glared at him.

Lute: " Get out. Get Out!! Adam is gone! Adam's Gone!! Your Father Is Gone!! He's DEAD!! AND HE'S NEVER COMING BACK!!! GET OUT!!"

As Lute screamed at Abel, she got out of bed and throw whatever was near her at Abel. He covered himself with his wings and jumped out of the way before getting hit by whatever Lute was throwing at him. When she stopped, Lute began to breath heavy, tears ran down her face as she fell to her knees.

Lute: " Ge-get out.... Just get out..."

Abel sat in front of Lute when she bends over and cried, he then slides something in front of her, Lute looked up to see a tape in front of her. Abel then handed her a note.

Abel: " Sera told me and my siblings to go through our dad's stuff. I found this tape with this note and I think my dad was planning on giving it to you. It's a bit crumpled up and have chicken scratch on it, but I think you might understand it since you know and been around my dad almost all the time."

Lute took the tape and note, she was able to read Adam's writing and it was him confessing his feelings or at least trying to.

Adam's Note: " Dear Tits... *scribbled out* Dear Danger Tits... *half erased* To one of the biggest, baddest Bitches I know. You know I suck at this lovey-dovey Shit, but I want you to know I meant everything I say after we Fuck. You aren't ugly, and if you or anyone say something, I would beat the Shit out of them. You're stronger than they think, guess that's why I like you, you're able to punch anyone who knocks you down twice as hard, which is awesome. Plus, you also have good taste in music, so I made this for ya..."

The rest of the not was all scratched up or half erased but lute smiled reading it. She then looked at the tape and saw a label on it that said "Lute's Favs".

Abel: " My dad may not have been a good dad.... Or a good person in total, but it really did seem like he cared a lot about you and I'm really sorry that he's gone. But if you want to talk, I'm willing to listen..."

As Abel said that, Lute smiled slightly faithed and she covered her mouth, Abel was about to say something when Lute threw up, causing Abel to jump back.

Abel: " Lute?!?"

Lute coughed and was just as surprised as Abel.

Abel: " Lute! Are you okay?!"

Lute got up and tried to say something when she got dizzy and fell over, Abel sprung up and caught Lute before she fell to the ground, freaking out that something was wrong with Lute, so he helped her out of her apartment to get her to the med wing to get help.

Chapter 6: Surprise

Summary:

After Abel brought Lute to Eve to make sure she's alright, the very first mother notices Lute's behavior and her suspicions were correct.

Lute sat on an exam table as Eve looked her over, making sure Lute's wounds didn't open up when she passed out. She also give her a bucket in case she felt sick again.

Eve: " Well the good news is that it doesn't seem like your arm wound opened, which is good. Abel was able to catch you before you hit the ground, but you really should get out more. Everyone is worry about you Lute."

Lute looked at the ground and didn't say anything.

Eve: " I also went over with Sera and a few others about your prosthetic, you should get it at the end of the week. And you won't be able to use it right away since your body would have to get used to it."

Lute cracked a smile, relieved that she won't have to wait for a long time for her new arm. Lute slightly covered her mouth, Eve noticed and picked up Lute's bucket.

Eve: " You okay? You need to throw up?"

Lute: " N-no, I'm fine... *swallows* I'm fine... I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm tired and my body hurts, and I don't even know why I feel sick. I never been sick before, it doesn't make scene. I watch my diet, stay hydrated, even when I work out, I never felt bad."

Eve nodded her head as Lute described her symptoms.

Eve: " Is this the first time you passed out or have you fell unconscious in the past?"

Lute: " I just told you, I never did or felt this before!"

Eve: " I'm sorry Lute, I just want to figure out why you're not doing well. You don't have to get snappy."

Lute: " *sighs* Sorry... I'm sorry... Just a lot of Shit been happening and I can't think that straight. Maybe it's all the stress or me still dealing with these feelings. I just don't know what to do."

Eve: " It's alright. And I understand, a lot of us are still healing from what happened in Hell and getting used to Pentious. What you're feeling is normal during grief, and you always have people who are willing to help, but only if you ask for it."

Lute cracked a tiny smile, Eve then looked Lute over for a moment, something was different about her.

Eve: " Lute, could you stand up for me? I need to check a few things."

Lute raised an eyebrow slightly, but she jumped off the table to let Eve look her over. Lute felt a bit dizzy and she had to lean against the table and flapped her wings a bit before falling over.

Eve: " You alright?"

Lute: " Ye-yeah. My legs still feel like jelly from passing out earlier, but I'm fine."

Eve gently move Lute around a bit to examine her body, when she got to her stomach, Lute slightly jolt, causing Eve to pull back slightly. Eve went back to examining Lute stomach again and thought of something.

Eve: " Lute, have your body been sore lately?"

Lute: " I mean, a bit but I didn't really think much of it. Why?"

Eve didn't really answer, she just poked Lute a bit more before asking more personal questions.

Eve: " Have you're breast been sore lately?"

Lute jolt hearing that and slightly covered herself with her wings.

Lute: " Excuse me?!"

Eve: " Has your breast been sore lately? Yes or no? Or been having heartburn, felt hot or craved for strange food? What about your last cycle? When was your last Period?"

Lute: " Why The Hell Are You Asking Me This?! What does any of that have to do with me passing out, out of nowhere?!"

Eve: " I need to make sure of something. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, but I have to ask this to you."

Lute rolled her eyes and headed to the door.

Lute: " This was a mistake, the only reason I'm here is because Abel brought me here since I fell into his arms and wanted to make sure I wasn't going to die in them."

Lute brushed her feathers back a bit, trying to calm herself down as she stormed out and went back home. After getting through the door, Lute slammed it, which caught her off guard slightly, she didn't realize she was still upset she was. Lute just shook her head and sat down, rubbing her head slightly, she tried to think of something else when she felt sick again, causing her to spring up and run to the bathroom to throw up. Lute held her stomach as she slightly curled up on the floor.

Lute: " What is wrong with me?! I Can't Be Sick!! I NEVER Been Sick!! Something HAS To Be Wrong!!"

Lute pulled herself up to drink some water, nearly gagging a bit. She then thought about it, she thought about some of the questions Eve asked and how long she examined Lute's stomach. Was she.... No, she couldn't be. But what else could be causing this? But Lute knew one thing, she HAD to make sure that she isn't what Eve was suggesting she was. Lute then put on thick clothes, found some sunglasses and put on a hat before leaving to go to a store, she wanted to make sure that no one recognized her. Her leg slightly bounced as she waited her turn to check out, and the moment she purchased it, she rushed back home. After almost an hour, Lute waited for results from the thing she bought. She was shaking slightly, and it felt like time stopped while waiting. What was this? Fear? No, it couldn't. Lute never been scared, something MUST be wrong with her. Lute then looked over at the thing she bought and took a double take.

Lute: " Ssssshhhit!!"

There was no way this was real, this has to be a dream, Lute splashed her face with water and looked again, it showed the same result as before. A positive pregnancy test. Lute slinked to the floor, she brushed her fingers through her hair, she couldn't believe it. How could she be pregnant? Winners can't get pregnant, only Heaven-Born can. Both she and Adam are Winners, so how could he get Lute pregnant. Lute rubbed her face before getting back up and took her shirt off to get a look at herself. She turned and looked at the mirror, realizing a few things she didn't noticed right away. Her chest slightly got bigger, she also has a small bump for her stomach despite not eating much for a few days, she gently rubbed her stomach, similar to how Eve was doing when she was examining her. She then felt it, a slight heartbeat that wasn't her own. Lute rubbed her face before putting her shirt back on, she then grabbed the test and slowly made her way back to the medical wing. She kept her head down and bit her lip as she made her way over, trying her best not to cry in public, but a few tears fell from her face. When she got back to the room she was in earlier, Lute found Eve with her kids, Abel, Seth, Aclima and Azura. Lute tired to wave Eve over, but Azura noticed her.

Azura: " Hi Lute."

Everyone looked over at Lute, she was quiet and looked at the ground as she walked in.

Abel: " Are you feeling any better, Lute? I was going to ask earlier but you were already gone when I got here."

Eve right away noticed that Lute was upset.

Eve: " Lute? Is everything alright? Do you want to sit down?"

Lute looked up, she bit her lip slightly and nodded.

Seth: " You look like Shit."

Lute: ".... I feel like Shit..."

Eve glared at Seth, causing them to rub their arm and looked away.

Eve: " Lute, what's wrong? It's my job to help people but I can't help if I don't know what's wrong."

Lute sighed as she sat down, she slowly gave Eve the pregnancy test, correcting Eve's suspicions were true while catching Abel and his siblings off guard. Lute couldn't hold back her emotions any more, she pressed her hand on her face and started to cry.

Lute: " I don't know what to do."

Chapter 7: Expecting

Summary:

After finding out she's pregnant, Lute is really taking this big news well and doesn't really know what to do.

Around an hour passed, Lute sat on the exam table again, she wrapped her remaining arm around her stomach and just stare at the ground. Abel, Seth, Aclima and Azura were a bit awkward, neither one knew what to say, they didn't say much but they did try to comfort Lute. Seth got Lute some water, Aclima tried to get her to eat, Azura brushed Lute's wings for a bit and Abel tried to talk to her, but had some trouble finding the words.

Abel: ".... So uh.... Did you always liked dad?"

Lute glance up at Abel, he looked away and slightly covered his face. Aclima elbowed Abel slightly.

Abel's thoughts: " Uuuuuuuuuuhhhhh! This is so awkward!"

Eve then came back and looked at Lute, she was clearly uncomfortable and wanted to be alone.

Eve: " Kids, give space."

Abel and his siblings got up, apologizing a bit for making Lute uncomfortable.

Eve: " Could you all give us a moment? I would like to talk to Lute in private and I think she would like a small break."

Abel/Seth/Aclima/Azura: " Oh! Ye-yeah, we can do that./ Sure./ Yes mom."

Abel: " Le-let us know if we can do anything."

Eve smiled and nodded, after her kids left, Lute finally looked up after the hour she's been there and spoke.

Lute: " .... Well?"

Eve: " Well what?"

Lute: " Aren't you going to yell at me or say anything about this?! Doesn't It Bother You That Me And Adam..... You know...."

Eve: " Why would I be bothered?"

Lute: " Because He's Your.... Was Your Husband! He's The Father Of Your Children!!"

Eve: " Lute, you do realized that Adam slept with nearly every girl here, right? Besides, he's my Ex for a reason, I don't love him as much as I did in the past anymore."

Lute was quiet and looked away, Eve then went over and rubbed Lute's shoulder, causing Lute to take a deep breath.

Lute: " What... What do I do now?"

Eve: " Well, I guess it depends. It's your baby, not mine. Do you want to have this ba...."

Lute: " NO!!... Ye-y-yes?... I DON'T KNOW!! I Don't Even Know What To Say!! I'm Missing An Arm And Have A Whole Exorcist Army To Take Care Of! How Do You Expect Me To Take Care Of A Kid With All That To Deal With?!"

Lute started to get teary eyed again, biting her lip hard to keep herself from crying again. Eve held Lute's hand and rubbed it.

Eve: " It's okay, Lute. Take some deep breaths so you don't overwhelm yourself more. Adam isn't important right now, the Exorcists aren't important right now, but what is important is your feelings and the baby. I need to know if you really want this baby, you don't have to keep it, you could give it up for adoption for someone who aren't able to have children..... Or, get rid of it completely if you feel like it's the right thing."

Lute looked down and wrapped her arm around her stomach again.

Lute: " I.... I... I don't know.... I don't even know how this happened... Winners can't get pregnant! Heavenborn can. I don't even know how to feel."

Eve chuckled, Lute was about to say something when she thought Eve was laughing to make fun of her, but Eve just smiled.

Eve: " How do you think I felt when I first found out about my babies?"

Lute stopped and thought about it, she almost forgot that Eve was the very first mother all the way back in Eden when it was her, Adam and no help. Lute looked down for a moment.

Lute: " Was... Was it scary?"

Eve: " Very."

Lute: " How did you know you were ready?"

Eve: " I didn't, but no one really knows if they're ready or not. It's a huge change, it's painful and scary, but it's worth it. When I first hold each one of my babies, I completely forgot how scare I was and I fell in love with all of them. Not everyone feels the same about it like me, but you're not alone and others will help if you need it."

Lute looked down at her stomach, not knowing what to do or if this is a good idea or not. Later, Lute stared at herself in the mirror, she rubbed water on her face for a moment, still not believing this was actually real. She was actually pregnant, probably the very first Winner who's pregnant. Lute looked over and saw a bottle of pills, she was given them for the pain in the nub that was one her left arm. She took a deep sigh as she shook some pills out, she raised them to her mouth but froze. Her arm was shaking and her heart was racing, tons of thoughts running through her head till it started to turn into a ringing noise and causing her to throw them and punch the mirror. Lute panted as she grips the side of the sink before sliding down to the ground to curl up, she nearly swallowed them, she nearly overdoses on pain killers, she nearly killed her baby. Lute wrapped her wings around herself.

Lute: " I'm sorry.... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean it... I'm sorry..."

After crying for a minute, Lute noticed she was bleeding, she cut her hand when she punched the mirror. She pulled herself up to treat her hand, just a few tiny cuts and nothing serious, it took her a few minutes, she's not used to having one hand, so she had to use her mouth to wrap her hand up. Lute eventually finished patching her hand up and curled up in her bed. Lute looked over at her drawer, where Adam's tape he left for her sat. She put it in a cassette, listening to some of Adam's music usually calms her down. When Lute's body started to relate, she gently rubbed her stomach, she was scared, but she also wanted a reason to keep going.

Lute: " It-it-it's okay.... It's going to be okay... You're one of the strongest Exorcist in Heaven, you're able to kill tons of Demons each Extermination Day, yeah you had a few hiccups this month because of that Fucking Princess and that Bitch Vaggie.... And you lost a lot because of them... But you can pull yourself back up like you did in the past, how is this any different? You can do this, you're not going to throw in the towel just because you hit bumps... So pull yourself up... He would want that.."

Lute sat up and covered her mouth before running to the bathroom again to throw up.

Lute: " Ugh!... Oh boy.... This might be harder than I thought...."

Chapter 8: Trials

Summary:

After some time, Lute seems to be doing better but she also learns that she isn't able to do many things she enjoys doing before getting pregnant.

At the end of the week, Sera and a few nurses called Lute over to get her prosthetic arm, the nurses also checked on how she was doing because they found out she was also pregnant, which surprised everyone in Heaven since Winners have NEVER become pregnant. Lute was annoyed as the nurses were all over her while doing tests on her as Sera went on with Lute's new arm.

Sera: " This prosthetic is made from Angelic Steal, meaning it'll be hard to break."

Lute: " I know what Angelic Steal is, Ma'am. So I know how it works and how strong it is."

Sera: " Oh, right. Anyways, you'll need some therapy to learn how to use it like your actual arm and hand so you could do daily tasks."

One of the nurses came over with a golden arm, she attached it to her nub, strapping it on while Lute watch carefully for her to put it on, on her own. She then yank the arm a bit and looked at Lute.

The Nurse: " How's that? Not too tight or lose? Any bothering of the skin?"

Lute looked down at her arm and shifted her shoulder, it seem to be fine.

Lute: " It's feels a bit...... weird, but it also seems fine."

Another Nurse: " That's normal, but you'll get used to it after some time."

Lute looked down at her prosthetic and tried to squeeze her hand, the only thing she was able to get it to do was to get it to move a few fingers slightly.

A Nurse: " Try not to force yourself, Lieutenant. It's going to take time to manage using it, your brain and nervous system would have to get use to it for you to control it as an actual limb. Do you remember how to attach it?"

Lute nodded.

The Nurse: " Okay, good, but I'll show it to you again in case you have to see it again. You're going to have to detach it whenever you take a bath or shower and before bed."

Lute watch carefully as the Nurse took her arm off and back on as the other kept examining Lute's stomach and back. Lute slightly flapped her wings to get the Nurse to back up a bit, but she went right back to touching her stomach. Lute's feathers bristled slightly and pushed the two nurses away.

Lute: " Get Off Me! Get Off Me! Get Off Me!! Stop touch my stomach and give me space!!"

Sera: " We're sorry Lute, but this is new for everyone. You're the first Winner to get pregnant, Human Souls aren't able to reproduce once they end up in Heaven or Hell. This is a one in a million thing."

One of the Nurses: " Yes, we never heard of this before, not even our Mighty Creator heard of this. We have to make sure that everything goes smoothly for both you and your baby."

Lute sighed as she let the nurses get back to their tests, they were lucky that she didn't have their sword with her and that Sera was in the room, she would have strike and attack the moment they first touched her stomach. When they were finally done, Lute got up.

Lute: " Okay!! Now that this is over, I'm going to go punch something to blow off steam before I break someone."

Sera: " You mean something right?"

Lute: "...... Sure."

One of the Nurses got in front of Lute when she tried to walk out the door.

The Nurse: " Sorry Lieutenant, but we can't let you do that."

Lute: " What?! Why?!"

The other Nurse: " Because you started your first trimester, you're body would have to get use to the first changes. Which mean you can't do your usual routine for a while."

Lute: " Ugh, fine. How long is a while?"

The Nurses looked at each other.

The Nurses: " About 12 weeks."

Lute: " 12 WEEKS!?! You Mean I Have To Sit On My Ass For At Least 3 Months?!"

One of the Nurses: " Of course not, you're just going to take it easy for a while. Meaning no overworking yourself, no heavy lifting, no playing rough with the other Exorcists, no caffeine, no alcohol, nothing with high mercery and we'll have to give you a less dosage for your pain meds."

Lute groan and rubbed her face, Lute enjoys working out and she wasn't able to train during her pregnancy.

Lute: " It's fine! It's fine! It'll just be for a few weeks. Then I'll go back to how it was..."

The other Nurse: " Actually, no you won't. You'll have to maintain a healthy diet, which isn't a problem for you, there will be certain food and smells that might trigger your morning sickness, you'll have trouble sleeping and get body pains, and when usually when someone is halfway through your second trimester and your third one, you won't be able to fly, so I hope you don't mind walking around."

Lute groan louder, she already had enough work to do, but now she can't even do any of it or enjoy working out like she did.

Lute: " What about the Army? They still need me to train..."

Sera: " Actually, you don't have to worry about that because the Exterminations ended and nearly everyone turned in their weapons."

Lute: " WHAT!? When?! Why?!"

Sera: " Lute, Redemption is possible now and we made a Bind Deal, meaning we have to keep our side of the bargain of the deal. We stop permanently if 1 Sinner is Redeemed, which is Sir Pentious."

Lute stomped her food for a moment and pulled her hair and eyelids before storming off and punching the wall. Lute slammed the door and marched back to her apartment, she looked down at her stomach.

Lute: " You better be worth it making me put a hold on everything I enjoy doing."

Throughout Lute's first trimester, she tried to sneak off to train and would be caught by Seth or Aclima and sometimes Michael, and they would send her back home. Lute didn't really have many people to talk to or any hobbies she does aside from training, so she didn't really know what to do during her pregnancy aside from watching what she ate and taking it easy. Lute couldn't even enjoy some of the food she liked because just smelling it made her sick, and she would have to force herself to swallow the food her cravings the baby wanted. Lute would also have to go through multiple checkups, which was understandable since she was the first Winner to get pregnant, and they wanted to make sure things were going smoothly, she was also bigger than other pregnant women usually were. Yet again Adam was much bigger than Lute. But because of how big she was getting already, she had some trouble finding clothes that could fit her, so she mostly just walked around in a bra and shorts, she'll even wear some of Adam's old clothes because they were big enough to fit her, too big for her. If she moved a certain way they would slip off by, they were the few clothes that covered her whole body. Eve and a few others were able to get her to sign up for mother classes for Lute to both socialize and learn more about how to take care of herself, she was doing much better with her prosthetic but she had trouble doing things without it, she had to learn how to do things without it in case she lost it. Lute did find it was a bit easier to do her daily tasks with her wings when her prosthetic if off. Right before Lute entered her second trimester, she had trouble sleeping, she tossed and turned in her bed, trying to get comfortable but it seems like she wasn't going to get that much sleep that night. Lute groan as she rubbed her face and scratched her wing slightly. It was the end of the week, she usually preened her wings at the end of the week. She put her prosthetic on and grabbed a brush, she might as well brush her feathers now since she wasn't getting any sleep. While brushing, Lute felt something poke her side, she didn't think much of it and went back to preening, till she felt another poke. Lute looked up and looked around for a moment, she shook her head and tried to get back to getting rid of her old feathers when she felt another poke on the other side of her stomach. Lute spread her wings back to get a better look at her stomach, waist and her bed, thinking that a bug might be testing her patients, she then slightly rubbed her stomach and felt it again. Lute jolt and put her hand back in the spot she felt it and realized what the poking was, it was the baby moving. Lute stared at her stomach for a long time before rubbing it again to feel the baby kicking, cracking a small smile and chuckled a bit when she felt another small kick.

Lute quietly: " Heh, heh.... He-hello... I uhh... I felt that."

Chapter 9: The Snake

Summary:

During her pregnancy, Sir Pentious tried to get along with Lute to at least try to start over with her, but she doesn't want anything to do with him.

A few months passed, Lute was now 8 months pregnant and she is praying that the remaining month will fly fast. She missed working till her body was burning, she missed her favorite food she couldn't eat without feeling sick or isn't good for the baby, she couldn't fly anymore. Because of how big she was and the weight, she has trouble keeping herself in the air without tiring herself out or getting a few inches off the ground, so she's been walking around to place to place in Heaven. Eve and the other nurses told her that, that was normal when she complains about it alongside the cramps she gets. If it wasn't the nurses all over her, Abel would usually visit Lute regularly with Saint Peter, Seth, Aclima, Azura, Emily and sometimes Sir Pentious, whenever Sir Pentious was with them, Lute would usually ignore him, snap at him, shoves him out of her way or just leaves the room, she wants nothing to do with that Snake, he may have been able to Redeemed his Sins, but he'll always be Demon Scum to Lute. Lute didn't exactly like them all visiting her, she was pampered enough by the nurses during her checkups, Sera and a few others treat her as glass, but she did somewhat enjoy the company, it distracted her for a while since she can't really do much right now. Lute did find a few things to distract herself till her due date, she catch up on every book she never had the chance to read, she took walks and easy training methods after learning the hard way what happens if she pushed herself a bit, which ended having her overheated and sick for the whole day. She also did started to enjoy the mom classes Eve got her to do, she wouldn't admit it, but she does like it and it did seem to help her learn what to expect for the last handful of weeks left, during childbirth and after delivering. Lute was also able to find a way to get a few hours of sleep after hearing that making a nest in the mom classes will make it comfortable for the mother, which turned out to be true. Lute put every pillow and blanket she had in her home on her bed and made a nest out of it, she also listened to Adam's tape whenever her body act up a bit, it always seem to bring comfort for her and the baby. Lute looked at her calendar, just a few more weeks to put this up, a few more weeks for her to go back to her usual routine... Or most of it since the Exterminations came to a stop and she'll have a baby to take care of. Lute sighed as she rubbed her stomach.

Lute: " Just a few more weeks. A few more weeks till you're out of me and the nurses can FINALLY leave me alone!"

The baby shifted and kicked Lute's side.

Lute: " Yeah, I'm talking about you."

Later, Lute headed out to the doctor office for her usual checkup when someone decided to walk next to her, more like slithers next to her. Lute rolled her eyes, she didn't even have to turn her head to know that Sir Pentious was trying to walk with her.

Lute: " The Hell do you want?"

Sir Pentious: " I wanted to sssssee how you've been doing..."

Lute: " I'm fine! So go be a pain to someone else!"

Sir Pentious: " Oh... Well, where are you heading? I can give you ssssome company till you get there since you're no longer able to fly..."

Lute: " I'm going to get treated like glass again... Wh-why am I even telling you this?! "

Lute started to pick up her pace, but Sir Pentious kept trying to talk to her.

Sir Pentious: " Misssss Lute, I know we haven't exactly been well acquainted, but I wanted to at leasssst try to...."

Lute had enough and shoved the serpent against a building, gripping on his arms tightly and glared a death stare at him.

Lute: " Listen VERY Closely, You Useless Pile Of Fucking Space! I Am NOT Your Friend, I NEVER Had Been Or Will Be After You Showed Your Face Here After What You Did To Adam! After What That Poor Excuse Of A Princess And Her Bitch Did!"

Sir Pentious jolt hearing what Lute said about his friends, he open his hood and let out a hiss to try to get Lute to step back, but she didn't moved, she just tighten her grip.

Sir Pentious: " Don't You Talk About Charlie Like That! Sssshe Didn't Even Want To Fight, sssshe jussst wanted to be lisssten to and give Sssssinersss a chance to become a better perssson! If anything, it was the Firsssst Man'sss fault..."

Lute slammed Sir Pentious in the wall harder, digging her nails and prosthetic fingers through his clothes.

Lute: " Don't You Fucking Dare Finish That Sentence!! Adam Knew What You Were Capable Of And You Disgusting Filth DON'T Deserve To Be Walking..."

Michael: " Lute!"

Lute stopped hearing Michael, she whipped her head around to see Michael glaring at her, making her let go of Sir Pentious, but she tossed him to the ground before backing up.

Michael: " You okay, Sir Pentious?"

Sir Pentious: " Ye-yessss. I'm fine Ssssir Michael."

Michael: " Lute! We been over this! Sir Pentious is here to stay and you can't threaten to kill him if he gets on your nerves!"

Lute: " Are You Shitting Me?! He's blaming Adam for his death!!"

Michael: " Well maybe he shouldn't have decided to start a fight that was pointless and at least try to listen to what Charlie had to say instead of humiliating her and kill her friends."

Lute snarled, she was about to attack Michael when some pain shot through her body, she actually forgot that she was pregnant for a minute.

Lute: " UGH!! I don't have the time for this! Just keep that THING away from me because the next time he is, it'll be the last time!"

Lute stormed off to the doctor, she'll just get this over with so she can go home and blew off her steam. How could that snake blame Adam?! How could Michael side with him and the Princess?! Lute HATED this! She hated that the Exterminations were over, she hated that Adam was gone and she hated how everyone quickly moved on from it and accepted Sinners joining Heaven. When she finally got there, the nurse tried to start small talk, but right away noticed Lute wasn't in a good mood.

The Nurse: " Is everything okay, Lute?"

Lute: " No! No it is not! Can we get this over with fast so I can go home?!"

Lute sat on the exam chair and lift her shirt, the Nurse then got the ultrasound set up as she asked Lute how she was feeling aside from being upset.

The Nurse: " How have you been feeling lately? Have you feel any pain or any trouble with anything?"

Lute: " Like Shit. I've been feeling like Shit because they like to gab me at random times!"

The moment Lute said that, the baby shifted and kicked her in the ribs, causing Lute to yelp slightly.

Lute: " See what I mean!"

The Nurse: " *slight laugh* That's a good sigh, it means they're getting stronger, like her mama."

Lute scoffed as the Nurse put some gel on her stomach, causing Lute to shiver her body.

Lute: " Do you always have to put that on every time we do this?!"

The Nurse: " I'm afraid so, but it won't be for much longer."

Lute laid back as tuned the Nurse out while began the exam. Lute glared at the celling, trying to forget her encounter with Michael and Sir Pentious earlier. They were lucky Lute was pregnant because she would have fought Sir Pentious the moment he showed up when he tried to get near her. The Nurse then gently nudged Lute's shoulder, causing her to snap out of her thoughts.

The Nurse: " Lute? Is everything okay?"

Lute: " Huh?! Oh, sorry. Got lost in my thoughts for a moment."

The Nurse: " That's fine. Anyways, do you want to know the gender of the baby this time? I know you said no in the past exams, but I wanted to see if you change your mind."

Lute looked over at the screen, she didn't really looked at the screen during her ultrasounds, so this was the first time she was looking at her baby. She didn't really know how to react, but she eventually shook her head.

The Nurse: " Well everything seems to be alright, but if you have any questions or feel any pain, feel free to drop buy."

Lute nodded as she got the remaining gel off her stomach. The weeks were slow, it felt like time itself decided to slow down and to rub more salt in the wound, Sir Pentious still tried to start conversation with her. He would apologize for his outburst, but Lute didn't care, she wanted nothing to do with him, why can't he get this in his head already? Finally, the day came, Lute checked the calendar and her due date was tomorrow, Lute was nervous but happy to finally be over with the pain her body went through, with the food cravings, the morning sickness and she could finally go back to work, she's been dying to get to work to get rid of her baby fat. But nothing happened. Lute water didn't break and there were no contractions, she felt like she did the days before. Lute didn't really think about that much, thinking that it'll trigger eventually. Another day passed, and another, and another till Lute was a week over her due date, which seems to worry Lute. Lute didn't know if this was normal or not, most of the other mom's given birth on or a bit before their dates, so why haven't her? Lute then decided to go to Eve, maybe she might know if something was wrong, Lute wasn't used to asking for help, but when Eve saw her, she welcomed her in and looked her over. Lute bounced her leg up and down during the whole visit, Eve gently press on Lute's stomach and listen to both her and the baby's heart, checking if everything was alright. Eventually, Lute got herself to talk.

Lute: " Are they... Okay?"

Eve: " Hmm? Oh, yes. Everything seems to be fine."

Lute: " Then why haven't I gone into labor or my water broke or whatever happens when you get on your due date? Is there something wrong with me?"

Lute started to breath heavily, worried about her baby, Eve gently rubbed her hand and helped her take deep breaths.

Eve: " It's okay Lute. Some babies take a little more time than others and others come earlier than expected. But it also means you could go into labor at any minute. I could give you a list on how to make labor go a bit faster if you want."

Lute: ".... Yes..."

A few days passed, Lute draw a bath to help her muscles relax, all this stress was starting to get her muscles to feel tight. She was about to step in when someone knocked on the door. She rolled her eyes and groan as she put her robe back on before answering.

Lute: " Eve, I swear. If that's you or any of your kids, I don't want to be bother...."

Lute opened the door and instead of Eve or any of her children, Sir Pentious was on the other side of the door.

Sir Pentious: " Hello Misss Lute..."

Lute: " The Fuck do you want now?"

Sir Pentious: " Well, Misssss Nature asssked if I could check up on you becaussse ssshe'ss a bit busssy at the moment."

Lute: " Fascinating. Now leave."

Lute slammed the door on the formal Sinner's face, but he knocked on the door again. Lute groaned as she flung the door opened again.

Lute: " What?!"

Sir Pentious: " Lute.... I know you and I haven't been on the sssssame foot after what happened, but I really want to ssstart over. I want to asssure you that I'm a good person and-and that Charlie's dream is..."

Lute slammed the door in Sir Pentious face before he could finished, he then called out for her on the other side of the door.

Sir Pentious: " Okay, I'll leave you be, but if you want to talk, I'm willing to lisssten."

Lute: " Ugh! Why can't he get it in his head that I Want Nothing To Do With Him!?"

After finishing her bath and getting dressed, Lute's door once again knocked, Lute groan as she wattled over till she felt a sharp pain on her side, causing her to wrap her arms around her stomach.

Lute: " Ow!! Fuck! Now you start acting up? You've been behaving for the past week and now you...."

Lute felt something gush down her legs, causing her eyes to go wide and gasped. She slowly looked down and found herself standing in a puddle of water, her water.

Lute: " Please tell me my water didn't just broke! Fuck. Fuck! FUCK!"

Lute looked at her door when she heard a knocked again, she took a deep breath and forced herself to the door, pushing through the pain and trying to act like her usual self. On the other side of the door was Sir Pentious again, causing Lute to groan.

Lute's thoughts: " Perfect! Just perfect!"

Lute: " What do you want this time?"

Sir Pentious: " Oh, Missss SSSSera asked if I could grab... Are you okay? You're sssshaking."

Lute: " Yeah, I'm fine! Just tell me what Sera wants!"

Sir Pentious: "... Sssshe and othersss are having a Gathering.... About future Redeemed Ssssssinnersss..."

Lute: " *groans* Ke-keep going!... I'm listening..."

Sir Pentious looked Lute up and down real quick and he right away noticed her pants were wet, causing him to get worried.

Sir Pentious: " You-you-your... Did your water broke?"

Lute: " Huh?! Oh!... No-no-no! I uhhhh..... Just... *groaning* Got out of a bath!"

Lute held onto the door frame, her legs were shaking and electric shocks ran through her body, she wrapped her arms around her stomach and slightly bend over.

Sir Pentious: " Le-let me help you! I can take you to Missss Nature!..."

Sir Pentious held out his hand, but Lute slapped it away.

Lute: " I Said NO!! And For The Million Time, I'm FINE!!"

Lute cried as her legs finally gave out and she crouched on her ground. It felt like her body was being electrocuted.

Lute's thoughts: " No, no, no! You couldn't have pick any other moment to do this?!"

Sir Pentious didn't wait for any other answer, Lute was in labor and he was going to help her rather she liked it or not because she NEED it. He grabbed her arms and tried to pull her up but Lute pulled herself away.

Lute: " NO! I Said I'm Fine!! I Don't Need Your Help!!"

Lute hit, yelled and pushed Sir Pentious away, but he took it as he helped her up. She wasn't able to fly, so he carried her to the hospital, Lute covered herself with her wings as Sir Pentious flew like a jet to get Lute help. She couldn't let anyone else see her in this vulnerable state, it was already embarrassing enough for someone like Sir Pentious to find her like this.

Lute's thoughts: " This Can't Be Happening! Not Like This!! Of All People Who Sees Me Like This, It Had To Be HIM!"

Chapter 10: Delivery

Summary:

After Sir Pentious helped Lute to the hospital, she got ready to have her baby. She was horrified, and just wanted to get it over with.

After half an hour passed, Lute paced back and forth in her hospital room, she changed into a hospital gown and had to take her prosthetic off. Lute was still worked up from embarrassment when others saw her with Sir Pentious, they all saw her in a vulnerable state, she HATED being seen as weak and getting helped by the person she absolutely hate was just rubbing more salt into the wound. Lute groan as another contraction came as a few nurses got set up.

Lute: " OW!! OW!! Fuck! Fuck! Fuckity FUCK!!! UGH!! When Are We Going To Get This Thing Out Of Me Already?!"

A Nurse: " You've just gone into labor, Miss Lute. It doesn't happen right away, it takes time, especially for first time mothers."

Lute groaned and swore under her breath, she just wanted this to be over with already. Lute walked around the room and sat on her delivery chair to try and push through the pain till she actually delivers the baby. After hearing Lute went into labor, Eve dropped everything to help with the delivery, she right away started to comfort Lute seeing how nervous she is.

Eve: " How you holding up, Lute?"

Lute: " What do you think?! It feels like my body is being Fucking Electrocuted!!"

Eve: " How long has she been in labor?"

A Nurse: " Almost 2 hours now, ma'am."

As Eve and the other nurses talked, Abel, Saint Peter, Emily and even Sir Pentious showed up.

Lute: " OH COME ON!!! What Are You Doing Here?!"

Emily: " Hi Lute! We just wanted to see how you're doing! Penny said you gone into labor."

Lute glared at Sir Pentious, he looked away and gave a small nervous wave.

Abel: " Sooooo how do you feel?"

Lute: " I Am. In EXCRUCIATING Pain. So. How DO You Think I'm Doing?!"

Abel looked away and rubbed his arm, Lute went through another contraction, groaning as a few Nurses helped her to the delivery chair. Saint Peter was very uncomfortable, he felt sick thinking about being in the room with Lute as she gave birth. Eve looked over.

Eve: " You do know you don't have to stay here, right? You're not being force to help or watch."

Saint Peter: " OH THANK GOD!! Sorry Lute, but I rather not watch you do all...... This."

Lute: " None taken, I didn't ask you to be here anyways."

As the younger Angels were about to head out, Seth called out for Abel in the hallway.

Seth: " I Told You That You're Not Being Forced To Be In The Room When Someone Giving Birth!"

Abel: " I Get! I Get! I didn't know and I thought we had to!"

As the four were about to join Seth to wait outside the room, Lute yelled and grabbed then closest thing near her. At first she thought she gripped onto her chair's arm, but it turned out to be Sir Pentious arm.

Abel: " Pentious! Are you okay?!"

Sir Pentious clenched his teeth as Lute squeezed his arm, but he didn't pulled away, he let her do it. Abel and Emily rushed over to try to help him, Eve looked over and rushed over to help.

Eve: " Lute, let go of Sir Pentious!"

Eve was about to do something when Sir Pentious actually stopped her and the others.

Sir Pentious: " Wa-wait... Wait! It'sssss disssstracting her. Let her do it."

Saint Peter: " Ar-are you sure?"

Emily: " Yeah, that looks like it hurts a lot."

Sir Pentious: " It doesssssss... But it looksss like it'sss helping her."

Lute panted as she realized she wasn't holding her chair, she didn't know why he would do this when she was nothing but rude and threaten him multiple times, alongside with why this was actually helping. Eve looked over at Pentious's arm, luckily it wasn't her prosthetic, but it still hurt because how hard she was squeeze it and how strong she is.

Eve: " Sir Pentious, are you sure you want Lute to do this? I'll make her let go if it's too much."

Sir Pentious: " Yesss Misssss Nature.... It ssssseemss like itsss helping."

Eve: " What about you Lute? Do you want Sir Pentious to stay? He's willing to let you squeeze his arm, but he doesn't have to stay."

Lute was quiet, she tried to talk, but another contraction came and groans came out of her mouth instead, causing her to squeeze on Pentious's arm again.

Lute: " AGGGGGGHHHH! FINE!! FUCK IT!! Yeah, Whatever! *groans* Just Get This Thing Out of Me!!"

Eve: " You think you'll be able to mange?"

Sir Pentious looked at his arm, he clenched his teeth but nodded.

Sir Pentious: " Ye-yesssss. I believe sssso."

Eve: " Alright, let me know when it gets too much."

After Abel, Saint Peter and Emily left, Sir Pentious stayed by Lute letting her squeeze his arm every time she went through a contraction. He looked away to not see Lute to make her somewhat comfortable and he doesn't see her giving birth. Lute hated the fact that he was with her, she didn't even mean to grab him, she thought his arm was her chair's arm and she hated the fact that squeezing his arm seem to be helping. Hours passed, Lute was covered with sweat and tears rolled down her face, she flapped her wings hard a few times, causing feathers to fly and make the other step back before getting hit by one of them. Sir Pentious clenched his teeth as Lute squeeze his arm, each time she did it got tighter and tighter. It went numb and there were times that it felt like Lute might rip it off, but he still let her do it. He was thankful though that she didn't have her prosthetic on and was the one squeezing his arm. There were times where Lute would let go and grip onto the chair's arm or the back of if, giving Pentious a break and get his arm looked over by Eve. This happened a couple times, but Sir Pentious still didn't pull away or even said anything, he just let her squeeze his arm. Lute on the other hand was dying, she been through pain thanks to her training and she ripped her own arm off almost a year ago now, but this was SO MUCH different. Even with painkillers, it felt like she was tearing her insides apart, and if it hurts enough with them, she hates to think how it'll be without them.

Lute: " FFUUUUCCCCCK!! How Much Longer?!"

Eve: " You're doing good, Lute. We're getting there."

Lute: " Getting There?!? *groans and cries* It Fucking Hurts!! I Just Want This To Be Over With Already!!!"

Lute's thoughts: " FUUUUUUUCCCCCK!! Nine Months! I HAD THIS THING INSIDE ME FOR NINE FUCKING MONTHS AND THIS IS HOW I GET REPAID!?"

Lute screamed feeling pressure in her lower half, Eve grabbed a blanket.

Eve: " You're almost there Lute! Just a little longer."

Lute: " SH-SH-SHUT UP!!!"

Lute pushed hard, it hurt so much, it felt like she was dying, how did Eve survive this 5 times without any drugs? Eve then held the blanket in front of Lute's entrance.

Eve: " They're almost here. We're going to need you to push as hard as you can in these last few pushes, Lute."

Lute: " N-n-n-n-NO!! NO! I Ca-Can't!! It Hurts Too Much!!"

A Nurse: " You have to, Miss Lute. Your body is doing the work rather you like it or not and you have to help it."

Lute squeezes her eyes as she tried to push again, her grip on Pentious's arm tighten as she pushed.

Lute: " No-No-No-No! I Can't Do This! It's Too Much!! *groans* I'm Going To Die! I'm GONNA DIE!!"

Sir Pentious: " You-you-you can do it, Missssss Lute. I'm sssssure it won't be any longer..."

Lute: " NO! NO!! YOU... SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! I Never Even Wanted You Here!! You Just So Happened To Be Next To Me When I Thought I Grabbed My Chair!!"

Eve: " Lute! I know you're in pain, but don't scream at Sir Pentious when he has done nothing but let you squeezed his arm and trying to help!"

Sir Pentious: " No-no, it'ssss alright Missss Nature. Really, it issss. Ssshe never did like me after what happened in Hell, and I'm usssssed to otherssss ssssnapping and throwing inssssults at me. Sssssshe'ss in pain and grieving sssstill."

Lute went quiet and dropped her glare, it looked like she was about to say something but she screamed feeling more pressure, this was it.

Lute: " OOWWW!!!! FUCK!!! AAAAHHHHH!!! It FUCKING Hurts!!!"

Lute clenched her teeth and slightly bend forward as she used what strengthen she had left in one last big push. She then fell back in her chair and let go of Pentious, she saw stars as she caught her breath and stared off at the celling. Sir Pentious slithered aside and got his arm treated for the 29th time now when a loud cry came out of nowhere. Eve smiled as she wrapped a small Angel in the blanket as they scream, Lute turned and wrapped her wings around herself. Lute panting: " ... Ne... Ne-ne-never.... Nev-nev-never..... A-a-again.... I-I Ne-never want to do th-this EVER again..." It's over, it's finally over, but Lute didn't know how to feel. She didn't know if she should be happy or not, she didn't know if she was ready to be a mom, she didn't know if she could take care of herself and a baby with the types of duties she has, or had. Eve then came over, smiling while holding the bundle and lift one of Lute's wings up.

Eve: " Lute, someone wants to meet you."

Lute opened one of her eyes, they both flung opened and she gasped shortly after seeing what was in Eve's arms, it was a little screaming baby girl. She looked so much like Adam, same messy hair, similar facial features and had a big mouth like her daddy.

Eve: " Say hi to your daughter, Lute. Isn't she beautiful?"

Lute didn't say anything, she didn't even know what to say or do, she just stare at her baby as she kicked and squirmed in the blanket. Lute was quiet for a good while before she wrapped her wings around herself again before Eve could pass the baby in her mother's arms. She was so sore and tired, and she just wanted to be left alone right now.

Chapter 11: New Mom

Summary:

After giving birth to her daughter, Lute doesn't really know what to do or how to feel, she wasn't really expecting to become a mom.

Hours passed, Lute was cleaned up and moved to a different room, she was given her prosthetic back but she hardly said a word after the birth. Lute stared out the window, she hardly looked at anyone and she didn't even snapped at Pentious when he asked if she was alright before leaving. Lute laid back and closed her eyes, till she heard a similar screaming approach her room, the same scream that filled the delivery room. Lute slightly looked over as Eve came in while holding Lute's screaming baby who was trying to get out of Eve's arms.

Eve: " Lute, someone missed you."

Lute turned away and wrapped her wings around her, Lute sighed as she put the baby in a crib to check on Lute.

Lute muffled: " I don't to see it."

Eve: " What? Why? Lute you have to talk to me, tell me what's wrong."

Lute muffled: "..... I just don't want to see them. My head hurts and... And..."

Eve walked next to Lute and lift one of her wings, finding a shaking, curled up Lute under it. She refused to look up at Eve as she got teary-eyed and just stared at the floor.

Eve: " Oh Lute."

Eve sat down and brushed Lute's hair, knowing she's terrified and needs someone right now.

Eve: " You did amazing back there you know, strong as always."

Lute didn't say anything, she just stared at the ground.

Eve: " I know it scary, trust me I know, and it's a big change, but changes can be good. It's a 50/50 chance, sometimes it can be both bad and good. One being Adam's death, the other being this little one."

Lute glanced up at Eve for a moment before looking back at the floor.

Eve: " It'll get easier. It'll be very hard in the beginning and you won't get the hang of it right away, but it does get easier. You're one of the strongest Angels here, Lute, so I know you can do it."

Lute looked up at Eve, she then looked over at the baby in her crib, squirming in her swaddle and still crying.

Lute: " What if.... What if I'm not good enough?"

Eve: " You don't have to be good, you just have to be there for her and give her love. Many parents have no idea what to do with their first baby, they learn as they grow. Heck, even I'm still learning a few more things and all of my babies are grown up, but they'll still be my little babies to me."

Lute: " ........ What if.... What if she doesn't like me?... Or-or... Or if I don't like her?..."

Eve got up and gently pushed the crib closer to the bed. She smiled as she looked back at Lute.

Eve: " Give me your hand."

Lute looked down and reached out, Eve chuckled.

Eve: " No, you're actual hand. Come on, give me your hand."

Lute looked down at her right hand, she gulped as she reached out for Eve. She placed Lute's hand next to the baby, Lute flinched and pulled back when the baby brushed one of her hands on Lute's fingers. Eve chuckled.

Eve: " It's okay, Lute. She's not going to hurt you."

Lute gulped as she reached out again, the baby wrapped her tiny hand around Lute's finger, causing her to start calming down and Lute's heart to speed up.

Eve: " See? You're both are alright. Do you want to try to hold her?"

Lute was quiet, she looked at her baby and back at Eve a few times before turning on her back. Eve smiled as she picked the baby up, she started to get fussy again as Lute carried her to Lute. Lute was shaking as she held out her arms and Eve place the small Angel in her mother's arms.

Eve: " Here you go, Lute. Say hi to your mommy, little one."

Lute brought the baby closed to her chest, she didn't really know what to do but she just held her baby close to her chest. Her heart was racing, it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest at any moment.

Eve: " Not too tight. Keep her head up, that's it."

Lute slowly looked down at the baby, she stopped crying and squirming, she just laid on her mother's chest now making tiny cooing noises.

Lute: " Why... Why did she stopped crying?"

Eve: " Because she knows who you are. She knows you're her mommy and that she's safe with you."

Lute looked down at the baby again, she gently held her hand again and gently rubbed it. So many thoughts ran through her head.

Lute's thoughts: " All that work.... just for you to be this small? You made it feel like I was dying.... And you made me so big.... She's heavier than I expected, but so light at the same time... Is that her heartbeat? I can feel it."

The baby moved, causing Lute to jolt and gasp, Eve chuckled.

Eve: " It's alright Lute, she's not going to hurt you. You can talk to her if you want."

Lute: " Like what? Would she even understand me?"

Eve: " Anything, and she'll know you're talking, she won't understand most of it, but she'll know it's coming from you."

Lute looked down and brought the baby slightly closer.

Lute quietly: " He-he-hello....It-it's me... It's your mom.... It's... It's nice to meet you..."

The baby cooed and looked towards Lute. She slightly reached out, causing Lute to crack a small smile and get teary-eyed.

Lute's thoughts: " How could I think I wouldn't like you?"

The baby then pressed her face against Lute's chest, nudging her face in her chest a few times. Lute looked over at Eve, not knowing what she wanted.

Eve: " She's still hungry? She already had 5 syringes. *chuckles* Now I know that's Adam's kid."

Lute looked down as the baby pulled down her gown's top, Lute blushed as she quickly covered herself with her wings as the baby started to nurse. Lute's body slightly shivered as the baby nursed, it felt weird and didn't know what to do.

Eve: " Don't worry, you'll get used to it."

Lute: "....... Why is this so scary?"

Eve: " Because it's life changing and a huge reasonability, but it's worth it and it'll get easier."

Lute looked down at the baby again, she hiccupped after finishing her meal for now, she brought the baby up to her shoulder and rubbed her back. Her blanket slid down a bit, showing her wings, they didn't have any feathers and they flapped a bit when Lute brushed one of them, causing her to pull back for a moment but chuckled a tiny bit. Lute brought the baby in front of her again, she yawned and slightly opened her eyes and reached out for Lute. Lute rested her head against her baby's and chuckled a bit while tears rolled down her face. Around 2 hours passed, Abel, his siblings, Emily and Saint Peter came over to visit Lute and see the baby. They were all excited to see her, but when they try to get near them, Lute became very protective, wrapping her wings around herself while holding the baby.

Abel: " Oh come on Lute. It'll just be a minute."

Lute: " I Said No!!"

Azura: " Not even for a minute? We'll be gentle."

Lute: " No!"

Saint Peter: " I don't think you guys will be able to meet your sister like you were planning on."

Seth: " Unless we pried her from Lute's dead arms. *chuckles*"

Lute snarled and her feathers bristled bigger as the others tried to get near her, Eve came in and shook her head a bit.

Eve: " Lute, be nice. They just want to meet the little one, they're not going to hurt her now are you kids?"

Abel/Seth/Aclima/Azura/Saint Peter/Emily: " Of course not./ Wouldn't dream of it, mom./ We'll be very gentle."

Lute glared at Eve before rolling her eyes as she opened her wings and reluctantly passed the baby to Abel. His and the others faces lit up seeing the small Angel and passed her around to one another. Lute didn't take her eyes off of them, which surprised herself a bit because she wasn't exactly that excited when she first met the baby, and she was always an aggressive person, now she was a protective mother who somehow became more aggressive. But Abel and his siblings were her baby's older siblings, and they seem to be being gentle, so she guesses it's alright, but she didn't take her eyes off of them the whole visit. After Abel, Seth, Aclima, Azura, Saint Peter and Emily left, the baby fell asleep in her crib, letting Lute get some rest herself. While the two slept, someone came in to see how she was doing, or rather slithered in, it was Sir Pentious. He was a bit hesitant to go inside, but he quietly slithered in while holding some flowers. Sir Pentious wasn't planning to stay for long, he just came to drop off the flowers, when he was about to leave, he head the baby cooed slightly. Sir Pentious looked back for a moment, then at the door for a while, he couldn't help but slightly peak over at the baby, he smiled for a second till he noticed Lute glaring at him.

Sir Pentious: " Mi-Misssss Lute! I... I don't mean any harm. I jussssst came to drop ssssome flowersss off, if that'sss alright with you."

Sir Pentious slowly slithered to the door, keeping his distance from Lute with his hands up. Lute just glared at him and watch him go to the door.

Sir Pentious: " I sssshould leave you be then...Yo-yo-you probably don't want to see me anywayssss... Ssssorry for intruding..."

Lute: " Why?"

Sir Pentious looked back at Lute, she was looking down and gripped onto her blanket slightly.

Lute: " Why did you stay with me and let me squeeze your arm to where I could have break it? After everything and the way I treated you, you still helped me and didn't fight back. You had the chance to yank away and leave, but you didn't. It doesn't make any sense."

Sir Pentious: " Well, you were in pain, and you needed help. I don't like ssssseeing any of my friendssss hurt."

Lute: ".... I am NOT your friend."

Sir Pentious: " I know.... But I sssstill want to be ssssomewhat acquainted with you and you ssstill needed help back there... Charlie told me it sssstartss with sssssorry, and I really am sssssorry for what happened in Hell..."

Lute was quiet for a moment, Sir Pentious was about to leave when Lute actually said something he wasn't expecting to hear, even Lute was a bit caught off guard she actually said this.

Lute: " .... Do you..... *sighs* Do you... Want to say hi?"

Sir Pentious: " Wait... Really?!"

Lute: " ... *sigh* Yeah.... I guess... Just go over and say hi before I change my mind."

Sir Pentious smiled as he slithered to the crib, he held his hand out and the baby wrapped her hand around one of his claws, causing him to get a huge smile on his face and his tail even started to wag, Lute didn't take her eyes off him the whole time. After the baby let go of his finger, Sir Pentious looked back at Lute and slightly bowed.

Sir Pentious: " Thank you for trussssting me to hold your child'ssss hand..."

Lute: " Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just get out."

Lute turned her body and looked at her baby as Sir Pentious left, she slightly looked back and mumbled something loud enough for him to hear.

Lute mumbling: " .... Thanks for helping me.... I guess..."

Sir Pentious smiled and nodded before leaving Lute alone with her baby again. Lute closed her eyes again and drifted off, till she was woken up later when the baby started crying. Lute sprung up before checking on the baby, she held her and gently rubbed her back to calm her down before a nurse came in to help. This was just the start of many times the baby started to scream for the rest of the time Lute was in the hospital. Eve was right about it being hard, but Lute wasn't expecting it to be this hard.

Chapter 12: Struggling

Summary:

After being allowed to go home, Lute struggled to adapt to her new life as a mom and she doesn't want to ask for help.

Almost a week passed, Lute was finally able to go home with her baby. Eve, Abel, Seth, Aclima and Azura helped her settled in, Seth and Aclima were the only ones who treated her as use instead of seeing her as glass like their mom, siblings and a few others did. Lute was mostly quiet the whole time, she was relived to finally be home, but also a bit nervous since she was now on her own to look after the baby.

Eve: " Alrighty, here we are."

After Lute sat down on the couch, the others helped around in the house as Lute rest. The baby was in her mother's arms, she cooed as she looked around her new home, she looked up and reached for Lute's face. Lute cracked a smile as she gently nuzzled her, she then kissed her head as Eve and her kids finished moving a few things for Lute.

Abel: " You sure you can handle the first night without any help?"

Lute: " For the millionth time, yes. Stop treating me like I'm something that can break easily."

Eve: " Lute, be nice. We just want to check if you wanted us to stay to help."

Lute: " I'm fine. If I was able to train a whole army, I think I can manage one baby."

Lute gently rubbed the baby's face as she said that. Everyone looked at each other, Seth and Aclima smiled and chuckled.

Aclima: " Well when you're done being stubborn and need a break, you know how to call us."

As Aclima, Seth, Abel and Azura left, Eve stay back for a bit and gently rubbed the baby's hair.

Eve: " There's a big difference of the Angelic Army and a baby Lute."

Lute: " Yeah, I know. But at least I just have one person to look after."

Eve: " No, well yes that, and I mean she's going to need all your attention, and the first few days won't be easy, those are the hardest days. But if you insisted you're fine, I guess I'll let you settle with the two of you. There's the baby books to look through if you need some help, or you can let me know if you have any questions. Oh, and one more thing, don't overwhelmed yourself by doing things by yourself. And don't go straight back to your usual routine please, just tried to settle down with your little one right now, once you get the hang of it a bit more, then you can balance your old routine with your new one."

Lute: " Yeah, yeah. I think I got it. And thanks."

Eve smiled and nodded before leaving, after she left, Lute looked down at the baby. She just looked up at Lute and stared at her with big eyes and slightly tilled her head.

Lute: " Soooooo.... This is my apartment, and I guess it's your too. This is the living room, that's the kitchen."

Lute then got up and walked around the apartment, showing the baby every room in her new home, she even opened a few things and showed the baby inside them, mostly because Lute didn't really know what to do with her after showing her around so she decided to entertain her a bit by showing what a few things look like from the inside. Lute opened a few cabinets, her closet, the fridge which got the baby to sneeze and smile a bit. She then showed her the oven and opened it.

Lute: " This is the oven, but we don't play with it. You'll burn yourself if you do."

After closing the oven, Lute showed the baby the microwave, then the washer and dryer, she even showed the baby her sword, but she did make sure the baby didn't actually touch it. Lute then lay on her bed and rest the baby next to her, she cooed as Lute rubbed and gently move the baby's hands a bit. Lute looked away for a minute, trying to figure out what to do now.

Lute: "..... Are you hungry?"

The baby slightly jolt hearing that and reached for Lute.

Lute: " I'll take that as a yes."

Lute sat up and scooped the baby up to her chest, she lifted her shirt and unstrapped her bra, the baby latched onto her shortly after which cause to jolt slightly.

Lute: " Yep, you're definitely Adam's kid."

Lute looked over at the baby books and scoffed.

Lute: " Please, if I get stress? I was second in command of the Angelic Army, I think I can manage..."

As Lute got distracted, the baby reached up and grabbed her hair, causing Lute to yep. As the day went on, the baby cried and fuss over almost everything. Even if Lute tried to put her down for a minute, she scream, causing Lute to carry her everywhere she went. The rest of the week was not any better. Lute paced around to calm the baby down, she been screaming and crying almost the whole time, and the only time she was quiet was when she was eating or sleeping. The baby would also grab onto Lute's hair and feathers at random times, causing her to yelp every time and she had to hold herself back from snapping. But it was the nights that were the hardest, the baby hardly gave Lute a break and it would take hours for her to tire herself out. Lute rubbed her face, this was so much harder than training the Angelic Army, it was just as overwhelming maybe even more. While feeding the baby, Lute looked down at her phone, remembering Eve told her to contact her if she needed help. Lute bit her lip slightly but decided to grab one of the baby books to see if it could help her, she HAD to get used to taking care of the baby by herself. A month passed now, Lute hardly got any sleep and started to lose track of other things to take care of the baby. Abel would drop by with his siblings, Emily or Saint Peter a few times after realizing Lute was a bit too busy to take care of chores at the moment, so they would help around and hold the baby for Lute to have a moment to herself. When Abel finished cleaning the dishes, he looked over at Lute who was on the couch with the baby.

Abel: " Dishes are taken care of, and I tossed out the trash. Do you want me to do anything else..."

Abel walked over and realized Lute was asleep with the baby also passed out on her chest. Whenever the baby was quiet, Lute would always doze off, she was just so tired. Abel slowing scoot closer to Lute and reached out for the baby, he wanted Lute to get more than a few minutes to rest, but she jolt away when Abel slightly brushed one of her wings.

Lute: " I'm Awake!! I'm Awake!!"

Abel jumped back by Lute's outburst, the baby woke up and started to cry.

Lute: " Ssssssssshhhhhit!!

Lute got up and started to walk back and forth while rubbing the baby's back to calm her down.

Lute: " Yeah, yeah, I know. I know. Momma shouldn't have scared you."

Abel: " Lute, maybe I can watch over the baby for the day, just for you to take the rest of the day off."

Lute: " No! I'm fine! I told you and the others this every time. I don't need any help."

Abel: " But mom said..."

Lute: " I know what Eve said! *sighs* I need to learn how to take care of the baby by myself."

Abel: " But you don't have to do it alone. That's what I'm trying to tell you, we know you need help right and we're willing to help if you ask."

Lute glared at Abel, her expression softens slightly before shaking her head.

Lute: " I'll be fine. Why don't you go and bother your mother, one of your siblings or boyfriend instead of me?"

Abel jolt and his feathers bristled while blushing a bit.

Abel: " Peter Isn't My.... Never mind. But I'll still come over to help around and just be here to talk to."

Abel headed out as Lute gently bounced the baby in her arms. She looked back slightly, but didn't say anything. When night came, Lute paced around as she did every night for the past month, rubbing her back while slightly mumbling what sound like a lullaby.

Lute: " Come on, come on. Please calm down, that's all I'm asking. Shhhhh, shhhhh, shhhh."

Lute's wall banged a bit, causing Lute to jump, Lute snarled a bit before putting the baby down in the nest of blankets Lute made on her bed. Lute went over to her door and saw a few of her neighbors, all came to snap at Lute for not keeping her baby quiet. Lute apologized over and over again, promising that she'll take care of it. After talking to the neighbors for a few minutes, Lute went back to her room and scooped her baby up, who was still very fussy.

Lute: " *sighs* I love you, but PLLLLLEEAASE, go to sleep."

Lute continued to rub the baby's back and pace around. Eventually, the baby tired herself out and fell asleep on Lute's shoulder. When Lute realized she was asleep, she gently nuzzled her as she placed her in the bed, she gently kissed her and collapse next to her, she was too tired to take her prosthetic off. She may be exhausted, but she smiled as she gently stroked the baby's head before closing her eyes for a few seconds, till the baby started to cry again and Lute jolt away, it was already morning. Lute sighed as she rubbed her face.

Lute: " Ugh, momma's here."

After changing the baby, Lute flipped through the baby books again to try and see if there was anything wrong with the baby because how fussy she was.

Lute: " Come on, come on! There's got to be something in here. Anything at all! I can't go to the others for help, I never asked for help for the Exorcists and I was Second in Fucking Command! I'm suppose to be one of the strongest Angels in Heaven for crying out loud, I can't show any weakness! I got to figure this Shit out, I can't be seen as this weak thing after everything I've been through..."

Lute snapped out of her rant when the baby grabbed her hair again, causing Lute to yelp once again. She looked down and got her to let go.

Lute: " Grabby hands, one minute you're screaming, the next your pulling my hair or stuffing your face."

The baby just smiled and reached up for Lute, Lute lean down and gently kissed the baby. The baby then looked at her mother's golden prosthetic and patted it a bit, Lute looked aside, trying to not think about the day she lost Adam.

Lute: " Yeah, it different from my other arm, isn't it?"

The baby cooed a bit. Later in the day, Lute decided to go out for a walk to get some fresh air, the baby was in a carrier on Lute's chest and she just dangled on it during the walk. Lute looked down and smile as she rubbed the baby's back, till she overheard some formal Exorcists talk about a meeting God was holding.

One of the Angels: " Are you sure this is true? This did come from Gabriel and Remiel after all and they mostly spread lies to cause drama."

The other Angel: " I know and I was thinking the same thing. I just hope Lute doesn't her about this meeting with the Higher Ups, after everything that happened."

The first Angel: " Yeah, a lot changed over the year. The battle in Hell, Sir Pentious, God deciding to put a stop to the Exterminations, and.... Well, you know... Adam..."

Lute gasped hearing that, she didn't know just hearing Adam's name would get her to overwhelmed and remember that day she got her dignity bruised, the day she lost her left arm, the day she lost her best friend who she loved. The baby pressed her hand on Lute's chest, causing her to snap out of it. She looked down and hushed the baby while gently rubbing her leg.

Lute quietly: " It's okay... Momma just.... Thought of a really bad day she had..."

Later that day, the baby lay on the ground with a few toys, she drooled on them as Lute paced around, trying to figure out what to do next after hearing that information.

Lute's thoughts: " A meeting with the Higher Ups? Are they bring the Exterminations back? Please tell me they.... Wait, it came from Gabriel and Remiel, those two always spread Bullshit around Heaven and get under skin."

Lute looked out her window to God's temple.

Lute's thoughts: " I mean.... It wouldn't hurt to go over to check on what's going on... It-it's just to make sure this is just Gabriel and Remiel drama and nothing else..."

Lute opened her closet and dig her old uniform out, she hadn't worn it since she got pregnant, and she did had some trouble putting it on, but is did still fit. A little snugged, but it still fit. She then looked back at the living room where the baby was still on the floor with her toys while cooing and slightly giggling.

Lute: " Ummm... Should I take her with me or ask someone to watch her? Or do I leave her on my bed while I'm out.... No! No! She's my daughter and she needs me. I can't leave her alone."

Lute went to the baby and scooped her up, she giggled a little as she played with Lute's hair as she looked at the door and back at the baby. Over in the meeting room of the temple, God held a meeting with many of his children, Eve, Abel, Seth, Aclima, Saint Peter and many other Higher Up Angels.

Michael: " I thought we been over this and decided to go with the Binding Deal we made with Lucifer. Why are we going through with this again?"

Gabriel: " And I say we still do it because no other Sinner ended up here like Pentious."

Eve: " Just because it haven't happened again since Pentious showed up doesn't mean that it wouldn't happen again. You need to be patient."

Abel: " Yeah, and the Exorcists already turned in their weapons after dad's death. I don't want to spill anymore..... Blood."

Abel felt a bit dizzy just thinking about blood, Saint Peter looked over and supported Abel slightly. Remiel and Gabriel shifted over at each other and smirked.

Remiel: " Well, not EVERY Exorcist."

Eve: " Oh no. No! No! NO! We are not dragging Lute into this!"

God let out a sigh and stood up, causing everyone to go quiet.

God: " Michael and Eve are right, we have to follow the Binding Deal. I may not like it like a handful of you, but we must follow it."

Gabriel and Remiel rolled their eyes, before anyone else could say anything the door flung open. Everyone jumped by the sudden noise and whipped their heads to the door, surprise to see who open it, which was Lute. She had a bag full of baby stuff hanging on her shoulder and the baby strapped on her chest.

Lute: " I hope I'm not too late."

Chapter 13: Meeting

Summary:

After deciding to go to the meeting, Lute brings the baby with her to see if what Gabriel and Remiel were spreading around was true or not.

5 Minutes before the going to the Temple, Lute stumbled over with a baby bag and her daughter strapped to her chest in her carrier. She brushed her hair with her fingers to make herself look more presentable, tried to put some makeup on to hide her bags under her eyes and she brought a energy drink to keep herself up. She quickly finished it and slapped her face slightly before looking down at the baby and held her little hands in her.

Lute: " Alight you, momma is going to share some thoughts she had for a good while to other people you haven't met, so I'm going to need you on your BEST behavior. No scream, no crying and no making me feed you while we're in the room. Got it?"

The baby just cooed before putting a binky in her mouth.

Lute: " Good."

Lute rubbed her face one last time, took a deep breath and pushed the doors open.

Lute: " Sorry for being absent for a while."

Everyone whipped their heads around and were surprised to see Lute here with her baby strapped onto her chest.

Half of the room: " LUTE?!"

Eve: " Lute, what are you doing here?! You're supposed to be taking it easy!"

Lute: " Oh, I decided to put that on hold and get back to my duties after hearing someone mention the Exterminations."

Lute glared at Gabriel and Remiel, both looking around for a minute and acting like they didn't know what she was talking about. Lute then took a seat in Adam's old spot, a few Archangels lean over to one another, whispering about Lute, a few didn't know she gave birth or were even pregnant.

Aclima: " You look like Shit."

Lute: " I honestly don't know what you're talking about."

Abel: " Yeah, no offence but you look terrible. When was it the last time you got a full night sleep?"

Lute: " Please, I'm fine and who needs eight hours of sleep? Sleepings for the... Weak!"

Eve covered her face and shook her head while sighing. Gabriel, Remiel and a few others lean over to look at the baby, aside from Eve, Abel, Aclima, Seth, Emily, Saint Peter and Sera a few times were the only ones who got to meet the baby, and the others were a bit curious to see her since she's the first baby to be born from Winners. Lute tried to ignore them and the baby looked a bit uncomfortable, Lute looked down and gently rubbed her baby's back.

Gabriel: " You sure this is Adam's kid? She's so........ Small."

Remiel: " And quiet. Hard to believe she's even Adam's kid, maybe you were given the wrong baby."

Eve and Lute rolled their eyes, most of the room did the same, already tired or the two being snarky already. The two just smirked.

Remiel: " You know, I kind of thought you were going to have more than one because how big you were, Lute."

Gabriel: " Plus, she's tiny while Adam was a huge, loudmouth, Fat-Ass and she somehow made you the same size as him. *laughs*"

Lute face heated up and punched Gabriel off their chair. Remiel pointed at her sibling on the floor and laughed.

Abel: " Hey! Don't Be Rude Or Talk To Lute Like That!"

God just rubbed his eyes and let out a sigh.

God: " Lute, sit down. Gabriel! Remiel! Both of you knock it off!"

Remiel scoffed and rolled her eyes, Gabriel snarled a bit as they pulled themself back up.

Gabriel: " Why didn't she get yelled at?! She punched me!"

God: " And you were basically asking for it. So sit down and be quiet before I decide to whip your Ass as well."

Gabriel gulped and quickly sat down. Remiel looked away and snickered before God shifted towards her.

God: " That goes for you too, Remiel."

Remiel fell silent and sat on her hands. God then looked over at Lute.

God: " Lute, I thought you agreed on taking a break for a while till you're ready to handle your schedule with your baby."

Lute: " Which I am. And I just want to share what's been on my mind since my time off and let me say, it's a lot."

Michael: " It better not be about you still upset about the changes going on or you ranting about Hell again."

Lute was quiet for a moment but shook her head.

Lute: " ... Like I said, I've been gone for a while and just want to catch up. Also, I heard the Exterminations might be coming back."

God let out a long sigh and rubbed his face slightly, a few looked at each other with worried looks because even with makeup on, Lute looked exhaustive and could collapse at any minute.

Lute: " Relax, I'm still functional and I'll only step out to change and feed her. So let's get back to what your were talking about before I showed up."

Seth: " We might as well let her stay. You out of everyone knows when she decides on something, she sticks to it."

God rubbed his face and sighed once again, but continued the meeting. Lute would nod a bit, pinching her arm or pricking her leg with a pen to stay awake. The baby squirmed and yank on Lute's hair a few times, but at least she wasn't cry, at least not yet. Lute did have to leave a few times to change and feed her, but would always go back to the meeting. A few of God's children lean over and tried to get the baby's attention, Lute tried to ignore them and focus on what God was saying. One of his youngest daughters, Camuel, couldn't take her eyes off of the baby and had a big smile.

Camuel: " She's So Cute, Lute!"

Lute: ".... Uh huh..."

Camuel: " What's her name?"

Lute: "...... Hmmm?"

Camuel: " Her name. What's her name?"

After hearing it the second time, Lute eyes fling open, realizing she never gave her baby a name, she mostly called her "Grabby Hands" because how many times she grabbed her hair or feathers. Lute slapped her face.

Lute quietly: " Shhhhhit! I completely forgot to name her! What is wrong with me?!"

The baby got fussy again and Lute had to step out to calm her down. Lute stay out longer for this time, pacing back and forth while rubbing her back.

Lute: " Come on. Come on. We agreed on you behaving while we're here."

While trying to get the baby to calm down Azura noticed them and she came running over.

Azura: " Lute! What are you doing here?! Oh, you bought the baby with you! Are you showing her around?"

Lute: "... Something like that. I heard there was a meeting and decided to see what's going on."

Azura: " Oh, well why didn't you tell me, or Abel, or Seth, or Aclima, or Emily, or Peter, or mama to watch her? That way you don't have to worry about her while the meeting is going on."

Lute groan slightly. Azura looked worried, right away knowing Lute was barely staying away, a big smile then showed up when she thought of something.

Azura: " I Know! Maybe I can show her around Heaven more so you can have a break."

Lute: " No."

Azura: " Please?"

Lute: " No!"

Azura: " Pretty Please?"

Lute: " No!"

Azura: " Ppppppppppppllllllleeeease Lute? I'll be supper gentle and it'll only be for a little while."

Lute glared at Azura for a while before sighing and slowly unstrapped the baby off of her and hand her over to her sister. Azura face lit up seeing Lute was actually letting her take her new sister with her.

Lute: " 10 minutes. You may have her for 10 Minutes."

Azura squealed as her sister was place in her arms, the baby reached up for Azura which got her more excited.

Azura: " Don't worry Lute, I'll take care of her for you. Come on baby sister, let's go to some of my favorite places in Heaven!"

Azura rushed off while giggling a bit when Lute called out for her.

Lute: " 10 Minutes And You Bring Her Straight Back To Me, Got It!! And Watch Her Head!!"

When Lute went back inside, the others right away asked about the baby.

Eve: " Lute, where's the baby?"

Lute: " Your other daughter has her."

Eve and a few others sighed in relief. After sitting back down and the meeting went on, Lute nodded off shortly after getting a moment of peace, and falling asleep in Adam's old chair. Everyone looked over and were a bit caught off guard seeing that Lute fell asleep.

Eve: " Lute?"

Eve gently nudged Lute and Gabriel poked her face for a moment, Lute shifted slightly but stayed asleep. She leaned back in the chair, passed out and started to snore a bit. God facepalmed and stretched his eyelids down slightly.

God: " OH ME DAMN IT!! I should have told her to leave the moment she stepped in! Can someone please take Lute home so she could get ACTUAL rest?! I give her maternity leave and what dose she do? Throw It Right Out The Window!"

Eve and Michael got up, they put Lute's arms around their necks and took her home.

Eve: " *sighs* This girl. Rather tire herself out than asking for help for almost 2 months now."

Michael: " That's Lute for you. She RARELY does anything else outside of working out or training when she has a free day. Well, expect when Adam was around, he used to drag her around to skip work."

Eve nodded as she unlocked Lute's door with her spare key, the two walked over to her bed and placed Lute down in her nest.

Eve: " This girl really has to ask us for help for her to have a long-needed break. She still has to take care of herself after all."

Michael: " *nods* We might as well also tell Azura that her playdate with her sister will be longer than expected to let Lute rest for the rest of the day."

Eve nodded as Michael headed out, Eve gently brushed Lute's hair and sighed slightly. She knows the struggles of a being a new mom and she WANTS to help Lute, but she keeps refusing it. She doesn't want her to tire herself out and hardly take care of herself while trying to take care of her baby.

Eve quietly: " Rest up, Lute. We'll handle the rest and the hard stuff till you're ready."

Chapter 14: Her Name

Summary:

After waking up, Lute spends more time with her baby and doesn't know if her daughter likes her or not because how quiet she became after being watched by her siblings.

Lute curled up in her blankets, it's been a good while for her to finally relax and be wrapped in warmth longer than half an hour to a few hours. Lute stretched her arm out and placed it on the other side of the bed, but her eyes flung open when she felt around for a moment. She jolt up and looked around, terrified to see her baby wasn't next to her as always.

Lute: " Baby? Baby!?! Wh-Where's My Baby?!"

Lute got tangled in her blankets and fell out of bed, she quickly flipped over and looked around for her baby. She right away looked under and around her bed, think the baby might have accidentally rolled off, luckily, she didn't. Lute sighed for a moment, but if her baby wasn't in her room, where was she? Lute jumped up and grabbed her prosthetic as she ran out of her room. She couldn't have gone far since she wasn't close to crawling and her feathers still hadn't grown her feathers yet. Lute started to get overwhelmed.

Lute: " No-no-no-no! No! Please God! No! Where is she?! She can't be gone! Did Someone Take Her?! I Swear If That Snake Had Anything To Do With This, I'll..."

Before Lute could run out, she froze seeing four figures in her living room, who turned out to be Abel, Seth, Aclima and Azura were sitting on her couch and floor with the baby laying on the floor while playing with some toys.

Abel: " Lute, you're up."

Lute slowly turned her head and was very confused to see the four in her home, but she shook her head and rush to her baby. She scooped her up and showed her with kisses, relieve that she was alright, she glared at the siblings shortly after though.

Lute: " What are you four doing here and who told you, you could come in?! And You! You scared me half to death!"

The baby giggled as Lute went back to kissing her.

Azura: " Sorry Lute, we should have said that we were going to watch Feathers for a while for you to sleep."

Lute: " What? How long was I even out for?"

Aclima: " Almost a whole week."

Lute: " A WEEK!? Why Didn't You... Wait, Feathers?"

Abel: " Yeah, since she likes to grab feathers and hair, and you still haven't named her yet, we just started calling her Feathers."

Lute: " I'm Not Naming Her Feathers!"

Seth: " It's more of a nickname, and you STILL haven't came up with a name for your kid? It's been 2 months."

Lute: " I...... Okay, I'll admit it. My head haven't been screwed on completely right now because of everything. But it'll come to me.... Probably... But that's doesn't mean you can break into my apartment and steal my baby!!"

Seth: " *scoffs* "Steal" is such a harsh work. It's called babysitting and you should say "Thank you for going out of the way to watch over my baby while I sleep." And boy, I thought the Fat-Ass was a crybaby, no wonder you passed out the moment she was out of your arms."

Lute rolled her eyes as Seth and Aclima chuckled, but Lute did feel better to finally get her sleep in and to finally have her energy back. After Abel and his siblings left, Lute decided to work out a bit since she got her energy back, this would give her the chance to finally get rid of her baby fat. She looked over and the baby quietly lay on the floor, Lute haven't heard her this quiet since she was in the hospital. She usually was fussy for almost the whole day or screaming. Lute would always look over at the baby to see if she was alright because how quiet she was.

Lute: " I'm not used to you being this quiet... What did your siblings do to you when I was asleep, huh?"

The baby just looked over at her mother and just cooed with a smile. While Lute continued to work out, tons of thoughts ran through her head. Why now her baby decided to be quiet? Did Abel and his siblings do something while Lute was out? Was it her? No, surely not, the baby loves her, surely she does. Lute looked over at the baby, she was drooling over her toys when she looked over at Lute and smile. Lute smiled back but felt terrible, she didn't realize now that she seems to enjoy work more than being around her daughter. She doesn't know why she doesn't seem that interested in being a mother, was that normal? Why was she even thinking these thoughts, was something wrong with her? There has to be, why else would she like to work out or do her duties more? She didn't even give her a name. What kind of mother doesn't even think of names for her child? Lute stopped exercising and looked at her hands, she was shaking a bit before scooping the baby up, hugging her. The baby was confused but still rested her head against Lute's chest slightly. Later, Lute decided to go shopping for some more supplies, the baby got a bit fussy but Lute was able to calm her down by rubbing her back and giving her small kisses on her head.

Lute: " Its-its okay. Shh, shhh, shhh. Just need to grab some more dippers and groceries."

While shopping, a few stopped to look at the baby and would either say how cute she was or congratulate Lute, which was nice at first but it just made Lute feel uncomfortable and suffocated. She even had to cover her ears for a moment and rush out of the area. What is going on? Why was this bothering Lute so much? I didn't make sense. Lute's breathing started to pick up and she snapped out of it when the baby tug on her top and reached out for the shelves.

Lute: " Wh-what? What is it?"

Lute looked over to see what the baby was reaching for, on the shelf was full with toys but the baby was only reaching out for a lamb plush.

Lute: " What? The lamb? Do you... Do you want it?"

Lute grabbed the toy and handed it to the baby, she squealed and giggling when Lute brought it towards her, causing Lute to smile herself. After finishing shopping, Lute hurry back to her apartment, she just wanted to go home, she almost had a panic attack in the store and just want a minute to collect herself. When she stepped inside, she found Abel and Saint Peter inside, causing Lute to sigh.

Lute: " I'm not even going to ask why you're here or how you got in because I'm starting to think you and the others made copies of my key to let yourselves in my place."

Abel rubbed the back of his neck and shrugged with a nervous smile. Lute handed the groceries to the two for them to help put them away as the baby played with her new toy.

Saint Peter: " Hi Feathers. Were you good for you mommy during your day out?"

The baby held out her new toy and Peter just chuckled.

Saint Peter: " Oh, did you made a new friend?"

Lute looked down for a moment before unstrapping the baby from her chest, Abel noticed the shift change.

Abel: " Are you okay?"

Lute: " Huh?! Oh.... Ye-yeah... I'm fine..... I think I'm going out for a bit, could you... Could you two watch her for a while?"

Saint Peter and Abel jolt hearing Lute asking them to watch her baby while she stepped out for a moment. They looked at each other for a moment before Abel walked over and held his hands out.

Abel: " Ye-yeah... Su-sure... We-we can do that."

After passing the baby off to her brother, Lute stepped out and decided to fly around a bit to get used to using her wings again. She couldn't stop thinking of the big smile the baby got seeing Abel and Saint Peter, sure she smiles at Lute too, but her smile was bigger for them than for Lute. Lute got a bit teary-eyed as she sat on the steps of her apartment, she was crying quietly now, she didn't know what was wrong with her or what she was feeling, there's have to be something wrong with her to love work more than her own child. After a while, someone came up to her, who turned out to be Eve.

Eve: " I hope someone is inside watching your little one. Taking a breather?"

Lute quickly wiped her eyes and looked up at Adam's formal wife.

Lute: " You could say that. And Abel in with her with the Twink."

Eve: " Oh leave Peter alone."

Lute: " ...... Hey, can I ask you something?"

Eve was quiet for a moment, Lute looked away, expecting her to leave but Eve sat next to her and shifted her hand slightly, telling her to ask away.

Lute: " *sighs* So there's my work routine and training, right? I'm use to working like a machine and till my body burns because it's my job to protect Heaven, and that make sense to me and I enjoy it... I don't... I don't feel the same with my baby... I don't know if I'm feeling what I'm suppose to be feeling with her... Of-of course I love her! Of Course! But.... But I don't know if I Love-Love her... Does that make me a terrible person? To even think of something like that about their own child? I don't know why I feel like this, is there something.... Wrong with me?"

Eve was quiet for a moment, listening to what Lute had to say and think of what to say to comfort her.

Eve: " Did you love everyone in the Angelic Army?"

Lute: " Of course. They're Ad.... Were Adam's girls and it was up to me to make them strong."

Eve: " No you didn't, but you put up with them because it was your job to take care of them, right?"

Lute: " Uhhhh yeah... Where is this going?"

Eve: " What you're going throw is something called postpartum depression, and it's completely normal for new parents to go through. Because of your hormones are resting themselves after being scrambled for a few months, your brain is trying to figure out how to do everything you did daily and how to take care of the baby all at once, and it makes it harder to think clearly while your emotions are a bit scrambled. But it'll go away, not all of it, but enough for you to think clearly while adapting to your new routine. You can't go through this alone and act like everything is fine when it's clearly overwhelming you, that isn't healthy, it's not healthy bubbling up everything, you do that it'll all come bursting out in the worst time."

Lute: " But... But if I do that... I'll show I'm weak..."

Eve: " Who told you that?! That is incorrect and it's good to cry, it shows that you're human, and it doesn't make you weak crying or ask for help, it makes you stronger because you're accepting you can do it alone. But you basically have a new job now, and it is a ruthless job. You don't have the time to waste second guessing what's better to do, you just do it. You don't need to be perfect with it, just know that it's good enough for you to care on with it, and that's the best you can do for the both of you. And you know what."

Lute: " What?"

Eve placed her hand on Lute's shoulder with a warm smile.

Eve: " You're doing great."

Lute was quiet, tears showed up in her eyes again, she really did need to hear that. After Abel and Saint Peter left, Lute got ready for bed with the baby, and as usual, she got fussy. Lute rubbed the baby's back before sitting down.

Lute: " Hey, hey, listen. Look."

Lute held out the baby's new lamb plush and moved it around, making it look like it was dancing. The baby stopped crying and looked at the toy, she started to giggle a bit and reached out for it. Lute looked over at her nightstand and put on some of her music. When the song Adam was playing for her before the battle went on, the baby seem to recognized it, Lute usually played it when she was pregnant and thinking about Adam. Lute sighed.

Lute: " You know, your daddy made almost all the songs we listen to. He was stupid and an Asshole.... But he was my stupid, Asshole friend who had good taste in music.... He was my only friend... You would have love him, and he would have loved you too."

Tears started to roll down Lute's face, the baby looked up and reached for Lute's face. She wiped the tears off of her mother's face and cooed as she gently played with her hair, causing Lute to smile. The baby then looked over at where Lute's prosthetic was attached to what was left of her left arm. Lute noticed and sigh before taking it off to let the baby see what was left of Lute's actual left arm. She brought the baby close to her shoulder and the baby gently patted it while looking at it and back at Lute a few times.

Lute: " Yeah, something missing, isn't there? Momma lost it while fighting off monsters.... But she lost something more important for her that day too."

The baby rested her head on Lute's chest while looking up at her. Lute looked down and cracked a small smile.

Lute: " *long sigh* You know, my own mother didn't plan on having me either and she.... She never did loved me and would remind me that every day when she was around. Making me believe crying wasn't allow and being aggressive was the only way to get things done and be strong, and I even treated some of the Exorcists like that because I believed her and followed that for a very long time. When I got older though, I realized that not everyone's mother were harsh on them and was always upset with them, it was just my mother. And because of how she treated and raised me, I have trouble showing emotions or have many friends, I don't know how to actually love people and express my emotions. I guess some people just don't deserve to have children, but I'm NOT her. I'm NOT going to let you go through the Shit I've been through when I was little, you don't deserve it. You deserve to be love, and I'm going to try to give as much love as I should have been given to you."

Lute looked down at the baby, she rubbed her hand before bringing it to her mouth to kiss. The baby rubbed her face into Lute's chest and wrapped her arms around Lute's neck, hugging her. Lute smiled as she rubbed the baby's back and tears rolled off her face. The baby yawned and rubbed her face, Lute lay down and place the baby next to her in the nest, she then wrapped her in some blankets before wrapping her wing around her.

Lute: " I'm going to protect you and take care of you. I promise. Good night..... Adalynn."

The baby looked over when Lute called her that, the name she picked for her, the name that she owns now.
