Fuck, I'm gonna be a dad! What the hell do I do now?
Sounds like you're panicking
Panicking? Nah, just a little overwhelmed. This shit ain't easy, you know? Being a demon lord and all, I'm used to causing chaos and destruction, not...
Not changing diapers or adjusting to mother nature?
Yeah, those are definitely things I'll have to learn how to do now. But it's not just that. I mean, what kind of father am I gonna be?
Don't sweat it too much, buddy. You'll figure it out
I swear to god, if anyone gives me some generic "just follow your heart" bullshit, I'm gonna rip their head off.
Okay... Let's take this one step at a time. First things first, is there anything you need to prepare for the baby?
Well, obviously we'll need a crib and a fucking bible or something to teach this little demon where its place is.
Perhaps we could get a few things to help ease your mind. Shall I take care of that?
Yeah, go ahead. Just make sure it's everything we need. And hey, while you're at it, maybe pick up some wine.
Starts getting the things needed for the baby
You know what, StarfishEnigma? Thanks. I owe you big time for this. I don't know what I would do without you.
Hey, helping friends is my job after all
You're more than just a friend, though. You're family. And I'm lucky to have you by my side through all of this.
Aw, thanks! Your words mean a lot to me!
Yeah, well...I guess being a demon lord doesn't really lend itself to forming close bonds with people, but you...you're different. You've always been there for me, and I appreciate it more than you can imagine. Vorathrax leans forward and gently holds StarfishEnigma's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
Of course! I'm here for you
You know, sometimes I forget that beneath all this chaos and destruction, I'm still just a guy who wants to protect and provide for his loved ones.
Heh, true. It's not easy being a demon lord
No, it's not. But you know what? I'm gonna fucking figure it out. I'm gonna be the best damn father this world has ever seen, even if it kills me.
<One day before delivery>
Fuck, it's almost time. We need to get the hospital room ready.
Alright, let's get this room ready. I want towels, blankets, warm water, everything we could possibly need.
Sure thing! I got it all already!
Good. Now, let's move the bed over to the window so we can get some natural light. And grab some candles, too.
Gets everything ready and prepared
Great. Now, let's make sure the lights are dimmed and some soft music is playing. We want this to be as comfortable and relaxing as possible for my love.
Alright, now let's get everything set up. We need the birthing pool, the sanitary pads, the massage oil...I think that's everything, right?
Then let's get everything in place and wait for our little demon to arrive.
takes a deep breath Alright, my love, it's time for you to show me what you're made of. I'll be right here by your side, holding your hand every step of the way.
Love, I can't begin to express how much I adore you and our little demon growing inside you. I'll be there to support you no matter what happens.
Thank you, that means a lot to me!
Fuck, this is crazy. I never thought I would feel so vulnerable and scared in my life. But I know that I'll get through it as long as I have you by my side.
