5 Weeks Later (35 weeks)

As the weeks went by, Angel slowly but surely began recovering from his various injuries and true to his word, Husk did not allow Angel to go back to the studio. It wasn’t for lack of Valentino trying. The moth demon somehow got Angel’s new phone number and spammed it daily with texts and voicemails, all of which were deleted by either the spider demon himself or Husk.

Husk could no longer stand for long periods of time and due to his increasing blood pressure, he’d been put on medication, a special diet, and bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy. The cat demon was not particularly happy about the diet or the bed rest, but Angel made sure he didn’t cheat by purging all his snacks and putting random hotel staff or residence on guard duty if the bartender was on his feet for too long. Husk found that he was pretty much confined to his and Angel’s bedroom anyway, considering none of his clothes fit him properly anymore. He couldn’t very well stroll through the hotel with no clothes on.

One evening, Husk emerges from the bathroom to find Angel snuggling Fat Nuggets on their bed. As the cat demon makes his way further into the room, Angel notices the odd look on his face, “What’s that look for, Whiskers?”

“Um…could you maybe…check something for me?” The odd look worsens on Husk’s face as his cheeks turn a soft shade of pink.

The entertainer sits up in bed as concern shows on his own face, “Is everything okay?”

Husk nods as he makes his way closer to their shared bed, “Do you remember Lucifer telling us about how the babies would be born?”

Angel’s eyes widen in understanding, “You don’t think it’s happening yet, do ya?”

“Maybe…” He lets out a nervous sigh as he once again looks at Angel, “Can you just look, okay?”

The spider demon notices the blush darken through his lover’s fur, but doesn’t mention it, “I mean, I can definitely check it out, but can’t ya just feel around down there?”

The former overlord gives Angel a dumbfounded look as he finally sits down on the bed, “Angel, I’m fucking massive! I haven’t been able to see or reach anything below the belt in months!”

“Right…sorry.” Angel holds up his hands in a gesture of defeat before standing up from the bed, “Then just lay down and I’ll look really quick.”

Husk nods as he lies back on the bed. He couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed. Sure, they had sex and had seen and touched each other everywhere, but this was different. Angel was about to possibly see a part of him that even he hadn’t seen before. The cat demon gets comfortable on the pillows, but he keeps his legs firmly together.

Angel slowly makes his way to the foot of the bed. At thirty-five weeks, the entertainer found that it took a bit more effort to get his body where it needed to be, “Uh…Husk? How the hell do ya expect me to see anything with ya legs clamped together?”

Husk scowls at his lover’s logic, but he really didn’t want to think about what might be down there for Angel to observe, “Just…give me a minute to get my mind right.”

The spider demon rolls his eyes, but doesn’t push Husk to hurry, “Ya know…it ain’t nothing to be embarrassed about.”

“That’s easy for you to say.” Husk runs a nervous paw over his face before looking at Angel again, “It hasn’t happened to you yet.”

The taller demon giggles softly at Husk’s embarrassed expression as he places his top hands on the bartender’s knees, “Maybe so, but it ain’t gonna change how I feel about ya and it is gonna happen to me eventually, ya know.”

Husk lets out the breath he’d been holding and closes his eyes as he allows Angel to part his legs, but before the bartender can fully relax under his lover’s touch, the entertainer lets out a loud exclamation, “Holy shit, Whiskers!”

The cat demon’s golden eyes snap back open as he gives Angel an angry glare, “Angel, what the fuck?!”

Husk attempts to close his legs again, but Angel uses all four arms to keep them spread, “Wait, wait…just let me get another look at it!”

“No! Get your fucking hands off, Legs!” A small struggle ensues with Husk attempting to close his legs and exit the bed as Angel continues trying to examine Husk’s new body part.

Unfortunately, with Husk’s bump being significantly bigger and Angel having more arms the cat demon gives up and allows the taller demon to take a longer look. Husk lets out a defeated groan as his face heats from even more embarrassment, “When Lucifer said it would be a vagina, he was not lying. I mean…it looks just like one except ya still got ya other bits too.”

Angel frowns slightly as he speaks his next words, “I really hope he’s right when he says it will go back to normal because it totally did shrink.”

A loud growl leaves Husk’s throat, “Stop fucking looking at it!”

The bartender finally catches Angel off guard and snatches his legs away from his grip before successfully pulling the cover over his lap. Angel notices the mix of embarrassment and anger on Husk’s face and he makes his way to join his lover at the head of the bed, “Aw, Whiskers…I’m sorry…I’ll let ya see mine when it shows up.”

Husk crosses his arms and looks away from Angel, “Are you going to let me make a big spectacle of it too?”

The spider demon bumps his shoulder playfully against Husk’s shoulder, “Okay, I acted like an asshole…forgive me?”

Husk returns his gaze to Angel’s face to find the entertainer batting his eyelashes at him. The bartender allows a small smile to escape his scowl, “Only because I love you.”

A big smile stretches Angel’s face as he snuggles against Husk. The two of them are quiet for a moment and Angel can sense the unease radiating from Husk, “You’re upset.”

“You know what this means.” He looks into his lover’s mismatched eyes with worry, “Lucifer said this would happen within two weeks to twenty-four hours before birth…that means…”

“That we’re gonna be parents soon.” The entertainer feels Husk’s paw slip into his hand and Angel squeezes his lover’s warm paw gently, “It always seemed so far away and now…”

“Now, we have two weeks or less.” An anxious sigh leaves the cat demon’s lips, “What if I can’t do this? What if I’m a terrible father?” He lowers his eyes down to his bump to see the twins moving beneath his flesh, “What if…what if we lose each other trying to be parents?”

Angel squeezes Husk’s paw a little tighter making the cat’s worried gaze rise back to his face, “We’re gonna learn how to do all this father shit together, Husky. Just like we figured out all this relationship and pregnancy stuff together.” He places a hand under Husk’s chin preventing him from turning away, “And, ya ain’t gonna get rid of me so easily.”

Some of the tension leaves the bartender’s posture and Angel leans down to place a soft kiss on his lover’s lips. When the chaste kiss ends, Angel releases Husk’s paw as he stands up from the bed. The golden eyed demon gives Angel a bewildered look, “Where are you going?”

“I got ya a little gift.” The spider demon makes his way to the closet where he disappears long enough to return with an article of clothing draped across one of his arms, “Since ya pretty much grown outta all ya clothes, I figured ya needed something to cover ya up.”

Husk actually sits up with a bit of interest as Angel makes it closer to the bed, “I’m listening.”

Finally, the entertainer holds the article of clothing out at arm’s length for Husk to see. A red robe with black trim is presented to the bartender, “It’s got ya name on the back and all ya cute little card suits on it and it can be worn as tight or as loose as ya want.”

A genuine smile graces the cat demon’s expression as he watches how proud Angel is of himself. Husk stands up from the bed allowing Angel to slip the robe onto his body, “Ya didn’t have to get me anything, Legs.”

Angel returns Husk’s smile as he watches his lover belt the robe closed around his expanded waist, “I know, but I figure the rest of the hotel won’t appreciate ya nakedness as much as I do…plus, ya can wear it after ya have the twins too.”

“Thanks, Angel.” He steps to the mirror to look at the robe a bit better. He’d been avoiding the mirror for months and as he looks at his reflection he actually smiles. No matter what happened, he and Angel were connected forever because of their children, “We’ll be meeting them soon.”

Angel nods as he embraces Husk, pressing their bumps together gently, “I can’t wait.”

As Angel continues to embrace him and the kicking of the babies continues, Husk finds that even though he was totally out of his element, he too couldn’t wait to meet the little souls that had brought he and Angel so close together.

The next day, they made an emergency appointment to have Husk checked out. The exam showed that the twins had dropped lower and he was about three centimeters dilated making the cat demon be on very strict bed rest. Angel had yet to develop any extra birthing anatomy but did discover that baby Starr was head down and in the correct position when the time arrived.

A few days later, Husk was still sitting at three centimeters and Angel realizes there are still a few things they need before the babies arrive. Vaggie agreed to make sure/bully Husk into remaining in bed as Angel, Charlie, and Cherri leave the hotel to get all the last-minute things the soon-to-be parents would need. Husk sits on his and Angel’s shared bed with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face as he watches Angel get dressed to leave with Cherri and Charlie, “Why do you get to go and leave me here?”

The spider demon puts on a few outfits and after turning in front of the mirror a few times, he vetoes each article of clothing. He bends over to look in the dresser drawer unaware of Husk eyeing his ass the whole time, “Well, I’m not three centimeters dilated, on bed rest, with possible preeclampsia.”

The bartender’s scowl worsens because he knows Angel is right, “How long will you be gone?”

Angel raises himself back up and examines the shirt he’d found in the drawer, “How should I know? I guess whenever we find everything we need.”

“I…I don’t want you to leave.” Husk hated feeling this way, but ever since his ‘extra part’ showed up he’d felt this weird need to be by Angel’s side at all times.

The entertainer slips the shirt on over his head and nods with approval as he looks in the mirror. He could sense his lover’s unease, but he didn’t know how to help, “Baby, you’re only three centimeters with no contractions yet. I think you’re gonna be fine for a few hours.”

Angel walks to the closet to look for some shorts as he continues trying to soothe Husk, “Besides, Vaggie, Alastor, Lucifer, Niffty, and Baxter will be here if anything happens.”

The cat demon’s angry scowl turns into a pitiful pout, “Why can’t they just go and you stay here?”

Angel finally slips some shorts on that he approves of before turning to look at his lover’s pouty expression, “Husk, I don’t know why ya being clingy as fuck here lately, but I’ll only be gone a few hours tops.”

Husk gives Angel another pout turning his face away in upset, “I can’t help it…it’s just a weird instinct or something that keeps telling me not to leave your side.”

The entertainer stifles a giggle as he sits on the bed wondering how in Hell he was ever going to get his boots on with his bump in the way. He finally decides to just put his feet in them and get Cherri to zip them for him before they leave, “After today we should have everything we need and ya can cling to me as much as ya want.”

The ex-overlord hated this feeling of vulnerability, but it was true that he couldn’t explain the instinctual need to cling to his lover, “Fine, but try not to make any detours.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Angel bends down next to Husk and gives him a kiss on the lips, “See ya soon, Husky. I love ya.”

Husk’s pout remains but he returns the kiss all the same, “I love you too, Legs.”

With that, Angel rubs Husk’s belly with a smile, “Don’t give papa too much trouble while I’m gone, kids.” The spider demon grabs his purse and heads out the door leaving Husk to fume in bed alone. 

Several hours later, Angel and the others return from shopping. Cherri and Charlie convince the other staff and residence to help them move everything into the hotel as Angel makes his way to his and Husk’s room to check on the bartender. Maybe, Husk wasn’t still too upset about Angel being gone so long, “Hey, Husky! I’m back!”

Angel walks into the room expecting to see Husk still scowling in bed, but upon first glance the spider demon doesn’t see his lover anywhere, “Husk? Is everything okay?”

He continues looking for the cat demon by walking into the bathroom, but when he still doesn’t see his lover, he exits the bathroom to see Fat Nuggets staring at something on the opposite side of the bed, “Hey, Nugsy…whataya see?”

Angel makes his way around the bed to finally spot Husk on his hands and knees looking under the bed, “Um, Husk? What the actual fuck are ya doing? Ya didn’t hear me calling ya?”

Husk flinches when he hears Angel’s voice and when his golden eyes look up, he seems truly surprised to see the entertainer standing over him, “Angel! When did you get back?”

“Are ya serious right now?” He gives the bartender an astonished look, “I’ve been calling ya name for five fucking minutes.” Angel then points to the floor, “And what are ya doing on the floor?”

Husk’s cheeks turn scarlet as he looks from Angel’s curious face then back to the space between the bed and the floor. He felt foolish for what he was about to ask, but something deep in his bones told him it made perfect sense, “Do you think I’ll fit under here?”

Angel’s curious expression changes to confusion as he opens his mouth to speak then closes it again as he tries to process what’s happening, “Under the fucking bed?”

Husk nods and Angel continues to give his lover an even more bewildered look as he tries his best to understand what is going on, “Husk, ya weren’t gonna fit under there before ya got pregnant and ya sure as hell ain’t gonna fit under there now.”

Even though the cat demon looks embarrassed, he still frowns, “Are you sure?”

“Husk…sweetie…” He puts his lower hands on his hips and crosses his upper arms, “Why exactly are ya trying to get under the bed in the first place?”

Through his embarrassment, Husk still manages to look at Angel as if the answer should be perfectly clear, “To have the twins…”

Angel blinks a few times as if trying to figure out if Husk really said what he thought he did, “Whiskers, ya ain’t having the twins under the fucking bed!”

The bartender finally gives Angel a confused look, “Do you think the closet will be better?”

Angel’s eyes widen at the seriousness on Husk’s face, “Are ya shitting me right now, Husk?!”

The bartender shifts to sit on the floor instead of kneeling as he gives Angel a look of intrigue, “Do you have a better spot in mind?”

“Oh, wow…you’re serious!” The spider demon helps his lover to his feet and then looks Husk directly in the eyes, “You are going to give birth at the medial clinic surrounded by people who know what the fuck they’re doing! Not under the goddamn bed!”

“But…”

“Husk, no!” At this point, Angel remembered the nurse at the clinic telling them they may show more animalistic nesting behaviors. It all made sense now why Husk was so clingy and why he was trying to find hiding spots to give birth, “Baby, ya inner feline is taking over right now.”

“Huh?”

Before Husk can ask any more questions, Angel takes his lover’s paw in his hand and leads him to the other side of the bed, “Listen, just lay down…on TOP of the bed. Ya need rest.”

“But, Angel…”

“Husk, just get back in the bed.” The entertainer manages to get the cat demon back on the bed where he hands him the remote, “How about ya find something for us to watch and I’ll go get us some snacks. We can snuggle and relax and forget that ya were fucking planning on having out kids under the bed.”

Husk eventually concedes and turns the TV on with a nod, “Okay…how long until you get back?”

“Not long.” He gives Husk a wary look but heads toward the door, “I’m just getting snacks. I’ll be right back.”

Husk nods and the spider demon leaves the room in search of snacks. When Angel returns, Husk is still in bed, but the TV is still on the start screen, “What’s the matter? Ya didn’t see anything ya wanted to watch?”

 The bartender gives Angel a look filled with panic as the remote drops loudly to the floor, “I…uh…I don’t think we’ll have time for a movie.”

“Whataya me…” Angel’s eyes finally land on Husk making him drop the snacks to the floor, “Husk? Why is the bed all wet?”

A shaky breath leaves Husk’s mouth with his next words, “I’m…um…I’m pretty sure my water just broke.”
