Full House

I do not own Hazbin Hotel nor do I own the characters or the settings.

**TRIGGER WARNING** I’m not really sure if this calls for a trigger warning or not but just to be safe. The birth is depicted in this chapter. It is not super graphic but there will be a bit of birth trauma.**

______________________________________________________________________________

“I’m…um…I’m pretty sure my water just broke.”

The spider demon’s upper hands come up to pull at his hair anxiously as his lower hands clench into nervous fists, “Oh, fuck…oh, shit!” Angel paces the room as he thinks out loud, “Okay…we practiced for this!”

“Angel…”

Angel stops pacing the room and looks at Husk’s terrified face, “We already got ya bag packed so I’m gonna go tell Charlie it’s go time while ya put on some dry clothes.”

Husk nods as he looks at the wet spot on the sheets, “But…it’s still leaking out.”

Angel waves the bartender’s concern away, “There has been way worse spilled on these floors, trust me.” The spider demon rushes to the closet to grab Husk’s bag and then heads to the door, “Just get ready to go while I let everyone know.”

The cat demon nods again as he reaches for the robe Angel had given him a few days ago. Angel then hurries out the door with Husk’s hospital bag in hand. It doesn’t take them long to get to the medical clinic, but by the time they arrive Husk has to stop every few minutes to try and breathe through a contraction.

Husk lets out a groan of pain as a strong contraction surges through his womb, “Ah! Th-This is…bullshit…ah, fuck!”

Angel and Charlie try their best to keep Husk upright through the contraction, but the bartender can’t stop himself from doubling over from the intense pain. Luckily, someone in the clinic happened to see them struggling and emerges from the building with a wheelchair. Angel, Charlie, and the clinic employee manage to help Husk into the chair finally getting him into the building.

By the time Husk gets checked in and is in a room, he’s having back-to-back contractions with little to no breaks in between, “I…ah…I can’t fucking do this…ah!”

Charlie rubs his trembling paw as Angel helps him get in bed. The blonde hotel owner continues stroking his paw as he suffers through another contraction, “You can do this, Husk! Just think about how this will all be worth it once you see those sweet little babies.”

Husk shakes his head as he glares at Angel, “I can’t believe I…ah…I let ya knock me up…uh…w-with fucking…ah…fucking twins!”

Angel knew better than to argue as the medical team entered the room. Charlie heads for the waiting room as they mention checking how much the bartender is dilated. The nurse quickly checks and glances at the doctor, “He’s at nine and one hundred percent effaced.”

Angel looks around confused, “What does that mean?”

The cheerful nurse looks at him with a smile, “It means he’s almost ready to push.”

Worry shows on the spider demon’s face, “Already?! He’s only thirty-five weeks!”

They can hear Husk panting and moaning in the bed as he’s being hooked up to IV’s and monitors. The nurse gives Angel a knowing look, “Due dates are just suggestions…you will soon find that baby’s do as they please.”

Once the bartender is hooked up to the fetal monitor they can see just how intense Husk’s contractions are by the readings on the screen. Angel tries his best to comfort his lover but he finds there’s really nothing he can do, “Husky, you’re doing so good, baby.”

Husk closes his eyes as another contraction rips through him and he grips the sheets tightly in his claws, “Ah! Son of a…bitch!” He opens his eyes and glares at Angel, “Don’t you ever…ah…ever let me drink any…any unlabeled shit again!” The contraction subsides and the cat demon releases the bedsheets, “And if I do then we’re sleeping in separate fucking rooms!”

Angel nods as he strokes his boyfriend’s sweat slicked fur, “What can I do to help, baby?”

Husk feels another contraction building and he grips the sheets again, “Just…get these…b-babies outta me!”

The entertainer looks toward the nurse and she nods, “Let’s see if you’re ready to meet these little cuties yet.”

As the monitors beep and Husk groans in pain, the nurse puts on a new pair of gloves before checking the cat demon once more. She smiles as she removes her hand and looks from the two nervous demons then to the doctor, “Fully dilated and fully effaced.”

The doctor nods as other nurses begin moving incubators and other equipment into the room. Husk gives Angel a desperate look and the spider demon takes his lover’s paw in his hand and kisses it, “You can do this, Whiskers.”

Husk takes a deep breath in through his nose as tears leak from his eyes, “What if I can’t do it?”

Angel hated to see the tears roll down Husk’s cheeks, but he wipes them away, “It will all be worth it…all the symptoms, all the pain.” He gives the bartender a sweet smile, “Besides we’ll never see the surprise if ya give up now.”

Another wave of pain rips through Husk’s body and he squeezes Angel’s hand tightly, “Don’t …l-leave me, Legs!”

“Never…I love ya, baby.” He caresses the cat demon’s soft face as the doctor and the nurse move closer to the bed, “Ya got this.”

The cheerful nurse looks at Husk with an excited smile on her lips, “You ready to meet these sweet babies?”

Husk doesn’t trust himself to speak, but he nods as he bends his knees to allow his legs to open a bit more. He swishes his tail to move it out of the way. The nurse stands by his side, opposite of Angel, as the doctor remains at the foot of the bed. The nurse places her hand on his knee as she speaks to him in a gentle voice, “During your next contraction, I need you to push as hard as you can and try to hold it as you count to five.”

Husk nods as he feels his next contraction begin to crest. The nurse looks at Angel and the spider demon understands the silent command as he puts a hand on the bartender’s other knee. As Husk pushes with the contraction, the nurse and Angel help him keep his knees bent and his legs back. The contraction ends and the cat demon takes in a shuddering breath, “I-I can’t do this.”

“Just a few more, Husky.” He kisses Husk’s paw again, “We’re so close to meeting them.”

Husk feels another contraction coming and takes in a deep breath. Angel and the nurse grip his knees once again as he whines and moans with another hard push. The doctor looks up at the nurse with a knowing expression, “A few more pushes like that and we’ll have a baby soon. I can see the ears.”

Husk lets out a shaky breath as he looks at Angel, “I can’t do it like this.” He looks at the nurse, “My…my wings…I keep slipping on the bed.”

She looks at the doctor and the doctor nods. The nurse then looks at Husk, “Please, find the position that works best for you.”

The bartender swallows trying to wet his dry throat as he moves onto his knees with help from Angel and the nurse. He then places his paws on the headboard just as another contraction wracks his body. He pushes with the contraction allowing more of the baby’s ears to show, but Angel can tell something is wrong by the look on the doctor’s face.

Angel looks at the nurse, “What’s wrong? Why does he look like that?”

The nurse notices Husk’s scared expression and the concern plastered to the entertainer’s features, “The baby is stuck…the combination of wings and arms are making it difficult for the baby to pass through.”

Husk lets out a frustrated groan and Angel rubs his back as he continues to question the nurse, “So what does that mean?”

The nurse gives the entertainer a serious look, “On the next contraction, I’m going to flatten the wings as close to the baby’s back as possible and I’m going to need your help.” Angel nods as she continues, “I need you to press the arms against the baby’s body as firmly as you can without hurting it.”

A determined expression plays across Angel’s face, “Let’s do this.”

A painful groan forms in Husk’s throat as a new contraction begins. The baby’s ears and head peak through as the nurse pushes a hand just inside to press her fingers against the wet feathers belonging to the tiny creature. As Husk continues to push, the nurse locks eyes with Angel and the spider demon presses his long fingers against the baby’s wriggling arms.

The doctor keeps his hands on the baby’s head as he addresses them all, “One more big push and we’ll have one birth down.”

Sweat pours from the cat demon’s face as his breath comes out in harsh pants. He can’t see Angel’s face from his position, but he can feel one of his lover’s hands on his lower back. He feels another contraction crashing into him and he pushes with all his strength. A feeling of relief washes over him as the baby slips free and the sound of tiny kitten mews fill the room.

Husk hears Angel’s awed gasp as the doctor speaks, “Congratulations! You have a little boy!”

Angel laughs beside him and squeezes his shoulder, “Ya hear that, Husk? We got a boy and he sounds like a little kitten!”

The bartender smiles, but doesn’t have the strength to respond as he feels another contraction starting, “I…I’m so tired…Angel, I…c-can’t…”

The contraction forces its way through him but he feels Angel’s hands massaging his lower back as he talks him through it, “You’re doing so good…I know ya can do it.”

When the contraction ends, Husk release the headboard and falls to his hands and knees as his wings flex in agitation, “Angel…please…I…ah!”

“I’m right here, baby.” The sound of Husk’s yells are mixed with the tiny mews from their son being attended to by the other nurses.

Husk pushes again and the doctor smiles, “We’ve got ears…a few more pushes.”

The cat demon loses the strength in his arms and drops to his elbows. With his next contraction, Angel and the nurse prepare themselves to help with the wings and arms. Several pushes later, they hear a new set of kitten mews as Husk falls to the bed in exhaustion.

The doctor holds the baby up and smiles, “More congratulations on your baby girl!”

Husk rolls onto his back to be able to see better. Angel is full-on crying and the babies are mewing loudly in the skilled hands of the nurses. The spider demon smiles down at Husk as he tries to wipe the sweat from his lover’s brow, “Ya did it, Husky! Ya did so fucking good!”

Husk can feel the small contractions of the placentas leaving him but as he looks at Angel his vision blurs, “Angel, I…”

The cat demon sees Angel’s lips moving, but no voice comes out, the beeps of medical equipment and mews of the twin’s fade. His eyes roll back as he feels a gush of fluid leave his body right before the room goes black, “Husk?! Husk?!”

Angel begins shaking his lover trying to get him to open his eyes. The sheets between Husk’s legs are soaked with blood as the bartender’s body begins convulsing on the bed. Before Angel has a chance to react, the doctor and several nurses surround the bed. The spider demon is pushed out of the way as more nurses fill the room. Finally, a familiar voice speaks to him and he turns to see the cheerful nurse only she doesn’t look so cheerful right now, “What’s happening?”

She pulls Angel away from the throng of medical personnel surrounding Husk, “He’s losing a lot of blood and they’re doing everything they can.”

Angel tries to look over all the people, but he can no longer see his lover, “I…I have to be with him! I…”

“You have to give them space.” She notices Angel’s panic-filled face and grabs two of his hands in hers, “Follow me…too much stress isn’t good for your baby.’

“No, he needs me!” The entertainer pulls against her, but she’s surprisingly stronger than she looks.

She looks him in the eyes with her next words, “If you love him, you will let them help him.”

Fresh tears spill from his eyes, but he nods as he follows her out of the delivery room. As soon as they leave the room, Cherri and Charlie spot him. The cyclops knows upon first glance that something is wrong and makes her way to her distraught best friend. Angel lets go of the nurse’s hands and meets Cherri halfway. She throws her arms around him in a tight squeeze. Angel cries against his best friend as Charlie makes her way toward them. Angel could only cry and yearn for his lover to be okay.
