But me and my husband
We're doing better
It's always been just him and me, together
So I bet all I have on that
Furrowed brow
And at least in this lifetime
We're sticking together
Me and my husband
We're sticking together

It was late at night and Vox was craving for some snacks especially since he’s eating for two, he is currently 3 months pregnant and his pregnancy craving is acting up. And before anyone questions why and how a sinner is pregnant, Vox doesn’t know either. He was just as surprised when he started to experience the symptoms of pregnancy.
The first time Vox got morning sickness and started vomiting, he spend a whole hour hunched over the toilet. Alastor was out during the time, so Vox didn’t really think to inform him about it as Vox thought that it was some food poisoning.
Then Vox kept vomiting in the morning and Alastor soon found out about it, he got very concerned and urge to seek medical attention. Vox begrudgingly did as he still think that it’s just a stomach bug. It wasn’t until Pride Ring’s most top doctor examined him and informed Vox that he is somehow pregnant.
“Carol, you are crazy to think that I’m pregnant of all things.” Vox said as he cross his arms.
The doctor overlord looked at him, deadpanned before placing the results on the paper; “Vox, I may not be fond of you as of now but trust me when I say that you are fucking 2 weeks pregnant.”
Caroline and Vox used to know each from back when they were alive. They used to be married just for the tax benefits and a cover up to their little murderous hobby. Til death do them part and now, they have a very complicated relationship especially since Vox might have fucked Caroline over in the past and the crow sinner is still bitter about it.
“Oh my fucking god— how is this even possible?” Vox questions
“I don’t know, go ask your man or something.” Caroline shrugs
“Oh my god, how will Alastor react to this? Does he even want children? What if he leaves me because of this?—“ and Vox just spiral into panic from there.
Caroline only rolled her eyes, “Well, just tell him and see how it goes from there. And if he doesn’t want children then I could adopt them, I always wanted children anyways.”
Vox took a deep breath in before nodding, later that night. Vox told Alastor the news, and the deer looks so happy that there were literal stars in his eyes. When Valentino and Velvette knew of it, they thought that Vox was going crazy.
Vox had to drag Caroline, who was in the middle of some research, to convince the other two overlords about his pregnancy. Caroline has to explain the two about how even she didn’t know how it happened but it was true that Vox is pregnant. Which brings us back to the current time.
Vox was really craving for something but he didn’t know what. He would have woken up Alastor but he didn’t want to bother him. Vox rummaged through the cabinets in the dark as he was simply too lazy to turn on the lights and the light from his screen was bright enough for him to see.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw something moving but didn’t think much of it. Maybe he was seeing things, that was before he heard something falling over and he looks at where the sound was heard. When Vox saw what it was, he let out the loudest scream he could muster.
“AL!! COME QUICK BEFORE I BURN DOWN THIS FUCKING KITCHEN!! THERES A WEIRD COCKROACH IN THE KITCHEN!!” Vox yelled
“Actually…I’m not a cockroach, I’m a cookie.” The cookie thing spoke
“AHHHH AL!! IT TALKS TOOO!!” Vox yelled
Alastor ran to to kitchen and turned on the lights to see what was going on, and saw Vox holding a bug spray in one hand and a lighter in another as he prepares to flame torch the weird bug on the kitchen counter. He approaches Vox and took away the makeshift weapon.
“Vox, darling. Let’s not do that first okay? You could have hurt yourself.” He says before looking at the weird creature, “What and who are you? What are you doing here?”
The talking cookie cleared her throat, “Sorry, I’m white lily cookie. And I’m a cookie. Also, I have no idea, I just woke up here. My last memories were me and my friends defeating an evil cookie.”
“How particular, so you died and woke up here?” Alastor asks
“Yes, that’s right.” White Lily Cookie nodded.
Vox looks so confused, “A talking cookie? How is this even possible? Which weird universe were you from anyways?” He asked curiously
“Well, in my world witches created us cookies…it’s a long story of everything that has happened but I might have an idea of why I’m here.” White Lily Cookies says softly as she looks down at the floor.
“and what might that be?” Alastor asked curiously, thinking about how the talking cookie would taste. Maybe bitter? Or sweet? Possibly a mix of both?
“Well, when I was alive and younger…I brought ruin and death to many other cookies as well as many kingdoms. I once wiped out the entire kingdom that belonged to my former friends before.” White Lily explains
“I have cause so many tragedies and even though I tried to make up for my past mistakes, I’m not surprised that I still ended up here.” The Lily Cookie mutters
“Wow, I didn’t think there would be a day where I would meet a sentient and talking cookie in my afterlife but Hell’s weird in that way.” Vox says as he went to gently pick the cookie up and hold it in his hands.
He took note of how small and fragile the little one was and he blames his maternal instincts for his next decision, Vox looks at Alastor before saying, “Hey, Al? Can we please keep her? She’s really adorable.” He says while giving Alastor puppy eyes.
Alastor looks at White Lily Cookie then look at Vox before sighing, he is really weak against Vox’s puppy eyes. He could never say no whenever Vox gives him those cute eyes, “Fine, Mon Cher. We can keep her.”
“Yay! Thank you, Al!” Vox beams brightly before looking at White Lily Cookie again, “So, what do you exactly eat?”
White Lily cookie thinks for a while before looking around the kitchen, “Well, I usually eat star jellies but I’m not sure if you have it here. Maybe you can make it? I think you only need sugar, gelatine and fruit juice or flavoured water.”
Alastor hums, “Sounds simple enough, I’ll go look for the ingredients in the morning. Let’s get back to bed.”
The couple made a makeshift bed with scraps of fabric for White Lily Cookie’s bed, so she can sleep peacefully. In the morning, Alastor went out to get ingredients for the star jellies and made some for the cookie.
As Vox’s pregnancy progresses and he had to stay at home more, he has more free time to do some arts and craft. So he made White Lily Cookie a dollhouse for her to stay in. The mom’s velvette found out about the little living cookie. She was quick excited to make cute little dresses for White Lily Cookie. So now, the cookie has her own walk in closet in her dollhouse. White Lily Cookie was having the time of her life but she started to feel very lonely.
Don’t get her wrong, she loves spending time with Vox and occasionally Alastor but she also wants to travel outside of the penthouse. She wants to explore the rest of the pride ring.
Apparently, her wish was granted one day when she was walking around her dollhouse and suddenly realised that some of the furniture in the house was getting smaller. It wasn’t that obvious but as the days past, she felt like everything was shrinking and her clothes got smaller. She brought up her concerns to Velvette when the social media overlord visited Vox and Velvette used her powers to refit the clothes on white Lily cookie.
Velvette would visit Vox once a week, to check up on him and just to hang out. As Velvette no longer sees Vox at work, plus she needs her gossip buddy. She would occasionally bring baby things as well. Valentino would visit as well, also to check up on Vox and update him on what is happening at the company.
White Lily Cookie never really thought about how she is growing bigger until she woke up, and she was the size of her entire bedroom.
White Lily Cookie was struck in an awkward position until Vox came to check up on her and quickly freed her. He placed her in the table, “oh lord, I think we might have overfed you.”
“Or maybe, I’m just growing and one day I’ll be ‘normal’ size.” White Lily cookie, suggested as she felt really hopeful.
“Maybe, we will have to see. Well then, it’s time for your breakfast. Come on then.” Vox says as he picks up white Lily cookie like a cat
Vox was now 6 months pregnant, he wobbles everywhere he goes now and gets tired very quickly. Vox used to gloat about how he’s a great white shark hybrid but now, not so much. As great white sharks are pregnant for 12 months. Vox is just half way through his pregnancy.
He sometimes cursed Alastor for getting him pregnant.
Vox also has gotten bored of just staying at home, as pregnancy has made his health much more weaker and he had to stop working at the 4 month of pregnancy. He was at least glad that he has White Lily Cookie to accompany him and his two best friends visiting him or he might lose his mind.
Now that White Lily Cookie is growing with each passing day, she starts to be less of a cookie and more of a sinner and by the time Vox was in his 10th month of pregnancy, White Lily is no longer resembles a cookie. She has goat like horns and eyes, she has gotten more of a goat features.
Her hair was so long and hard to keep up that she decided to cut it off, now its length is around her elbows rather than at her ankles.
Since white Lily is now a sinner, she helps around the penthouse. She tends to Vox’s needs and takes care of him as it’s hard for vox to move around. Sometimes, white Lily even assist Alastor at the Hazbin Hotel. Apparently, she’s a great therapist and listener.
Charlie asked if White Lily was keen on redemption and white Lily replied with “No, this is my penitence. I don’t deserve to see the pearly gates.”
Today was Vox’s due date, and he was send to the only hospital that the pentagram city owns. Alastor, White Lily and the nurses were all there in the room. Once Vox’s contractions started, he was yelling and cursing while holding Alastor’s hand in a deathly grip.
“Ah, fuck my life! I’m never letting you bed me ever again! I will cut off that deer dick once this is done!” Vox yells, “God, why why why—“
It was very chaotic.
In the end, the labour was a whole 14 hours. Since this was the first very sinner to give birth at the hospital, the nurses were rushing to get Vox to stop bleeding as sinners weren’t supposed to give birth and the nurses there weren’t that qualified to deal with such a situation. So Vox was losing a lot of blood, and time was running short.
Even though, sinners can’t die unless from angelic steel. No one is for sure what is the effects of prolonged bleeding, so they have to do something or else they might end up as dinner for the Radio Demon.
Caroline had to contact medical staff from the sloth ring to come help. She was ever so grateful for her business connections with belphegor all those years ago. In the end, they were able to stop the bleeding.
Alastor stayed by Vox’s bed the entire time, making sure that he is okay. Their newborn was currently been taken care off by the medical staff and White Lily was out getting some food for the couple.
Later on, Vox was given his baby girl. Caroline confirmed that the baby was healthy and that there wasn’t any complications. Though, she did imply that she would love to study more about the interesting specimen but Vox immediately shut it down and Caroline chuckled before leaving the family of 4.
“So, what are you both going to name her?” White Lily asked curiously as she looks at the infant in Vox’s arms.
“Well, I was thinking Mako—“
“After the shark species? No, we aren’t doing that darling. I would suggest an actual name like Isabel or Mary.” Alastor cuts off Vox
Vox huffs before white lily suggested, “Well, you could name her Mary and have her nickname Mako.” The goat sinner hums
Vox thinks about and nodded before looking at his husband, “What do you think, my love?”
“That sounds adorable, cher.” Alastor nods before placing a kiss on Vox’s head and a kiss on the top of their daughter’s head.
White Lily was so glad that Vox had decided to take her in and spare her life or she might have been eaten by Alastor. Yes, she saw how Alastor looked at her when they first met. She was so terrified that he might just eat her one day.
But that hasn’t happened yet, so she’s safe. Besides she has also gotten along with Alastor as well, something that White Lily didn’t want to admit was that she started to see the two overlords as parental figures. White Lily had never gotten any parental figures in her life back in the cookie world.
So this was the closest thing she experiences to a family and now, she has a baby sister.
