When she got next to her fiancé, Maria could feel their powers cocoon them. When Lucifer felt that, he began the ceremony.
“We gathered here to unify the powers of the incubi Baphomet and the succubi Maria Antonia. Their powers are mingling now and entwining into a cocoon around them, meaning that they will be one great power in Hell, and no one will ever disturb this bond.” Lucifer begun to wave his hands between Maria and Baphomet, urging their powers to unite. Maria and Baphomet gasped at the same time when each other’s tentacles entered into their hearts and souls. At that point, Maria could see Baphomet’s eyes redden and she could feel her eyes changing too.
“And now, demons. I pronounce you husband and wife. Baphomet, you may kiss the bride.”
Baphomet took Maria’s head in his big hands and kissed her with all his passion. “Now you’re mine, princess. I love you.” Maria looked into his fiery eyes with love. “I love you too, little prince.”
Turning her head, Maria could see Elena weep into Asmodeus’s embrace and she could hear her mother whisper “She is a grown up woman. Thank you Asmodeus for this gift.” Asmodeus hugged Elena whispering back to her. “It’s okay, my dear love. You did a great job with our daughter.”
Lucifer’s voice boomed over the shouts and hoots from the demons. “Now, let’s go into the First Circle to celebrate.” At that moment, Maria’s head whipped to Lucifer. “My King, what about my mother? I want her next to me, but she is human.” Lucifer smiled at her daughter-in-law. “It’s okay princess. She may come in Hell when she wants. She married Asmodeus just to be sure that she could come to you in Hell.” At that moment, Maria’s jaw hit the floor. “She what?”

In the First Circle, the party was rockin’ and Maria felt happy. But at the same time, Maria felt like passing out. She was extremely tired. She clung onto Baphomet and whispered “Love, I think I am going to faint. I am exhausted.” Baphomet’s eyes widened at his wife. “What’s happening princess?” She could see Baphomet’s horrified look before everything went black.
Maria woke up in a bed, naked with Baphomet next to her in a chair. She felt her mouth parched. “Water.” Is all that she could say. Baphomet jumped from his seat and got her some water. “Easy, princess. You had a rough night. How are you feeling?”
Maria could see the worry lines onto his beautiful face. “Now I am feeling better. Why have I fainted?” At that moment, she could see Baphomet’s face-splitting grin. “Because you were exhausted by the baby. That’s why.”
Maria felt the color from her face draining. “I am pregnant? How? What? When?” Baphomet took her hands into his. “Well, we haven’t used any condoms and you weren’t on birth control. Aren’t you happy?” Maria could see him frowning, and could hear the hurt from his voice. She smiled weakly at him. “Of course I am happy, my love. I was just shocked. And I had hoped that we’d wait a little until we’d make a kid. But I know that it will be a great demon or demoness.”
Baphomet blew a breath he held and smiled at his wife. “Yes, princess. We’ll be the best parents ever. Now let’s enjoy our day.
EPILOGUE
AFTER 1 YEAR AND 9 MONTHS
“Baphomet! Take care of Julie while I am going to the tattoo shop! I have an appointment with your father.” Maria yelled after Baphomet from their baby’s room. Baphomet came barreling into the room and hugged Maria before she went to the shop. “Can’t believe that our little girl is 1 year-old.” He watched the little blonde with black eyes demoness with love into his eyes.
The next day they had a big party for Julie’s birthday. Everyone was invited, and they throwed a big party for the little girl that came into their life when no one was expecting.
Maria
I still remember mom’s face when I told her that I was pregnant. She cried for an hour and kept telling me that she loves me and that she is proud of who I am. At that moment I looked at her, wiped her eyes with my thumbs and hugged her as hard as I could.
“Mommy I am so happy that you married dad. Though I am still mad about you hiding this from me. “She looked at me and grinned. “I couldn’t tell you, princess. Because your wedding was coming and I really wanted you to have your own day.”
She hugged me only like my mom could hug me.
After that I could see dad coming into the room. I turned glaring playfully at him and told him that I am still mad at him for not telling me that. But when he came next to me and told me how Irina’s face was priceless, because that bitch wanted her mother married to Asmodeus, I felt a little better.
The tattoo shop was huge now. I actually trained Nadia to become a tattoo artist, and I must say that the girl has talent. I am very proud of my sister. She and Belzebut are the ‘godfathers’ of my daughter. And now I found out that Nadia is expecting a baby too.
The ‘Second Circle Pub’ was a huge success. Baphomet had to extend it and now is a huge place with two bars where it is full everyday. I am so proud of my husband.
Who would have thought that before meeting my father my life was so dull? Now I am happy, married and have a lovely princess in my life.
