Parenthood was never an easy path...
Motherhood specially, but the love and connection between one and their child...Was a bond strong and unable to be broken
Blood never mattered if the emotional ties are unbreakable...
I sanged a soft lullaby, rocking Nero in my arms as the little boy couldn't sleep in his crib
"Uhm, mama's spoiling you..." I mumbled
Nero didn't liked to sleep away from me, he loved the human heat and the skin to skin contact and i understood that...It was a key part for the emotional development and trust built
I walked back to my bedroom, laying down with Nero on my chest and turning the lights off...I kept humming the lullaby, his little fist curled into my pajama shirt
I kiss the little boy's head, the mess of white/platinum hair tickled my cheek
"Uhm...Maybe you look like your mama or your daddy...Pretty blue eyes, platinum hair...But you're all mine, baby" i cooed at him
Laying down, Nero sleeps on my chest, i put pillows around the bed and let my eyes close
The wind blews outside, calmly...Letting me and Nero dream calmly
**Time skip, 2 year old birthday of Nero's**
I giggled as Nero smashed the cake i decorated for him, i snapped photos of the moment to get on the photo album. I decided to celebrate his birthday on a nearby park, it had some nice picnic tables and enough grass to set up a picnic towel
"Mama! Mama!" Nero tried to offer me smashed cake from his little hands
"Oh? For mommy? Thanks baby" I smiled and took a piece of the cake with a spoon
Time had flew fast...I barely blinked and Nero was already two years old, very friendly at preschool...Specially with a little girl called Kyrie
"Happy birthday, baby..." I kissed Nero's forehead
The little boy laughed, that cute laugh that probably gave life to fairies or something this cute...Everytime i looked at Nero, my heart melted and i felt like on the right path with him
I cleaned up Nero's hands and face from the cake, feeding him his baby food and some water...I felt us being watched but decided to ignore the feeling and get us home as quick as possible
I packed Nero's little bag and placed him on my arms, the path was quick and it wouldn't take long if i went by walking
Started to walk back home, looking over my shoulder but founding nothing but the wind blowing and the chirp of birds
I started to walk faster, placing my keys between my knuckles...I had to protect my baby, he was my priority
"Uhm, mama..." Nero snuggled his life face in my chest
"Mama's here...Mama's here, nothing will happen" I mumbled
I walked faster, reaching home and closing the door...Locking it loudly
The air seemed to freeze, everything turned quiet...Too quiet...
Nero slept in my arms, i gulped and went upstairs
Placing Nero on his crib, watching him one last time...I close the door, grabbing a gun in hide inside a locker (away from Nero's grabby hands)
I clock the gun...Hearing a growl outside, i freeze on my steps. The growl turns louder, the door breaks down
I scream and point the gun at the...
It was awfull, to be fully honest...It was a fucking ugly motherfucker
I didn't think twice, i shot it...Once, twice, thrice
All times in the head and the thing agonized like a wounded animal
"Ssssssspaaarda...." The thing spoke in a agonizing voice
I shot it again, more and more until the gun emptieded...I panted and hear Nero cry upstairs, i drop the gun and rush upstairs
I slam the door open, my babyboy crying
"Mama! Mama!!" My son cried and rocked inside the crib
I panted and grabbed Nero in my arms
"Shiu Shiu Shiu, im here im here honey" i rocked Nero in my arms, my hands shaked without control and i could feel the tears in my eyes
That thing, dead at my living room...Like one of the demons that slaughtered the city two years ago
"Is over baby, mama's here...Im gonna keep you safe" i kissed his head, rocking him in my arms
I couldn't understand...Those things were back? Maybe to end what they started years ago? But no other incident was reported or no warning was given by the mayor
After calming Nero down, i got downstairs...The thing had evaporated but left behind smell of rotten flesh and dark blood on my tiles
I open the windows and doors to try and get rid of the smell, it felt suffocating...I stared at my broken door and the chaos around me, i didn't knew what to do...And what the fuck was 'Sparda' that the demon mentioned before dying...
And the worst part? I had no idea where to start and who to ask for help...
**Time skip, one week after the incident**
I picked up Nero at Preschool, thinking about what Tasha told me
"I heard about a man that calls himself a demon hunter...Couple of years back, he helped protecting a girl called Patty from a bunch of demons that were after here" Tasha spoke during our coffee break
"Think he would help? Such services sound expensive" I sipped a cappucino
"I mean, it can be expensive but if those things are coming back, we might need all the help we can get" She shrruged and took a bite of her pastry
"And where does this hunter lives then?"
"From what i asked around...He lives in Red Grave City, not too far if you go by car"
I kept driving, looking at Nero from the car mirror
Little one was tired from playing with Kyrie all day, he was babbling about it during the car ride. I smiled at the scene and looked back at the road
Nero was building a speech pattern by now and he was a quick learner...The teachers praised him for that and for how kind he was, i felt happy at that
I parked infront of the infamous shop, i take a deep breath and turn off the car. Covering Nero with his blanket, i put him in my arms, grab his little backpack and close the car door
I knock on the door and open it
"Uhm, excuse me?! Is anyone here?" I asked getting in, the door closes behind me
The shop was...Cozy in a messy way
Some old pizza boxes, some adult magazines on the floor and a well conserved juxebox on a corner
"Welcome to Devil May Cry, how can i be of assistence?" A male voice speaks and startles me
I jump a little and look ahead, seeing an older man sat at behind an office desk...He scarily looked a lot like Nero but it must be a coincidence, i hope so
"Uhm...A friend of mine told me about your services" I reply
"All good things, i hope" He winks at me
"The demon-hunting service" I spoke deadpan
The man chuckled, and nodded
"I know, i know...Just trying to break the ice, name's Dante...Whatcha need" He leans back in the velvet chair
"Uhm, okay...Two years ago, the city of Fortuna suffered from a massive demon attack, dunno if you heard about it" I approach
"Well...A one week ago, i was celebrating my son's birthday at the park and...One of those demons followed us home, it came out if nowhere and i felt scared for my baby and..." i started to hyperventilate, taking a moment to recover myself
"Easy easy...Have a seat okay? This must be overwhelming, mama" He smirked a little, offering me a chair
I sat down and fixed Nero in my arms, covering my son with his blanket
"One of those things broke into my house, i locked Nero in his nursery and grabbed my gun-"
"A pretty mama like you knows how to shoot?" He commented smiling
"...Out of all i said, THAT was the part you got interested in?" I said deadpan
Nero whinned and curled into my chest, i rocked him slowly and couldn't miss the way Dante was looking at my son
"Anyways...I shot one of those things, filled up with bullets but one thing was confusing to me. The demon spoke a name before dying" I looked at Dante
"What name? That could give me a clue to where to start investigating" The hunter grabbed pen and some old paper
"The demon said the name Sparda before dying, do you know what that means?" I asked, rocking Nero as he started to get a little fuzzy maybe it was time for his dinner
Dante stopped for a moment, like his whole body freezed...He slowly looked at me, his expression didn't gave away his thoughts
"Sparda? Are you absolute sure?" He asked me, firmer and something else on his voice
I nodded and fixed Nero on my arms, taking out the juice bottle from his backpack and giving it to Nero. The little one suckled on the bottle, lazily but hungry
"Yeah, absolute...The demon spoke of Sparda before dying in agony" I said
Dante stared at Nero, finally looking at my son and accessing him
"Sparda was the name of a demon knight, who rebelied himself against Mundus aka the King of Hell...Sparda sealed the Gates of Hell, he choosed humanity instead of Hell. Sparda falled in love with a human, he had twin sons" Dante explained, a dark gaze upon his eyes
I looked as Nero finished his bottle, putting the empty bottle on the table and helping Nero burp
"What that has to do with my son and i?" I asked
Dante sighed and kept going with his story
"Im one of those sons. My name is Dante Sparda, i have an older brother called Vergil and by looking at your son, i can tell he has Sparda's blood running through his veins and the demon that attacked your home was after him because of who his father and grandfather are" Dante explained with a serious tone
I felt shivers down my spine, like someone tossed a bucket of cold water over me. Nero burped and snuggled into me again
"What...? My baby is part of Sparda's bloodline?! Are YOU his dad?!" I asked, trying to not freak out due the
Dante's expression became panicked
"Woah woah woah!! I-Im not his dad, i would remember knocking up a gorgeous woman like you!" He was trying to explain himself
"What?! I-Im not Nero's bio mom, but that doesn't matter!" I said feeling my face warm
Dante stopped for a moment, sighing in relief
"Oh Gods...Okay...Okay that's reassuring, but that would meant that Nero is Vergil's son" Dante said confused and looking away for a moment, i couldn't decipher what emotions where going on his face
"Vergil? Your brother?" I said as Nero slept in my arms, when his tummy was full the sleep came easier
"Yeah...That would be it, making Nero my nephew" He sighs and pinch his forehead
"So...Those demons are after my son because of who his family is?" I asked
Dante could only nod at me, it was the only plausible explanation
"I...I apologize, miss" He felt the need to say it
I frowned at that, sighed at his apologies for something he couldn't control
"Is...Is not your fault, Dante. You couldn't have know that Vergil had a son or that demons would come after him. Is not your fault, Dante" I said to ressure him
My apologies seem to have an effect on him, his shoulders got loosen and his posture seemed to become less guarded. He nodded and gave a weak smile
"You said he's two?" He asked about my son
"He's two, has a nice speech pattern...He likes bedtime stories and loves the moon, his favorite fruit is strawberry" i said like a proud mama
Dante watched Nero sleep, a smile on his face
"You're doing a great job, mama bear...Nero's lucky and i promise to do my best to keep him safe, both of you safe" He vowed and looked at me
"Thank you, Dante...I really mean it" i said softly
Nero's family expanded for now...
But part of me hoped his dad never came around or else he'd get an earfull from me
