"Pregnancy sucks," Eve muttered, her gaze fixed on the sleepy form of Y/n while Jake sat at the edge of the bed. Lucifer, standing nearby, couldn't help but interject.

"You're always so defensive when it comes to pregnancies, women," he remarked, his words laced with a hint of mischief. Eve's head snapped toward him, her eyes blazing with fire.

"Are you messing with me now? Have you forgotten how it felt?" she retorted, her tone filled with a mix of exasperation and genuine frustration.

Lucifer hissed in response, the tension between the couple palpable. Jake watched them, a child once more, unable to recall the last time they had agreed on anything. Their constant bickering was a constant backdrop to his life.

Amidst the verbal sparring, small hiccups escaped Y/n, causing both Eve and Jake to redirect their attention to her. Lucifer quietly exited the room, leaving the trio to their own devices. Y/n's voice trembled as she spoke, her head throbbing with pain.

"My head hurts so much," she murmured, her words a reflection of the physical toll pregnancy was taking on her body.

"Don't worry, sweetie. It's just the pregnancy hormones," Eve assured her, her hand tenderly patting Y/n's head. At that moment, she emanated a maternal aura, providing solace and a sense of home. Y/n found herself drawn to Eve's caring presence, feeling a connection that went beyond her demonic nature.

A brief silence hung in the air before Y/n turned her gaze to Jake. Concern etched across her features, she asked, "Are you feeling okay?" The worry in her voice was evident, her desire to ease his suffering unyielding.

"I'm okay when I'm with you," Jake replied, his voice filled with sincerity and a touch of vulnerability.

"What about what that woman said?" Y/n inquired, her curiosity piqued.

"You mean Sarah? She believes I need to apologize to our child, to mend our relationship," Jake explained, his gaze fixed on their intertwined hands.

A furrow formed on Y/n's brow as she processed the information. "Wait, a son? What do you mean?" Her confusion was apparent, her mind grappling to comprehend the weight of their situation.

Eve interjected, her voice gentle yet filled with profound knowledge. "You are actually pregnant with a son. Both Lucifer and Jake sensed it."

Y/n's eyes widened in disbelief. The notion that these powerful demons could perceive the nature of her unborn child sent a shiver down her spine. "Do all demons have this ability?" she asked, seeking further clarity.

Eve shook her head. "No, only these two. They possess exceptional power." Y/n's brows furrowed once more, contemplating the implications of her child's lineage.

"And how will Jake mend his relationship with our son?" Y/n inquired, her voice laced with a mix of curiosity and concern.

Eve's response was enigmatic. "That's for him to discover," she said, her hand tenderly patting Y/n's head once more. Despite her demonic nature, Eve's warmth and familiarity felt comforting, like a mother figure offering guidance in the face of uncertainty.

The sound of hunger rumbled from Y/n's stomach, abruptly interrupting their conversation. "Guess we need to feed you and your baby," Eve chuckled, rising from her seat. "Would you like me to give you a tour of the palace?"

The mention of food caused Y/n's eyes to light up, temporarily distracting her from the whirlwind of emotions that had consumed her since arriving in Hell. She was a bundle of conflicting anger, confusion, and newfound revelations. "Are you okay with that?" Jake asked, seeking her approval.
