The Twins IV

"Ahh~"

Enthralled by her little coos, Iza reached her little arms up, her glistering eyes pulling me deeper in as an intangible connection formed between us. A bond that was similar yet different from the one I shared with Lilith.

"Izalith Snow," I named her pulling her to my nose. Curiosity flared over her doe-like eyes as she cooed cutely.

She'd felt so soft, so malleable, and defenseless that the need, the desire to hold her, protector, rushed out of me.

"Traditionally, the father will give the child to the mother," Ariel said, snickering. " You know the woman who was in labor for about a few hundred years. The one who forced about a six-pound child out of her. "

Pushing Iza to my cheek, I took a huge step back: "She's mine… Mine."

"Psss" Covering her mouth Lilith fell into laughter as her pale expression began to glow with life. She snickered. " Will the great Demon King Arsene Snow be simping for his daughter? You know we can't spoil them, right?"

Iza's coos grew even louder near my cheek, her warm smile simply melting me away. I chose to ignore Lilith. The moment I held Iza to the second I saw her smile… I knew. I knew everything my wife just said was true… I was going to give this girl everything.

"Go, way."

"Boy, give me my child so I can feed her." Lilith scolded, rolling her eyes as she squirmed. Wrestling uncomfortably.

"Actually, Arsene. Feed her some of your Breath or blood. Both works. Lilith is a little too vulnerable right now," Yahweh said, sending my mind into an alert state.

How did he know? I don't believe I've told him about my ability to use Breath.

I glanced at Ariel, but she only shook her head, indicating she didn't know either.

"It's fine, Arsene…."Lilith said weakly. "You can trust him… He…" Noticing the blood trickling down Lilith's nose, I reached for her shoulder, sending a sliver of Breath to her, frowning as my reserve began to fall past seventy percent.

The world was already beginning to feel murky.

Yahweh signaled with a smile to the ring on Lilith's finger, the one forged of the Breath I created on Eden.

He knew… He knew something that Ariel never knew.

And yet… Lilith said trust him. How odd.

"It's Ok, Papa!" Ty and Arkanos said, their large round eyes planted on Iza's adorable features.

Keeping my guard up, I drew power from the ring, transferring it to Lilith and Iza to help maintain their natural complexion. Fragmented glimmers of light trickled off the surface of their skin before fading altogether.

"Can we hold her?" Said the twin dragons.

"Promise not to drop her?" I said after some hesitation, unsure if I could trust these two. Two little mischievous dragons playing with a baby… what could go wrong? It's not like they aren't super sentient beings.

"Promise!" Said the two girls smilingly.

…

…

…

Minutes later, through the screams of Lilith, the Coo's of little Iza as she played with her sisters, I found myself lost. It was a bit odd. Newborns were supposed to sleep. Yet Iza didn't. In fact, I couldn't sense any sort of exhaustion. Yet she refused to sleep.

Shit… aside from getting teary-eyed when I handed her off to her sisters, she was the perfect little princess.

"Hey, Lilith," I said through her screams, pushing the other little bastard out. " Why does Iza seem like an adult, but you crying like a—"

Punching me through the wall, a daze of light blinded me for a brief moment alerting the entire castle. Hundreds began charging to us as I sat up from the rubble, laughing.

"Fall back! Fall Back. The Queen is just in pain." I chuckled, walking back in and dusting myself off while cleaning up the blood pooling from my head. "You know violence is never the answer, Lilith."

"Arsene, if you say another ~AAAAAAAAAH~~ Word I swear i'll cut your balls off~AAAAAAAH"

"Come on, push! Ignore that idiot." Shouted Ariel.

"You can't ignore the sweetness," I told her, inching towards my wife with a teasing grin. I kissed her cheek just as the cries of my secondborn resounded through the realm. And just like with Iza, he tore apart the Myriad Heavens, slaughtering countless.

Honestly, I'm not even sure how we are alive right now, but here we were.

"Hmmm… I didn't get to cut the umbilical cord… Wait… He doesn't have one. Nor did Iza. I—"

"Oh, shut up. And get me, my child. I'll tell you later." Lilith hurriedly said. With such desperation, I couldn't help but comply.

Poised within Ariel's arms, the seraphim handed me the litter screamer that suddenly when quite like Iza in my arms.

His eyes were a deep burning red with hair all Snows held while carrying large chubby cheeks.

"Hi, Vesyrn Snow," I said to the boy as a connection bore its way into my heart. A sensation akin to what I felt with Iza.

The boy stared me in the eye as I narrowed mine: "I'm counting the days, boy. Me and you are going to box. That will be your coming of age rite." I promised, handing the boy over to his mother.

"The hell it is," she said, taking him into her arms as a bright smile flashed over his face.

"AH, She fell asleep!" Little Arkanos said, cradling Iza.

"She was waiting on Ves," Ty added, turning to me. She walked up, her eyes fixed on Vesyrn, who'd fallen asleep when he entered his mother's arms.

I took hold of Iza, placing her in Lilith's arms as she smiled, cradling the two infants already suckling at her tit like a bunch of hyenas.

"Get some sleep, Lilith. Get it while you can." I whispered gently as she grinned.

"I'm a Mama Bird." Practically fainting after those words, I covered her with a blanket, smilin' as dozens of her generals raced inside. Their eyes sparkling as they stared at their Prince and Princess.

"Let them sleep. Lilith and the twins are drop-dead tired." And I turned to Ariel cupping my palms as I bowed my head for the first time. "Thank you for delivering my babies and aiding my wife." Following my examples, the Generals did the same.

"We thank you!"
