Though he was continually advised against it, Mchi epted Satan''s request for a spar.


    As a result, the guys'' night moved from the Man-Cave back home, to the decrepit colosseum where the original king of wrathys his head at night.


    No one could remember who''s idea it was to start cing bets, but at some point the men brought out a folding table and started piling it with their best items or keepsakes.


    The only one who didn''t participate was Belphegor. The guys all agreed that he didn''t have anything good to put in, so he wasn''t allowed to ce a bet.


    He was silently cheering Absalom on, hoping that the rabisu would rob their friends blind of everything they had.


    In the midst of their gambling, there was suddenly a change on the battlefield.


    Mchi entered a strange state where his body became eerily simr to Nyx''s.


    It waspletely made of shadow, with only stars and nebs within itself. The head of a monstrous tiger had reced his handsome mug, and four sentient serpents swung from behind his back.


    It was an interesting look.


    Abaddon was anxious to see how Mchi would fair against the man who was basically harm given flesh.


    But before he got to watch anything, he felt his phone buzz inside of his pocket.


    Checking the message, he felt his heart sink and his anxiety soar.


    We need to talk.


    He would have shit himself if he still had bowels.


    "Be back. Tape this for me."


    Asmodeus raised a brow. "We''re not in front of a..."


    The former demon lord''s words fell on empty ears as Abaddon teleported away without staying to hear them.


    "It''s fine, I know what he meant." Darius pulled out his phone and started recording.


    Murmurs unconsciously slipped past his mouth as he watched the fight get underway.


    "Come on, kid... Help your new Uncle Darius get his hands on some of these bastards'' best shit..!"


    -


    Abaddon reappeared in his bedroom back home. Just for good measure, he brought a bottle of wine and roses.


    "Whatever you think I did... I didn''t do it."


    Lillian was sitting on the bed- sandwiched between Erica and Sif.


    The girls had their hair up in scrunchies and they were all wearing either oversized shirts that just happened to be his, or bathrobes.


    To their credit, the girls were able to maintain theirposure for atleast a little bit.


    But once one of them cracked, they all did.  And soon they were falling all over each other giggling.


    "I told you he woulde quickly!"


    "Aww, look at how cute he is. I think we scared him."


    "The flowers were a very sweet gesture, hon... Have you actually done something and we don''t know about it?"


    The look on Abaddon''s face bordered between exhaustion and deeply, deeply held relief.


    "So... You didn''t actually need to talk about anything then."


    Lillian held out her arms and made a helpless expression. "We just needed you... We missed you."


    Abaddon almost felt every bit of his willpower crumble as he dropped the wine and flowers on the ottoman and got into bed with them.


    His arms slipped around Lillian, and she purred against his chest like a cat.


    The other girls wormed their way into his embrace too, and it wasn''t long before he was only aware of the softness of their bodies and the smell of their shampoo in their nostrils.


    He honestly couldn''t remember what he was doing beforeing here.


    What was more tantalizing than breathing in the air of these beautiful women?


    Why would he ever decide to leave their lovelypany whe-


    "We found a new romance reality show earlier. Will you stay and watch it with us?" Erica asked hopefully.


    Ah. He just remembered why.


    "Don''t make that face." Sif pinched him. "We sat through every bit of that old show with that exterminator who wore ck leather."


    Abaddon raised a brow. "What do you mean you


    sat


    through it?? It was so interesti-"


    """Abaddon."""


    "Fine, fine...I''ll be back after Satan finishes beating up Nyx''s son."


    """WHAT!?"""


    "Long story." He shrugged.


    Abaddon started to kiss the girls goodbye.


    But a simple, small gesture soon turned into a slightly more intimate moment when their kiss persisted for just a couple of seconds too long to just be a parting gesture.


    Temperatures steadily rose. Certain body parts had natural and obvious reactions.


    Abaddon and the wives hadn''t had sex ever since Lillian first became pregnant several months ago.


    Was it hard? Yes, but it had to be done. Ever since Thea told them that she remembered what it was like to grow inside of Sif''s stomach, they hadn''t wanted to take the risk.


    It was hard, but they had been able to manage so far by not allowing themselves to be tempted. (Which meant that everybody had to wear clothes to bed.)


    However, tonight there were just too many slip ups.


    The girls were half dressed, and smelling wonderful, Abaddon was missing his shirt, plus he''d been drinking a bit, and Sif had bit his lip just a couple of seconds ago.


    This was dangerously close to how Lillian even got pregnant in the first ce.


    "...Umm.. My loves..?"


    Everyone took their hazy eyes off of one another and wiped their lips of drool.


    They turned towards Lillian and found her cheeks were practically red with embarrassment.


    "I... I..."


    The trio looked down. There was arge wet spot underneath her.


    "...Are you that pent up, or are we just that attractive?" Erica joked.


    Lillian almost looked mortified. "Umm... I believe that my water has just broken."


    It was almost funny how quickly Abaddon became limp and the girls dried up.


    Though the mood was suddenly a lot more tense, the group remained calm. They had twelve children already, so they had been through this plenty of times before.


    "I-It''s alright, Lili, just take some breaths for me, okay..? Let''s get you lying down." Sif said warmly.


    Together, she, Erica, and Abaddon got some dark towels under her and made herfortable.


    Erica quietly called for the rest of the girls, who were either scattered around the house or out in one of the cities of Tehom.


    They didn''t have to wait for more than five seconds before they started appearing in the room one by one.


    Even though she was about to undergo a very big moment, Lillian somehow still found the time to make jokes.


    "You''re all behaving like you''re worried about me. Since when do any of youe into our room quietly..?"


    The girls smiled wryly as the room began to fill up with the faces of loved ones.


    "Don''t make fun of us right now... Let''s get you taken care of first." Valerie smiled. (She was the most guilty ofing into the bedroom with her volume set to max.)


    One by one, the group all circled the bed while Abaddon remained at Lillian''s side,


    It was funny, he had long stopped feeling pain, but with the way Lillian was crushing his hand right now, he almost felt like wincing.


    "Alright, my love, we''re all here now. Anything that you want to say before we begin?" Abaddon asked.


    "Umm..." Lillian looked down at her stomach and then back up at everyone''s faces.


    "Please don''t stare too much..?"


    "Denied." Everyone said at once.


    "Bitches.."


    With Lillian finally resolving herself, everyone locked hands as she prepared to start pushing.


    "I-I want to have another baby!"


    Several jaws fell open as everyone turned to stare at Erica, who was covering her own mouth in shock.


    "I... I-I''m sorry, I know we agreed that this would be thest one, but I just-" Explore new worlds at mvl


    Lisa squeezed her hand. "Hey, hey, hey. It''s alright, love. No one is upset with you."


    "Let''s talk about that after we get this little one out first, alright?" Lah smiled.


    Erica nodded her head shyly.


    With everyone focused on Lillian once again, the birth could finally get underway.


    - 1 Minute And Thirty Seconds Later...


    "...That was easier than I thought it would be. Some of you made me feel like it would be much harder."


    Lillian was holding a healthy, freshly wiped down, adorable baby girl. Exactly 7 pounds and 7 ounces of pure joy and affection.


    Tatiana felt a vein bulge in her forehead. "You got lucky. The twins nearly split me in half."


    Sif: "Thrudd weighed more than twice this little one. And you didn''t have to worry about her horns poking you on the way out."


    And just that quickly, the group was somehow back to normal.


    Audrina: "Hey, this means we can have sex again tonight, right? And I can start back sleeping naked again?"


    Bekka: "Okay, I know this might feel a little out of ce, but is anyone else just a little bit hungry?"


    Abaddon chuckled as he kissed Lillian on the forehead and rested his temple against hers. "You did so well."


    Lillian gushed adorably.


    This nice family moment was suddenly halted when there was suddenly a series of hard knocks at the bedroom door.


    Abaddon''s blood ran cold when he heard Nyx''s serial-killer voicee from just outside the room.


    "Abaddon... May I speak to you for just a moment,


    friend?"
