Valentine's Day was upon Hell… Ah… What a holiday that was derived from a double-edged sword… Or arrow in this case. On the surface, it seemed all good, amazing even! What was wrong with a holiday meant to show how much you love and appreciate the people you care about? However… Underneath it’s loving nature… Lied a nasty pool of expectations… superficiality… artificial emotions… And well, greed… And that is precisely why Asmodeus hated the holiday… However, that all changed when he met his darling queen. His precious Fizzy made what was once a disgusting, toxic, saccharined holiday into something amazing… Something to cherish and look forward to… Oh, what a wonder his amazing Fizzarolli was… and just when he thought he couldn’t make the day any more special… His darling queen brought into the world the eternal holder of their heart… Their precious little girl… So, naturally, when Velencia’s first birthday arrived, Fizz and Ozzie ensured that no expense was spared to make her day the best it could be! They got her a custom bunny-shaped lemon meringue cake, which, of course, was made by Bee herself. Along with hundreds of gifts for her to enjoy as the three of them celebrated her finally hitting the milestone of her first year of life… And honestly, Fizz and Ozzie enjoyed the fact that their baby’s special day was on a day such as this because it was perfect for such a little bundle of love… Oh, she was unknowingly rewriting history… “Almost… And… DONE! What do you think, Oz?” Fizz asked as he and his husband looked at the birthday banner he just put up. “I think it looks perfect, Froggie! Our perfect little bunny is going to love it!” He responded as he bent down to kiss his husband on the forehead. “Aww, you think so, babe?” The Queen of Lust asked as he turned back to the decoration with glittering eyes, causing the king to laugh. “Think so? I know so, my love! She is going to be so happy to see it! Though, I'm sure she would love anything you put up there.” He continued with loving smiles. “That may be true, but you can’t deny that our baby girl deserves the best of the best, Ozzie!” “Oh, of course not, Froggie! She definitely deserves it! Hell, if it were up to me, I would say she deserves all of Hell on the finest silver platter!” “Awwww!! Ozzie! That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard! You're such a loving Daddy!” Fizz cooed as he wrapped his arms around his husband and cuddled into his chest. “And you're such a loving Mommy…” Asmodeus responded as he hugged him back. The parents rested that way until they checked the time and saw it was time to wake up the birthday girl herself. With excited smiles and a quick kiss, Fizz and Ozzie ran down the hallway to their daughter’s nursery. After quickly approaching the doors, the two took in quick breaths to calm themselves down before smiling lovingly as they opened them together. Once inside, the parents walked over to Velencia’s crib and melted upon seeing her cuddled up with the white bunny stuffy her dad got her when she learned to sit up by herself for the first time… Ah… How time flies by so fast… But that was for later. After watching her sleep with the most loving gazes Hell had ever witnessed, Fizz and Ozzie reached one of their hands in and rubbed both of her cheeks to wake her up. Soon, the little princess began to stir and flutter her adorable little eyes… When she finally opened her eyes, she was greeted with the adoring smiles of her parents. Leading her to smile lovingly up at them as she let go of her bunny, and reached her arms up to them. Which was accompanied by her sweet little coos. Fizz and Ozzie melted even more… If that was even possible at this point. “Good morning, Baby girl… Do you know what today is?” Fizzarolli asked with kissy noises and a baby voice as he leaned into the crib, picked her up, and held her in his arms before raining kisses on her face. “Today is your birthday, Honey… And you're turning one year old today. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you…” Asmodeus cooed lovingly as he picked up his husband and daughter. The family rested in a loving embrace for a few minutes, soaking in as much love as they possibly could. After they were done, the rulers of Lust smiled down at Velencia, who, in turn, smiled up at them. “We love you, Sweetheart.” The two said in unison before leaning down and kissing her on the forehead. The baby giggled before reaching up and hugging her parents' faces. “A wuv oo!” She replied as she began to purr and snuggle closer. Fizz and Ozzie couldn’t help but tear up a little bit from those words. While yes, she said that sentence all the time since she learned to speak a week ago… The parents knew in their hearts that their sweet little princess knew and meant every word, making it all the more special that their little Princess of Love was forever celebrated on Valentine’s Day. Her authentic and powerful feelings brought out the true spirit of the holiday. After resting in their love for what felt like not long enough if you asked them, Ozzie walked them all into Velencia’s closet, where, naturally, the birthday girl called the shots. Though that didn’t take much time considering, little Velvey seemed to already know what she wanted to wear… Her favorite bunny jacket, with a darling bow to match. The parents, of course, cooed and loved on her as they got what she wanted and changed her into it. After adding her signature bow, Fizz and Ozzie walked over to a mirror to show her how adorable she looked. “Look, little bunny! That’s you, Sweetheart!” Her mom cooed as he rained kisses on her cheeks. “Aren’t you just the cutest little thing alive, Baby! How do you feel?” Her dad asked as he leaned his head down to do the same. Velencia blinked at her reflection twice before breaking out into a smile and kicking her legs a little bit in excitement. “Awww, Ozzie! Look! Our little bunny princess is dancing!” “She must really like what she chose! And I can’t blame her! She looks absolutely perfect!” “Fuck yeah, she does!” When the baby was done with her little air dance, Asmodeus picked her and her mother up again before walking out of her room and into the kitchen. Once inside, Fizzarolli jumped out of his husband’s arms and ran over to Velvey’s highchair. The Queen of Lust gave her a little kiss on the cheek before strapping her in and putting on her gloves while his husband got her cake out of the fridge. After making sure she was comfortable and happy, Fizz gave his husband a nod. “Alright, birthday girl… Are you ready for the Birthday Song?” Ozzie asked lovingly as he walked over. Upon spotting her bunny-shaped cake, the princess' eyes began to sparkle while her tail began to wag in excitement. Which made her parents swoon, as they took that as the sign to start singing. “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear, Velencia! Happy birthday to you!~” Once the song came to an end, the king gently set the cake in front of his princess. Which, of course, was topped with a “1” candle with one of Ozzie's signature safe blue flames. Velvey looked at the cake with wonder, causing her parents to smile as they leaned in to kiss her cheeks. “That’s right, Baby. This cake is all for you! And would you look at that! There's a little candle so you can make your first birthday wish!” Fizz purred as he continued to love on his daughter. “Who do you wish to help you blow it out, Baby Bunny? Mommy or Daddy?” Ozzie asked lovingly as he held her little hand and gave it a kiss. Velencia blinked at her cake a few times before looking at her mommy and daddy. After glancing at them back and forth, she pointed at both of them. The parents swooned and melted at her before moving to puff up their cheeks when… “Ma…Ma… Da… Da…” Fizz and Ozzie froze before slowly turning to Velencia, who proudly smiled at them. “‘Mama’… Did you say ‘Mama’?” “‘Dada’… Did you say ‘Dada’?” They asked simultaneously, causing Velvey to coo at them while clapping her fingertips together. The parents continued to stare at her in shock as happy tears began to form in their eyes… However, the cherry on top of this perfect little sundae came when her next sentence left her lips. “A wuv oo, Mama, Dada!” With that, the King and Queen of Lust burst like a dam and began to cry tears of joy, showering their daughter with love and kisses. “OH MY LORD! OH MY LORD! SHE SAID IT! SHE SAID IT! OH, MY SWEET BABY! WE ARE SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU!” “YES! SHE FINALLY SAID MAMA AND DADA! SHE FINALLY SAID MAMA AND DADA! OH, OUR SWEET DARLING! OUR PRECIOUS! WHAT A SMART LITTLE GIRL YOU ARE!?” Her parents exclaimed as they continued their love shower and fawned all over their baby. As their adoration flowed through the air, Velencia couldn’t help but purr proudly as she hugged and snuggled both of their faces. When her parents finally calmed down a bit, they looked at her with loving tear smiles as they leaned in. “We love you too, our Birthday Girl.” They cooed as they finally blew out her candle. When they were done, Fizz quickly plucked it out and set it on the table in front of them. Velvey stared at her cake again before looking at her parents with a confused look, causing them to laugh. “Go ahead, Bunny. Reach your little hand out and start eating.” “That's right, Sweetheart! Grab away! Enjoy yourself! Aunty Bee made your favorite!” After gently encouraging her, Velencia slowly reached out her left hand, pinched off a tiny piece, brought it to her mouth, and began to eat her cake as she purred happily. Fizz and Ozzie watched her with loving smiles as she continued to pinch at her cake. “Awww, would you look at that Froggie? Still our tidy little princess.” Asmodeus swooned as he gave his daughter a small kiss on the cheek. “Yeah, even on her birthday, she still is in order! Such an elegant little lady we got on our hands!” He responded as he rubbed her right horn lovingly “You got that right, Fizzy! She’s going to be such a graceful princess when she gets older! All of Hell is going to be crazy for her!” “Uh-oh! You gotta watch out, Daddy! Something tells me that we have to keep a close eye out for those nasty paparazzi! Who are always swarming the place… Especially when the word gets out!” Fizz joked gently as he looked up at his husband. “Well, that’s a risk I’m just going to have to take, isn’t it?” Ozzie joked back, though Fizz could tell the underlying seriousness of that statement. “Yep! Get used to it, big guy.” They continued to watch her silently before Fizzarolli spoke up again. “I still can’t believe she finally said ‘Mama’ and ‘Dada’...” “Same here, Froggie… What a smart little girl we have… Already learning how to say new words.” “Such a smart princess she is… I wonder what made her finally say them…” Before either one could say anything else, Velvey looked up from her cake and smiled at them lovingly. “A wuv oo, Mama, Dada.” She cooed as she pitched off two pieces of cake and reached them up to them. Her parents melted for the millionth time before gently taking her offerings and kissing her cheeks. “We love you too, our little Valentine… Happy Birthday.” Velencia smiled wider; they knew exactly what she wanted to wish for once she saw that candle…
