Spike was waking up from his well rest, and he was in deep thought. He kind of, felt bad for what he had said to his mother. He didn't want to upset her, but he had been so angry that he lost sight of the important role. Spike sighed to himself. He could be really stupid sometimes. Spike got out of bed, and saw how his wives were sleeping peacefully. Luna and Nightmare Moon were somewhere else in the castle. Spike chuckled quietly and slipped on some jeans and white t-shirt.

Spike walked out of the room and opened and closed the door quietly. Spike decided to head to the kitchen and make some breakfast for his wives. His walk there made him think about Lucifer. He wondered what had made him go soft. Lucifer is always like; "God is nothing compared to me! I don't care about anything other than power and our military!" It really made Spike wonder what happened to Lucifer to change so... quickly. Spike does have power in Hell since he is Lucifers son. His father is the emperor or king. Spike is a king or Prince how you ever want to define him. The thing is, Lucifer is always first priority. Lucifer is always recognised as the official ruler. Well, he is a God in Hell because of his angelic, and demonic powers, combine that, and you have one powerful angel slash demon or the other way around.

Spike reached the kitchen and saw that Luna and Nightmare Moon had reached the kitchen at the same time. Spike was lost in thought and didn't pay them any mind. Luna and Nightmare looked at Spike worried. Nightmare took her shot and asked Spike;

"Spike, is everything okay? You look lost in thought..." Nightmare Moon asked, making Spike face her. Nightmare Moon and Luna was sitting by the counter, and looking at Spike concerned. Spike flashed them a smile, and both of them knew immediately it was fake.

"Oh everything is fine, I'm just lost in thought is all." Spike said, opening the fridge and pulling out meat for himself, Nightmare Moon, and Chrysalis. The demon children needed the nutrients from the meats. Its pretty funny, since demons technically don't need food, but its better to be on the safe side. Luna was an interesting pony. She does sometimes in secret eat meat, since she was more diplomatic with violent countries. She got used to eating meat, and grew quite fond of it. She has never told anypony except Spike.

"Spike Sparkle Solaris!! We know thou ist lying!!" Luna and Nightmare Moon chorushed together in the old dialect. Spike couldn't help but chuckle a little. Luna didn't know what to do, and Nightmare Moon just looked at him. She wasn't angry that he was chuckling, since he is a demon to begin with.

"Fine fine, calm your horses!" Spike said, making Nightmare Moon laugh a little. Luna wasn't far of, as she was trying to stiffle her laughter and look stern to no avail. "I was thinking about dear ol' father."

Nightmare Moon looked at Spike amused. "Doesn't his majesties say so about his father everytime God is brought up?" Nightmare Moon asked, receiving a nod from Spike who was grinning like a mad demon. Luna knew about Heaven and Hell since she became an alicorn princess, but she didn't know much about it. She didn't want to offend her husband or wives if you include Chrysalis with questions.

"Luna my love, is there anything you want to learn about Hell or Heaven?" Spike asked, making Luna look at him shocked. She didn't expect that. Wait... did he say Heaaven?? Has he been there?

"You've been to Heaven?" Luna asked, shocked. From the stories she read about Lucifer Morningstar, he was cast out of Heaven and never returned. He could if he wanted to, but only did when he wanted to test out a pony by the name of Jesus. God accepted the deal, and won. Jesus never gave in to Lucifers deceivings, even though, he would have gotten it.

"Yes I have. You see, Lucifer was forced to come to a meeting concerning demons. Now, God obviously knew about me being his 'son' and told him to bring me also. I came with him, and surprised some angels except Death, she had smiled at me and given me a hug. Out of all angels, she was the one who was nice. The other angels were also nice to me, but I like Death the best. The meeting went well, but everyone could see that Lucifer wanted to murder God." Spike explained, making Luna gape at him. She had one question that she needed the answer to.

"Spike, doesn't that make you; half dragon, half angel, and half demon? If i understand it correctly, Lucifer is still technically an angel. So do you have angelic powers?" Luna asked, making Spike chuckle a little. Luna sounded like a young filly in school. Nightmare Moon chuckled also. She wasn't as surprised, since she had heard some of the stories before.

"Yes Luna, it does. Yes, I do have angelic powers. I have angelic wings, but because of the demon blood, they are black. If i lose the 'corruption' they will be white and feel so holy you can't describe the wonderful feeling." Spike said, making Luna look at Spike as if he'd grown a second head. She did believe him, bit it feelt so weird hearing your own nephew slash husband talk about angelic powers and wings in such a way. He had neutrality in his voice, but in his eyes he seemed so... disgusted? Luna wasn't sure. Perhaps it is Lucifers blood that make his spite angels and God.

Spike pulled out a frying pan and lit the stove and started to cook the meat he had taken out. Nightmare Moon looked at it longingly. Spike noticed and chuckled. She is pregnant and a demon, she will naturally want meat. Nightmare Moon realized and blushed a little. Luna chuckled and Spike came over and reached over the counter and hugged her.

"Its fine Nightmare, I just wanted to tease you. Besides, your pregnant, the little demon will need his strength from the meat. Sorry if I'm disgusting you Luna." Spike said, looking at Luna.

"Spike, I eat meat myself. Don't you remember? I told you I ate it in secret, and still do. I don't care what you eat." Luna said, making Nightmare Moon put on a mischievous grin at Luna.

"Do you truly mean not caring about what we eat?" Nightmare Moon asked, Luna who started turning red from blushing wildly. She may be able to have a neutral expression, but Nightmare Moon is one of the few beings that can make her blush.

Spike laughed, and turned back to the meat. Just then, Chrysalis and Celestia walked inside. Chrysalis let out a cute yawn, and looked at Spike tiredly. She went over and hugged him from behind.

"Sleept well my King?" Chrysalis asked, making Spike laugh a little. She always said this when she woke up. Spike didn't mind, as he felt dominant to her, even though, there are times when she is the one angry and definitively dominant.

"Yes I did, and Chrysi, I won't be king until father leaves Hell, and you and I both know he won't. He can't die either. He'll rule for a looong time." Spike said, making Nightmare Moon chuckle. It was true. Lucifer isn't as power-hungry as a lot of creatures may think, but he sure rules Hell with an iron hand.

"What are you cooking Spike?" Celestia asked, making Spike look at her apologetically. She looked still confused. Spike decided to just say it, there really wasn't any sugar-coating it.

"I'm cooking meat. You see, demons don't really eat, but if they do eat, then its meat. You are pregnant with demon children and they need their nutrients. Strangely, they only need it while the mother is pregnant, then they never need it anymore." Spike explained, and Celestia widened her eyes. Spike has done so much without anypony knowing, except Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon, but they can't say anything as he is royalty in Hell so they probably would have been punished unless Spike intervened.

"Spike, you know ponies don't eat meat, with the exception of Kirins and Luna." Celestia said, making Spike nod at her. He did expect this to be brought up. He didn't know what to say to soothe the situation.

"I'm sorry mother, but you will have to eat meat this one time. Then, you don't have to eat it again." Spike said, making Celestia look at Spike as if he'd lost it. She didn't know what to do or say. Chrysalis just licked her lips in taste. She already ate meat before she was a demon, but it sure was tasty.

Celestia sighed, and sat down one one of the chairs by the counter. Spike added some pepper and venom for Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis since he knew they wanted it extra tasty. He didn't want to risk Celestia or Luna on the venom bit, so he left it. Chrysalis used her smelling senses and let out a sigh of bliss.

"Did you take in venom for me?" Chrysalis asked, making Sure Spike got everything right. Celestia and Luna turned to her so fast Nightmare Moon though they broke their necks. Spike just hummed.

"Yes I did. Do you want extra this time?" Spike asked, making Celestia and Luna stare st him from behind as if he'd lost it. Venom?! What are they thinking!?

"Don't worry Celestia, Luna. The venom won't hurt the babies because Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon are demons carrying demon children. Nothing will happen to them, for them it just adds extra flavour. Don't worry, I'm not gonna add that to yours because I'm unsure if your bodies will take it to the demon or not." Spike explained, making Luna relax, but Celestia was looking at Spike with an unsure expression.

"Spike, how can you be sure it won't damage the babies?" Celestia said, making Spike face her. Spike understood where she was coming from, and decided to tell her simple demon anatomy.

"Well, demons are already screwed up as it is. Demons and angels have almost immunity to everything. Only me and Lucifer don't have to worry about angelic diseases that can hurt other demons because of our angelic blood. Demons don't react to poisons or anything at all. Basilisk poison is expensive in Hell, not because of the dangers of it, but because of how tasty it is. Demon children that are still in the womb won't have side effects. In fact, its you that I'm worried about. You are carrying demon children together with Luna. Luna may have experience with it, and will without a doubt handle it slightly better. You on the other hand are carrying a demonic child that could easily corrupt you." Spike explained, making Celesgia look at him shocked.

Demons are very powerful beings. She is happy that Spike is demon royalty and have some sort of power over them. She isn't sure about Lucifer as she has never met him. She has read about him, and heard his tales, but never met him in person. The most powerful demon, the God of all demons...

"You demons sure are something else." Celestia said, making Spike, Chrysalis, and Nightmare Moon chuckle. Luna just smiled at her wives and husband. Spike smiled adoringly at them. He wouldn't let any harm come their way, ever. Heck, he would force Lucifer to help him if he had to. Although, Lucifer will be easy to convince since he will be having some grandchildren.

"I know, we demons are simply superior." Spike said, making Chrysalis bark out laughing. Nightmare Moon couldn't control her giggles, while Luna and Celestia weren't far of either. Spike just grinned at them.

"Mom," Spike said, sounding sad and regretful. That surprised Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis. Then they thought; 'His angelic bit.' Spike looked into his mothers eyes looking angry... at himself. "I am terribly sorry for have called you angelic filth. I was so angry and frustrated already that day, and dumped all my anger and frustrations on you. You didn't deserve anything I said to you."

Celestia had tears in her eyes. She got up, and walked around the counter. She then hugged her son tightly. Celestia still wore her nightgown and Spike could feel her chest. "I forgive you my son... and husband." Celestia said, making Spike feel angry at himself.

"I don't deserve your forgiveness." Spike said, making Celestia look at him in surprise. Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon understood. Self anger slash hatred. It wasn't a surprise to Chrysalis or Nightmare Moon, since they are demons themselves.

"Well, I still will love you as my son and husband. I love you." Celestia said, making everyone in the room teary eyed. Spike hugged Celestia carefully, and let his emotions show. It made them smile.

They hoped that Spike would show more emotions, so he isn't just an old fraction of himself. Perhaps his marriage will change his old views. At least his wives hope so.
