Apple Seed 11: Abuela
Vaggie: (helping Charlie walk around the hotel) Just a couple more weeks and this will be all over, babe.
Charlie: (waddling like a fat penguin and holding her back) Thank fuck!
Lucifer: ....I'm risking it. (rushes up behind Charlie, lifts her up, places her feet on his, and starts waddling forward while singing) WWWWWWaddle like a penguin, quack, quack! WWWaddle like a penguin, quack, quack!
Charlie: DAD!!! I'M NOT THREE ANYMORE!!! I'M JUST PREGNANT!!! (looks down at her recently dropped baby belly) Very.... VERY.... pregnant....
Lucifer: Sorry, duckie. I thought this might help bring a smile to your face.
KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!!
Vaggie: Who the fuck is here now?! We put it out that we're not taking anymore sinners until after the baby's born!
Charlie: (slowly easing herself onto a lowered bar stool) Vaggie, be nice.
Baby: (wiggles, sending Charlie's whole belly pulsing)
Charlie: Baby agrees.
Vaggie: Yes, dear.... (answers the door) What do you- .......
Carmilla: (standing in the doorway with an imposing stare)
Vaggie: Carmine!? What are you doing here?!
Carmilla: (places an envelope in Vaggie's hand and enters the hotel with Clara and Odette in tow - dragging mounds of baby goods) I am here to check in on the princess and child while dropping off some much needed baby items.
Charlie: Aww~ That's awfully nice of you, Ms. Carmine.
Baby: (flutters)
Vaggie: (opening the envelope) This better not be an invoice for all of that! (pulls out a thick packet of paper and reads) WHAT THE FUCK???? You're ADOPTING me?!?!?!
Charlie: (jaw drops as she's in the middle of holding up a white baby onesie that says "I Love My Mommies" in rainbow from the pile) What?!
Lucifer: (Angry puppy face) Oh, no! That is MY daughter-in-law!
Carmilla: I figured it was overdue, especially with a child on the way. The baby needs an abuela in its life.
Vaggie: (opens mouth to say something only for her to close it with a snap) You know what? Fuck it. This is fine. Someone, give me a pen.
Odette: (hands over a pen)
Vaggie: Thank you. (signs the paper) There. Carmine, now you're an abuelita.
Carmilla: (staring at Charlie and the baby belly) Abuela is just fine.
Vaggie: Abuelita or nothing.
Carmilla: (opens mouth to counter)
Baby: (flutters excitedly and little fist impressions press against Charlie's belly)
Charlie: Awww~ They want to say "Hi" to their abuelita~
Carmilla: (flushes red and closes her mouth before shuffling forward and holding her hand over Charlie's belly)
Charlie: (smiles and gently presses her hand on top of Carmilla's, bringing it to her belly)
Baby: (tiny hand presses against the taught belly to meet the hand outside)
Carmilla: ......... (internally crying from sheer emotions) Qué pequeño tan precioso.
Clara & Odette: Can we feel the baby?!
Carmilla: (walks back over to Vaggie to retrieve the paperwork)
Vaggie: (smirking) Don't think I didn't hear that.
Carmilla: I don't know what you're talking about.
