She woke up in her room in Hell, staring at the familiar surroundings in confusion. Knock, knock.
"Come in," she said.
Lucifer entered, looking unusually pleased. "What the hell do you want?" she growled, her voice raw.
"Careful, Nyx, don't overstress," he said, as calmly as ever.
"To hell with you, Lucifer!" she cursed.
"Oh, Nyx, I'm already in Hell," he smirked. The infuriating smirk on his face was getting on her nerves. She lunged at him, but he was fast enough to dodge, though he hit his back on the doorframe.
"I'll kill you! Where is my Shawn?" she screamed, throwing things around the room, utterly devastated.
"Calm down, Nyx. You wouldn't be like this when you hear the happy news... and you will want to live," he said, his voice unusually gentle.
"What news would make me happy more than my Shawn?" she demanded. For some reason, her eyes were dry of tears; she couldn't cry.
"You are pregnant," he said.
Her eyes widened in surprise. "P-pr-pregnant?" she stammered, then instinctively felt her stomach. "You're lying!" she accused, pinning Lucifer against the wall with her powers. He began to choke.
"It's true... cough, cough... You'll kill me! Stop!" he managed to gasp. She released him, and he slumped to the floor.
"Four weeks pregnant," he continued, regaining his breath. "Nyx, you have to be strong so that your child will be healthy. If you are weak, Shawn won't like it." She just sat down, unable to move or say anything.
"Nyx?" he called softly.
"Uncle, I'm going to be a mother," she whispered, her voice a mix of awe and despair. He nodded. "But Shawn isn't here! How will my child grow up without a father?"
"You are a great queen. You will know how to train your child, and I know you will give him all the love he deserves," Lucifer said reassuringly.
A knock interrupted them, and the door opened. "Greetings, Queen Nyx," a handsome man said with a bow, also greeting Lucifer. He had red hair, a pointed, straight nose, rose-gold lips, fine eyebrows, and ice-green eyes. He was handsome, but he was nothing compared to Shawn... her Shawn.
"What brings the great Rein to Hell?" Lucifer asked.
"I came to offer my condolence to the great Queen Nyx," Rein said.
She looked at him. "He's not dead... he... he will come back, I know it. He promised," she said, her voice fragile.
"Yes, he will," Rein affirmed, a strange knowing in his eyes.
Three Years Later
Three years later, Nyx sat on her throne, giving orders to some guards. Suddenly, someone rushed into the throne room and bowed before Nyx.
"He's waking up, my Queen!" the person exclaimed.
Nyx forgot she was a queen. She rushed out, running, sprinting to the room where he was kept. She ran as fast as she could.
"You're awake!" she cried as she hugged him, kissing his face all over like a mother who had missed her child.
"Who are you?" he said.
She was shocked, utterly broken. "It's me, Alice... Shawn, don't you... don't you remember?" she said, her voice cracking.
"Who are you?" he demanded again, confusion etched on his face.
"No... no... you can't just forget me... I'm your girlfriend, Alice!" she pleaded.
"Sorry, where am I?" he asked, genuinely bewildered.
"You are in my chamber... Shawn, you have to remember... Please, I... I can't just lose you after three years of trying!" she said, looking at him, desperation in her eyes.
"Who am I?" he asked.
"You are my boyfriend... my Shawn... half-demon, half-vampire... my fiancé," she explained. He shook his head in denial. He couldn't remember. "Shawn, please remember," she said between sobs. He clutched his head.
"It hurts," he murmured. She hugged him.
"Shhh... Relax, okay... Don't worry. I can wait for you to regain your memory... I'll help you," she said, laying him gently back on the bed. She then walked out, crying like a child. She felt someone tugging at her dress.
"Momma," a child of about three years old said. His hair was golden-black, he had ice-blue eyes, and perfectly plump, pink lips—very cute.
"Victor," she said, picking him up. "My baby boy... Daddy is awake, but he doesn't remember me," she said, tears streaming down her face.
"Momma, don't cry," Victor said, wiping her tears with his little hand.
"I'm not crying," she said, faking a smile.
"Momma, can I go and see him?" Vic asked. She took him to see Shawn.
"Poppa," he ran and hugged him. Shawn was surprised but hugged Vic in return. "Hi," Shawn said, a faint smile on his lips. Vic looked at him, then beamed.
"Momma, I'm just as handsome as Poppa!" he said proudly. She smiled.
"Yes, my baby boy is as handsome as his daddy," she said with a genuine smile.
"Do I also have a son?" Shawn asked, looking between Alice and Victor.
"Yes... We did... but you died the day I knew about it," she said with a sad look.
"I don't know why, but I feel you are telling the truth... so I'll let you help me remember my memory," he said. She was so happy that she momentarily forgot he was still holding Vic. She ran up to him and hugged him.
"Really? I'll be happy to do so..." she said, her voice filled with relief.
"Really, Poppa? Momma is the best! She will help you recover, and we will be together!" Vic exclaimed.
"Yes... your momma will help me," he said to Vic.
"Baby boy... go and meet Grandpa, okay?" she said.
"Is it your daddy or Daddy's daddy?" Vic asked, ever curious.
"Daddy's daddy," she said. He slid down from Shawn's arms and ran out.
"Shawn," she said, and before he could answer, she kissed him. He was frozen for some time, but then he felt something familiar, like he had been doing it for a long time; he was used to it. He kissed her back.
"Shawn, I missed you..." she said. He just kept on kissing her, and a soft moan escaped her lips. He finally let her go.
"I... I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to," he said, a hint of confusion in his eyes. She just hugged him again.
"Thank you for not resisting... I can feel it... I can feel that you are still in love with me... I can feel our connection... You still know me... but you can't remember me," she said, her voice laced with hope and pain.
