Aries didn't know how he'd let himself be captured. He certainly wasn't the best soldier that the battalion of angels had to ward off the evil creatures of the world, but he wasn't the worst either. Some minor quarrel with a few demons who were violating their boundaries on earth had led into a full on fight, and in the midst Aries had taken to briefly taking cover in the depths of a cave near the open field his allies and enemies had resorted to battling in, and beyond that it was all a blur. He'd blacked out and woken up to find himself in a drab looking old room, chained to the bed by one meager wrist cuff... at least he'd thought it had been a meager inconvenience. The thing was strong, probably imbued with magic, and no matter what he did he couldn't get it off, thus it ultimately prevented his escape from whatever wretched place he'd been held up in.

That was a little over eight or so months ago, and now Aries was aware of the extent of the predicament he was in. There'd been nothing he could've done when the demon that had brought him here had had his way with him, and whether or not the pregnancy that followed was simply a byproduct or purposefully done, Aries still didn't know. But he did know that he'd no doubt be in trouble when he was able to return to the immortal plane with the other angels for conceiving with a demon, but in his defense it wasn't committed intentionally.

Sitting on the same bed he'd been on since day one, Aries grit his teeth at the violent thrashing and kicking of the demon spawn inside his womb. Thankfully that wrist restraint had been removed and he was free to roam, and Aries was grateful the demon had shown some kindness... but it wasn't kind of hard to roam as it was. He knew there was more than one child, but god only knows how many there might've been total. His belly protruded outwards obscenely, the skin of his abdomen stretched tight and red around his plump belly button. A sheen of sweat covered his globe of a stomach, giving it a shimmery texture that wasn't all too comfortable. The worst thing to Aries was that he still had another month of this torture; he kept telling himself it couldn't get much worse but with every passing day the children would grow more restless inside of him, and the aches and pains of the pregnancy would continue to get bad too.

Vapula was the scientists among demons. As a Great Duke of Hell, he was always curious as to how things worked. The capturing of Aries was a pure accident. He had somehow landed in one of the caves that was his laboratory of sorts, and he had easily subdued him. Power-wise, Aries was a weakling compared with Vapula.

It had so happened that Vapula had started to venture into the mechanism of reproduction, and Aries, as an intersex angel, was the perfect specimen. He had him conceived and put him under close monitoring, recording every subtle changes throughout the pregnancy. It was a pleasant surprise to have more than one child inside of the little angel, but it had provided him with more prominent changes to record. As Aries was struggling on the bed with the activity of his healthy spawns, he decided it was time to pay his daily visits.

"Hello, morning angel. I have come to check on you. How are you feeling today?" Vapula entered the cell and smiled. Under the constant attack of the spawns, the angel's body naturally needed constant self-healing, thus using up most of his energy. Vapula became aware of this since the children had started their activites, thus the removal of the restraint.

Aries had to wonder if maybe his peers had presumed him to be dead. Surely they would've come looking for him by now, but it was so common to lose lives during the battles that he knew it wouldn't be beyond the other angels to think that Aries had been an unlucky victim of war. He wished he could tell them otherwise, give some kind of clue as to him being alive and well - or as well as he could be during all of this - but he had to settle to being confined to the little laboratory space for now even though he hated it. The minute this was over and done with he swore that he'd be getting out of here.

When the door to the room opened and Vapula came in, asking him how he was, Aries swallowed hard, biting back the urge to curse at him. The demon was nice, he'd give him that, but Aries still didn't want to be anyone's lab rat. Aries sat up a bit straighter, grimacing as he set either hand on the side of his shifting belly. He wanted to get out of bed but the trouble sometimes wasn't worth it. "Terrible," he said honestly, panting hard as he struggled to move into a more comfortable position. "I need to get up and move."

"Uh.. could you stay there a bit longer first? Here let me get you a pillow behind your back to get you propped up. I want to check on the positions and growth rate of those little terrors inside of you. I would be touching on your belly as in every time. You should know the drill now?" Vapula held Aries down from getting up. This angel had been more cooperative than he thought really, mostly just passively accepted his examinations that could be painful at times. Though he probably was smart enough to know any resistance would only cause him more pain. He put pressure on the belly, feeling the positions of the spawns within. He had counted 3 so far, but as it wasn't a really accurate measurement, there could be more in it.

"Any additional discomfort other than the usual aches at the back, belly and hips?" Vapula proceeded to the legs and pressed hard on an ankle to test for how swollen they are.
