Chapter is longer than I originally planned and so this will be the first part of the families PoV and next part will be the father and sisters. Also I don't plan to do a PoV often as it's not really my thing.

Grandfathers PoV
The boogie man who's actual name turns out to called Steve (didn't see that coming, probably expected some weird name like those in Tolkien's books, but no even in a fantasy world they have a Steve) had been having a weird week.
Not regarding the fact that the baby clearly hated him after the face it pulled when it saw him during the birth but also how it is obviously avoiding him
His problems all started when he found himself to be short on cash and running a rather large tab at the Evil Eye inn.
<1 week ago>
"Buggers I am out of cash, I can't believe that my own daughter would cut me off" he grumbled to himself while still ordering another mug of ale.
"Excuse me sir" said the rather large waitress.
"Yessssss" he replied in a slurred response
"We're about to close up so can you please pay your bill now!!" she announced with a rather menacing undertone.
"I'll pay you next time I come" he retorted as he stumbled off his stool heading for the exit.
Suddenly Steve felt a tug on his jacket and soon he was dangling in the air in front of face that put a raging bull to shame.
"No, you said that last time. You will pay NOW!!"
'Crap, what do I do, think Steve think. Let's see I could say I left the money at home and need to collect it. No did that one last week. Maybe offer them something of equal value, but I've already pawned of most of that. Ha maybe I can say I will read your future, seen lots of others get rich of that, nah it's a stupid one'
But even as he thought this his mouth had different ideas "I could...*hiccup*...read your future"
The waitress looked at him cynically as he was regarded by many to be a bit crazy and unreliable and rightly so, as he was a rather raving alcoholic. But it had been known for the Storviken family to have mysterious traits.
"Prove it" she said slightly regretting her decision.
'Shit what do I do. Got to make stuff up, like, oh no one knows my daughters pregnant yet'
"Well my daughter will be pregnant soon, I can sense it."
"And?" She replied
"And..um..'right and what, I could say it will be a boy, probability of that is high since she already has two daughters. Yes I'll say that'..she will bore a boy"
"Which?"
"Which will be the saviour of our clan. Jesus, are you happy now. God your so demanding" he snapped back in response to her questing but immediately regretted it. 'What did I say..there's now way she will believe that'
Meanwhile the waitress upon hearing this 'what is this crazy old drunkard spewing there's no way I'll believe that. But then again if he was lying he would have said something more believable. Maybe it's true, oh god I hope it's true'
"Very well I will let you off but not next time" she said while placing him back on the ground.
Steve was shocked and clearly showed it with his jaw hanging open. 'This dumb bird actually bought that shit, HA, it's my lucky day today'
He quickly scurried out of the inn and straight home.
Thus this event had a knock on event in which the news was spread around more and more people, till soon the whole clan was talking about.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
This led to the theatrics that was the birth and now Steve having to try and live his lie or else he knew he would be killed for it. His only luck that it was a boy and at least had two horns.
He downed one more class of alcohol then stood up 'come on Steve you can do this, just lie like there's no tomorrow, cause there won't be if you fail. Just give a traffic speech that's all'
"Hear is our saviour...."

Mothers PoV
For Freya (Freya more like Thor if you ask me) the past couple of days had been rather stressful for her with everything that's going on in preparation for the clan meeting and the birth (giving birth to something with horns. Ouch)
The birth had gone well and there had been no complications along the way. The only disappointment being she would have rather preferred to have another girl. Not that she hated boys but in demon society females were the most dominant.
She had to say she found it very amusing when her baby boy threw up all over her father. He been really annoying recently, acting all fidgety and defensive.
The next day after the birth she then had to deal with her husband
'God he so annoying when will he shut up?'
"Soiwasthinkingofnaminghim..." He was shooting out words so fast it sound like they were all one word.
'I can't even understand what he's saying'
"......darling?"
'Ah he stopped speaking, quick nod like you now what he was talking about' she hurriedly shook her head up and down.
"Okay anyway..."
'Phew that was close, he would have thrown a tantrum if he found out I was ignoring him' she then sighed and went back to looking out of the window.
She still had to plan the meeting that was being held in 2 days time. Sending out invites, getting ingredients for the feast, organising the finance for it etc.
'So much to do, it's so boring, I never asked for my child to be this important, it's to much of a chore'
"You agree then" her husband said interrupting her train of thought
"Hmmm..yes" she replied
"Fine then that's settled then, he will be named Eron"
"What!!" 'I didn't realise we were naming it now, what name is Eron anyway'
"Why you so surprised dear, you were listening weren't you" he said with a smirk on his face
'This damned man, he's got me corned. Guess my sons just going to have to keep the name'
Few days later at the the meeting began, all family close and distant were there. 'God I can't remember the last time the whole family gathered, it's a bit nerve racking'
Luckily her father stepped in after Dion handed Eron to him. He then began to speak
'oh please not another one of his long speeches. I am tired enough as it is' she was trying to stifle a yawn. Lucky Eron threw a tantrum stoping her father speaking anymore.
She went to use this chance to escape the room, but her husband beat her to it smiling as he left. Leaving her alone with the rest of the clan.

Any feedback is welcomed on this, but as I said earlier this is done more in my free time so don't expect the releases to be to regular.
