[3rd POV]
As she asked this question, Alice's eyes widened. Alice knew she wanted more children, and she knew that she wanted them soon, but she didn't expect it to come within only a year of adopting Rose into their little family. And this time it would be a teenager? Even more than that, Lucifer herself was bringing the idea up, which was a bit of a surprise to her.
Adopting Beatrix of all people was even more of a surprising ask, considering her personality and age. But after hearing the things that Andreas had been doing to her, the idea of adopting her had become more and more alluring. Not just to give Rose a big sister, but also to save the girl from the horrible treatment she was forced to endure, and the manipulation she went through due to her "father".
"Yo-You want to adopt her? Really?!" Alice asked with sparkling eyes at the prospect. She wanted more children, and while it would be a bit to get used to, having a teenage daughter, she wasn't against it in the least. Plus she was sure that Rose would adore having a sibling, whether they are older or younger than her.
"I do. She deserves better parents than someone like Andreas, love. And while it will be annoying to deal with Rosalind and the man, they are weaklings in my eyes, so they will be easy enough to deal with. That, and her real mother, Dowling, doesn't seem to be the Mother of the Year or anything" Lucifer responded with a nod. The fact that Beatrix was the older sister of Bloom, and the daughter of Dowling, was a bit of a shock, even more so when she found out that the two of them had an even older sister, but it seemed she was either sealed away, or dead.
"And would she accept that? She barely knows us, Luci" Alice asked, as Lucifer hummed.
"I suspect so. But I already planned on waiting until we grew closer to her and Bloom before asking" Lucifer replied. She wouldn't want to ask something like that of her without knowing her more, mostly because it would be a rather weird thing to say to someone who barely knew you, or you barely knew.
"You want to adopt Bloom too? But aren't her parents good?" Alice asked, furrowing her eyebrows at the idea of another child being harmed by her parents.
"Not in this universe, love. From what I can tell, my father has sent us to another universe with children that need help. And in Bloom's case, it is more in line with Rose's, with it getting...physical. But the difference there, is that it has been going on much longer" Lucifer replied with a shake of her head, as she had used her power as the God of Family to look into the girl's parents, and what she found was not something she liked.
Alice growled deeply at this fact as her power flared slightly, angry with the prospect of another innocent child being harmed like that. Rose was already heartbreaking, but a child who had gone through the same thing, but even longer? That made her motherly instincts rage at what had happened to the innocent girl.
Lucifer, seeing the angry expression on her wifes face, softly wrapped her arms around her waist. "Calm down, my love. Your power is showing, and I don't think we want Rose hearing this conversation" Lucifer softly said, pressing a loving kiss against her neck, as her wife leaned back against her and let out a soft breath, sighing as she calmed herself. She was still furious, but now she was controlling the fury for when she could properly use it.
"How are you going to approach her? If she's anything like Rose, then it will be difficult, and considering her age, it is likely that she is going to hide it all behind a mask, so that no one notices. The only ones who would see through that are the two of us, Jasper, and Musa" Alice asked, as she looked up to her wife, hoping that they could help Bloom, without the girl having to keep up this "Mask" that she had been wearing.
"I plan on getting close to her through class, and then talk with her like I did Beatrix, but doing it in a softer approach. The girl might not show it outwardly, but I can sense her deeper emotions that she masks, and she is hurting Alice, badly. You might not have noticed, but I can see the scars underneath her clothing, and they're not the type that a girl that age should ever have" Lucifer replied, knowing that approaching the teen would be a lot harder than Beatrix was.
Unlike Beatrix, Bloom was horribly abused and neglected, both mentally and physically. She was similar to Rose in that aspect, but arguably worse, not that she was going to compare the abuse of two people with each other, especially with one of them being her daughter and the other being a potential daughter.
"...When are you going to tell them that we're married?" Alice asked, knowing that the other girls in their class didn't know yet. And eventually they would need to, mostly to make it so they didn't need to hide anymore.
"Probably by the end of the year, I suspect they'll figure it out on their own by then, and either way, I hope to be close enough to Bloom and Beatrix by that point" Lucifer replied after a few moments. She knew that it was inevitable, but she also knew that Alice didn't want to be treated differently by anyone, because of her being the wife of a teacher, and technically being so much older than everyone else in the school.
"Well...when should we bring up the topic to Rose?" Alice asked, knowing that her daughter would be excited to know that she was going to have an older sister (or sisters).
"After we offer to adopt them. I'd hate to get Rose's hopes up involving something like that, Alice. And I don't want her to treat them any differently and accidentally give away our intentions. It could potentially do more harm than good" Lucier responded. Telling Rose now was a bad idea, and not something that they should do, not without potentially causing some issues.
"...Okay, but if she finds out on her own, we'll explain everything to her, right?" Alice asked. Lucifer nodded immediately to the question, as there would be no point in hiding it after that point.
"Yep, no point in hiding it then" Lucifer responded with a nod.
Glancing at Alice's homework that she had been working on, Lucifer let out an amused chuckle before speaking.
"But until then, let's work on that homework of yours, shall we?"

That's the end of the chapter!
Basically just another intermission chapter before some more events start going down. She'll be in this world for another 20 chapters or so until the next one, as I realized that the Winx Saga is...incredibly short, like...really short. So it'd be a waste of time to make it a 50 chapter volume when I could instead have her go somewhere like Percy Jackson or somewhere more interesting.
Next chapter for Unique Gamer will be coming in a bit.
Anyways, have a good day!
