Located in a hospital in the Underworld the groans of a woman could be heard.
"Keep going dear, you're doing an amazing job." The voice of one Zeoticus Gremory could be heard as he tried to calm his wife who was giving birth.
Outside of the room one Sirzechs Lucifer, formerly Gremory and current Satan of the Underworld was nervously pacing back and forth. Sirzechs looked like a handsome young man with shoulder length crimson hair and green blue eyes.
"Sirzechs-sama, please calm down, everything will be alright." Spoke a female voice. The voice belonged to a beautiful silver haired, silver eyed woman who was currently dressed in a maids outfit. This was Grayfia Lucifuge, wife of Sirzechs and his Queen in his peerage. She's known throughout the Underworld as the strongest Queen due to being on par with the current 4 Satans.
"I know I know, it's just that I'm worried you know?" Spoke Sirzechs to her.
Grayfia just nodded as she could feel the nervousness rolling off of him in waves and walked up to him and put her hand into his in an attempt to reduce some of his nervousness.
Suddenly the door opened and out came a doctor who bowed slightly towards Sirzechs before he spoke up. "Sirzechs-sama, Grayfia-sama the delivery went successful and without any problems, if you want you may come in and see for yourself." The doctor finished as he stood to the side to give the two a chance to see it themselves
As both Sirzechs and Grayfia made their way inside they came upon a surprising sight.
There lying on one of the hospital beds was his mother and Grayfia's mother in law with not one but two little bundles in her arms.
Sirzechs noted that one of the two had crimson hair like himself and his father while the other one's hair took more after his mother Venelana though it had a tad bit of crimson mixed in it as well.
"Twins!" Exclaimed Sirzechs in shock at seeing the two babies. For Devils to get pregnant was already a rare occurrence let alone twins.
"Indeed, we were surprised as well." Said Zeoticus as they looked to the left of them and saw him look at Venelana and the twins with a smile on his face before he calmly made his way over to her.
Sirzechs couldn't help but smile as well, he now had two siblings he could spoil when they grew older and he could—He was brought out of his thoughts as his wife asked both Venelana and Zeoticus a question he was curious about as well.
"Lord Gremory, Lady Gremory, what are they called?" Grayfia asked with respect.
Venelana smiled at her before slowly raising her left arm. "This one we've decided to call Ruto." Venelana said as both Sirzechs and Grayfia looked towards the now identified boy with his interesting hair who was asleep.
"This one," Venelana said after raising her other arm. "We decided to call her Rias." As they looked at the little girl with crimson hair on her head who, like the other, was also sleeping.
"They're absolutely adorable!" Sirzechs exclaimed as he watched the two babies who were currently sleeping.
Both parents smiled at their oldest who, despite being the current Satan and being well over 400 years old still acted like a child towards certain things.
"Tou-sama, Kaa-sama, which of the two is the oldest?" Sirzechs asked them.
At this both parents were quiet for a second as a frown marred their faces, it was well known that with twins the oldest even if it was just a minute would become the heir of the family. Unless something else would happen that would make them change heirs such as if Ruto would beat her in combat or such.
"Rias-chan here was the first of the two to be born, though just because she's the heir doesn't mean we won't give them the same amount of love." Zeoticus spoke, though everyone caught the meaning of his last words. He basically said that they wouldn't favour one over the other be it either training, teaching or love which counted for everyone.
Not either Sirzechs nor Grayfia would ever do something like that though it was still thrown out.
It was silent for a while as everyone observed the two before Sirzechs broke it with a question. "When will you two and the babies be allowed to return?"
Zeoticus stroked his chin for a bit before replying. "Hmm, the doctor said they would run a few tests just in case something wasn't completely right but afterwards we could leave." He said with the others nodding before Sirzechs and Grayfia left their parents and in-laws with their newborns.

Ten years had passed since the birth of the Gremory twins and much had happened.
Both Ruto and Rias grew in more ways than just height in the few years they had been alive.
Over the years Ruto's hair grew longer, turning into the same shade of brown his mother had while the tips were crimson like his father, brother and sister. His eyes were a mix between purple and blue unlike the blue green his sister and elder brother had. All in all he took more after his mother much to her happiness as both her other siblings were copies of her husband beside the fact that Rias was female. His personality was more serious than his Sister, while she enjoyed watching anime he would usually train or read, it wasn't that he didn't enjoy it he just had other preferences.
That didn't stop him from joining Rias when she asked him to, much to her happiness.
When it came time for the parents to tell Ruto that Rias was the heir to the Gremory family Ruto had surprisingly shrugged his shoulders with indifference before congratulating her, shocking those present as they thought he would've given a different reaction.
When asked why Ruto merely replied that he preferred freedom over the tasks that were usually required of an Heir and didn't like that sometimes certain arrangements were made for said person, making his parents and brother flinch a little which he ignored. They were impressed by how much older he acted to which he just smiled in return before continuing with whatever he was doing.
One of the most important things that had happened was when Ruto had shown he had inherited the Bael's Power of Destruction, much to the happiness and joy of his family and even Zekram Bael, who is the First head of the Bael family who is said to have an either greater influence than the current Satans had congratulated his parents after he unlocked his family's power.

A seven year old Ruto could be seen standing in the backyard of the Gremory mansion. Opposite of him was his older brother Sirzechs who looked at him with a smile. "Alright Ruto-kun, we're going to play a little game to increase your reflexes in battle." Sirzechs spoke to him as he grabbed multiple baseballs in his hands and began to throw them at him, slowly increasing the speed as time went on.
Ruto was doing his best in trying to dodge them as they came flying at him. Eventually Ruto narrowly dodged one before his senses alerted him of incoming danger as he turned his head and saw one of the balls heading straight for his face. Not wanting to let it hit his face he panicked and swiped his hand in front of his face trying to deflect it. What he didn't expect and neither did Sirzechs, was for his body to gain a coat of red energy before it traveled towards his arm, then his hand where it flew outwards, decimate the ball midair.
Seeing this Ruto stopped what he was doing as he was shocked before looking at Sirzechs who looked proudly at him.
Ruto, not knowing what to do, charged his magic out of his body as the power output increased and thickened around him, shocking Sirzechs at the amount of magic he had and the potency of it at his age. All of a sudden it stopped as Ruto was tired before little by little the aura disappeared and he fell unconscious. Just before he reached the ground, Sirzechs, in a show of speed appeared behind him, catching him while looking at him with a proud smile before picking him up and brought him back inside for him to relax.

Ruto still remembered that day how he woke up after his slumber as his parents congratulated him and how they were proud of him. Even Rias, his sister did, though she glared at him cutely in jealousy making him smile at her.
Little over a year after Rias too showed signs at having inherited Bael Clan's Power of Destruction, though they noted her magic pool wasn't as big as his, it was still above the average Pure-Blooded Devil.
Currently Ruto was in the living room reading one of the many books his family had before he was interrupted by Rias who barged in, startling him much to her joy.
Rias' crimson hair grew longer, reaching her middle back. Like her brother she too had an ahoge, reminiscent of her brother and mother, her green/blue eyes had mirth in them as she looked at him with a smile on her face.
"Yes Rias-chan?" Ruto asked her sister who was still looking at him.
"Ruto-kun, Nii-sama is asking me to get you as he will bring us to Ajuka-sama to get us each an Evil Piece set." Rias spoke.
Ruto raised an eyebrow but on the inside he was excited. The Evil Pieces were a genius creation by Ajuka Beelzebub as a way to increase their numbers after the war. A Pure-Blooded or High Class Devil were the only eligible for a set which was based after Chess making it a must have for any High-Class Devil.
"Very well, let's get going then." Ruto spoke before he closed his book and stood up and walked over to her. Currently Ruto was an inch or 2 taller than Rias who stood at 4 feet 6. Together they walked to the front where they saw their brother waiting for them with a smile on his face.
Sirzechs absolutely adorned his two siblings and it was widely known throughout the Underworld that he would do anything for them should either of the two ask.
"Naru-tan, Rias-tan, are you ready?" He asked childishly, making both nod at him. "Very well just keep close to me alright?" Sirzechs spoke before they walked off to one of Sirzechs friends.
