Hello, Deckerstars! I decided to write a follow-up to my story "Mrs. Morningstar". I had wanted to post this as a new chapter for said story, but then figured it would do better as a stand-alone. I'm working on the second and final chapter now and should be able to post it either over the weekend or Monday at the latest. Enjoy and remember: reviews make me smile, and flames deserve to be in Hell!
Chloe put a hand to her mouth as tears of complete and utter joy streamed down her face. She gave Lucifer a watery smile as she said through her tears, "Yes, Lucifer! Of course, I will be your wife!" Lucifer smiled as happiness and relief filled his entire being. He took the ring out of the box and slid it onto Chloe's ring finger on her left hand. "It fits perfectly." The detective said as she gazed at the ring. "A perfect ring for a perfect lady," Lucifer said as he locked lips with his fiancée. "I love you, Mr. Morningstar," Chloe whispered after breaking apart. "I love you too, future Mrs. Morningstar."
Seven incredible months have passed since Chloe found Lucifer in Las Vegas and accepted the latter's proposal. It all felt so surreal that she was afraid that it was all a dream conjured by her broken heart. To show her what could have been. The detective shook her head, removing such thoughts from her mind. What happened was real, and she is going to become Mrs. Lucifer Morningstar.
The two of them had returned to Los Angeles a few days after Lucifer proposed. Lucifer immediately re-opened LUX (with some help from Maze) while Chloe busied herself with planning the wedding. The detective had broken the news of her impending nuptials to the demoness and her daughter. She has yet to tell Dan the news, but that can wait until she gets to the precinct.
Ella would be ecstatic, but Dan would have questions. Chloe mused as she scrolled through website after website, looking for a dress and places to hold the ceremony. She had wanted to get married in a church, but Lucifer was adamant that he's not going to get married in one of his Father's houses. Guess he still believes that he's the Devil and God is his Dad. Chloe thought as she continued to scroll through pictures of various wedding gowns.
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Lucifer came storming out. Though it wasn't Lucifer. The creature was wearing an Armani suit like Lucifer, but it didn't look like Lucifer. Red, burnt skin took the place of smooth, regular skin. Deep brown eyes turned into fiery orbs. Dark, luscious locks were replaced by a bald, red-skinned head. Chloe stared at the creature in both awe and fear. Her first thought is to run as far as her legs can carry her, but after the creature had turned into the Lucifer she knew and loved did it all sink in. Lucifer is the Devil. I'm in love with the Devil, and I'm going to be his wife.
The detective was still in her daze when the King of Hell came into the study, still fuming over the fact that someone had broken into LUX while he was away and made off with one of his baby grand pianos along with some very expensive liquor that took him quite a while to procure. All those favors wasted! If I ever get my hands on those responsible, I will make them wish that they had never been born! Lucifer vowed, his eyes still glowing with hellfire.
The Lord of Hell then saw his beloved sitting in the chair out of the corner of his eye, her eyes glued to the computer screen. His heart instantly melted at the sight as his mind turned to more pleasant thoughts. Chloe is going to be my wife. Me, the Devil, is going to have a wife. Lucifer mused, a small smile making its way across his face. I'm also going to be a stepfather to young Beatrice. The former Prince of Darkness thought again, shuddering at the thought of having to endure all the hugs from the spawn once he and Chloe are married.
The detective, unaware that Lucifer has entered the room, continued to stare at the screen, her mind still in overdrive as she finally put the pieces together. I'm going to be married to the Devil. Will we make Rosemary's Baby? Chloe thought as she envisioned her and Lucifer raising the Devil's child. I can't expose Trixie to that! The detective thought again, her maternal protective instincts kicking in. She then felt two strong arms wrap around her, Chloe looked up and saw Lucifer smiling down on her.
"How goes the wedding planning, Darling?" The former Lightbringer purred, pressing a chaste kiss on his future wife's temple. Chloe took a breath to ease her nerves and said in the calmest voice she could muster, "It's going well. I think I found the perfect place to get my dress." The King of Hell grinned wider and offered to go with her, but Chloe quickly refused. "You're busy with re-opening LUX; I don't want to keep you for hours on end while I try on dresses. I'll get Maze to go with me." The detective said as she suddenly got up from the chair and speed-walked toward the elevator, never once looking back. Lucifer looked on with a befuddled expression on his face.
What's gotten into her? It's like she saw the Devil or something. The Lord of Hell thought. "Oh Father, she saw my true form!" Lucifer exclaimed as realization dawned on him. "She saw my true form." The former Prince of Darkness repeated as his happiness quickly turned into sadness and heartache. She'll likely call off the wedding and never want to see me again. I mean, what woman in their right mind would want to become the Devil's wife? Lucifer thought miserably as he envisioned the harsh reality that he would be alone for the rest of his existence.
Chloe rode down the elevator, fear, and panic running through her veins. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself. Lucifer is the Devil. I thought it was just some metaphor that he cooked up. Oh, God, how can I face him now after seeing what he is? How can I walk down the aisle and marry him? The detective thought as the elevator went down floor after floor. When the doors opened, Chloe made her way out of the nightclub and hailed a cab to take her home.
The detective all but ran up the steps to her apartment after the taxi dropped her off. She fumbled with the keys but managed to open the door. Maze and Trixie were sitting on the kitchen island stools. "Hi, Mommy, why are you doing back so early?" The little girl asked as she watched her mother lean against the door. "Yeah, Decker, I thought you were busy planning your wedding." Maze said. Chloe moved off the door and said, "There's no wedding." At this, Maze's eyes went wide. The demoness told Trixie to go to her room while she talks to her mother. The little girl hesitated, scared that Maze is going to have an argument with her mother. She then bolted to her room, shutting the door behind her.
Maze then stormed up to Chloe and got into her personal space. "What did you do?" The demoness seethed, her light brown eyes flaring with rage. "I didn't do anything." The detective said. "I just saw…" Chloe went on, her words dying in her throat. "Saw what? Spit it out, Decker!" Maze said exasperatedly. "I saw the Devil, okay?!" The detective yelled. The demoness, upon hearing Chloe's words, suddenly relaxed and stepped back from her friend and roommate.
"So he finally showed you huh?" Maze asked, her previous anger dissipated. "No, he didn't show me. I saw him when he came up to the penthouse." Chloe said, bowing her head. "So Lucifer being the Devil is the reason why you won't marry him?" The demoness asked with one perfectly raised eyebrow. "I can't marry him knowing that I'll expose Trixie to that side of him. I can't do that to her. That's why I'm calling off the wedding." Chloe replied.
Maze then rolled her eyes and pointed an elegant finger at the detective. "Now you listen to me, Chloe Decker and you listen well. Lucifer may be the Devil, but he has never hurt you or your spawn in any way." The detective didn't respond so Maze continued. "He may look like a monster, but he's still the man that has been your partner, the man who has your back no matter what. He truly loves you, Decker. I've never seen him so happy in the millennia that I have known him except when he's with you. So if you want to call off the wedding, fine. I just hope that you can live with the fact that you broke his heart. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some bounty-hunting to do." The demoness finished as she opened the door and left the apartment and Chloe to her thoughts.
Will Chloe come to her senses and not call off the wedding? Keep an eye out for the conclusion of "Heaven-Sent"!
