Chloe Decker just wanted to be at peace and quiet just for a day, something that thanks to Lucifer's presence in her life was impossible , somehow or other he always managed to get into trouble and she, which she hated.
With a bit of luck, Lucifer would have hungover that morning or busy with a young girl and she could enjoy her day off, at least while Trixies was at school, which gave her a small margin of time to get everything done.
In fact, Chloe knew she had much to do, the guests of her daughter's party would arrive after lunch and still she had to decorate a bit the house and the garden and, of course, pick up the cake.
So, the last thing she needed was a Lucifer who wanted to be the center of her attention.
Deciding that it was about time to do something, she pick up her bag, her car keys and after that, she went to the center.
Meanwhile the devil himself woke up after passing an epic night with a couple of twins of golden mane and a body no more tempting than the apple of Eden.
But as soon as the girls returned home and the devil, once dressed, go down to the Lux knew it was going to be a long and boring day until the doors would open at night, even Mazikeen wasn't in a good mood that morning, although that wasn't something that altered Lucifer.
Parsimoniously, he sat on one of the stools and started to play with an empty cup until the demon filled it.
-You aren't going to see your detective? -asked Mazikeen.
As always, Maze's voice was filled with a bit of jealousy and, as always, Lucifer didn't care abou it.
-I didn't receive ant call today -answered Lucifer- How is that even possible?
- Maybe there isn't any case that requires you to go running to solve her problems and puto your life in danger -she suggested.
-Perhaps something bad happened to her -he said, ignoring her answer- or maybe she is mad at me…humans are …difficult to understand and in our last case it seems that she was upset because I want to have sex with the culprit.
-Do you even listen what I say? -she asked.
-I should go to check on her - said the devil.
After that, the devil drank his cup, got off the stool and he got out toward the police department, expecting Chloe to be there.
Lucifer Morningstar, in fact, didn't know the fact that the detective wasn't there if not he was totally unaware that this was an important day for her neither that something terrifying was coming for him.
A house filled with eight years old children.
His disappointment to see that Chloe wasn't in the police station was enormous, such was that for a second he thought he had to make a few phone calls to find her. But, luckily, he only needed to talk with her boss to know the answer, Chloe was at her place, it was her day off.
Lucifer thought that was strange, why did she choose that day to be her day off? What's so special about that day? It had to happen something big because he knew that the detective never left things to chance.
So the answer was to go home Chloe and her little human and find out what was happening.
Trixie had arrived from school and she was in her room talking on the phone with his father, Chloe knew how much it hurt to Daniel the fact that he was going to miss his daughter's birthday but this time it was something that she wasn't going to reproach in the future when they had an argument. In fact, a days before she explained everything to their daughter and it seemed that she understood the situation or, at least, she wasn't mad about it.
Chloe, busy as she was she couldn't hear Lucifer knocking at the door and hear him approach the back garden when he saw that she didn't answer.
-Detective! -she heard exclaiming while she was placing the dishes on the tables.
That caught by surprise to the woman that she almost throw one of the dishes to his head.
-What are you doing here? -she asked him without hiding how much his presence annoyed her.
-You didn't call me! -he exclaimed.
-Why should I call you?-she asked him, again- There isn't any case, Lucifer, and I don't need you to be around me all day and less today, I'm busy.
Given that responses, Lucifer chose to observe the garden and decoration before speaking.
-It seems that you are going to have a party -he said- clearly not the party that I could enjoy.
-This isn't one of your parties -she said- it's Trixie's birthday and her friends and their mothers will be here in an hour.
-Oh, it's the birthday of your little…girl - he remarked- I never understood why humans like to celebrate the day that they come to this world, I mean, it's nothing remarkable, all species do that.
-You had a birthday party -Chloe remembered him- Dan and me brought you a gift.
-I'm the Devil and I don't have a birthday -said Lucifer.
-Everybody have one -she insisted.
-The Devil doesn't have one - he replied.
Before the detective could answer that, somebody run out the house and throw him to Lucifer, hugging his legs to the chagrin of the devil, who didn't even bother to hide it.
-Lucifer! -shouted the voice of Trixie.
-Ah…hello…child -he murmured, trying to remove the girl from his body.
-You have come! -she exclaimed, hugging more tightly his legs - I knew it!
-You knew? -he asked her, slightly surprised- Is your daughter a Jedi or a mutant? - he added, asking her mother.
-Don't say that -she answered him- Trixie, did you invite Lucifer to your birthday?
-Yeah! -confirmed the little girl- I went to the Lux and I told Maze.
Lucifer didn't know that, probably because Mazikeen thought that it was better for him , although, he went to the party without knowing it.
-I really glad you came! -repeated the girl- Did you brought me a gift?
When the girl asked that a silence reigned in the garden, it was obvious that Lucifer didn't bother to know when was her birthday, less bring her a gift and he was going to say no but her mother answered first.
-Lucifer's present it's at Lux -she said- it's…so special…that it comes from the other part of the world.
It was painful for her to lie to her daughter but it was for the best, better that than nothing-
-And what it is? -asked Trixie.
-It's…a…surprise, little human -answered Lucifer.
Internally, he was cursing the fact that now he had to found a gift for that little human spawn which had to be enough satisfying to corroborate what her mother had said.
-Trixie, honey, why you don't finish to dress yourself before your friends come? -Chloe asked to her daughter.
That seemed to work because Trixie parted from Lucifer, nodded and ran again to home.
-You're welcome -Chloe said to Lucifer.
-What I'm supposed to buy to your child? -he asked her.
-Anything -she answered- she adores you, so…she will be happy with whatever you are going to buy.
Lucifer wasn't sure about that, his experiences with parties didn't include balloons, cake and a magician, so he wasn't the most appropriate being to buy a gift for a human child, at least until she had twenty one.
-And you're free to go -she added- I will tell Trixie that you had plans.
-I I have a slight feeling that you're casting me , detective -he observed- There is any special reason for that?
-I know the…impact that you cause in women and men -the detective answered- and I thing it's better for everybody not having you around here with the mothers and fathers when they come.
-Interesting -murmured the devil with a smile.
-Don't ever think about it -she replied, feeling that Lucifer was planning something.
-Come on, detective! -he exclaimed- I promise that I will behave.
But that didn't mean that everybody around him was going to do that.
Before detective Decker could say something , the first guests arrived which made her forget about what Lucifer was planning to do and take care of them.
In fact, everything happened almost two hours later.
Until then, everything went well, the kids were playing while their fathers were watching over them. After a time, they had decided to open presents before eating the cake. Lucifer had remained outside everything, trying to keep the children away from him, Chloe was starting to thought that he was going to keep his promise.
But Lucifer was tired of hearing that stupid children's music and be part of insufferable talks about chickenpox, degrees and tutorials, bit above all, he missed alcohol and the company of beautiful girls without any kind of little human in her life.
Although, Chloe hours later would admit that what really happened didn't started because of him.
Trixie came up with a couple of girls who introduced to Lucifer as " her best friends forver and ever", by the gleam in their eyes, he knew that they didn't have good intentions.
-Trixie says that you're a magician! -shouted one of the girl, she seemed to be the youngest.
-But she's lying -said the other, a little girl with Asian features- you don't look like a magician, magicians have a wand.
-Lucifer doesn't need a wand to do his magic -Trixie replied- he's special.
-We don't believe you -said the Asian girl again- you're a liar and my daddy always say that liars go to hell.
-Well, that's something that I would decide -Lucifer said, joining the conversation- Tell me, little human, who is the unfortunate parent who has brought you to this little hell? - he added, bending down to be at height of girls.
-My mum -she replied, pointing to a blond woman.
-Adopted, I knew it -he said.
After that, he approached the group of women where that particular mother was chatting animatedly.
-Excuse me, I think I have to steal you a moment to this charming woman - he told them- it won't take long, I promise.
There was a small stir among the group, the women looked at the other with envious eyes, maybe thinking that Lucifer had other intentions with her, who, by the way, didn't reject the offer.
So Lucifer, with the blonde woman practically glued to him, went back where the kids were, the mother to see her daughter, stared at the demon without hiding how confused she was.
-I thought… -she murmured.
- I'm afraid that will have to be in another time -he told her- this is full of little humans, it's not a place for that kind of thing.
-Are you going to do a magic trick, Lucifer? -Trixie asked him.
-Something like that -he nodded- a special trick for your birthday, Beatrice.
-Niceeee! -she shouted.
-Excellent - Lucifer commented, focusing his attention on women and staring at her- Tell me, ma'am, what is your desire?
The woman's aswer didn't play hard to get.
-I want to leave my husband and run away with my lover without kids. For God, I never wanted to have kids but he wanted to adopt her, so he did it.
After hearing that, Lucifer started to laugh so laud that almost everybody on the garden noticed that, Chloe, who knew what happened, ran to stop it before it was worse.
-For God's sake -she shouted him- what the hell are you doing?
-Nothing in his name, actually -he answered her- in fact, on your daughter's.
- Don't you dare to put my daughter in your nonsense -she said- I don't now what happened, Caroline -she added to the woman- but I'm so sorry.
-I didn't mean to say that…-murmured the woman.
-Of course you didn't - Chloe told her.
-I'm so sorry, honey -Caroline said to her daughter, who was crying- Momma loves you, for real I didn't mean to…mum would never say that…
Satisfied with his work, Lucifer turned around to leave the scene with Trixie following him, confused about what just happened.
-I have to go, Beatrice -the devil told her- probably your mother is going to kill me after this, and counting that I'm mortal when she is around me…I woulf prefer to avoid any damage. I will send you your gift as soon as I have it -he added, leaving the Decker's house.
Lucifer felt a huge relief when he finally arrived at Lux after all what happened in that party.
-Did you enjoy the party, Lucifer? -Maze asked him with a mischievous smile when he entered the local.
- You're twisted he said- you could have warned me.
-And spoil you the surprise? -she asked again, smiling more.
-I'm tired - he murmured sitting on a stool- dealing with humans kids is exhausting.
-Don't get so comfy -Maze said to her boss- you have visitors.
-I'm not in the mood for deals -he sentenced.
-Is not a deal -she told him- believe me, you're not going to like it but you need to see him.
-Just to make it clear -said a voice with british accent- I'm not glad to see you, mate.
-Bloody hell -Lucifer murmured with disgust- John Constantine…John bloody Constantine …what the hell do you want now?
-I don't like you and you don't like me, fine -the exorcist told him- but you need me, at least if you want to live.
The demon cursed that day, clearly, nothing good was going to happen to him.
-Fine, talk.
