Author's Note: Sorry it's so short. This is just a nice conversation between Lucifer and his father.
The Devil stood at the nursery window. His dark eyes set upon an infant in the middle. The infant fast asleep with his thumb in his mouth. Lucifer leaned against the window with his arm over his head. He watched his newborn son sleeping soundly while others cried and fussed. A slight smile upon his handsome face.
There were other fathers and relatives clamoring for a view of their own infants. Lucifer mainly ignored them. His focus entirely on his son. The child was perfect. Lucifer mused to himself. He made some beautiful children. This hadn't been planned. He wouldn't have had it any other way. If it weren't for his son he would be back in Hell.
"He's perfect." A male voice broke him out of his thoughts. Lucifer kept his eyes trained on the infant. He didn't need to look to know who was standing next to him.
"What are you doing here?" He said dryly.
"Is that the kind of greeting you give your father?" The male voice said to him.
Lucifer gave him a sideway glance. His father was wearing an all-white suit. He was wearing the face of an older man today. White hair and white beard. Eyes as blue as the sky. "Hello Father." He smirked slightly and turned his attention back to his son.
"I didn't come here to fight. I just wanted to celebrate the birth of your son. Is that a crime now?" God asked his wayward son.
Lucifer shrugged. "You can do whatever you want." He did his best not to look at his father.
"Lucifer, I thought we were past all of this."
"We are." The Devil responded. "Doesn't mean I have to like you."
God sighed loudly. "Goodbye Lucifer." He started to leave.
Lucifer closed his eyes for a moment. He watched his father turned to leave. "Father." He said out loud.
The Almighty stopped and turned. His blue eyes trained on Lucifer. "Yes?"
"I'm afraid. Afraid I'll fail him." Lucifer responded.
God took a few steps towards Lucifer. "Why do you say that?"
"I failed so many of the others. I just don't think I can go through it again. So many of them I just simply didn't care. But since Persephone came along. And now him. I just feel I don't want to watch them fall."
God sighed. He clapped his son on the shoulder. "Nothing worse than watching your child fall. Believe me. You wonder what it is you did wrong to cause them to turn on you. Wondering what it is you did wrong to cause them to hate you. To think that everything you are about is wrong. Trust me. The pain never goes away."
Lucifer looked his father in the eyes. He didn't say a word. He was at a loss for words.
"Look, son. Don't sit there worrying about what might be. Just enjoy the moment. All you can do is your best. But one day it will be up to him to decide on his path. All we can do is guide them. I have faith that he'll be just fine. Just like I had faith in you."
Lucifer smiled. "I know. Thank you." He shook his head. "Look at us. Did you ever think we would be standing here in a place like this? Reminiscing like a father and son should?"
God chuckled. "Truthfully no. But I'm glad we are. This is rather nice." God turned and looked at his new grandson. "What is his name?"
"Samael." Lucifer stated.
God smiled. "Really?"
"Yep. I believe things have come full circle. I was once the light bringer and now he brings light to my life."
God chuckled lightly. "You have come a long way, my son. I am proud of you. He looks like you."
"He had blue eyes." Lucifer said. "All of my children have always had black eyes like me."
"Interesting. I wonder why that is." God mused.
"I don't really care either way. It reminds me of his mother. She has beautiful eyes." He smirked. "Poor thing is exhausted. She was still sleeping when I left the room. I should go check on her soon." Lucifer wondered if Chloe was awake.
"I have to be going as well." God responded. "Take care, Lucifer." He turned to face Lucifer.
Lucifer eyed him. He rolled his eyes. He held out his arms. For a brief moment he hugged his father. "Okay. Goodbye Father." God nodded and disappeared. There was man who had been standing beside them was looking at him with his mouth wide opened. Probably realizing he had just listened to a conversation between God and the Devil. Lucifer smiled. "It's amazing isn't it. The miracle of life."
The man nodded. "Uh yeah." He turned back to the window and watched his own child. Glancing at Lucifer every few seconds.
Lucifer sighed and took one last glance at Samael. "I'll see you later. I am going to go check on your Mum." He turned and walked away from the window. Down the hall he went past the nurses and into the room. Chloe was snoring away. Lucifer took a seat beside her. His hand on hers. Contentment spread across his face as he closed his own eyes.
