Author's Note:
I give you a taste of Deckerstar. Though I plan on keeping them mostly platonic. As for Lucifer's relationship with Katye. I am not quite sure yet. They do truly care for one another. But I don't see them being truly in love. For now they are in a polyamorous relationship. It may change later. Who know.
A newer model Blue Charger rolled down the streets of Los Angeles. Detective Decker and Lucifer were riding along in a weird silence. Lucifer was normally quite chatty. This time he was merely staring out the window. They had just dropped off a young very pregnant woman at Lux. Detective Decker kept giving him side glances.
"What Detective?" Lucifer sighed heavily and asked her.
Detective Chloe Decker drummed her steering wheel for a moment. "So, when were you going to tell me?" She asked him.
"Tell you what?"
"Oh, that you are going to be a dad. I mean we could have gone out to celebrate."
Lucifer cleared his throat and remained silent. He wasn't entirely comfortable talking about the whole situation. He squirmed in the seat. Ready to be back at the precinct.
"So, tell me. Was your offspring planned or a mistake?" Chloe was amused by his discomfort. The same man who had told her how burdensome children were. How much her despised them.
"This most certainly was not planned." He gave her a sideway glare.
Chloe laughed. "Of course, it wasn't. I'm not surprised really."
"Really?" Lucifer raised an eyebrow and looked at her. She was looking straight ahead at the road.
She shrugged. "Yeeha. What surprises me is that you don't have like twenty children. The way you hump anything that moves."
Lucifer was waiting for the ride to be over. The whole notion of him being a father was not setting well with him. He had always been so careful. This situation had only happened twice in his existence and the first time didn't end well. He was afraid this time would be the same. "Are we almost to the precinct yet?"
"Why are you in a hurry?" Chloe glanced at him with a sly smirk on her face. Normally she was the one being irritated. It was nice to throw it back on Lucifer.
"I just want to get this case solved."
Chloe nodded. "Oh, I see." She nodded. "We'll be there in five minutes."
Katye stood in front of the elevator in Lux leading up to Lucifer's penthouse. She had her suitcase in hand. She shifted uncomfortably on her feet. They ached just from the little bit of walking from the car to the elevator. Lux was starting to fill with people. She just wanted to get up to the penthouse to shower and go to sleep. Lucifer said Maze would keep an eye on her. She wasn't sure what that meant. The loom of her evil grandmother coming to take her baby from her was on her mind.
"Katye?" It was her roommate Callie's voice.
She turned and smiled at her roommate. She hadn't seen much of her in a month. Turning to her. Callie was standing with two other girls. One of them Roxie. The one Katye wasn't fond of. "Hey Cal."
Callie looked her over. Noting her large belly. "How did I not know you were pregnant?"
Katye shrugged. It would be alarming. As she looked about seven months along when she had only been pregnant for a month and a half. She shifted on her feet. Shrugging. She had to make something up. "Sorry, I didn't tell you."
"But you were so skinny and then wow?" Callie looked at her friends.
"Do you even know who the father is?" Roxie chimed in.
Katye rolled her eyes. "Yes. I know who the father is." She smiled as the elevator door dinged and opened. "Its Lucifer. Now if you'll excuse me. See you later Callie." She sighed as the doors closed and the elevator started its ascent to the penthouse. The doors opened, and she stepped into the palatial penthouse. She sat down on one of the leather couches and let out a long sigh.
"Make yourself at home."
She jumped at the voice. Her eyes finding Mazikeen standing in the doorway of the bedroom. She was dressed in all black leather. Her hair pulled back. Her dark demon eyes narrowed at her. "Oh Mazikeen. You frightened me"
"Good." Mazikeen stepped towards her and sat on the opposite couch. Her dark eyes trained on Katye. The silence between the women was uncomfortable. "I should have slit your throat when I had the chance." Her voice slithered out.
Katye frowned. She touched her neck. "Why?"
Mazikeen sat back on the couch. "You wouldn't have gotten in that situation." She pointed at Katye's belly. "My mother wouldn't have come to earth. She wouldn't be threatening Lucifer. And I could be out doing something fun. But instead I am here babysitting."
"Oh, I'm sorry to inconvenience you, Mazikeen. Or is it Maze? Lucifer calls you Maze." Katye asked her.
"Only my friends call me Maze. You can call me Mazikeen." She folded her arms.
Katye shrugged. "Oaky. Or Aunt Mazikeen?" She smirked.
Mazikeen shot up on her feet and pulled one of her curved knives out and held it to Katye's throat. "No. Just Mazikeen." She pulled the knife back and then walked towards the elevator. "I will be around. If you need me. Scream." She pushed the button.
"Thank you Mazikeen. Like seriously. Thank you." Katye rose from the couch to face her father's sister. "I know you don't like me. Or you think I mean to harm Lucifer. I just want to tell you I don't mean to harm him. I didn't mean for any of this to happen."
Mazikeen took a deep breath and faced her brother's daughter. "Don't mention it." The girl really wasn't that bad. She was a bit on the naïve side. Overly nice sometimes. But she could sense a powerful spirit brewing within. The elevator opened, and she walked into it.
Once alone Katye picked up her bag and walked into the bedroom. The colossal room made her feel small. She set her bag on the bed and pulled stuff out for the shower. The bathroom matched the rest of the penthouse. Marble floors and walls. The shower was a masterpiece with a rain fall shower head.
Getting into the shower Katye felt her muscles relax. The baby was less active since she wasn't next to Lucifer. She still felt achy as he grew fast. The hot high-pressured water was a godsend. After nearly falling asleep. She got out of the shower and dried off. Then put on her nightgown and headed for the bedroom. Lying on the bed she felt so alone. Her heart missed her brother. She was going to call Barbara and Josie, but her eyes began to close, and she was soon snoring away.
Hours later Katye heard beautiful piano music coming from the living room. She noticed she had been covered up. Smiling she rose slowly to a sitting position. The baby had begun to kick again. "Daddy's home." She patted her belly. Walking towards the entrance to the bedroom she saw him hunched over the piano. His eyes glued to the keys as his hands passionately glided over the keys as he played an old rock and roll song. She hummed along as she stepped down the steps into the living room. His dark eyes flicked up to notice her and then back down to the keys.
"Did you sleep well?" He asked quietly while still playing.
Katye walked across the cold floor to the piano. She placed her hands on the instrument. Feeling its smooth black lacquer finish. "Pretty good." She replied. A smile on her face as she was mesmerized by his playing.
"I thought so. I came home, and you were snoring like an Albanian field wench."
She pursed her lips. Feeling a bit flush. "Was I?" She shrugged. "I'm sorry."
He chuckled. "I put a blanket on you. Poor thing you looked cold."
"Thank you." She was impressed at his hospitality. "And thank you for letting me stay here. I know it's not your thing."
Lucifer stopped playing for a moment and looked at her. His eyes roving up and down her frame. Despite her rounded belly. He still found her as radiant and beautiful as the first time she arrived in Lux. He started to play the song from that night. "Remember this one." It was "Let it Be," by the Beatles.
"Yes. I love that song."
He began to sing it. A smile on his face as their eyes met. "Come on sing with me."
Shaking her head. "Oh, I don't sing." She folded her hands and shifted on her cold bare feet.
"Its just me."
"I know. Its just."
Lucifer kept singing. "Oh, it can't be that bad. Come on, darling. I'm not the judge type."
His smile was too much for her. Those seductive eyes. That charming British accent. Sighing she opened her mouth and sang a few lines. Lucifer just smiled and kept playing. She kept singing. Then he joined in and they sang together. Then the song was over.
"My, that wasn't so bad. And I must say your singing voice is lovely."
"I guess. My brother was the singer in the family." She frowned at the thought of never hearing her brother sing again.
Lucifer scoffed. "I wouldn't call screaming like a demon into a microphone singing."
"No, Rocky really could sing. He was in a boys' choir when he was younger. And he did regular singing in his band. Not just the screaming stuff." She explained. "He was the musical one. I guess he got it from our mother." She paused. Lucifer seemed interested, so she kept talking. "She was a cellist. Or that's what my father said."
Lucifer nodded at her. His hands still playing. He patted the bench beckoning her to sit with him. She sat beside him. He started singing again. An old Sinatra favorites.
Katye relished the moment. Her anger towards him dissipating. She leaned against him. Her head rested on his shoulder. It was like he was singing to her. A hard kick made her cringe and jump. "Ow." He stopped singing and playing. Dark eyes upon her. She touched her belly. "He is a strong kicker."
The Devil nodded and picked up a glass sitting on the piano. He took a sip.
"Come on Lucifer. Feel him." She gently grabbed his free hand and placed it over her belly. She looked over at him. "See, isn't it wonderful?"
Lucifer sighed as he felt the baby moving inside Katye. Then he made a connection. It was like a small voice trying to speak. He smiled and felt something like a hand reaching out to him. "Whoa." He noticed the hand print on her belly through her night gown. Pulling his hand away he stood up and walked over to his bar with his glass and poured it full of whiskey. He drank it down and poured more. His back on Katye. He then heard the piano playing. Turning around he watched her play a Mozart song. He walked over and stood beside the piano.
"I played piano until high school. MY teacher said I was pretty good. I don't know why I stopped." She said. Her eyes downcast at the keys.
Lucifer ran his hand over the top of hers that stopping her from playing he pulled her to stand in front of him. Her dark eyes looking into his. His other hand softly stroked her cheek. "You know the first night I saw you at Lux, your beauty radiated across the club."
She blushed and looked away. His hand gently turning her face back to him.
"And I don't think your radiance comes strictly from that demon blood flowing through your veins. Though I suspect you may be part succubus." He chuckled lightly as he leaned down and placed his lips on hers.
Her arms wrapped around his neck as they kissed. A hand stroked her cheek while the other traveled down her neck and to her breasts. Remarking how much they had grown during her pregnancy. He was not put off by her belly. Her beauty had not diminished. He pulled back from her. His forehead against hers. "We will work this out. Somehow. You and I." He breathed to her.
Katye nodded. "Okay." She whispered.
He took her hand and lead her to the couch. He sat down and then pulled her towards him. She straddled his legs. Then wrapped her arms around his neck again and they kissed passionately. He kissed down her neck. His hand moving down into her nightgown to feel her warm breasts. Katye slid her sleeve down and exposed one of her breasts. His tongue slipped around a nipple making her cry out in delight. Feeling his growing bulge, she rubbed against him.
"Oh, my little beast." He smiled up at her. His mouth still upon her breast as his arms held her tight against him. She moved back and forth over his groin. He pressed his mouth against hers again. She placed her hands on his chest and slowly unbuttoned his shirt and ran her hands over his smooth chest. Then she ran her hands down and touched his belt buckle. Her eyes searching his for permission. "Go on." He breathed into her ear. "You know you want it."
Smiling she unbuckled his belt and unzipped him and ran her hand over his silken boxers. Eager for what came next. She started to pull her nightgown over her head when the elevator dinged. She stopped stripping when she saw who had entered the room.
"I'll be right with you in say twenty minutes." He said with his back to the intruder. He noticed Katye covering herself as she slid off his legs. He was still pitching a tent. He craned his neck to see. Rolling his eyes. "Kairos." He scoffed. "Come back in twenty minutes."
"I need to speak with my daughter." The demon demanded.
"Can it wait?" He didn't hear an answer. Rolling his eyes, he stood up from the couch and faced the demon. "Fine. You talk to your daughter, while I go take care of this." He gestured his growing boner. Then he stomped into his bedroom. Cursing the whole time.
Kairos placed a hand over his eyes. He then looked at his daughter sitting cross legged on the couch. She looked so young and innocent looking at him wearing a pink night gown. He noted how much larger her belly had grown. He also noted the glare in her eyes. "Look, I know you are still mad at me."
She folded her arms and kicked her feet out from under herself and turned away from him. Her ears listening to the sounds of Lucifer having to self-pleasure himself.
"Please Katye." Kairos walked over and knelt in front of his daughter. "I know you don't understand. But I was doing what I thought was the right thing to do. For everyone. I was wrong. Please can you forgive me."
Katye sighed and leaned back on the couch. She found looking at his face it was hard to stay angry. She found she had missed her father. And with Rocky gone. She felt she needed him more. "Oh Dad. I forgive you." She leaned forward and hugged him.
Kairos was grateful that she hugged him. "I love you Katye."
"I missed you." She pulled back from him. "I miss Rocky too." She felt tears forming in her eyes again.
"I miss him too, sweetheart. Believe me. Nothing hurts more than losing a child. But what if I told you he may not be gone forever?"
Katye eyed him. "Like what do you mean?"
Kairos stood up and walked to the opposite couch and sat down. He clasped his hands together. "I spoke with my mother. She told me about the plight in Hell. The chaos threatening to tear it apart. Told me how she wants your baby to rule."
She wrapped her arms around her belly. She was prepared to defend her son again. She was not giving him up.
"Look, Mother thinks that the son of Lucifer is the rightful heir to the throne in Hell. You wouldn't have to give him up forever. You could go with."
Katye felt her baby kicking. She did not like the idea of having to live in Hell just to see her son. "Why are you suddenly agreeing with your mother?" She was suspicious.
"I think it's the best for everyone."
"That's what you said when you tried giving me that potion." She glared at her father.
Kairos sighed. "I know. I was wrong. Living in Hell for you won't be tortured. You'll be treated like royalty. Your son will be a king. He will answer to no one. There he'll at least be safe from God's angels. What do you say? I know its not ideal. But you don't have to live in Hell forever. You can come back to Earth and get married and have other children and still visit your son."
She wanted to believe her father was being sincere. That he was doing what was best. After he had tried to kill her baby she had a hard time with believing him. But he looked so sincere. "Why are you doing this?"
He leaned forward. "Mother has his soul. Rocky's soul."
Katye's eyes widened. "What do you mean? She has his soul?"
"Like, she has his actual soul. She told me if I give her your baby she will give me Rocky's soul. We can have him back. I would just have to find him a new vessel. But we'll have him back."
The idea of seeing her brother again was tempting. Her father was adamant about it. She rubbed her belly. She really didn't want to be separated from her son. "I can still see my son?" She asked.
"Yes. Katye. You can still see him." Kairos replied to her.
"Ok- "
"No." Lucifer interrupted. He stood in the doorway of his bedroom. His hands zipping his pants. His shirt tucked back in. His dark eyes looking upon Kairos. "The answer is no." He stepped into the living room towards the demon.
Kairos stood up to face the Devil. "What do you mean no?"
"What I just precisely told you, Kairos. You cannot have my son to hand off to your mother."
Kairos narrowed his eyes. "Why do you suddenly care?"
Glaring at him Lucifer took a step closer getting nearly in the face of the demon. "I am not going to allow your mother to force my son to do her bidding. I will not do to my son what my father did to me." He glanced down at Katye who was smiling at him.
"But I promised my mother." Kairos pleaded with him.
Lucifer stepped back and walked to his bar and picked up his whiskey glass. He took a drink and looked at the demon. "You promised your mother something that isn't yours to promise."
Kairos scoffed. "Oh, suddenly you care about him." He moved towards Lucifer.
The whiskey glass was slammed down as Lucifer got into the demon's face. "You forget your place demon." The Devil growled. "Do not stand there proclaiming you know what or whom I care about. The answer is still no. Your mother cannot have my son to rule Hell. He will not be forced to be something he doesn't want to be." Lucifer's voice lifted into a yell as he stared down the demon.
"She has his soul, Lucifer." Kairos felt helpless. He had let his emotions get the best of him. Losing Rocky had shaken him. He was not the usual Kairos. "Mother has my son's soul. She said if I handed her the baby than she would give it back. I can have him back."
Lucifer felt a tinge of empathy for Kairos. "I understand your desperation." He started to say.
"No, you don't. You don't understand. You will never understand what it means to be a father. To sacrifice for your children. To watch them grow up from a distance. To not be able to hold them. Tell them you love them every day." Kairos's voice cracked.
"Do not tell me what I don't understand. The fate of my son will lie on him. He will be the one to decide his place." Lucifer watched the demons moved back. He was clearly agitated.
"What am I going to tell my mother?" Kairos asked.
Lucifer shrugged. "That is not my problem. Next time don't promise what is not yours. Capiche?" A wicked grin moved across the Devil's handsome visage.
"She will destroy his soul."
"Again, not my problem." Lucifer turned away from Kairos.
The demon felt rage build up within. He growled and lunged for Lucifer. Kairos collided with Lucifer and the two tumbled head over heel between the couches. Katye yelped and lifted her feet as Lucifer and her father exchanged blows. Lucifer rolled to the side and got to his feet. Quickly reaching down to pick the foolish demon up by his collar. He threw Kairos through the plate glass windows overlooking the balcony and the city. Glass rained down as Kairos slid through the glass barrier on the balcony. He came to rest with part of his body dangling over the side. He was then pulled upright and then held dangling over the city.
"Don't be foolish, Kairos." Lucifer held him by the collar. His handsome face had turned that of the true Devil. "Don't you see that your mother is playing your emotions. She is using your son to play you. Don't you see that?" Lucifer pulled him back from the edge. He then released the demon. "I will not kill you in front of your daughter."
Katye was standing just inside the doors. Her eyes full of tears. Kairos collapsed to his knees on the balcony. The weight of losing Rocky was too much. Katye ran towards him over broken glass. She knelt next to him. "Daddy." She wrapped her arms around him.
Lucifer stood over them. He was amazed that Katye hadn't cut herself on the broken glass. He watched Katye hug her father. He sighed. "Look Kairos. We will figure out what to do about your mother. We will also figure out how to get your son's soul from her."
The demon stood up with his daughter. She was still hugging him. He nodded. "Okay Lucifer."
The three of them walked back into the penthouse. Lucifer headed to the bar and poured two glasses of whiskey. He handed one to Kairos. The two of them drank for a moment. Katye was sitting on the couch. Her eyes nodding in fatigue.
"Darling." Lucifer said to her. "Why don't you go back to sleep? You clearly need it. Your father and I have much to discuss."
Katye stood up wearily and walked over to Lucifer and Kairos. "Okay. I am beat." She smiled and hugged her father. "Goodnight Dad. I love you." She wiped blood from his cheek. Turning to Lucifer. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her. She smiled and waved before walking to the bedroom.
The two men. Devil and demon watched her disappear into the bedroom. They were silent for a few moments. Lucifer finally cleared his throat. "And Kairos. I know you don't think so. But I do care about my son. I don't know how to explain it. But this overwhelming urge to protect him came over me. And Katye. I care a great deal about your daughter."
Kairos nodded. "I understand Lucifer. Maybe I was wrong about you."
Lucifer chuckled. "It only took you a millennium." They both laughed. "Now, your mother probably won't show up until after the baby is born. Which will probably be at least another week. So, we'll need to come up with a strategy to fight her off and get Rocky's soul. Deal."
Kairos nodded. "Deal Lucifer."
Katye lie in Lucifer's bed. She listened to the plan her father and Lucifer were concocting to keep Lilith from taking the baby and to get Rocky's soul back. She closed her eyes and nodded off. Then a time later she felt the bed move. Lucifer slid in behind her and pulled her close to him. She felt content in the warmth of his arms. He kissed her neck. His hands rubbing her breasts again. Then one traveling down her belly and then to her thighs. She let his hand travel further down. She gasped out loud as he began to stroke her.
"Shall we continue what we started earlier?" He breathed into her ear.
