Feeling rested Katye opened her eyes. She had been sleeping for days it felt like. Only getting up to eat and feed the baby. She rose from the bed. Looking over she noticed that she was alone. Sighing she stood up and pulled on her robe. Looking in Rory's bassinet he was not there. Alarmed she ran into the living room. She was relieved. Lucifer was on the couch with Rory on his chest. Both fast asleep. Katye walked over to them. She kissed them both on the forehead. Noticing movement on the balcony she spied her father.
He was standing on the balcony smoking a cigarette. Wearing his black trench coat and his hair in a ponytail. The sun was starting to rise above the horizon. He turned when he sensed someone behind him. He smiled at his daughter. "You look rested."
"I feel pretty good." Katye stood beside him. She looked out over the city.
"That's good." Kairos remarked. He sighed and glanced into the penthouse. "I never thought I would see the day where the Prince of Darkness slept with a tiny infant on his chest."
Katye rolled her eyes. "I know you don't like Lucifer."
"Its not that, Katye. I've known Lucifer for millennium. And its refreshing to see a change in him. Living on Earth will do that to a celestial. I've seen a change in my sister too." He explained. He flicked his cigarette away. Turning to his daughter. "I am so sorry."
Katye shrugged. "For what?"
"Well, you know. For the potion and trying to pawn your son off to my mother. I am so sorry I put you through that. I never wanted to hurt you. Tammy would be horrified to hear I did that."
Katye hugged him. "I forgive you."
He wrapped his arms around her. "I'm sorry about Rocky."
She pulled back from him. "Wait a second." She smiled and ran into the penthouse. In a minute she returned and held out a black box to her father. "I caught it when Lilith threw it into the demon horde."
Kairos smiled. "Rocky." He pulled the box to his chest.
"Will you really be able to bring him back?" Katye asked.
"In a way. I'm afraid I will have to find him a new body. But he will essentially still be Rocky only he may not have his demon powers." Kairos replied to her.
Katye shook her head. "I just want Rocky."
"Me too." Kairos smiled at her. He slid a strand of hair behind her ear. "I have to be leaving today."
She frowned. "Why?"
Sighing the demon turned away from her. Looking out over the city with encroaching light. "The US Marshal's are on my trail again. I need to lead them on another wild goose chase."
"Why are they after you? Did you kill someone?"
"A few someone's. But trust me. They were people who deserved what they got. This same marshal has been after me for decades. Before that his father was after me. And his father before him. They aren't ordinary marshal's. They are demonhunters."
Katye raised an eyebrow. "Demonhunters?"
"Humans with an extra ability to track demons, its passed down through families. The Goodson family has been tracking me for centuries." Kairos smiled slightly.
"Will they kill you?" She was worried.
"Yes. If they can catch me." Kairos laughed.
"Am I in danger?"
Kairos shook his head. "No. I told Lucifer about them. He won't let anything happen to you. And no demonhunter is a match for the Devil himself."
She nodded. "Okay." She sighed. "I'm going to miss you."
"I will be back. I will give you a way to stay in contact." He dug into his coat and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Katye. "Here. This is the facility where your mother is. She is there under a different name. If you want to go, see her."
Katye smiled. "I do. Thank you."
Kairos hugged her. "You take care of yourself."
"Dad?"
"Yes?"
"What did Amenadiel mean when said that Rory has to behave himself. "
Kairos took a deep breath. "Your son is powerful. Lucifer will have to teach him to manage his powers. If not properly managed. He can cause great destruction. If could cause divinity to be revealed to humans. And there is a balance the must be maintained." Kairos explained to her. "In the past God had to take care of Nephilim by flooding the Earth or having his angels- "He paused. "Kill them,"
Katye gasped. "Kill?"
"Yes. But Rory will be fine. Okay. He will be just fine."
"Okay." She sighed. "Dad, I am really sorry I burned down your house."
Kairos let loose a deep laugh. "You think that was my only house?" He hugged her again. "I have many houses, dear. It was just stuff. But hopefully you can learn how to harness that power of yours."
"Maze said she wants to teach me."
"I don't know if that's the best idea." Kairos chuckled. "But I am glad to see my sister taking a shine to anyone." He pulled away from her. "I will see you soon. Take care of yourself. I love you." He stepped back towards the shadows. They grew darker until he was enveloped. Then he was gone.
Katye sighed when she was alone on the porch. She looked down at the piece of paper. She was determined to go and meet her birth mother. She then walked back into the penthouse. Rory was beginning to stir on his father's chest. She reached down to gently lift him from Lucifer. "I bet you are hungry." She smiled at her son. Kissing him on the forehead. She sat on the opposite couch and began to nurse Rory.
Lucifer stirred from his sleep. He stood up suddenly when he realized the baby was not in his arms. He looked over at Katye. He sighed. "Good morning." He said to her.
"Good morning, Lucifer." She smiled up at him.
Lucifer blinked for a moment. Trying to wake up. "Feels like we slept for days."
She laughed. "Yeah. Its does. But I feel good now."
"Good." He stood up and stretched then wandered over to his bar. He began fumbling with the espresso machine. "Where did your father go?"
"He said he had to leave." She frowned. "Something about a demonhunter after him."
"Ah yes. He told me about that." Lucifer walked back with a small coffee cup. He took a sip. He sat down beside Katye. "You have nothing to worry about that old demonhunter."
Katye shrugged. "I'm not worried. Dad told me you would keep me safe."
"Damn right." Lucifer kissed her cheek. "No one messes with my lady."
Katye smiled and leaned against him with Rory still nursing. "He'll be back."
"Kairos. Sure, he will." Lucifer mused. His arm around her. His phone then rang. It was sitting on an end table. Lucifer picked it up and answered it. "Detective." He purred into the phone. "Yeah, I will b right there." He set his phone down and kissed Katye. "Duty calls."
She nodded. "Okay. You go get those bad guys and punish them." She was supportive of Lucifer's job. She was even supportive of his relationship with the Detective. She and Lucifer had agreed on an open relationship.
"I will, darling." Lucifer stood up and headed into his bedroom.
Rory finished nursing and Katye patted his back to burp him. She was happy that everything was good again. "Oh Rory. What will we do today?" She cradled him. "No doubt some sort of adventure."
Far below the penthouse, Thomas Goodson sat in a Ford Crown Victoria. He held binoculars to his eyes. He spied the man in the trench coat smoking on the balcony. On the seat beside him folders full of photos and files. He had been searching for this Kairos for years. As a child he had been told stories of how his father and grandfathers had been tracking the demon.
Goodson was sure he had him now. He watched him talking to the woman. He picked up a phone and dialed it. It rang a few times. "Senator Wilde? Yes, it's Goodson. I found your granddaughter." He nodded. "Yes, I think she may be able to lead me to your daughter." He listened to the other end. "Right. I will get back to you soon." He hung up the phone and resumed his spying. Kairos was gone. He started the car. It was time to get to work. He picked up his phone again. Dialing it. "Detective Decker. This is Goodson." He put the car into drive and headed for the precinct.
