Epilogue - Part 1

He start to stand up again and starts to walk towards his elevator. Given his current state, Chloe easily stops him and takes his arm.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Leaving of course. I need to go after her." He simply replies, as if it was obvious.

"Not in a million years Lucifer." She says, in a very mother like tone.

"It's a good thing I was not asking for your permission then. My dear mom is a ticking bomb at the moment. She's angry, scared and blinded by her revenge against her ex."

"And you're in no shape to fight her." She cuts him. "Don't you realise. She threw you across the room as if you were nothing but a rag-doll. And need I remind you that you are vulnerable around her as well."

"Don't you think I know all this Chloe." He tells her. "But I don't have a choice. If I don't do anything soon, many people could die in LA, and given the record of this city, there will never be enough room for everyone down there." He adds jokingly, trying to change the topic.

Chloe doesn't take the bait. "And if you want to have the slightest chance of stopping her, you need be fully rested when you face her." She argues with him. "What good are you gonna be to those poor souls if you can't stand, let alone fight?."

"I'll find a way." He states.

"How about I cut you a deal?" She reasons. "You can't say no to a deal. You're the Devil." She grins at him.

"What are you offering?" He can't help himself. "Does it involve you in Eve's clothes and me in Adam's?"

Chloe ignores the last part of his answer. "From what I saw, your mother has grown very powerful and facing her alone would be reckless." He smiles at that. "I mean, more than the usual."

"Well, for you information, my mother has always been this strong, even back in the days. We were scared out of our wits when we were younger. Hell, I was mortified when I found out she escaped. I just never thought her powers could be so strong in such a frail shell."

"And you wanted to face her alone and injured?"

For once, he is the one to roll his eyes. "I believe you talked about a deal?"

"I did. Here is what I'm offering." She looks deep into his eyes. "You rest for a few hours, you get your strength back and I'll call Maze and Amenediel so they meet us back here around 8am. Then we can all go kick some angelic asses."

He seems to ponder his options for a while. "This is reasonable enough." He finally agrees. "On one condition though."

"What is it?"

"You sleep with me."

"Lucifer." She starts.

"As you know I'm always up for a bit bedroom fun, but this time, I really did mean sleep. But fear not Chloe, we'll revisit this idea later on though." He smiles.

"Deal. I'll just call your brother and Maze first." She takes Lucifer's phone and starts to dial them. When she gets no reply, she turns around, only to see Lucifer enter his bedroom. "Wow, no come back or innuendos about this whole conversation, he must really be exhausted." She thinks. Because she got sent straight to voicemail for both calls, she sends them a text. "Hey guys. Things got a little heated between Lucifer and Charlotte over here. Turns out she is more than she lets on. Lucifer is resting at the moment. Can you come over for breakfast. Chloe." She hits send and puts the phone back on the table. As she does so, she realises she is also exhausted and a few more hours of sleep wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.

She hesitates if she should just go directly to his room, or if she should stop by the room where Trixie sleeps and lie down with her for a bit. She decides for just a peek in the guest room. Trixie is sleeping soundly and Chloe doesn't have the heart to risk waking her up by lying down beside her. And if she is being honest with herself, all she wants right now is to have his arms around her. When she enters his bedroom, she sees him, lying on his back, hands clasped behind his head. He is already half asleep. "Oh the ways I could wake him right now" She thinks. But he needs to rest she reminds herself. She climbs into bed as quietly as possible, but fails miserably. Because as soon as the bed shifts, Lucifer turns on his side to face her.

"You made it Chloe." His voice still heavy with sleep.

"Well a deal is a deal. Especially one with the Devil." She winks at him.

"Indeed it is. But I thought you might want to stay a bit with the spawn before joining me."

"To be honest, it crossed my mind, but she was so peaceful, I might have waken her up. And right now, your arms are way more tempting." She smiles back at him.

"Well then Chloe, feel free to use me a pillow all you want." He grins, scooting closer to her. Chloe puts her head on his chest and his arms go around her, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

"Good night Lucifer."

"Mmmmmmh." Lucifer replies, already going back to sleep.

A few hours later

Trixie wakes up slowly and takes in her surroundings. She looks around and starts to freak out, until she sees her ninja/ballerina doll. Then she slowly remembers what happened and that she's sleeping at Lucifer's. Her first reflex is to call her mom.

"Mooooooooom." She loudly says. She waits for a few seconds and tries it again, louder this time. "Mooooooooooooom." When she gets no reply, she decides to go wake her up in Lucifer's room. She sits up, exits the room and crosses the living room. She sees her dad, and decides to wake him up instead of her mom.

"Dad." she calls. "Dad, come on wake up!" She shakes him a bit. The movement and the worn-off effect of the pills are enough to wake Dan up.

"What is it!" Dan says groggily. He softens once he sees the face of his daughter. "Hey there Munchkin. How are you feeling?" He adds, giving her hug. Then he looks around the room and sees the broken piano. "What the hell happened in here. Did I sleep through this?" He asks aloud.

"Dad. I'm hungry." She says matter-of-factly.

"Where's your mom?" He asks, sitting up and taking her on his laps.

"She in Lucifer's room."

"Oh, I see." He replies, looking towards the room.

"I'm hungry Dad. Can you make me breakfast."

"Of course Munchkin." Then he grins. "But you know, I don't really know what I can make you for breakfast. And where the different things are. Why don't you go ask Lucifer what I can use to make breakfast?"

"Okay." She hops off his laps and makes her way to Lucifer's bedroom. "Lucifer?" She calls out. When she doesn't get a reply, she decides to peek into the room. She sees the both of them sound asleep, relaxed and still tangled together. She giggles and decides to launch herself onto the bed. She lands right in the middle. They start to stirr.

"What the bloody Hell was that!" Lucifer groans. Then he sees Trixie "What do you think you're doing small human?"

Trixie wiggles herself further between them as an answer to Lucifer's annoyed question. She forces Lucifer to untangle himself from Chloe in the process.

"Your spawn is evil" He says to Chloe.

She chuckles and kisses her daughter's forehead. "Hey Monkey." Then she looks at Lucifer, half apologizing for the not so gentle awakening, half smiling, because the face he makes is simply priceless. When Lucifer gets no answer from Chloe or Trixie, he repeats:

"What is she doing here?"

"I'm hungry". Trixie answers.

"And you thought it was a good idea to barge in to demand breakfast. Isn't this the role of your parents? Can't your dad feed you?"

"He said I should ask you what he could make me for breakfast because he doesn't live here. He said I should come and wake you up."

"Of course he did." Lucifer mumbles.

Trixie nods and looks, a huge smile on her angelic face. She looks at her mom "Does that mean Lucifer is your new boyfriend now?"

"Did Daddy tell you to ask me?" Chloe asks, curious as to why her daughter would ask such a question.

"Mooom." She replies slightly annoyed. "You know I'm not a kid anymore. I'm nearly 8." She pauses "I don't need Dad to explain it to me. I just figured, you know, since you sleep in the same bed and he is naked." She grins.

"She is spending too much time with Lucifer" Chloe thinks. She quickly replies to her daughter, not ready to have THE talk about the birds and the bees. "Lucifer is not naked Monkey."

"But he doesn't have any t-shirt or pajamas on."

"He got too hot during the night and took them off." Chloe tries to justify. She looks at Lucifer for support but the smile she sees on his face tells her he is enjoying her discomfort more than he should. Lucifer starts to say something about his current lack clothes, but before he can get anything out, Chloe manages to elbow him. He closes his mouth, but the mischief on his face still remain. "Anyway, how about you go wait for us in the kitchen. We'll be here in a minute." Trixie doesn't seem to willing to move.

"I think I have some Lucky Charms in a cupboard somewhere." Lucifer says, trying to get rid of the spawn.

Trixie's face lights up at the thought of the sugery delight. "Mom, Can I?"

"Trixie. You know it's not healthy."

"Come on Mom. Pleaaaaaaaase." She smiles.

"Yeah Mom, pleeeeease." Lucifer repeats, giving her his best smile.

Chloe gives in. "Fine. But only this once and because we're at Lucifer's."

"Cool. Thanks Mom." She hugs Chloe and gets out of bed to tell her dad about what she can have for breakfast.

Once he is sure the child is in the living room and is not going to come back for at least a few minutes, he comes closer to Chloe and asks, genuinely puzzled.

"Well that's not the wake-up call I was expecting. Does this happen often?"

"Well..." She starts.

"Well?" He inquires.

"It is a habit she has taken. I mean, Dan and I have been separated for a while and I have never brought a boyfriend home, so she kinda took the habit of walking in without asking before she comes in."

"We're gonna have to work on that. At least teach her to knock and wait for an answer before barging in like a demon."

"Hey!" She slaps him on the chest lightly. "Watch it. It's my daughter you're talking about. Besides you don't have a door, so there's no point."

"I can fix this door-problem easily." He replies. "Now can I get a proper hello from my girlfriend." He replies, emphasizing the word girlfriend with air-quotes.

"I don't know. You haven't been very nice this morning."

"Whatever do you mean?"

"Well, you did mock me earlier on." She says, her lips coming closer to his.

"I'll just have to make up for this then." With that he kisses her.

He takes advantage of the situation and turns her so he standing on top of her. He pushes her into the mattress and deepens the kiss. Chloe responds in ruffling his hair and wrapping her legs around him. She roams her hands over his back, avoiding his scars, then brings them to his chest. She pushes him off. When he starts kissing his way down, she tells him out of breath:

"Lucifer."

"Mmmmmmmh"

"As good as morning sex with you sounds, we have to stop."

"Why?"

"Because my daughter is in the other room, and you don't have a lock, or a door for that matter."

"The Douche is with her, giving her breakfast." He answers, still kissing her, his hands going up and down her body.

"And who sent her here in the first place?"

"Don't remember." He simply says, attacking one of her nipple.

Chloe almost gives into him when she hears Trixie calling her from the kitchen. She puts her hands on his shoulders. "Lucifer. I need this as well, but not now." Her tone almost pleading.

He reluctantly stops his ministrations and rolls off her, and Chloe almost sighs at the loss of contact. "You really enjoy torturing me don't you."

"I'm sorry, but we'll pick this up later, I promise. Besides Maze is gonna be here any second now."

"She does like to watch you know." Chloe rolls her eyes at the comment. "Don't worry about it. It's fine." He reassures her. "Who knew a child could be so demanding."

"Thank you. She says sincerely. "Just so you know, Amenediel is going to be here as well. Do you want him to watch as well?" She stands, wearing only his shirt. Then she looks at him, and particularly where a bulge is now visible. "Maybe you should wait a minute before coming to the kitchen."

He laughs at the unintended pun. "No need. The thought of my brother watching us might just have done the trick." He replies looking at his midsection. "But if you want me to concentrate, you should put something other than my shirt for breakfast." He replies, seizing her up and down, his eyes still dark. She takes a sweater she brought some other day.

"Better?"

"Nope. Not helping."

"You're impossible." She says, smiling. Then she puts her jeans on. He follows her soon after, selects one of the few pairs of jeans he owns and puts them on. He starts to walk out.

"Hum, Lucifer."

"Yes?"

"If you want me to concentrate, please put your shirt on."

"As you wish, my Lady." He says choosing of of his casual shirt from his walking dressing.

Then they both head tothe kitchen. When they enter, they see Trixie eating her cereal and Dan caught up in a fierce battle with the coffee machine.

"Looks like the machine is winning Daniel." Lucifer says teasing him.

"Yeah. Is it my fault you have to be an engineer to make this work? How many programs do you have on that thing?" He replies, frustrated. "By the way, what took you so long?"

"You can't rush perfection Daniel." He answers."Here, let me." Lucifer gestures to Dan to step aside. He pushes a series of buttons on the machine, and it starts brewing the black beverage. He opens his fridge. "What do you want for breakfast. I have pancakes, bacon, eggs or waffles."

"Pancakes sound good." Dan says.

"I wasn't talking to you" He replies. "But I guess I can make a few extras for you."

"Me too Lucifer?" Trixie asks.

"Why not." He looks at Chloe. "Do you want any?"

"Sure." She gives him a warm smile.

"Alright then." He says, turning on the stove.

As he takes out the first pancakes from the pan to give them to Chloe, who will eventually give them to her daughter, he hears the voice of his brother. His blood starts to heat up in his veins, because he agreed to give the last piece of the Sword to their mother.

"Do you have some pancakes for me Brother. You seem to have the hang of it."

"Well, Hello to you too." His tone sarcastic. "Where is Maze?"

"How should I know, we don't live together."

"Of course you don't. You just have casual sex with her." Trixie giggles when she hears the word sex and Chloe nudges him in the shoulder.

"What?" He replies. Then he turns back to his brother.

"Why are you angry with me all of a sudden Luci?" Amenediel asks.

Before Lucifer can answer, Chloe puts an end to their conversation. "Enough." She says and she shows Trixie. Then she tells her daughter.

"Hey Monkey, can you go watch come TV while we talk?"

"Can't I stay? Maze said I was big enough to hear grown-up stuff." She replies challenging her mother.

"Trixie." Chloe replies. "Please take your pancakes and go watch some TV."

"But Mom."

"No buts." She cuts her. "Now go."

"Fine." She takes the chocolate sauce with her "But I'm taking this."

Lucifer tries to stop her, but she is already gone. He simply says "Just watch it. It's italian leather."

"Promise Lucifer!" Trixie says.

Once Trixie in on the couch, Lucifer realises Dan is still sitting at the counter eating. He stands behind him and starts to make Chloe understand she has to somehow get rid of him, so they can talk about their mom and the case in peace. Chloe looks at him quizzically. She understood what he wanted the second she saw Lucifer point his finger at Dan. But seeing him trying to mime his message was way too funny. After all, he did mock her earlier on. So she is merelyt evening things out. After a few moments, she finally decides to help him:

"Look Dan, maybe we should go back to the precinct, you know, just in case Ella has some new stuff about the case."

Dan's phone rings. "Speaking of Ella." He slides the green phone on his screen to answer. "Espinoza." He pauses. "Ok Ella, text me the address. I'll be right over." He then turns to Chloe. "Looks like they found the body of our murderer."

"Really?" Lucifer says.

"Yeah. At the back of an alley, near the carnival by the pier. Vice was working near when they found it. He had a written note and everything. Apparently it's a suicide. According to Ella, it fits some sort of japanese ritual. Ella says the guy has a huge whole through his chest"

"Wow." He answers, a bit over dramatic. "That's fantastic. You should really go check the body." He pauses. "Here's an idea, why don't you go as well Detective?"

"What about Trixie?" Chloe asks.

"I'll ask Maze to stay with her while you're away." He replies. "Amenediel and I have a few things to deal with as well."

"Ok. Just be careful. And call once it's done."

"I will certainly do so." He kisses her, Dan and Amenediel awkwardly look away from the scene.

"So much for keeping the PDA to a minimum" Chloe thinks. Lucifer lets her go. Before exiting, she makes her way to her daughter and hugs her. She kneels beside her. "Hey Monkey. Dad and I have to go for a bit. They found the bad man who took you and who did all those terrible things. I shouldn't be too long. Are you OK to stay here with Maze?"

"Maze's gonna babysit me today?"

"Yes."

"Cooool." Then she looks at her mom. "It's ok Mom. You can go. I know I'm safe now.

"Alright. I'll see you later Monkey. Love you.

"I love you too Mom."
