Chloe, Maze, and Lucifer arrived at the hospital in a flurry of activity. Lucifer had called Maze at her apartment below the penthouse after Chloe had gone into labor. Maze quickly drove them to the hospital and proceeded to call Chloe's mom and Dan who had not yet arrived at the hospital.

Chloe, Lucifer, and Maze approached the reception desk at the hospital. A nurse quickly obtained a wheelchair for Chloe and Lucifer followed them nervously to the maternity ward. Maze was told she had to stay in the waiting area. She was pissed, taking seriously her role at the children's protector but on Lucifer's orders she followed the nurse's request. The nurse set Chloe up in a private room, being Mrs. Morningstar did have its perks, and left Chloe and Lucifer alone while she contacted Dr. Chan.

Chloe grunted in pain as another contraction ripped through her. Lucifer sat at her bedside.

"Normally I'd say that sound is almost attractive but you seem to be in a lot of pain."

"Gee you think? I am kind of giving birth here."

"I am sorry for all the pain you know. A large portion of the blame is on me."

"Despite what I might say over the next few hours we're both equally responsible."

Lucifer smirked at her. "Oh no not that. Although yes I guess we were both equally to blame there. I'm speaking of Eve of course. I did offer the apple and pain during childbirth is part of the punishment for her taking it."

"You're fucking with me."

"As much as I enjoy that particular activity, I am very serious."

Chloe looked at him seriously. "You realize your odds of getting laid ever again are decreasing the longer you keep your mouth open."

The smirk started to leave Lucifer's face. "I'm beginning to see the quickly diminishing odds, yes."

Dr. Chan knocked on the door and let herself into the hospital room. She smiled at the expectant parents. Today was going to suck but at least it would mean the end of dealing with these two. She prayed to god that these two would never decide to procreate again or at least they would find a different doctor if they choose too. She was done gambling forever after this, she couldn't owe another favor to Lucifer Morningstar.

"How are we feeling today?"

"I'm in labor how do you think I'm feeling? This is the worst pain I've ever felt." Lucifer winced as Chloe grabbed his hand and squeezed hard.

"Well, let's see where you're at. Your first delivery always takes longer." Dr. Chan examined Chloe. "Alright looks like you're moving along fairly quickly. You're about 4 centimeters dilated. What time did your labor pains start?"

"They were noticeable about two hours ago."

Dr. Chan nodded. "This seems like it will be a fast delivery. i'll come check on you again in an hour or so and see where we're at."

"Thank god!" Chloe shouted relieved.

"Hey!" Lucifer shouted indignant.

Dr. Chan smiled and turned and left Chloe and Lucifer alone.

One Hour Later

Chloe was still not ready to deliver. The longer the labor went on the more annoyed with Lucifer she got and the more damage his poor hand suffered. Chloe's mother and Dan had arrived at the hospital. Lucifer asked Chloe is she wanted her mother in the delivery room. If looks could kill the devil would certainly be dead for asking that question despite the recent truce between mother and daughter. She had shouted at him, "aren't you bad enough?"

Six Hours Later

Dr. Chan returned to check on Chloe's progress again.

"Alright Chloe. You're looking really great here. I think you're about ready to push. Ready to meet your kids mom and dad?"

Chloe sighed in relief. "Fuck yes, get them out of me!"

Lucifer's eyes grew wide at the idea. Reality was starting to set in that soon he would have two half-human/half-angel beings completely dependent on him and Chloe.

He really hoped he didn't accidentally kill his kids.

A few minutes passed and Dr. Chan checked on Chloe again. "Okay Chloe. You're going to have to push for me now."

Lucifer's poor hand was black and blue at this point.

Chloe squeezed hard as she pushed. A few minutes passed of encouraging words and painful grunts.

"Lucifer!"

"My love, you're doing great. I'm here."

A cry filled the air.

Lucifer looked up to see a squirming little being covered in blood. His breathe caught in his throat.

"Congratulations You have a little girl."

The baby was handed off to a nurse to be cleaned. Tears formed in Chloe's eyes and she smiled. Than another wave of pain hit her.

"Alright folks, let's deliver the little brother. Chloe push!"

The second baby came out more smoothly and quickly than the first. Two minutes passed between the birth of their daughter and son.

Another cry filled the air.

Lucifer saw another red squirming being crying angrily at the world. Their son followed his sister into the arms of a nurse.

"It's a boy! You're doing great Chloe. We just have to deliver the afterbirth now and we'll be finished."

Chloe sighed and delivered the afterbirth successfully.

"We're done!" Dr. Chan said happily.

Chloe's breathing was heavy as she caught her breathe. Lucifer kissed her on the top of her head, saying encouraging words of love to her. The nurses cleaned and weighed the babies. An hour later they were returned to their parents.

"Here you are. The babies Morningstar are both happy and healthy. Your daughter was 7 pounds 4 ounces and your son was 8 pounds 2 ounces." Dr. Chan said smiling brightly at them as she handed off their daughter to Chloe. Their daughter was placed in her left arm as a nurse placed their son in her right. "A nurse will be in soon to show you how to nurse. Again congratulations."

Chloe remained silent as she stared at the two creatures she was holding. Tears forming in her eyes but remaining silent.

Lucifer looked at the two pink creatures with wide eyes and cone shaped heads.

They were one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen.

Chloe gave him a watery smile. "Thank you for them. They're amazing."

"They do seem to just lay there. Their lung capacity is amazing relative to their size."

"Stop it you dope. You're just as amazed with them as I am."

Lucifer's gaze shifted between the babies and his wife. A secretive smile crossed his lips. "Perhaps."

"Even the devil can admit to being emotional at the birth of his children. Here hold our son."

"Oh I don't think…."

"We practiced this remember? Just remember to support his head." Chloe eased their son into his arms. Lucifer found himself holding the delicate infant tentatively.

"Relax. Babies are more durable than you think, don't be so nervous."

"I am not nervous. My hand has just been crushed today."

"Uh-huh." Chloe grinned fondly at her family.

Her family.

It was all she had ever wanted and something she hadn't had since her father died eight years ago.

"So we are still all settled on our names for our offspring?"

"Beatrice Penelope Morningstar is such a mouthful."

"I suggested Chloe as a middle name."

"I don't want to name our kid after myself."

"As you've mentioned. You do however keep on insisting on that hideous nickname."

"You're going to give our kid a complex you know that?"

"I will only call her Beatrice. It's a much more dignified name. That someone that is part celestial being should be reduced to such a common name as Trixie is beyond me."

Chloe rolled her eyes at him. She knew he would give in eventually. He always caved for her. Her gazed turned to her son.

"Leonardo John Morningstar. Leo Morningstar shouldn't be to terrible to learn to spell."

"Let it be remembered for all eternity that I choose the superior name."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "You essentially named our child after yourself since you named him after something you created."

"The name also means bravery, something he will need in the years ahead. If our daughter has inherited your tendency for trouble our son will need to be there to back her up."

"My tendency for trouble? Look who's talking Old Scratch."

"Well played, detective. Well played indeed."
