Chloe sat outside with her mom. As soon as she was able to get in touch with her mother and let her know she was alive, the woman had come down as soon as she could. Things were going exceptionally well too. There hadn't been a shred of discord between them.

"Dear, you have no idea how happy I was to hear you were alive. Although, I almost collapsed when I heard your voice for the first time," Penelope said.

"Yeah, I know, Mom. I've been shocking a lot of people. I'm really sorry for what you had to go through," Chloe said.

"Well, it certainly isn't your fault. This Pierce person is going to suffer for what he's done, right?" Penelope asked.

"Oh, yes, he will definitely suffer. The DA said that he's not even contesting the charges," Chloe said. Cain must have realized that since God had personally gotten involved to ensure his downfall, there was no point in trying to escape justice.

"That man attended your funeral! As if what he'd done wasn't enough!" she said angrily.

"It's okay, Mom. He'll never hurt anyone again," Chloe assured her.

"I know I run the risk of making you angry by bringing this up, but I wanted to explain to you why I didn't take Trixie," Penelope said.

"Mom, it's…"

"No, Chloe, please let me do this. I came here with the intention of taking Trixie, even though every part of me said it was the last thing you wanted, and I can't deny that that knowledge made the pain I was feeling even worse. But when I was here, I watched Trixie and Lucifer. I watched Trixie go to Lucifer anytime she needed something. I watched him give it to her without even hesitating. He acted like her father without even realizing it," Penelope explained to her daughter.

Chloe smiled as she listened to how the relationship between her daughter and partner first developed.

"They were both devastated. You may not have realized it yet, Dear, but that man loves you more than anything, with the exception of Trixie. I could see that not long after I got here. Lucifer and Trixie got through their loss together. It was the only way they could. The thing that made me realize that I had to leave Trixie behind was what happened the day of your funeral. Trixie didn't attend, neither did Lucifer. Trixie didn't want to go. She didn't understand it. Even when it was explained to her, she didn't want to do it. She didn't see the need for it. I tried to make her go, but Lucifer wouldn't allow it. He could see that she didn't need a funeral to honor her parents. She didn't need it to say goodbye to you. That's when I realized you were right not to want Trixie with me." Penelope told her.

"Mom, I know you would've done the best you could for Trixie if you'd taken her," Chloe said. She truly did believe that, but at the same time, she still didn't want her mother raising her daughter. What her mother thought was best just wouldn't have been.

"But it wouldn't have been enough. I know, Chloe. It's okay. When I tried to make Trixie go to your funeral, I was thinking about appearances. Lucifer didn't care about that. He only cared about what was best for Trixie. I heard the two of them talking in Trixie's room a few hours later, and I realized, he was the one that would give her what you wanted for her," Penny finished.

Chloe hugged her mother. "Thank you, Mom."

Penelope pulled away after a moment. "You're not angry then?"

"No, I'm grateful. You did do what was best for Trixie, Mom. You did it by realizing that you weren't what was best for her. You gave her the parent she needed in order to get through all this. I will never forget that," Chloe said strongly. She never felt so grateful to her mom as she was right now. It was rare that she could say her mother came through for her, but this was one of the times that she did. She did the right thing for Trixie.

Penelope nodded. "Anytime I'd visit, I'd see the two of them, and I'd see how well Trixie was coping. I believed I did the right thing, and I wanted to believe you'd think so too, but I couldn't be sure."

"You can be sure now. Trixie needed Lucifer. She still does," Chloe said.

"What about you and Lucifer? Like I said, Chloe, he loves you."

Chloe sighed. "I don't know. I mean, we haven't really gotten the chance to sit down and talk about everything. It's been really hectic. Lucifer was basically in a state of shock for a couple of days. Then we had things to deal with. We had to find a way to tell the world I wasn't dead and deal with everything involving those who were responsible, which we're still dealing with. Plus, we've been worried about Trixie. She's been really scared. She doesn't like leaving my side."

"Yes, I noticed that. Do you think she'll be alright?" Penelope asked concerned.

"Yeah, we've spoken with someone about it. We think that after getting back to a normal routine for a little while, she'll be okay. The point is, there's been so much going on that Lucifer and I haven't really had much of a chance to talk about the two of us," Chloe said.

"I can understand that, Chloe, but I think you should find the time to do it. I think you know now more than ever that the chance could be gone at any moment."

Chloe nodded. She did know that. She was lucky to have a second chance. She shouldn't waste it. She and Lucifer needed to talk soon. "You're right, Mom. We have to figure it out soon."

"I should go. It's getting late. I'll stop by again in the morning before I have to leave, if that's alright," Penelope said.

"Of course it is," Chloe said before hugging her mother. The two of them stood up. "I'll see you tomorrow, Mom."

"Bye, Dear," she said before heading for her car.

Chloe went back inside and immediately heard Trixie and Lucifer talking in the kitchen as Lucifer cleaned the kitchen up from dinner.

"Today was so much fun. Mommy and Nana didn't even fight once," Trixie was saying.

"Well, certainly not. They were happy to see each other. I imagine your grandmother was as happy as we were when your mother first came home," Lucifer said.

"I know, but they fight every time Nana comes over," Trixie said.

"I think we're gonna try not to do that so much, Monkey," Chloe said. She couldn't say they'd never fight. Mothers and daughter's fought. Plus, her and her mother were so different that was inevitable that they'd argue. However, Chloe believed that after everything that happened, she reached a breakthrough with her mother. Things should be a little different now.

"Good," Trixie said.

"Is all your make-up work done for school tomorrow?" Chloe asked her daughter. Lucifer had gone down to the school a few days ago to get the work Trixie had missed, so that it was done when she went back to school.

Trixie's face fell at the reminder that she had to go back to school the next day. "Yes. Do I have to go back tomorrow?"

"Yes, child, you do. You can't stay out of school forever," Lucifer said.

"We talked about it, remember? It's all going to be okay. Lucifer and I will pick you up as soon as school's over," Chloe promised.

"Can't we just wait one more day?" Trixie asked.

"No, sweetie. You have to go back to school, and waiting an extra day isn't going to make it any easier," Chloe said. She hated how scared her child was, but she knew Linda was right. Trixie had to get back to a normal schedule. It was the only way she'd get past this.

Just then, the door opened and Maze stepped inside. "Hey. I take it your mom left, Decker?"

"Yeah, Maze, it's safe to come in," Chloe said with a chuckle.

"I don't do family reunions. Plus, your mom irritates me," Maze said as closed the door and walked further inside. "So, listen, I think I'm gonna be moving out soon."

"What? Why?" Chloe asked caught off guard.

"No, Maze, you can't leave! We're a family!" Trixie said sadly.

"Hey, nothing's gonna change between us. I'll be around. I just think it's time I live on my own. I'm off working half the time anyway," Maze said. Truthfully, she was going because it was getting crowded, and Lucifer needed to be there more than she did. He, Decker, and the kid were as close to a family as it came, and Maze knew he was worried about having to move out soon, even if he didn't say it.

"Maze," Lucifer said while staring at her. He knew what she was doing.

"It's for the best," Maze said, returning his look.

Chloe saw the look between the two and figured out what was going on. Maze was leaving because she wanted to make sure Lucifer didn't feel like he had to, and as much as Chloe didn't want Maze to go, she would rather it be her than Lucifer, and given how small the apartment was, one of them would. "You're sure about this, Maze?"

"Yeah, it's for the best," Maze said.

"But I don't want you to," Trixie said sadly.

"It's okay, Monkey. Like Maze said, we'll still see her," Chloe said.

"Take the penthouse, Maze. At least until you decide anything else you might want to do. I'll get you the keys," Lucifer said before heading towards Chloe's bedroom.

"You've been a great roommate, Maze. I wasn't sure it would work out, but it's been great, and I really appreciate all you did for Trixie and Lucifer while I was gone," Chloe said.

Maze nodded. "Taking care of Lucifer's always been my job, even if I did swear it wasn't anymore. As for the kid, it was a pleasure. I'm glad you're back, Decker."

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it," Trixie said before running to the door. She opened it to see a man in a suit that looked a lot like Lucifer.

"Hello. You must be Trixie."

Recognizing the voice, Chloe looked up to see God at her front door.

"Hello again, Detective Decker. Mazikeen," God greeted.

"Lucifer, get out here. It's for you!" Maze yelled.

Chloe walked to the door. "Hi. I'm surprised you'd knock. Come in."

"Well, I certainly wouldn't dream of entering your home without permission," he said before stepping inside.

"Mommy, who's this?" Trixie asked.

Lucifer came back out at that moment. "Father?"

"Hello, Samael," God said.

"You're Lucifer's dad? You're God?" Trixie asked surprised.

"Indeed I am, child," God said with an inviting smile.

"Why are you mean to Lucifer?" she asked in the firmest voice a child her age could use.

"Trixie!" Chloe admonished.

Lucifer and Maze looked amused by the little girl's brazen question.

God chuckled. "You are very much like your mother, child. I promise you; I have no intention of being mean to him."

"You better not. Lucifer's my dad now. I won't let you be mean to him," Trixie said with her arms folded across her chest.

"I would expect nothing less of you. I swear, I have no intention of hurting him, but I do need to borrow both your parents for a short time," God said.

Trixie's face turned from stern to worried. God was talking about taking her mommy and Lucifer away. She didn't want that. "Why?"

"There are a few things I need them for. I give you my word that they will return before you wake up in the morning," God promised.

Trixie turned to Lucifer. "Does your dad keep his word too, Lucifer?"

Lucifer looked at his father. No matter what his problems were with his father, he'd never known the being to lie or break a vow. "As far as I'm aware, yes, Spawn."

Trixie looked back at God. "You swear they'll both come back and won't be hurt?"

"Yes."

"You saved my mommy, right?" she asked.

"I did. I have done my best to make sure nothing happened to her," God said.

"Thank you. Okay, they can go with you," Trixie said before running over to Lucifer. "You promise too, Lucifer. Promise you'll protect Mommy and you'll both come back."

"Yes, of course, Spawn. You have my word that everything will be fine. Your mother and I will return before morning," Lucifer swore. He had a feeling this trip was for Uriel's sentencing. It wouldn't take very long.

Trixie hugged Lucifer and then went back to hug her mother.

"Come on, kid. Let's go get you ready for bed," Maze said before leading the child out of the room.

"Uriel's sentencing, I take it," Lucifer asked as he walked over to Chloe.

God nodded.

"Very well. Let's go," Lucifer said before putting his arm around Chloe.

God touched them both and they all disappeared.
