Mavis Rose Winchester was born on December 21st, which in fact was the Winter Solstice. Dean was the only one allowed in the delivery room. It was slightly nerve wracking for me and Sam while we waited. I stayed clear of Sam. I was still mad at him for banishing Cas and Luci. I needed Cas right now but he was somewhere in the world that was not here.

I paced the room until they said we could see Lulu. I completely ignored Sam as I smiled at Lulu who was holding her daughter. I noticed she had her deep thinking face on when we walked in and I wondered why.

"Hey you, how you feeling?" I asked.

"A little tired but I'm good. Do you want to hold her?" she asked. I saw Sam shake his head out of the corner of my eyes.

"I will after Emily," he said.

"I would love too," I said. Lulu handed me the little bundle and I smiled. She was just so cute and little. I could see this little bundle having us all wrapped around her little fingers.

"She's adorable," I said with a smile to Lulu. I gave Dean a quick smiling glance. I was still mad at him but this was a special moment.

"Say.. Where's Cas?" Lulu asked and looked at us all in turn. Sam shifted from one foot to the other and I glared at him.

"What happened that you are all not telling me?"

I tried to hand Mavis back to her but she shook her head. I took a step back and glared at Sam and gave Dean a dirty look. I was so not okay with what they did. I did swallowed thickly however when I glanced at Lulu, she was really going to dislike this and she was the closest person to me.

"Seriously? Speak," she demanded. I remembered that tone. I cautiously took a step back and hugged Mavis closer. Things were about to get really ugly so I may as well start it off.

"I'm sorry…" I whispered.

Lulu had been hurt by Lucifer before and when she finds this out, I don't know if she'll be okay with me around anymore. She had never done anything to say she'd kick me out before but now she had a kid and a husband and a real family now.

"Please, just someone answer my question, that's all I ask," Lulu said.

"Cas.. Isn't Cas right now. When we- well, I went down to speak to Lucifer things got more complicated than we let on and he said yes," Sam said.

I looked down at Mavis trying to avoid the soon conflict. Cas was still there and Luci hadn't been bad, he just hadn't felt kindness in a long time. Being alone in the cage all those years didn't help. Lucifer had shown me these last few months that he was still an angel. He did care in his own way. He had been hurt by those he trusted, his family, and he covered his hurt with violence. He was scared of being hurt again if he let anyone in again.

"You judge before you understand," I commented quietly. I didn't look up as I spoke, instead I studied Mavis' face. I had a sinking feeling about this.

"Em, he's the FREAKING DEVIL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Tried to kill us all six years ago. Chased after Sam, not to mention I did almost die from stopping him the first time-," Lulu said. I flinched at her angry tone.

"He did actually.. we brought you back," Dean said interrupting her. I cringed at that. Yep this was going to end very badly.

"He was just hurting," I said curling into myself a bit.

I knew him killing Lulu was so not acceptable but couldn't they see he changed? He lived with us for months and they were all just fine. There would have been so many chances for him to wipe us all out with a snap of his fingers but he didn't.

Dean scoffed, "Sure he was. Making Sam his vessel giving him hell for a year, killing the love of my life. He's got something else under his sleeve."

I finally looked up from Mavis.

"Haven't you made mistakes Dean? Hasn't Sam? What about Lulu? I know I have. Why can't he? Imagine your family threw you into a dark cage by yourself for hundreds of years because you disagreed with something which cause a violent argument? That mistake cost him his family!" I said getting a little heated in the end but when I finished I slumped.

"He acts like that because he was hurt and to prevent being hurt he is cruel so no one gets close," I said looking down at Mavis again.

A nurse walked in then, probably because she heard all the yelling. I kept Mavis close just in case something was up. There was such a little chance that there was it was pointless but it distracted me from our current argument.

"I'm sorry but if you all are just going to argue I'm going to have ask you to leave," the nurse said.

"Sorry," I said handing Mavis over to Lulu. I didn't give her the chance to refuse. Once Mavis was with her mother I left the room. I slipped by everyone on the way out.

We had all come in one car so I just walked. I walked without a purpose other than to stay away from the hospital and from the bunker. I knew not telling them, especially Lulu, that Lucifer was sharing a vessel with Castiel was bad. The thing was, I wanted to give Lucifer a chance and he had been good.

In my wandering, I ended up in front of a bus stop. It was letting on passengers and before I realized what I was doing, I was on the bus. The driver didn't question it and I chose a seat in the middle to blend in. I wasn't going to go far but I needed to go somewhere. The bus rumbled to life and left after letting a few more people on.

I watched the scenery go by for a while before getting off at a random stop. It was in a slightly sketchy area but I didn't really pay attention. I found a slightly decent bar and went in. Ordering a glass of just water, I prayed. I prayed to Cas, to Lucifer, and to God if he was even listening. I prayed that Lulu and her family would be alright, Cas go to find his home safe, and Lucifer found his loving family again.

It was around my third glass of water that my horrible luck caught up to me. A drunk came up and got in my personal space. I could tell he had one too many but he was just tipsy.

"What's a pretty thing like you doing here?" the man asked taking a sling of more beer.

"Apparently leaving," I replied slipping off the stool. The man roughly grabbed my wrist.

"Let me go," I demanded trying to get free. The man just grinned.

"I don't think so. You are going to come with me," he said.

With that he grabbed my other wrist when I went to swing at him and proceeded to drag me from the bar. I kicked and yelled only for the other people in the bar to ignore me. The man just chuckled and tightened his grip on me.

"Don't waste your energy. Every single one of those people in there don't care about what I do and who I take. They get some fun out of it too," the man said in my ear.

"Well then I guess I'm gonna have more fun with more than just you," a smooth voice said from behind us.

I froze as I recognized the voice. The man spun us around. He moved so he had an arm wrapped around my throat. I wrenched my wrists free from the one hand that held them and clawed at the arm that was slightly cutting off my airway.

There was Lucifer, leaning against the wall. He had his stupid smirk on his face as he studied the man holding me. He stood up from the wall and snapped his fingers. While nothing happened here, something did happen. If I had to guess I would say that the bar was now being raided by some demons.

I felt and heard the man holding me laugh at Lucifer. He tightened his arm around my throat.

"What do you think you're going to do? You come anywhere near me and I'll kill her and that wouldn't be very fun now would it," he said. I saw Lucifer continue to grin at the man but he got a glint in his eyes that spelt trouble.

"I am going to show you your insides and feed them to you as you watch," Lucifer said and stepped toward us.

The man jerked me backwards with him as he moved away from Lucifer. That just made Lucifer's eyes harden and his grin widen. In a blink he was right there in front of us and had a hand on the man's head. The man screamed and violently threw me away from him like I burnt him. I fell into Lucifer's chest and closed my eyes at the bright light that started to glow brightly behind me.

"You alright?" Lucifer asked me when the light died down. I shrugged.

"Is it true?" I asked.

"Is what true?"

"Were you just using us? Was everything these past few months just a total act?" I asked into his chest.

Lucifer pulled me away from his chest and I looked away expecting Sam to actually be right. He gently grabbed my chin and made me look up at him.

"When I first got out, yes. Then you walked in to me doing Hell business, realized it was me, and didn't even flinch. You took me by such surprise that I continued with my plan just so I could try and figure you out. In that process you changed my view, not much but you did a bit on humans. Do I still want to exterminate most of them? Yes but you are showing me that there are very few that make me pause. You being the biggest one."

I looked Lucifer in the eyes. He was completely honest and that surprised me.

"I believe you. The others are still really mad. You can't come to the bunker anymore," I said.

"I still want to keep in touch with you," he said.

"That door still work that took me to your throne room?"

"Yes..?"

"Then I can come in there and keep in touch that way. It's not like any of them are going to notice if I leave for a few hours," I said.

"That would be perfect," Lucifer said giving me a hug and speaking softly near my ear.

"Kay. Do you have to go right now or do you want to come with me?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow at me

"Considering how I just found you, I think I'll come with you," he teased. I lightly smacked his arm.

"Well come on then, we're going to Wally-World," I said. I slipped my arm through his and pulled him along.

"Wally-World?"

"Walmart," I said with a smile.

"Ah."

The next moment we were standing in the nearest Walmart parking lot. I smiled and led him inside with me. I made sure to keep a hand on him just in case. There are some really weird people that go to Walmart and I didn't want to have to explain to anyone about burnt out eyeballs or anything.

"Why are we here? I remember you went and got food and such just the other day," he asked.

"We're here to get some baby items. Lulu had Mavis today and she's just adorable but I don't think we honestly have anything for the little one that doesn't have any curse or such on it other than the crib we found," I said.

Lucifer was quiet for a bit as he thought about this. We got to the baby section without fanfare. I made Lucifer grab a carty when we walked in and had him push while I put things inside. I got some outfits, PJs, a couple bottles, formula, baby safe toys, and a couple other baby items. Lucifer helped as I held a few things for him to look at like a few clothes.

His facial expression at the items I got was great when we were checking out. It was total bewilderment. The checker laughed with me when he kept the expression. I payed for my items before he could take offence and smite the girl.

"I didn't realize it took so much to raise a human child," he said as we exited. I chuckled.

"Well it does take a village."

He looked at me with such a confused expression.

"It's just an expression. It means that it does take a lot to raise a child well. Not every child does and there are those that still turn out well, take Dean and Sam for example or me and Lulu. Anyway, this just makes things easier really. I know it looks like a lot but it helps from what I've heard," I said.

"Hmm," he said.

"Can you take me to the bunker garage?" I asked.

I just barely finished when we were in the garage. I smiled and move my items so I could hug him.

"Stay safe and I will come see you tomorrow," I said.

Lucifer nodded and what gone in a flap of wings. I turned and walked into the bunker. Sam was walking to his room I assumed when he saw me heading to the living room after I dropped things off in the kitchen.

"Where have you been?!" he whisper yelled.

"Out. I'm back now so you can chill," I said.

I placed all the times on the table and then brushed past him. I heard him start to say something but I was still upset with him from earlier and ignored him as I went to my room. I closed my door behind me and locked it. If he really wanted I knew Sam could pick it but I trusted him enough not to. I changed and was out when my head hit my pillow.
