What a welcome home this turned out to be

By: CSI-Panther

Summary: Lucifer returns after being gone for about 7 months, however, as he goes to Chloe's home to see her, a loud wail calls out.

A/N: I don't Lucifer or it's characters.

A week ago,

It's been 7 months now since Lucifer went to Hell to reclaim his throne and to keep the demons in check. And during those 7 long months, Chloe had been absolutely miserable, she cried, she cursed Lucifer's Father for 2 of those months, she got shitfaced drunk the next month, And for the last 4 she buried herself in her work.

And the call she got to another murder, was perhaps what she needed to distract herself from thinking about Lucifer and if he was ok or if he had forgotten her and his friends...

" Hey Decker. " Ella greeted as she looked up from the body of a deceased woman, she too was less like herself again. Chloe had told everyone that Lucifer had left because of some family problem and they needed him to handle it and that she didn't know when he would be back as he didn't say when he would be. Not exactly a lie, but it worked.

Ella and Lucifer, she realized were kinda like a brother and sister. And hearing that he had to leave and not know when he was coming back hurt Ella as she didn't get to at least say good-bye to him. She finally stopped asking if Chloe had heard anything from Lucifer and kept getting the same 'No' and 'There's still no cell service where he's at'.

" Hey Ella. What do we got? " she replied looking at the body, seeing that it looked rather mangled and...torn up?

" Other than a butchery? Not much. Meet Mrs. Stroevak. Her husband is M.I.A. Neighbor called it in when Mrs. Stroevak didn't show up for a tea date at their usual time. There's no murder weapon or any of the garden tools covered in blood, so the killer probably took it with them. If he or she did, they would need a truck to haul it all. "

" There's more than one weapon used? " Chloe asked looking at the body again and saw that there several clean cuts added into the deep gauges and the torn out organs of her stomach.

" So we're looking for more than just one weapon, I know a knife and a ax or hatchet is among them. "

" More like a chainsaw, look at the jagged edges where her arms and legs would be. " Ella said pointing to the shoulders and hips, that were void of said limbs.

" And she's naked, it could sexually motivated, but as for the butchery? It's like Jack the Ripper style on his last vic. Who could hate someone that much? And her stomach looks like the killer took hooks and pulled her stomach apart and pulled out her insides, her chest cavity is crushed in like the killer took a sledgehammer to it or a mallet given the large area that's crushed in, her face is sliced up and her throat looks like the killer also ripped it open with their teeth! "

Before Chloe could say anything, a loud wail sounded from one of the back rooms, a man, she assumed was the neighbor, called out,

" Oh God! " Chloe flinched at the name, " Angelski! " the man continued and was about to go to the cry but was stopped by a Uni.

" Whose Angelski? " Chloe asked.

" Vedrina and Silen's son! " the man replied as Chloe went to the screaming child.

She found the baby in his room, safely in his crib, kicking and screaming.

" Shhhshhh! It's okay! " she hushed as she picked him up and held him to her, she rocked him as she soothed him.

" There we go! It's okay Angelski. There's nothing to be worried about. " she continued as she walked back out with him to the others, keeping her hand to the side of his little face away from his mother's body. As Chloe looked from him to his mother, she thought she saw his eyes flash amber before he started screaming his little head off.

" Oh my goodness! What is all the crying about little dude! " Ella cooed as she came over, but that just got the baby screaming louder. Ella was stumped by it, Chloe looked to her hands and said, " Ella, your hands. "

Ella looked to her hands and saw the blood there on the gloves, " Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! " she backed away, not wanting to upset the baby anymore tan he was.

Once she was gone, Angelski calmed down some but not much. " I'll be outside. See if you can get a hold of Child Services. " Chloe said to a Uni as she walked out with the baby, still keeping his face away from the scene and to her car. She leaned up against it as she held Angelski and continued to try and calm him down.

" So, Angelski, huh? " she cooed to him as he finally calmed down and was looking up at her with sadness and pain as though he knew that his mother was gone and confusion of who she was and where his father was.

" Detective? " the Uni that she had talked to on her way came over, she was putting her phone up, " Yes? " Chloe replied, straightening up.

" I'm sorry but Child Services can't make it out. " the Uni finished.

" What? What's the problem? "

" All the receptionist said was that they were tied up with an over load of case work and they couldn't get out here. "

Chloe sighed deeply and made a decision. " I'll take him with me until they can come get him or we find his father..if he isn't a suspect. "

Now

Chloe was about to turn in for the night when she heard a loud swoosh outside her apartment. She brushed it off at first, but then there was a knock at the door. She tensed, not wanting to get her hopes up, she slowly went to the door as another knock came.

She opened the door slowly and then fully opened it as she saw who was there.

" Detective. " he breathed.

" Lucifer! " she exclaimed loudly, then flinched as her cry woke up Angelski.

" What was that? " she heard him ask as she went to go check on Angelski, leaving the door open and leaving him to come in on his own.

He did so, shutting the door behind him, locking it as he did. " Detective? " he called as he followed after her up the stairs and into her bedroom where an old baby crib was set up there with her standing in the middle, holding a baby.

He stood there for a moment unsure of what to make of all this. Chloe looked up and saw his confusion and the hurt in his eyes and realized what this must look like to him and quickly explained,

" It's not what it looks like! I got called out to murder last week. The mother was killed, the husband is still missing, and this little guy was there in his room. Child Services couldn't come out and take him. So I did. At least until they can come get him or his father turns up and isn't a suspect. "

She relaxed when she saw his confusion and hurt disappear, but then laughed as he said, " Well, what a welcome home this turned out to be. "

Here's ch. 1 hope ya'll like it! Sorry is it short, didn't know how it would turn out.
