Just three weeks later, Chloe was holding her son in his new room at the hospital. He'd been deemed recovered enough to leave the NICU, but they still wanted to watch a little longer in the hospital, so he couldn't go home yet. Lucifer had gotten him a private room. That normally wasn't allowed but Lucifer made it happen both with his charms and his checkbook.

Chloe smiled down at her son. She was so happy. Her baby was getting stronger every day. She and Lucifer would be able to take him home soon. "I can't get enough of you, you know? I can't wait to get you home. I know you've been moved a lot, but I promise when we get you home, it'll be the last time. Today though, you get to meet your big sister. I told you about Trixie. She can't wait to meet you. She's been so patient, and she's not usually a patient one. You'll love her."

Just then, Lucifer came through the door. He immediately held his arms out as he walked towards them. "My turn."

Chloe laughed and handed their son over to him. Lucifer's apprehension over holding their son had completely evaporated. He held Lucas whenever he could, and only reluctantly ever put him down. It was hard to believe that this was the man who told her he despised children the first day they met. He adored Lucas. Trixie too. It had been clear to Chloe for a while that he loved her daughter as his own. He would do anything she asked of him and kill to protect her. Both Chloe's children were lucky to have him in their lives.

"Hello, Lucas. Daddy's here. Were you good for your mother?"

"He's literally an angel. How did things go at Lux?" Chloe asked. Now that things were calming down a little, Lucifer had to put some time in at the club.

"Well, I would've much rather been here, but it wasn't terrible," Lucifer said.

"Have you heard any more about Kinley?" Chloe asked. She knew about Lucifer's visit to him. He was honest with her about what he'd done. In the past, she would've taken issue with such an act of violence, but Kinley had almost killed their son. Honestly, while she hoped it didn't come to it, she would be okay with Lucifer killing him if he had to.

"No, not since the idiots I had watching him lost him just after he checked out of the hospital," Lucifer said with a scowl. Those men had been fired on the spot when he learned that they'd failed to keep an eye on the bastard.

"You don't think he took your advice and left, do you?" Chloe asked. She found it difficult to believe, but she had a little hope that that was what happened. She just wanted to believe her baby was safe.

"No," Lucifer said.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Dan walked in a second later with Trixie, who was smiling and carrying a stuffed bunny.

"Hey, Monkey. Come on over," Chloe said.

"Remember what we talked about though. Quiet voices," Dan added.

Trixie ran over and looked at her little brother. "Wow. He looks so cute."

"Yes, he does. Lucas, meet your sister, Trixie," Chloe said.

"I brought the bunny I picked out for him," Trixie said.

"That's great. We'll put it next to him when we put him down," Chloe said.

"Can I hold him?" Trixie asked.

Chloe cringed. She didn't want to disappoint her daughter, but she wasn't comfortable with that yet. One look at Lucifer, and she knew he wasn't either. Trixie had held babies before, but none as small as Lucas. "Not today, honey. He's too small right now."

"But I held Charlie," Trixie argued.

"Monkey, Charlie is bigger than your little brother," Dan said. He understood their apprehension. Lucas was quite small for his age still, and Chloe and Lucifer were probably still reeling from the hard start their son had received.

"Just wait a little longer, maybe a week or two. You will get the opportunity to hold him, Spawn, I promise," Lucifer told her.

"Absolutely," Chloe added.

"Okay," Trixie said. She was disappointed, but she knew she'd get to hold her brother soon. Lucifer and her mom wouldn't lie. "Can I touch him?"

"Yes, of course. Come with me," Lucifer said before leading the way over to the rocking chair and sitting down.

Trixie quickly followed him.

"Chloe, I actually have some news about Kinley," Dan said once his daughter was distracted.

"What is it? Did you find something to connect him to the hit and run?" Chloe asked hopefully.

"No, unfortunately, but it is still good news. William Kinley boarded a plan to Italy a few days ago. I guess Lucifer actually beat sense into the SOB, or at least fear," Dan said. No one had actually told him Lucifer beat Kinley up, but he knew what Kinley's condition was when he was admitted to the hospital, and he knew that it was Lucifer. He didn't really care. If it were Trixie, Dan didn't know what he would do. What he did know was that Lucifer could've done much worse.

"He's gone? You're sure?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah. He bought a ticket and left three days ago. I also spoke to his coworkers at the church. They confirmed that he was headed back to Italy." Dan told her.

Chloe was glad to hear it. It was what she was hoping for, but it seemed too good to be true. She felt like the other shoe would drop.

"Chloe, I know you'd rather him be in jail, but he's gone. He isn't a threat to your son anymore," Dan said.

"I…I'm just not sure of that. What if he's trying to trick us or just laying low? He could come back at any moment. We could live in fear for years," Chloe said. She doubted it would take years. Kinley would want to take both Lucas and Lucifer from her much sooner than that. The point was, he could hurt them at any time.

"No. I know some guys with Immigration. They're going to make sure Kinley is not permitted back into the country. It's going to take a few days for it to be official, but he will be banned. He is not going to hurt your or that baby again," Dan promised her.

"Are you serious? My baby's safe?" Chloe asked, close to tears.

Dan nodded. "Yes, he's safe."

Chloe threw her arms around him and cried. "Thank you so much."

"Mommy? Why are you crying?" Trixie asked. She'd heard her mom cry while she was playing with the baby.

"Yes, what is going on? Daniel?" Lucifer asked in a tight voice. He doubted Daniel had done something intentionally, but the woman he loved wasn't crying for no reason.

Chloe pulled away and turned to her boyfriend and daughter. "No, it's okay. I'm crying because I'm happy. Kinley's gone, and Dan's making sure he doesn't come back."

"Is that the man that hurt you and Lucas?" Trixie asked.

"Yeah, Monkey, but he's gone. We're all safe now," Chloe promised.

Lucifer looked between Chloe and Daniel before settling on Daniel. "How sure are you of this?"

"Very. I can call in favors too," Dan said with a smile.

"I'll want to know the particulars, but I thank you for whatever you did," Lucifer said. He was skeptical, but even if the problem wasn't actually handled, he appreciated whatever Daniel did.

"It was the least I could do after what I put you through," Dan said.

Chloe went over and took her son from Lucifer. "Hi, sweetheart. Everything's okay now. No one's going to hurt you anymore."

"I'm going to get some coffee and leave you guys alone for a little while," Dan said.

"Thank you," Chloe said again.

Dan nodded and headed out of the room.

Kinley had known he wouldn't be able to take care of the Antichrist while everyone was waiting for him to act. The security the Devil and his followers took was too much for him to get past. He'd needed to get them to feel safe. So, he'd everyone believe he'd taken the Devil's advice and returned to Italy. He'd gotten on the plane and everything, but he got off during a layover and doubled back before the plane even left the country. He'd also had a friend in the Vatican lie for him if anyone asked if he'd returned to the church in Italy. It had worked perfectly. He'd had to go to a lot of trouble, but it was worth it to rid the world of such an evil.

Kinley had to bide his time. He had to wait until the guard appointed to the child's bedside was taken away and as it's parents finally felt safe enough to leave his side for more than a few minutes. It took about a week after the guard was taken away, but he finally had his chance when he got word from one of his followers watching the boy that Chloe and the Devil had gone out for a bit.

Kinley arrived soon after and straight for the Antichrist's room. He knew he had to act quickly or it could be a while before he had another chance, and by that time, who knew how much stronger the little beast would be.

Kinley started inside with a knife in his hand. He held it in defensive position just in case he needed protection. That thing might look like an infant, but there was no telling what it could do. It was the Devil's spawn. Evil was all that was in it.

Kinley wasn't prepared for what he saw when he walked inside. The child wasn't alone. There was a man with black hair with a few grey streaks sitting in a rocking chair holding the child.

The man looked up at Kinley and smirked. "William Kinley. I believe a meeting between the two of us is long overdue."
