Good-Bye, my sweet little Urchin
A/N: I haven't watched season 6 yet, because my is one of the two countries where Amazon prime holds the rights to the show and the start will be end of October. But I read enough summaries and watched enough youtube scenes, to get the picture and it broke my heart that Trixie goes a second time without a good-bye from her Devil. I hope my impression so far is wrong and Trixie isn't suddenly the fifth wheel in the relationship between Lucifer, Chloe and Rory.
I don't own the characters, otherwise Trixie would have a proper good-bye.

"Trixie."
The little brunette turned startled around looking for the source of the familiar voice. Her eyes scanned the huts of the summer camp and the driveway to her left, but when she looked to her right towards the tree line, she saw the tall frame of her friend. With large strides she approached her second guest in just one day. "What are you doing here, Lucifer?"
He closed the distance, unsure of how to begin. On the short flight here, he had contemplated what to say and how to begin, but every witty remark he had come up with to make this easier, was lost to him now that she stood only an arm's length away from him. "I'm here to say good-bye, Urchin."
"What? Why?" Confusion was plain on her features. Why did he come all this way to the summer camp? This was not good. Not good at all. And his next words confirmed the sickening feeling in her stomach.
He crouched down in front of the still small girl, although she had grown so much in the past five years. How much would she grow in the next five years, he wondered secretly. "I need to go for good."
Angry tears sprung to her eyes as she screamed at him, not caring if anyone would hear them. "I just lost Dad, I can't lose you, too!" She remembered the secret tears her mother cried the month before her father had died. Tears because of her relationship with Lucifer and the permanent up and downs. Now she was finally happy. This would break her mother's heart. "Mommy can't lose you!"
A firm hand grasped her small shoulder gently. "Trixie."
Despair set in and with a blink of her eyes, the first big tears rolled freely in thick rivers down her cheeks. "Please don't go, Lucifer."
"You have to be strong now. For your Mum and … for your little sister." His voice cracked as he desperately tried to hold himself together, but he had always been a sucker when it came to the Decker women's tears.
"Sister?" Her eyes widened as realization sunk in. The sadness in her large eyes was expelled by anger. "Are you running because of the baby?"
It tore at his heart, that she would think that. That Rory might think that. "Never think that. And never let your sister think that." Tears welled up in his impressive dark eyes. "You taught me, that not all small humans are sticky little tax burdens." He blinked and thick tears rolled down his cheeks, mirroring Trixie's tear streamed face. "I would love to see your sister grow up. To hold her after her birth." He tugged a lose strain behind her ear. "I would love to see the wonderful, strong woman I know you'll grow into." A sob escaped his lips. "I would love to spend my Friday nights playing monopoly or watch ridicules Disney movies with the three of you."
Trixie gasped for air between her own sobs. "Then s- stay. P- please stay."
"I can't and one day, I hope in a very far future, you'll find out why." For the first time in her life, he pulled her into an embrace as her small body shook with tears. "Our family is special." Her breathing hitched at the word family. She had thought for as long as she knew Lucifer of him as family and finally so did he. "You'll have special privileges."
She buried her reddened face into his shoulder "I love you, Lucifer." Her small arms squeezed his neck.
"I love you, too, my sweet little Urchin." His words were only whispers, but she sucked up every single one of them. Eventually he broke the embrace and wiped gently new tears from her puffy and red eyes with his blue pocket-square. He held her gaze. "Please take care of your Mum and your sister for me." He pressed the silky fabric into her trembling hands. "But never tell anyone and especially not your sister, what I've told you today. It is paramount that this Good-bye stays our secret."
Another tear rolled down her flustered cheeks. "Why?"
"Always so inquisitive like your mother." His smile was wistful. "One day in the future you'll know." With that, he stood up and turned, leaving towards the tree line from which he had come from.
