Chapter 8

(Author's note - Thank you for all the nice suggestions. I put them all in a hat and picked one - Our new angel has a name!).

Harry had just finished helping move Uncle Dan into an apartment in the Lux, yes with magic. Uncle Dan had cried when he hugged him and Trixie had clapped happily. Dad had given Uncle Dan a gift basket including Japanese and Armenian beer, fresh mochi from Little Tokyo, and home-made puddings, each one labeled Uncle Dan . Harry showed him the appliances, the set of movies that Dad had sent over to make sure he had mind numbing entertainment, and the full refrigerator.

"I can t believe you are all doing this for me", muttered the Detective.

"Dad figures you are safer here and Uncle Amenadiel left you this", said Trixie.

She gave him an ornate antique box with two feathers in it. "Don't touch them unless you need them", she said, "Daddy Lucifer said they are great for healing wounds."

Dan sat down on the new very comfy bed and then smiled. "I can t believe I m accepted by angels", he said. Harry grinned because he'd used a plural. He was accepting that Dad might be the Devil but was also an angel.

"Mom says we have to let you get some rest because you are probably still tired". Trixie kissed her Dad soundly. Then Harry and Trixie went back to the elevator. ""I think your Dad likes Dad now."

"Yup!" said Trixie. "I think my Dad likes our Dad too."

"Yeah", said Harry.

Kynerath had been very carefully slipping between wards and watching her big brother. She also wanted to make sure the Daniel Espinoza was better. She felt really bad she had screwed up as a guardian for him. Or rather, that she had saved Dan but that a man still died, albeit a very bad man. Kyn didn't like him at all but she was still sorry he died. Well, maybe not sorry. It was confusing.

Then she accidently touched a ward, and bang, the Devil appeared. And not as Lucifer Morningstar, handsome Dad and Husband. Oh No. he was in full devil ensemble.

Lucifer felt the wards ping and he popped immediately in full Devil form to protect his family. Too many attempted murders and too many sleepless nights for his son and daughter. Unfortunately, it appeared the person snooping around was the little angel sister he d never met. Well at least he wouldn't drive her mad. He hoped she didn't attack him or shriek and run away.

Instead she looked up at him and burst into tears. "Oh no, that s what being kicked out of the house did." she cried and began to sob. "My poor big brother, I m so sorry."

Lucifer quickly changed back. He never thought he d be having this conversation with any of his family. Not ever.

She sat on the floor, still crying and he hesitantly reached out and touched her head. |It's all right," he said gently, (and he NEVER thought he would say that either), "It doesn't hurt anymore."

She looked up at him and said, "I'm Kynerath. I'm in charge of burbling noises and the sound of ocean waves on the beach and birds singing in the morning. Everyone said you were mean and bad and, and, and," She stood up and her wings shot out of her back. "And they lied. They re a bunch of big bullies. I m going to go back and kick Michael right in the balls."

"Whoa, whoa!" Lucifer held out his arms, "Don't attempt to mess with Michael. He'll hurt you, little sister." She suddenly looked like Chloe when she was going to shoot some one, "It will be worth it." she ground out, looking a lot like an adorable enraged puppy instead of an angel.

"No!" he shouted, "I just met you; please don't get in trouble on my account."

Suddenly Maze and Amenadiel were there, followed by Chloe with a gun, and Harry with his hands ready to do magic.

She turned and saw all the humans. "Eeek!" she cried, and moved to disappear but Lucifer took her hand and begged her with his eyes, while thinking 'Now she shrieks'.

"OK", Chloe put down her service piece, "You're Lucifer's sister. You helped guard Dan."

Amenadiel crossed his arms and said, "KynKyn what are you doing here?"

Maze looked at her with interest, but didn't put down her knives. "Why are you here, angel? Trying to hurt Lucifer?"

KynKyn shook her head. "I heard all sorts of things but decided to make my own opinion. I m not a very important angel, but I can think for myself." If anyone wanted to get Lucifer's attention, it was someone proposing any form of free will. He smiled at her. "How charming, little sister. Rather a rebel, aren't we?" He tilted his head to the side, calmer now that he knew she wasn't ready to fight or hurt his family.

She looked thoughtful, "I don t know. I just know that you are my brother, and I want to get to know you."

"Wanna get to know a demon?" asked Maze, fingering her knife. She sounded belligerent but Lucifer knew what hid under that stance. He d worn the same mask to prevent revealing a supposedly non-existent heart. His sister looked at Maze and said, "You like my big brother," a statement of fact.

"I've bled to protect him," said Maze, no longer joking.

"Then you're pretty cool," said the little Angel. "I wish I had been brave enough to bleed for him." One last tear tracked down her cheek, and Chloe walked over to her and gave her a mom s hug. "Little angel we all want to save him from suffering. We can't unmake time, but we can be a family now and try to heal those wounds. That's what family is supposed to be. Lucifer smiled at his dearest love. Yes, he knew he had a heart because it was tied up in Chloe, Trixie and Harry.
