Chloe woke up the next morning in an unfamiliar room. She wasn't sure where she was until she thought back and remembered being at the penthouse with Lucifer. She must have fallen asleep to Lucifer comforting her because the last thing she remembered was crying in his arms. It actually felt good to lose herself and let someone else comfort her. She hadn't really had that before. She'd refused to let Dan comfort her. He was the reason she lost Trixie. Her mother had tried, but she had never been good at that. Plus, they had never been that close. Chloe had always felt that she was dealing with Trixie's loss by herself.

Chloe soon heard the bedroom door open. She expected Lucifer, but it was Beatrice there instead. Chloe immediately sat up a little and smiled at the little girl. "Hey."

"Hi, Chloe. Daddy said you slept over," Beatrice said as she made her way over.

"Yeah, I guess so," Chloe said.

"That's really cool. Daddy never has sleep overs," she said.

That didn't surprise Chloe as much as it probably should've. Lucifer was a big flirt. She was pretty sure he slept with anyone that was up for it, but he wouldn't bring that home to his daughter. He obviously took all his dates elsewhere. "Yeah, well, I was kind of sad, and your dad was helping me with that."

"Were you sad because of that man yesterday?" Beatrice asked.

"Yeah. I don't really like him. Are you okay? I know he really scared you," Chloe said.

Beatrice nodded. "He was mean, like my old dad was. He called me mean names and yelled the way that man did."

"That man will never hurt you. No one will hurt you again. Your daddy wouldn't let anyone and neither will I," Chloe said. She cared about this child very much. It wasn't how Dan tried to make it out to be though. Yes, she saw Trixie in Beatrice sometimes, but that wasn't why she cared about her. She cared about her because she was a wonderful little girl. She cared about this child as her own person.

"I know. Sometimes I get scared anyway though. That man said you had a little girl. Do you?" Beatrice asked.

Chloe smiled sadly. "Yeah, I do. She's lost though. I want you to know that what he said isn't true. I miss my baby, but I don't like you because of her. I like you for you."

Beatrice smiled and hugged Chloe. "I like you too, Chloe. I wish you were my mommy."

Chloe's heart melted at those words. They were so heart wrenching, in more ways than one. "Well, your daddy and I are really good friends, so I'll always be here if you need something."

"Cool," Beatrice said before pulling away.

Soon, they both heard voices from the other room.

"Someone's here. Maybe it's Maze," Beatrice said before running from the room to hopefully greet the demon.

Chloe got up and followed her out. They both stopped in the kitchen doorway when they saw who was with Lucifer. Chloe recognized the man as Lucifer's brother. She met him once when she and Lucifer were trying to retrieve Lucifer's missing property.

"That's Amenadiel." Beatrice whispered in an unimpressed tone. She'd met her father's brother many times. She didn't like him at all. "He's mean. He calls Daddy bad names and tries to make him leave me. He got this lady to come visit once to try to take me away."

Chloe vaguely remembered from Lucifer's file that he'd received a visit from Social Services that didn't amount to anything. Amenadiel must have been the one to make that happen. She could hardly believe that Lucifer's own brother had tried to have his child taken away. She knew they weren't very close, but that was still reprehensible. Anyone who saw Lucifer and Beatrice had to know he'd never do anything that would harm that little girl.

"Aren't you tired of this tedious game, brother," Lucifer asked in a bored tone.

"Infinitely, and this is not a game," Amenadiel said irritably.

"And yet, you insist on persisting. You come down here and insist I leave. I say no, and you leave in a huff. Why not save us both the hassle and give up," Lucifer said.

"Never. I will not stop until you are back where you belong. It's you who needs to give up. You don't belong here. You have a responsibility to carry out Father's task for you," Amenadiel said.

Lucifer laughed at his brother. "I stopped having any responsibilities towards that old man when he tossed me out. He can go screw himself. You can feel free to do the same."

Amenadiel began to get angry. "You deserved to be tossed out! You've turned into a…"

"Stop being mean to my daddy!" Beatrice suddenly yelled, cutting Amenadiel off mid-sentence.

Both men turned to her and Chloe. "Beatrice, go to your bedroom for a bit please. I will call for you soon," Lucifer said.

"But…"

"It's okay, sweetheart. Everything's going to be okay. You should do what your daddy says," Chloe added.

Beatrice glared at Amenadiel for a minute before walking back towards her bedroom.

Amenadiel turned back to his brother annoyed. "When are you going to stop hiding behind that kid?"

"Get out, brother. As my daughter just pointed out, you're not welcome here," Lucifer said.

"She's not your daughter. Thankfully, you can't reproduce," Amenadiel sneered.

"What is wrong with you?" Chloe asked Amenadiel in disgust.

"Oh, Detective, there aren't even enough days in a century to adequately answer that one," Lucifer retorted.

Chloe walked over and got into Amenadiel's face. "Lucifer is a wonderful father. You don't have to bring a child into the world to be a parent. How dare you disrespect not only what Lucifer has done for Beatrice, but what every other adoptive parent does for their children!"

Amenadiel scoffed in response. "You don't know what you're talking about. He doesn't give a damn about that kid or anyone else. He's only using her to avoid what he knows he needs to do."

"And why would I need to do that? I started avoiding it, as you say, long before Beatrice came into my life. I don't need anyone to help me tell you where to go. I refuse to do what you want because I don't want to. It's that simple. Now, these visits of yours are getting tedious. You've attempted multiple times to get me to do what you want. You even tried to have Beatrice taken from me. You failed every time. What will it take for you to learn that nothing will get you what you want," Lucifer said with a satisfied smirk. He honestly didn't care what Amenadiel did as long as Beatrice wasn't hurt, which Amenadiel wouldn't dare to do. Not only was it against his father's rules, but Amenadiel knew Lucifer would kill him. He couldn't take Beatrice from him because Lucifer wouldn't let it happen. He didn't care what it took. No one was taking his child from him.

"You're arrogant, brother. If you don't do what you're told, Father will force you," Amenadiel warned.

"Yet, he hasn't. It makes me wonder if he even cares. Now, as I said, get out!" Lucifer said sharply.

"This is not over," Amenadiel said before heading out of the room.

"Wow. Now I see why you and your brother don't get along. He's a real dick," Chloe said.

"Indeed. Let's not waste any more time on him. I hope you slept well," Lucifer said.

"Yeah. Thanks for letting me stay here, and for listening to me last night," Chloe said.

"Of course. Now, how about I make all of us breakfast?" Lucifer asked.

"That sounds great. I'll go let Beatrice know she can come back now," Chloe said.

Lucifer nodded and headed for the refrigerator to get what he needed to start cooking
