DADDY

lucifer set charlotte down on her play blanket and gave her the package so she could tear apart the paper toddlers liked doing that anyway.

"lilith its alright don't stress yourself out okay i need you and so does our daughter. were going to have a quiet little party for her. and just be together as a family."

charlotte was happily tearing the paper away finding a beautiful little dress. "d..addy"

lucifer almost snapped his neck. did he just hear her say daddy.

lilith was almost in tears. "oh my luci she said her first word."

charlotte clapped her hands. and lucifer went over to pick her up and hug her. almost having tears in his eyes as well. "yes my dear daughter daddy is here."

charlotte rubbed her head against her father.

lilith picked up the new dress. "look what daddy got for you your first dress lets put that on you shall we."

first of many lucifer thought. "alright apple pie let mommy dress you up eh. can you say mommy dear. go on mommy." charlotte looked at her mother. "nam ..yy…momm..mommy"

lucifer and lilith were both melting at their daughter. "how is she sooooo cute." lucifer almost squealed.

after awhile they were sitting in their private little living room with charlotte at the head of the table with a birthday cake in front of her. she didn't waste time with it and grabbed a handfull of it to stuff in her mouth. her parents laughed with that.

"not really princess like eh." lucifer said."

"oh well she is only one year old luci. let her enjoy it while she can."

for the rest of the evening they played with her. until she fell asleep. and ofcourse in lucifers arms. lilith had dozed off as well on the couch. he should have told her to go to bed and now he didn't want to wake her up. his wife was so tired.

the fire in the fire place cracked. for a moment he saw something blue.

"no" he said firmly. "your not welcome here." lucifer looked stern at the fire and heard a whisper so quietly but he still heard it

"Samael."

lucifer waved with his cane and let the fire go out. he looked awhile longer into the fire place.

"leave me be. i don't want any of you interfering in my home or with my family.

"we are family samael."

lucifer grew angry and turned around. "where are you ? show yourself." the room went quiet lucifer still tried to figure out who was there and where.

yet he didn't feel any present. was he going mad now. charlotte moved a bit in his arm.turning his attention back to his daughter. making sure she was safe. he went to the door and asked one of his hell hounds to bring charlotte's crib to be put into their bedroom. the hellhounds went to do what they were tasked. lucifer didn't want to take any chances and keep his daughter near him. safe to say he didn't sleep that night and whenever his daughter cried he got up. and let his wife sleep peacefully.
