I KNOW, I KNOW. BUT LIFE HAS BEEN CRAZY LATELY.
ANYWAYS HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER.
Turning to Trixie he jerked his head to the car. "Get in the car." She didn't have to be told twice as she jumped into the sleek black car.
"What the hell are you doing with my daughter?" Dan growled.
Lucifer gave him a smug look. "Well seeing as though you were busy with work, I decided to take Beatrice for a night out."
"She is my daughter!" Dan yelled.
Chloe had walked out, having heard the yelling. "Dan enough!" Both men turned towards her. "Lucifer you're going to miss your dinner reservation."
"Right, wouldn't want that." Giving her a smile, he glanced towards Dan. "Stay away from Chloe." As he drove off, Dan walked over towards Chloe.
But she was quick in getting back in and closing the door. "Go away."
Dan groaned, kicking the door he ran off. He was going to be back.
Lucifer watched as the child beside him, happily swung her feet back and forth, glancing out the window. He never really took the time to study her, she was different than the others. the small humans he met were sloppy, sticky and clingy. Yet Beatrice was the opposite. She as smart, knew how to work others and rather charming. She reminded him of himself as a child. Maybe that was what he liked about her. Turning his attention back to the road, Lucifer pulled up into a small restaurant. Opening the door for her, he led her into the elegant place.
"I like it." Trixie grinned.
Lucifer scoffed. "Of course you do. What's not to like?"
They were seated and Lucifer helped her order. He had a glass of champagne and Trixie had a glass of soda.
"Are you going to marry my mom?" Trixie asked, laughing at how quickly Lucifer paled.
Wiping his mouth with his napkin, Lucifer sighed. "I don't do marriage child."
"Oh."
"But that doesn't mean I will abandon you or your mother." Lucifer reassured. "I will be around for as long as your mother will have me."
The rest of the night went good; he took her to the movies. He wasn't really paying attention, since the movie didn't catch his attention, but Beatrice seemed to enjoy it. Later he took her to a toy store, letting her pick anything she wanted. Not that was the scariest part of his day, having random kids run past him, mothers hitting on him and not to mention his once clean perfectly pressed suit, now had what he hoped to be chocolate on it. Trying to hold back his snide remarks, Lucifer placed all her toys in the backseat and helped her in.
"Was daddy mad?" Trixie suddenly asked.
Lucifer glanced at her for a moment. "Yes." Now he never lied to her mother, so she wasn't going to receive any different treatment.
"Do you think he will hurt mom?" She jumped at the sudden growl. "Lucifer?"
"No." His voice was more demonic, than human. "He will not lay a hand on her. That I promise." For some reason, he pressed down harder on the pedal. He wasn't so comfortable in leaving Chloe alone anymore. Douche was agitated when he left. "So did you have…"
"Fun?" Lucifer nodded. "Yes! This was the best day ever!"
"Good." By the time they arrived Lucifer was tense. He senses something wasn't right, the moment he pulled up the drive way he nearly jumped out of the car. Cops were scattered around the place, an ambulance drove past them, sirens going off. "Stay here." He ordered.
"Where's mommy?" Trixie whispered.
"Just stay in the car." Lucifer growled, he knew he had scared her, but he didn't want her to see anything. Jogging closer to the house, he was intercepted by an officer.
"Whoa! Whoa! You can't go in there." He ordered.
Lucifer glared at him. "If you want to keep that limb, I suggest you remove it."
"Look pal I d-" The officer was toss aside, hitting the cruiser.
Lucifer continued his mission, the officer wasn't hurt so he didn't care for him. "Detective!" Running into the house, he froze at the sight of blood on the rug. Things were trashed, pictures were on the ground, plates and cups were on the floor. "Chloe!" Running up the stairs he growled in frustration as not finding her. "Chloe!"
"Hey!" Another officer stopped him. "Who let you in here?"
"I let myself in. Where is Chloe Decker?" Lucifer stared into his eyes, forcing him to tell him the truth.
"Mercy hospital." He responded.
"What happened?"
The man shook his head. "Not sure, we got a call saying an LAPD detective was attacked in a home invasion. When we arrived, she was uncaution on the ground and the perp was gone."
Pushing him aside, Lucifer ran towards his car. Mentally wincing for forgetting Beatrice was with her. "You are going to spend some time with maze. Alright?"
"and my mom?"
Lucifer felt an annoying prick in his chest. "she's alright, I'm going to see her in a bit. But I need you to stay with maze for the moment." Trixie was scared, she didn't know what was happening or where her mother was. Pulling up at LUX, Lucifer walked rapidly into the club. Ignoring the woman calling his name in the line. "maze! Maze!" Lucifer yelled even before climbing out of the elevator.
"what!?" maze answered from the bar. "what is Trixie doing here? and with you?"
"I need you to watch her." Lucifer ran into his bedroom, pulling out anything he might need.
"Wh-what?" Giving Trixie a small smile, she ran after her boss. "Watch her? why? Where is the detective?" Her voice was a hissed whisper.
Lucifer growled, staring her in the eyes. "She is the hospital. I just found out."
"What about the hound?" Maze was rather surprised the animal didn't attack.
Lucifer shrugged. "I don't know! Just watch the girl and I'll be back. Don't let her out of your sight, and watch out for my siblings."
Maze followed him towards the elevator. "You think they did this?"
"I don't know, but they best pray to father if they did." Lucifer snarled as he left.
Maze smirked as his eyes flashed. That was the devil he knew.
"So what are we doing?" Trixie asked, she was sitting on the couch.
Maze turned to her with a grin. "Movie?"
"Yeah!"
"Alright here." She tossed her the control. "Pick one out, why I order a pizza."
Lucifer ran into the hospital and straight towards the desk.
"How can I help you?" A young woman asked.
"Chloe Decker." Lucifer grunted.
A few seconds later she shook her head. "Sorry there is no one with that name here."
"I was just told she was brought in! Look again!"
"Sir, I am telling you no one with that name is on here."
"Bloody hell! How many Chloe's do you have!?" Lucifer yelled.
A few seconds she glared up at him. "Two. One Chloe Henderson and Chloe Morningstar."
"Morningstar! What room is she in?!"
"210…but sir I need-"
Lucifer was already halfway there, rushing into the room he froze. Chloe was asleep, but her face was bruise. Walking closer he noticed her black eye, bruised jaw and cut lip and a bandage wrapped around her abdomen. Grabbing her hand, he took a seat next to her. "Chloe?"
She stirred a bit, her eyes slowly opening. "Lucifer?"
"Hello love." Giving her a small kiss. He sat back. "What happened?"
"I don't know. One moment I was making a snack and the next I was on the ground."
"Douche?" Chloe shook her head.
Lucifer growled, the anger within him boiling to the point of explosion. Who would dare touch what belonged to him. "What happened after that?"
"I felt hands on my sto-oh! Lucifer is my baby okay?!." Her fear evident in her voice. It made Lucifer's burning inside twist.
"He's fine Chloe." He reassured, completely ignoring his mouth filter. He knew it was a boy from the moment Chloe told him she was pregnant; it was sort of a deal breaker their father put on them. If they were to have children, it would only be males.
"He?" Her gasp was one of surprise. "A boy?"
Shifting in his chair, Lucifer smiled. "Yes, a male."
With a happy smile, she stared up at the ceiling. Her mind trying to put a face on the child. Her eyes, Lucifer's hair and nose. She suddenly hoped the day of his arrival were here. Chloe knew many problems were just around the corner and most were coming from Lucifer, but there was no way in hell or heaven she was going to give him up.
"Why Morningstar? Lucifer asked.
Chloe hummed softly. "Make it hard to find me." Closing her eyes, she slowly drifted off to sleep. Not once letting go of his hand.
Lucifer was seething inside. Seeing her like this and not being able to punish who did it was hell for him. He was going to need help in finding who was responsible. He had a few suspects. Dan. Gabriel. His mother. And any others that may come.
Of course, the answer came in response from one of the detective's running the case. They handed him a sage blade the only thing to able to kill him or an angel. Glancing at Chloe, he paled. They must have tried to kill his child, not caring in killing Chloe in the process. Telling the detective's, he has never seen it, they asked a few more questions and left. He knew who it was or at least what category they were in. Although it was a little disappointing in discarding douche from the list. Lucifer was going to have to team up with the others to find the attacker and when he does, they will know what it means living in hell.
But in the meantime, Lucifer spend the entire week with Chloe, while she was in the hospital. The un-born child was safe, he was completely unharmed. Doctors had told her she was at least four months pregnant, Trixie would visit, but maze watched over her. Turns out Chloe had placed the hound in the backyard, keeping it away when the attacked happened. Dan had come back drunk and forced his way in, but was knocked out by the attacker. After being released, he took her to his loft. He was not going to let her out of his sight for the moment.
It was late at night and Chloe was in bed with Trixie. Lucifer was down in the club playing his piano, the club was closed for the night and will be until Chloe was better. He paused at the sound of footsteps nearing him.
"Mariel, Amenadiel what a pleasant surprise." His tone held nothing, but sarcasm.
"We need to talk Lucifer." Amenadiel ordered. Lucifer simply began playing once more, he was emotionally tired and wanting nothing but peace. He simply wanted to grab Chloe and fly far away. Mariel rolled her eyes and made her way towards him, but her brother grabbed ahold of his arm and held her back. Amenadiel although dislike his brother, knew him well. Lucifer was at his wits end, push him too far and he will snap like any other man. Only difference with him, was that it would lead to a massacre. They sat at the bar with maze and waited for him to finish the song. Mariel frowned at the tune, it wasn't his classical or smooth jazz. No, it was a lullaby, the same one a mother sings to her child.
"What's with the tune?" Mariel asked Maze.
Maze jerked her head up to the roof. "Detective and her offspring have been having trouble getting some shut eye. Lucifer has been playing that same song for the past three days they have been here." Giving them each a drink, she leaned forward. "If you two value your life's, don't interrupt."
Everything became quiet minutes later, grabbing his drink he listened for any sign of Chloe awake. Once he was sure she had fallen asleep, Lucifer turned his attention to the angels. "What do I owe this pleasant visit?"
"Uriel." Mariel spoke.
Lucifer frowned. "What about him?"
"He's here on earth." Amenadiel braced himself for Lucifer's reaction.
Lucifer on the other hand was frozen in his seat. Gabriel, he could handle, Dan, Amenadiel, Mariel, his mother, and any other bloody demon. But Uriel was different. When he went after something, he always gets it. "Chloe?" Then it clicked, baster was the one to hurt her.
Amenadiel nodded. "We believe so. It's the only explanation there is."
"Why not come after me directly!? Why go after her?" Lucifer growled, tossing his drink back and pacing the room.
"Lucifer you need to do what you should have done a long time ago." Mariel hinted.
Lucifer stopped glaring down at her. "And what is that?"
"Leave her."
"Excuse me?!"
Amenadiel jumped to his feet, blocking his brother from getting to close. "She's right Luci."
Lucifer looked up at him, for once letting all his emotions show. "I can't Amenadiel."
"You have too! You keep this up and all of you are damned. She and Beatrice go to hell or Uriel kill's them. You will never have peace, with the constant attacks and your child will never be born." Amenadiel continued, he himself knew what prohibited love was.
"My peace, my life, my world is her! She has become my heaven Amenadiel! Why can't you all just see that!? We are doing nothing wrong, I have done nothing wrong! So, I fell in love, is that so bad! Is that a sin for us that we should be punished for it! He is condemning three innocent souls for his sadistic pleasure!" Lucifer yelled. "Amenadiel what have I done to deserve any of this? Father casted me out, mother turned her back on, my siblings have tried to kill me one way or another! I suddenly find the one thing I never knew I could, love. That love has given me everything I have not lived; it gave me back all those decades I lost in hell."
Mariel was taken back by the emotions her devil brother was showing. She had never witness him like this. Lucifer was the evil one, the monster, the one to trick, lie, steal, and kill, but never the one to show love, compassion, understanding. Yet this woman had made him, she made him fall in love. Something they had been sure he could never do. The question was, why did it bother her brothers and father so much?
Amenadiel simply stared at his brother, he couldn't help him. He didn't have the answers to his questions. He just knew what needed to be done and even though it was sure to break Lucifer, it needed to be done. Everything will go back to normal as if none of this has happened. "It needs to be done Lucifer. It is the only way to save yours and their life."
Lucifer turned away, looking into the fire as it burned the wood. "I need to think about it. leave."
"luc-"
"You heard him leave!" Maze snapped. She had heard and seen the whole conversation. She may not like Chloe, but she has seen how 'happy' Lucifer was. After there last argument she had looked back to their time in hell. The same happy go lucky devil that was lost had come back and although she would never admit it, it was because of Chloe. But right now, her master was in agony and she needed to help him. That meant kicking the angels out. "Now!" Within seconds they were gone. Maze watched Lucifer get lost in the dancing flames, mesmerizing him. "Lucifer?"
"I can't do it maze. I can't leave her, I know it's the right thing to do, but I can't." Lucifer repeated.
Maze sighed. "Then don't. Fight for what you want, be the devil you once were!"
Lucifer dropped his head down. "What good would that do?" He turned to face her. "No matter what I do he disapproves! I ruled hell for decades and it wasn't enough! I left hell and he was disappointed! I stayed on earth and he became angry! Now I have found my home, With the only other person that sees me for who I am and he wants to take it away!"
"Lucifer?" Both turned to see Trixie on the stairs. "Your brother is looking for you."
Lucifer jumped into action, rushing up the stairs and into his bedroom. He froze at the sight of his brother Uriel crouched on the headboard, looking at Chloe sound asleep. "Hello brother, long time no see." He tried to keep his breathing under control.
"Yes a very long time." Uriel smiled. "Quiet the queen you have here." Uriel admired, running his finger over her cheek. "such beauty…for a human."
Lucifer's eyes darken, as he touched her. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be babysitting Gabriel?"
Uriel laughed. "Gabriel had his own errands to run. So, I have taken his place for the moment."
"Place? What are you talking about?" Lucifer was sneaking glances towards Chloe, hoping she wouldn't wake up.
"Come on brother!" Uriel chuckled, jumping off the bed. "You know father has agreed to make deal with you."
"I'm listening."
"Find mom and take her back to hell." Uriel began. "And the thing she calls child, gets to live."
Lucifer glanced at Chloe then back to Uriel. "And yet she's going to hell."
"Ahh, but that can be resolved little brother." Uriel had taken a seat by the detective, his hand hovering over her stomach. The creature was creating some sort of protective seal, that kept him from touching her. "You know what the right move is."
"So I catch mum and Chloe is safe?" Uriel nodded. "But not from hell, unless I abandon her."
Uriel laughed. "No one said anything about abandoning brother. No, no, but you must distant yourself from her. Father has special plans for her and you are leading her away."
"What plans!?" Lucifer growled. He knew their kind of plans always led to disgrace for those involved. "I will agree to his deal and return mum back, but you and the others are to never touch her nor her children."
Uriel stepped back towards the window, giving him a grin. "As you say Samuel." Spreading his gray wings, Uriel looked over his shoulder. "A fair warning brother. Don't do the right thing and that child with become and orphan." Uriel disappeared, leaving a confused and frustrated devil alone. He wasn't sure what to do now, his mother would be easy to find. But things were getting out of hand. Uriel like himself was not one to make a threat and not complete it. Placing his hands together, he called for his brother. "Amenadiel."
Amenadiel appeared with a knowing look. "Yes Lucifer?"
"I'll do it." Lucifer swallowed hard.
