MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER, SORRY I HAVE NOT BEEN ANYWHERE NEAR A COMPUTER OF PHONE THIS PAST MONTH.
ON WITH THE CHAPTER.
Chloe gaped from Lucifer to Mariel. These two we just puzzle after puzzle. "What do you mean he didn't betray me? I saw him with that bimbo!"
Marcel turned towards Lucifer with an expected look. "you want to take over this or should continue?"
Lucifer was debating with himself, he could say Marcel was lying or he could come clean. Chloe would probably still be mad with him. He wanted to keep the lie going, at least until this was all sorted out. Yet he also wanted things to go back the way they were. He wanted to feel loved again.
"It's true." Waiting for her response he took a step back.
Chloe was confused beyond confusion. This was all too much. "What? Lucifer I saw you with her!"
"I had Amenadiel mess with your head while you slept. He placed those images into your mind erasing all other memories from before." Of course when he let his guard down she would slap him. He had forgotten how deliciously painful they were.
"You had your angelic brother mess around in my head!? How could you! You have any idea how stupid that was!" Chloe yelled. She wasn't going to admit it, but her hand was killing her. Damn devil!
Lucifer had the disgrace to smirk. "You are more mad at what my brother did, than what I did."
"no, I'm mad at your brother." She pointed a finger at him. "With you I am livid! Outraged! Pissed off!"
Lucifer knew his jaw had dropped. "What? Why?"
"For starters you had me believe you were the scum on earth and beyond. Then your words and finally you lied to me." The last words were spoken with hurt.
Lucifer did something he dreamed of doing once more. Grabbing her by the waist he pulled her into a hug. "I am truly sorry detective, but you have to believe me. I did I all to keep you three safe."
"Safe from what?" Her question came out muffled by his chest.
Glancing up at his sister, she have him a small nod. "From everything. Father, siblings, mother, hell-"
"Hell?" She pulled back just enough to see his face.
Sighing he gently pushed her towards the house. "Let's go inside. I need a drink and you need to sit down. Mariel you coming?"
Said angel shook her head. "No it is best if you two talk alone. Besides I need to help Amenadiel with mother." Giving Chloe a small smile she spread her dark yellow wings and flew off.
"Why the different colors?"
"What?"
"You have pure white wings. Amenadiel From what you told me has black wings and Mariel has yellow ones. Why?" Chloe opened the door for them.
Lucifer stood quiet for a moment. "Well I never asked father. I was the 'favorite' and the brightest off all. Which mother said was the reason for my wings. Amenadiel was younger than me, but as you can see I do believe they are based on ourselves. They are black and well he's black. Mariel has blond hair just like Gabriel there for they have yellow wings. Only Gabriel has them golden. Uriel has gray wings."
Chloe laughed. "So there is no religious or meaning behind them, they are just part of the look?"
The devil simply nodded. "Yes pretty much." Walking towards the kitchen he pulled out a bottle of whiskey. Rummaging thru the fridge he began pulling out food and vegetables. "You hungry?"
"Starving." With a groan, she took a seat on one of the stools. "So are you going to tell me what this whole 'hell' situation is all about?"
Stirring the food he glanced up at her. "Remember that day at the beach. You asked what did a human have to do, to appear in hell." Chloe nodded. "Every mortal is born with a light. Pure white bright light. As they grow older that light is kept pure until that mortal knows what is right from wrong. Every bad thing he does on purpose and feels no…"
"Remorse?" Chloe giggled.
"That. His or her light darkens. If he dies and no longer has that pureness he is sent to hell." Lucifer turned off the stove and stared at her. "Chloe your light was pure until I had you."
"Had me?"
"The moment we had sex and you began carrying Satan's child it began to darken. I was warned by my siblings that if I did not remove myself from your life, you would go to hell on your death. Not only you, but Beatrice as well."
Chloe took in a shaky breath. "So you are saying that because of our love and attraction me and my family are doomed to hell?" Lucifer nodded. "Wow. Umm okay. I-I need to lay down." Pushing past him she dropped onto the couch. She was thrilled in the fact that he had not cheated on her and his love for her, but hell? How can she put her and her kids life in danger like that. Tricia and the baby had done nothing wrong to be sent to hell. Her…I mean yeah it looks bad falling in love with the devil himself.
"Is there any way around this?" Chloe asked.
Lucifer walked up to the couch, leaning on it. "I know there is, I just need to find it. Chloe the last thing I want is for you to go there. I can not protect you from the demons." Pushing her hair off her face, he smiled. "I'm sorry."
"So am I. Everything I said, was a lie. I was just angry and hurt." Grabbing His hand, she pulled him down over her. "We will find a way around this."
Lucifer jumped up, staring down at her with blazing eyes. "I am not going to let you get in the middle of this. I will handle this on my own."
Chloe laughed sarcastally. "Alone? Not get in the middle of it? News flash handsome I am. I happen to be carrying your child. I slept with the devil and I am the one going to hell! I think I am way past stuck in the middle. Besides you have done a real bang up job so far."
"Chloe this is not like one of your cases. You have no idea what You are dealing with." Lucifer was not one to beg. And no matter how much he loved her he was not about to start now. "You are staying out of it and that is that."
Chloe stood up and walked up to his face. "Listen here bud. I am and I will be apart of this. I don't care what we are up against I am not going to sit here and do nothing." Poking his chest She glared up at him. "And never ever dare and order me again. Understood?" Giving her a nod, she grinned. "So where do we begin?"
Lucifer laughed. "First we need to make sure everything is going right with the child. The rest can wait." Chloe nodded. Looking at everything, but him she chewed on her lower lip. Lucifer sighed. "What's the matter?"
Chloe shrugged. "Nothing. I'm just. I can't help but feel stupid for everything I said to you. I was mad and felt like you had used me. Why didn't you just tell me what was going on? Why go thru all of this?"
Lucifer took a seat beside her, not touching her but close enough. "I told you once I have never been in a…single person relationship. I had my fill and moved onto the next mused. With you I was trapped the moment I saw you. You were challenging and somewhat of a threat to me. You didn't fall for my charm, nor my attempts to get you into my bed. Now I am not going to get all emotional like a pathetic human, but I will say that if to keep you safe and well. I have to leave I will. I thought leaving you and making you hate me, would save you. Problem is the child."
Chloe automatically wrapped her arms around her full belly. "What about my child?"
Lucifer placed a hand on her arm. "No problem detective, but come to think of it. It really has no difference if you and I continue this. Not with the fact that you are carrying the devils spawn."
"So what now?" Chloe asked. "Lucifer I want to know everything that had been happening. All of it."
"Detective." He told her about hell, because of the fact that Mariel had practically forced him to. He wasn't sure the rest of his problems were good for her to know.
"If you want this to work, then I need to know everything that is happening in your life."
"Alright. I had made a deal with father to hands over mother. The deal stated that you will never be harmed, nor the offspring's. Of course when I was about to complete the deal, Uriel spilled out that I hadn't been specific on who you were protected from. So I said the deal was off. We fought and beat the heavens out of each other. I wasn't until Amenadiel and Mariel showed up along with Maze. He threaten to kill you and so I killed him." Seeing the look on her face, he raised a hand. "Relax Maze got rid of the body. No one will ever find it."
Chloe scoffed. "I was going more towards the lines of 'I am a cop! You can't confess these things to me!'."
Lucifer gave her a serious kinda look. "What are you going to do? Arrest me? Detective you can search the entire world, you would never find him."
"Lucifer, but your brother." She was somewhat surprised his love for her was that important. But it was still his brother.
"I don't really remember how it happened. I was beside Amenadiel one moment and the next I was with Uriel. I don't recall grabbing the sword or even moving." Lucifer whispered. Getting all touchy emotional with Chloe was not one of his favorite things. He would perfect to waste their time on something a little more…devilish.
Chloe decided to put a pause on the subject. "Now what about your mother?"
"Well she escaped from hell and is now at my loft. She needs to go back to hell or hell it's self will be on earth. Mother can cause a lot of damage. Unlike me, she has a way of getting into people's mind and making them do things." Lucifer explained. "I want you to stay away from her. Under no circumstances are you to go near her. I don't know how she will react with the news of her being a grandmother. And I don't want her swimming in that head of yours."
Chloe knew this was a lost argument, so she simply nodded. "I promise." They sat in silence for about a minute. Before someone knocked at the door.
Glancing at Chloe, Lucifer stopped her from Getting up. "I'll get it." Of course he wasn't expecting him as a visitor. "Hello douche."
Dan stood before Lucifer Morningstar. He had gotten off work, in hopes of taking Chloe out for lunch. He had been getting closer to her, after her breakup with Lucifer. Of course for some odd reason every time he would touch her, he'd somehow end up burned. Some from her own skin. Others with fire objects around the house. Last time the stove turned on, while he was leaning against it. He had asked Chloe, but she always waved him off. Returning back from his mind traveling, he glared up at the man.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Dan pushed his way pass Lucifer and into the living room. "What is he doing here?"
Chloe groaned inwardly. She has told him thousands of times not to show up unannounced. "He came to see me. What are you doing here?"
Dan handed her the roses and a box of chocolate. "I was hoping you and Trixie would like to join me for lunch."
Lucifer jumped in quickly. "She can't she's having lunch with me." Chloe tossed him a look. "I would like for you to meet my siblings."
Dan scoffed. "I don't believe this! Your taking him back? After what he did and said?"
Chloe wasn't sure how she was going to explain all of this. She couldn't tell him the truth. At least not all of it. "We are going to talk out some things and see where it goes from there."
"Chloe you can not be thinking in taking him back! He cheated on you!" Dan was trying desperately to push her away from him.
Lucifer groaned out loud. "No one cares what you think. Now you can stay or leave I don't care, but we are going out." Walking to the bottom of the steps, he called for Trixie.
Trixie bounced down the steps, beaming at the man. "Yes?"
"Go get your coat monkey. We are heading out." Chloe explained. Not even bothered to question where, she ran up to do as told.
Dan huffed. "At least let me take Trixie. You go and ruin your life, but tonight I am taking Trixie." Chloe didn't want to, but it was his night tonight. Giving him a nod, she left to inform Trixie.
Lucifer did his best to ignore the man before him, but the temptation was too much. "So I understand you were trying to weasel your way into her life." Dan glared at him. "I have to admit, it was worth a try."
"Quiet." Dan growled.
Lucifer raised his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright. Just trying to strike up a conversation." Hearing the girls footsteps, he backed away for Dan. He knows what he had done to Chloe, but he wanted to see how far he can push the mortal, before he snapped. Lucifer had seen his light, it was a dark gray if only he could darken it a little more.
"You be good for your dad okay?" Chloe tighten her jacket.
"Yes mommy." Beatrice mumbled.
Dan held his hand out for her. "Lets go monkey."
"Bye mommy. Bye Lucifer." Trixie yelled.
Lucifer simply waved at her. "Now should we get going?" Chloe nodded. She still wasn't so sure about all of this. "I think We already established which one of us bites detective." Giving him a light push, she grabbed her jacket and walked out. Lucifer stood out for a moment, watching her. "I can get used to that view."
Chloe turned around catching his eyes. "Stop staring at my ass Lucifer!"
"Can't blame a man to state detective. Its quite a view." Lucifer teased.
Chloe glared at him. "Knock it off and get in the car!"
"Uhh, someone's grumpy." Helping her into his car, he leaned forward kissing her on the cheek. "Me like it very much."
"Shut up."
They were half-way to the restaurant, when Lucifer slammed on his brakes. Making sure Chloe was alright, he turned to the figure standing before his car. Shutting the head lights off he groaned.
"Mother."
