"Your wife…?" Chloe's disbelief gets swallowed by the puff an annoyance coming from Lucifer's wife.
Lucifer watched them all as they observed his friend. Ella looked intrigued, already getting her confused puppy eyes out, Dan smiled, being friendly, and Chloe looked slightly miffed. No one could believe that this man was married and with such a beautiful woman.
Ella smiled and shook it. "I'm Ella."
Dan stood, as did Chloe, and held out his hand. "Hi, Kali. I'm Dan."
Chloe held her hand out too after Kali shook Dan's. "I'm Chloe."
Kali did not like the way the blonde woman was staring at her husband but she could not do anything because there are many the other way ,Chloe tried to bring Lucifer's attention back to her, but Luicfer eyes were stuck at his wife There is something in the eyes of the man when he looks at the woman with the result fury burned within Chloe because Lucifer has never looked at her admiration, respect and dare to say love.
''And this is my kids''said Lucifer with a voice full of pride. ''Hector and Aria Morningstar''
''You told me you hated children."
"I do." Lucifer said to her. He fussed with his jacket. Straightening it out and buttoning the top button. "But Hector and Aria is different. they're mine. Something I created." A smirk crossed his face.
Ella smiled. "That's adorable." She remarked.
''And you are beautiful''said Hector without taking his eyes off the girl. Ella blushed when she heard these words come out of Lucifer's wife mouth and when the boy said. 'Now I can understand why my favorite aroma was the strawberry and the lavender''
His mother hit him along the head.
"How come we've never heard of her?" snarked Chloe.
Deciding to change the subject, Kali spoke. "What time do you get off work?"
Lucifer looked at his watch. It was nine at morning. "Now," he answered.
"We're on a case, Lucifer."groused Chloe.
"I just found my wife after centuries of being alone! Forgive me that I don't care about an already dead human."
"I'm with Lucifer on this one," Dan pipes in and Chloe glared at her ex-husband.
After a moment of silence, Pierce stepped out of his office to see what this bang was all about and he couldn't believe his eyes. There she stood,in Lucifer's armn as though she had never left. His eyes shone slightly in the starlight and a smile showed up over his face.
"Cain, either take a picture to masturbate over or get on with whatever you are doing over here. I have to admit I like being admired, but if we aren't getting it on anymore the teasing is just going to drive me insane." said Kali before the man laugh and embrace the woman.
''Miss me?" the woman teased.
"No," Pierce said blushing.
"Your face says otherwise," Kali smirked.
"Don't look at me," Pierce said trying to cover his face that was now beet red.
"That's impossible, you're too beautiful to not look at," Kali smiled.
''Shut up ,Kali''
"I think that's enough" Lucifer said roughly, gently pulling Kali back over to him.
Pierce is the first to speak. "Luicfer, if you screw up this wedding thing I will kill you. Hell, I'm not even completely sure if I won't try and Kali away from you''
And hearing those words, a green eyed monster had possessed Chloe.
Luckily, it wasn't a demon nor spirit, it was a feeling. A feeling that ate her with skin and hair.
Jealousy.
Chloe been trying to ignore it. She tries every day to ignore it, the way that her body reacts and where her thoughts go and how she just can't seem to shake the overwhelming feelings. The cold sweat at the back of her neck and how nothing quite seems right even when it's been a long time since the last time she felt the real urge to scream.
''Not that you have not tried to steal her away from me' 'mocked Lucifer with a smile. Pierce grinned and nodden.
''Excuse us''Dan said interrupting them he could see the jealousy in Chloe and snickered.''How do you know each other?''
It was silent for a moment then they grenned at each other.
''From hell''They both stated in unison theb tehy busted out laughing.
Ella knew about Lucifer, him being the Devil and all that, but she was almost completely sure she couldn't stand seeing any more supernatural and/or biblical beings. This was too much for her. Nevertheless, she remained still, probably even frozen in shock. Trying to pinch herself to see if she's dreaming didn't work.
''You will excuse but I want to go home with my family''said Lucifer.
The sun has already begun to rise by the time Lucifer opens his eyes.
Cuddled against his chest, Kali doesn't seem to have woken yet, which is frankly just as well. The woman could use some rest after all she's been through.
He felt her snuggle closer and smile to himself. It was days like this that he enjoyed himself the most. Or maybe it was simply the fact that he knew she loved him just as much as he loved her. That she even showed it in her sleep as she cuddled closer to him. Was it more the fact that she had overlooked over his flaws and minor fears. All of his fears of weakness?
He bent his head slowly, making sure not to disturb the sleeping form that was laying against him, and kissed her forehead softly as he stroked her hair gently, hearing her murmur unintelligible words softly against his chest, he couldn't help but chuckle, earning himself a sleep composed whack on the chest. He simply loved her so much that it hurt.
The small little habits that she had that could sometimes just manage to catch his breath every single time that she did something like that. He noticed it every single time, and she blushed every single time that he pointed them out. He loved her blushes too.
No, though all of those thoughts may have required serious consideration on his part one day they didn't anymore. He loved her for the simpler things, then all of those bigger things. Lucifer loved the way her wild brack curls felt when he ran his hands through them, like his own bit of wilderness. The way she could make him smile by doing the goofiest things sometimes. The way she felt when he cradled her in his arms as he was doing now.
There was a simple rightness to holding her in his arms, and the feeling that he could never just let her go.
He loved that feeling more than anything else.
''The Volturi?''
Lucifer heard his daughter asked when he walked into the living room and saw Aria sitting in an armchair with a list in her hand.
''Yes. Mother and Caius Volturi have a past but I do not think that the father would want a man who was lust after his wife in the same room with him''said Hector and Lucifer had to agree with his son. Caius Volturi is one of the three ancient leaders of the Volturi, who are based in Volterra, Italy, and he was lust after Kali for years. That fucking vampire or that sparky disco ball was trying to take the woman as his mate but Isabella Swan walked into the castle and Caius had eyes only for her now. Those two love to fuck with Caius and they have formed a strong sisterly bond over that mans misery.
''The Mikaelson-Salvatore?''asked Hector. He was sitting behind a desk smoking a cigar with his feet kicked up on the desk ,head titled back eyes closed. he fucking looks pleased with himself.''You do not have to answer. Father was the best man of Elijah at his wedding with Damon Salvatore and mother with Bonnie and Rebekah are besties. Do not forget that mother was the best woman of Kol at his wedding with Bonnie Bennett and Klaus and she find it difficult to reconcile their different styles. Klaus will always be brute force. Mother will always be tactics and finesse. But where they differ, the complement and perhaps is that where friendship was born.''
When it come to Kali Pendragon, Lucifer finally given up all pretense that he don't do jealousy and then, when he'd finally seen a picture of the gorgerous man who looked at his wife with a lot more friendship in his eyes, it had been a wake-up call for the devil. Everyone said that Klaus was a manipulator of psychotic proportions, clearly the love child of Hannibal Lecter and a praying mantis. Kali is strategic, always weighs the pros and cons of any and all things, a General in her own right.
''Castiel ,Dean ,Sam and Gabriel Winchester?''
''The three Halliwell sisters — Prue, Piper and Phoebe''
''Stiles and Peter Hale?''
'' John Constantine''
''Regina Mills and Emma Swan?''
''Alec Lightwood and Magnus Bane''
''Draco and Hermione Malfoy with Harry and Daphne Potter?''
''Percy Jackson?''
''Should we invite the gods? "stated Hector.
Lucifer should not need this much reassurance ,but something about being in Zeus the King of god's presence was always unsettled Lucifer in a deeply buried portion of himself. He would never admit so loud, but he abhors the long-eg connection between Zeus and Kali. He despises the fact that Kali's greatest enemy used to be closest friend. Lucifer loathes that there is connection ,that who Kali is now has been shaped by that past friendship.
Kali has risen above her friendship with Zeus, and they wil never be so close again. That trust had been irrevocably shattered and Lucifer doesn't doubt Kali's affections for himself ,nor does he distrust his wife. But in this ,Lucifer is regnettably like Zeus. He is possessive, and he doesn't like any part of Kali over once belonging to Zeus.
He longs to replace all of that past with a different future ,by erasing Zeus' existence from Kali's life. But the god continues to linger, like a pest infestation whice refuses to be exterminated. A god who rises again and again, weaseling his way from the true juctice, and being a constant thorn in Lucifer's side.
The man walked into theliving room. Luicfer looks up, his eyebrows rising in surprise. "Aria, what are you doing here?"
"What do you think?" Aria gives back, closing the door behind her. There's a crease on her forehead, but her voice is light when she says, '' "You think I'm not going to help with my mother's birthday party?''
Aria Morningstar gasped dramatically. The sound almost made the father, cackle. Aria most spoiled child out the whole litter, especially by her father. If it wasn't her father, it was her Aunt Maze. She was Auntie Maze's shopping partner by day and daddy's little informer by night, both she does very well. She was a chill little fellow, always inside of her own head. All of his children were bright, but Aria was the know-it-all. She always was quick to correct someone and prove that she was right. It vexed everyone especially the Gof, but the parents loved it... at least until Kali proved them wrong on something, then it was annoying. The child loved to read but not children books. Kali knew she was reading book a bit above her age level but she didn't know how serious it was. Seeing her reading the Count of Monte Cristo one day set the mother off her rocker.
She was a fine mixture between Kali and Lucifer. The girl was a hair darker than Lucifer. She had Kali's mouth and nose and eyes while he had Lucifer's chin and head shape. Her hair was a brownish blonde color but became a bit lighter in the summer and darker in the winter.
"You were going to be here on Friday anyway," Luicfer points out. Aria comes home every weekend, only staying at her dorm during the week. "Don't you have classes?"
"Just one on Shakespeare this afternoon. You know I can't stand that professor anyway."
''You've slept with him''said Hector. ''We could say that he wrote Romeo and Ioiletta for you''
''You're a dick''yelled Aria pointing at her brother.
"That's enough out of both you." The devil said and the two of them stopped talking but their mother is Kali Pendragon and this woman did not get orders from anybody
"It's not my fault she's weird."
"I'm not weird! I'm just different."
"It's different!"
Lucifer sighed lifting his head from his comfy place. "Was I not clear the first time?" Argument between brother and sistes disbursed at once hearing their father use the 'voice'. "Hector, I believe told you time and time again not to call your sister names." Hector nodded his head meekly. "Stop it."
"Yes, father."
"And you little girl." Kali directed his attention to his daughter who was seconds away from bursting into tears.
The sight felt like a stab in the heart. He found it always hard to discipline Aria. She was his only girl, his little princess. He hated making her cry. It was shameful how a small person could have the big bad evil, Luicfer Morningstar, wrapped around her tiny finger.
"Winn see went, its is diene Schulz. «Said a voice and the two Morningstar men' turned to see his mother and wife.
("If she cries, it's your fault.")
Kali gaped at her husband's audacity. Lucifer was a major pushover when it came to his daughter. When disciplining the boy, it was fine. It teaches him responsibility. When it comes to correct Aria, it was whole 'mother story and Kali's fault. Many occasion, Kali had to call him out on his double standards.
She loved all her children but she treats them all the same. There was no, "no" to one child and "yes" to other. No was no and yes was yes and that was the many reason why her daughter's machination would never work on Kali.
Aria might be girly and sweet, but the little girl was a mastermind. She knew how to get what she wanted and when she wanted and it was all Lucifer's fault. Aria knew exactly what buttons to push on her father. All she had to do was pout those little lips, bat those long eyelashes, smolder those big blue eyes and she got him. It never worked on Kali. The female Morningstar knew her daughter's game and she wasn't playing it. So, what does the little sneak do? She moves on to Lucifer because she knew her daddy would give her anything. And if daddy won't give it to her, her demons would.
''Hector''said Lucifer looked at his son. Hector was a mini Lucifer. If Kali didn't believed she birthed him, she would have thought her husband spit him out. Same head shape, same eyes, same nose, same ears, same birthmark, everything was Lucifer's on that boy. It was uncanny. Even his personality and interests was like his father.
He was very smart. He wasn't a know-it-all like Kali, but strategic. It was utterly fascinating watching both Amanadiel's sitting down playing a game of chess. The game, what it seems, would take forever. They both enjoyed figuring ways to outmaneuver one another, coming up with different tactics to take each other out. Some ways would be quick and to the point. While others were a subtle approach, predicting each other steps. The game majority of the time would last a whole day. Either someone won or there weren't any pieces to move on both sides of the board.
Hector loved to draw and paint as well. He and his father shared a studio in their Tudors home. His paintings were at both their homes almost in every room. Hector's favorite was in his father's office in the compound above the fireplace. It was a close profile of his mother. She wasn't doing anything of importance.
Hector loved his mother. He thought the world of her. Though he was exactly like Kali, he had a stronger connection to his mother. The mother and the first-born had a bond that no one could understand. When Kali was sad, Hector would be the first one to know it. It was as if he could feel everything his mother felt. His mother's joy gave him joy. His mother's sadness gave him sadness. His mother's tears gave him an uncontrollable amount of rage.
He could be calm and collected like his father but he also had Kali's nasty temper and distinct taste to be vengeful. If someone hurt his mother and sibling, he made sure the antagonist feel a hundred times worse. However, through his tough exterior, Hector was a very loving boy and very sensitive, another trait he gets from his father. Lucifer however, disagrees. He thinks his son's loving heart comes from his mother. All his children had his wife's gentle heart.
''Take you sister with you. Your mother and I have to talk seriously''said Lucifer as Hector pulled hi sister out of sofa and pushed her into the elevator.
''Do not break the bed'' Hector laughed.
Kali had to stop herself from rolling her eyes. She dearly loved her son, but sometimes... She sighed.''Where is Maze?.I missed her dirty jokes."
''What about mine?" Lucifer's smile was wide.
''You know I can't resist your cheeky remarks and questionable humour.", she laughed again, putting her hands around his neck and through his dark hair.
''She is. Listen...", his face was serious now.''Something's been bothering me lately and..."
''What is it?" Kali was worried already, urging him to explain.
''I... I haven't really told how my life has been different since you've been gone."
''Do we have to go down that road? I mean, I don't want to cry again and-"
''We have to. We really do.", he whispered.
She wasn't exactly sure if he was reassuring her or himself.
''What is it you want to talk about then?"
He took her to the living room, motioning for her to sit down. She felt even more anxious at that point, because she could see by his face this was something big. This wasn't just some 'I missed you dearly' kind of stuff.
It took him awhile, but he told her everything. About his drunken nights with ladies, sometimes several of them at once, about his rather promiscuous behaviour, his transient relationships... Everything. He couldn't stand to look at her face, which was a mixture of absolute rage, misery and terror all at once. She couldn't help but feel betrayed.
When he finished, he remained in one place, waiting for her response.
''Say something.", he was almost pleading, which was unlike him.
''What do you want me to say?" her jaw was clenched after she spoke and her eyes looked tired.
''I expected you to kick me, honestly. At the very least."
''No, it's quite alright. I'm not mad.", she said in an even tone. „At least that explains the dresses in the wardrobe. I had my suspicions as to why they're there."
Lucifer was absolutely baffled.''„Really? You're not pissed at me?"
''I have no right to be mad.", she stood up, going to the elevator.''You thought I was dead."
Lucifer flinched at what she said, but followed her nevertheless as she continued talking.''Why wouldn't you be allowed to sleep with whoever you wanted?"
She merely shrugged at her own words and turned to him.
He didn't know what to say. But, after a few seconds he composed himself.''Why do I get a feeling I'm not off the hook yet?"
Kali didn't say anything. He knew very well that she was hurt. Only, she was being stubborn about it and not expressing it. Of course she would be mad, he would be too.
''You're not telling me something. I know it. I can feel it.", Lucifer stepped towards her.
Kali sighed in annoyance.''You're right."
''.Don't try to hide it, I know-", he stopped himself.''Wait. ... What? Did you just say that I'm right?"
She nodded. ''Yes."
''What is it then?" he took her hand in his, but she pulled it away.
Lucifer sobbed for a while before Kali asked.''Do you still love me?''
Lucifer sniffled and sat up straight. He took Kali's face in his hands but Kali wouldn't look at him.''How dare you?''
Kali let out a faint whimper and tears olled down her cheeks. She pulled her shaking hands away from Lucifer.
''How dare you think that I could ever stop loving you?''Lucifer said which make Kali's shaking subside. He took Kali's face and kissed her.''I know you love me. And I know you do everything for the greatest good and that's not always what you want to do.''He took one of Kali's hands and kissed it.''I love you OK?Nothing will everchange that. Even when you do things like this to preally piss me off. OK?''
Kali nodded and sniffled''Yeah''she said breathily and sniffled again.
Now they were both sniffling and sobbing. But it wans't horrible and uncomfortable like before. Now they knew they could cry on each other's shoulders and be Ok.
