Author's Notes: That finale though! OMG best birthday ever! I don't know what I'm going to do until May, probably finish this one and start another one. I think I'm liking the Breathe Universe and let this story and every new story after this take place in the Breathe Universe. The only thing that irked me about the episode tonight is that I was planning on using a part of what happened tonight in this story, and now it's going to look like I totally copied it. Although there will be some differences in it, but damn man my body is still humming from the episode. Okay here's the chapter, finally lets try and get some humor in this one. I guess in the end notes I'll see if that got to happen or not. Quick question. Do you guys like that I do my notes at the beginning and end of the chapters without editing them? I like you to know where my head was when I started a chapter and where it ended up at the end. I like for you to see my writing process. That way you can see if I went through with what I planned or if I went a totally different way. Anyhow, let's get this started.

Chapter 5

Chloe could feel herself getting tired, and what she really wanted to do was go home and maybe read the latest chapter on her new book and soak in the tub. Yet she knew that was not about to happen since she had volunteered to take Lucifer home with her. She couldn't now though, he was her Lucifer after all. So to the nurse's station to get a chair, and off to her house for a sleepover. This was going to be fun.

He could feel the panic rising in his chest. Was this a heart attack? This had to be a heart attack right, he couldn't turn it off. It had even spread to his hands now, the redness, his true form, why was this happening, the detective would back any moment now, and he would be the things of nightmares.

"Lucifer!" he heard a startled voice call from the door.

This was it, this was the moment of glory. He couldn't turn it off, and he had no idea why. He slowly turned towards the door, and had never been more relieved in his life.

"Mum." He called.

"Lucifer, what is the meaning of this? Are you alright, Chloe will be back any minute you need to pull yourself together."

She had been away for him for far too long. These emotions were new in this form, but he was her son and he'd been hurt. Before she knew it, she had run up to him and threw her hands around his neck. She inhaled deeply and sighed at the smell that was so full of Luciferness. She was pulled from her thoughts when she went to run her hair threw his hair only to feel the baldness of his scalp.

"Jesus, you have to control yourself. Turn back." She told him.

"I can't. The doctors gave me something to calm me, and I can't control it." He panicked.

Charlotte begin to look around his room for his belongings, and she quickly found the reason for the problem.

"Here. They removed your ring. Remember, without it you only can keep this form for a certain amount of time. I wonder what made them remove it."

"Probably the same idiotic reason that made them think cutting an Armani suit from my body would save my life somehow he seethed.

"Yes, about that, what do you think caused this? You and I need to have a talk about this Chloe woman!"

"You will not speak ill of the detective mother, you have been warned. I assure you that although I'm a bit rocky now nothing can stop me from showing you who is still in charge here." He growled.

She had been currently helping him get dressed as he slowly returned to his earth form, but when he spoke to her, she could see all the power of hell dance behind his once again black eyes. She pulled away from him.

"This would never have happened to you if you weren't with her, there's so much that you don't know Lucifer."

"Oh really, why don't you enlighten me mother."

So much was on her tongue. There were things that he needed to know and without Maze and of course Amendiel, but she looked at him and she could tell he was hiding something. There was something still a bit off about him.

"Lucifer?" she questioned.

"Don't just don't okay, now if you'd like to help I could use a little assistance putting on my slippers." He told her as he took a seat back on the bed.

She saw drops of sweat appearing on his forehead, and his hair now that it was back where it should be had taken on a lot of curl. He was beautiful, he was her beautiful boy. She would take care of him right now, and worry about the bigger picture later.

Dan couldn't believe what he was seeing. He had let Charlotte slip inside of Lucifer's room, and he was to stand outside. If anyone tried to get in, he would use his badge to keep them away while they had there moment. The thing was he was quite interested in what she had said. Could she really be his mother? He had taken a moment and looked through the window, to see if he could get a glimpse of the two of them together, and he didn't expect to see what he did.

They were just talking, but that wasn't what stuck out to him. It was how he looked at her, all the love he could see on his face. The thing was it wasn't like I want to do you love, or he couldn't believe he was about to even think him it wasn't like how he had noticed him looking at Chloe. It was how he had seen Trixie looking at him. He loved her, she really was his mother, and when he sat down on the bed and she bent down and helped him slide on his slippers, and a quick kiss to the forehead, well that sealed the deal. He had a mother, and she'd been there the whole time. He had slept with Lucifer's mother.

"Oh shit." He spoke out loud for two reasons.

"What are you doing here?" Chloe asked as she approached with the wheelchair.

"I know that you may not believe me, but I don't want anything to bad to be wrong with the guy. I came to make sure he was okay, so is he?" he asked.

"They never really could find anything wrong with him. He was unconscious, and he had a fever, they finally got the fever to come down, and now it seems to be just flulike symptoms. So, I'm going to take him home, get him comfortable, and watch him for a while."

"Wait, are you telling me that you are going to take him back to your place? Where our daughter is? The two of you have been working on a case about weird cases of poison and you want to take him back to your place? What if he's infected with something?" Dan challenged.

"We both know that if he is infected with anything, it will affect him and him alone. So, I think that Trixie and I are safe from that right now."

"I suppose, although he appears that he might be more of a baby than Trixie when she's ill so if you want I could take her for the night." He offered as he looked in on the two occupants of the room.

Chloe took that moment to stare in the room to see what could possibly have him so amused. When she looked inside she was shocked at what she saw. Lucifer was sitting on the edge of his bed, but Charlotte Richards was there. She was holding a cup of juice out to him as he drank from it. She kept messing with a curl that kept falling in his face, and then he swatted her hand away but he smiled at her why was he smiling at her.

"What the hell?" she barged in the room. Dan was close behind so things didn't get out of hand.

"Could you just please let me do it myself." Chloe heard him stating when he came into view.

"I have come to take you home, I think we have had a long day. Charlotte what a surprise." She smiled.

Dan recognized that smile. That was the smile before the Chloe Monster came out to play. A part of him wanted to nip this in the bud, but then he had to see her face when she made a fool of herself for thinking, well the obvious but being way off base.

"I wanted to make sure that Lucifer was okay. You're taking him home, back to the penthouse? That sounds like a plan. I will go home to the husband, and I will meet you there." She explained.

"Excuse me. Lucifer has been released in my care, and he'll be joining me tonight. I don't know what he fixation that you have on him but if you don't-"

"Ladies please you're giving me a splitting headache." He groaned rubbing the sides of his head.

Dan tried but failed at compressing the laughter, as both ladies stopped and crouched down on either side of the man who had managed to get himself into the wheelchair as the women discussed him as if he was not there.

"Lucifer, are you okay? Maybe we shouldn't get you discharged so soon." Chloe spoke softly.
"Sweetheart, I think it's time that I get you home. Luci, you know that I'm right about this." Charlotte spoke softer as she glared at Chloe.

"The two of you fawning over me is making the headache come back full force. Detect-Chloe there's nothing to worry about I will be coming home with you, and that's final." He spoke speaking volumes to Charlotte. "I'm guessing you're finding this funny, and because I know her so well I'm guessing you told you our little secret?" he asked Dan.

"I didn't believe it, but now oh yea it's all there."

"Then you know now after your little confession I wanted to tear you limb from limb?"

"Totally get it."

"As for you mother I'm sitting here wearing something made from a cotton blend and I can feel the hives forming, something that I didn't want to experience I assure you. The detective and I have plans and I will be going home with her. I'm a big boy, I don't need mummy's attention now.

"Lucifer, wait did you just say that she's your mother?" Chloe looked at him in disbelief.

"Have I ever lied to you detective?"

"No."

"Then there you have it; now can we please leave this place I no longer want to be here." He leaned back into the chair in silence.

Chloe had so many questions. No, he had never lied to her, but how could she take him saying something as outlandish as Charlotte Richards being his mother. Then she took a quick glance at her, and she was fawning all over him, but not like someone who was a current or past lover. She was soothing him and taking care of her baby.

"Oh, my god." She laughed.

"Very good now you believe me, take me from here before I start walking home." He growled.

Dan decided that the bickering from the two women was far too humorous to pass up now, so he agreed since he was driving an SUV he would take Chloe and Lucifer back to her place. Besides any extra chance to see his daughter was a bonus.

Now that the cat was out of the bag the two women weren't holing any punches. First, they argued over which one of them would carry his belongings, and then who would push the wheelchair. Once they got to the parking lot neither one of them went to the passenger side with him, both got in back sitting on opposite sides of Lucifer. A person who just looked both miserable and awkward. He'd given up telling them to behave, because apparently, they both were trying to outdo the other on the who love's Lucifer the most department. Are should he be saying Luci which was what his mother was calling him now.

They were about twenty minutes from Chloe's place and he decided to look threw his rearview mirror since they had all gotten quiet. Lucifer had fallen asleep, and had begun to snore. His mouth was open and he was getting louder by the second. He had taken one of his hands and had reached out towards Charlotte and she had taken his hand which he began to hold tightly. The smirk on her face was not lost on anybody, and even though he knew Chloe believed when he said she was his mother a part of her was jealous that he had sought her out for comfort.

Chloe knew that Lucifer had never lied to her, and she believed him when she said that this woman was his mother. The way she fawned over him for the last hour was also helping her see that she was in fact who she claimed to be. He had whimpered in his sleep, and when she stuck her hand out thinking that he would grasp as he did in the hospital, it did hurt when he didn't but grabbed Charlotte's instead. He was squeezing it tightly and when she looked up she couldn't help but feel a little hurt at the smirk she was given. As if she was saying, she'd won. She looked away before she said something wrong to Lucifer's mother.

Lucifer was trying to pretend to be asleep, but he could feel the hate in the air. He thought his mother was over this, but he knew that she was just worried because something had broken through his shell. He would admit that he was as well, but this was something he needed to see through. He and Chloe were real, and he needed her. He grabbed his mother's hand aggressively. He wanted her to know that he was still in control and whatever she was thinking about Chloe she was to get a hold of herself quickly. He could feel the bones protesting trying not to break. She had a little more power than he expected, they'd discuss that later.

Chloe regretted getting in the back now, apparently, all a boy needed when he was sick was his mother after all. When she got home she would just get out and let Dan drop them off at the penthouse.

Lucifer had been fighting it, but he could finally feel himself falling asleep. The headache was coming back, but he wasn't going to complain about it. He knew there was something deeply wrong with him, but he needed to be on his two feet and away from the hospital to see what was going on.

"You smell nice my dear." He told Chloe as he snuggled into her. He felt his head finally land on her shoulder before he gave into slumber.

That was all Chloe needed. She had won this round.
