First off, wow! Thanks for all the incredible responses! I am so happy that you all enjoy it! I hope you like the next chapter. There is so much that I want to just jump into but you have to wait for what I have in mind. I am easing it in so that it hopefully does not seem like it is completely out there. If it seems like the story is not progressing fast enough or to fast, do not be afraid to let me know. All comments are welcome.

She saw Lucifer leaning against a wall by the exit with his arms crossed and was just looking at her, "How long have you been standing there?" Chloe asked as Lucifer straightened up from the wall and came over toward her, he sat down in the chair next to her. Both of them never took their eyes off of each other.

"Only about a minute, what are you doing here? Looking for me?" He teased, while he looked her up and down.

"No, I brought Trixie along. I wanted to make sure that she was okay and I also wanted to talk to Dr. Martin about what I saw."

"You mean my dying? You could just come to me."

"Yes, your dying. I saw it and yet here you are. How can I ignore what I saw?"

"You can't. You saw me die, you saw me come back, easy as that. Plus Father wanted me back here because someone escaped Hell and he wants me to find her and drag her back there. That's pretty much the only reason I'm back," He wasn't going to tell her that he thought that the favor he asked of his father to protect Chloe was his job. He thought that he was also brought back to keep Chloe safe, that it was his job not another angel's. While he had been explaining this to her he had grabbed her hand and was holding it in both of his. They had been holding eye contact the entire time. "I'm fine, just a little sore, don't even have a scar, see," Lucifer pulled the front part of his shirt out of his pant and unbuttoned it, revealing his perfectly chiseled chest and abs, which had no bullet wound or even a trace of a bruise on them.

"But all that blood, how?" Chloe said not being able to stop herself from touching his stomach to make sure that her eyes were not deceiving her. He was incredibly warm, unnaturally warm it seemed like.

It also seemed like Lucifer liked what she was doing because he leaned into her and whispered, "If you want you could come over to my place later and you could inspect all of my body for scars."

But before Chloe could respond to what Lucifer had said, like all the other times Trixie opened the door at the worst possible time. Chloe still had her fingers gliding over Lucifer, "Mom- Lucifer!" Trixie ran over and jumped onto his lap. "Are you here to talk to Dr. Martin about yesterday, too?"

"Dr. Martin? Ah Dr. Linda. Yes I am, in a way." Lucifer said picking Trixie up off of his lap and setting her on her mother's lap instead. "I need to inform her of something that I learned."

Trixie obviously did not like having been picked up and moved, she liked Lucifer. She knew that when mommy talked to Lucifer and was around him she seemed happier than when she was with daddy, even though she sometimes did not look happy around Lucifer, she could still tell. Lucifer was funny and she liked that, daddy was never funny. When mommy talked about Lucifer she smiled and Trixie really believed that mommy really liked Lucifer. Mommy had also told her that when boys bug girls, like one of them was doing to her at school, it means that they like her, and Lucifer always bugged mommy. That was good, right? She could get two dads, that would be twice as much fun, even more because Lucifer was more funny. She realized that he had taken her off of his lap so that he could button up his shirt, "Lucifer, where is you owie?"

"Excuse me?" Lucifer said, looking up to Chloe for a translation.

"The bullet wound from last night, where were you shot? She doesn't see it."

Linda then stepped into the conversation, "Yes, Lucifer where were you shot?"

"Wait, what, how..." Lucifer looked at Linda confused. He then looked from her to Chloe, "You told her." He said as a statement more than a question.

"Yes, I need her help trying to get my head around what I saw and you are the main point in that," Chloe said, putting her hand on his forearm, seemingly without knowing it. "I want to be able to understand what I saw and not freak out about it."

"Should we all go into my office to talk about this?" Linda said, stepping aside to usher them in, "We can have some more privacy."

"Good idea," Chloe agreed, pushing Trixie off of her lap to be able to stand up. Lucifer stood up and tucked his shirt back into his pants. "You are just an enigma that keeps getting more and more complex."

"Why thank you detective," Lucifer smiled seductively. "I can always help solve some of your curiosities later in the bed-,"

"No, little ears," Chloe called over her shoulder, as she walked past him and ushered Trixie into the office and onto the couch.

"My apologies, detective. We can come back to this topic at a later time," Lucifer followed them and sat unnaturally close to Chloe who then elbowed him to slide out of her elbow reach. "Now what questions do you have for me before I get to why I am here?"

"Okay, so Detective Decker explained what happened last night, do you care to explain how you managed to not get hurt? Was it an act? Were you wearing a vest?" Linda started, jumping right into it.

"Like Detective said, little ears," Lucifer did not want to worry her spawn any more than had happened the other night, he knew that she would do anything to protect her daughter and he did not want her to have to think that she had to protect her daughter from him. Even though that would mean he would not have to be around the spawn, but that would mean that he would not be allowed at her house or around her most of the time and for some stupid reason thinking about that made him hurt inside, she was one of the two people that he would consider an actual friend and they were both in this room and he did not want to lose that.

"Okay," Chloe reached into her jacket and pulled out her phone and some earbuds. "Here Monkey, watch some cartoons"

"Really, Mommy?" Trixie said looking up at Chloe in disbelief and also afraid that by asking her mom would change her mind. Chloe nodded, "Thanks." Trixie managed to put the earbuds in and have a cartoon playing on Chloe's phone faster than any of the adults in the room thought possible.

"Okay, spill," Chloe than said, turning all her attention on Lucifer.

"Were do you want me to start?" Lucifer leaned back into the cushions, he knew that he had all the power here because he had all of the answers. He never lied to them, so he had to figure out what to say to them to not scare them off. Maybe if he just told them everything then they might realize the danger that they were all in and finally take him seriously and do what he asks, then again they might find him more crazy and completely blow him off, or worse try to commit him.

"How about, how are you not dead?" Chloe started off.

Twenty minutes went by of Lucifer explaining and reexplaining what had happened the other night. He was getting really board of the subject and with the subject of his mother not coming up but the threat still looming over everyone in this room was wearing his patience even thinner. For some reason thinking of them as friends and thinking that they could get hurt made him feel weird.

"Doctor, tell me why when I think that if one of you were to get hurt it hurts here," He asked clutching at his chest. "I don't like this." He sighed, "Especially when you are all in such great danger."

"Danger?" Chloe asked.

"Lucifer, you care about us-" Linda started, but when Lucifer opened his mouth to say something that she knew was going to be along the lines of 'I do not' she held up her hand. "Let me finish. You care about us, you consider us friends, yes?" Lucifer nodded. "Friends don't want to see other friends hurt. You saved Detective Decker and her daughter's life because you care about them, just like they care about you. Now why do you say we are in danger?"

"Look I don't care that you still don't believe me when I say for the tenth time today that I did die, but dear old Dad sent me back because my Mother escaped from Hell and she will come after me. I can protect myself fine from her, but you two are no match for her. You need to take vacation while I take care of her and drag her right back down to Hell with me." Lucifer knew that Chloe wanted to say something but he also knew that she was very confused with everything that he was now saying. "I asked my father for a favor, which does not matter, but in return I would be the son he always wanted me to be. I told him that I do what he wanted. I returned to Hell and found Mum's cage open and Dad then brought me back, to catch her and bring her back. Most likely when I so He will want me to stay down there so I will then never see either of you two again, I made my peace with that last night, but if she hurts either of you..."

Lucifer stood up and started pacing the floor. "What is this?" He said to himself, but Chloe and Linda heard him. They both knew that if they said anything now he would shut back in himself so they both remained silent. "Why am I feeling these stupid things? Is this what happens when you bring me back? I catch human feelings, Dad, is that it? You want more laughs, huh?"

"Chloe was now really worried, he was talking to himself but not, as if his dad could really hear him. "Lucifer?" She risked saying. Lucifer shot around to look at her. "Are you okay?"

"Why wouldn't the Devil be okay?" Lucifer recomposed himself and sat back down, "Look I need you guys to go far away and find someplace safe to stay for a bit, while I try to find her..." the last few words Lucifer said really slowly because he had just thought of a way that he might be able to find his Mother. It was a huge stretch, but if the stories that he had been told were true than it might just work.

Linda was getting really annoyed by his metaphors now, "Lucifer, just because you share a name does not mean that you are the Devil."

"I am, and I need to protect you two. I can't have your lives be on me. Now, excuse me while I go and find the one person that could help me find my Mum," With that Lucifer stood up, rearranged his suit coat and went over and opened the door. "Please listen to me and protect yourselves."

"Lucifer, what the Hell?" Chloe said standing up and following him out the door.

"Oh no, I'm not going there yet." Lucifer smiled at her, "Please take your daughter and go someplace safe. Take a mother daughter outing and explain to her what if going on with Detective Dusch. I want you safe."

"I can protect myself." Chloe crossed her arms and stood her ground, "Let me help. I want to help you since you helped me. That's what partners do."

"Oh so now I'm your partner? Such fun, but this is something the Devil needs to do."

"At least let me help you find this other person you are looking for, the one that will lead to your mother." Chloe responded, she put her hand on his arm making sure that she had his full attention. "I can help you, just let me in. You know that you can trust me, just like I know that I can trust you. Please."

"Very well Detective, but this is way to dangerous for the little human."

"Trixie, her name is Trixie." Chloe said exasperated, why couldn't he just call her by her name?

"I will not call that child by a Hooker name." Lucifer answered back.

"Fine, whatever. I can have a sitter watch her for the rest of the day. She really is a lot better than I thought she would be, especially when she found out that you were okay."

Lucifer seemed to slowly give in, he looked at her for a little bit and was about to say something, but like always Trixie bounded over to them and clung onto Lucifer's legs, "Mommy are we done now? Are we going to hang out with Lucifer now?" Trixie pleaded.

"Yes for a little bit, I was just asking your mother if I could take you both out for ice cream, what do you say Detective?" Lucifer said smiling at Chloe.

"Yes we can go out for ice cream, but then Mommy has to work with Lucifer so your sitter is going to come over and play with you tonight, okay?"

"Okay Mommy." Trixie said clinging tighter to Lucifer, "Bye Dr. Martin. It was nice meeting you."

Linda waved bye to Trixie, "Doctor, please take what I said in consideration and get out of town for a little bit. I want you to be safe."

"Lucifer, you know I can't do that, I have other patients who depend on me. I will be careful and if anyone asks if I know you I will deny it. You have my word. I will see you later. Good bye Detective, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to call," With that she went back into her office and let them alone.

"Okay where do we go for ice cream?" Lucifer said clapping his hands together.

So the actor who plays Lucifer, Tom Ellis was in a small British television show called Miranda, near the end I quoted a common line from the show, if you have seen it I hope you caught it. If you haven't seen the show you should, it is comedy and so worth your time.

I managed to finish this chapter before I head off. It will be about two weeks before you get another chapter, please be patient, but do send reviews. I love to find out what you think.
