AN: Thank you guys so much for all the positive feedback for the first chapter, and I hope you guys enjoy the second chapter.

He smiled at her as he reached out a hand for her. Pulling her into a dark space with him. His deep brown eyes looking down at her, as she gently grabbed his hand.

Stars light up the room as soon as she did. He smiled at her as he started to twirl her around happily. She laughed a little as he picked her up.

"What would I do without you?" Lucifer said softly into her ear.

"You probably would have died less."

That got a loud chuckle out of him. "True, but where's the fun in that." He said touching her cheek.

She reached up to stroke his face when a warm liquid touched her fingers. She slowly pulled away as she noticed blood dripping from her fingers. "Lucifer...you're bleeding."

The devil just smiled. "Well, I did just get attacked."

Chloe's heart raced as he said that. Memories starting to flood back to her as the stars quickly went out. He gently placed her back on the ground.

"Guess our moment of peace is almost up."

"Lucifer what are you-" he gently placed a finger in front of her lips.

"Not much time to explain deceive. You're gonna go back any moment."

"Go back, go back where." She asked as he gently touched her hand again.

"Doesn't matter. You have to continue to be strong for me though. You have to do this for me. What your going back to isn't going to be easy, but please detective." His voice sounded hurt and broken. "Just please...don't leave me." When she turned to look at him again, he was gone.

"Chloe." She heard a small voice say as she came too. She opened her eyes, only to be welcomed by those same deep brown eyes she had just been staring into moments before.

"Don't leave me."

However, the man that those eyes belonged to no longer stood before her. Now in his place was a young boy. With loose curly hair. A round face, and a worried expression placard on it.

"I was starting to get worried…" he said nervously as he crawled up onto the bed beside her.

Right, Lucifer had gotten hurt. He had done something...that healed him. However, she didn't understand how or why he decided to make himself younger. Nor did she know if the man she called her partner, her friend, was still in there, or if she would ever get that man back.

She pushed those feelings aside for the time being. Lucifer was an immortal being as old as the universe itself. If anyone knew how to fix himself it was him...probably.

She smiled a little at the child, as she sat up. "It's ok, Lucifer I'm fine."

He smiled and hugged her. Then instantly pulled away. "Sorry... I don't know what overcame me there."

Ok, so her Lucifer was still there. Mentally at least it seemed.

"That's gonna be happening a lot Lucifer. You know that." Maze said as she walked in and sat down in Lucifer's chair.

"I know Maze, but I'm trying not to worry the detective more that I already have." He said as he crossed his arms. He wore one of his normal dress shirts, that was extremely too big on him. Sleeves rolled up, but they still almost covered his hands.

Chloe held back a laugh at the image. Only a day prior. On one of the worst days, she had ever lived through. The tall, handsome(though she would never admit it out loud), literal devil. Had been a full grown former ruler of hell. Now in his place was a pint size would be king. That somehow had done this to himself. A question that was starting to nag at the back of Chloe's head.

Everything had happened so suddenly that she hardly had time to process all of it. Let alone the biggest question of all.

She pushed herself closer to the young devil, as he smiled softly at her. Melting Chloe's heart all over again.

"Alright, all jokes aside. What the actual hell is going on." Chloe switching her expression from sweet and gentle. To more serious and assertive. A look she mostly reserved for the interrogation room.

Lucifer shifted a little where he sat. He turned and looked at Maze. As if to ask for the demons guidance in all this. Which was a funny sight? Since typically it was reversed. "Well, you see detective...this isn't the first time this has happened."

Chloe let out a soft laugh. "Trust me. I already figured that one out."

"Of course you did. Smart as ever." Lucifer said quietly. "Well, I learned this trick after spending time in hell."

"A trick"? Chloe said raising her eyebrows.

Lucifer nodded. "Hell was my own domain. The place I controlled completely on my own. While it wasn't my choice of location. I did enjoy that freedom...but not every being that dwelled there thought that way."

Chloe's heart started to ache softly. A child. Someone's child. Forced to spend their days running the very place humans feared more than anything. A man who had to do things, things like what was currently happening. Just to keep his place in that domain. Just to remind the creatures there that he wasn't an easy being to mess with. A child who never knew true love, because he was always fighting not to buried by others thoughts and actions towards him.

How could a father ever destine their child to such a fate?

"Every once in awhile a rebellion would break out. lost souls or other demons would attack."

"Low life traitors," maze muttered.

"Well, a few times I would get attacked."

"But, I thought your mortal sitch was only around me."

Lucifer nodded. "Yes, but angels can kill angels. As well as demon daggers, and other weapons that are forged in hell or the high city."

Maze whipped out her daggers just then and gently placed them on the bed. Which was an interesting thing for the demon to do? She typically just threw those blades where ever she wanted to. Not caring who she harmed. However, Chloe suspected that maybe things were different given Lucifer's current state.

"Exactly. These...do more than just prick." He said gently pricking his finger on the blade. As a small stream of blood dripped from his hand. "So, when I was first attacked. I almost died. Until Maze came up with a plan."

Maze smirked a little. Chloe knew Maze was internally praising herself for her genius.

"Angels can switch their forms. In certain situations. Allows them to blend in. Helps us blend in with humans without causing much suspicion. I lost that ability, at least I thought I did. I learned quickly I can travel down my own timeline."

Chloe made a face. "Your own timeline? So this is you from your childhood." She said gesturing towards his current state.

Lucifer nodded a little at her. His baggy sleeves sliding back down his arms as he did. He groaned slightly as he rolled the sleeve back up. "Yes, this was me as an angelic little wanker." He said in annoyed tone.

"So, wait. How does any of this help your future body heal?"

"Patience detective." He said playfully, as she just rolled her eyes at his "luciferness". Kid or not, it was still the same old Lucifer.

"Since I traveled down my own timeline. My future self-doesn't currently exist. That body isn't real yet. So since angels can shift forms, that forms we shift back into are always healed. In perfect condition, so we can go back and carry on with our heavenly duties. It sometimes just takes a little time." He said waving his arms around a bit.

"But if that body doesn't exist…" Chloe said worry in her voice.

Lucifer turned and looked at her. Seeing the worry in her eyes. He gently moved closer to her. "It's ok, Chloe. My body will be fine. I'll be back to the old me in no time."

She looked up at him, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. "How long?"

"A week...possibly longer."

"A week," Chloe said with a slow nod.

Lucifer sighed a little and looked down at the bed. "However there is one more thing."

Chloe held in a groan. "Of course there is."

"What is it?"

"Since I traveled back on my own timeline...my memories are gonna fade. Just for now. They will return once my body is fully healed. But until then…"

"You won't remember me...or any of this."

He nodded sadly. "I can already feel them slipping." Fear crept into his voice as a single tear dripped down his face.

Chloe was scared, no she was terrified. All of this barely made any sense. She, however, had to be strong. For him. For the both of them right now. She wrapped a hand around him and pulled him into her chest.

"I'm scared…" he said in a tone that no longer sounded like the devil she knew. She continued to hold back her tears, but it was becoming increasingly more difficult.

Maze finally rose from her seat and moved beside him. "We will both protect you Lucifer. You'll be back to normal in no time." The demon then did something Chloe had never seen her do with such tenderness before. Maze leaned forward and gently kissed the devil on his forehead.

"M-Maze…" he mumbled as his eyes closed, and he gently fell asleep in Chloe's lap. Chloe's eyes looked up at Maze.

"What did you do," Chloe asked quietly. As she stroked his head.

"I just eased his thoughts. He tends to get...emotional like this." The demon gagged at that. "So, I just put him to sleep for now. While his thoughts regress."

"And that's helpful how?"

The demon shrugged. "Always made things easier for me."

Chloe sighed a bit. Frustrated with her roommate, but slightly understanding where she came from. Maze didn't know who to deal with this. She wasn't his babysitter she was his protector. So, of course, she wouldn't understand exactly how to take care of the young devil.

Lucifer slept for several hours. His head gently resting on Chloe's lap the whole time. She had barely moved since he had fallen asleep. Not wishing to wake him. She also didn't want to move him.

He looked so peaceful. So innocent. A look she rarely saw on him. Which made sense since right now this wasn't her Lucifer. This was just a boy. A boy who had yet to rebel from his father. One that still wanted to please his father. To make him proud. Not the man that had been betrayed by him. That had his heart ripped, and his body burned as he fell from the high heavens and down to earth.

Wounds that would never truly heal. No matter how many times a week he went to therapy.

"Do you have anything he can wear?" Maze asked after a long period of silence. The demon had been busy packing up his things. The two of them had agreed for the time being they would just have him stay with them. They both figured he couldn't be more of a handful then Trixie.

Right?

"No, I don't. He probably won't like anything Trixie has. Even if he did, it would probably still be too small for him." Which was true. For a seven-year-old, he was still pretty tall. Which Chloe just assumed had something to do with being a celestial being and all.

Maze sighed a little. "Guess I'll go get him something." Maze mumbled as she finished packing up some more of his things.

Chloe smiled a little at her roommate. "Thank you, Maze."

She waved Chloe off. "Yeah, yeah. I'm the best. I know." Maze slung her bag over her shoulder and headed out of the penthouse.

"I'll head out soon," Chloe called after her roommate. The demon flashed her a thumbs up. Just as she disappeared.

Chloe sighed running her hand through Lucifer's hair one more time.

The little devil mumbled a little as he turned in his sleep.

Her heart skipped a beat. Every Time he let out a soft breath her heart melted over and over again. It reminded her when Trixie was a baby. How she would watch her sleep, mindlessly for hours. Just watching her take breath, after breath.

After the hell on earth that was the day before. It helped Chloe settle, knowing that he was ok. Knowing that he would be alright. However much like how when she watched Trixie. She knew that at that moment this child meant everything to Chloe, and she would be damned if she let anyone harm him.

She kissed his forehead, and gently picked him had originally told her that he would be out for a few hours. She would rather get him to her apartment when he was sleeping rather than being awake.

Trixie had always been difficult to take anywhere as a child. She did not wanna know what it would be like with an angel child.

After an hour. She had grabbed a few things that she had left at his apartment. Showered, she had still looked like she had been run over by a truck from the day before. Stopped to get a few groceries. Leaving Lucifer to sleep in the car while she did. It was a cool fall day, so he was safe being in the car for a few minutes.

Now she was finally holding him in her arms ready to enter the apartment, as she held a bag of groceries in one of her hands. She cared him up to the apartment. She opened the door and was immediately greeted by a familiar sound.

"Mommy!" Trixie came running. The little girls smile for a moment, before pausing. "Mommy, who is that."

Crap. Chloe hadn't figured out a cover for him while he was this way. She let out a soft sigh, knowing what her partner, who was currently asleep in her arms would do.

"I never lie detective."

"Well, monkey that's kind of an interesting story."

Chloe spent the next few minutes explaining the situation. When Lucifer had come clean to Chloe when he came back from his little walk in the desert. He had shown her everything. While she thought he had done it in private in her apartment, while Trixie slept. She had been mistaken. Trixie had listened to the entire conversation and now knew what she always believed.

That Lucifer truly was the devil.

"So, he is stuck this way." The little girl asked as Chloe brought him to the couch and laid him down.

"He said he would only be this way for about a week."

"So, is he staying here?" Trixie said with excitement.

Chloe smiled and nodded. "Yep, gonna be a week long sleepover."

Trixie squealed with excitement, as Maze walked in. A bag of clothes in her hand.

"Hi, Maze," Trixie said happily high giving the demon as she walked over and sat the clothes down on the couch. Before proceeding to walk over and sit down beside her sleeping boss.

"Is he gonna wake up soon?" Trixie asked joining Maze on the couch.

"He will in just a moment." Maze gently placed her hand on his forehead.

Chloe's back stiffened a little as she did. "Maze, what are you doing."

Maze chuckled a little. "Don't worry decker. I'm just sorting out his memories, so he doesn't freak out that he is no longer in the silver city."

Chloe sighed realizing Maze truly had this handled. She didn't know what it would be like if Lucifer lost his cool as a child. As an adult, he could throw people through glass windows with just a flick of his hand. No telling what he could do as a pissed off seven year old with angelic powers.

Maze said something the Chloe couldn't make out, as a soft murmur escaped her lips.

"Lucifer." Maze said gently, as she brushed some of his curls out of his eyes.

The young devil slowly opened his eyes and smiled at her. "Hi, Mazikeen."

Maze laughed a little. "Glad to see your awake."

Lucifer slowly sat up as Trixie and Chloe took a step back. Giving them some room. Lucifer looked around, a little dazed. His attention stopping on Chloe, before smiling again.

"Hi, Chloe." He said getting up and hugging her legs. Chloe sighed a sigh of relief.

"I thought he wouldn't know me?" Chloe asked Maze.

"He doesn't really. Whenever this happened in hell, I just switched his memories around to think I was a friend of his parents. Taking care of him for a bit."

For a demon Maze truly did care for this child version of her boss. Though Chloe had come to realize that Maze does like several people, and she likes Lucifer more than anyone else. So it made sense she would do everything in her power to help him, as well as make things easier for her when it came to taking care of the young devil.

Lucifer then turned his gaze towards Trixie. Who immediately smiled at her new playmate. "Do you wanna make a fort!" Trixie said in a high pitch squeal.

Lucifer looked puzzled. "A fort?"

"You don't know what a fort is?"

He shook his head sadly.

Trixie turned and looked at Chloe. "Can I show him how mommy, please!" The little girl said flashing her best puppy dog eyes.

"Alright monkey, just for a bit. Then bedtime. You still have school in the morning."

Trixie grabbed Lucifer's hand and pulled him towards her room.

Chloe chuckled as she saw the two children take off.

Chloe had set up several things for him on the pull out couch as they played. Setting up some sheets and chlothes for him.

Trixie and Lucifer had been peacefully playing to her, and mazes relief. While Maze had been trying To get a hold of Amenidial. Who had just disappeared out of nowhere? After several failed attempts the demon gave up trying to contact him and was now determined to go out and drag him back herself.

Leaving Chloe alone with the two kids. Chloe didn't mind. Gave her some time to just watch them. Lucifer to her surprise acted like any other child. Playing happily, arguing a few times with Trixie, but they worked it out rather quickly. Maybe he didn't have his powers yet?

Though after everything Chloe had suffered through, she highly doubted that. Why would the universe decide to give her a break now?

Chloe knocked on the door, just as the two were finishing up their fort.

They had draped a few blankets several chairs that they had collected from around the apartment. Then laid pillows out on the floor, a few of Trixie's stuffed animals, and a few games.

"Bedtime guys."

"But mom."

"But Chloe!"

They whined in sync. Chloe laughed and rolled her eyes at them. "No buts guys, now come on."

Fifteen minutes later Trixie was curled up in bed, already half asleep. As Chloe picked up Lucifer and tucked him into bed. Maze had gotten him pajamas that read "Little Hellion" on them. A joke that flew over the young devils head, however, Chloe got a few good chuckles from that.

She pulled the sheets up to his chest, as she kissed his head.

"Chloe." He asked softly, just as she was about to go upstairs.

"Yes, Lucifer."

He fumbled with the blanket as she stared down at the sheets. "Could you...stay with me." There was a spark in his eyes, that showed a brief glimmer of the Lucifer she knew. "Mummy and daddy never do. They just tell me to be brave."

Chloe couldn't help but feel sorry for Lucifer. From all the stories in which he eluded to his parents were not so great, she had never realized just how much they didn't really care. They always said they did. However in Chloe's eyes leaving their children when they needed them the most, was no way to treat a child.

"Of course Lucifer." She slid into bed and he immediately wrapped his arms around her. Burying his face into the side of her chest.

"Good night, detective."

And her heart skipped another beat.
