AN:Sorry this chapter took a little while. Ive been sick for the past week, and just havent been writing as much. Also thank you so much for all the reviews and comments! It means so much to me!:)


"Lucifer, for the last time get down from there!" Amenidial asked the young devil, who was atop a bookshelf in Chloe and Maze's apartment.

After the scuffle earlier Lucifer had flocked to the top of the shelf while Amenidial had helped Chloe off the floor. The young devil just glared at his older brother, dark eyes blazing. Not saying a single word. Arms crossed, and wings spread. In Chloe's eyes, he looked like a very pissed off canary. A creature that may try to look/seem threatening. However, their small stature and cute exterior prevent's them from doing so.

Maze was spread out on the couch, tossing popcorn in her mouth as she watched the fallen angel. Amendiel turned and looked at Maze. "You know you could help."

The demon just laughed as she tossed another piece of popcorn into her mouth. "Where's the fun in that." Maze said with a smirk as the Angel groaned.

"So, the devil himself is currently a child." Dan who had come in during the time the young devil had flown to the top of the bookshelf, ducking from the child as he did so. Who had surprisingly taken everything pretty well, considering the truth quite literally nearly smacked him in the face. It had only taken two beers to get Dan to relax. Which according to Lucifer had been way less than what Linda had needed when she found out, as well as the detective. It had taken her almost a whole bottle of wine to truly allow it to sink in.

Dan may not be the best person there is. He may screw up more than most, but if there was one thing Chloe knew for sure is that he was tough. God, he was tough. Considering everything he had gone through in his life he had learned to tackle things with his chin up, and his fists clenched.

"So, when did this happen?" Dan asked taking Chloe out of her own head space. She looked up from the glass of wine she had poured herself.

"Two days ago. After the attack."

"So, that's why you're taking the week off. To take care of him?"

Chloe shrugged a little. "He asked me to protect him, Dan. What was a gonna do."

"Well can't Amenidiel and Maze handle him."

Typical of Dan to try to throw the work onto someone else. Chloe rolled her eyes a little, as she gestured towards Amenadiel. Who was currently scolding the young devil, trying to get him to come down once more. Only to be rejected by Lucifer as he blew as raspberry at his brother. "Oh, that's it!" She could hear Amenidial say as he started to climb up the bookshelf.

"Does it look like they have it under control."

Dan rubbed the back of his neck a little. "I guess not." Dan then let out a soft sigh. "Alright, so what are we gonna do?"

"Lucifer said it would only take a week or so, and it has already been two days. So just gotta keep our eyes on him."

"Alright, but what about the attack."

Chloe sighed a little again. "I don't know Dan." She said taking another sip of her wine. "Amenideil and Maze said it could have been anything."

"But, that thing was specifically attacking Lucifer."

"That's what they believe."

Dan groaned a little. Knowing that while Lucifer had become sort of a friend to Dan. That bad things always happened around him, and towards those whom he cared about. Now he truly understood why that happened. Somewhere deep inside of him, he felt sorry for Lucifer. For the devil that was always blamed for all of life's awful sins. However, in this moment, he just felt annoyed for them getting dragged into another ridiculous situation.

"Well, we should start the investigation then," Dan said firmly.

Chloe nodded a little. "Definitely, we have a few more hours before Trixie gets off school. I can go back to the prescient and just start looking into it a bit."

Dan raised his eyebrow at her. "But you took the week off, won't the chief think that's weird."

Chloe just laughed a little. "When has the chief ever known me to truly stay away."

Dan shrugged. "Guess you got a good point."

"Lucifer damn it!" Amenideil cried as a loud crash could be heard from the other room. Chloe couldn't see all of what happens, but she could see that the bookshelf was no longer upright.

"Lucifer!"

Chloe said as she ran in. To find the shelf on top of Amenidiel who groaned as he struggled to lift it. "Maze, do you mind!" He snapped at the demon who was on the floor laughing. As the young devil snickered atop of another bookshelf. Chloe turned and shot him a look, and the young devil immediately stopped laughing. Lucifer hung his head down and slowly floated back down to Chloe.

"Lucifer, what do you have to say to Amenidial."

Lucifer looked down at the floor and sighed a bit. "I'm sorry, Amendiel."

"Good, now get that bookshelf off of him please." Lucifer nodded to Chloe and went over to help raise the fallen shelf off of Amenideil. "And put all the stuff back up." The young devil nodded again towards Chloe.

Dan smirked a little as he looked at Chloe. "Damn, you put him in his place."

Chloe laughed a little at that. "When have I never put that man in his place?"

Dan laughed a little harder at that. "Damn, I was married to the women who can keep the literal devil in line."

After a few minutes, the shelf was back in its original spot, with all of the non broken things back on the shelf. Luckily nothing important(old pictures of her father, things Trixie had made for Chloe, and a few relics Maze had) had broken. Just simple things like candles and knick knacks. Lucifer walked over to Chloe again when he was done. His wings tucked back inside of him. A few of his curls hung in front of his eyes, as he lowered her head as he gently rested his head on her chest. "I'm sorry."

Chloe smiled just a little and rubbed the top of his head. "It's ok. Just don't let it happen again."

Lucifer nodded firmly. Then looked up at Dan. "Why is douche still here?"

Dan threw up his hands in defeat. "Oh, come on! Even as a kid he still knows that nickname."

Chloe shot Lucifer another looked and his turned and buried his face further into her chest. "Be nice Lucifer." She said softly, as she ruffled his head. Covering his ears in the process.

"Maze put in some memories so he wouldn't freak out over not being in heaven."

Dan nodded as Chloe moved her hands from his ears. "So, should we go to the station and get Ella started on the investigation?" Dan asked as he stared at the young devil. Who clearly was taking advantage of the fact that he was disgustingly cute as a child.

"Yes, we have to figure out what that bomb was. As well as figure out what we may be up against here."

Dan nodded and grabbed his keys. "Alright let's go."

"Wait, I can't leave Lucifer here."

Dan groaned a little. "Well, then what? We take him with us?" The young devil immediately pulled his head up from Chloe's stomach and smiled happily.

"Can I please come with you, Chloe!" He asked flashing her puppy dog eyes. She had thought that her daughter had that look nailed, but Trixie was an amateur compared to Lucifer. She looked up at Dan, who seemed like even he was gonna crack at any moment.

"Well, it's probably best. That way no more bookcases land on people." Chloe said as she looked at Dan. Who actually nodded in agreement. Chloe took Lucifer's hand and smiled a little at him again. "Alright little hellion, let's go."


Thirty minutes later Dan pulled up to the station. Chloe slipped out of the passenger seat, and went over and help Lucifer out of the back seat. He gently took her hand as he happily walked inside with Chloe.

"Daddy never lets me see what he did when he was working," Lucifer said as they walked into the precinct.

Chloe's heart ached again. Lucifer had loved his father. Looked up to him at one point. Until Lucifer no longer wanted to be god's little angel. God back on his own son, over one teenage rebellion. Thus God lost him forever. She hoped that God was watching them at this very moment, and mentally kicking himself for throwing his son out.

She squeezed Lucifer's hand sending another single to the older version of himself. "I'm sorry he never did that Lucifer. However today you get to see exactly where we work, and maybe even help out."

Dan scoffed at that. "Cause he is so willing to help normally," Dan mumbled, as Chloe just ignored Dan's snide comment.

They descended down the main staircase in the precinct as Ella caught their sight before anyone else. The young Latina women happily walked over and greeted them at the bottom of the stairs. "Hey, guys." She looked at Chloe and smiled, seeming to miss Lucifer altogether. "Chloe I thought you were out helping Lucifer?"

"I am, but he is back home resting for now." Lucifer looked up at Chloe confused by her statement. However, Ella started to talk again causing the young devil to forget what he was gonna ask.

"How is Luce? Is he gonna be alright?" Ella asked a bit of concern in her voice. Ella had always liked Lucifer. Which if she actually knew who he was might change. Though knowing Ella she would probably be just fine with it. She may come from a religious background, but she didn't let her faith blind her. Only guide her.

"Lucifer will be just fine, Ella," Dan said reassuring the young women.

Lucifer looked up at them. "Why are you guys talking about me?" The young devil Interrupted a look of somewhat of annoyance towards the grown-ups around him.

The Latina finally took notice of the young boy and she immediately froze. While Chloe didn't think he really looked like the older version of himself. Ella was extremely observant and picked up on small details. Which made sense, since it was indeed her job. Piecing together clues. Finding things that maybe even skilled detective's such as Chloe and Dan could miss. Without even really thinking Chloe dropped Lucifer's hand and dragged Ella into a back room. Dan and Lucifer both quickly followed behind.

Ella was started to panic just slight. "Oh, my God," Ella said softly as she looked at the young boy.

"Why are you talking about Daddy?" Lucifer said looking at Ella. He walked towards her and smiled a bit. "Do you know my father as well?"

Ella looked down at the young devil not knowing what to say. She looked up at Chloe and Dan who just shrugged. Not knowing how to help the young women. Ella Just smiled at the young devil and nodded. "Yeah, I know your dad."

Lucifer's face lit up a little. "Really, how do you know him?"

"Um...well…" Ella looked at the two detectives again her eyes begging for help.

"They talk," Chloe interjected. Ella nodded at that.

"Yes, we talk all the time. Though it's mostly one-sided conversations."

Lucifer nodded a little. "He doesn't really talk much, but he is the best daddy."

Ella and the two detectives held back small snickers. If there Lucifer had said that he would have punched himself in the gut immediately afterward. Lucifer was still too young currently to think that his father was anything but amazing. It was honestly very sweet to see a side of him that no one else would ever be able to see otherwise.

Ella bent down and smiled at Lucifer. "Yeah, he kind of seems like he really is the best dad." Ella knew full and well that maybe God had been wrong about Lucifer. That his judgment towards his own son was more than just a little harsh. However, Ella felt that in her heart, God was probably somehow slowly making up for that. By allowing Lucifer to live his own life on earth.

Chloe walked over and placed a hand on Lucifer's shoulder as Ella rose to her feet again. "Alright, we got research to do. Don't we?" Ella said looking at Chloe.

"We need you to see if you found out anything about the bomb that was used."

Ella nodded and led them over to her workbench. Lucifer happily followed them. Chloe picked him up and sat him on the bench as Ella started to pull out one of the files.

"This bomb...is actually kind of freaky," Ella said as she started to shuffle through the crime scene photos.

Ella laid out a photo of broken pieces of glass with purple residue on them.

"What is that stuff?" Dan asked as he looked more carefully at the photo.

"That's it, I don't know," Ella said picking up the photo again. Lucifer scooted towards the photo trying to take a look at it. Ella gently pushed him back. "Sorry, Luce. I just don't think you could help right now."

Lucifer pouted and looked at Chloe. As if telling her, "they realize I am not completely a child." Chloe sighed a little pat his shoulder. "It's ok Lucifer. You'll be able to help with something." Chloe said softly to the young devil. Lucifer sighed a little again.

"Ok, fine." He mumbled. It was such a Lucifer thing to do, Chloe couldn't help but chuckle a little.

"So, the purple residue is from the explosion," Dan said pulling Chloe's attention back towards the case at hand.

Ella nodded. "Normally in an explosion such as this. The bomb leaves to dust, particles and such from the explosion and debris." Ella said pulling out photos from another bomb case they had worked a while back.

"Right, so this one had purple residue on it. Is that just from the bomb?"

Ella nodded. "I think so."

Lucifer perked his head up again. He scooted towards Ella again. Trying to look at the photo that was in Ella's hands. "Lucifer, just sit," Dan said pushing him back again. Chloe shot him a look as he did. "What?!" Dan said in defense. "It's not like he would know?"

Ella walked over to the computer and started to go through crime scene footage. When her eyes caught something. "Um...guys."

Chloe and Dan moved over to where Ella was. As Lucifer hopped down from the workbench. He went over and hugged Chloe's leg tenderly as Chloe stroked his head once.

The footage began to roll. There was Lucifer strolling in just as he had done at some many crime scenes. Ignoring Chloe's warnings of it being a hostage situation and he needed to stay by her side. Nonetheless the devil had burst into the room. His cocky grin plastered on his face as he did so.

Though that smile quickly faded. As a look of some sort of fear crossed his face. An image she had seen on the devil only once before. When he ran into her bathroom shouting at her.

"Did you know! This whole bloody time did you know!"

Only for him to see her, and realize she was in serious danger. She had not seen that same level of fear in his eyes until footage they were currently viewing. Though it was a similar type of fear. Lucifer's hands went up as he backed away a little. Whoever he was talking to. Then everything just seemed to take off in almost a sort of fast motion.

Chloe came running in.

Lucifer was in front of her in less than a second.

Then a large purple flash and they were both flying out of the building.

She hadn't even realized it when it had gone down. That his arms were wrapped around her. Chloe's heart almost broke. He had used his whole body to protect her.

Pieces of broken glass, shrapnel, and other items flew into the side of his body. Blood stained his white button down shirt instantly. Chloe turned her eyes away from the screen, looking down at Lucifer. Who was staring at the images. Not taking his eyes off the screen for even a moment.

His eyes flashed that familiar gleam and she knew he was there. For just a few moments. Watching the events unfold once more. Right by Chloe's side.

The devil himself. The being everyone said was evil. The creator of all of the humanity's sins. All of humanity's faults were the devil's fault. That same devil had almost sacrificed himself for her. A human.

Chloe reached down and gently grabbed his hand and squeezed it. Telling him, thank you. Though he didn't react to it. She turned her attention back to the monitor to see what he was now watching. His dark brown eyes were focused on a women that Ella had zoomed in on.

She was casually strolling away from the crime scene. A smirk on her face, as her eyes glowed bright blue.

"An angel of the high court." Was all Lucifer mumbled as Ella started to play the video again.
