A/N: Thank you all for reading, reviewing, favoriting, and alerting! This picks up immediately after the last chapter.

"The Devil," she whispered to herself.

Maze looked up at the blonde's words and growled, there was too much happening for only her to handle. Unwilling to leave her master's side with him being so vulnerable right now she barked, "Is the baby ok?" As an afterthought she asked, "Are you?"

Chloe licked her lips and swallowed before nodding once. "We're fine. Maze, what- what is he?"

The demon ran to the bar and grabbed a towel before hurrying back and wiping away some of the blood. "You know what he is," she snapped irritably.

"That's not possible," she argued, hands running through her hair. "Its- it's not real. The bible, any of it. It's just stories."

Maze shrugged, "Ok then, if its all a lie come over here and help me take care of him."

But she couldn't because she knew what she saw and it wasn't anything human. "I-" It was too much and tears began to role down her face, Chloe sliding to the floor against the wall, hands over her stomach. That held Lucifer's son. The Devil's child. "No, no, no," she murmured, her hormones and the stress too much for her to handle. "Oh my God, what is it? What's inside of me!" she screamed.

Maze blew out a breath; it was her job to take care of the human especially since Lucifer wasn't able. She didn't have a soul, so she really didn't care about the woman as long as the child was all right but there was no telling what she would do now that the veil had been lifted. Checking Lucifer again she growled in frustration that he was still scarily still and moved closer to Chloe.

The detective held up her hands. "Stop! Did you know? What are you?"

"His," she replied easily. "And of course I know, I told you I followed him through the gates of Hell!" She blew out another breath and smiled tightly. "I need to get these two people out of here before they wake up so you can have your freak out but you do it here and watch over," she turned and pointed to the Devil, "Him." When Chloe didn't respond she barked her name. "Decker! Focus! If he dies he goes back to Hell and this time he can't get back out. Not to mention he did this to himself to protect you."

Chloe nodded shakily and watched Maze, this small woman, somehow drag the man and woman onto the lift without even breaking a sweat. Alone with Lucifer, the Devil, she carefully climbed to her feet which took some doing and peeked over the couch at him wearily. He didn't look like she pictured the Devil looking, not that she had thought about it much. She wanted to run and never look back but a large part of her was concerned about how shallow his breathing was, the fact he still hadn't moved, and the blood tinting his skin. It was easy to separate the two in her mind despite her eyes seeing everything a moment ago. This was Lucifer, the same one who had absolutely no filter between his brain and his mouth, who did whatever the hell he wanted with no regard for consequences, and who had been by her side for the last almost eleven months now professionally and personally.

She could do this. Walking around the couch she felt his pulse and listened to him breathe and just like Maze she felt truly nervous of how weak he was. "Everything's fine," she whispered to herself, eyes never leaving his ashen face, all panic from her breakdown gone.

"What happened?"

Chloe screamed at the sudden voice and whipped around to see Lucifer's brother standing a few feet away looking like he had just been mugged. She didn't have any way to protect herself or Lucifer but she'd do her best. "Stay back!" Wait, Lucifer's brother? "Are you something too? Like Lucifer is?" she demanded.

The man's brows rose. "Where's Mazikeen?"

"She'll be back any minute," she seethed, hoping that was true. "What are you?"

Amenadiel looked around her to his brother and back to the woman. "I need to help Luci, we're losing him," he softly but firmly argued. "I am not the enemy."

Chloe nervously looked at him and back to Lucifer, wondering what she was supposed to do here. She didn't trust this man but Lucifer had said he was going to protect her, now she knew from what. Sort of. "I- Fine, ok."

The angel nodded in thanks and moved to Lucifer's side, looking him over and getting nervous. "I need you to tell me what happened, if it was- demons."

"I don't know what happened! The one had these milky white eyes and the other one Lucifer pulled this thick black stuff out of his mouth. Maze took them away before they woke up. How do you know it was demons? Were those two people possessed? What is wrong with your family?"

Despite the situation Amenadiel chuckled. "A lot." Sobering he looked down to his brother and laid his hand on his chest, closing his eyes and letting out a slow even breath. It was quiet and if Chloe didn't know better she'd say he almost seemed to glow for a second until he pulled back and opened his eyes. "I'm assuming he separated the demon from the human and it took a lot out of him. Too much. I don't know why he didn't just kill the humans, he's able to and human lives mean nothing to him." With a laugh under his breath he turned and looked at Chloe. "Or maybe I do know why. Now let's try this again, I'm Amenadiel, Lucifer's big brother. I'm an angel, my brother not so much these days."

"So your dad is-"

"God, yes."

"Why'd you try to kill him?" she demanded.

The angel looked back down at his brother and shook his head. "Because he upsets me so badly I can't control myself. I thought I knew what was best but it turns out perhaps I was wrong this time."

Not sure what he was talking about she hummed. Shifting uncomfortably she rubbed the back of her neck. "The baby, is it- like Lucifer?"

Amenadiel stood but moved no closer. "I can check if you'd like?"

Chloe forced herself to seem more in control than she felt. "Is it going to be evil? Like Rosemary's Baby?"

He frowned, "I'm not sure who Rosemary is but Luci isn't evil. He punishes it, helped create it, and feeds it at times but he's not evil." Approaching he held up his hand and Chloe looked at him wearily before offering a single stiff nod. He placed his hand on her stomach and stared down at the floor, pulling back a moment later with an undecipherable expression.

"Well?" she demanded.

"It's uh- It's not fully human." Seeing her begin to panic he hurriedly finished his thought. "That doesn't mean it's a bad thing. He could heal faster than normal, age slower, perhaps other things, but it shouldn't be too noticeable. He's more human than angel."

Mazikeen chose that moment to burst back into the room and growled at the new arrival. "Get away from her Amenadiel!"

Chloe hurriedly held up her hands, just going with instinct at this point. "Maze no, he's here to help. I think."

"Right," she scoffed, moving closer, face stuck in a sneer. "Like when you helped him drown? And where were you? You said you'd help yet you weren't here when he needed you to be."

The angel's head hung in shame. "In Hell. The demons over ran me, they were more organized than I thought they'd be." Looking back to his brother he sighed. "They planned and orchestrated an attack, I didn't see it coming until it was too late."

"Are you an angel too?" Chloe asked out of nowhere, green eyes locked on the other woman.

Both beings laughed and Maze shook her head, her expression condescending. "Little more south honey."

"Demon?" she guessed sharply.

She laughed once again and rolled her eyes. "Something like that." Walking over she sat down next to her master and held his cheek, leaning down to inspect him closer. "He feels better, breathing easier."

"I did what I could," Amenadiel offered. "If I do too much it could do more harm than good, his body is too weak for much more."

Maze looked at Chloe and back down to Lucifer. He needed to wake up, deal with this before it went even more to shit than it already had. This human had just learned of things that drove most people insane, found out the truth about divinity and Hell. "Do it. He'll be fine."

"You can't know that," they angel glowered.

Maze shrugged, "Then you kill him and he goes to Hell just like you wanted and I get to go home. Win-win. Do it."

Chloe threw her arms up, "No don't do it! You can't kill him!"

"Why?" Maze asked curiously. "You still want to play house with the Devil?"

This was so far past her comfort zone. "No! Yes. I don't know. Just don't send him back to Hell."

Maze sighed and nodded before looking at Amenadiel. "Do it."

"No!" Chloe shouted. "You can't do that! I need him here!"

"Why?" the demon shouted back, eyes cast expectantly upon her.

"Because I love him!"

The demon huffed in annoyance, these two really were made for each other with their gross affections and need to tell her about them. She had pushed because she had to know, needed to know not only for her own curiosity but in Lucifer's defense. If the human didn't return his feelings they'd be better off in Hell, she could snatch the child after it arrived.

Done with the arguing Amenadiel walked over and pressed both hands to his brother's chest, the man definitely glowing for a moment before pulling back. It was quiet and he looked down at his brother to see if he had helped or hurt him more. It seemed to be all right until Lucifer began to choke, blood dripping out of his nose once more. "Dammit Mazikeen!" Amenadiel cursed, rolling him over. "His nose is bleeding again and its going into his throat, I can't do any more! I'm making him hemorrhage!"

"Do it!" she screamed. "Now!", she barked just as Chloe pleaded with him to ignore her.

Amenadiel growled and put his hands back on his chest, if his brother went back to Hell so be it, it was where he belonged anyway. The human would be upset but she would get over it and he would make sure the child was protected here on earth. The worry was for not because after a flash of blinding light Lucifer's eyes flew open as he sucked in a sharp breath, coughing and gagging and shoving his brother away as he stood and spat out the blood in his mouth.

"Don't do that!" he shouted, rubbing his hands up and down his arms. "It's like there's ants crawling all over me! I hate it when you do that!" Pacing he twitched and clenched his fists. "I won't be able to sleep for a week now you prick!" He moved to the bar and grabbed a towel to wipe at his nose and lips, closing his eyes and gripping the counter tightly when he felt woozy from the blood loss. "Who said you could do that to me?"

"Maze said to!" Amenadiel blamed, pointing his finger at the demon.

Maze rolled her eyes and made her way for the stairs. "Well everyone's alive and safe, my jobs done. Told you he'd be fine you babies."

Lucifer turned to yell at her but realized Chloe was still there, eyes wide and staring at him and Amenadiel. His eyes narrowed as they slid to the angel, the events of the last little bit catching up to him. "Where the fuck were you? I was praying and you weren't coming! Something more important that your little brother hmm?"

Amenadiel sighed. "It was a planned attack, they had me pinned down dealing with them. I came as soon as I could."

"Funny, Maze said the same thing," he sarcastically spat. "This wouldn't have happened if you guarded the gate like you're supposed to!"

"I am! They're finding another way out," he defended.

Lucifer was standing mere inches away from him looking beyond furious. "Well deal with it, it's your job."

Fed up the angel jabbed him in the chest with his finger, forcing him to take a step back in his weakened state. "No, it's your job Luci and you'd be smart to remember that. I could have chosen to not come at all and let you descend to Hell." With a harsh breath he swiftly turned and walked towards the patio. "I'm leaving before I try to kill you again."

"Right, well drownings no longer an option, might have to get creative," he snarked loudly when the man vanished. Once alone he looked at Chloe and smiled uncomfortably, at a loss for what to say here. "Are you all right? The baby?"

She nodded jerkily. "Fine."

"Good," he said quietly. "Well you've seen me, know what I am, other than perfection," he smirked, it looking much more forced than normal. "Shall I call a car to take you home or would you like to stay here? No hard feelings love."

Blunt as always and to the point, for once she was thankful for his lack of tact. "I'd like to go home." She watched his nod of acceptance and gritted her teeth in frustration. Why did this have to happen? She was happy just thinking he was a nut but this was real and needed to be dealt with and she never backed down from something just because it was uncomfortable. "Can you take me?"

His face brightened a hair and he nodded. "I'll even go the speed limit."
