I do not own Lucifer.

She sensed their presence and looked across the room to see them. A giant grin broke out on her face and there was a twinkle in her eyes that her children had lost a long time ago.

"Lucifer, my favorite son!" She called out not caring who heard. "Finally, you made it back. Well don't just stand there, come say hello to your mother."

He was put on the spot and for once he wished he wasn't. His mother had brought all the attention to him, all eyes in the entire club were on him. He didn't want to cause a scene. He could fake manners when the situation called for it.

So he took a step forward, and another one.

But he was walking alone.

Lilith was going nowhere near her mother, unless she had a weapon. She just had a cold hard stare as she watched her brother give their mother a hug. He, unlike her, knew how to save face.

Then her mother looked at her, disappointment already on her face. "Lily, no hug for your mother?" She had the nerve to ask.

Lilith cringed and everyone could see it. The atmosphere changed drastically, the tension could be cut with a knife. She hated being called Lily.

Lucifer could see the smoke starting and decided wisely to take the conversation upstairs away from prying eyes. They could be open alone. He guided his mother into the elevator to the penthouse.

He could not believe he was doing this, inviting his mother into his home, willingly. But he needed answers.

"So whose body did you steal?" He started off with that question. He knew her soul had escaped from Hell and needed a host on Earth.

"She recently died, not sure how. Her identification card thing says Charlotte. I think she looks good. I get free drinks a lot." Charlotte grinned.

Lucifer threw up a little in his mouth. She had barely been back on Earth and already men were throwing themselves at her. This was his mother here, despite the bad blood.

The elevator door opened and Lilith stepped out, She barely glanced at anyone else in the room and went right to the bar. She poured herself a glass then drank straight from the bottle.

"Fine Lilith, talk to me when you are ready to be mature." Charlotte said, giving her daughter space. Then she turned to her son. "So, this is where you live and work? Do you like it? Are you happy? Tell me everything."

Lucifer looked over at Lilith, silently pleading for support. His sister only shrugged and left the penthouse. She was not ready to be mature.

Lilith sat at the bar, consumed in her bottle and ignoring everyone. But someone did start talking to her.

"So your mother is here." Maze observed.

"I do not want to talk about it."

"I was never able to break her in Hell."

"Well, she is in human body, maybe there would be a different outcome this time."

Maze's eyes gleamed. "You think?"

"Only one way to find out. But sadly that's not my call. Lucifer is the Ruler of Hell, he's in charge." Lilith did respect her brother's position but it sometimes went to his head. She was more of the warrior between the two of them.

A few minutes later, Lucifer appeared next to her, taking the bottle right from her hand. "I had to get out of there. She started asking about my sex life. Then started telling me about hers."

Lilith gagged and pushed pictures out of her head.

"Well, she does have a hot body, what did you expect?" Maze asked, feeling amused at the siblings' reactions.

"Why did she have to find that body? Why couldn't it be a hag body or something?" Lilith asked, knowing she wouldn't get an answer.

"Hag body? Who has a hag body?" Chloe had somehow entered the club and made her way to the bar without Lucifer noticing.

"Detective, maybe you can help us with our family problem. What do you humans do with your parents when you don't want to deal with them anymore?"

Chloe stared for a moment. "Wow, don't want to deal with them anymore? And here I was thinking you were a loving son. Well, most children take their parents to live with them. But there's also nursing homes for parents who need to be watched, for health reasons or things like that."

"That wouldn't work, on so many levels." Lilith remarked.

"Why? Lucifer, what's going on?"

"My mother is here, unexpectedly."

"Your mother? Is she like the two of you?" Chloe had not accepted the fact that Lucifer was the Devil or that both he and Lilith were fallen angels. She just continued to play along with their game. "So your mom flew down here to check on her kids?"

"Wrong direction. And I really doubt she wants to check on us." Lilith took the bottle back from Lucifer.

"Well, that does explain why Lilith is drinking more than usual. Look, I would love to stay and chat, but I have to get back to the station, If you two need anything, let me know." Then Chloe left.

Lucifer and Lilith didn't have any time to enjoy being alone before everything around them slowed down.

"And again I find the two of you enjoying yourselves. Are you not taking this mission seriously?" Amenadiel scolded.

"She's upstairs, calm down, brother." Lucifer huffed.

"Mother? She's here?" Amenadiel asked, shocked.

"Correction, she's back down here. And look, she's heading our way." Lilith said turning around. She couldn't look at her mother.

"Lucifer, I was watching your moving picture box and I need to go buy cheese." Charlotte announced even before we reached them.

"Cheese? What could you possibly need cheese for?" Lucifer asked. Clearly he was going to be the only one talking to her.

"I want to have a family dinner, and according to the magic box, noodles and cheese are the answer to bring a family together."

Lilith scoffed, What show had her mother stumbled on, something from the 1950s?

"Amenadiel? You're here too? It's so good to see you." Charlotte hugged her son, receiving a weak hug in return.

"She goes by Charlotte now, if Mum sounds too weird to say to her in this form." Lucifer informed Amenadiel.

"Tomorrow night, all of us? Yes? I know you will all be there." Charlotte said, leaving no room to argue.

Yeah, the cheesy noodles had to show up, it was funny.
