Maze, Chloe and Lucifer sat at the bar downing shots. Trashing Dan was fun and Chloe didn't have a single regret. She thought she would feel guilty but after all that tool had put her through, she actually felt ten pounds lighter. Couldn't have happened to a better guy.
"So, you're the devil and Maze is a demon? You kept telling me, but I didn't listen. Why am I so dumb, Lucifer?"
"You're not dumb, Chloe, the human mind can't accept things such as God and Satan, even when the evidence is right in their faces", Maze told the detective as Lucifer rubbed the woman's back. "Besides, if you were dumb, Luci there wouldn't have invested so much time in you."
"Do not call me Luci!"
Chloe gave Maze a wink and turned her head towards him, "Ok, whatever you say, Luci."
"Blasted females ganging up on me. Maze go see if the child is awake, I need a word with the detective."
"You two need more than just a word with each other. Sleep together already, dammit", the demon said walking away.
"I am only going to say this once so listen to me carefully, Chloe. I didn't realize saying these things out loud was so hard. I adore you, Chloe. You make my life a lot less boring. Your child isn't so bad either. At least I can tolerate her. I would like for us to try to be somewhat exclusive. As in, no one else touches you and I will not touch or let anyone touch me." I hope that came out right, I've never asked this of anyone before. "Chloe Decker, will you be mine?"
Her heart was pounding in her chest. He really asked, formally. He was so awkward and sweet. For a man who never practiced monogamy in his life, Chloe knew how major this was for him. And you'd be an idiot to say no, look at that face.
She took his hand in hers, giving it a squeeze, "Yes, Lucifer. I will."
A loud clap came from overheard. Both turned to see Maze clapping and Trixie jumping up and down. Both demon and child were grinning from ear to ear. Lucifer smiled at Chloe, "Even they approve."
Trixie ran down the stairs and jumped in Lucifer's lap, "Does this mean you're going to be my step-dad?"
Chloe winked at him, "Well, are you going to?"
Ah, challenge accepted, Detective. "I can try, offspring, I'm far superior at most things, perhaps I will flourish in this role as well."
"Ok, first we're going to have a tea party then I'll paint your nails", the child said stroking her chin.
Maze laughed. This was going to be better than going to hell. She would get to watch Trixie perpetually torture her boss.
