In this AU Delilah was never murdered. Chloe and Lucifer first met at the Gillian Taylor case (2x01)
When a criminal tried to kill Chloe (chapter 5), Lucifer protected her with his wings: Chloe, Ella and Trixie found out Lucifer really is the devil. All three ladies took that reveal well, while Lucifer made them breakfast. Dan found out in chapter nine.
Chloe asked Lucifer how he could ignore his dad's orders if he didn't have free will. They are dating, first date was a visit toNorway to see the northern lights. They do sleep together.
God listened to prayers of Chloe, Lucifer wanted to know why. God showed up to explain. During the Big Bang he gave the cosmological constant a wrong value, he needs help to warn himself and change that value. He tells Chloe and Lucifer together will give that help without realizing.
Raziel, and some more angels came to Earth, to help with a case and to see Chloe. During the case they metAdrianna Nassar, who learned Lucifer is the devil.
They noticed that Chloe doesn't get drunk and gets healed as if an angel with red wings touched her. They find out Chloe is expecting and the angel touching her, is the baby she is carrying. Thy tell Trixie and Penelope. Telling Penelope includes telling her Lucifer is truly the devil.
Chapter seventeen: All nice women
Ella was the one that shouted: "Baby shower." First in the precinct and later that same day when the tribe was meeting in the Lux.
In the precinct Ella's idea was immediately supported by several female colleagues and Paula Cacuzza promised to help organizing it. "Just leave it to us, detective Decker."
In the evening in the Lux Linda and Adriana immediately said yes, Chloe rolled her eyes and Raziel and Maze frowned and asked what a baby shower was.
"We come together with all women that like or love Chloe and give small gifts for the baby," Ella said.
"Nothing too big or fancy," Adriana added. "Just things she needs for the little girl. And we talk and gossip and enjoy wine and snacks."
Maze joined Chloe in rolling her eyes, but Raziel became as enthusiastic as Ella. "Some of my sisters would want to come also," Raziel said.
"If some of your sisters join and mingle with officers of the LAPD, we better instruct them to avoid problems," Linda said. "No wings! No talking about Silver City or your Father. Pretend they are human and twice think over each word."
"I will tell them," Raziel promised. Maze raised a brow and Raziel hold up her hands. "I know, I know. I unfolded my wings in front of Adriana."
"Zuriel and Anael did it in front of father Frank," Ella added with a grin and a wink.
"Yes," Raziel said. "I learned. I will instruct them."
"Well, a baby shower with humans and angels," Maze said, shaking her head. "How it will be fun."
"There will be a demon part of it as well," Ella said. "You're one of Chloe's friends. Trixie will expect you, Maze."
Maze wrinkled her nose, but when Raziel pulled her close and kissed her, Maze shrugged and nodded. "I will watch and wonder."
Two days later Raziel and Maze came to Lucifer and Chloe when the last two left the elevator to go to the precinct. "We need your permission," Maze said.
"Father told me he will give his permission only if you give yours," Raziel added.
"My permission?" Lucifer's eyes flashed from one to the other and back, then he smiled. "For what? To sleep together?"
"I don't need your permission to have sex with whoever, Lucifer Morningstar," Maze snapped.
Raziel grinned and grabbed her arm. "That was not a serious question, Maze. No, Luci. Maze and I have been in hell for two days and Maze talked with a few of her sisters. Rymane would like to visit the baby shower and she asked Na'amah to come with her."
Two demons, demonesses, Chloe understood. She looked at Lucifer who stared mouth open at Raziel. "Father is ok with it if you give permission," the angel repeated. "He said both of them can be on Earth whenever you're ok and as long as you're ok."
"They will cause panic."
"Why?" Maze asked. "I wander Earth for years."
"And gave some problem," Lucifer mumbled.
"Less than half of the problems you gave yourself," she snapped.
"Maze, Luci, please," Raziel interrupted them. "It will only be the baby shower. What can go wrong?"
Lucifer shrugged. "Many things. But if the two of you think you can handle it, be my guest."
Of course it could not be only for the baby shower. Ella was very clear about that as she told Chloe later. "Everyone else will give some presents, so I told Maze and Raziel Maze' sisters need to come with something also. How, Maze asked me. By going shopping the day before, I said to her and I noticed Raziel frowning, so I asked: And your sisters, did you explain them about presents?"
Chloe grinned. "And?"
"Raziel never thought about it. She murmured about giving blessings. I said: No, no. Baby rompers, drinking bottle, teething ring." Ella shook her head. "I will take the whole bunch shopping the day before the shower."
"Lucifer only gave his permission that Rymane and Na'amah would come to the baby shower only," Chloe objected.
"I will explain to him," Ella promised.
Apparently Ella was clear in explaining, for Chloe heard Lucifer allowed the two demonesses to come one day earlier. Chloe met with Ella, Adriana, Maze and her two sisters and Raziel and four of her sisters in the penthouse before they went shopping. "Just so they know you," Ella had said, "and know for whom we buy stuff."
When the two demons entered the penthouse with Maze Chloe noticed both of them to look around with an uncertain expression, watching eyes wide open when Maze hugged and kissed the angels and blinking surprised when Maze lifted Trixie in her arms and got a kiss on both cheeks from the little girl. The two were even more surprised when they themselves got hugs, first from Ella and Trixie, then from Chloe and Raziel and also from Zuriel. After a drink and some smalltalk Raziel and Ella guided them all to the elevator to start the shopping.
The baby shower turned out to be a rather big party: of course Chloe and further Penelope and Trixie, six colleagues from the LAPD, including Paula Cacuzza, seven if one included Ella, Linda and Adriana, Maze ad her two sisters, and Raziel with five sisters, one more than yesterday. And there was Julia, Trixie's sitter who was told by Trixie about the baby shower and asked whether she could come. Twenty-two women, Ella and Paula making sure each one got time to talk with Chloe and enough baby stuff for the first year at least. Instructions from Maze and Raziel must have been clear, for no angel or demon said anything that made the humans wondering. There was food and drinks, music and dancing and at seven o'clock most of them moved down to the Lux for as Maze said: "More drinks, more dancing and some horny males."
Chloe stayed behind with Trixie, two colleagues and Jehudiel."
"Mommy," Trixie said. "What does Maze mean with horny?"
"Maze shouldn't have said that," Chloe said. "That is a no-no word."
"Is she now in trouble?"
"I will have a word with her, monkey."
The other three women smiled. "You like Maze?" Jehudiel asked.
"She is so cool."
Three days after the baby shower Chloe came home with Ella and found Trixie and her sitter, Julia, in the living room. When Chloe and Ella walked to the kitchen, Julia followed them. "Hi, do I disturb you?"
"No, girl," Chloe said and smiled. "Come in. We're discussing a case. But you don't disturb."
"We are only repeating the arguments we brought in yesterday already," Ella added and grinned. "So if you have some creative ideas, please."
"I'm sorry," Julia said. "I know nothing of police work."
"Never mind," Chloe said. "Take a seat." She took a good look at Julia. "What is worrying you?"
"Worrying? Me? No, no. It is just…." The young woman swallowed, fiddling with her fingers.
"Do you want me to leave?" Ella asked. "Do you have problem with Trixie?"
"No. Never with Trixie. No, Ella, please stay. It is just… After the baby shower we went down to the Lux."
"You did dance a lot with Na'amah."
"How exactly do you spell that?"
Ella spelled the name.
Julia sighed deep while shaking her head. "I searched the web for Na Amah as two words. Close enough. I should have found a Na'amah Smith. Sorry. I shouldn't."
Chloe looked at her, head tilted. "You should have found her?"
"I… We danced a lot, Na'amah and I. We… She said she had slept in the Lux the night before and we ehh… went to her room."
"Ah." Ella grinned. "Yes. I saw you two leaving hand in hand."
"Na'amah said she doesn't do relations, just sex," Julia whispered. "I said ok. She is so good in bed. I can't get her off my mind. I looked her up."
"She is not from LA," Chloe said. "Not even from California."
Julia ignored that. "She said Maze and Rymane are older sisters. Maze many years older. When I couldn't find Na Amah I tried Maze. Mazikeen Smith. Hardly anything apart from pictures and movies taken by visitors of the Lux. I found one guy who posted tons of pictures of Maze. He wrote her father is unknown and her mother, Lilith Smith, died four months after Maze' birth. He said Maze told him."
"I did't know," Chloe said. "I never asked." That was true: she didn't know what Maze was telling her one-night stands, she had never asked that.
"Chloe, mrs Decker…" Julia hesitated.
"Please say Chloe."
"Chloe. If Maze mother died while Maze was a baby and the father is unknown, how can Na'amah be a several years younger sister?" Julia shook her head.
"Maybe Maze is in a witness protection plan or victim protection," Ella suggested.
Julia gave it a thought and nodded. "Meaning her last name is not even Smith."
"Very likely," Chloe went with the story Ella made up. "But what do you hope for?"
"Getting in contact with Na'amah. I hope we can meet more often. Well… I understand..."
"Maybe Na'amah and Rymane are also in that protection plan," Ella continued.
"And they made be hiding for someone," Chloe said. "If Na'amah is also in a protection plan, she will be careful with telling too much, careful with making new friends."
Julia sighed. "Yes. Yes, of course. You can't give me her phone number."
"I don't even know her number," Ella said.
"But you can ask Maze to ask Na'amah whether she would want to see me one time more?"
Chloe looked at Ella. Ella looked back with question marks in her eyes. "We will ask," Chloe decided. "But I don't think she is near LA at the moment." That was certainly true, since both Rymane and Na'amah had gone back to hell and also, since time ran faster in hell, for them the baby shower was almost five years ago. She hugged Julia. "I'm sorry, girl, I hope for a yes, but you should be prepared for a no."
Julia nodded without speaking.
"Lucifer, you always gave the impression you have a soft spot Trixie's sitter," Ella started as soon as Lucifer came in that evening.
He raised his brows, looked first at Ella then at Chloe. "I like her a bit, yes."
"If she would need some help, just one minute and a few words, would you give it?"
Leave it to Ella to manipulate Lucifer, Chloe realized and she grinned.
"Why not?" Lucifer asked. "Does she need a new car? A private party with her friends and family in the Lux?"
"A party with just one friend. No need for private, she will join the crowd in the Lux."
"She is welcome with whoever she wants," Lucifer said. "Free entrance, free drinks and food. VIP treatment for both. Who is the friend?"
Ella took his hands. "You can still say no, Lucifer. She wants to see Na'amah again."
"What?"
"Julia and Na'amah have been dancing after the baby shower and went for…" Ella glanced at Trixie. "Some private time in one of the guest rooms. But you can still say no."
Lucifer shook his head. "I already said with whoever she wants. I don't break my word, miss Lopez. But is this wise? And does Na'amah want this?" Lucifer frowned, looking at Trixie. "Let talk about it later."
"Na'amah told her sex only," Chloe said as soon as Trixie was to bed and asleep. "But Julia can't forget her and hopes for more."
"Hopes on love from a demon?" Again Lucifer shook his head.
"Maze is very close with your sister," Ella objected.
"Maze is on Earth for years now," Lucifer said. "She is still hates feelings, but I agree she does well with Raziel."
"And with Trixie," Ella said.
"Mm. Yes."
"And with Linda and Chloe and me."
Reluctant Lucifer shrugged. "But Na'amah is now back in hell. It was several years ago for her she had that night with strange sex."
"Strange?" Chloe asked.
"Soft, friendly. No violence, no rape. I can't predict how she remembers it. Interesting? Disgusting? Good? Frightening?"
"Na'amah is the only one that can tell," Ella said.
"Of course," Lucifer said.
"So why shouldn't you ask her what she wants? See Julia one time more or refuse to come to LA," Ella asked. "And remember your dad's phrasing: she can be on Earth whenever you're ok and as long as you're ok."
"You're a nasty manipulator, miss Lopez," Lucifer said. He thought for some seconds, before looking at Chloe.
"You should ask Na'amah," Chloe said.
"Never in my life time," he grumbled. "I leave it to you and miss Lopez to explain such a thing to a demon. I will get her and bring her here and then it's your game. I'll be back in an hour."
Lucifer was indeed back in an hour and he brought Na'amah with him. The demoness gave a shy smile when she was hugged by Ella and Chloe. "For us it's only three days since we saw you," Ella said. "Do you remember Julia, the young woman that is Trixie's sitter?"
"Julia…" Na'amah closed her eyes, breathing heavily. "She… Yes, I remember her. Why?"
"She is thinking of you all the time. She would like to see you again," Ella explained.
"I think all the time of Julia. I tried everything: torture the most guilty, rape, orgies, be alone for a month. I can't do my job anymore. Are we ill? Will we be cured if we meet again?"
"We don't know," Ella said. "Sometimes when you meet again, you get disappointed. You do not understand why you thought you loved the other…"
"Love," Na'amah interrupted. "Me? How?"
"You must have noticed Maze," Chloe said. "Maze with Raziel, Maze with Linda, Maze with Trixie."
"My sister is gone nuts." Na'amah gave it a thought and then admitted: "But each time she comes down to hell, she has new innovative and creative ideas to torture the damned."
"Stay a few days on Earth," Lucifer said. "Meet Julia again. And after that we will see."
When they turned off the lights in the bedroom, Lucifer sighed deep and mumbled: "Why is dad arranging this?"
"What is your dad doing?"
"Dad is a better manipulator than miss Lopez, detective."
