14. Chapter 14

Chapter 14

I knew that I shouldn't be at Lux where they set up a sting to catch our killer as it would be a great risk for me and the baby. But I was distracted by my growing anger with Lucifer while, even during my car journey, my head was clouded with words that I wanted to use when I scream at him later. I get that Lucifer came forward to taking Jed to a safe place, but the fact I called him and texted so many times to leave Jed there and come and help with the sting so we could catch the killer. Now after hearing from my last call from Dan that Lucifer isn't even there. Damn, I really want to punch him that stupid guy!

Outside the club, there was a short line of people waiting by the front entrance as I parked my car by the side road. After jumping out of my car and harshly slamming the door, and marched my way to that wide entrance where loud party music was echoing from the inside. Lux was pretty packed, too packed, probably why Dan and Maze are finding it difficult to spot the killer in this dancing crown. It was like I walked into a world of neon lights where everyone was dressed in bright and colourful clothing, some with strips of luminous hair dye or decorative clips. When I squirmed passed some people, the glitter from their outfits touched some small parts of my leopard print shirt.

Leaning on the barriers, my tired eyes scanned the crowded floor where it will fill with a myriad of dancers but thankfully I soon spotted Dan and eventually Maze as they were slithering past some people checking them to see if they match the description of the killer. I couldn't help but wonder if Maze was wearing some bright clothing that was quite similar to Ella's colourful and classic style. My best guess what that Maze stole Ella's clothes for the sting, just Maze being Maze I suppose. Anyway, I dodged past some wild dancers on the ground floor as I reached down to the bottom floor. So many faces blurred in front of me, as well as the neon lights like I was inebriated with a hallucinated drug.

Unexpectedly, my ears caught laughter from a familiar voice not so far from me. Following that voice to a blonde-hair woman with two ponytails tied up on the sides of her head, she was wearing a white fury jacket where parts of it glows in the light colours of blue, green, red, and white. I dashed around the woman to catch her face and never predicted the doctor to be in.

"Linda?" I gasped in shock. The doctor had colour died the ends of her two ponytails in rosy pink, painted some sparkly glitter over her eyebrows and on her cheeks, and Linda was wearing a blue vest beneath her white, flurry jacket and a tash-miniskirt.

"Oh, hey Chloe!" she cheerfully leapt forward and hugged me tight, while my face was paused with the same surprise expression because I had no idea why Linda was here at the sting.

I was the one to break up the hug and questioned, "Linda, what are you doing here?"

"I'm hanging out and partying!" Linda shouted with her arms stretched out above her head like she anticipated those dancers around her to cheer afterwards.

"Okay, Linda, why don't you take a break" I insisted. Noticing how her legs are wobbling, hearing how Linda is slurring her words and how my nose caught a strong scent of alcohol from her mouth. Probably because my pregnancy has slightly increased my sense of smell as I remembered it happened to me before when I was pregnant with Trixie.

"No! Chloe, I need this" tenaciously, Linda gripped the side of my arm and pulled me closer so she could catch my full attention, and trust me, she did. Linda's slurring mouth began moving and the whining started, "I need some drinks. I need some peace. I need a place where they're no whining or crying or diapers. You know, and…"

"Linda. Linda. Honey. Listen" I interrupted in order to stop Linda from complaining, not only because I didn't have the time to hear more of her cries, but because I actually understood how she was feeling. My voice melts in sympathy, "I know what you're going through. I know the infant phase is really difficult. Trust me, I've been there. And, I'm going to do it again."

I must admit, the infant phase is not particularly my favourite; the fussy food situations, the deep concerns about the baby's health, the smelly diapers, the loud crying, and the short amount of time a baby sleep which lead to more crying. In the first few months, it was pretty hard raising a newborn baby, but I remember how it got easier when you find yourself a good route to secure your baby and give yourself a break. And overtime, I soon forget about all the troubles and come to appreciate the amount of time I was spending on my baby Trixie.

Linda grew a frown in relief like she felt so pleased to find someone who could understand her stress and desperate needs. I advised with a friendly smile, "But right now. What I think you really need is a long nap. Get some sleep okay."

"You're right. I do need some sleep" Linda nodded joyfully as she agreed with my advice, however she didn't fully receive the message as the intoxicating scent of vodka and wine caught her attention, "After I get another drink."

The doctor strolled passed me and rejoins the dancing crowd as she headed towards the bar and left me alone. I felt dispirited that Linda didn't take my advice, however, I empathised with Linda's struggles and perhaps a small drink of alcohol might her calm down.

"Chloe!" I heard my name being called out in the crowd. I spin around and spotted Dan dashing through the crowd like a leopard racing through the long grass. A panic look developed on his exhausted face, "What are you doing here? Lucifer isn't here."

"I know, but…" I replied when I was interrupted by a sudden vibration and ringing song coming from the side pocket of my jacket. I pulled out my phone with the title 'Lucifer' and I growled, "Speak of the Devil"

Span my frustrated body around and pushed my way through the dancing crowd as I wished to speak to Lucifer alone. Behind my back, I could feel a small smirk printed on the side of Dan's lip as I knew he would have wanted me to feel some hatred towards Lucifer like he was at that moment. Once I stump my way back up to the ground floor, I walked towards the elevator doors and stood by the dark corner before answering my phone with a resentful growl, "Lucifer!"

"Detective!" hearing that sly, British voice of his straightaway boiled that furious rage within me, Lucifer spoke in an apologetic tone, "I'm so sorry I've missed your calls."

"Sorry! Sorry for what? Abandoning me again?" I roared hoping that Lucifer could feel my anger vibrating through my phone as the music behind me was still quite loud as well as the cheering from the dancing crowd. The volume of my voice increases as much as my temper, "I've been calling you all evening! Why didn't you answer me? I needed you Lucifer."

"What's up everybody!" a familiar voice echoed in my ears and pulled my attention back inside the centre of Lux. I reached the barriers and glanced across the room where I spotted Jed standing on the main stage behind the DJ setup table. Where it is clear for us to see him, and therefore it would be a clear shot for the killer to try to kill Jed again.

"Oh shit!" I whispered to myself as my eyes widen in fear and lowered my hand down with the phone in my palm.

"Detective?" Lucifer questioned as he heard me swear.

I brought my phone back against my ear and asked in a calmer tone. "Lucifer, why is Jed here?"

"Here?"

"At Lux!" I growled while gritting my teeth.

"I have no idea" he answered innocently.

"You were supposed to keep him in a safe place!" I couldn't believe this; he willingly volunteered to keep Jed in a safe place and now Jed is in the one place where he could be murdered

"Oops" he sounded ashamed, yet I felt a small smirk on the other side of the phone.

At that moment, my anger got the better of me as I ended the call on a threatening note, "Lucifer, I swear to God, I'll kill you if this case gets wrecked."

Right after I ended the call, Jed began playing his music on the DJ board and everyone in the crowd bounced and loudly cheered. I could feel the floor beneath my feet shaking like you couldn't tell if an earthquake was happening at that moment. We all knew that we were so screwed if the killer gets his chance to kill our targeted victim. My eyes scanned across the floor from one side from the right where the bar was, to the other side of the room where usually strippers would dance on a long stage against the wall. I spotted Dan standing close to the bar while Maze was on the other side, however I noticed that not everyone in the crowd was dancing.

A woman with short, black hair, was wearing big ear loops, a glittery jacket, a blue leopard-printed crop vest, and a short, purple skirt. She was giving a death stare directly at Jed and her body was frozen still like a predator hiding in grass stalking its' prey. Skulking her way through the crowd, I knew that there

Thankfully, Maze noticed me from below and I eyed the creepy lady so Maze could follow my stare and the demon ultimately detected the suspicious lady. Maze moved her legs at cheetah speed and, once she caught up with the suspect, the demon dragged the suspicious lady down to the ground. Meanwhile, I dashed down the stairs once more and caught up with the demon with a displeased look because of Maze's aggressive action, so I shouted, "Maze, what the hell?"

"I just wanted to take a selfie!" the young woman whined as she tried to wiggle herself away from Maze.

"Are you Karnalgirl506?" the demon questioned in a demanding tone.

"Yeah, so…" she answered yet the woman's focus glanced over Maze's shoulder and to someone else behind us, "Ron? Ron, what are you doing?"

We followed her gaze and saw a man, possibly Ron, who was standing on the edge of the stage, wearing a black hoodie with a red shirt beneath it. I should have noticed first that Ron's hand was hiding behind the bottom edges of his black jacket, however my eyes only caught the sighting the ear aids attacked on the sides of his head. That it clicked!

Ron pulled out a small gun from its' hiding spot and aimed it closely at Jed's face, I watched the body of my ex shaking straightaway in fear as Jed took a step back and raised his hands up each beside his head. I froze in position dreading Jed's fate as I felt Maze's hand gently gripping the side of my arms as the demon pulled me back away from danger.

The disco lights continued dancing around the large room, yet they out-shined the head by the main room lights from above. It must have been one of the bar staff who turned them on fully, which is actually good for us to see the whole situation clearly in the light. Meanwhile, everyone in the room was screaming and trying to rush out of the club, some of the dancers developed some doltish courage to hide behind some of the bars on the stairs so they could watch the whole petrifying event.

Still, at gunpoint, Jed held up his shaking hands high and muttered through his trembling lips, "Yo, man, what... We can work this out. Just calm down."

"Tell them! Tell them what you did!" Ron cuts in and shouted which blew a shock wave to everyone in the room, at the same time my hand was reaching down to my gun by the side of my hip.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know who you are" Jed denied, yet he wished not to speak ill in case it tempted the killer to pull the trigger. I caught the anxious stare from the Karnalgirl506 woman, at first I thought it for her husband's unexpected and menacing behaviour until I realise that she was actually gazing at Jed. And then, the whole theory hit me.

"But you know who she is" I jumped into the conversation while aiming my gun directing at Ron. The man panicky swift his aim to me and then back at Jed, he seemed very unsure at that moment which was good so I could try to talk him down instead of doing something dangerous. I yelled, "LAPD! Put down the gun."

"Chloe get back!" unaware to me that Dan was near me as he held up his gun too at the killer while he loudly whispered to me instructing me that I should let him take the lead.

"No! They need to know. He's a homewrecker" Ron's voice became more sorrowful, "He slept with my wife!"

Jed finally realised the face of the woman and excused himself, "It was just one night"

"One magical night!" that idiot Karnalgirl506 added for no reason. In any case, she was only making things worse, if anything happens to Je or to anyone I would slap that stupid woman in the face.

"I didn't even know she was married. She didn't say anything" Jed tried to defend himself.

"You don't need to do this, Ron" I tried to persuade the killer. I knew he was broken by losing his lover so it could offer me a chance to squeeze through the cracks and manipulate his decisions.

"Yes, I do. She broke my heart. I messed up with the other DJ, and then with the explosion. I'm not gonna screw up this time" shame and envy were already consuming him quickly as Ron was getting his hands steady and his aiming balance directed at Jed's face.

"Ron, you don't have to kill him? He's done nothing wrong" I tried to reason, trying to make Ron see that it's not Jed's fault for his wife to cheat.

"I wanted her back. I loved her" Jed stare back at his wife and she and others noticed the growing pain in his eyes. Until that sorrowful feeling transformed into a more hateful tone when Ron faces Jed again, "But, she left me for this stupid, hot, charitable DJ."

"Ron, listen to me. Just listen to me. I know how you feel. I really do" my words almost hooked Ron's attention as his eyes twitched to the side but Ron still kept his focus on Jed. I took a step forward, much to Dan's approval, so I could gain more of the killer's attention and Jed could be out of harm's way.

"I understand what it feels like when you had someone, someone that you love, someone who you truly devoted to. But, then…" I stopped midway as a large lump formed in the centre of my throat while memories of Lucifer came flooding into my mind causing some bitter tears to raise up by the corners of my eyes. I didn't think I had to stomach to speak about my feelings nor to confront the fears that have been twisting my heart since. Subsequently, my voice was breaking down, "They disappeared on you. Like, they don't want anything to do with you anymore."

"But, she's still here, isn't she? If she didn't love you anymore, she would have been a long gone, forever, out of your life, but she stayed" my mouth talks about the killer's wife, however the words were spoken from my torn heart. My shattering words finally hit Ron hard, as well as the others in the room, and melted his face with sorrow.

I knew Lucifer has been ignoring the pregnant topic at the beginning and did say that he doesn't want to have anything to do with the baby, yet he was still coming back. Shouldn't have raised any hope for him or me because the risk was too high and harmful to bear, because I couldn't bare to get my heart broken again. Rashly I continued talking rashly optimistically to only distract the killer, "So, maybe, there was a chance of a good life. A perfect life. With him."

After that split second, I realised that I spoke the wrong word and quickly rectified it, "Her. I mean her!"

"But Ron, don't kill someone else for her mistake. You should have just talked to each other. No matter how frustrating it gets. How it will drive you insane" Ron was in a trace with my noteworthy words. "But, at the same time, knowing you're trying and there's hope, it makes it feel… incredible."

"It is" Ron squeezed some tears out from his eyes and gradually lowers his arms yet Ron still had the gun aiming at Jed.

"But, Ron, you're not going to be able to tell her anything if we have to shoot you. So, please, put down the gun" the desperation was exposed through my shaky voice, "Put it down, Ron."

My plan was working as Ron was lowering the gun and at the right time, I eyed Jed warning him to make a run for it. Unfortunately, Ron notice Jed's escape so he raised the gun again and aimed it directly at my ex. I screamed, "No!"

Just before Dan and I could pull the trigger, a tall figure behind Ron jumped in, pulled his arm down and the figure punched Ron in the face which lead the kill to fall face-flat on the floor. At first, I was a little distracted by the unexpected attack until I shook my head back into reality and dashed over to get a close aim warning Ron that he shouldn't make witlessly moves. Next, I glanced to catch the face of the strange figure and I was hit with a shock wave, "Lucifer?"

"Sorry, I was late" he huffed.

I scanned up down his body and notice that his light-brown, three-piece suit has some sparkling glitter covering the shoulders and some parts on the front side. There were even some lines of glitter diagonally crossing over his face, especially a huge sparkly line that starts from the bottom edge of his right cheek to over his nose till it reached the top of the left side of his forehead. I questioned as my index finger circled around my face, "What's with your face?"

"Oh, some woman painted my face when I entered inside" Lucifer chuckled and when he moves his head the glitters on his face shines like tiny stars, "A bit sparkly for my taste."

"Yeah. I guess your taste can be a bit bitter" my tone was as low similar to my words was as cold as winter. I couldn't help it because I was still pissed at his abandonment and silence.

Lucifer's cheerful tone rapidly died down and his face fell into shame, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine" I sedately breathed before kneeling down and taking out my handcuffs to bind Ron's wrist together.

The killer rasped in pain as I lifted Ron up and got him moving to the centre of the room where Dan greeted me. I felt Lucifer's eyes darting at the back of my head, my head turns around and caught his stare. Part of me was thinking of arresting the killer and taking him to the police station, however I heard a tiny, hopeful voice inside my head advising me to talk to him again. I didn't want to, but I knew that it was what we need and it was what was best for both of us.

I turned back and faced Dan, "Hey, Dan, can you make the arrest?"

"Sure" Dan nodded as I handed over Ron. Dan held a tight grip on the killer's arm and his writs and just before he could walk off for the arrest, Dan asked, "Do you want me to drop you home?"

"No, I'm gonna stay for a while" I swiftly answered, before Dan's eyes glanced over my shoulder and darted at the Devil behind me.

"Really? Right after he abandoned you" short-sighted, I knew that Dan was going to say something unsupportive and discouraging. He was on the edge of arguing for me me to leave Lucifer even if he knew that I was adamant.

"Whatever happens, it's between me and him" I returned with a death stare, warning my friend to back off. I was not in the mood for Dan's distasteful attitude.

"Your call" Dan gave me an unbelievable look before walking away with Ron in front of him.

The loneliness slowly catches up with me and my ears listened to the sounds of footsteps echoing from a distance, while I peeked over to my left side and notice Jed was sitting alone, shaky, by one of those round tables at the side of the club. The thought of a single bullet could bring death closer and drown you lifelessly was what sent a shiver of horror down Jed's spine. I walked over to Jed with a calmer look on my sweaty face, yet I gazed down at him disquietly, "Jed, you okay?"

"Yeah" he nodded while his body was still trembling in panic, but Jed gave an appreciated smile, "I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but... thank you for saving my life."

"I can't believe I'm going to say this, but just doing my job" I replied with a light smile in a facetious tone.

Jed was fiddling his fingers while he glanced up, "That's all it is, isn't it?"

"What do you mean?" I asked with my eyebrows narrowed.

"I'm pretty sure all that talk about 'tell them how you feel' wasn't about me" Jed pointed out as he stands up on his own two feet.

"No."

"It was about Lucifer, wasn't it?" Jed had to clearly state, "He told me you were pregnant."

"Did he?" I raised an eyebrow and gaze back at the jealous Devil behind me, growing an irritated stare theorising that Lucifer only spilt the beans so he could Jed away from me. I snarled to myself, "Jeez, I wonder why?"

"But, I would have still stuck around. Even if you were…" Jed can be sweet and amiable, especially now, because I knew that all he wants was to get us back together. However, sometimes his loveable and rich-life persona is just what it is, a persona, beneath it all Jed wouldn't have the strength or the dignity to support me in raising my baby.

"No, you wouldn't" I gently smiled at his dishonesty.

"So, what is it? That thing between you and Lucifer" Jed asked as he seems curious.

In that second, I didn't really have an answer to his question because my relationship with Lucifer was very complex and it got a bit messier since I told him about the pregnancy. And, I should be pissed at him for being around and doing dumb things like letting my ex, a targeted victim loose. After all that and despite my anger, I somehow feel slightly glee that Lucifer is still around and it was quite hard to explain my feelings, "It's quite hard to understand what Lucifer and I have because it's really…"

"I believe the word you used was incredible" Jed filled in the spaces at the end of my sentence as he repeated the same word I used before.

"I was actually going to say it's complicated" I responded while I nodded my head a little side by side. Uncontrollably, my eyes peeked again over my shoulder and glanced at Lucifer standing patiently.

"We've got ourselves into something that is so huge for him to accept, but he's still here with me" I spoke out loud not bothered if Jed or anyone heard it. But, I needed to say it to myself because if there was a tiny chance that Lucifer and I could make our relationship work again involving the baby, then I would happily take it.

"It was great to see you Cherry Jane" Jed was the first to lean forward and offered the hug, so I stepped in and we wrapped our arms around each other.

I was the first to break up the hug and created space between us and I advised with my hand gently patting his arm, "Be safe."

"If not, then it won't be long till I see you again" Jed joked and I rolled my eyes.

I watched Jed walking away towards the crowd where there were some security guards so they can secure him back home safely. After seconds of lonely silence, I held my breathe and took the first step of strolling back to Lucifer and proposed, "Can we talk? Somewhere private."

"Of course" he nodded.

Straightaway, I walk off without allowing Lucifer the chance to catch up with my speed as he stumbled before racing up to catch me. The hallways were becoming deserted since nearly all of the party crowd were leaving after that scary event giving us an easy passageway to the elevator. Soon, Lucifer and I stepped inside the empty elevator and I pressed the top button before feeling the elevator move and lifted

"You did extremely well back there" he held up a jolly grin.

"Yeah, I did" I answered shortly and sealed my lips, silently messaging him that I prefer the quietness for the time being.

---

Finally, we reached the penthouse where once the doors split up, seeing the living room was covered with light shadows and silence. I was the first one to step out and Lucifer followed behind as he gratefully provided some space between us. Lucifer didn't bother to try to get my attention as I was slightly avoiding eye contact with him, instead, Lucifer pointed towards the bedroom and announced, "I'm going to get change."

"Okay" I watched him stroll off to the bedroom as I stood alone by the piano and the silence was my only company. I wasn't standing still for very long as I glance over to the quiet piano where the tip of my fingers gracefully touched the cool, black surface. Then in a flash all the memories came flooding back to me; the most memorable one was when Lucifer and I played our song 'Heart and Soul.'

I blissfully grinned at those happy memories until I was quickly brought back to reality and straightened up my body position, until I broke the silence, "So, were you before?"

"I was taking Jed to my brothers'. Until he ran off" Lucifer's voice echoed within the large room.

"Yeah, I notice" I chuckled in a low and sardonic tone.

I heard the devil laugh lightly until it slowly died out and the quietness was filled with awkwardness. Thinking that I was going to wait in silence up to the point where Lucifer broke the silence, "I heard what you said back there."

"You did?" I sealed my lips anxiously wishing that Lucifer never heard a word.

"Yes" he replied as I closed my eyes and deeply sigh in annoyance.

I couldn't believe that Lucifer actually heard what I said in the centre of Lux, my intentions were to save Jed but my words about accepting chances of happiness with someone you love. For me, it was about Lucifer. It was meant to be a distraction for Jed to escape from the killer's grasp, but I couldn't deny the fact that my words were secretly poured out from the depth of my aching heart. Facing the bar wall that was filled with bottles of liquid and the wall behind was shining while my ears caught Lucifer's question, "Did you mean it, detective? What you said before."

"I do" it didn't take me more than a second to answer, but I was slightly embarrassed by my honesty.

I wasn't really thinking at the time because I would have said something that shows my feelings of rage or irritation towards him. But the hopeful feelings that I have were locked away, hidden within my arching soul like seashells buried beneath golden sands, but then I let them out back at the sting.

"Lucifer, the other night. I was really pissed. Not drunk pissed, because I can't actually drink at the moment. But, I was angry and sad. And, can you blame me?" I didn't want to sound apologetic nor did I wish to hide my rage which was clearly noted in my unsteady voice. I wanted Lucifer to know how deeply hurt I was at that moment, yet, somehow, my anger was slowly dying out like a candle flame and I felt a little bit kinder in my next words. Without speaking foully, I changed to a softer tone, "The truth is… I was scared. I am still scared. I'm anxious about the future because I'm worried that you might probably not going to be in it much."

"I know you're deeply scared about the whole baby thing too. But, I think we should talk again, properly, about what we could do" I got that feeling of openness and optimism repeated itself again since my speech back down in Lux. I remembered what Maze told me earlier today how Lucifer was one of those people who prefer not to have kids. In my head, I reminded myself not to act offensive or say something inappropriate because it is Lucifer's choice about his involvement with the pregnancy.

Unknown to me, the tall and dark figure crept out from the bedroom and silently glided his way towards me like a green snake slithering through tall grass. I was still distracted by my thoughts and continued, "Because, there was a part of me that still wants this to work. Wants you to be with me."

"Really?" he asked in a whisper as I felt Lucifer's presence close behind. His huge hands mildly rubbed over my shoulders.

"Yeah" his touch was cold yet I lean back to feel the texture of his chest while Lucifer positioned the bottom of his chin by the edge of my ear. Sensing his warm breathe blew some chills down my spine as I remember how much I missed being so close to Lucifer. I resumed, "I want you to be with me. Because, I know you'll be a good dad one day. You may not know it. But I do because I still believe in us."

"That is really insightful, detective. So sweet" Lucifer mumbled against my ear like sweet nothings, I felt safe and warm again in his welcoming arms, until, "It is a shame though, that Lucifer didn't get the chance to hear that."

Those last cold words send a winter chill down my spine which paralyzes my entire body. My muscles were frozen as ice cubes and a small, poisonous knife of fear has stabbed deeply into my fast-beating heart. My widened eyes were filled with so much terror like I was one of those horror film characters who walked into a scene where I was destined for a tragic end.

After that frightening moment, I broke free from his icy grips and pushed myself away from the imposter behind me. My hands reached forwards to grab the edge of the bar wall and I twisted my body around to face the creepy pretender and breathlessly hissed, "Michael!"

"Ding! Ding! You are correct" his American accent reappear through his sinful smile that rapidly grew on his pale face. My eyes swiftly scanned up and down his body and now I could see through his adroitness disguise.

"Oh, you creep!" I grunted in disgust.

"Well, I must admit the suit did most of the cover-up. But this" Michael licked the tip of his fingers and unhurriedly rubbed off the glitter from his face, revealing a long and deep scar that marked across his face.

I don't know why I was surprised because I remembered on the night of Lucifer's return, he told me that he scarred Michael to make sure that his twin brother won't impersonate him anymore. It was like seeing a new kind of atrocious villain right in my eyes, born of pure evil and instantly corruption, and just the sight of Michael eerily uplifts fear that crawls beneath my skin. Michael creepily smirked, "This would have definitely blown my cover."

"You sick bastard!" without a second thought, I pulled out my gun away and aimed it directly at the eerie angel and aggressively growled, "Get out!"

Michael grew an amused smile, "Now, Chloe, you know bullets can't kill me…"

He was quickly interrupted when my finger pulled the trigger and the bullets flew off and hit at his chest area, specifically near his right shoulder since Michael feels more hurt around that body part.

"Alright. Alright!" the dark angel shouted and I stopped yet I kept a keen eye on his movements so Michael doesn't do anything unpredictable like last time when he had a tight grip around my neck. My finger was steadily tightened around the trigger while Michael raised his clear hands up in the air, "Look, I'm not here for a fight or anything."

"Then, why are you here?" I questioned. Truthfully, I didn't really want to be near that diabolical creep and wished for Michael to be away from me as possible however my curiosity got the better of me.

"Well, I know last time we meet it was a… rough night, for the both of us" his first words made me raise an eyebrow thinking 'No shit, Sherlock' while Michael continued, "And, I know that you are feeling prettier lonely and helpless at the moment."

"You better not go down where I think you're going" I remembered how Michael nearly persuaded me into sleeping with him while he was pretending to be Lucifer. Listening to his menacing words now kind of sounded like Michael was heading down that road again.

"I'm here with an offer" Michael stated while holding his innocent hands out a metre from his head.

I was taken aback by his unexpected words and sardonically barked, "What can you possibly offer me? An apology? Because it's a bit too late for that."

"I want to offer you some peace. I can offer you no interferences" Michael explained yet I was still completely baffled by his offer.

His words continuously puzzled me, "I don't understand."

"I will leave you and the…" his dark eyes darted to my belly while struggling to find the words to describe my baby, I could see the hatred in Michael's amoral eyes, "Little cross-breed child, alone. And, I can make sure that my other siblings will do the same thing."

"What's the catch?" he could hear my fear increasing through my shaking voice. Michael's words were tempting yet I didn't believe in his promise, thinking the angel set out a cold hook to catch and lure me into something worse or dangerous.

"Oh, it's simple really. You just have to do one tiny thing for me" Michael took a step closer and raised his index finger, glued his stare on my face as the dark angel gave a promising look.

His small step hit my nerves and increased my fear, but I still held a brave face and kept a steady hand with my gun pointing at the dark archangel. I asked, "And, what is that?"

Standing in a condescending position and an excited yet sinister smile grew on Michael's face as he sneered, "Get Lucifer back to Hell."

"What?" I gasped as I was struck by his repugnant offer.

"It's easy, really. You use your seductive skills to persuade Lucifer to go back to Hell like the good, little devil he is" Michael started analysing his gnarly proposal as his fingers spread out and pointed directly at my body, "And in return, I promise you will never see me come near you ever again, and the little thing inside of you. And, I will happily persuade my siblings to do the same."

"So, you want me to choose either Lucifer's life or the baby's?" I choked in agitate. His twisted words were knotting my stomach tightly and pulling it hard like it was a rope for tug of war, making me feel greatly sick.

"Well, I don't think it will quite difficult for you since it is your offspring" Michael commenced walking towards the bar wall. Thankfully, he was keeping himself a long distance as Michael circled around me and ended up on the other side of the bar. Michael opened up a crystal glass bottle of crystal vodka and poured himself a glass, "And, Lucifer isn't really worth it, now is he?"

"I can't choose" I shook my head in denial as I sounded insulted, "Lucifer has just got out of Hell and you want me to get him back to that awful place."

"My brother has already been down there for so long, he's already used to Hell" Michael eloquently excused before he took a sip which made my jaw drop slightly, "Not to mention the fact, you were going to do it at one point. With Father Kinley."

Within a second, my mind was flooded with those awful memories when Father Kinley and his psycho priests kidnapped me and tried to brainwash me into believing that Lucifer, the Devil, who was told to be evil incarnated. I remembered the pain and the trauma I went through after Father Kinley forced me to learn the real truth about Lucifer. Those dreadful memories almost made my eyes watery, but I deeply exhaled so I won't release any tears and calmly quarrelled, "I was manipulated back then, and I never really wanted to."

"But, do you really think he'll protect you and the cross-breed bastard? I mean he wasn't even there at the beginning, in fact, he wasn't there tonight. So, what makes you think he'll be there for you in the future?" Michael debated ominously. I wanted to argue back but the way Michael spoke in a reasonable tone decreased my confidence.

"I heard your voice mails. I felt your rage and depression. I think that you know deep down, detective, that Lucifer will never be there for you or for his bastard child in this fantasy future you think of" Michael took out his phone from the inside pocket of his jacket, realising that son of a bitch probably stole Lucifer's phone and listened to my voice mails. I forgot how many voice mails I've left for Lucifer, but I evoked speaking some loud and furious words for the Devil to listen to.

"He'll leave again and again and again. Why? Because, that's what Lucifer Morningstar does" Michael's speech was like pouring a bag of salt over a damaged wound. "Like the ocean waves, he comes in. But, soon he always goes back away. And, repeatedly, he will just break your heart and you will be hopelessly alone with an unwanted bastard."

There was nothing to say, even if I had something to argue strongly but they were frozen like a large lump was stuck in the centre of my throat. Michael's malicious words blurred my vision and vociferously made me imagine my future of broken promises and tiered-up hearts, all because of Lucifer. My heart was sinking deep into the darkest pit along with my faith

"I don't believe you. Because if Lucifer never cared, he would have never come back to me."

"Maybe my brother didn't the thought of sharing his toys with his bastard child" Michael brutishly answered in an uncaring tone. Straightaway, my finger pulled the trigger and shot that swine in the right shoulder again resulting in Michael dropping the glass of vodka and crying in pain, "Ouch!"

"Stop calling that!" I furiously roared while my finger tightened around the trigger once more, ready to pull it again and shot the foul angel. Michael's hand gently whipped over the area in his right shoulder where I shot him and was expecting the angel to complain. Instead, Michael grew another sinful smile as the next thing he was about the say would be loathsome to my ears.

"Alright, how about… abomination?" Michael heinously mocked with a petrified sneer as the dark angel was enjoying the view of me getting enraged as it was painfully obviously expressed pleasantly on his face, "The devil's child, imagine what the world would do if they ever knew."

"You gave me an offer and I decline. So, you could just stick that offer up your ass and go" I replied, my courage and confidence building by the sound of my voice. Michael was trying to scare me about the disasters that my child might face in his future life if the world knew that my bad is the Devil's child. Yet, I remembered that that's his thing, Michael triggers people's fears and uses them to break people down. But, not me, not this time.

"Get out!" I repeatedly roared my order again.

I swear on my life that I won't let my guard down whenever I'm in the presence of that psycho angel, so Michael wouldn't try to attack me again. Howbeit, Michael stood still in a silent and scary way where I couldn't read his pale face or what going's on in his mind. Not sure if I should feel fortunate that Michael wasn't doing anything dangerous at that moment or anxiously sceptical about how his quietness.

Until the room became colder when Michael returned with an amused grin and started walking away. I kept my focus on the dark angel waiting for Michael to make an unexpected attack yet Michael continued marching past the open glass doors to the empty balcony. Uncontrollably, my feet became moving as I was stalking behind and ended up standing by the brown couch in the living room. Michael stopped by the clear glass barrier by a metre and slowly spin himself around to face me and that eerie smile was still stuck on his face.

"Remember, detective, I did warn you" his last words blew a winter chill down my spine. Michael unfolded his black wings that matches the dark colour of the night as well as his wicked personality. After a rapid flap of his large wings, Michael straightaway took himself off the balcony floor and disappeared from my view.

At first, I deeply sigh in relief now that the bastard was finally gone as I ambled towards the brown couch and crashed my backside on the soft surface in a sitting position. My head fell into my sweaty palms while my fingers softly began rubbing the sides of my overheating forehead. I was getting my breathing under control, but my panicky mind was haunted by Michael's threatening words.

Doubts and worries started flooding in my exhausted head and weighing down my aching muscles to sink further into the leather couch. It doesn't help the fact that my twisted stomach and my face were painted in a sickly pale colour, it was all almost making me feel like I was about to faint. Part of me was proud of how I stood up against a celestial threat for the safety of my unborn baby, yet another part of me was uncertain about my brave decision.

I was terrorized by Michael once with his hand around my neck, and just a minute ago Michael just offered me never to come to go near me or my baby and he could make his siblings do the same. At that moment, all I wanted was to piss off Michael because I wasn't going to take his delusional deal. Looking back now at my quick reaction, a guilty conscience implant inside my head was telling me that I didn't think rationally about that offer. Yes, I was standing for Lucifer but stupidly, my main concern should be focused on the baby's life.

---

Time flew by faster than I expected as it came to a point where my bushwhacked head is resting on the top edge of the leather couch. My fingers were fitted in between each other as my hands laid upon my slightly round belly. My wet eyes were nearly half closed persuading me to fall asleep until a loud BING noise echoed in my ears which lifted my tired head.

I raised my head from the couch and watched the elevator doors slit apart and the Devil himself exited with his eyes wandering down on the floor. Until he brought his gaze and Lucifer stopped moving when he spotted me in the living room, and instantly I stood up. Lucifer's face melted in shock, "Detective? Hello."

"Hey" I replied while my half-wet eyes scanned Lucifer's body checking this isn't Michael playing dressed up again. At the same time, I rapidly wipe off the dried-up tear marks beneath my eyes and on my cheeks.

"Sorry, I um…" Lucifer picked up the feeling in his legs again as he start walking toward me, "I've somehow lost my phone and didn't get to the sting."

"Don't worry about that now. We already caught the killer" I explained.

"Now, that you are here" Lucifer rapidly wiped the palm of his hands over the sharp edges of his suit blazer and straighten his upper body up to act like a gentleman. In a sedate and serious approach, Lucifer started, "I want to apologise for my behaviour. And I need you to hear…"

His last words didn't escape through his lips as Lucifers' wondering eyes spotted his phone on the small island by the brown couch. Perplexed, Lucifer picked up his phone and looks at me with a questionable stare, "How did my phone get here?"

I didn't want Lucifer to worry but I knew I couldn't hide the fact that his psycho brother came around to see me, therefore I revealed, "Michael was here."

"What?" Lucifer gasped as he rushed over closer to me with deep concerns in his brown eyes, his voice changed into a much darker tone filled with rage, "What happened? What did he do to you?"

"He did nothing. He just came over" I answer quickly so Lucifer wouldn't panic over anything.

"That bastard!" Lucifer hissed in fury while his anxious eyes scanned my body checking if I was, psychically, okay.

"He disguised himself as you, covered his scar across his face. But he didn't hurt me" I informed him about Michael acting as his twin brother again, yet Michael didn't threaten me, psychically, like before. However, Michael's visit always brings a winter's chill to any room and a touch of fear to my beating heart. I added, "He just wanted to offer me a deal."

"What deal?" Lucifer questioned.

I felt the heaviness of hiding Michael's secret deal weighing on my chest, knowing how Lucifer despises lies and I don't want to lie to him about the deal. Just the thought of it was making my legs slightly wobblingly so I sat myself down on the brown couch with Lucifer sitting beside me as his face was still painted with bafflement. One way or another, I knew I had to set the truth free and explain it to him.

"He said that he wouldn't come near me or the baby ever again, if I…" the words were stuck in my mouth because I didn't want the pessimism look painted over Lucifer's face if he thinks that I would rather choose the baby's life over his.

"If you what?" Lucifer felt unsettled already, afraid of my fear.

I deeply exhaled in the cool air while feeling my heart and slowly revealed, "If I could somehow persuade you to go back to Hell."

Repelled, Lucifer was taken aback by Michael's deal, yet he didn't look flabbergasted that his brother would do something like that. He could see the temptation imprinted in my eyes that I developed from the deal, but Lucifer didn't seem offended and sedately asked, "And, what did you say?"

"I said he could shove that offer up his ass" my answer made Lucifer respond in a delightful, small laugh and I couldn't help but smirk as well.

"Would have loved to see his reaction" Lucifer lightly cackled, "Good on you, Detective."

"Maybe" I whispered as I sound half proud of myself yet half displeased because after theorising now that perhaps I was too crass to think hard on the deal if I want to protect my baby.

God knows I love Lucifer and would do anything to make sure that he stays with me and get him away from Hell. Fact, I have been praying and crying for Lucifer to come home, and dream of him falling back in my arms as I wish never to let him go. However, a part of me was pissed that I wasn't thinking much about the safety of my child, like listening to a strict teacher lecturing me on my mistakes. If Michael could come down on Earth to hurt either me or my baby, then any other psycho angel or demon could do the same.

Lucifer could see every little worrying thought that's on my face is written on my pale face and my fear of Michael's threats. I felt his warm hand covering mine which draw my attention to his face as we locked eyes. Lucifer's voice became as gentle as tripping honey as it helps me decrease my anxiousness, "Detective, I hope you know that I would never let Michael go near you or the child."

"I know" I grew a small smile, hoping that Lucifer still knows that I trust him with my life.

"Lucifer, about the other night. I didn't mean to yell and…"

"Detective, wait" Lucifer softly interrupted in, "Your right, from before, that it was wrong of me to ignore the chance of talking about the pregnancy."

Now, it was my turn who cut in at the right time, because I didn't Lucifer to feel too guilty if he was feeling pressured about having this baby. I evoked what Maze reminded me earlier that most people are entitled to decide whether they want kids or not, and Lucifer has every right as anyone to make that decision. Therefore, I wanted Lucifer to know that and that I was okay with it, "Yeah, but Lucifer, for the last few months I just assumed that perhaps you would instantly accept it. The baby I mean, but I should have remembered that you still have feelings for your own needs and wants. Because I know that most people don't want kids and I should have just accepted that and…"

A weird scent caught my nose's attention and I sniffed out more of that strange smell and, strange enough, it was coming from the top side of Lucifer's shoulder. I responded with a cringed look, "What's that smell on your suit?"

"Oh, it must be milk" Lucifer answered.

I narrowed my puzzled eyes, "Milk?"

"Yes, I was at Amenadiel's home and that little urchin of his can be fussy" he replied while he firmly swiped over the very right side of his chest.

"Why?" I asked.

"Well, in order to understand the aspect of parenthood, I thought that perhaps helping my brother with Baby Charlie might give me an insight into what I should do when the baby arrives" Lucifer confessed.

I blinked multiple times in that second thinking I was meeting another doubleganger-like Lucifer with an alternative personality. But, I was still stunned by the Devil's truthfully words, "So, all that time when you weren't here, you were just learning about parenting."

"Yes, I suppose so" Lucifer proudly nodded.

"Oh Lucifer" my heart sank deep into an ocean of bliss and my eyes were dreamily lit. This evening, I thought Lucifer was perhaps avoiding me and the possibility of us talking again about the baby situation. But, acknowledging now that Lucifer spent today's evening at his brother's house learning about parenting proves to me how wrong my fears were and how it proves that Lucifer's unexpected motives never ceases to amaze me.

A small smile formed on the Devil's face until distress was soon tattooed on his face, Lucifer's eyes looked in shame and his voice became low and melted in chagrin as he spoke softly, "Detective, after our fight, I visited Dr. Linda and we talked. And, she helped me to come to knowledge about my true agitation."

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"I think, this whole time when you told me about the pregnancy, I don't think I was worried about a having child… I think, mostly, I was scared of being a father" Lucifer paused so he exhaled a deep breathe in like a large lump was moulded in the centre of his throat or like a snake coiling tightly around his lungs. Lucifer telling me his true fearful feelings made my heart sink more in sorrow and my face fell into despair, before he continued, "Because, well as you know, I didn't have a very good father in my early time."

"Wait, Lucifer. Do you think you might end up like your dad?" I asked as I couldn't tell if Lucifer's words were filled with lies and he was talking claptrap, but we both that Lucifer always speak true.

"I don't know… Perhaps, deep down, I am very terrified that I might be repeating the same things that my father did to me" Lucifer theorised integrity with a hopeless smile as though Lucifer already predicted that he will be a cruel dad to his child like his own.

Feeling ashamed for exposing his fear as it was clearly painted on his face, while I was deeply shocked that Lucifer actually believed in his own words. After learning from how Lucifer described his childhood and what his father, God, was really like; from neglecting his own family to banishing his own son to a torturous place. Now, I could see through the deep cracks in his soul that were bleeding with Lucifer's fear of repeating his father's sin.

"Lucifer, look at me" the tip of my fingers stroked underneath his chin and gently lifted Lucifer's head so I could gaze into his brown eyes which were deluged with the stigma. Once we locked eyes and I knew that I've gained his full attention, I felt the remorse swirling in the centre of his anxious eyes. My voice was soft as the calm sea and whispered, "You are not your dad. You are so much more. You are the best man I've ever known and you need to know that too."

Lucifer sprouted a believable grin as I can see through his wondering eyes, Lucifer was working out how I still got so faith in him. My left hand from beneath his chin travelled to the side of the Devil's handsome face and my fingers felt his soft skin glowing underneath my fingernails. Meanwhile, my other hand coasted over to my rounded belly, "And, this baby will love you so much for being a good dad."

"But, how do you know that, Detective?" I know Lucifer didn't wish to challenge how much faith I had in him, however the Devil held a very sceptical look.

"Because I do" I eyed down at my belly before I face Lucifer again with a positive grin, "I just get a gut feeling."

"Wouldn't that just the baby inside of you?" Lucifer replied in an obvious tone and pointed his finger towards my belly. I lightly giggled at his confusion before reality hit me right back, the memory of our fight, weeks ago, was being replayed back in my mind.

I remembered that night when we hostilely argued and Lucifer told me that he doesn't wish to be involved with the baby nor wish to become a parent himself. Now hearing that Lucifer is learning the aspects of parenting, and while I appreciated how ambiguous Lucifer wants to stay and try to be a parent, I do however think that Lucifer still doesn't understand the whole package deal of parenting. My concerned eyes focused on Lucifer and my serious voice returned, "But, Lucifer, are you absolutely sure, you want to do this? Raising the baby. Because I know that not everyone wants to be a parent, and I understand that it's your choice."

"Well, I believe I did an exquisite job on managing my nephew, and I have gained the likes of your urchin, so how hard can it be to raise my own?" Lucifer cheerfully replied as he already felt confident in this parenting job. I silently huffed to myself realising that Lucifer doesn't exactly have a clear how hard parenting is in the long run.

"But Lucifer, that was just for one night. Babies are a lot of hard work for over months and so on" I warned him, yet Lucifer couldn't visually see the full picture.

"It's nothing that I can't handle" Lucifer denied in an unequivocal tone, yet the poor Devil still didn't get my message.

"The baby is going to cry" I tried to explain with one of the most important points that involve raising a baby. Every new parent must know that babies can cry at high volume and for hours day after day and night after night.

"So? I've seen you cry. What would be the difference?" Lucifer's words evoked memories of the times when I cried; such as the time Lucifer was about to fly down to Hell to rule the demons again and I remember begging him to leave me. However, there was a huge difference between an average human crying and the times when that babies cry.

"But, the baby will cry like every night" I added because Lucifer was still not getting the bigger picture.

"You know angels don't always need their sleep so I'm happy to be up all night" he sweetly suggested with a sugary smile.

I carried on, "It's going to be fussy with food."

"Aren't we all?" Lucifer expanded his arms.

"It's going shit a lot!" I spelt it loud the massive and dirtiest job in parenting.

"Don't all humans" Lucifer excused and all I could do was roll my eyes miffed that Lucifer still couldn't understand.

"But, what about all your free time out? Partying? Drinking at Lux? A baby will take up most of your personal time. Even our own personal time" I clarified all the details about our future.

I know that Lucifer enjoys working at Lux and drinking there on musical nights, but mostly he enjoyed our time together on dates and passionate nights. Having a baby in the first few months will definitely take up most of our time; especially our sex time. Therefore, I don't want Lucifer to walk into a misty situation where it would be hard for him to get out of.

Lucifer could see my worries pouring out of my mouth, so he comforted me by reaching his hand forward and covering his palm over mine. Feeling his warmth through his hand did eventually diminishes parts of my worries as Lucifer started with such sentimental words that will melt my heart, "Detective, I was in Hell for thousands of years, and those were the worst years of my life because I didn't have my detective by my side."

"At that time, I wouldn't care about the sex, well I sort of do…" he grew a smirk which made me chuckle and rolled my eyes, "But, all I wanted was to just see your face, watch you smile, hear your voice, even your loud snoring."

I giggled at kind and funny words, God knows how much I missed his sarcasm, while Lucifer continued, "Even just a minute of us hugging would have been enough for me."

"If I must wait for a few months or more, then you'll hear no complaints from me" the sound of his promising voice started to raise some hopes and made my heart sink in euphoria.

This year's love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own too long

"Really?" I asked, not because I didn't trust his words straightaway, but because it all seem too real to be true. Like I was living in one of those fantasy dreams.

"I'll be there every step of the way" he promises. I felt the warmth from Lucifer's hopeful eyes staring at mine and also from his left hand that covers my right hand.

Pulled my body forward and coiled my arms around his neck as Lucifer wrapped his arms around my back. Closed my eyes in relief because I still couldn't believe that this was happening, that Lucifer was willing to give this new life with me and the baby a chance. I understood that he was nervous was being a father, but I was nervous about raising a half-angel baby. But together, we will work through this together as a couple.

Turning circles and time again
Cut like a knife oh now
If you love me got to know for sure

"I love you" I whispered the sacred words to his ear.

"I love you, too" Lucifer muttered the same words before he leaned in and placed a soft kiss beneath the ear.

"I've missed everything about you. I've missed your smile" Lucifer whispered after softly stroking his lips across my jawline to kiss the left edge of my jaw. My tongue was secretly circling in small circles on the inner side of my teeth, feeling the temptation of attacking his mouth and softly biting on his lips.

"Your voice" the devil seductively danced his fingers over the sweet spots on my neck, which sends sparkles of ecstasy and bliss down my neck and throughout my entire body.

"Your hands" he lifted up my left hand as I felt Lucifer's warm lips pressed against my knuckles. At that second, I couldn't resist his charming kisses and eventually fell for the Devil's sexy touch.

"Oh, come here" I demanded in a quiet breathe while my hands reached up and clutched the sides of Lucifer's head to pull him closer and attached his lips to mine.

Straightaway, I was melted in his touch and Lucifer didn't fight off but instead deeper our kiss. It wasn't before long when we opened our mouths wide enough, so I breathe in his intoxicating air. Lucifer plunged his wet tongue through my wide mouth and swirled it around mine like two tangled jungle vines. I felt his huge hands wrapped behind my head and his sly fingers coiling through my blonde hair pushing our heads even closer.

'Cause it takes something more this time

Than sweet, sweet lies oh now

Before I open up my arms and fall

Losing all control

Every dream inside my soul

Raised my body higher so I could swing my left leg over his lap until I was sitting on top of him, reminded me of the first dirty dream I had of Lucifer and me in that same position except with no Devil horns. My hands slide through Lucifer's suit blazer over his well-built chest and over his shoulders, intentionally wanting to pull his suit off and see the Devil in less clothing. Lucifer pushed himself forward as though he read my mind, allowing my fingers to tenaciously grip the posh and lavish fabrics and pulled the blazer through his arms and carelessly threw it on the other side of the leather sofa.

"Bedroom. Now" I loudly moaned in a demanding tone after departing my wet lips from his. Desired to be in a comfortable position, in a cosy place where my hands could freely explore parts of Lucifer's hot body.

"As you wish, detective" he seductively purred with an agreeable grin.

When you kiss me on that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?"

Lucifer's hands gently glanced down my spine giving me a tingle of shivery from the top of my back to the aching core that quakes between my legs. I felt his fingers gently gripped on the corners of my ass as Lucifer slightly pulled my hips nearer to his. Lucifer gave me a gentle squeeze on my ass before Lucifer swiftly stood up while holding me up which brought my upper body closer to his. Hurriedly, Lucifer strolled towards the bedroom meanwhile my hands were exploring his naked neck and my wide mouth was swallowing on his lips and consuming his intoxicating air.

Step after step, Lucifer strolled through the bedroom until we reach the empty, king-size bed that was lightened by two, big, circular lamps on each side of the bedside tables. Covered over in golden sheets with a black cover on top. Lucifer stopped by the bottom of the bed as the Devil kneed down and leisurely lowed me down with one hand holding onto the side of my hip and the other securing the centre of my back until my entire body was laid on the soft, black mattress. My head was settled in the centre between two golden pillows while Lucifer still glued his lips to mine where he was digging his tongue deeper into my mouth. Not that I was complaining because then I was getting more of that delicious taste from the Devil himself that would be dripping down my throat.

My fingers scooped down below his chest and aggressively began unpicking the buttons on his shirt, desperately wanting to feel more of his hot skin. However, it didn't seem that I was getting the job done fast enough, I looked irritated when I realise that I have only unbuttoned his shirt halfway and I growled, "How many fucking buttons are on this shirt?"

"My, aren't you desperate" Lucifer's laughter lightly vibrated at my irritation as he lifted himself a bit more, giving my hand more space to reach down and undo the rest of the buttons.

Once I have completed unbuttoning his shirt, I glanced up at the husband Devil and commanded in a low animalistic growl, "Take off your shirt."

The Devil wasted no time to raise up as Lucifer took off his shirt revealing his well-structured body. I was staring up at Lucifer like I was standing in front of a masterpiece of art that was designed in all perfection. My dreamy eyes were glued to his angelic body and felt some sweet wetness gushing out from my vagina. Lucifer notices my lustful stare and he endearingly smirked, "Like what you see?"

"Oh yeah" I grinned from ear to ear.

This year's love had better last.
This year's love had better last.

Lucifer delightfully chuckled when he lowered down his divine body on top of mine again and my arms reached out to coil around his naked neck while we reconnect our wet lips. His moans became louder when he felt my fingers brushing over his muscular chest down to the bottom of his abdomen, I proudly smirked at how my gentle touch was making the Devil react this way. My fingers got hold of his black belt which sends a tingle of excitement through Lucifer's body. Well, until Lucifer suddenly did this.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait" Lucifer broke our soggy kiss and pulled his lips away from mine, leaving me to feel deeply baffled.

"What? Wha-what's wrong?" I gasped half-frustrated that Lucifer stopped midway while I was getting highly aroused.

"Well, if we continue, I might hurt you or the baby" he darted his stare to my belly before glancing back at me with a worried look. I grinned appreciating how Lucifer was disquieted and courteous about my and the baby's well-being because I know Lucifer can perform some powerful thrusts during our passionate sex.

"Oh, you won't" I mumbled as my hand reached up and stroked his cheek, my warm touch diminishes his stress and worries, "Having sex won't affect the baby or me."

"Really?" a wicked smirk replaced his worries which made me giggle in excitement.

Without a sec thought, Lucifer dipped his wet tongue back into my mouth and started twisting it around with mine. His wet lips were slipping off from my mouth to the edges of my jaw and down to the deep corners of my neck. Lucifer starts sucking on the sweet spots on my neck, forcing me to widen my mouth and gasped loudly for air and moan for more of his hot touch. My nails were gently scratching from the centre of his back down to the sides of his hips.

"Now, I could see that you missed this as much as I have" Lucifer mumbled his warm breathe against my sensitive skin.

"You have no idea" I groaned in a thirst for more of Lucifer's touch when he started to softly nibble near my sweet spots. His guileful fingers swoop under the hem of my blue leopard print shirt and gradually pull my shirt over my chest and then my head, while I lifted my upper body up so my shirt can slip out entirely and for Lucifer to fling it to the side of the bed.

Now, I'm laid down wearing nothing on my chest except for my red bra which hypnotises Lucifer in a trance "You know red is my favourite colour."

"I know" I smirked.

"Well, maybe now I can show you how much missing you has been driving me crazy" Lucifer seductively suggested as he start slithering down my chest until I felt his soggy kisses being placed in between my breast.

The tip of his fingers stroked down over my ribcage and down beneath my shadowy back where Lucifer carefully undo my bra and toss it to the side. Shivering from the cool air engulfing over my bare skin until I felt the flames from Lucifer's touch as he continued kissing down my chest. Lucifer's large hands raised up higher above his head and began massaging my breasts.

"Oh! Lucifer…" I blissfully howled feeling him squeezing all the sides of my breasts. Lucifer knows all the right places to touch as a result of me moaning his name.

Meanwhile, my hands slither down passing his hands and end at the top of his head where my fingers fiddle with Lucifer's black hair. His fiery touch bloomed a warm passion that was flaming within my belly, and it wasn't the baby or anything like that, but it was that twisted desire that makes me anxious but also makes me craze for more delights.

"Lucifer… Hurry up" I groaned, desperate for his warm lips to be placed somewhere further down.

"Patience love" he chuckled, I wanted to argue back but I could imagine Lucifer would compare the long times that we had spent without each other; for me, it was only for only a few months, but for Lucifer it has been thousands of years.

Dragging his fiery kisses further down my body as my stomach was already filling up with butterflies. It became more overwhelming when I felt his fingers slip in and hooked themselves on the edges of my jeans and panties and began, ever so slowly, pulling them down. Feeling the cool air touching my skin from the top of my thigh, down my leg, to the bottom tip of my toes. It was much cooler down in the centre between my legs.

I felt the weight of the bed being shifted when Lucifer cautiously crawled back over my legs like a graceful cat while his finger elegantly waved over the sides of my thighs. The Devil glanced over the tiny round bump on my stomach and breathed in a low, concerning voice, "Detective, you sure about this?"

"Lucifer, don't you dare make me wait for another second" I impatiently replied as I was on the edge of begging Lucifer to start before my womb becomes too overheated with deep salacity.

"What my detective desires, is what she gets" Lucifer licked his lips and revealed a proud smirk when he heard how needy I've become as he noticed when I ache my back and wiggled my hips. Begging for him to carry on as I tried to lean my hips closer to his face in hopes to tempt the Devil to get down to it. Lucifer wasted no time and dipped his head in between my legs.

"Lucifer!" his name escaped through my gasping lips as I already sounded so breathless at that moment while Lucifer instantly plunged his tongue through the folders and started sucking the juicy wetness.

His snakelike arms coiled beneath my high thighs so Lucifer could easily widen my legs while hands ended by the sides of my hips, holding them in place upon the silky, black mattress. I was flattered listening to his deep moans as though he was eating a delicious dessert while hearing his noises blended with the pleasant sounds of his mouth sucking on my wetness. Couldn't help but groan along in delight, feeling his warm tongue twirling around inside of me. His slimy tongue was big and long to push further deep while slightly stretching my walls and already touching the G-Spot.

"Chloe" Lucifer softly whispered my name like he was worshipping a goddess. Hearing my soft cries and howling out his names was just sweet music to Lucifer's ears which encourages him to lick deeper and suck harder on my vagina. My moans became louder when I was feeling an orgasm coming, and Lucifer could sense it too and mumbled, "Cum for me, Chloe."

I couldn't hold it in any longer and let that orgasm burst like a huge firework exploring with bright colours. My body was inundated with the flames of hellfire and melting into the mattress while I was breathing heavily. The sweet fluid was leaking over the outer labia walls and Lucifer was trying to catch every drop in his half-full mouth. Licking his lips to taste some of my wetness that stains the edges of his mouth as Lucifer deliciously moaned when he received more of my sweet taste.

"You taste better than anything. Can't get enough of you, my darling" he blew his hot air into my core, making me wiggle and whine, "So delicious."

"Oh damn!" his ravishing intentions of teasing me magically paralysed my singeing body.

Steadily, Lucifer slithered up over my body as his chest slightly rub across my skin till he stopped when his face was above mine and there was an inch gap between our noses. We both stopped for a moment, with no movement, no speaking, just facing each other while feeling our warm airs breathing upon our lips. Our gazes were locked and we were lost in our own dreams, I could feel Lucifer's heart thumping against his chest as fast as a beating drum similar to mine. Lucifer was still a bit anxious about hurting me during the sex, but I could see some feeling of excitement blooming in the centre of his black pupils. I was entranced by his gorgeous brown eyes and the thought of those empty mouths between us have vanished from memory.

"I've waited so long for this. To touch you again. To feel you" Lucifer softly cooed as he lowered his head closer to mine and repeated kissing softly on the edges of my red lips.

Placed both of his hands on each side next to my shoulders so Lucifer could balance himself above me until his right hand slithered down through the small space between our inextrucablt and hot bodies until his fingers reached to the top of his black belt. I wanted to join in but then I rather let Lucifer do the work as his talented fingers did unfasten the belt faster than I could.

"Lucifer" I breathlessly whispered his name as I was already edgily excited for sex, never have I touched myself or felt tempted by any other man. Because there was only one person for me, one charming Devil who would light the flames of my soul with a mere thought. I begged Lucifer for I was sick of waiting, "I want you now, Lucifer."

"Well, I'm all yours, detective, for now and forever" he beaned as the Devil spoke in a promising tone.

Finally, Lucifer pulled his trousers and trunks down and managed to kick them off from his legs and let them fall to the floor. Once he exposed his all form of glory, I stared down at his cock and my eyes widen in surprise, I didn't know why, but looking at Lucifer's huge size again has really taken my breathe away.

"Oh my, are you shocked? Have I been gone for so long that you have forgotten the size of my glory?" Lucifer cheekily smirked when he noticed my shocked reaction.

"Oh, shut up" I huffed before binding my lips with his again with my arm wrapped around his neck and my hand dived through his black hair.

Lucifer followed my lead and plunge his tongue into my mouth already challenging himself to reach further down into my wet throat. Weighing his body lower upon mine as the Devil instructed in a silent mumble, "Open those beautiful legs of yours wider for me, love."

Following his demand, I widen my leg a little wider and I could feel Lucifer lowing his hips closer to mine and aiming his rock-hard cock towards my centre. Even the slightest contact of his cock against my wet vagina made me squirm in a need of more of his boiling touch. I could tell that Lucifer smirking at my craving reaction, but behind that sexy smug Lucifer was lustfully wanting to be inside of me. Without waiting for another second, Lucifer tenderly pushed his hips forward and I felt his cock squeezing its' way through my vagina.

"Lucifer!" I howled in bliss and squeezed my eyes as I felt the wet hymen stretching wide for Lucifer's cock to squeeze through as it was diving deeper inside till half of it was devoured. He stopped for me adjusting his huge size, feeling like I was already full up as the slight anguish was being replaced with pleasure.

"Chloe? Is it still okay?" Lucifer stayed still till he could know that I was okay with adjusting his husky cock. Disturbed that I might be in pain already, "If you want me to stop then we…"

"Shh… Lucifer" I hushed him as my two fingers delicately brush the centre of his juicy lips, I glanced up at the Devil and quietly breathed, "I'm okay. The baby is okay. I want this."

My body was already burning from the centre core by his hell-fire pleasure, like an empty hole inside of me has finally been fulfilled. It has been a while since I had sex and the last time was before Lucifer left L.A to rule Hell again. I've somewhat forgotten all the pleasure and the sex because, after Lucifer left, I have been mainly focusing on the unborn baby and trying to think less of the Devil if I was never going to see him again. There was no one in the world who could make me feel this way like I was the only woman in the world who the Devil could gratify me and make me feel so overwhelmed with pleasure.

"Now fuck me, Lucifer Morningstar" I commanded, tired of waiting and longing. I wanted him now, at that very moment.

Pleased, Lucifer smirked and started moving his hips back and tenderly trusts them back into, repeating his rotation in a steady rhythm where with every thrust his cock goes deeper inside of me. I could hear the wet, appetizing noises echoing from his hips rocking towards mine. My entire body was boiling in unholy lust as my moans were becoming louder and louder. The sweet sounds from my lips urge Lucifer to thrust faintly faster than before.

"You feel so damn good" Lucifer growled against my marked neck as the Devil started sucking seductively on my sweet spots. His large, left hand was massaging the back of my head and his fingers mingled through my blonde hair, as Lucifer whispered, "I love how you squeeze my cock."

"Oh, Lucifer… don't stop" my desperate cries merged with Lucifer's deep groaning making some sweet and horny music.

"I going to show you how much I miss you for single everyday" he deliciously vowed.

His luscious thrusts became faster and harder, yet I could sense Lucifer's indentations of holding back a bit because he still felt worried about hurting me or the unborn baby. I didn't mind though, because all I want now was him. My right hand danced over his back down to the side of his ass, wanting to pull his hips closer to mine.

"Fuck!" I hissed biting my lips as his big cock was pounding right into the G-Spot. Satisfying my body with overwhelming pleasure that burns through my muscles while Lucifer was expanding his cock further inside, as though he was approaching close to the end of my vagina. My eyes close tight and my mouth became dry gasping for air, "Ah… right there. Keep going."

My fingernails sharply scratch Lucifer's back from the centre of his centre and down over to the side of his ribcage. Making Lucifer growl like a wild animal which boosts up his speed as Lucifer rocked his hip faster than the sea waves. Lucifer's right hand was tightly gripping the black mattress while his left hand was managing my right breast making me moan loudly. The Devil quietly hissed against my skin, "That's it."

"I goanna…" I gushed breathlessly as I could feel an orgasm approaching as though Lucifer was lighting a wire to a set of fireworks ready to explode.

"Fuck Chloe" Lucifer howled my name and I could the echoes of his growls repeating themselves in the room.

"Cum inside me, Lucifer" I begged.

Gradually, Lucifers' thrusting was becoming slower but still harder when shoved himself back in while I was still squealing and screaming his name. At the end of his last thrust, Lucifer cum all inside and an orgasm exploded like fireworks blasting hundreds of sparkly colours. It felt like my entire was floating in thin air and burning up like a star expanding, while Lucifer carefully laid his muscular chest against my breast but tried to provide space for my stomach.

"Chloe" Lucifer rested his head next to mine feeling his warm breathes puffing against my red blushful cheek. Gradually, raised his head till Lucifer above my face and there was an inch gap between us. I locked my gaze with his gorgeous brown eyes as Lucifer breathlessly gasped, "You drain me dry."

"And you filled me up" I beatifically chortled.

We took a few seconds for a breather before Lucifer steadily and slowly pulled his cock out of my wet and swollen vagina. He left me open, yet I still felt completely full with his savoury cum as Lucifer's body collapsed next to me breathing half as fast as I was panting and weighing down his side of the bed. Our eyes stared up at the naked ceiling while our chest Lucifer breathlessly heaved in a deep sigh of euphoria, "That was…"

"Incredible" I ended his sentence with a satisfying smile and Lucifer reflected the same reaction.

"Couldn't describe it better" Lucifer huffed in exhaustion, "Wished we could have done this earlier."

"Me too" I nodded, wishing that all our wasteful fights and the space that was needed between us could all just vanish from our memories. Yet, after everything we've been through, it helped me to understand what we really to discuss especially the issues that we have been avoiding. Turned my head "But, I'm glad we talked."

"As do I" Lucifer grew an agreeable grin feeling the same feeling of relief, "And, you're okay now?"

"Yes. Lucifer, I'm fine. Thank you for being consumed" I purred as I haven't seen Lucifer this worried about my wellbeing before.

"It's just all new to me" He huffed.

"I know. Don't be nervous about asking me anything about the pregnancy" I advised him.

"I can always count on my detective" I loved the way Lucifer uses my nickname in his charming voice.

My mind evoked back what Lucifer said a second ago; 'Wished we could have done this earlier.' Perhaps he was right about that if I think about it, maybe if Jed wasn't involved in our case or if Lucifer wasn't so jealous. Now looking back at Lucifer's misbehaving actions were sort of similar to how Lucifer became jealous when I started dating Marcus.

'Cause who's to worry if our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on

Unexpected for Lucifer, I started to timidly laugh to myself which puzzles Lucifer, so the Devil rolled his body onto his side so Lucifer was facing me fully with a lopsided smile, "What's so funny?"

"Don't hate me for saying this, but I often forget how jealous you can be" I revealed after stopping chuckling.

"And when, may I ask, have I ever been jealous?" he didn't sound offered by my answer, yet Lucifer sedately acted like I said a dead joke.

"When Jed arrived" I indicated as it was clearly obvious.

"Oh, please! I wasn't jealous" Lucifer rapidly denied but didn't continue arguing as he notice my raised eyebrow, till he huffed to himself, "Though, I must admit I didn't like the slur leech, only because he was invading your personal space."

"But, why were you?" I asked with a bemused look, "I mean I told you that nothing would happen between me and Jed. Even if I wasn't pregnant with our own baby."

"I still didn't like him being so close to you" his confession was understandable because if we swap positions, I wouldn't really like it if a hot woman tries to get very close to Lucifer. Although, it did happen when Eve came around and that irritating woman was really taking the piss at me. However, I tried to keep my cool in the beginning before Eve went too far when she confessed that she was slightly involved with Charlie's kidnapping and that lead me into slapping her face. It felt good at that time.

"Trust me, he'll be back on his tour or something. Now, I've got you" I softly fondled the side of his face, my mellow touch made the loveable Devil adorable hum like a kitten purring when it's being stroked.

"Although, I could say the same to you when Eve was around" Lucifer replied as if he was an actual Jedi and read my mind when I was thinking of Eve.

"Oh, that was completely different" I shook my head.

Intrigued, Lucifer persuaded me in defending my point, "How so?"

"Because, and I can't believe I have to say this out loud, but you are really attractive" I started my argument in a peculiar way as it enlightens Lucifer.

"Has it taken you that long to notice, detective?" Lucifer smirked as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Lucifer, I'm used to people who flirt with you because you do attract people, but I trust you. Like when Eve came around, yes, I hated how she was seducing you but, deep down, I should trust you" I explained as I felt that same jealous feeling already boiling inside of my stomach. I quickly focus back on my point, "It's just a surprise to me that you were jealous if one guy was flirting with me."

"Well, you a sight to behold. No question about that" the charming Devil gracefully praised making me blush.

"Yeah, till I'll weigh about two stones" I raised my head off the golden pillow and my eyes rolled forward staring down my belly where there was a small bump growing on the centre. My right hand softly stroked the centre of my stomach as I pictured my belly growing bigger than it once was. The coldness on my skin straightaway melted away when the warm touch of Lucifer's hand and I felt his gentle gaze.

"You will still look like a goddess to me" Lucifer mumbled his hones words making me blush and turn my rosy cheeks more red.

Won't you kiss me in that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

His brown eyes darted down my tiny round belly and a curious look bloomed on Lucifer's face, "I've got a tiny feeling that I need to learn a lot more than just how to handle a baby."

"Yep" I nodded, smiling down at my belly and a thought came to mind, "I've also booked a scan appointment for the baby tomorrow morning. You're welcome to come if you like."

"What does that entail?" he questioned.

"Just the doctors scanning my belly to see if the baby is in good health and that everything is okay" I explained.

"Alright" an agreeable look formed on his face, at the same time a sparkle of hope bloomed in my fast drumming heart. I knew it would take Lucifer some time to absorb the whole idea of what he needed to do to be a good father.

A vast yawn escaped from my wide lips as Lucifer tilted his head and raised a cheeky eyebrow, "My, my, I must have really worn you out."

"No, it was just a busy day for me, trying to keep a suspect alive" I propounded as I gave him the usual roll of the eyes.

"Oh yes, sorry about losing Jed" he apologised as the sneaky Devil eyed me with that puppy-look stare, knowing full well that I couldn't stay annoyed with that cute look. Until, Lucifer whispered beneath his breathe, "But, if something did happen to him, it wouldn't be the worst thing."

"Lucifer!" I slapped my hand against his muscular chest. I knew that Lucifer despises Jed out of jealousy, but I found it bitter when Lucifer mentions Jed getting hurt or almost killed.

"What? I rather have him hurt than you, detective" he justified his pointless deadpan in that innocent tone of Lucifer's sweet-honey voice.

"Oh, you're such a charming, sweet Devil" the tip of my fingers reached up and gently stroked the bottom of his smooth chin with my thumb softly robbing the bottom of Lucifer's sexy lips.

"And, you're my smart, beautiful detective" Lucifer murmured as I felt his arm slithering underneath my back and gently pulling me closer to his body. I quivered his hot body skin touching mine as I rested my head upon his muscular chest.

"Oh, and detective" the way he used my name in a serious but sincerely tone caught my attention as I raised my head, locked my gaze with his and gently hummed to show that I was listening. I expected Lucifer to talk about a personal matter but in the end, a delicate smile grew on his face and released a single whisper from the soul, "I love you."

Instantly, I fell for his charming words and returned with the same smirk, "I love you too."

This year's love had better last.

Leaned forward to press my lips onto Lucifer's as I left one last kiss before I rested back on his chest and shoulder. His chest was raising and plummeting time after time, while my right ear was pressed against Lucifer's chest as I could hear the Devil's heart thumping faster than mine. The mellifluous drumming of his heart was music to my ear as it visibly proves to me that this isn't another dream. Lucifer was here, with me, in my arms once more.

I didn't pretty tired at that moment, which was a surprise, because usually when pregnant I mostly get tired so easily. However, I was still feeling up for another round as I raised my head up to face Lucifer with a desirable grin printed on my face when a naughty thought came to mind, "Now it's my turn to show how much I missed you."

Intrigued, Lucifer spread a mischief smile, "Well, now I think about it, it will be my welcome home present"

"I thought the baby would have been a welcoming gift" I pointed out.

"No, that was a… enormous surprise" Lucifer excused.

I laughed, "True."

"But, say you're right, I wouldn't argue with getting a second present" he playfully wiggled his eyebrows.

"Oh, of course, you wouldn't" I grinned before leaning in to steal a kiss from his soggy lips before I began kissing down his neck and went lower and lower…

This year's love had better last.
