It was another day at the office. Chloe was going over some paperwork when Ella walked up to say hi.

"Decker, I have the lab report you asked for."
"Thanks."

She took the folder and started flipping through it. Her phone buzzed and she pulled it out to look at the alert. Pick Up Trixie.

"Shit."
"What's wrong?"
"Um," Lucifer came bouncing down the stairs and smiled at the two women. "Oh thank, well, Lucifer I guess."

Ella made a confused face before both of them made their way over to him.

"Good afternoon Detective."
"Hi, so please don't hate me, but could you pick Trixie up from school? I totally forgot she has a half day today and I'm kind of swamped with this case."
"Of course."
"Oh thank you."

They hugged then exchanged quick kisses and 'I love you's. Lucifer turned around, and after he left Chloe looked at Ella who was smiling like an idiot.

"What?"
"Nothing, you two are just so cute!"

Chloe rolled her eyes and got back to work.

Lucifer arrived at the school a little late, but shortly after he'd left the station Chloe texted saying Trixie knew he was going to be. Upon pulling in front, he saw the girl playing on her phone.

"Urchin!"

Trixie's head shot up and she smiled at Lucifer. Se ran over to the car and got in.

"Hi Lucifer!"
"Hello, how was school?"
"Ugh, Malinda wouldn't shut up about her new pool. Then, Braiden decided to pour water on Kyle's head, so his mom had to come drop off extra clothes."
"Well first, Malinda never shuts up about how rich she is, what did you expect? Secondly, are you absolutely positive Braiden isn't a demon from hell."
"One, I have a super rich dad, you, but they don't hear me yapping about it. And two, no I'm not absolutely positive."

Lucifer chuckled, and by the time they finished talking they had arrived home.

"Put your bag away and I'll make you lunch."

Trixie nodded. After throwing her bag in her room she walked over to the bar before freezing in her place.

"Um, I'll be right back."

She ran to the bathroom, and after being there for a while she called for Lucifer. He jogged over to see what was wrong.

"What's up Trix?"
"Can you call mom?"
"She's a little busy. Just tell me what's wrong."
"I really think you should call her."
"I can handle whatever it is."

Trixie went silent for a bit before answering.

"I got my period." She said slowly.

Now it was Lucifer's turn to freeze. It's not that he was uncomfortable, you don't fall in love or deal with women without understanding how the body works. However, they knew what to do. Chloe knew what to do, he'd never dealt with a child on it before.

"Um, does you mom have pads or tampons in there?"
"If she did I wouldn't know how to use it!"
"Right, right. Uh well just use... toilet paper for now, and we'll figure it out together."

In the bathroom Trixie shook her head and mouthed what the hell.

"Give me a minute."

She came out and stared at Lucifer hard.

"Do you even know how to use pads or tampons?"
"No-"
"Then why don't I just call my mom?"
"Because she's busy, and if I can't help you with your girl problems what use am I to her? I promised to help raise you since, well I promised to help."
"Fine, but I expect you to provide demonstrations for me."

They rummaged through the bathroom drawers and found a box of tampons and a box of pads. Neither knew how to use them, so the next step was youtube.

"Now pull the pad from the wrapping and stick the adhesive side on to the underwear."

Following the tutorial seemed easier said than done. They had paper towels out to stick the pad on, but Lucifer just seemed to get it stuck on his hands and arms. Trixie laughed.

"I mean I know it seems hard, but not even I am messing up that bad."
"Listen, you have tiny hands and are able to do this easily, I don't."
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that's the reason you can't do it."

Another ten minutes went by and Trixie finally mastered the art of the pad. Lucifer mastered the art of tearing the adhesive off his skin.

"Okay, that's it. We've learned how to use a pad, go to the bathroom and do it."
"But I want to learn how to use a tampon."

A mischievous grin crossed Trixie's face and Lucifer groaned. Trixie unwrapped one and handed it to him. He looked at it, then at her and dropped it on the counter.

"Nope! I helped you with method one, save method two for you mom. It can be a bonding experience."

Trixie burst out laughing again. When she finally stopped he she was struggling to breath.

"Fine, but you have to help me clean this mess up."

Chloe got home around six or so. Lucifer and Trixie were cuddled on the couch watching tv. She walked over and sat next to them.

"Hey monkey how was your day?"
"Great. Malinda kinda sucked at school, but on the bright side, Lucifer taught me how to use a pad."
"He what? You got your first period and didn't call me?"
"Well you were busy, so I told her I'd handle it. Don't worry, she doesn't know how to use a tampon so you can bond over that."

Trixie giggled. Chloe had a confused look on her face.

"Uh, okay. Well babe how are you feeling about it?"
"Fine, Lucifer made it fun. Which made it less... scary to think about how I'm growing so fast."

Chloe smiled before kissing her daughter's head.
