A few weeks passed and I didn't hear from or see Lucifer. 

Crowley had been staying at the apartment with me and Charlie most nights. Sleeping on the sofa though. 

Charlie had offered to go back to the bunker for a few nights to give us some privacy, but I didn't want that. It had really bothered me how Crowley had used my feelings for him to score points against Lucifer with that kiss. 

My bump had grown considerably, another month or so and we figured I'd be due. I was both nervous and excited to meet my baby girl. I was just nervous as to what was coming 

I ran myself a bath and climbed in. The warmth and bubbles soothing my achy body. I had just closed my eyes to enjoy the relaxation when there was a knock on the bathroom door. 

"Grace?" it was Crowley "Can I come in?"

"I guess" I sighed, pulling some bubbles towards me to protect my modesty, he's seen my naked so many time but somehow I felt shy now that my body had changed. The door opened slowly and Crowley stepped in, closing it behind him.

"Charlie has gone out" he told me, hovering awkwardly, that obviously wasn't what he'd come in to talk about "How're you feeling?"

"Tired" I laughed, I wanted to ask how he was coping with the whole situation, but I was still mad at him. 

"I wanted to apologise for the other day" he sighed "I shouldn't have kissed you unless it was meaningful or a promise of something" I felt sick at his words,  "I don't know what to do here" he sighed,

"You don't have to do anything" I reassured him, "I don't expect anything from you"

"I know" he sighed "But I love you"

"Is that enough?" I asked, voice breaking slightly.

"I don't know" he whispered, eyes cloudy with tears. He knelt down next to the bath and stroked by face, I closed my eyes as his lips met mine, the kiss was soft and short, wet from both our tears, he rested his forehead against mine, then stood and walked out of the bathroom. It felt like goodbye. 

"Crowley just left" Charlie told me, letting herself into my room "He told me to tell you Lucifer had ordered all his demons to retreat and that he was no longer interested in taking the throne"

I wasn't sure what to say, I was shocked.

"Did something happen between you two?" she asked 

"I don't know" I whispered and began to cry.

She comforted me and held me until I calmed down. 

"Can you stay at the bunker tonight?" I asked her

"And leave you alone?" she asked

"I'm not alone" I smiled, stroking my bump, it had grown a lot recently.

"You know what I mean" she smiled,

"I just need some space" I told her, she looked at me concerned "Please? I'll be ok"

"I'll be back first thing in the morning" she told me, I nodded and lay down. 

Once I was sure she had left, I thought of him and drifted off to sleep. 

"Gracie" he smiled, but kept his distance, he knew my boundaries.

I pulled back the duvet and sat up. Lucifer's eyes widened,

"Look how big she's getting" he gasped

"Tell me about it" I laughed,

"Is everything ok?" he asked concerned "I didn't expect to see you"
