RadioApple - A deal I don't regret

Chapter 8

     After a relaxing breakfast, everyone went to the longe. Husk and Angle were having their own conversation. Charlie was scrap booking the vacation they had returned from, Vaggie watching her. Nifty was running after bugs. Lucifer was sketching up duck designs, leaning on Alastor who was reading.

     Everything left so calm. But to peoples surprise there was a knock on the door to the Hotel. Charlie's face lit up. Rushing to the door, everyone behind her. There was a gloomy shadow that darkened the door way. She opened the door to see...

"Mom?"

      Lucifers face was shot with mixed feelings of anger and disbelief. Lilith approached Lucifer, "Oh how I've missed you honey". Lucifer backed up. "You have no right to call me that," Lucifer’s tone deepened. "Oh but I can call my husband-" "you can't call your EX-HUSBAND shit" their bickering went on.

     Charlie finally got between them breaking the argument. "Dad, she's back, that's all that matters". Lucifer didn't want to tell Charlie about the deal Lilith had made. Let alone the choice of abandoning Charlie. So he just let it go storming of to his room.

     He was furious, it was like he was sent back into his hopeless dispare all over again. He started throwing stuff of the wall, trashing his room just before falling into a wall. His face dripping in tears. He was curled up in a ball, in the corner of his room.

     Alastor walked into the room. He hadn’t seen a room in this bad of shape. He approached Lucifer. Taking him into a warm embrace. Lucifer just cried. His heart was torn to pieces by that evil bitch who stood in the lobby. But he couldn’t do anything about it. He didn’t want to take away Charlie's mom from her. He didn’t want to ruin that relationship.

     Alastor couldn’t understand this reaction out of Lucifer. What could Lilith have done, other than leave him, to make him act in such a manner. Lucifer, still in tears, flicked his wrist making the room go back to the way it was. He leaned in kissing Alastor’s cheek, falling into the embrace.

     All that matters now is to not play into her hands. He had everything he wanted, a happy family. She can't take it from him, he won't allow it. "Alastor, we need to find out why she's back" Lucifer looked up to his true love. "Could you do that for me," his eyes stained with tears yet filled with furry. "Anything you ask, your majesty" Alastor uttered, kissing Lucifer.

      And with that it began

     Once Lucifer pulled himself together, he and Alastor made their way down stairs. Lilith was no longer in the lobby. This relieved Lucifer. "Charlie, where did Lilith go," he asked hopping she left for good. "She said she'll be staying at the palace, coming down for lunch with us practically every day, isn't that grate." Lucifer placed on a fake smile, "wanders". He was pissed.

     He just wanted her gone. I mean with the deal she got out of hell with, why come back. The thoughts could leave his head. He was completely unaware Lilith knew of his new engagement. He knew Charlie posted it but he didn't know Lilith still followed what was happening in hell.

     To get Lucifer’s mind off things, Alastor started trying to plan out their wedding. Asking Lucifer when he wanted to be married and where it should take place. They invited Charlie to help with planning. She was so happy to be able to help.

     "Why don't we have it here, there's a garden in the back of the hotel we can use for the ceremony, and then the lobby would just need some decorations and that can be the reception area." Charlie suggested. "That would be amazing." Lucifer stated. "The flower arrangements should be red, white, and yellow aswell." He continued.

     Charlie then questioned "who's the one walking down the aisle?" Alastor and Lucifer looked at each other, "I think we know who," Alastor remarked with a smug grin. Charlie quickly understood what he ment. "The bouquet should be red roses, with a couple white ones mixed in. Then yellow, red, and white roses around the brim of the guest seats." Charlie went on imagining it all.

     They went on for hours about decorations. Alastor couldn’t believe he was planning his wedding. It had never crossed his mind that he would ever be married. His heart raced at the thought. He loved how it felt.

     Dinner time rolled around, Husk and Angle decided to cook for everyone that night. It was delicious. They made spaghetti, garlic bread, and brownies. The conversation at the dinner able flowed very well. Once dinner ended, they made lots of popcorn, they also got a lot of m&ms and soda for a movie night.

      They watched a few movies. Lucifer had fallen asleep on Alastor’s lap after 2 movies. Once the 4th movie was over, 3 am rolled around, so Alastor carried Lucifer up to their room and fell asleep.

     Alastor was the first awake the next morning. He let lucifer sleep a little longer. Lucifer waking up 20 minutes latter, he got ready. Once he was fully awake Alastor asked "so why do you hate Lilith so much, you can't just be mad at her leavin, that's not like you.

     The question caught Lucifer of guard. "It's not that she left its where and why she left." Lucifer sat on his bed. "Years ago, when hell had just started to get over populated, heaven had started to get scared. They were scared they would be over powered. So they came to me... with a deal... They would take Lilith, and Charlie to heaven, if I allowed the extermination."

     "I was on the fence but before I could say no, she took the deal, and then she left Charlie, abandoning her," Alastor’s face was lit with a smile of anger. He held Lucifer’s face and planted a kiss on his forehead.

     They both went downstairs, to see Lilith having a conversation. Both of them glaring at her. Annoyed at her presents. They just wanted her to up and leave. Again.
