Over the next couple of days, Charlie and the hotel crew started to prepare for their little "intervention" dinner with her dad. Charlie and Vaggie worked together to make up dinner while the others made sure the place was kept up, mostly Niffty.

Later that night, Charlie heard a knock on the front door. Was that him? Why didn't he just teleport in like usual? Charlie went to open the door and saw Lucifer giving his big focused smile.

"Charlie! It's so good to see you,"

He said enveloping his daughter in a big hug. It had been weeks since he had hugged anyone, the sting of how much he missed it had started to grow back.

"Hi Dad,"

Charlie said hugging her father back tightly and swinging him around.

"I've missed you so much, it's been weird not having you around as much."

Lucifer tightened his grip on Charlie as they hugged,

"I'm- sorry about that sweetie, I just... got busy. I'll try to be better about that, I promise."

Charlie loosened the hug enough to study her dad's face, it was tired and worn out, he looked like he hadn't slept in days. Lucifer tried hard to keep his facade up, but he knew his daughter was trying to read him.

"Dad... are you sure you are ok?"

Charlie asked with concern.

"Yes. Why do you ask?"

He said still trying to hold a smile, holding a silence but futile prayer that he could find a way to fool her into thinking he was ok.

The other members of the hotel, Angel, Husk, Niffty, Cherri, Vaggie, even Alastor started to walk in from the shadows of the hotel lobby.

"Cuz, with all due respect your highness,"

Husk chimed in

"One, you are a bad liar, two, we actually do care about you,"

Husk looked over to Alastor out of the side on his eye,

"well... most of us care about you, and three... we are also worried about (y/n)."

"Ya!"

Angel added in,

"You two were a couple of peas in a pod, she was even talkin' 'bout wantin' to move in here, den 'poof', ya both are nowhere ta be seen fa' weeks. What gives?! I thought we mattered to you guys!"

"Ya! I miss you and our girl, where is she?!"

Cherri pipped in,

"We loved watching you two hangin' out here togetha."

"She was a bad girl! But she was really nice! I liked when she would listen to me talk about my bugs fights!"

Niffty added, holding up her knife.

Alastor sighed,

"Honestly, I'm mostly here for the entertainment of your sorrow... but [Y/n] was important to the growth of the hotel and it's community. Plus, she amuses me. I had grown unfortunately fond of her charms,"

Alastor said with a wicked smile, his comment made the room pause a moment, Lucifer glared at him. (Lol, i wanted to make Luci a bit jealous XD, I'm a bad person :> )
