You're not alone

How?

Lucifer just stood there as him and Alastor stared at Charlie...his charlie, nothing was making sense and he didn't care, his feet came to life as he took off running towards her, crossing the lobby in mere seconds and grabbing onto her. He put his head on the shoulder as he held her tightly. Not even realizing Alastor picking up Vaggie and taking her to the couch. He felt Charlie's arms move around him and hold onto his back, pulling him closer.
"I..I'm so... sorry I failed you, Charlie," lucifer cried out into her shoulder.
"It's ok, Dad...it wasn't your fault," she said as she rubbed his back, some trying to calm him down, feeling a wetness on her shirt now.
"B.. but" he started before being cut off.
"No buts dad...I am not gonna let you put yourself through this," she said as she pushed him back, making her look at him.
"I am standing right here in front of you," she said, giving him a bright smile as she looked into his eyes. Lucifer sniffed some before wiping the tears away with his hands and smiled, hugging her again.
"Never letting you go," he muttered out before another set of arms wrapped around both of them now. Looking up, he found none other than Alastor joining into the hug.
"I agree with your father Charlie, you are not leaving our sides...this hotel hasn't been the same since that day, and..it nearly killed us when we lost you.." He said as he rested his head on top of hers
"Oh, Al," Charlie said as she smiled happily.

"Whats with all the commotion down here?" Came the sound of Angel walking through the lobby after hearing the scream from earlier before seeing Charlie as well.
"Wha..." He stared at her before moving over and joining the group hag that was forming. It wasn't long before everyone was in it. The hug lasted a few minutes before finally letting go only for Charlie to be tackled to the floor.
"Charlie!!" Vaggie cried out as she lept at her girlfriend. Charlie landed on the floor with a oof before returning the hug and laughing some with her. They both soon got up from the floor before Angel spoke up.
"So..not that I'm complaining or anything.. but how are you back here charlie...you died 2 weeks ago," Angel asked, holding out an arm and motioning towards her.
"Well...I was in heaven..." She said slowly. The room went silent, and you could've heard a pin drop across the room.
"Haha.. I'm sorry, my ears must be full of something. I don't think I heard you right, " lucifer said as he looked at her with a more shocked expression.
"I was...since Adam killed me, it was deemed a sacrifice for my dreams that they deemed me worthy to be sent there" she said as she started to explain it to everyone, after a moment lucifer just nodded.
"I don't care...I'm just happy my appleseed is back," he said with a smile.

"OH! Sir, pentious is up there too! That means my hotel worked!" Charlie suddenly blurted out.
"Wait..so he's not dead either!" Angel asked now before smiling.
"That's good to hear... but..if so why didn't he come down with you...and.. how are you back here yourself?" He added on now, tilting his head confused.
"Why don't I just...run you through my time up there?" She asked as everyone started to nod. It would be easier than question after question.

Heaven

"Charlie!" Emily squealed out as she moved over and hugged her. She looked at Charlie who still had on her same outfit as always but with a pair of white wings behind her. Just like her dad's.
"You did it! Welcome to heaven!" She said happily as she looked over
"And who are you?" She asked with a smile
"Im....sir pentious?" He asked as he looked around some...it was a lot cleaner than hell, unlike Charlie. This was his first time here.
"How did we get here... I didn't think I could get in," Charlie asked, confused now before Sera stepped in.
"That is something I'd like to know myself," she said before the door opened and Micheal walked in, Sera gave a court nod and bowed as he walked over to Charlie and sir pentious.
"Miss charlie...I haven't seen you since you were just a wee little one," he said with a smile and holding out his hand to pentious.
"And welcome to heaven. You are the first sinner to ever cross the path"
"What do you mean haven't seen me since I was little?" Charlie asked before Michael turned and looked at her.
"You mean...you don't know who I am?" He asked her to which Charlie shook her head. She took note of a bit of a hurt look that flashed across his face before hiding it.
"I guess I can't blame him...I am Michael, your dad's brother," he said, offering a small bow with a smile.
"I... wait...dad has a family up here?" She asked, surprised.
"How come he never told me of all this?" She asked now before realization hit her.
"The fall! Of course... you was his family that abandoned him..." She said as she thought back. Never being told but hearing stories when her parents talked.
"You're a jerk..." She mumbled out. She hated seeing her dad go through all the pain and depression because no one stood up for him.
Michael didn't say anything but lowered his head with a soft nod at this.
"Come with me... someone wants to see you," he said before turning and leaving the room. Both Charlie and sir pentious followed him. They walked along the golden paths and moved their way up to a staircase, at the top resided the highest building in heaven. Upon opening the door, they walked inside to see a big guy behind a desk looking at papers. He looked up and set them down and took his glasses off, and smiled.
"Charlie...my little niece..it's a pleasure to meet you after so many years" he said as he got up and moved over to them holding his arms out for a hug but was a little surprised when he never got one.
"Sorry father... but it appears that lucifer never...told her about any of us, or his fall," Michael said after a second. God stood there before nodding and looking down at Charlie, a little saddened now.
"I...can see why he wouldn't. It was a hard day for all of us." He said before snapping a finger and making chairs appear as he sat down and motioned them to as well.
"So... Charlie if you haven't got it worked out yet...I am your uncle, lucifers father, the almighty God himself," he said, introducing himself.
"Im...Char." She started but was cut off.
"Lie morningstart. Born August 5th, at 2:38pm, birthed by lucifer morningstar, " he said before seeing Charlie's dumbfounded look.
"I....take it lucifer never told you that," to which she just shook her head.
"Well, either way he did," he said, wondering just how much she actually knew of his past now. Sir, pentious leaned over to Charlie.
"Be wise to keep that information away from Angel dust," he said with a smile, which did make Charlie giggle some at this and nodded.
They continued to talk for a while, and charlie got around to telling him about her redemption plan, and God smiled at this as he listened to her explain it and her reasoning behind it.
He was a bit impressed with how much thought she had put into it all and smiled. She was going to make a fine queen of hell he thought to himself.
"My dear charlie. Why haven't you talked to Sera about all this. I think it's a wonderful idea!" He said with a chuckle before seeing her face some as she fiddled with her hands.
"I...did actually talk to Sera... but she said it would never...be allowed then sent the exorcist to kill half of hells population..." She said slowly. The room was quiet for a moment
"Micheal...is this true?" he asked, to which Micheal nodded.
"And why wasn't I informed of this!" He yelled as his voice bellowed around the room.
"We...didn't want to bother you with lucifers' mistakes...so we took it upon ourselves..." He said, avoiding eye contact now.
"Lucifer made a simple mistake...one that he was over punished for and that he has paid his debts. You and Sera had no right to go behind my back and torment him even further!" He said. His voice rose more as he went on before getting up from his chair and moving to his desk and grabbing a piece of paper and starting to write on it before stamping it. He walked over to Charlie and handed it to her.
"On my behalf, heaven would like to apologize for its actions. I know words are worthless, and actions are what counts, so I give you this. A paper signed by me giving your hotel full rights and protection to go forward with your redemption plan with no interference from heaven"
"You... wait you mean?" Charlie started before stopping.
"Yes charlie..your redemption plan is a success, and heaven will welcome any sinner that passes the requirements." Without even thinking, she got up and hugged God himself, who chuckled before returning the hug
"I...do have one more thing to ask though," she said, moving back from the hug.
"Ask away, my dear charlie,"
"I... want to go back to hell," she said with a small smile.
God looked at her for a moment before smiling softly. He should've expected this.
"You have made the journey of every sinners dreams...and yet you want to leave and go back to hell to help others make this journey...that takes a lot of heart Charlie" he said and he put a hand on her shoulder.
"And I couldn't be more proud of you for making such a choice. You are going to make a fine queen of hell..you are selfless in your actions, do what is always best for people and never giving up hope on them. You will get your wish...if you agree to come back and visit. I've missed so much of your life and wanna be apart of it..and I'd like you to stay for a bit so we can catch up and finalize your plans" he said to which Charlie smiled and nodded.
Sir pentious had decided himself to stay for the time being, to help the sinners when they did start to arrive but he did promise to come and visit the hotel...he missed his friends he had made. Charlie left her number with him so he could call them whenever he missed them.

Over the course of her 2 week stay, she stayed up with sir pentious in his new place and helped him settle. Her and Emily were busy talking over plans, and Sera would help when needed. The butt chewing she received was very well deserved in Charlie's mind. God's voice bellowed out and was heard across heaven as he had his meeting with Sera and Micheal. The day came for her to finally return to hell, and she couldn't wait. She did her goodbyes to Emily and sir pentious, and even God himself stopped by to give a goodbye hug. She smiled as she moved through the palace towards the gates before a hand on her shoulder stopped her.
"Charlie dear...is that you?"
She turned around and gasped before hugging the lady.
"Mom!, what are you doing here?" She asked with a smile.
"Enjoying life. Did you finally listen to your dear mom and leave your father and silly dreams behind?" She asked with a giggle.
Charlie stopped for a second and pushed herself back, and looked at her mom.
"W..what no...I'm going back to hell with them,"
"Why on earth would you do that Charlie! We are treated like the royalty we are up here. Your father deserted you and left us..you shouldn't go back to him. "
And that was all Charlie needed to hear. Her patience was already thin with her mom as she had left for years with no explanation, wouldn't take a call or return a text..only to find her hiding in heaven all along?

"At least he supports me! What kinda mom leaves her own daughter and tells her to forgot her dreams and her people...I'm the princess of hell if you forgot mother...it is my job to rule them one day and I will not abandon them like you clearly did" with that she spun on her foot and headed towards the gate.
Lilith stood there looking around as everyone was staring at them. Her face was a bit flushed as she felt embarrassed and quickly turned to leave.

Hotel
Lucifer sat there not sure what to think...at first it was anger for hearing that Lilith was in heaven this whole time..and then it was...happy that God had realized his mistakes and helped charlie...and then embarrassment that God had reveal the whole birthing thing...he was doing so good at hiding that to.
"I...I'm just so glad you're back, charlie," he said with a smile. He looked over at Alastor, who was sitting beside him and thought a little before reaching down and grasping his hand softly. He didn't look at alastor or he would've seen a light blush, but lucifer did smile a little when he felt it squeeze back...maybe Al was right..it was time to move on from his past and look at the future...
