**Honestley the song above is what I was listening to while writing this chapter. It is called Alone By: Marshmello. I am legit obsessed with Marshmello and Alan Walker right now.**

**Enjoy this chapter, you're lucky it even got posted since Wattpad and/or my Word Doc is pissing me off!**

Ace wakes to an empty bed the next morning. At first, he feels sad because he was looking forward to seeing Lucifer first thing in the morning, but after stretching on top of the bed he hears a small giggle. Ace leans his top half off the bed and leans on his elbows as he listens more closely.

Again, a little giggle sounds. Ace tilts his head to the side in curiosity. Is someone else in the room? Has Lucifer let someone in the room after all? Another giggle sounds and Ace's head snaps to the bathroom door that is cracked.

Out of curiosity, Ace slides from the bed, dragging the large silky white sheet with him to wrap around his shoulders to hide his naked body. He really needs to ask Lucifer for a dresser so he can dress himself in mornings like this when Lucifer is nowhere in sight.

After securing the blanket around himself, Ace makes his way across the large room to the bathroom. The door is open just a crack so he peeks in only to spot Lucifer and Maiz everywhere in the mirrored bathroom.

Lucifer currently has Maiz sitting naked in the mirrored sink as he runs a wash cloth over her body. Maiz giggles as Lucifer wiggles his fingers on the infant's tummy and makes a funny face at her. Ace smiles lovingly at his mate and little sister. This is what a family looks like, not what Travis and Bree thought a family was. This right here, Lucifer bathing his little sister, them both giggling, is what a family is, and Ace couldn't be happier right now.

"Maiz, do you think your brother is going to stand outside the door all morning, or do you think he will join us?" Lucifer suddenly asks, his musical voice ringing throughout the mirrored room.

Ace blinks in surprise before pushing the door open the rest of the way with his hand. "How did you know I was here?" He asks, his voice rough from sleep.

Lucifer looks over his shoulder to grin at the boy. "I always know where you are, love, besides, I could feel your presence,"

"You always know where I am?" Ace asks as he leans against the doorframe.

Lucifer nods his head as he turns his attention back to the child he is bathing. "Yes, you are my mate, Ace, we have a connection. If you concentrated you would be able to feel our connection as well and know where I am. It is designed to help keep your mate safe, knowing where and how to find them,"

"Oh," Ace furrows his brows. "So, which bond does that? This tattoo," He pulls the sheet off his right shoulder and points to the Sigil of Lucifer on his throat and shoulder. "Or the blood bond?" He points to the bite mark on the left side of his throat.

Lucifer hums. "The Sigil only warns others of touching you, it also helps me understand your emotions better. The Blood Bond is what connects us. All demons and angels are capable of performing a Blood Blond, few demons perform it though since it is permanent and not even I can break the connection once completed,"

"So, I will be able to feel you with the Blood Bond? How does that work? And why do you still have the scar, I thought you healed?"

Lucifer nods his head again as he rubs soap on the infant's head, who is currently growing more hair by the day. "If you concentrate on our bond you will be able to feel me, yes. A Blood Bond is special, that is why the scar shows on even me. It is visible to show others of the bond and to remind you that you are connected to another in the strongest way possible. When the scar starts to fade is when you know the bond needs to be remade again, that is called a faded bond,"
