Adelia wakes up to an empty bed, that hasn't happened since her and Lucifer moved in together in 1932. She looks around the room. No note, no text, nothing to indicate where he ran off to. She calls his phone and it goes straight to voicemail. She calls Chloe and she answers right away.

CD: "Hey, Adelia. Have you seen Lucifer? I've been trying to get ahold of him all morning."
AM: "That's why I'm calling, Chloe. I was hoping you knew where he was."
CD: "No I don't, sorry. You don't think something happened to him, do you?"
AM: "I hope not. I'll let you know the moment my husband contacts me. Hope that you do the same."
CD: "Of course. I'll contact you the second he does."
AM: "Thanks, Chloe."

She hangs up and gets worried, this isn't normal. She puts a robe and slippers on and heads down to Lux, hoping that Maze or Amenadiel are at least around. She smiles and sighs in relief when she sees the angel.

"Good morning, Addie. Sleep well?" "I did. Have you seen Luci? Chloe and I are both trying to get ahold of him." "I haven't seen him. Have you tried calling him?" "Straight to voicemail. What if something really bad happened to him?" "My brother is strong, I'm sure he's fine. I'll see if I can call Maze and figure out where he is." Adelia nods and sighs, tempted to call her dad and have him help her track him. She decides to call him and his friends, hoping someone can help her. Adelia heads up to the bedroom and starts pacing around, very worried about her husband.

A portal opens beside her, making her scream. She's on the floor clutching her chest when Magnus helps her up. She stands up straight and changes her clothes into something more appropriate, jeans and a long sleeve shirt.

"Ayah, thank you so much." "He's family, it's the least I can do." Adelia kisses his cheek and gestures for the four shadowhunters, one vampire, one werewolf, and her dad to have a seat. She starts playing with her wedding ring when Alec speaks up.

"Do you have anything we can use to track him?" "We live up here, be more specific." "Something that he uses often." Adelia nods and goes to the closet on the other side of the wall, bringing back a watch.

"He wears this nearly every day." Alec nods and he tries to track him with Jace. When nothing comes up, Adelia visibly deflates. She takes the watch and kisses it, going to put it back. Adelia's phone starts ringing and Clary hands it to her.

"Adelia Morningstar... Yes... What?... Oh okay... Yeah I'll be there as soon as I can... I'll contact her so that she knows... Thank you, ma'am... You too." She hangs up and groans. "Can I trust you all to hang out here while I go run a really quick errand?" "No problem. Everything okay, sweetheart?" "Remember Trixie? The little girl you met? Apparently she threw up at school and is really sick but since neither of her parents are picking up the phone, they called me to get her. Chloe has a huge case so she's busy but I know her ex husband isn't doing anything. Eh, Luci calls him 'Detective Douche' for a reason. Trixie knows about the downworld and who Lucifer and I are so we can still try to find him while she's here. She's most likely going to just sleep anyways." Adelia heads straight for the elevator before anyone can reply. Magnus sighs and talks among the others about ways to figure out what happened to Lucifer.

Within twenty minutes, the elevator opens to reveal Adelia with a sleeping girl in her arms. Magnus raises his eyebrow.

"She feels so sick and she just passed out on the way here, poor little angel." Adelia kisses her head and goes to put her on the bed. After making sure the little girl is comfortable, she returns to the living room. Luke places a hand on her shoulder, helping ease her pent up tension. She smiles at him and sits down beside Izzy.

"Don't worry, we'll find him." "I just hate this feeling of cluelessness and vulnerability. What if something really horrible happened to him? I can't live without him I just can't what if..." Adelia feels a hand wipe her face before she can even realize she's crying. Izzy smiles at her as she wipes her tears. Alec pulls her into a hug and lets Adelia sob into his chest. Magnus pets her hair and can feel his heart breaking.

"Addie?" A hoarse tiny voice is heard and Adelia's sobs are silenced. She immediately makes herself look better and holds in her tears before turning to Trixie with a smile. The warlock walks over to the little girl and pulls her into her arms.

"How are you feeling?" "Starting to feel better. Where's mommy?" "She's busy sweetie. You know how she gets, Detective Decker needs to protect this city so that it's safer for you. Just like her daddy did." "And Dan?" "Dan? Your dad? I'm not sure about Detective Espinosa. Why did you call him Dan?" "He made mommy cry again, he's not my daddy if he's mean." "I like your judgement, and I am so sorry that you had to see that I'm sure your mommy doesn't like it when you see them fight." "No. Can I have some water please?" Magnus snaps a glass of water up and walks over to hand it to Trixie. She watches him and her eyes widen.

"Your daddy does magic like you? That's so cool! Thank you." Trixie smiles and accepts the water, drinking it slowly. Magnus smiles at the little girl, thinking of Madzie. Adelia sits back down on the couch with Trixie in her lap, getting medicine for her. She looks at it in disgust but takes it anyways, knowing that it's going to only help her. Trixie sticks her tongue out and shakes her head.

"BLECH!" "It wasn't that bad." "It's so nasty!" Everyone laughs as Trixie downs the rest of her water. The elevator doors suddenly open and Adelia hands Trixie over to Magnus.

"Maze?! What happened?!" The demon is showing her true face and bleeding from her side. Magnus shields Trixie's eyes, while Adelia helps her sit down.

"I'll be fine, I'm a demon I heal fast. We were attacked and..." Her voice trails off and she looks away. Adelia makes her look at her.

"Mazikeen. Where. Is. My. Husband?"
