7 Weeks Later
"MIKEY! We gotta go bro!" Lucifer shouted up the stairs.

Michael tossed his bags down the stairs. "Heads up!" Lucifer caught his bag easily and hauled it out to the car, tossing it into the backseat. "All set?" He asked as he walked out of their apartment building with a cooler filled with food.

"Yeah, just got to lock up. You grabbed the presents, right? Anna would kill us if we forgot them."

"Yup! I still can't believe your little sister married my 2nd cousin and we didn't even get invited to their wedding." Michael said, getting into the packed car that they'd be spending the next few weeks in.

"Or when they had a kid and didn't tell us." Lucifer added, starting the car.

"At least they told us when we called to tell them we'd be spending Christmas in Lawrence."

Lucifer nodded, chuckling slightly. "You know what I can't believe: the fact that they had a kid a few months ago and she's already pregnant again."

"I can't imagine what they must've been like when they were dating." Michael's eyes went wide. "Glad you weren't there, or Adam would've been scared away by you."

"Ha, yeah. Might have to give him the 'Big Brother' talk while I'm there if Gabe hasn't already."

"Knowing him, he probably did, but he probably filled it with 'I'm okay with all this stuff 'cause I've done it too and I'm okay'." Michael joked.

"Oh God, I don't even want to think about that! I still can't believe he's turning 22 next month and he's probably done more illegal stuff than me." Lucifer groaned. "I forgot he could legally drink now too, ugh."

Laughing, Michael said, "I'm kinda scared that he'll spike the eggnog at Christmas and we'll end up with 4 drunk toddlers running around."

At this, Lucifer stopped laughing. "Four toddlers? I thought that only Anna and Adam had a kid?"

"Didn't you hear? Remember Jessica Moore? She got engaged to some guy named Sam Campbell. Apparently she got knocked up right after high school, and he legally adopted him after they got engaged. He'll be about 6 right now, and Arlene and Christian Campbell's little girl is about the same age."

"So all the Campbells will be there too?" Michael nodded, and Lucifer's eyes went wide. "That means we're gonna have the Novaks, Campbells, and Miltons in one neighborhood for Christmas. Certainly cuts down on the places to visit on this road trip!"

"Yeah, this is going to be crazy." The two fell silent for a few moment before Lucifer grabbed his phone and tossed it at Michael.

"Turn on my Potato playlist on Spotify, will you?"

"Sure, but no stupid pop songs, you got it?" Michael glared playfully at him.

Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever. Some are amazing and don't deserve to be grouped with the others, which are stupid songs about the same things."

As Queen plays through the car, Michael challenges him, "Name one pop star that doesn't sing about the same things everyone else does."

Lucifer smirked. "Easy, Ed Sheeran."

"Gotta agree with you there. Can you name one country singer that sings about different things than girls, trucks, and the outdoors?"

"You gotta try harder, Brett Young and maybe Luke Bryan." (A/n: I know nothing about country so I asked my country savvy friend and she said those two, comment if you know of someone different/better) Lucifer answered as they turned onto the highway and headed out of Detroit to Lawrence, Kansas.

The car purred as they pulled into Lucifer's parent's driveway. "Praise Lord, Hallelujah! It's solid ground and a place to stay that's not a hotel!" Lucifer yelled as he clambered out of the passenger seat before Michael could even park the car.
