Lucifer Waited a while before deciding to go downstairs hoping to see an empty bar. But to his surprise Chloe had made herself at home on the couch Trixie asleep on her lap. She rubbed her hair.

"I thought you had left." He is hesitant to speak. She looked up at him lost for words. "I wasn't feeling up to it." She tells him not even looking up.

"Detecti- Chloe." He goes to walk closer to her and for once she makes no moves back. "What's wrong, I know you didn't come here to faint." She cant help but let a small smile crack. "Lucifer." She swallows. "I do have something I need to tell you." The closer he gets the more at home she feels. Her mind is telling her run but her body wants nothing more then for him to embrace her in his arms. His smell is driving her crazy.
"It's aright, you can tell me, I'm still the same devil you've been able to confide in before" . He lets himself laugh at his comment.

"I'm afraid." She finally admits.
"I would never hurt you." He pleas
"Not of you, at least not in this moment, I'm scared of something bigger." She says in a whisper out of instinct he grabs her hand. She wants to pull back but she instead squeezes it.
"I-i" then she breaks into tears. " I don't know how to tell you this" and struggles to catch her breath. Lucifer takes a seat next to her on the couch carful not to wake Trixie up.

"It's alright love, Just tell me." He wanted to know what had been bothering his detective hoping fixing it would make things right between them.
"Lucifer I'm pregnant.." she finally says only to cover her mouth with her hands. "with pierce?" Lucifer can only choke up. She shakes her head no longer able to speak. Lucifer's starring into space trying to figure out who else Chloe had slept with.

"It's your baby Lucifer." She tells him. He is now the one shaking his head. "Detective that's impossible." She doesn't speak instead she lets him come up with his own realization. "Unless. Your the one who makes more mortal, and mortals can procreate, how come I hadn't thought of this earlier." He mumbles to himself.

"I'm so sorry." She says to him.
"Sorry? Obviously this isn't your fault, I just don't understand why it did" he stands up pacing. " I mean what are we going to do with the thing." And with the sentence the fear she had for him was gone.
"Thing? It's a baby Lucifer" she stands up to shout.  Trixie tosses.
"Well we hope I mean this has never Happened we can't be sure." He says looking out at the window.
"What are you saying exactly it might be some kind of goat or something?" She asks furious.

"Of course not don't be ridiculous, maybe a demon or a shadow, but bloody hell definitely not a goat"

Chloe sits down once again feeling very dizzy, not from the baby but from her own inner anxiety. "Are you" he points to her stomach "you know"
"Keeping it?" She asks. She ponders for a moment. "Yah I think I might" she tells him. He falls back in the chair. "Look Maybe you should think some more about it." He tells her.

Once again she feels her eyes swell but she chokes back the tears. Damn. "I knew it," her voice cracks. "What?" He asks her.
"You'd react this way. You don't want kids, you don't like kids, fine but I'm keeping this baby Lucifer, goat, shadow, demon, angel I don't care it's mine and just because you can't handle anything serious doesn't mean I'm not going to." She yells scooping Trixie up in her arms.
"Whoa whoa detective." He takes Trixie from her before she has a moment to hesitate. "Aren't women with child not suppose to carry anything heavy?"
Seeing him so caring and nurturing made Chloe look at him for just a second the way she did before all of this has happened.
"Oh so you care now." She says
"Of course I care, about you detective! A child of mine had to be created in the depths of hell itself. I'm worried for your safely." He places his hand on her cheek after placing Trixie back down carefully. She ignored all the instincts to turn away. "The thing could hurt or even worst. Kill you! And I couldn't live with myself if I knew I was to blame" she closed her eyes now surcoming to  her desires letting herself nuzzle into his palm.
"Its just a baby Lucifer, I'm it's mother it won't hurt me, and I know for a fact it already loves you." She tells him looking up with a smile.

"Impossible it's only a cell at this stage." Chloe shakes her head.
"That's why I came over in the first place, something was wrong, but the moment your presents was known it stopped. It's trying to tell me to go to you.." she looks down at her stomach afraid to see his facial expressions. She was not in fact pleased with Lucifer's response though. "so it's already tried to harm you?." He asked
"No! That's not what I'm saying, what I'm saying is it's a baby, and it's our baby and if you can't find yourself to love it fine! But it's not evil it's already showing affection, for its father!" Lucifer cringes at the word.
"I. I, even if you do give birth to it, or will have targets on its back forever. I can't see get yourself killed or Beatrix because you some how accidentally got in the middle of my family drama." His voice was in a tone he hadn't used very often which was stone cold seriousness.

Chloe rolls her eyes. "this has nothing to do with your family Lucifer this is my family. This, this child is my family." She places a hand on her stomach. " and I'm going to love and protect it the way any mother should no matter what or who it is."

"Well if you're insisting on going about this crazy idea I suppose you'll need 24 hour protection. You and Beatrix will rest here tonight in the guest room." He tells her 
"We haven't even discussed anything yet, I'm not just going to move in with you." She tells him.
"then I'll say at your home, but I'm telling you the view here is a lot nicer." She rolls her eyes again
"I mean what are we lucifer, where do we stand, and I could hardly work up the courage to see your face today, let alone sleep in the same house." And tells him.

"Well detective you said it yourself the offspring would like to stay with me, and since the two of you are stuck in one body it seems you have no choice." He smiles. He missed her so much. And seeing her squirm at his arrogant comments made him thing of a better time.

"Well since I'm the one who can make the choices  I'm leaving" she says. Just then Lucifer grabs her hand turning her around.
"Chloe, please stay."
