She's Got The Devil's Eyes - Deckerstar (Completed)

Chapter IV

Chloe found out she was pregnant on a Tuesday's late morning, and up until Thursday evening, everything was perfect. She still felt like herself, her body was still hers, the only thing that would give away she was pregnant was that her breasts were a bit bigger and really tender, so much that the graze of her clothes' fabric would be uncomfortable. Other than that she was perfectly fine, up until that moment she felt okay, she felt like her usual self and would often forget she was even pregnant. When she wakes up on Friday morning with an upset stomach and has to run to the bathroom to throw up what was left of dinner, well... from then on she would be perfectly able to remember her condition. Ever since that moment, the only things she was able to keep down were water, plain crackers and yoghurt, it seemed as if her body was finally catching up on the fact that she was expecting. Eating or even smelling anything other than that would make her horribly nauseous or make her throw up straight away.

She had chosen not to say a thing about her pregnancy to anyone, well, anyone but Dan. She had actually told her ex-husband the day after she told Trixie, thinking she would prefer to tell him herself instead of letting Trixie slip up. Having a daughter in common that was overexcited at the prospect of being a big sister was the main reason why she walked up to him and told him, barely being six weeks along. Of course, detective Espinoza wasn't too keen on the fact that Lucifer had gotten Chloe pregnant and ran away, still not believing the 'he had to go home, he had family issues' charade Chloe was selling. It worked with everyone else but him. Other than that, everyone else believed Lucifer had to leave, and no one would even guess Chloe was pregnant, much less with the devil's child.

Two weeks had gone by since she found out and she had almost got caught four times. Three of the times were in the presence of Ella, which made her wonder if she should maybe tell her as well. She had been about to do so when she remembered that Ella was easily persuaded with a latte with extra whipped cream and sprinkles, so she changed her mind. She really didn't want anyone to find out, she didn't want to risk the lieutenant putting her on desk duty before it was necessary. Besides, her only problem was that she had a very flimsy stomach that would turn inside out at the faintest scent, she could still work just fine.

Dan, surprisingly, had gotten into quite a protective role ever since he found out, even if he didn't like Lucifer a single bit and Chloe was his actual ex-wife. He just understood how important the baby was to Chloe, in the end, it wasn't only Lucifer's child. He would be the one helping her whenever her pregnancy symptoms got in the way during work, trying to make her feel better and more comfortable. He'd hand her water, force her to sit down and rest before continuing on a case, make her eat even if she didn't want to, make something up if she had to rush to the toilet to throw up. She was really thankful that he was being so attentive and helping her care for herself. He had even offered to go with her to the doctor for her appointments but she had declined, feeling that it was maybe far too much to have her ex-husband going to the ultrasounds with her.

Regarding the fact that her child was most likely a celestial being, well... she wasn't having much trouble with that. The only differences she could find between her current pregnancy and the one with Trixie was that she felt far more nauseous and was throwing up more often, maybe that she was already showing a tiny bit. She had a theory that maybe morning sickness was directly proportional to how celestial the baby inside of her was. She didn't remember feeling that way with Trixie, so nauseated to even think about food, besides, when she was pregnant with her it took a lot more time for her to show.

She wasn't showing per se, she didn't have an actual bump since she was only eight weeks along, but she had a tiny curve to her stomach that hadn't been there a couple of days prior. It was only noticeable if she had her stomach bare and it was some time in the afternoon; the little bump would show as a tiny curve on the lower part of her belly. Her stomach would be as flat as a table during mornings, letting her be the only one who knew that something was blossoming inside of her.
