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

Chapter X

From the moment the word 'pregnant' left Dan's lips, everything had been complete and utter chaos.

Needless to say, the ride back to the precinct had been done under the most uncomfortable silence to ever exist on its first half, and as a rainfall of apologies on the second one. Dan had fucked up, he had fucked up very badly and the gravity of it all could be understood because Dan himself could realize the gravity of his slip up. He had never apologised so much in fifteen minutes.

Chloe of course, couldn't have it in her heart to stay mad at him for too long, after all, he was just worried about her. It was difficult to believe but the commentary hadn't had any malicious intent at all, it was just to make sure no one gave Chloe something she couldn't take but still, Dan couldn't help it but feel bad about it. Even if Lucifer had been the one to get hurt the most out of that situation, Chloe had to be the one that felt the most betrayed, as if Dan had failed her, which he kind of had. He blatantly revealed Chloe's most treasured secret to the one and only person she was having trouble to talk to, and even if it was with good intention, it still stung deeply into her heart.

They arrived at the precinct forty minutes after Lucifer left the crime scene, having immediately left the place because of obvious reasons. Chloe felt desperate, she had to get to Lucifer as soon as possible so his mind wouldn't eat itself away thinking of things that didn't, nor would ever happen. She would never cheat on him, she would never break his trust like that, and even if she hadn't, Lucifer didn't know that.

"Are you okay?" Dan asked her once they parked the police car on the precinct's parking lot. Chloe was about to collapse, to be honest, so the question had been rather rhetorical.

"Seriously, Dan, do I look okay?" She really did not. For starters, she was completely dishevelled; her hair was a mess, one of her favourite cardigans was lacking a sleeve and there was a tight bandage wrapped around her arm and cutting off her circulation. She felt far too nauseous even if it was night time and she just wanted to lay down next to Lucifer and be glad that nothing worse had happened, like them dying, for example.

"No, you don't," Dan is fool enough to say, walking around the car to stand in front of her.

"Thank you!" Her voice is filled with irony as her eyes pierce their way into Dan's. She really wasn't mad at him, she wasn't. She just had more pressing issues to attend to rather than paying attention to her ex-husband. "I need to get to Lucifer, like right now. Could you go pick Trixie up at mine? She's with Olga,"

"Sure, sure. Do you need anything else?" Chloe shakes her head, taking deep breaths in to try and alleviate her unsteady stomach. Truth to be told she just felt like throwing up her lunch on the nearest garbage bin but she had to overcome it.

"I'm fine, really, I just need to get to Lucifer. He must be overthinking his mind out right now," she says, walking away to her personal car and swiftly getting into the driver's side.

"If you ask me for my opinion I think the guy's a prick. He finds out he's having a kid and runs away?" Chloe could sense the 'I told you so' on Dan's tongue.

"Good thing I didn't ask, and just to clear things up, you have no idea of everything that's going through his mind right now, so if you'll excuse me, I have a shitton of apologizing to do," Chloe starts her car, warming up the engine.

"You're really going to apologize to that dick?" Dan argues, standing over the window on the driver's side of Chloe's car.

"Bye Dan," she says as her last word and drives herself out of the precinct, hoping and thinking about so many things but mainly hoping her stomach would allow her to complete the drive to Lux without any inconveniences.
