"Okay, care to explain what we're doing here exactly?" Lucifer was seriously the only one inside that store who was dressed in a three-piece suit; everyone else in there had opted for something more comfortable.

"You know what kind of store this is, right?" Chloe asked him as they entered the shop, already fearing that Trixie would just run towards the first thing that got her excited.

"Darling, of course I know what IKEA is. Doesn't answer the question 'what are we doing here?', though,"

Three weeks had gone by since Lucifer had gone and bought a house out of nowhere, and now they had to do something about that overly priced property they owned. They had already gone to a meeting with the agency to choose how to decorate the rooms they had chosen to, and although overwhelming, having someone else setting up the furniture and decorations to their new home had taken a weight off their shoulders. It had already been two weeks since their meeting and for the most part, the house should be almost ready for them to move in.

However, since they had chosen to do Trixie and the twins' rooms by themselves, it was an understatement that they had to do a little bit of shopping.

"We are going to be buying things for Trixie's room and the nursery," Chloe explained simply, holding on tighter to Trixie's hand once all the colorful decorations and furniture came into their visual field.

"Why couldn't we do that through the internet and get them delivered to the house?" The devil suggests, finding himself out of place. "We could have gotten much better quality there,"

"Yeah, we could have done that, but doing it like this is so much fun! And it truly isn't worth it spending huge amounts of money in things that are going to be used for not too long," well, she had a point there. Babies grew fast, in about two years they would have to buy furniture again.

It was unbelievable but the babies had gone into a growth spurt; her belly having grown a lot in size very rapidly. It was truly a miracle how she didn't have stretch marks when at twenty-seven weeks along she looked to be about thirty-one or thirty-two. She had almost four pounds of baby inside her, which obviously made her look to be further along than she actually was. She was so happy though, she couldn't complain.

"And actually, I'm going to let you pay without fussing about it," Chloe added, grabbing him by the arm and heading into the baby section.

"Okay, now I'm really worried. What's gotten into you?" He asked, completely in disbelief.

"Well, you can afford it and I've been buying clothing and stuff for the babies on my own. Bringing twins into the world is a two people job," Chloe shrugged her shoulders, giving in to Lucifer's constant need to provide and pay for absolutely everything. If it were up to him, her salary as an LAPD detective would remain completely untouched, but in his defense, he just liked to spoil his girls a little bit too much.

"I'm seriously concerned this pregnancy has changed you too much,"

"Mom, look at that crib! It's so cute!" Trixie freed herself from her mother's grasp and ran towards an all-white crib with thin wooden bars and small detailing on the edges.

"Just enjoy it while it lasts," she said, giving her conversation with the devil some closure. "That's beautiful, baby!" She praised her daughter, waddling over to where she was standing with the devil following close by.

"Oh, and look at those, too!" She pointed towards a crib that had cabinets and a changing table incorporated as well; all the cabinets were in varying shades of blue. "We can get one for my brother and one for my sister! A blue one and a pink one!" She was so excited it was endearing. She couldn't wait to set the nursery up, to be a big sister, to have something to do with with everything 'big-sisterhood' entailed.
