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

Chapter XXIV

Having Dan know all the truth had proven to be both an asset and a liability.

At first he had been reluctant to be anywhere near them, still getting used to the idea that Lucifer had gone through things no human could even think of, and he had done things so vile and awful... He just didn't know if he should trust him anymore. Then, a couple of days later and a couple of chats later, after learning the fact that angels self-actualize, he started to come around the idea a little bit more, involving himself with them almost as often as he used to before. Just knowing the fact that Lucifer still considered himself an angel and that he posed no threat to anyone, much less those he cared about, had been very helpful in making Dan comfortable and letting him live his life with the knowledge that there's, indeed, a higher power. In a way, he had to thank Lucifer. The devil had given the douche a reason, a purpose, to live a healthier and kinder life, he had given him a reason to go walk his path towards redemption. Knowing that Charlotte was at the other end of it made him feel a lot better.

However, a month passed and things were... Odd, for lack of a better word.

Since Chloe was now thirty four weeks pregnant, the birth of the twins could literally happen any day, and that scared Lucifer out of his mind. It made him feel anxious, terrified, and that sole fact made him more of a pain in the ass than he normally was. Even worse, things at Lux were oddly calm now that Maze had gone back to administering it, so Lucifer literally had nothing to do other than worry and wash all the twins' clothing over and over again in case they were dirty. He had learned babies had to be in clean environments and that had brought his inner OCD for tidiness out.

Then came the moment when Chloe couldn't physically deal with Lucifer's nervousness and lack of a better thing to do, so much that she talked to the lieutenant and got Lucifer another partner for the time being, practically begging Olivia to let him. Things couldn't have taken a worse turn when the new partner in question was Daniel Espinoza.

A month since the last field case she took and she found herself at thirty four weeks pregnant, working with her ex husband and boyfriend to bring murderers to justice, and even if it seemed like things couldn't go worse, she found herself actually fond of working with them. She would handle everything that had to do with the precinct, and Daniel and Lucifer would go on the field and arrest the bad guys. Neither of them would ever admit it but they worked really well together, and they were liking this new dynamic.

The only thing that was worrying Chloe and Lucifer a bit was the fact that Daniel had tons of questions still unanswered about the divine, and since Lucifer never lied, they would find themselves in a problem every once in a while when Daniel took the opportunity to ask while working.

Other than that, they could say their life couldn't be better. They were just waiting for the babies to make their arrival, they had found a way to work in the meanwhile that assured everyone had something to focus on other than the babies, and they were happy. What more could they ask for, right?

For example, their situation right then was as domestic as it could possibly get. Trixie had just arrived home after a school day and Chloe was cleaning up the dishes from a snack she ate, having Lucifer humming softly nearby. They had fallen in sync ever since moving to their new and far too large home, everything felt so perfect Chloe couldn't even believe that was her life.

"Are you busy tonight?" Lucifer came up behind her and whispered seductively to her ear.

"Are you kidding?" She asked him, laughing a little bit and turning off the faucet. "You know all I do after work is lay on the couch with my feet in salt water," she turned around and allowed his hands to grab her by her nonexistent waist; bump separating them.
