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

Chapter XXX

Lucifer's expectations when it came to fatherhood had been exceeded in a way he couldn't really understand.

The twins were already a day and a half old, and in those thirty-six hours, he had experienced so many emotions. Dare he say, he had felt more during those past hours than he ever felt during his countless eons of now meaningless existence. He truly had a hard time recalling stuff from his life before Chloe, from his life before he decided he didn't want to be what people thought he was and become his own man. He was so glad about it, about having her, and he usually wasn't one to thank his father or be a fan of his miracles. Chloe, though... She was everything he had ever wanted but never knew until then.

The twins were slowly adapting to being earthside, taking their sweet time to discover what they liked, and failing miserably at communicating their needs. They had kept their parents up for most of their first night, fussing about everything and demanding to be held. Chloe and Lucifer had to learn that their favorite spot for sleeping was on Lucifer's naked chest and right by each other's side the hard way. Who could blame them, though? The devil was known for being a warm spot to nap on. However, the key was having them close by. Whether they were asleep or awake, they always liked being near each other, which was something really sweet to think about.

Currently, it was around five in the afternoon and a nurse had taken Claire to the nursery so they could do her car seat test and then send them home. The twins were at a healthy weight for their gestational age and Chloe was healing astonishingly fast, so they really had no purpose being admitted for another night. The main hypothesis was that because the twins were celestials and Chloe still had some of their blood in her, she was healing so quickly. Over those past thirty-six hours her belly had gone down significantly, and although she was bleeding as heavily as never before, she felt good overall. She could move around and take care of her children and, while the soreness hadn't completely worn off, she still felt far better than she ever expected.

Having only one of their babies around was weird. It had happened earlier in the day when another nurse had taken August to the nursery to do his car seat test, and now it felt weird too because Claire wasn't around. The good thing was that said test was the last thing they needed before they got discharged and got to go home, and with any luck, they'd be there by eight or nine pm. Hopefully, they wouldn't have to stay another night admitted, Chloe was yearning to be around her eldest as well, missing her terribly.

Trixie had only been to the hospital on the same day the twins were born, and although it had only been a bit over twenty-four hours since Chloe last saw her, she still missed her. She couldn't be blamed, though. She was emotional and hormonal, which only contributed to the enhancing of whatever it was she was feeling. The detective wanted Trixie to be around her siblings as much as possible and include her on everything they possibly could so she wouldn't feel left out. Besides, Trixie was already such a protective and overall awesome big sister to August and Claire. She had held them both at the same time once Claire had calmed down, and she had truly looked like she was in Heaven. Chloe had yet to see her happier than she was when her two newborn siblings were laying on her chest.

However, she wasn't all too homesick right at that moment. Amenadiel, Linda and Charlie had just arrived to pay them a visit and meet the twins.

"Oh my..." Said Linda right when she entered the room, forcing herself to keep it in when Amenadiel gave her a funny look. "Wait, weren't you supposed to have two of those?"

"Hi! Yeah, Claire is down by the nursery getting her car seat test done," Chloe explained briefly, softly patting August's back and being careful not to come too close to where his own wings were hidden. She was really curious and excited to find out what they looked like, to see if they were anything like Lucifer's or Claire's.
