You both walk over to the Ferris wheel and get into one of the baskets , taking your seat the person operating it closes the door behind you both and the ride starts up . Slowly going around you both admire the view of the carnival " so....what its like to live in the carnival?" Jame asks you "its pretty cool , all the carnies treat me like family and I get eat all the carnival food for free around here . But the best part is , is that I get to see some great performances . I love listening to the songs and watching the acts , my personal favourite is Scorpions . He's great at throwing knifes" you tell him "woah, your so lucky to be here . This is my first time being at a carnival , I never really got a chance to go to one when I was up top" he replies . You look at him sadly " why?" You asks "well....after mommy passed away dad kinda struggled with money , he never made enough to buy us tickets so I never got the chance to even get them" he explains "oh...sorry to hear that" you reply sadly looking down. You both watch the fiery fire works go off in the dark sky , smiling at them you let out a happy sigh admiring them " so..you said your dad runs this place right? Does your mom work here too?" James asks . You think for a moment, you never met your mother or even heard about her before , you didn't know anything about her "I....never met my mommy, daddy never told me about her before" you tell him "o-oh....sorry" he apologized "its okay, I'm just glad I have a dad to look after me " you say. James looks down sadly and sighs "y-yea...m-me too.....I guess" he says rather uncertain , the ride comes to a halt  and you both get off .

Getting off your see your dad waiting for you "ah there you are my dear, I see you've made a new friend" he says to you with a smile "yup, this is James . He's new here . He just got here-" you begin to reply "two hours ago, yes I know , I was notified about his arrival" your dad answers "anyways my dear, its time to return to our chamber for the evening " he adds on "oh okay daddy, I'll see you later James" you tell your new friend and hug him goodbye. James is surprised at first but then hugs back " see you later (y/n)" he replies . You both then separate and you hold onto Lucifers hand , heading back to your chambers together "so...tell me about this new friend of yours?" He asks you "well..we just met not to long ago, but he apparently lost his mommy and is now left with his dad , his daddy doesn't make enough money since he's never been able to get carnival tickets before" you tell him "I see, money is a big problem for most people . If one can't afford things then they usually can't get things for themselves or even for their children" he replies " but why father? Why is money such a problem for people? Why can't they just borrow things and pay for them later when they have the money?" You questioned "because my dear, its not that simple , one can't simply borrow things and pay for it later . Usually it needs to be paid for first" he explains . You both soon arrive at your chambers and he opens the door for you, going inside you go over to your bed and flop down on it with a thud "hey father...?" You begin to ask "yes my little devil?" He replies "you..never told me about mommy before, why? Did something bad happen to her?" You ask . Lucifer sighs and goes to sit down next to you, he gently lifts you up and places you on his lap "the reason why I never told you about your mother was because its..a little upsetting for me think about her, your mother didn't deserve to be down here. She never did anything wrong, she was simply delt a bad hand . It was just my luck that she ended up down her" he explains with a slight sadness in his voice .

You look up at him curiously, seeing the tears shine in his eyes "did...you love her?" You asked "yes my dear, I loved her more than anything . She was my ray of happiness in this dark place , she was the one person who understood me like no other" he tells you "so...what happened then?" You ask " your mother had gotten pregnant with you, we were both thrilled and happy to have you in the world with us. We did everything to ensure that you came into this world healthy and happy . However when your mother went into labor something happened, something I didn't think of . Your mother passed away during child labor , giving her last breath of life to you " he says sniffling a bit . You look up at him sadly and wrap your small arms around him , hugging him. He smiles down at you and softly strokes your soft (h/c) hair " I'm sorry father" you say "its quite alright my little one, it wasn't your fault, it was simply something out of our control . I might of lost your mother but I at least have a wonderful little daughter to keep me company and bring some joy into my life" he says and kisses the crown of your head. You giggle and smile , he gently lifts you off his lap and gets up from the bed "well, it would seem its dinner time my dear , how would you like something to eat?" He asks while straightening out his outfit "yes please" you reply happily". He smiles and nods, going over to his throne he then pages one of his prisoners and they come walking inside with a tray that held two bowls of beef stew and two chalices , one that held whine and the other held grape juice. They set the tray down infront of them and leaves, Lucifer places your bowl on your bed and puts your chalice on your night stand , you both enjoy your meals together . Once you were both done, it was time for bed. You placed your empty bowl on your nightstand and slide off your bed, going over to your closet you take out your nightgown and get changed into it. Lifting the covers you get under them and snuggle into them, Lucifer comes over to your bed and softly smiles down at you "you ready for bed my little one?" He asks , you simply yawn and nod your head "good, would you like me to whined up your teddy bear for you to help you sleep?" He asks . You nod once more, he picks up your red and black devil teddy bear and twists the gold key in its back . A soft melody begins to play as it plays "after the fall" , you begin to get sleepy and your eyes slowly begin to shut . You father smiles down at you and softly strokes your hair "rest well my little one" he  quietly says ........(to be continued)
