Deckerstar Oneshots: Book Two

Shit

Chloe was standing at her counter making Trixie lunch. Maze would usually take her to school but she was out doing... well something, and Chloe didn't want to know. She had finished making a sandwich and had started packing it in Trixie's lunch box, when the young girl came out of her room.

"You and dad are going to curriculum night tonight together, right?"
"Tonight? I thought that wasn't until the ninth."
"It is the ninth."
"What? No it's not."
"Yes it is."

Chloe gave Trixie a confused look before checking her phone. 'Wednesday September Ninth.' Her face dropped when realization hit, but was quickly changed to a face of thought.

"Um, your dad will be there, I have to check to see if I can go."
"Okay."

Chloe handed her daughter her lunch box.

"I think your dad is here to take you to school."

She walked Trixie to the door before hugging her daughter. She shut the door and checked her phone again. 'Wednesday September Ninth.'

"Shit." Chloe whispered as she turned and leaned against the door. "Shit!"

She said louder this time. Adrenaline was pumping through her body, and her reflex's landed on her calling Ella.

"Decker! Hey what's up?"
"Um, hey I need a favor." Chloes voice was shaking.
"Oh my god, are you okay?"
"Yeah. Um, can you pick up a couple of pregnancy tests. And then can you come sit with me while I take them."
"Shit. Er, I mean of course. Give me twenty minutes."
"Okay."

Chloe hung up and focused on her breath. She closed her eyes and after a few seconds made her way to the couch.

Ella was running around the drug store trying to figure out how many she should grab. She decided on three, just in case of a false result. The checkout women looked at her with worry.

"You hoping these come back negative?"
"Oh these aren't for me. A friend asked if I could help her with it. I dont know what she's wanting."
"Well, whatever happens give her my best."
"Thanks. Have a nice day."

Ella waved and got back on the road. She knew what Chloe was going through, she had a pregnancy scare when she was 21. Her test came back negative though, which was a huge relief.

Ella knocked on the door which swung open quickly. A nervous looking Chloe offered a shy smile. She moved out of the way so Ella could come into the apartment.

"Thank you for helping me with this."
"Yeah, I know how scary it can be."
"You do?"
"Uh never mind. So I bought you three. I don't know how personal you wanna get. Do I need to to be in the bathroom while you pee or-"
"Uh no! No, just sit with me while we wait."
"Of course! Oh and the checkout lady gives you her best."

Chloe gave a confused look with a light chuckle. She then went into the bathroom, and a minute later opened the door for Ella to come in. They sat against the wall. Ella held one of Chloe's hands as they waited the three minutes. Finally Ella's phone beeped and the women looked at each other.

"Do you wanna check them, or should I?"

Chloe looked at Ella and nodded. Ella stood up and grabbed the first test. Slowly she turned it over and stared at the answer box. She then looked down at Chloe.

"Well? What's it say?"
"It's a positive."

Chloe blinked a couple of times and nodded slowly. She cleared her throat before responding in a shaky voice.

"Um, what do the other two say?"

Ella picked up the other two and looked at their answers. She offered Chloe a small smile before responding.

"Positive and positive."

At this point Chloe had started crying. However, she had also started laughing. Ella made an 'aw' face and sat down next to her. She pulled her into a hug and stroked her hair.

"Hey it's, it's gonna be okay. We'll figure it out. Don't worry."
"I'm not worried," Chloe looked up with a smile on her face. "I dont know why, and I couldn't begin to explain it, but I'm okay with it. I'm actually kind of happy about it."
"What? But you and Lucifer weren't trying for kids."
"Well, Trixie wasn't really planned either. But she's one of the best things about my life."
"That's true. So how're your planning on telling him?"

Chloes face fell, and she leaned her head against the wall.

"Shit. I didn't even think about that. I mean what if he doesn't want a kid. Or what if he lea-" she took a deep, shaky, breath, "what if he leaves me?"
"Shut up Decker. Look, I've seen you two do this ridiculous back and forth dance of being in love with each other. And we've all seen what Lucifer will do for you. So if you think for even a second he wouldn't support you with this, then I don't think you give your boyfriend enough credit."

Chloe looked at Ella and laughed. She nodded and took another deep breath. This one was more stable. She stood up and pulled Ella off the ground.

"Okay, well now I need to find a way to tell him without upsetting him."
"Decker, the information is the information. Doesn't matter how you say it the end result will always be 'i'm pregnant'"
"Yeah. I um, I need some time to think. Alone."
"Of course. I'll get out of your hair, let me know how it goes."

Ella hugged Chloe before exiting the bathroom and the house. Chloe looked at the three tests that sat on the bathroom counter and picked them up. She looked at each one and let out a light chuckle. Then she picked up her phone and called Lucifer.

Fifteen minutes later there was a knock at her door. She opened it and smiled at the man standing in the doorway. Lucifer quickly kissed her before walking into the house.

"Um take a seat. Please" Chloe said gesturing to the couch.

Lucifer nodded and sat down. Chloe stood in front of him. She was visibly nervous and he could tell.

"Are you okay?"
"Huh? Yeah, um, so I need to tell you something. But before I do I just- please don't be mad or upset or anything okay?"
"Right. Detective, are you breaking up with me?"
"What? No! No, just, here."

She walked over to her kitchen table and picked up a shoe box. Walking back over, she handed it to Lucifer. He looked up at her questionably, and she gestured for him to open it. Slowly he took the lid off and looked inside the box.

"Pregnancy tests?"
"Yeah. My pregnancy tests."
"Oh."

He took a second to look at them, reading the positive on each plastic test. After taking a minute, he looked up at Chloe. Her eyes were starting to water and she looked worried.

"This is what you thought I'd be mad about?"
"Uh, yeah. Look I know you don't want kids. But I want to keep this one. I'm not asking you to help me with it, I know that's a lot, but I thought I'd let you know and just give you a choice."

Lucifer chuckled and stood up. He walked forward until he was an inch in front of Chloe.

"This is a bit of a shock, I can't lie, but how could you ever think I'd leave you. Especially now? Aren't you the one whose constantly saying we're a team? We'll deal with this together like we deal with every other obstacle in life."

Chloe was full on crying right now, and Lucifer smiled and pulled her into a hug. Chloe smiled. Ella was right, he was going to be with her every step of the way, and she was worried over nothing.

"Ella was right."
"What was Ms. Lopez right about?"
"I was worried for no reason."

Lucifer chuckled and pulled out of the hug. He rubbed her cheek and smiled. Chloe smiled back before kissing him softly, then going back into the hug.

"I love you, Lucifer."
"I love you too Chloe."

Oh my dad this was a long chapter 😅. Can you tell I've had this idea forever? I have to say this is by far my favorite. I actually wrote it yesterday, but couldn't wait to post it so I moved it ahead of all my other ones. Anyway, grammar, spelling, other ideas. I hope you love it as much as I do.
