Sorry it took me so long. Being back to work and then having my AC going out has thrown me for a loop. But for those of you who haven't heard the good news, Lucifer has been saved! Season 4 was picked up by Netflix!

Lucifer looked at the group of women joining him at the table. Plenty of thoughts came to mind, but he held his tongue after all there was a child at the table. He really had changed. Maze, Linda, Chloe, Beatrice, and Ella. Was this what it felt like to sit down to a family meal. It had been so long since his entire family had been together and they weren't really the sit down and talk type.

"So how was everyone's day?" Linda broke the silence, and earned a good laugh from just about everyone at the table. It had been an interesting day.

"I mean I just found out I was friends with the devil and a demon and got to help set fire to evidence." Ella shared, "Of course that was after I found out my lieutenant was a crime boss and the first murderer in all of human history."

"I helped mommy realize that only bad people were scared of Lucifer and Maze and she shouldn't be scared cause she wasn't a bad person." Trixie added to the conversation. "I also got to miss half a day of school."

"You're contribution was very much appreciated Beatrice." Lucifer raised his glass to toast the child.

"It sounds like you did my job for me." Linda agreed, "You'd make a fine therapist someday."

"Is it really that surprising considering all of the crazy she's growing up with." Chloe sighed.

"No I think I'm still going to be the president of Mars." Trixie assured.

"Well I don't know about you but all my excitement happened yesterday." Maze helped herself to another drink. "I mean I guess my boss deciding to have show and tell today could count for something."

"I didn't think I was your boss anymore." Lucifer turned to his demon.

"Yea well, old habits are hard to break." Maze slouched in her chair. "Like I said I've always got your back. I think it's your turn Decker."

"My turn?" Chloe looked around the table, "Oh you mean to tell everyone how my day went." She laughed, "Let's see where to start, oh yea my partner saved me with his wings, which I had been denying he had. Then I come back just in time to see the devil finish off the man I was supposed to marry. Oh wait the devil is my partner, which he has in fact been telling me all along but you know I wouldn't listen. What happened next, oh of course my daughter sits me down and plays therapist. Then places a fake emergency call to the devil who comes flying to my rescue. Then everything starts to get really exciting. My partner tells me he loves me we fly to burn some crime scene evidence and then we all sit down for dinner."

"So a normal day then." Linda finished, getting another laugh from Chloe. "Lucifer do you want to share your take on the day?"

"I think Chloe pretty much covered it." Lucifer sipped his drink.

"There is nothing that you want to share?" Linda pressured.

"I think I've done quite a bit of sharing today Doctor." Lucifer reminded.

"Right." Linda nodded, "What about that bit in the middle there, right before burning evidence."

"You're referring to when I told Chloe I loved her." Lucifer glanced from Linda to his partner.

"Exactly."

"You know doctor when I said consider this group therapy I meant it as a joke."

"Lucifer did you mean what you said?" Linda continued.

"I think we all know by now that I don't lie." Lucifer stated with another drink from his glass. "So what are you trying to get at here?"

"Are you going to be my step-dad Lucifer?" Trixie grinned, she had been sitting silently listening to the events of the day.

"Now don't get carried away Beatrice. I don't know that the devil is the marrying type, besides your mother has more than a fair bit of control over that ever happening." Lucifer couldn't miss the disappointment on the small humans face, no one could.

"Chloe was there something you wanted to say to Lucifer?" Linda prompted.

"Linda I don't know that now is really the time or the place. I mean…" Chloe motioned to the others around the table.

"You think you've got something to say that we haven't already figured out Decker." Maze rolled her eyes.

"I think she wants it to me more romantic." Ella chipped in.

"Wants what to be more romantic?" Lucifer was the only one at the table who wasn't catching on. Did he really think he was so beyond loving or was he still just that blind to human emotions?

"Lucifer… I mean… they want me to tell you… No I want to tell you." Chloe started but couldn't find the right way to say it. And suddenly Lucifer knew what the detective was struggling with.

"No Chloe, you don't need to say it. You don't have to say it." Lucifer stopped her, his hands on hers. "Not because they want you to say it or because you think I need to hear it. With everything that has happened today I don't want you to say something that you're going to take back after some sleep and time to think."

"Lucifer shut up." Chloe rolled her eyes. "How many times today have you told me that I'm going to change my mind eventually? And how many times today have I told you that's not going to happen. I would never say anything because they want me to say it or because I thought it would make you feel better about yourself." She stopped squeezed the devil's hands looked into his dark eyes. "So listen up Lucifer Morningstar what I'm saying now, I'm saying because I want to say it. I love you Lucifer, I've loved you for a lot longer than I care to admit."

She didn't hesitate to lean over and kiss him, a kiss he returned all to readily.

"Get a room. Or let me join in." Maze smirked, earning a disapproving look from Linda and a laugh from Ella and Trixie.

"Mazikeen we will speak of your indiscretion in front of the child later." Lucifer pulled away just long enough to give his most loyal demon a half-hearted glare. Letting her know that she was in no real trouble.

"Yeah, Yeah whatever you say boss." She rolled her eyes and went back to her dinner.

"I've so been shipping this since the first day I met you both." Ella was bouncing in her seat. Looking around the table I don't think anyone could tell who was more excited about this development, Ella, Linda, or Trixie.

"Mommy can Lucifer be my step dad." The little girl tugged on her mom's jacket sleeve.

"Don't get to ahead of yourself." Chloe whispered in her little ones ear.

After dinner Chloe made sure Trixie got cleaned up and tucked in, Maze went back down to make sure the club was running as it should, Ella passed out on the couch and Linda helped Lucifer with the dishes.

"Things are going to be different now Lucifer." Linda watched the devil carefully, he just nodded. "It's getting late, I'm going to go home. I hope you'll come see me soon you'll need to talk." Again Lucifer just nodded. After a little while Chloe came out to find Lucifer sitting in front of the empty fireplace.

"I just checked in with Dan, Charlotte's death hit him hard. Looks like the day caught up with her as well." Chloe nodded to Ella snoring on the couch.

"That would appear to be the case." Lucifer patted on the space next to him, encouraging her to join him. She just smiled and obliged resting her head on his shoulder. There was silence for a while before a fire popped to life in the empty fireplace.

"I told you no practicing arson." Chloe slapped the devils chest.

"You looked so cute, I didn't want to move you." Lucifer tried a devilish grin and Chloe couldn't stay mad. "Am I forgiven?"

"This one time." Chloe kissed his cheek, before letting a yawn escape. She had been trying to keep it in. The fire went out.

"Bedtime my dear." Lucifer lifted Chloe up and carried her to the master bedroom.

"Do you even sleep?" Chloe yawned watching Lucifer as he made quick work of tucking her in.

"I do." Lucifer nodded, "It's like alcohol. I can enjoy it but it doesn't really affect me one way or another."

"That must be nice, to never be tired and to never be drunk." Chloe let another yawn escape.

"It's been a long day." He tucked her bangs behind her ear. "You need your sleep." He agreed with her on most occasions. However, he could remember a couple occasions when it would have been nice to have been trashed beyond belief or to sleep for a month.

"Only if you're joining me." Chloe patted the bed next to her. Lucifer obliged, he could get used to this.
