The Black Sheep

Lucifer smiled at his beautiful bride as he danced with her. It had been a year since Chloe returned to his life after an agonizing six months of thinking she was dead. Things had moved pretty quickly with them. Many would say they'd moved too quickly, having gotten engaged just six months after dating and married six months late. But they didn't want to wait. They knew what they wanted, and after everything they'd been through, they knew not to waste time.

The wedding had been relatively small. Friends and family were the only ones there. Lucifer had wanted to give Chloe something truly extravagant, but she had no interest in that. She said that all she needed was those she was closest.

Several members of Lucifer's family were there as well. His father had joined them, as did a few of his siblings, such as Raziel, Azrael, and of course, Amenadiel. It had been a long road, but Lucifer had more or less forgiven Azrael. Things would never truly been the same between them, but he knew she hadn't set out to hurt him or Chloe. She was attending invisibly to everyone besides those who knew who she truly was, as Ella knew her as a ghost.

"Can you believe we're finally here?" Chloe asked as she danced with her new husband.

Lucifer chuckled. "Darling, there are moments when I still fear I'm going to wake up to find that the last year never happened and you're still gone."

Chloe smiled sadly. "I know. I hope that stops one day."

"Let us not dwell on it today, my dear. Today is not the time for nightmares from the past," Lucifer said.

"I agree," Chloe said before kissing him gently.

"You guys are at it already," a voice said.

The newlyweds broke apart. "Miss Lopez, you have terrible timing," Lucifer said.

Ella laughed. "Hey, you guys have a two week honeymoon for that. I just wanted to say congratulations again."

"Thank you, Ella," Chloe said as she hugged her.

"I noticed you've been chatting up my father, Miss Lopez," Lucifer commented.

"Yeah, your dad is actually pretty cool, for God right?" Ella joked.

"Yes, well, I still wouldn't cross him, and that comes from someone who did cross him. He's proven that his wrath is still as great as it was centuries ago," Lucifer said. For once, he didn't mean it as an insult. That wrath had been used to exact justice for him and Chloe.

"You'll never quit with it, will you? Well, you seem to be getting on with your family a lot more," Ella said.

"Yes, some of them," Lucifer said. Many of his siblings he still didn't have much use for, but things were at least better with his father, as well as a few of his siblings.

As if on cue, Lucifer's brother, Raziel came over. "Hey, Sam, Chloe. Congratulations. Though I'm not sure I understand such a ceremony."

"Not a fan of marriage?" Ella asked.

"Well, there parents are divorced," Chloe spoke up.

"Yeah, that could do it for some. Anyway, I'm gonna go see Linda and the baby," Ella said before walking off.

"Come, brother. Let's get a drink," Lucifer said before putting an arm around his brother's shoulder and leading him to the bar.

Meanwhile, Trixie was sitting at one of the tables looking a bit unhappy. She was really happy that her parents were married. She had been ecstatic when she found out they were gonna get married. She was upset because they were going to be leaving the next day on a plane. The last time that happened, her other daddy never came back and her mommy didn't come back for a long time.

Trixie soon saw someone approach. She looked up to see her grandfather coming.

"Hello, young one. You don't look so happy," God said.

"Hi, Grandpa," Trixie greeted.

God sat down beside her. "Tell me what's bothering you, child."

"I don't want my mommy and daddy to leave. The last time Mommy went on a plane with my other daddy, Mommy didn't come back for a long time and Daddy died," Trixie said.

"Ah. You're afraid it will happen again. I can understand that, however, that situation was very unique, and those responsible have been properly punished," God promised her.

"Mommy and Daddy said the same thing. Daddy promised he'd even fly Mommy out of the plane if he thought it might crash. I don't know why he can't just fly her to where they have to go instead of taking the plane," Trixie grumbled.

"Yes, your father can be very peculiar at times. But there's nothing to fear, Trixie. They will come back, I promise. In fact, I promise to watch them both closely to ensure they reach their destination safely, as well as return the same way. Plus, your father's taking his own plane, so that helps," God told her.

"Really? You'll make sure they're safe?"

"Of course. They are both my children now," God said.

Trixie stood up and hugged him. "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Of course, my dear," he said as he hugged her.

Feeling much better, Trixie let go of her grandfather and ran to find her mother, who was standing next to Ella, Linda, and baby Charlie, who was born just a few months ago. "Mommy, can we give Daddy his present now?"

"You got Lucifer a gift for your wedding?" Ella sked.

"Trixie and I both did. Yeah, we can give it to him now. Go find him," Chloe told her daughter.

Trixie immediately ran off in search of her father.

Linda reached into her purse and pulled out an envelope and handed it to Chloe. She'd been in on the plan. She thought it was perfect.

"Thanks for holding onto these, Linda," Chloe said.

"Of course."

"What's going on?" Amenadiel asked as he walked over, with his father right behind him.

"Chloe has a gift for Lucifer?" Linda said.

"And it is such a wonderful gift," God said with a smile.

"Why are you dragging me, Spawn?" Lucifer asked as his child dragged him by the hand over to his wife.

"Because we wanna give you something," Trixie said.

"Hey, babe. We've got a gift for you," Chloe said with a smile.

"Wait that's not how this works, is it? I thought others were supposed to give us gifts," Lucifer said. He couldn't have already screwed up the whole 'husband' thing, could he?

Chloe chuckled. "Usually, but this is something Trix and I wanted to do today. Here."

Lucifer took the envelope that was held out for him. He opened it up and gasped as he read the papers inside of it.

"I wanted to give them to you at the right time. I think it's now. I've already signed them. Once you do, We'll file them. It's only a formality, but you will be Trixie's father officially," Chloe said.

Lucifer felt tears of joy run down his face. "Somebody give me a bloody pen.

Everyone laughed while God pulled a pen out of his pocket that he made appear in it seconds earlier.

Lucifer took the pen from his father and made quick work of signing the document. He then handed the papers back to Chloe before turning to his daughter. "Come here, Spawn."

Trixie practically jumped into her father's arms as he went to pick her up.. "I love you, Daddy.

"I love you too, child. I love you both," Lucifer said.

Chloe leaned into her husband's embrace and placed a hand on her daughter's back. "They were officially a family now. Nothing could take this happiness away.
