Molly sat on the couch trying to ignore that sinking feeling about her and Gabriel's relationship. Yet again he had proven to her that all wasn't right. She had thought after their little heart to heart things would be okay. Gabriel himself had seemed so hopeful. He had even reminded her of the Gabriel that she had fallen in love with.

"Hi there"

She looked up seeing Lucifer walk into the room. Molly only nodded as Lucifer sat down.

"So just curious but is why happened up there normal?"

Molly shrugged.

"It's the new normal."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow.

"I'm a good listener. I know that's probably contradicting everything you have heard about me."

Molly smirked as she leaned back into the couch.

"Let me get this straight, you want to hear about mine and Gabriel's problems?"

Lucifer nodded happily.

"I told Gabriel that was I was going to watch reality TV. He doesn't have to know that I am actually listening to his business."

Molly internally tried not to laugh. She was seriously having a therapy session with Satan. This has to be a new one!

"Well okay. If you don't have anything better to do. Things were good. Were is the keyword. I guess everything changed until I got pregnant. After that it's gone down hill. Think about an airplane just going alone then all of a sudden BAM nose dive! Ever since then it's just not good. Gabriel and I have a problem with running when things get bad. He ran when I got pregnant then I ran when Amara broke our bond because I just knew our love wasn't the same. There you go Luci. That is the PG version of the disaster known as mine and Gabe's relationship."

Lucifer blinked a few times.

"Gabe left when he knocked you up?"

Molly nodded as she took on Lucifer's annoyed expression.

"Something like that. His time away included strippers, porn stars, and a heaping amount of liquor that makes my liver hurt thinking about it. I just don't think he was ready for that at the point. He's changed though. I think he saw the error in his decision making. He does really well with Joy and I am proud of him as a father."

Lucifer started to speak several times. Each time he would stop himself with a sassy finger shake.

"I have been dying to know my son and Gabriel just walked away from his child and pregnant wife? Oh my dad! You wouldn't tell from the way he is with her now. He watches every move that child makes. Amara is loose too?"

The freaked out expression on Lucifer's face was enough to make Molly worry.

"Yes but she's good! She's been taking care of JoyAnna and I for quite some time."

Lucifer was quiet a moment longer.

"So that means my dad knows about everything?"

Molly winced.

"Yes, he's slightly afraid of Joy. He sends her a nice card and gift on her birthday and at other random times of the year but he mostly stays away."

Lucifer laughed hard!

"After seeing Joy throw Michael across the room like a doll apparently, I would be concerned too. He probably has his panties in a pinch because he didn't actively create Joy. I think I know how to fix your and Gabe's problems."

Molly raised an eyebrow as she sat up a little straighter.

"Yeah, do share because I am at a fucking loss."

Lucifer grinned and started bouncing in his seat like an excited child.

"Okay, so you go and buy you some lingerie, tie his ass to a chair, give him a lap dance. Its hard to be mad when you have a hot half naked woman rolling all over you. You know what? Let's get out of here for a bit. I can tell you haven't smiled in a while. Lets go find something to tease that brother of mine with. I have a good eye for all things lustful.'

Molly blinked a few times. The idea of going out with Lucifer for a bit was concerning and the idea of going lingerie shopping with him screamed bad idea! However, if he could fix her and Gabriel's problems it was worth a shot! Anything was worth a shot at this point!

"What about Gabe?"

Lucifer shrugged.

"That stick in the mud will be fine. He's acting a little out of character if you ask me."

Molly glanced up the stairs waiting for Gabriel to appear at the mention of his name. When he didn't she looked back to Lucifer.

"Well you aren't quite what i was expecting either."

Lucifer stood. He could see why Gabriel was so over the moon for Molly. She was definitely a beautiful girl!

"We wear many hats."

He reached out grabbing Molly's arm and took them out of the room instantly.

Meanwhile, Gabriel had sat down on Joy's bed and was looking miserably at his feet. The last thing that he wanted to do was really think that he and Molly were ruined as a couple. It couldn't happen! He loved her too much! The thought alone of Molly being with another man made Gabriel want to go into a jealous rage.

The electricity in the room began to surge as Gabriel's anger began to increase.

"Gabriel stop. Cas and I are trying to watch a show.'

Dean called from across the hall. Gabriel's head snapped up as he stood and walked down the hall. He had to do something and quick! Walking into the living room, Gabriel frowned as noticed the a sheet of paper laying on the couch.

"Borrowed your wife. Don't worry no freaky shit is happening! ~Lucifer."

Gabriel was so close to losing his shit that he had almost lost all grip on reality until he heard Cas behind him.

"Gabriel, I have a theory on how to deal with...why are you angry?"

Gabriel turned around to face Dean and Cas who were watching him with a worried expression. He sighed swallowing the rage that was going through him.

"Lucifer took off with Molly."

Dean's mouth dropped.

"Like what kind of taking off are we talking about?"

Gabriel rolled his eyes.

"Not like that you idiot! It could be like that for all I know. I swear if that ass hat touches her I am going all out military on him."

Dean looked over his shoulder making sure that there was no sign of JoyAnna around.

"Dude I don't know how many times we have to have this conversation with you. Whatever is going on between you and Molly, it needs to get fixed. I get that you are going through some stuff but you two are going to have to work it out. What's going on man?"

Gabriel groaned before sitting down on the couch. He was quiet a moment and Dean started to say his name but was stopped.

"I heard your! All of this crap, everything that is going on...I guess it has me not being the most friendliest me that I normally am. I snapped at her a bit ago when that crap with Micheal happened. She didn't deserve that. Molly doesn't deserve any of it. And I wonder why she avoids me and is crying all the time."

Dean and Cas looked between each other. Both knew had to agree with Gabriel there. If he would have cooled his heels and didn't say stupid stuff in Molly's presence, she probably wouldn't have left and they would be safe in the bunker.

"Do you want us to make a response?"

Dean asked casually. Gabriel's eyes flickered up to him.

"No, because I know what you are going to say. I've been a shit excuse for a husband."

Dean pressed his lips together to keep himself from talking. Gabriel meanwhile, rolled his eyes.

"Go ahead Dean before you explode."

Dean started all at once...

"Yeah, you kind of are. Your a decent dad though. I'll give you that. You just need to work on that temper that you have suddenly developed before you ruin Joy's impression on what a healthy relationship should be like. I know that I am not one to talk but your her dad and Molly is her mom. She watches you two more then you know. Do you really want your daughter thinking what you and Molly have is healthy?"

Gabriel shook his head looking down like a child that had been reprimanded by a parent.

"No, its worse than you think."

"What do you mean?"

Cas questioned.

"She asked me yesterday if I even loved Molly at all. Evidently she heard us having some words and you get the idea. Molly and I almost...ALMOST had our issues worked out. Like we actually sat down and talked then this. I lost my temper again."

Dean and Cas exchanged worried winces.

"For what its worth I like you better as a trickster."

Dean said with an innocent smile. Gabriel actually smiled at that.

"Yeah, so do I. I guess you can see why I left heaven now. Being an archangel isn't fun."

All three men instantly stopped talking upon hearing the sound of JoyAnna's feet coming down the stairs.

"Time to end this conversation."

Cas quickly stated as Joy walked in. She walked to Gabriel and climbed on his lap.

"Daddy, I had the weirdest dream last night."

Gabriel felt a sense of relief wash over him when Joy said those words. The poor kid thought everything was a dream! That could definitely work in his favor!

"Yeah?"

JoyAnna nodded as she reached out and pushed Gabriel's shirt away from his neck. Gabriel gave Cas, who was looking like he could panic, a wink.

"What are you doing, kiddo?"

JoyAnna leaned back giving Gabriel a careful look.

"Oh nothin...just looking for something."

When she didn't see any wounds on her father's shoulder, Joy slid off of his lap.

"I'm going to go play. It was just a dream. All good."

Once she was out of the room Dean turned back to Gabriel. The archangel looked satisfied that his little lie had appeased the child.

"Very smooth. That wouldn't have worked if she was older."

Gabriel shrugged. He stood up and started looking around for his jacket.

"Yeah, well right now I am the best thing since Swiss cheese to her and I can convince her all of that was a nasty dream. Can you two keep an eye on her? I just had a truly genius idea."

Cas shrugged.

"Sure, it isn't like I plan on going anywhere. What are you going to do?"

Gabriel turned with a smile.

"Going to see dear old dad and work my magic."

Before Dean and Cas could ask further questions the archangel had vanished. Dean turned to Cas with an eye roll.

"Dude, seriously The Bold and the Beautiful all the time around here!"

Seconds later, Gabriel stood in the middle of a sparsely decorated office. Chuck sat a few feet away typing away on a computer when he looked up. He was clearly surprised to see his youngest son and the condition that he was in.

"Gabriel, what are you doing here? You look awful!"

Gabriel smirked.

"Jeez thanks dad! I know I don't look up to my normal regal standards but thats what happens when your soulmate bond is literally ripped from you. You get this hollow feeling inside of you and feel like you like one of those 18 wheelers keep running you over."

Chuck winced. The icy cold expression on Gabriel's face instantly made Chuck regret in letting Amara have her way to fix problems.

"Is there anything that I can do? Its kinda sad seeing you like this. You were always the happiest of my archangels. Now you remind me of your brothers."

Gabriel laughed coldly.

"Oh you have no idea but yes you can fix mine and Molly's bond. You can also lock Amara's ass back up in the wherever. I've lost so much and I'm about to lose Molly for real. If you love me at all you'll do it."

Chuck stood giving him that parental look of contempt that being black mailed.

"Gabriel, are you really trying that with me. You haven't tried that since you were young."

Gabriel smirked.

"I figured screaming and kicking wouldn't do me much good. Although with JoyAnna has shown me some wonderful things that I should have done."

Chuck smiled.

"Ah those are the bonus I love dad days. Best days in the world...having to go behind you all cleaning up whatever it was you did."

Gabriel shook his head.

"Nah, it was Lucifer and I cleaning up each others mess then listening to Raphael and Michael bitch us out. I don't know where you were unless you wanted me to deliver messages of divine content."

Chuck looked a little taken back at that. He could clearly see that Gabriel was still hostile with him and there wasn't much that he could do to change that!

"I'll fix your bond. I can see now you much you truly love the nephilim."

Gabriel's golden eyes narrowed.

"Her name is Molly! If you are going to talk about her at least call her by name. Do you think she likes being referred to as a half breed?"

Chuck was quiet a moment.

"Son, like it or not, half breed is what she is. It seems to me that it is you that is uncomfortable with what you wife is. Molly seems perfectly fine with it."

Gabriel meanwhile, was trying to stop himself from exploding.

"You don't' know anything about her because you won't give her a chance. You won't get to know her or JoyAnna! Dad, you are so scared of them because you didn't fully create them! I'm perfectly fine with what Molly is. You don't know what it was like for her growing up as a nephilim. I do."

Chuck watched his son carefully. In all the millennia that the earth had been around, he never expected to see this amount of seriousness in his youngest archangel. However, here Gabriel stood completely proving him wrong.

"When you get home, your bond will be repaired."

A couple of hours later, Molly returned home after a rather eventful morning with Lucifer. After he took her out to breakfast to make sure that he "fed the human" he decided that he wanted to go to IKEA to mess with people. Molly stood watching him hide in random wardrobes before popping out to scare the shit out of people and the lingerie shopping.

"This is good fun."

He said with an excited smile earning a baffled expression from the nephilim beside him.

"You know Lucifer, I really wasn't expecting all of this. I expected you to be more...evil."

Lucifer shrugged.

"Well I can be. I can be a royal prick if I want but I can also have a good time. Where do you think Gabe got his skills from? We used to have a really good time."

Lucifer got a nostalgic expression on his face that made Molly feel guilty. Part of her was concerned with trusting him. The other part felt guilty. It was painfully obvious that he was missing his little brother and Gabriel wasn't making any effort in helping with that problem.

Walking into the kitchen, Lucifer turned back to Molly.

"I think I am going to go back out for some drinks maybe after that I will get an epiphany on how to deal with my kid in there."

Molly gave him an apologetic expression.

"Good luck with that. Lucifer thanks for everything today. That really did helped get me out of my head. I can talk to Jack if you want?"

Lucifer shook his head.

"Nah, I'll figure it out. I'm the king of darkness after all. If I can't figure this out I may be losing my touch. Later."

Lucifer vanished with a small wave. Molly meanwhile, turned and walked up the stairs it was time to put her genius plan into place...
