Chapter 1
"Goodbye"
And with a rush of his once again white wings he was gone. Chloe stood there staring there staring at the now vacant spot tears streaming down her face. Would she ever see Lucifer again? Her heart ached with a pain she had never felt before, even with Dan it was nothing like this. Her mind started to race as pain turned to plan. Chloe took a deep breath and looked to the sky her tears drying up.
"I will get him back, one way or another, even if I have to go to Hell myself."
-Three Months Later-
After Lucifer's return to Hell, Mazikeen decided to take up a new role as Chloe's helper on cases. One day two weeks after everything happened one of LUX's many lawyers approached the duo while on a case and dropped the deed to LUX in Chloe's hand along with a long list of owed "favors" to Mazikeen that was titled to 'The Proprietor of LUX'. The lawyer then explained that every profit made by LUX and every property owned by Lucifer Morningstar was left to Chloe Decker upon the death or Disappearance of their owner on the stipulation that all business operations are ran by Mazikeen Smith. As the lawyer walked away from the duo Chloe walked to her car. Two hours later she had officially resigned from the precinct and Dan had taken over all her cases. The week after she and Trixie had moved into the penthouse at LUX and reopened the doors to the club. Little by little Chloe told Trixie the truth about Lucifer and how it wasn't a fantasy or a metaphor, and how she loved him, and this was just a steppingstone to getting him back. Slowly business began to slowly boom again, and Chloe began to feel as if things were starting to get back to normal, but she still didn't have a plan. She needed help, and the kind of help only Mazikeen and Amendiel could provide.
So that's how we got to today, three months after Lucifer left. Chloe is the new club owner of Lux with maze as her best friend, and closest ally. Downstairs is the biggest party that the club has thrown since the reopening and she is expected to be downstairs for the masquerade. She looks at the interact lace little devil horn masquerade masque Mazikeen had made for her and feels a tear threaten to fall. Even something so simple reminds her of him, but then again, every night she goes down into that club reminds her of him as well. Chloe looks up and into the full-length mirror and takes in her image. Her sleeveless gemmed midnight blue mermaid tail dress is a stark contrast to her ivory skin and she just knows that Lucifer would be drooling over it. Her hair is in a high ponytail with cascading curls, and she even has makeup on. She defiantly fits the club vibe now a days. She chuckles and the tear that was threatening to fall finally does.
For a moment she wonders if she could do this, if she could continue to play this part for him until he got back. Chloe shook her head, no she had to do this. Tonight, was just another night like every other one. She had to keep his home prospering until he came home, she just had to. No matter how long it took. Another tear fell. The Truth was she missed him, she missed Lucifer more then she could put into words. She wiped the escaped tear rom her cheek and took a calming breath just as Trixie came into her room.
"Hey mommy? Can I go down to the club today with you? I want to see Maze do the thing with the vodka and the fire."
"No Trixie. Its supposed to be super busy tonight. How about you ask Maze to show you the flaming vodka thing, from a very safe distance, when theres no customers?"
"But that's no fun!"
"Maybe, but it's safe."
"Fine, so any ideas on how to bring Lucifer back yet? I really miss him mommy."
"I miss him too sweetie. I'm not quite sure how yet but I will find a way to bring him home I promise."
"Promise mommy?"
Chloe enveloped her daughter into a tight hug just to stop herself from crying.
"I promise."
She pulled away from her daughter and looked at her smiling. This endeavor was not just about bring Lucifer home, it was also about making Trixie happy. Just had to bring him home no matter what the cost. She was just about to stand up when there was the tell-tale ding of the elevator signaling a visitor. Confused and not expecting anyone Chloe looked up and saw Amendiel with a frown.
"Hey Trixie, go to your room for a little bit okay?"
"Do I have to?"
"Yes Trixie."
"Okay."
Trixie ran to her room and Chloe motioned to the couch for Amendiel to sit.
"I haven't heard from you since I told you what I was hoping to do. I was worried you didn't agree."
"On the contrary Chloe, I was looking for information."
"Did you find something?"
Amendiel sighed and rubbed his face in a long purposeful stroke.
"I did but I don't think you will like it Chloe. Lucifer could realistically leave Hell at any time. He's doen it plenty of times in the past. That's not the problem this time. The problem is the power vacuum that will open if he does this time. This time the demons, the children of Lillth, know that he has no intention of returning. If he returns, who will rule Hell? It can't be a demon, it has to be an Angel, or at least a half angel. I went to the Silver City to see if there was a way around it and theres only one. A replacement, and there are none willing currently alive. But there is still hope. While I was in the Silver City, I did some research on Miracles. Miracles are free to travel between the Silver City and Hell and they please if they have a way to get there, for example if an angel takes them there. And just like the offspring of an angel and a mortal is still an angel the offspring of a miracle and a mortal is still a miracle."
"So basically, he's stuck in Hell, but me and Trixie can go to him?"
"For now."
"What do you mean for now?"
"Should you and Lucifer ever bear a child, an heir to take over his throne, he would be able to leave. Should he want to"
"But he wouldn't…"
"Maybe not, especially while the child was young and impressionable, however he could."
"Also, miracle or not I'm just human, I would die way before any leaving could happen."
Amendiel just chuckled and shook his head.
"If you really think you're 'just human' Chloe Decker."
Chloe nodded and took a deep breath looking at the spot where Lucifer disappeared from. Then she smiled ready and prepared finally with a plan.
"Get Maze and LUX's Lawyers. We need to prepare and let everyone know what's going on."
"Are you sure about this Chloe? You would be gone for years."
"I love him Amendiel. I would do anything to be with him, to bring him home."
