Chloe woke up in her bed at the penthouse for the first time after moving in. She'd had a wonderful night's sleep. She'd decided to keep the bed Lucifer had provided her with, and she was glad she did because it was very comfortable.

Chloe got up and made her way out of the room to wake up Trixie, but as soon as she stepped outside her room, she heard her daughter's laughter coming towards the kitchen. She could also smell the aroma of bacon. Apparently, Lucifer had decided to cook breakfast.

Chloe went into the kitchen and found Lucifer putting plates of food on the table while Trixie sat patiently.

"HI, Mommy," Trixie said.

"Morning, Monkey. It looks like you were up even before me this morning," Chloe said.

"Yeah, I smelled Lucifer cooking," Trixie said.

"Good morning, Detective. Please sit," Lucifer said as he pointed to a spot at the table where he'd already placed a plate filled with bacon, eggs, and toast.

"Thank you," Chloe said before sitting down and digging into her breakfast.

Lucifer went and grabbed his plate before joining them at the table. "I trust you slept well, Detective?"

"Extremely so. How about you, Monkey?" Chloe asked as she took a bite of her eggs.

"Uh huh. I love my room. It's so much bigger than my old room and the bed was really comfy," Trixie said.

"Of course, it is. I wouldn't allow anything but the best," Lucifer said.

"Well, we appreciate all that you have done. We're grateful that you asked us to live here with you," Chloe said.

"Yeah, it's so much more fun here already," Trixie said.

"Of course."

"Okay, Trixie, we have eat quickly. We have a few extra minutes this morning, but we still have work and school," Chloe said before turning to Lucifer. "I'll see you at the station later, right?"

"What? No, we should drive together," Lucifer said. He did not like the idea of the detective leaving by herself. Who knew when Kinley might show up or what he might do? Currently, there was no reason to believe that Kinley knew about the child the detective was carrying, but they didn't know that for certain, and ever if the bastard didn't know, Lucifer wouldn't put using the detective against him past the man.

Chloe wasn't all that surprised by Lucifer's reaction. He'd been very protective since finding out about Kinley. When he wasn't with her, he usually made sure Maze was. Not that he needed to. Maze was pretty insistent on not letting Chloe out of her sight without Lucifer's say so. As much as she appreciated their concern, it was becoming a little much. "Lucifer, I will be fine driving into work."

"But it's better to stay together. We can take your care to drive the child to school and then go to the station," Lucifer said.

"Uh, Trixie, go get changed and get your stuff ready for school please," Chloe told her daughter.

Trixie nodded before getting up and heading for her room.

"Listen, I know you're worried. So am I, but you have to back off a little. I will be fine driving to work," Chloe told Lucifer calmly.

"You don't know that. You don't know how much this priest knows or what he's willing to do. He's already unknowingly threatened you and the child you're carrying," Lucifer said.

"Yes, and I agree we need to stay alert and close together. That's why I agreed it was a good idea to move in together, but there is such a thing as being too cautious. If we react too cautiously, we might just alert Kinley that something is going on. Besides, right now, there's no reason to believe he knows I'm pregnant," Chloe said. She whispered the last part just in case Trixie was nearby.

"But we don't know for sure he doesn't. And what if he just decided to go after you to get to me?" Lucifer asked.

As much as she wanted to, she couldn't tell Lucifer he was wrong about that theory. They both knew little about Father Kinley. All they knew was that he would do anything to send Lucifer back to Hell. So, he very well might be willing to use her to do that. "We still have to live our lives. We have to have some sort of normalcy. I'm going to take Trixie to school and then meet you at the station."

The firmness in her voice told Lucifer that the detective wasn't going to back down. He supposed she was right anyway. It wouldn't do to let this bastard dictate how they lived. "Allow me to take the child to school then. That way you only have one place to go."

"Are you sure?" Chloe asked.

Lucifer nodded.

"Okay," Chloe said before finishing the rest of her breakfast quickly.

About an hour later, Chloe walked into the station and headed for her desk. She found Ella and Dan standing a few feet away from her desk.

Ella spotted her right away. "Hey, Chloe."

"Hey, Ella," Chloe greeted back.

Dan glared at her for a minute and walked away.

Ella walked over to Chloe. "Hey, feel free to tell me to mind my own business, but are you and Dan having problems?"

"Yeah, that's understating things actually. We got into it over Trixie and it got really ugly. I just hope there are no more incidents like it," Chloe said.

"I'm really sorry, but I think Dan is just still dealing with Charlotte's death," Ella said.

"I get that, and I've been patient, but when he questions my parenting and threatens to take me to court, I get a little less patient," Chloe said.

"Whoa! It went that far. Okay, that's messed up, but you don't think he'd really do that, do you?" Ella asked.

"No, because it wouldn't work out well for him," Chloe said.

Just then, a uniformed officer came over. "Hey, Decker, there someone waiting for you by the entrance."

"Okay, thanks," Chloe said before heading back the way she came. She reached the main desk and found Father Kinley waiting.

"Hello, Chloe."

"What do you want?" Chloe asked coolly.

"I can understand you not wishing to see me after out last encounter," Father Kinley said.

Chloe walked over to the door and motioned for Kinley to follow, which he did. "You mean when I walked in on you trying to convince Lucifer that I was plotting against him while you were trying to save him. You'll be disappointed to learn it didn't work."

"I apologize for that, but you must understand that I have to do whatever it takes to neutralize the Devil," Father Kinley whispered.

Chloe chose to ignore his comments on Lucifer, knowing that nothing she said would change anything, and that this was the wrong place for it. "I'll ask again, what do you want? You already know I won't help you."

"Yes, you've made that quite clear. I even here you've moved in with him. I fear that will be a very large mistake," Father Kinley told her.

"I don't care what you think, Father. Though, I wonder how you knew that. Are you following me?" Chloe asked.

"I am following the Devil. In fact, I watched him leave just this morning with your young daughter. Is that not a bit reckless of you to allow?"

Chloe glared at him. The fact that he was watching her daughter, even if just because he was watching Lucifer, pissed her off. "Stalking is a crime."

"Perhaps, but I don't answer to men. I answer to God," Father Kinley said, unashamed.

"Is that so? You do realize that Lucifer is God's son, right? His favorite, in fact. You're so sure that God wants you to send his son to hell, but maybe he's on Lucifer's side," Chloe said.

Father Kinley chuckled as if the idea was preposterous. "Is that what you tell yourself to justify your alliance to Lucifer? Does it make you feel better?"

"Actually, I don't care either way. I've lived most of my life believing God was nothing more than a myth. I see no reason to care what he thinks now. I'm simply making a point. God is a parent. I know what I'd do if someone tried to hurt my child. It's just something to think about," Chloe said.

"Get away from her!"

Chloe looked over and saw that Lucifer had entered the precinct. "Hey, it's okay. I believe Father Kinley was just leaving."

"For now," Father Kinley said.

"If I find out you're following us again, I will arrest you," Chloe warned.

Father Kinley paid her no mind as he left.

"He was following you?" Lucifer asked.

"You actually. Come on, we can talk about it later," Chloe said before leading the way back towards her desk.
