Chapter Text
Chloe came in from her run on the beach, with Stella at her heels to find Lucifer arranging snacks. "Are we expecting someone?" He looked up and smiled. "Hello love. Yes, Daniel and Charlotte. He wants a favour."
"Dan does?"
"Mhmm."
"From you?" she said uncertainly. "Yes, of course. I'm the expert!" She narrowed her eyes. "The last time he asked for a favour it was because you'd spent the day torturing him." He held up his hands in surrender. "I'm completely innocent. I don't know what he wants this time."
"Okay. I'll just get a quick shower and change. Is Rory alright?" He nodded. "She's in her room, drawing. No doubt she'll finish it with yet more glitter." Chloe laughed. "You're probably right."
Chloe was just ready when Dan and Charlotte got there. Lucifer poured drinks, while they sat down in the living room. Chloe called, "Trix! Dad's here." Trixie's voice came back. "We'll be there in five minutes." Chloe sat down. She's helping Rory with her art."
"Also known as making sure the little monster doesn't glitter the entire room." Lucifer added. Dan laughed. "I remember that stage too well."
Charlotte said, "we wanted to ask if they would like to be bridesmaid and flower girl. What do you think Chloe?"
"I'm sure they'd love it. Definitely ask them."
"Ivy is bridesmaid too, I thought Rory could walk between them."
"That's a great idea," said Chloe, smiling. "Do you have a date yet?"
"Well, that's the other thing we wanted to talk to you about" said Dan. "Ah. The favour?" Lucifer said. Dan nodded.
Dan took Charlotte's hand. "We want to get married as soon as possible. Life is too short. We've both been shot and gotten a little to close to heaven or you know, the other place. So, we don't want to waste any more time."
"But" Charlotte said, "it's very difficult to get a venue on short notice, we were hoping you might know someone who could help?"
"Hmmm."
"Yes?"
"Thinking."
Rory charged into the room waving a page in the air, leaving the obligatory trail of glitter in her wake. Lucifer sighed. "Unca Dan!" She jumped onto the sofa between him and Charlotte to show her picture. It was of the three of them with Rory in the middle. "This is beautiful!" Charlotte said. "Thank you Rory, it's awesome" said Dan. "Trix helped me. She's sooo good at art." Trixie smiled. "Hi dad" putting her arms around his neck from behind the sofa. "Hey Monkey." They settled down to tuck into the snacks.
"How big do you want this wedding to be?" asked Lucifer. "Just a few family and friends, do you have any ideas?"
"I do. I have a place outside the city. Too far to commute to work and schools, but it might work for something like this. It's isolated enough to be private, plenty of rooms and outside space." Charlotte took Dan's hand. "It sounds perfect. Can we see it?" He thought. "We could drive up tomorrow." Rory piped up. "Can I come?"
"Yes, we'll all go," said Chloe. Rory cheered. "Even Walter?" Chloe nodded. "We certainly can't go anywhere without Walter" said Lucifer. She jumped up on his lap and kissed him. "Do I know Walter?" asked Charlotte. Rory ran off and returned holding her blue stuffed unicorn above her head. "Walter!"
"Well, hello Walter, aren't you handsome" said Charlotte. Rory giggled and hugged her toy tightly.
Trixie was taking charge of the chocolate snacks. "Trix," said Dan, "we want to ask you to be bridesmaid along with Ivy." Trixie beamed at them and hugged her dad. "I'm in!"
"Would you like to be a flower girl, Rory?" asked Charlotte. Rory looked confused and turned to her sister. "Flower?" Trixie grinned. "You get to dress up and throw flower petals at the wedding." Rory's mouth made a silent O shape. "Yes please!" She grinned widely and decided a celebratory dance with Walter was in order.
"Who are you having as best man, Dan?" asked Chloe. "I don't know, my best friend has a new job and I can't exactly just ask God to be my best man."
"Rubbish, of course you can. He's just sitting around on a throne all day. I mean obviously I'd be a much better choice, but if boring is what you desire." Lucifer put his hands together. Chloe was just shaking her head. "Amenadiel, get your ass down here if you wouldn't mind." Chloe was giving him a flat look. "Eh, please" giving her a cheeky smile.
Amenadiel appeared thirty seconds later. He could just materialise since he'd become God and didn't even need to bother with wings. "See, told you he wouldn't busy."
"Well, since you asked so nicely Luci" he said folding his arms. "Hi everyone." Rory rushed at him. "Unca A!" He bent down and scooped her up. "Hello little one" smiling at her.
Dan stood up. He rubbed the back of his neck like he did when he was nervous. "Charlotte and I, we're getting married and I know you have a lot going on, but I wondered if you could be my best man?" Amenadiel gave him a wide smile. "I would love to and congratulations!" Chloe watched the bear hug in front of her and muttered, "my ex-husband has a bromance with God." Lucifer leaned close, "you're welcome."
Next day they arrived at Lucifer's property. "I used to use this place for parties. Take a look around." Dan and Charlotte wandered off hand in hand. "It's beautiful here" said Chloe, "I think I have an idea."
"Yes?"
"Yeah, I'll talk to Charlotte."
When the girls had run off to explore, Chloe said, "Do you miss it? All those parties, all the..." Lucifer wrapped his arms around her from behind, hands on her stomach. He lowered his head to her ear. "No. None of those people cared about me. I never imagined back then, that I could be married to the love of my life, with a daughter as well as a step urchin." She relaxed back against him. He sighed. "I've never been happier."
"Um, Lucifer." He looked up. "Oh!"
Rory was there, face screwed up in concentration, wings flapping furiously and hovering six inches above the ground. "Seems it's time to be thinking about flying lessons." Chloe was lost for words.
