Party?
Lucifer chuckled,
“You know I am not one for celebrations.”
“But this time we have a reason to celebrate. You’re finally coming home!”
“My homecoming is not a reason.”
“It’s not just your homecoming we would be celebrating Lucifer.”
Lilith said as they all glanced at me.
Shit.
“We would be celebrating our Queen’s homecoming as well,” Azazel responded
“How did you all figure out about Catalina?”
Abaddon chuckled, as she nudged Lilith, Who in return rolled her eyes back at her.
“You think this one didn’t run and tell every single person in Hell that you would finally find someone.”
Lilith’s lips tilted up in a slight smile as Abaddon continued,
“Hell’s most eligible bachelor would finally be off the market.” Lucifer smiled before he looked back at me and I could see the question lingering in his eyes, hope and a silent plea rested within that small gaze.
“We will leave you two to care for Gabriel, we shall see you both very soon,” Lilith responded and the four of them bowed one final time before disappearing, a wall of shadows covering them until nothing and no one remained. Leaving Lucifer and me alone in the living room.
“When do you think Gabriel will fully recover?” I asked him.
I wouldn’t just leave Gabriel as he was healing. He needed help. He was always there to help me when I needed him and I damn well was going to be here for him. Plus Micheal was still out there, I wasn’t going to leave him alone while Micheal was still free, still able to attack when Gabriel was at his weakest.
“I’d say he’d start feeling better tomorrow and probably will fully recover in three days.”
That quickly?
“So where do we go in three days?” I asked.
“Do you wish for us to stay here?”
“You’re allowed to go home now.” He should go home. He hadn’t been home in centuries and should go. It’s where he belonged and I guess in a way a part of myself belonged there as well.
Lucifer smiled and placed a hand on my cheek,
“Home is wherever you are Catalina.” He spoke before gently placing a soft kiss on my lips.

Lucifer’s POV
“Did you find him?” I asked Raphael as he landed beside me on the outdoor balcony adjacent to mine and Catalina’s room. She had been up all night taking care of Gabriel, making sure he was still breathing and was comfortable. I tried multiple times throughout the evening and night to get her to rest but she insisted that she was fine. She finally decided to head to bed around four in the morning. It was currently seven and I knew it would be awhile before she woke. She needed the rest and so did I. Raphael apparently did not have the same idea, So before he could wake up Catalina I rushed my ass outside before he landed and possibly woke her up, putting us all in danger. Catalina hated being woken up when she wasn’t ready. She would be…cranky, but even that was too simple a word for what she was like.
“I did, he’ll be here around noon.”
Five Hours.
Five hours and Catalina would finally get to meet her father. Five hours to prepare her for whatever might come. Five hours to figure out what to say.
