“It is good to see you again Cain.”

Cain glanced down at Lucifer and me. Our hands were still intertwined together.

“I see you’ve been doing more than keeping her safe.” Cain spared Lucifer a cautious glance.

Please don’t fight, please don’t fight, please don’t fight.

Lucifer squeezed my hand gently before he spoke,

“I have no Ill intentions regarding Catalina. She is the most important thing in my life and I will guard her life with my own.”

He took a single step towards Cain, releasing my hand,

“Now Gabriel, Raphael, and I will leave for a few moments and give you two some time to speak privately if you would like.”

Cain looked at me for a brief moment and then back to Lucifer,

“I would like that very much.”

Lucifer nodded his head,

“Very well, we’ll be just outside,” he said before turning back to me and placing a small kiss on my cheek,

“I’ll be right outside if you need me.”

I nodded my head at him. Thankful that he would give me and my father a moment to just.. Talk. To speak without an audience. To share a private moment twenty-five years in the making.

Slowly, Lucifer, Gabriel, and Raphael headed towards the front door. Softly shutting it behind them. I could see their vague silhouettes from the window as they rushed down the stairs and stood outside. Far away enough not to hear anything but still close enough to keep an eye on things.

“We have a lot to talk about.” My father said as he strode towards the kitchen, taking a seat at the island.

“Yes, we do.” I followed him, taking the seat across from him. I didn’t know exactly where to begin or how to start. I had so many questions running around in my head. So many questions that needed to be answered.

Would there be enough time to answer all my questions?

Did he even want to answer my questions?

Where the hell has he been all these years?

“I imagine you must have a ton of questions for me.”

“I do.”

“Where would you like to start?”

“From the beginning. Tell me everything.”

Lucifer’s POV

“They’ve been in there a long time,” Gabriel said as he continued to pace back and forth across the front yard.

“They have years to catch up on and they each probably have a thousand questions they want to ask each other,” I said as I leaned back against a tree, my gaze fully locked on the window, watching the two figures inside. Since we came outside they hadn’t stopped speaking and I had hoped that it was a good sign. Catalina went twenty-five years thinking someone else was her father, and now she knew the truth.

She must have so many damn questions.

“It’s been over thirty minutes-”
