Chapter 176
Kid

I had to be on my own, I needed to process what was said and the fact that he wanted to be part of my life.  I get what Lucifer is saying but will I be able to allow him into my life after so many years.  I know I shouldn’t blame him but a part of me want to blame him. He should have come and looked for me when my mom and dad died, he should have been my father then. 

I was standing under the hot water letting it flow over my body when the realistic side of my brain kicked in.  If I promised Lucifer something I would stick with it forever and that is exactly what Heath did, he promised my mom and dad he would never go looking for me and he didn’t, it was Gabriel and now he is giving me the option of having him in my life which was probable nice of him.  He didn’t just assume I would want him part of my life he was giving me an option a way out if I wanted it.  I got out of the shower dried myself and went to the vanity to do my hair and make-up, I still couldn’t get Heath out of my head or the feeling I felt when he held me, the feeling of home and feeling safe. Am I ready to give that up? After I just found it. Will I ever be ready to give that up? And I knew the answer is no, I wanted Heath a part of my life I was actually craving that. 

Yes, Lucifer give me more than enough love and safety but a father’s love is probable something different and I really want to experience that.  When I was ready in my jeans, jersey and sneakers I found Lucifer at the window talking on the phone.  I left him to it and went to get myself another cup of coffee.  While I sat there listening to Lucifer I wondered if I will have to convince him again about having children I mean after what Heath said I could see his face drop and I really didn’t want to fight about that but I decided one big decision per day is enough today is just me deciding about Heath and I think I already did.

Lucifer

While Kid was in the shower, I had a call from Seattle talking about a leakage in the apartment.  I immediately send Edward to check if it was just a leakage and if it was sabotage, after the conversation with Heath I was probable being paranoid but I needed to know.  I didn’t really make enemies over the years I stayed out of everyone’s business and if I liked you, I would help you grow with me in my galleries and help you become a millionaire but there might be vampires that is jealous of those I helped I never thought about that until Heath said I was crazy if I think Gabriel, was my only enemy. 

So, while Kid had her worries about bringing Heath into our lives I was worrying about who I will be bringing into hers that might want to hurt her.  I hope she will choose to have Heath part of her life because it means another vampire to look after her.  I know she has the protection spell and no one will be able to come near her but there are other ways of hurting her.  I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn’t even notice her coming out of the room.  When I turned around and saw her sitting on the couch, I was surprised and she could see it on my face.

“What’s wrong Lucifer problems in Seattle?”  I walked over to sit with her.  “Just a leakage at the apartment I think I should get my realtor to get us a bigger place, a house maybe.”  She looked surprised.  “You love your apartment.”  “I did but with everything that happened there I think we will be better off in a new place and if there is a leakage now, there will be more in the future and I’m not a patient man dealing with maintenance issues at home.”  She sat closer to me and touched my leg.  “I’ll deal with maintenance at the house or penthouse.”  “No love that is not your job.”  I saw her bite her lip it looked like she wanted to say something.  “What?”  I asked her.  “No nothing.”  “Kid it’s all over your face, what?”  “Maybe we can make Heath the maintenance guy.”  That surprised me a little.  “You saying you want him part of your life?”  She looked passed me and then focus on me again like she was thinking about it again.  “I think I do.”  “You do know if I make him the maintenance person his going to have to stay with us if I get a big enough house.”  “What about the Penthouse?”  “I’ll ask Heath to fix that when we are out but if we get a big house on the lake, I will get a place with a separate house on the premises where Heath, Angel and Niki can stay in.”  “That sounds good but you think he will work for us?”  I looked at her shocked because she was talking about us and not ‘will he work for you?’ “I’m sure if we offer him the job he might take it, I mean he will be close to you the whole time.  “The question is will you be okay with him under your nose the whole day?” 

“We do have a lot of making up to do.”  She said looking down.  “Don’t feel assume that you want to know him Kid, you do have a lot of years to make up for.”  “I know it just feels weird.”  “I get it. It’s going to be weird for me to.”  “But you are okay with that?”  “Off course I am Kid I wouldn’t have agreed with you if I had a problem.”  “So, your paths never crossed?”  “It did but nothing of significant.  We know each other or should I say know of each other that is it.”  “No hard feelings between you?”  “No Heath did know about my reputation but I did tell him you are different and he was okay with it. Especially when I said we are engaged.”  “Okay just want to make sure you are not enemies.”
