Family part 5
After the visit, Anathema had given them the number of a doctor that would not be surprised by their circumstances. He dealt with occultists regularly and wasn't phased by the idea of angels and demons actually existing. Crowley had called the next morning and was able to get an appointment for the same day.
The appointment went rather smoothly, aside from Aziraphale being a little overprotective for some strange reason. The biggest shock from the whole thing was finding out they were actually having twins. Aziraphale had nearly fainted when the doctor explained they were lucky it was only two given Crowley's serpent biology but she'd managed to calm him down.
"Twins." Aziraphale said quietly as they got into the car and started back to Tadfield. "Do you think we can handle twins?" He looked at Crowley who seemed far calmer than Aziraphale assumed she should be.
"Two of us against two of them. I think we'll be fine." She chuckled, keeping her eyes on the road.
"Right, of course." Aziraphale nodded and turned back to look out the window. He was more than a little scared. Not just because they were having twins but because their children would be the only ones of their kind. The doctor had called them daemons and had said they were simply folklore up to this point. He'd also explained that they would be born either male or female and would eventually grow into being more fluid in the gender department. Or so the lore told, anyway.
"Everything is going to be fine." Crowley said, reaching over to take Aziraphale's hand. She took a brief moment to kiss his knuckles before turning her eyes back to the road.
"How can you be so sure?" Aziraphale did smile a little bit at the kiss to his hand. He didn't understand how she could be so relaxed.
"She wouldn't have let this happen only for something to go wrong." Crowley had to believe that God wasn't that cruel. She wouldn't have given them these children just to take them away before they were born. She did notice Aziraphale relax a bit.
"I hadn't thought of that." He nodded and squeezed Crowley's hand gently. He'd lost a little bit of faith in God with the whole Armageddon situation but then he hadn't actually been speaking to God, had he? And she certainly would have done everything in her power to stop what was happening if she didn't want it to.
The drive back to the cottage was actually rather relaxing but Crowley was definitely happy to be home. As soon as they got inside, she texted Anathema about the appointment.
"I'm going to go take a shower." Crowley said before giving Aziraphale a little kiss on the lips. "Will you make some tea?" She put her hand flat against Aziraphale's chest and smiled sweetly at him.
"Of course, my dear." He kissed her again before heading to the kitchen. Once Crowley was in the shower, she stood there with the water running over her body, eyes closed.
"Please let everything be okay." She said softly. She'd wanted to stay strong for Aziraphale. One of them had to keep calm while the other one panicked. She was very worried, though. After a moment the room seemed to get a little bit lighter and there was a sense of calm that fell over Crowley. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, lifting her head a bit and smiling softly.
"Thank you." She whispered before completing her shower. Everything really was going to be okay.
