family part 6
The problem with having twins, Crowley noticed, was that you got bigger faster than if it was just one child. She had just entered her second trimester and she already looked like she was about seven months along. It seemed like every other day she'd had to miracle an extra size into her clothes. And then there was Aziraphale's reaction to her growing belly.
Every single night she was awakened by his hand resting on her belly. Especially since she was only able to sleep on her side now. She could sleep through an entire century but she was awakened easily by just a simple touch. Anathema had explained that it was the maternal instinct. It was the beginning of preparing to be woken up by any tiny little sound the baby made. She just wished that Aziraphale wouldn't insist on touching her belly so often.
"Darling." Aziraphale said as Crowley came down the stairs after a nap. He'd stayed downstairs to read and to start dinner.
"Yes, my love?" Crowley said with a smile. She tried to remember that his attentiveness stemmed from being protective of her and the babies. That he was doing it out of love, not to be frustrating.
"You're wearing different shoes." He bit his lip as he got up and came over to the stairs. The look on Crowley's face was enough to get him to just miracle the shoes the same so that she didn't have to try to go back and change shoes.
"This is only going to get worse." Crowley said with a little sob as she finished going downstairs. Aziraphale started to move in for a hug. "You won't be able to get your arms around me." She sniffled.
"I promise I can." Aziraphale said with a smile and moved around behind Crowley. Not only did his fingers touch but he could overlap a little bit. He kissed her neck softly and smiled. "See? You're not that big at all." Crowley put her hands over Aziraphale's.
"I'm sorry that I'm getting so emotional." She sighed and leaned back against him a little bit. Aziraphale just held onto her, kissing her shoulder.
"You have nothing to apologize for, my love." He smiled. "You're growing two beings inside you, Crowley. That's not easy." He kissed her shoulder again. "Now, how about I make some tea and then I massage your feet while we watch a movie?"
"Have I told you that you're the best husband ever?" She asked before turning in his arms and giving him a kiss on the lips.
"Not today, no." He chuckled softly, giving her another kiss. "But I appreciate the sentiment." He leaned down gave her belly a quick kiss before going to make the tea.
