Chapter Text
Aziraphale and Crowley held their daughter’s hands as they entered the park. It was not a full sunny day but it was not a gloomy one either. Everyone needed to get out of the house for a bit. Both Crowley and Leah were wearing sunglasses. As they walked over to the benches, from the corner of her eye, Leah noticed a girl sitting in the grass, playing with an action figure. As they reached the benches, there were two other men sitting on a bench next to the one where Aziraphale and Crowley decided to sit at after letting go of their child’s hands. Leah placed her bag next to Aziraphale and grabbed her action figure from the bag.
”I am going to got play in the grass over there.” Leah said to her parents as she quickly pointed over to show them where she was going to be.
“Alright, sweetheart. You go have fun! If you need anything, we will be right here.” Aziraphale said to her.
”Okay, Mommy.” Leah said back to him and then walked over to the place where she going to go play. Crowley kept looking at the couple next to them. Aziraphale looked over at his husband.
”Crowley, dear? Are you alright?” Aziraphale asked. Crowley turned his head to look at Aziraphale.
“I am okay. I was just looking around.” Crowley replied as he suddenly looked over at their daughter. Leah was walking towards another little girl with her action figure. All four men were looking at the two children. The little girl who was already playing looked up at the other girl coming over to her. When Leah stopped walking, she felt nervous to suddenly speak. She was not used to talking to other people, especially other kids her age. The other little girl smiled at her as she noticed Leah’s action figures.
”You like Marvel, too?!” The little girl asked Leah with excitement in her voice. Leah was a little startled but calm. She nodded back in response to the little girl’s question.
“Wanna play with me? I do not mind!” The little girl asked Leah another question and suggested. Leah smiled and nodded. She sat in the ground next to the other girl and the two of the, began to play together with their action figures. Aziraphale and Crowley worried about something going wrong but so far, everything seemed going fine. The other two men were not worried.
”Is that your daughter?” A voice suddenly spoke from next to Aziraphale and Crowley. Aziraphale and Crowley looked to the right of them. The two men were now looking at the two entities.
“Hmm?” Crowley piped up. The curly haired one smiled.
”Is she your daughter? The one playing with other girl?” The man asked another couple of questions. Aziraphale nodded.
”Yes. She is our daughter. Is the other little one your child?” Aziraphale replied and then asked them.
”Yes. That is my husband and I’s child. How old is she?” The man replied and then asked them.
”Six years old.” Crowley replied.
”Ah! So is our Cybil!” The blond haired man next to the curly haired one replied. The four of them started to become more curious with one another.
”What are your names?” The curly one asked.
”My name is Aziraphale and this is my husband, Crowley.” Aziraphale answered. The curly one nodded.
”I am Sherlock and this is my husband, John. Is your daughter adopted?” Sherlock asked them. Crowley shook his head.
”No. I gave birth to her. That’s why she calls me “mommy” or “mama”...if you both overheard that.” Aziraphale replied and explained. Crowley noticed that Sherlock and John did not react to that.
”You are not surprised by that, are you?” Crowley asked. Both of them shook their heads.
“Not at all! It is possible nowadays for that to happen.” John replied. Crowley nodded. The four men kept on talking to one another as they watched their children.

Back in the grass, Leah and the other little girl were now sitting in the grass. Leah was curious about the other little girl.
”So...what is your name?” Leah asked her.
”Cybil. What is your name?” Leah asked her.
”Cybil. Yours?” Cybil answered then asked her a question.
”Leah but my actually name is Leah Marie but I prefer just Leah.” Leah said back to her. Cybil has a thought pop up in her head.
”Can I ask you another question about something?” Cybil asked Leah. Leah nodded.
”I hope that I do not make you sad or anything but..how come you are wearing sunglasses when there is not a lot of sun out?” Cybil asked her. Leah was not sad or offended about her question.
”Because of my eyes.” Leah answered.
”Are you able to see?” Cybil asked yet another question.
”I can see fine. It...it is just my eyes look weird.” Leah told her.
”Weird? In what way?” Cybil asked another two questions. Leah was not afraid to tell her.
”I don’t normal eyes. My eyes are not..human.” Leah explained to her.
“Can I see? Please? I promise I will not say anything negative!” Cybil asked Leah. Leah was a bit hesitant but yet, she felt a bit comfortable around Cybil, which is rare for her. Leah turned her head towards Cybil and took off her glasses for her. When the glasses were off, Leah blinked a couple of time, trying to adjust to the lighting. Cybil’s eyes widened in shock but she also smiled at the same time.
“WOW! THAT IS SO COOL! I really like your eyes!” Cybil exclaimed happily. Leah’s eyes also widened in shock to Cybil’s reaction.
”You are not scared of my eyes? Not even a little bit?” Leah asked her. Cybil shook her head.
”No! I think they are neat, not scary!” Cybil replied to her. Leah smiled at her. That made her feel happy.
“You won’t mind if I do not wear my sunglasses around you?” Leah asked another question.
”Whatever makes you comfortable! I do not mind that at all!” Cybil answered.
”Thanks! I get them from my Dad. Him and I have the same kind of eyes. Would you like to see?” Leah said back to her and then asked. Cybil happily nodded a couple of times. Leah got up from the ground as she grabbed her action figure after putting her sunglasses back on.
”Come with me!” Leah told her. Cybil and Leah walked over to their parents. When the two little girls arrived to the benches where both sets of their parents were, Leah stood in front of her parents with Cybil to one of the sides of her.
”Is there something you needed, dear?” Aziraphale asked Leah. Leah nodded then looked at Crowley. Leah walked over to him as Crowley bent down so Leah whispered in his ear. After several seconds, Crowley looked at Leah and smiled. He nodded at her.
”Of course, sweetheart.” Crowley told her. Leah walked back over to Cybil. Aziraphale looked over at Crowley as he took off his sunglasses then looked at Cybil. Cybil let out a happy squeal. Sherlock and John looked Crowley, curious why their daughter just made that sound. When John caught a glimpse of Crowley’s eyes, he was taken back a bit but he was not afraid. Sherlock looked at his husband.
”John?” Sherlock asked him. John snapped out of it. He felt a little embarrassed as he saw everyone looking at him.
”I apologize for my reaction. I was just surprised. I did not mean to seem or anything.” John explained for what just happened.
“Do not worry. This is not the first that happened and it will not be the last.” Aziraphale told them. Crowley agreed with his angel. Leah took off her sunglasses to show Cybil’s parents as well so her daddy was not alone in this. Sherlock smiled.
”I see that your daughter and you are alike in a few ways, physically.” Sherlock to Crowley after he saw her eyes and then looked at Crowley once again. Crowley nodded.
”She is but she is mostly more like my husband. In many ways.” Crowley said back to him. All of a sudden, Cybil’s growled so loud that everyone around her could hear it.
”Awe. Someone seems like they are hungry.” John spoke to her. Cybil nodded. Sherlock suddenly an idea. He looked over at Crowley and Aziraphale.
”Would you like to join us for lunch?” Sherlock asked them. The two entities looked at their daughter.
”Are you hungry, Leah?” Aziraphale asked her.
”Yes. My tummy is rumbling, too.” Leah replied back to him. Crowley smiled at Sherlock and John.
”Well, it looks like that we will be joining you for lunch.” Crowley said to him, giving him their answer. Sherlock and John smiled then looked at Cybil.
”Would it be okay if they joined us?” John asked Cybil. Cybil smiled and nodded back.
”Yes!” Cybil replied. Leah was a little worried about eating in front of people she barely knew but as long as her parents are there with her, she felt like that she will not have a problem with that. The six of them gather their things and left the park. Cybil and Leah walked next to each other the entire way there. Aziraphale and Crowley walked along with Sherlock and John down the streets and spoke next to one another. They decided on eating at a little diner that was not far from the park. Aziraphale looked at his daughter, who was talking to Cybil about an Marvel movie that she saw recently.
He was happy to see his daughter making a friend. Hopefully, Leah has made a friend. The last thing either Crowley and Aziraphale want is for their daughter to get her heart broken because it can be hard for her to open up at times. May be eating lunch with them will help her open up and get to know Cybil a little more as well. Aziraphale does want her to just go at her pace, of course. There was no need to rush it. Crowley felt the same way about their daughter, too. All they wanted was for her to be happy. And so did Sherlock and John for when it comes to Cybil.
