- Bye sweetie, don't forget the olives please I'm craving them - says Aziraphale as he kisses the cheek of his partner, Crowley.
- Yes angel, I'll bring you those olives even if I have to look in every supermarket in London -after receiving the kiss on his cheek the redhead steals one of his lips to his partner, then, while getting into the Bentley he appreciated the image of his partner, shining in the door frame of the cottage they had rented ten months ago... and the way he carries that belly makes him more attractive, he was already eight and a half months and soon they would have their little boy or girl in their arms. Sighing in love Crowley sets off to go to town and bring the pantry as well as the cravings of his beloved angel.
The blond says goodbye to his demon and closes the door of the hut, rubbing his big belly and inhaling deeply the aroma of his temporary home.
When they found out that Azira's body was carrying another soul, fear was the first reaction, this was not supposed to happen, not especially if you are not a human but a supernatural being, of course there were tears and Aziraphale thought it was his fault for letting himslef be carried away by carnal pleasure, and is that the miracles to change sex and genitalia are minimal and almost imperceptible, therefore wanting to try something new the couple decided to change only their genitalia and only Aziraphale because he was very eager to feel the reactions of the clitoris, he had studied a lot of anatomy and knew that this organ had been created with a single function ... to give pleasure and having a human body they wanted to experience it, they decided not to change from their masculine to feminine aspect because they simply did not want it and perhaps, with the mist of pleasure and the adrenaline of doing something new they forgot the detail that their bodies, in part, are still human, then happened what happens after having a lot of unprotected sex and with certain types of kinks... Azira expected a small miracle from both of them.
Once the stage of fright and fear was over, the blond started to analyze the situation from head to toe, every pro and con and came to the most obvious conclusion, it's his baby and he was going to have it.... Crowley, although he was scared, would support his partner in everything and so he did, he was too happy when Azira told him "let's have this baby" because he imagined a little pale boy or girl with reddish hair and blue eyes like the sky... not to mention that the thought of Azira pregnant made him feel tender and at other times, it excited him.
When they both agreed the plan started and they needed to rent a cabin far from the city and with a considerable distance between neighbor and neighbor because they didn't want the curious people from the city to come and ask "what was" Aziraphale.... well yes, he looked masculine and was carrying a child in his belly, that called a lot of attention and not only from humans, but from heaven and hell, so a place far away in the comfort of nature would be fine, there they would go through pregnancy and the first months after childbirth, Crowley would go to the city from time to time to watch the book store and not raise suspicions.
The passing months were wonderful, although there were symptoms that neither of them enjoyed, they longed for those moments as it was part of a unique and unprecedented experience (at least for the angel) plus Crowley was in his element, pampering and indulging his angel in whatever he wanted, whatever he asked for. A hot tub with natural bath salts and a few rose petals? Granted, strawberry shortcake at 3 a.m.? Sure, and so many other things, of course on serious things like nausea and discomfort, Crowley would go out of his way to make his partner feel better.
As time went on the belly grew and Aziraphale wished for a baby shower as he has seen in movies and literature that it is common in humans... However, they could not perform a miracle to make his body look "normal" in front of possible guests, so Crowley took matters into his own hands. While the angel rested in the morning, the redhead took the opportunity to decorate the living room with baby things, he had bought presents and had to wrap them as gifts without miracles, foresight first of all, he took advantage of the fact that the angel slept soundly since he entered the second trimester so noise was not a problem, he bought cakes and pastries from a local bakery and prepared the best tea. When the angel wakes up he finds a change of new clothes on his chair in the room, with a happy smile he changes and when he gets to the living room his skin glows with happiness, he was so happy he cried and showered his partner's face with kisses, it was the best baby shower ever.
Entering the final trimester Azira's movement was minimal because it was difficult for him and walking like a penguin was not comfortable, they had planned to make a small miracle for the moment of delivery so that it would not take too long or in case there were complications, which was unlikely because the angel's body was in perfect condition and strong for the birth.
Now that hr was waiting for his husband he dedicated himself to clean the kitchen and organize his spices, his teas and the types of coffee that Crowley had bought, however as he moved more and more a discomfort in his belly became more and more noticeable, but he didn't think it was the delivery because there was still a little time to go before the 9 months of pregnancy... therefore he decided to stop the cleaning and go to his room to rest, in the middle of the way destiny made another decision and a hot liquid ran down the angel's legs.
- oh God... - Aziraphale watches as his pajamas get soaked while his mind goes blank, his partner was not at home and it would take time for him to get back, he was not prepared for today to be the delivery, but what can he do now... it has practically started and according to what he has read about childbirth is that once the water source breaks, there is no turning back.
The angel takes a deep breath and goes immediately to set up the bathroom, with difficulty he walks and drops the water in his big tub, they had planned a delivery in the tub but he doesn't know if he can alone, however he must be prepared, with the water ready Aziraphale takes off his pants and that's when the first shock of reality hits, the first contraction takes him by surprise and he must hold on to the wall to be able to stand and go through this wave of pain alone.
- Aahh... oh no, ah I can't just... Crowley, I need Crowley my God... - while begging for his partner, the house phone rings and at a slow and shaky pace Azira comes to the living room to answer it.
- Angel! What's wrong, I can feel something is happening - the redhead's voice sounds upset and with good reason.
- It's the baby Crowley... ah ah ah... it's coming, my water just broke - Azira's voice contained a bit of fear and excitement as on one hand they would meet their baby soon, but he didn't know how soon. - Crowley... are you far away from home? I need you, darling I won't be able to do it alone -
- Sh shh... I'm on my way, shit I can't do a miracle to go at the speed of light... they'd notice -
- Don't do it, we can't... ahh risk it... just drive carefully and try to get there safe and sound... -
- Yes yes, calm down, take a deep breath, remember what we saw and read about childbirth -
- It's very different to read about it than to go through it! - The contractions came and went like waves, but they were getting more intense and the rest time between each one was getting shorter.
Crowley put the phone on speaker and Azira made his phone able to be listened all the way to the bathroom, he could no longer stand for long and the water in the tub was warm, as soon as he touched the water hid body was able to relax a little.
The angel took a deep breath trying to relax as much as possible and wait for his partner to come to help him, he needed his support and he didn't like the idea of missing the labor and birth of his little one either.
- Aaah... Crowley! Where are you? Please... please I need you - and he didn't care that the other one was accelerating as fast as he could, he couldn't take it anymore, his body was asking him to push right now and he knew that when he started to push he wouldn't be able to stop until the baby was born.
- I'm here! - the voice could not be heard on the phone and the red-haired man could not stand to go in a "human" way on the road and used his demon powers to increase the speed of the Bentley so he could arrive in record time.
- Crowley... ah ah ah thank God I need to push please - the angel stretches out his hand for his partner to take it and immediately Crowley settles next to him taking his hand and kissing his cheek.
- You got it Aziraphale, you can do it, I'm already by your side... start pushing, squeeze my hand as much as you need to -
The angel nods his head and begins to push with all his strength, taking advantage of every contraction and taking advantage of his demon's abilities, abilities that Crowley had acquired in ancient times by pretending to be a midwife and even a nanny.
- That's it love, breathe easy... and push, now -
- Aahh! It's coming! - the angel's hands go between his legs underwater and the demon holds his partner tightly by the time he pushes again the angel will only have the strength to hold the baby and will not be able to stand on his own.
It took a few more pushes and finally Aziraphale took the baby in his arms and cradled his to her chest, feeling absolute happiness when his ears were delighted with the cry of the newborn, she had a pair of strong lungs.
- Aah... Crowley! It's a girl~
- Hello precious... ah... Welcome to the world... we are your parents, my little Eden... - Crowley let fall a couple of tears as he never thought that such a beautiful and perfect creature could have been created from him.
Carefully Crowley cut the umbilical cord and took the little one to dry her and wrap her in a clean and fresh cloth, meanwhile Aziraphale rested in the bathtub that although the water was a little dirty, it was still warm... he couldn't get up by himself either.
With Eden already in her crib, not crying and calm, the demon goes to his angel and helps him to stand up and wash himself with the shower, already in bed, Crowley had put a surgical diaper for when it is time to expel the placenta and the angel does not have to get up or go to the bathtub to expel it.
- mgh... honey, it feels weird...-
- I know, honey, I'm sorry... it's an uncomfortable process but it will pass, I swear -
The angel wished with all his soul he could snap his fingers and get the whole birthing thing over with, but it was still too dangerous, so he decides to go with the human experience and also let his partner take care of him.
Crowley helps his angel when the placenta comes out of him, he gets rid of it and goes to clean the body of his beautiful blond, when everything is calm Crowley goes for his daughter and takes her in his arms to take her to his angel.
- Look Aziraphale... here comes the little Eden.
- Oh my love... our little daughter- the angel extends his arms and takes the little bundle of joy, smiling immediately when he sees that the little hair she has is reddish like Crowley's, just as theu imagined.
Carefully Crowley helps the angel to settle and breastfeed the little one, who although she had calmed down, she was hungry and milk was indispensable... before such a scene Crowley could only sigh more in love than ever, on the cusp of happiness... seeing his angel breastfeeding his daughter was a work of art that he wanted to paint and put in a big picture in his living room... it was beautiful, all he wanted was this and at last he got it.
- Shh, quiet, little one... there's still a lot of milk-
- Gluttonous like you, angel...
- Oh... you're so funny, darling...
- I know, the funniest dad in the universe-
- Crowley... I wanted to thank you for this... for this house, for our reality and existence being magnificent, for Eden... without you I couldn't have done any of this and... ah I just wanted to thank you and tell you how much I love you, dear - the blond was very happy and felt the need to be grateful to the person he loves the most, being a mom and living in peace, owes a lot to him.
- Oh angel... there is no need to be thankful, in fact I still thank you for making me the happiest being in the universe... I love you angel, forever-.
- Forever and ever...
With a smile on his lips the demon kisses his partner tenderly, and then watches as his daughter has released the nipple and is ready to sleep.
- I think you should do the same, angel, I'll take care of both of you, I swear-".
- Thank you dear, ah... I'm really tired, wake me up when she wakes up.
- Yes angel, rest now.
Crowley kisses his partner's forehead and takes the little one to the crib, without tiredness, the redhead settles next to Azira in bed and watches the loves of his life sleep, he couldn't be happier.
