Chapter Text
Crowley,
I'm in a serious situation, and I think I need your help. You know that, after the war, I went to Daniels wife and son, to help them. You also know that those two bandits were getting in the way.
So I followed those bandits and they killed her. They killed his wife Crowley! She died for me, to save me from them. She died for me just like Daniel had.
Her last words to me were that I needed to make shure their son, Will, was safe, but I don't know what to do with him. He's just a few weeks old. I've thought of putting him in the Aralds orphanage, but I don't know if he'll be happy there.
I've thought of keeping him and I think I want to adopt him. Every time I look into his eyes... I can't describe it but I think he'll be safe with me right?
please respond quickly
Halt
Crowley got the letter only three days ago, but the moment he read it, he got Cropper and went to Halt's cabin, which he was standing in front of at the moment.
He knocked on the door. A moment later a tired-looking Halt opened the door.
"Oh Crowley! I wasn't expecting you!" He said with only a bit suprise in his voice.
"Well, as soon as you said you were in a serious situation, I knew I had to come," Said Crowley, walking inside. Halt didn't answer.
"So, where is he?"
Halt gestured to the door leading to another room. "He's in bed."
They both walked to the other room, and the moment Crowley looked at small Will, who woke up and immediately began crying.
"Why does he cry all the time?" Halt mumbled.
After a while they sat down on the couch toghether, Halt with Will in his arms. Crowley handed Halt his coffee and they just sat in silence for a while, sipping their coffee.
"I'd keep him if I were you," Crowley suddenly said.
"But what if I need to go on a mission?" Halt replied.
"He can stay with me. I'll be his funcle!"
Halt raised an eyebrow. "Funcle?"
"Fun-uncle. I'll babysit him while you're on your missions and we will do some fun things toghether!"
"But what if you also need to go on a mission?"
"You can leave him with Pauline right?"
It was silent for a minute, and then Halt replied: "Yes, I'll adopt him."
A few days passed. Crowley stayed in Redmont to help Halt with Will. Halt regularly had meetings with Baron Arald about adopting Will and who would care for him if everyone was on a mission. They came to the conclusion that when everyone was on a mission (what was not likely to happen) Will could stay at the ward with the other kids.
After a week, Will was officially Halt's child, and Crowley was his Funcle.
