Chapter 2,

Adam liked the thought of having godfathers, though he didn't really know what they were suppose to do. But he suggested they all go down to the ice cream shop together to help them get to know each other better. Crowley wasn't sure it was a good idea, but since Aziraphale rarely declines ice cream, he didn't have much of a choice but to tag alone. He didn't want Aziraphale to get into trouble after all. Anathema and Newt were very understanding about it.

"Antichrist, I can't believe you want to have ice cream with two strangers who tried to kill you." Crowley said.

"Adam, Crowley. His name is Adam." Aziraphale corrected.

"Whatever." Crowley groaned.

"Well, you thought I was evil. Once I gave the angel his body back, you knew I didn't want to destroy the earth, and you knew I wasn't bad." Adam said and Aziraphale smiled.

"Once again, thank you. After 6,000 years I have grown accustom to the way this one feels." Aziraphale said and Crowley muttered under his breath and moved his head dramatically to match what he was saying, though no one heard him.

"You're welcome." Adam said.

"Come now, Crowley. Adam did a good thing, yes?" Aziraphale asked and Crowley hesitated.

"Returning your body? Yes, sure it was good. I mean 'good' isn't really my thing, but at least I don't have to listen to you and that psychic talk to one another." Crowley said.

"She really wasn't that bad." Aziraphale muttered as he remembered the kind woman who helped him travel to Tadfield Airbase.

"So, as my godfathers, what are your duties?" Adam asked and the two looked at each other.

"Well, the rules are a bit different now." Aziraphale said and Crowley nodded.

"Uh, yeah. I mean with Warlock we just gave him good and bad influences, so that we balanced each other out and he could just be a normal kid." Crowley explained.

"Oh, well how did you do that?" Adam asked.

"Well, little things. I called everything 'brother' and 'sister' so he could feel a personal connect-"

"No, not that." Adam interrupted Aziraphale.

"I meant, how did you influence him when, I think, he never knew you were celestial beings?" Adam asked.

"Oh, simple. We took jobs around the house so we could see and speak to the boy every day." Crowley said.

"And what did you do?" Adam asked.

"Well, I worked outside, as a gardener. Crowley, on the other hand, worked inside as the boy's nanny." Aziraphale said. Adam turned around and walked backwards so he could stare at them.

"They hired a male nanny?" Adam asked and Crowley shrugged.

"No." He said and Adam blinked.

"So, they hired you as a nanny." Adam said.

"Yep." Crowley said.

"But they didn't hire a male nanny." Adam saidz

"Correct." Crowley said.

"So you were a girl?" Adam asked and Crowley nodded.

"Yeah." Crowley said.

"So did you have a sex change?" Adam asked.

"I guess." Crowley said.

"So, were you born a girl?" Adam asked.

"I was never born, Antichrist. But it's quite easy for the two of us to change our physical appearances. I just miracled into a woman when I was with Warlock, and miracled back to a man whenever I wanted." Crowley explained and Adam nodded.

"Was that hard? Switching from man to woman so often." Adam asked.

"Nah, not really. They felt more similar then you would think." Crowley said.

"That's surprising." Adam said.

"Well, it doesn't matter what I look like. I know who I am and what I liked and that doesn't change just because my gender did." Crowley said.

"Huh. What about the way others treated you?" Adam asked.

"Well, most people were nervous around me without fully understanding why. But as a man, or as a woman, there will always be people who are nicer to you, and others who are mean to you. I didn't care, though. I never cared about their opinion. So if they were jerks, I just told them to fuck off and I got on with my day." Crowley said and Adam nodded.

"Was it like that for you Aziraphale?" Adan asked and the angel blinked.

"Was what like?" Aziraphale asked.

"Being a man and a woman." Adam asked and Crowley smiled at Aziraphale.

"Yeah, how was that like?" Crowley asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you Adam, but I've actually... well..." Aziraphale hesitated.

"He's never been a woman, Adam." Crowley said.

"I've not had the pleasure." Aziraphale added.

"Oh... I just thought-"

"Adam!" Pepper ran up to him.

"Hi, Pepper." Adam said.

"I thought we were done with angels and demons." Pepper said, using a tone that said 'get away from these strange men'.

"They're alright, Pepper. Aziraphale and Crowley are thinking about moving here and I thought they would like to get ice cream with us." Adam said.

"Moving? Are you sure?" Pepper asked. Crowley nodded as Aziraphale shook his head. Crowley noticed and sighed.

"Angel isn't sure about it, but I think it's for the best." Crowley said, and Pepper looked at Adam.

"And this doesn't bother you?" Pepper asked and Adam smiled.

"Of course not, they're my godfathers after all." Adam said, and Pepper blinked.

"G-... godfathers? Are you quite sure?" Pepper asked and Adam shrugged.

"I guess Crowley is a part time godmother, but they still count as godparents." Adam said and Crowley lowered his head.

"Godmother? What am I, helping a princess?" Crowley whispered.

"I don't like this one bit." Pepper said.

"That's why I thought it would be fun to eat ice cream together. Se we can all get to know each other better." Adam said.

"Better? Oh, yes, we are all gonna be a great big family then?" Pepper asked and Adam reached over to Aziraphale and grabbed his hand.

"Of course, Pepper. My godparents are your godparents." Adam said and then he lead Aziraphale to the ice cream parlor.

"What? That's not how this works!" Crowley called out to them.

"Yeah, I don't trust these guys." Pepper complained but the two entered the shop without looking back.

"Can you believe Adam? I don't need godparents; my mom is enough." Pepper said.

"And I don't need to be responsible for a bunch of brats I've never met before." Crowley said. The two stood in silence a moment.

"Why do I get the feeling like those two will be the death of us?" Pepper asked.

"Well, probably because they know we'd die for them." Crowley said and Pepper blushed.

"I don't think Adam knows that. Boys are obliviously stupid." Pepper said. Crowley was gonna object to this, but then he saw Aziraphale handing napkins to a messy boy and he sighed.

"Fair point." Crowley said and Pepper rose and eyebrow at him.

"Do you think you'll be a good godfather?" Pepper asked.

"Of course. I just... thought it would be better if Adam didn't know, and now he does. If you ask me, he's a bit too excited about the whole thing." Crowley said.

"I suppose I could try to help. See what Adam expects out of this, and tell him if it's realistic if not." Pepper said.

"Well, I'm that case, I suppose you could do as you like. As his girlfriend I think he values you opinion over-"

"Excuse me?" Pepper asked.

"What?" Crowley asked.

"Did you call me Adam's girlfriend?" Pepper asked.

"You're not?" Crowley asked and Pepper shook her head.

"No. I have no plans of losing myself to anyone." Pepper said.

"Oh, I'm sorry. You two seemed to be pretty confident in each other at the airbase." Crowley said.

"We've been friends forever." Pepper said, but she stopped when Crowley rose his hands.

"Let's stop before this gets insanely awkward. Besides, we left the boys alone, so that means they cannot function because we have their brain cells." Crowley said and Pepper smirked.

"You're right, we should supervise them." Pepper said.

"Right on..." Crowley holds up his fist.

"Girl power?" Crowley asked and Pepper smiled.

"Girl power." Pepper said, giving him a fist bump.

"Time to save the men." Crowley said and they walked into the ice cream shop.
