p style="margin: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Eden was filling out her schoolwork in her Daddy's study, well, she was trying to, and she just couldn't concentrate. Crowley was looking over her shoulder, fully aware that Eden had been slacking off on her studies, which wasn't like her at all./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"She was sitting at her desk, right next to his own, and he looked over her shoulder./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"He gave her a little pop quiz on World War 2 on a few sheets of paper and instead of answering the questions with her pencil, she was doodling./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;""Something on your mind my Queenie?" Crowley whispered in her ear when it became clear that Eden wasn't interested in her assignment./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Eden jumped, "Daddy! I wish you wouldn't do that!" she exclaimed rubbing her ear. Then she shrugged it off. "Nothing is on my mind, I am working very diligently on this history assignment." She said with a huff./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Crowley wasn't fooled for a minute. "Really now? Because I don't recall World War 2 being a bunch of loopy loops and scribbles."/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Eden hung her head in shame. She was caught./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;""Something is clearly on your mind Queenie, it's not like you to zone out during a history lesson. Papa and I have noticed you acting strange these past two weeks."/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"It was true. She had been quiet…she was never quiet./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Crowley knelt down to meet Eden's eyes. "What's wrong Eden?"/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Eden sighed, "I've just been wondering ….are there any others like me?"/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Crowley did a double take, "Others?"/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;""You know, demon and angel hybrids, are there others like me? Am I really the only one?"/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Crowley sighed, "Angels and Demons don't have children together, demons and angels are too set in their ways to get along, accept your Papa and I. We got out when we could and we gave ourselves a fresh start. We were completely surprised when Papa was expecting you. We didn't even know having our own kid was possible."/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;""Has God talked to either of you since I was born? Maybe Papa can ask her?"/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Crowley shook his head. "She only spoke to the both of us when….after your Papa got attacked by that asshole, Aamon."/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Eden looked defeated, "And then she decreed her promise." Eden finished, she knew the story well./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"There was a moment of silence, Crowley still couldn't believe that was twelve years ago…../p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Tears stung Eden's eyes. Crowley leaned forward and planted a kiss on Eden's forehead. "Don't cry love…."/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"He tried to give Eden a hug, but Eden pulled herself away and rose from her desk. "I'm going to my room." Her voice was tight as she left the study and shut the door./p

p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;""Apparently not." Said the angel as he and Crowley went upstairs./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"Aziraphale knocked on Eden's bedroom door. "Come in." a voice called softly./p

p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"They both sat on the bed and Eden sat up to meet their worried eyes./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;""Daddy told me about your conversation today. Are you alright my dear?" He asked gently as he pulled Eden into a tight hug./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;""Just feeling really lonely." Eden murmured./p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;""Oh precious, your never alone. You have us, now you may be the only hybrid, but that's just a testament how wonderful and unique you truly are."/p
p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;""And I am more convinced that you were a gift from the Almighty herself which makes you truly ineffable."/p

p style="margin: 1em 0px 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;""Sushi!" Eden said without hesitating as Aziraphale wiped her tears away./p
