"Sara," Crowley says in shock. He can't believe his eyes. There stands the once love of his life. Her hair, her lips, and everything are the way they were. The light glistens on her pale skin all the same. "My Sara," Crowley reiterates being much more specific than the first time.
She smiles softly at him and replies by saying, "My Crowley." The twinkle in her blue eyes is still there. No more does Crowley have to rely on the memories. He has the real thing right before him. Crowley pulls Sara close to him and kisses her passionately. Smiling, Lilith disappears leaving Sara and Crowley alone to catch up.
"It has been so long, my love. I have missed you so much. Words cannot even describe it. Darling, I could do nothing without thinking of you. You were always in my memories," Crowley tells her with his arms around her thin waist. Sara frowns. Crowley raises an eyebrow and asks, "My darling, what is it?"
Sara sighs and looks into his dark eyes. To her the old Crowley is not there. Something from within him has changed drastically. He is not how he used to be. Back then she thought something was there inside of him that could be good and sweet, but now, something in his eyes has changed like he doesn't have much or maybe even any of that left. Quietly she replies, "Crowley, what happened to you. We didn't have mansions or luxurious things. We had what we needed and that was enough to keep us happy. Now, there is something different in your eyes. Are you really even you anymore?"
"Sara, love, of course I'm me what kind of question is that? I am just like I used to be."
"Crowley, you have changed. Anybody can see it."
He sighs and takes a deep breath before replying with, "Sara, I am the King of Hell now. I have to rule strictly or things can get out of line. That is all that is different. I am still the caring and loving person you knew. I promise, my love. I will be everything and more than what I used to be. I will definitely show you that. Please, just stick around to see." He gazes begging into her beautiful blue eyes.
There is faint crying from upstairs. Sara instantly turns her head towards the noise. "Is that a baby?" Sara asks looking back at Crowley excitedly. Crowley nods smiling. "I want to see the baby!" Sara exclaims and runs upstairs still obviously not accustom to the jeans Lilith got for her.
Crowley follows closely behind and watches Sara pick up Haillie from the crib. "Daddy?" Haillie asks Crowley as she squirms uncomfortably in Sara's arms. Crowley gives her a sweet smile and brushes back her blonde hair. "Daddy?" Haillie asks again wide eyed and a bit more panicked than before.
"Haillie, this is your new Mommy. It is okay. I promise, sweetheart," Crowley tells Haillie to calm her nerves. Haillie looks up at Sara questionably, and then she relaxes in the woman's arms. Crowley smiles and Sara and states, "Before you ask, she is not mine. I got her mother killed, so I took responsibility for her. She is the best thing since you to ever happen to me." Sara smiles Haillie who has her eyes closed and nods.
"Mommy," Haillie says as she snuggles her head into Sara's soft, cotton shirt. Sara kisses Haillie's head and places her back into the crib. Sara takes Crowley's hand still grinning.
Crowley kisses her red lips. "This is going to be the best. We finally have the family we have always wanted. Now, we can really have everything," Sara tells him as they walk out. She has that energy back into her step that she used to have before she ever got sick.
"Sara, I still have to run Hell. I know it is probably not what you would like me to do, but it is my responsibility, too. I can juggle both. I promise. I will not let you or Haillie down. I will be home most of the time. I just have to get a few things done every day. I can do it," Crowley tries to calm her nerves by saying. Sara sighs, but she nods in agreement to give Crowley a chance to pull of the seemingly impossible.
They go downstairs and settle on the couch. Sara puts her head onto Crowley's shoulder. Her arm drapes over his stomach. Crowley smiles as he strokes the hand he's holding with his thumb. He closes his eyes and leans his head back. He is afraid to fall asleep. He doesn't want to wake up to find Sara gone. Sara senses his distress and kisses his cheek, and she tells him, "Just get some sleep, Crowley. I promise I will still be here when you awake. That is a promise that no one can make me break. Just relax." Crowley does and slowly but surely drifts off into a nice deep sleep.
The sunlight hitting his eyelids awakens Crowley. Sara is not on the plush couch next to him. He jumps up in shock and looks around, his eyes still adjusting to the light. "I'm here, Crowley," Sara says from the kitchen seeing her love's distress. Crowley sighs with relief as he sees Sara feeding amy baby food. There is not a drop on her.
"You know what? She will not eat that good for me," Crowley complains smiling. He walks quickly into the kitchen. Haillie giggles as Sara winks at her. Haillie twirls her hair through her small fingers. "You keep acting, little girl," Crowley tells Haillie with a big smile.
"She is a little angel. What are you talking about?" Sara asks laughing.
"Tsk, tsk, Crowley. Have you lost your mind?" a man's voice comes from behind him.
