(A/N I'm so sorry for misspelling Aziraphale's name in the past few chapters I will fix it. My mind has been scattered the last few weeks so once I pull it together I'll reread everything. Scout's honour. I give this as an ex-leader of a scout group. But it was out of my control and part of the reason why my mind has been scattered recently. )
Edward's P.O.V.:
"What do you mean you couldn't separate Aziraphale from the demon? And you couldn't find Jasper Whitlock?" I heard my angelic accomplice question someone. I guess Michael was feeling feminine today since there was a girl with gold makeup wearing white heading my way. She looked angry. But I still do not understand why it's important to separate this Aziraphale person from a demon. It's not like they will be a threat to us. Jasper Whitlock however unless swayed to our side will be.
"Look I had my plan but it went wrong. It was that little girl's fault I know it..." An older man following Michael explained and this caught both of our attention.
"What little girl? What did she look like?" Michael questioned. I was interested as well but Dusk hasn't been feeling well recently.
"Just a blonde, nine-year-old human, her hair was wavy with some curls. I didn't see her face her hair was always blocking it." he explained and I growled.
"Just what was your plan?" I questioned. The man explained his plan to lure this Aziraphale away with a coffee that had a miracle in it, that would have swayed him to our side. But the child must have woken up and dumped the coffee out. Wait if a demon didn't notice but this human child did something was off.
"How are we going to deal with Jasper? He couldn't have just disappeared." Dusk pointed out.
"Just leave it to me. He will join your cause not even his sister will be able to help him." the man told us before leaving. I could tell that Michael was already thinking of plans on how to deal with this child.
Aziraphale's P.O.V.
Carlisle and his family moved at the end of the school year. But during the summer we were in our place in Canada. Crowley and I were sitting in the sand since our place had a beach. He was just enjoying the heat while I was reading. Lucy was in the water where we could get to her quickly if we needed to. Her blonde hair was in two braids with parts of it covering her eyes, she was happy in her blue snow-flaked patterned swimsuit. We haven't seen the man who was around when Lucy had her first seizure but she had more since then. With each one, she seemed to be remembering more about her past.
She looked at Crowley. "Daddy can we do fan expo this year?" she asked. We have tried to explain to her that she didn't have to call Crowley and me by dad and daddy but she didn't listen to us. I didn't see why they couldn't go as long as he didn't buy her junk food every time she asked.
"I don't see why we can't my little light bird. But Aziraphale has to come with us and we are doing costumes. " Crowley responded. I was not expecting that but I agreed.
A few weeks later we were in the car. We went into the city a day early. Crowley wanted to take Lucy to an end-of-the-summer fair and a dinner out. I swear to our mother he spoils her sometimes. For example when we were at the fair. Lucy saw a prize at a game she wanted then I watched Crowley cheat with a little demonic miracle. Lucy looked super excited we rode some rides before lunch.
"Angel did you and Lucy want to go on more rides we have a few hours before dinner. " Crowley explained and Lucy looked excited. I didn't think about any reason why Crowley would dress Lucy like she belonged in a fantasy novel but she enjoyed it.
"Daddy I want cotton candy. Can I please get some?" Lucy asked as we went to drop Lucy's toy off in the car before we headed to dinner nearby.
"Sorry, my little light bird I don't want you to ruin your dinner. So I'm going to say no." He replied with a sigh before lifting her. "This way Angel." he added while walking off. I would have never guessed that this place was that big. I followed Crowley who knew where we were going.
"How do you know where to go, Crowley?" I asked. I had a theory that he had been sneaking out to find this place. He confirmed it. We walked into a building and to a desk. Crowley had set Lucy down who seemed out of it I went to her while Crowley was talking to one of the employees.
"Lucy, are you okay? " I inquired as she played with her necklace. She looked at me for a second and her eyes didn't look like those of a child. She looked like she wanted to cry as if she was holding up a face for others. She ran into my arms and started to cry.
"I've been here before... With my husband Riley and my brother Jasper... We were with friends..." She sobbed quietly into my shirt. So this was Nina but I guess The moment of Nina being aware was over since Lucy looked confused.
"Dad why am I crying? " she questioned. I guess Nina decided that this was not something that needed to be remembered yet. I lied to her and told her it was tears of joy. Crowley then came back over holding three lanyards with the letters V. I. P. on them.
He then led us inside to where a picture of the three of us was taken. Then to a gift shop. "We still got some time how about a drink, Angel? Lucy, do you want a slushie?" Crowley offered, Lucy of course took the offer so did I. The three of us then walked around with our drinks. Crowley noticed Lucy looking at tiaras and got her one. I got her some notebooks to write her strange dreams in. I hoped it would help her make sense of them.
"Mister Crowley and Mister Aziraphale is that you?" I heard someone call to us and to our surprise it was Muriel. We haven't seen her in years. She watched Crowley and I before we adopted Lucy. Because Gabriel was missing both heaven and hell thought we had something to do with it. We didn't he left on his own to be with Beelzebub. I trusted her with the bookshop. "Who is this little princess? " she asked us.
"I'm Lucy." was all she replied with before whispering to Crowley. They then walked off. I apologized for Lucy and explained how she's been on edge since Metatron showed up at our house one day.
"It is alright." Muriel sighed. She did not understand humans but it looked like she was babysitting. She kept looking at two boys and a girl. I didn't pay attention to them though. I said my goodbyes after a while and went to find Crowley and Lucy. I found them and Crowley was spoiling our child. If she saw something she liked he would get it for her. After dinner that night Crowley carried our little light back to the car.
The following morning Crowley helped Lucy into her costume a black cat and with a small miracle her eyes appeared cat-like. "It will wear off at the end of the day don't worry angel. " Crowley explained because I was worried about this. Crowley went to get dressed while Lucy was doing superhero poses in the mirror. When he came back I was surprised to see him dressed like Ares the way he was described in the Percy Jackson series. I started reading them to Lucy last year. He then pushed me into the bedroom.
"Your costume is on the bed now hurry up we still have to feed Lucy. " Crowley pointed out. He then started laughing at puns that Lucy made. I was going dressed as Apollo it seemed. Quickly getting dressed I walked out of the room. Lucy clapped in excitement. I got a B. L. T. sandwich for Lucy and one for me that I shared with Crowley we went to the event Lucy wanted to. We got our passes Crowley quickly wrapped Lucy's around her wrist. Ours were hanging around our necks. At least one of us was with Lucy at all times unless she had to go to the bathroom. "Mommy look it's Kitty Noir can I get a picture with her, please? " A boy a little older than Lucy exclaimed excitedly. The boy's mother looked like she didn't want to be there but at the bottom of a bottle. The boy was also dressed up but as a ladybug.
"As long as it is okay with her brothers. " the woman said bored.
"Actually, we're her fathers. And ask her not us we believe that she is old enough to make her own choices for having her photo taken. " I explained. The mother quickly dragged her son off muttering how he did not have to be exposed to this. Super she was homophobic. We went to the cosplay red carpet when we could where we met the boy again who lost his mom.
"Can we get a picture together kitty? " the boy asked Lucy. She smiled while Crowley and I kept an eye out for the boy's mother they got a picture together they were doing a fist bump while smiling. When the mother showed up she looked like we corrupted her innocent baby. We didn't do anything. She was going off at us when Lucy stepped forward.
"Listen here you warthoged-faced baffon. This isn't the 1800s anymore being gay is okay. Being left-handed is okay. Girls can wear what they want, they can do what they want with their hair so can boys. But my main point is if my having two dads bothers you keep it to your hell-bent self because I know for a fact that there's a place in hell for people like you. And since you think this is wrong you prove that history was sanitized too much and hates gays. Just like T. V." Lucy ranted but I think Nina came out again because Lucy couldn't have known about the place in hell. Crowley told me about it I found it amusing nothing but music by gay artists and movies or shows with gay actors and actresses or just gay characters but only when the gay ones are on screen.
The boy's mother went off on us again saying that we were rotting Lucy's brain and that she would call C. P. S. "If you do I'll tell them you lost your child here and have been drinking. I can smell the mint since it's in a clear container I would say gin or vodka. " Lucy or Nina threatened I wasn't sure who was talking. When the mom was going to start running her mouth again Lucy fell to the floor. Guess Nina had enough.
"Now if you excuse us we have to take care of 'our' daughter. Crowley? Is her water in your bag with the rest of her sandwich?" I questioned he nodded as I was carrying Lucy. We found a somewhat quiet place for Lucy to recover. She was still asleep when Crowley took off his sunglasses to look me in the eyes.
"What happened in there? It was like Lucy was not Lucy but someone else. " He wondered. I explained what happened the night before at dinner and my theory. "So Nina Whitlock is making appearances? That's fan fucking tastic. I thought we had until she was in high school before that shit happened. " He ranted. I could understand his frustration, but making Lucy feel bad about herself won't help things.
Once she pulled through I made sure she ate and had her water. We went back to the event. The three of us did an escape room that was there it was themed around an old cartoon. We had fun but Lucy was still tired. So we went home for the night once we got out.
Lucy fell asleep on the way to the hotel. The following morning she was up early. I'm not going to explain our whole time there for the last three days Lucy dressed as Jack Frost, a wizard from Harry Potter she was in Ravenclaw, and then a different character from a different movie she watched with Crowley. He was having fun helping her change her hair and eye colour for the day. "Angel, can you do me a favour and be a girl for the next two days? " Crowley asked after we did the Harry Potter robes he was in Slytherin and I was a Hufflepuff. I still think Lucy should have matched with me but she picked her own.
The first day of me agreeing to Crowley's request he helped me into a dress and did my hair and eyes. When we walked out of the room Nina took over. "What the fuck. I forgot you angels and demons can do that shit." She exclaimed I was going to scold her when Crowley pointed out that it was Nina and not Lucy. So I had to let it slide. But when Lucy came back she swore two and told me that Crowley taught her. But on the last day, Crowley went as the tenth doctor from Doctor Who and I went as River Song.
Crowley could really pass as the doctor so there were a lot of people asking for pictures with us. A group of teens took to Lucy they were made of two girls and a boy. The girls were dressed up as two Disney princesses Rapunzel and Marida I think, and the boy was dressed like Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon right down to the black dragon on his shoulder.
"Oh my gosh guys, we found a Jack Frost! I can't believe it. Since our other friend wouldn't do this with us. Can we get a picture with you, please? " One of the girls asked Lucy who looked tired. She agreed though they took the photo and went on their way. After the event ended we took Lucy out for dinner. She did wake up from a nightmare that night since I found her writing and drawing in one of the notebooks I got for her. She noticed me and made room on the bed for me.
"Did you want to go back to sleep? " I asked her while sitting on the bed with her. She nodded before asking for a song. She showed me three drawings of who must have been a human Peter, a human Carmen and a human Jasper Whitlock. This made me think of a song about a soldier, a poet, and a king by a band called The Oh Hellos.
"There will come a soldier who carries a mighty sword. He will tear your city down. O lei o lai o lord. O lei o lai o lord. He will tear your city down. O lei o lai o lord.
There will come a poet whose weapon is his word. He will slay you with his tongue. O lei o lai o lord. O lei o lai o lord. He will slay you with his tongue. O lei o lai o lord.
There will come a ruler whose brow is laid in thorn. Smeared with oil like David's boy. O lei o lai o lord. O lei o lai o lord. Smeared with oil like David's boy. O lei o lai o lord. O lei o lai o lord. He will tear your city down. O lei o lai o lord." I sang but didn't finish the song since Lucy was already asleep. She was curled into my side.
"Angel wake up we have to get on the road. " Crowley woke me later. I quickly got ready then we got on the road.
