"I knew something wasn't right!" said Crowley as he and Aziraphale hopped out of the Bentley and darted to the door of Archangel Falls. Crowley already had his copy of the key out and the door was unlocked within seconds. 

"Eden! Gabriel! We're here!" Crowley didn't even bother to wait for an answer. He and his husband made their way upstairs and went straight to Gabriel and Eden's bedroom. 

The vomiting had finally stopped and Gabriel helped Eden back to bed and was relieved when he heard Crowley's call.

"Come in!" Gabriel called and he wasn't surprised when Crowley nearly took the door off of its hinges.

"Wot the fuck happened?" Crowley met the feverish gaze of Eden and darted to the bedside. "Queenie, darling, what's wrong?"

"Got a fever….vomiting…." Eden rasped, her voice sounding completely drained. "I'm tired…"

"Oh you poor thing." Aziraphale cooed when he reached Eden's side. He dabbed Eden's sweaty temples with the compress. 

"Are you thirsty my Little One?" When Eden nodded, Aziraphale snapped his fingers and a glass of water appeared. 

While Aziraphale assisted Eden while she drank, Crowley turned to Gabriel. "What the fuck is going on here?!" Crowley glared daggers at the Archangel and once again, Gabriel was frightened of Crowley.

"I don't know!" Gabriel said, his voice tight with worry. "I woke up and noticed the fever, then she started vomiting. That's when I called you and Aziraphale."

"Crowley, he's done nothing wrong. In fact, he did the right thing by contacting us. Now please calm down, you're upsetting Eden." 

Gabriel and Crowley turned back to the bed and met the distressed gaze of Eden. "Please don't be mad at Gabriel…"

Crowley instantly felt a pang of guilt. "Oh no, I'm not mad, lovely, I'm just worried about you." 

Aziraphale, satisfied that an argument had been averted, suggested, "Crowley, why don’t you go back to South Downs and pick up a few things. I think it would be wise if we stayed here at the Falls for the time being."
