Good Omens: Our New Beginning (Bad Omens Prequel Novella)

45

Many months later........

Aziraphale was reading.....or he had been.....it was very hard to concentrate due to the sound of raucous laughter echoing throughout the bookshop.

Eden was laughing hysterically as her Daddy, who was in his serpent form with his forked tongue tickling her chubby cheek. She loved his snake kisses. Especially because he would also boop her nose with his serpent snout and Eden loved that just as much.

Eden gasped in surprise when Crowley suddenly wrapped his tail around her waist and placed her on his back. She smiled as she wrapped her arms tightly around her father's scaly body and Crowley began to slither about in lazy circles. Eden whooped and laughed even harder when Crowley would bump into things.

Crowley could listen to Eden’s laughter for all eternity......

"What on Earth are you two doing?" Aziraphale demanded.

"Nothin'!" Crowley exclaimed as he shifted back into his corporation. Eden was still laughing hysterically as she was safely being cradled in Crowley's arms. Eden's curls were an absolute mess. Her eyes were hidden by her curls and her tartan bow barrette was hanging by a single dark red curl.

"Oh look at the state of you Little One!" Aziraphale stepped forward and tried his best to corral the baby's curls. As the angel placed the barrette in its proper place, the angel felt his heart swell. Eden was going to be a year old soon.....and so much had happened this past year and he and Crowley were in store for so much more....

"How about some fresh air and sushi for my beautiful angels?" Crowley asked as he beamed brightly.

"That would be lovely, what do you think Eden?"

"Gaba!" Eden replied.

Although Eden's first birthday was around the corner, their new beginning was just getting started......
