Good Omens| Ineffable Parents

Aziraphale is back from his trip

I'm confused as to what happened with those men. How did they get arrested? What did they write about them in the paper? Could they still hurt me?

I don't feel safe leaving the bookshop yet, and I still feel horrible for having Crowley help me.

Why did I do all this? Why did I go inside the car? Why did I go into the apartment? Why did I stay with a man that'd leave me in a second? Why did I run away? Why didn't I listen? Why was I even created? Why am I still alive? Why am I me?!

I get out of my room to get away from my thoughts. I hear talking coming from downstairs.
Was Aziraphale back?

"Well, were you able to find anything on the kid's parents?" Crowley asked Aziraphale, though he already knew the answer. If Aziraphale had found anything he would've already called with the news.

"I could not find a thing." Aziraphale shook his head disappointed. "I had no idea where to even start. I do hope things went much better here without me."

Crowley shook his head, "Yeah, we had loads of fun. They're surprisingly talkative."

"Oh, I just knew you could get them to open up. You have to tell me how everything went." 

"Well, I also found out what kind of people they used to hang out with. Absolutely loathsome creatures." Crowley shook his head in disgust.

Oh, no. When Aziraphale finds out what happened, they'll work harder to find my mom and take me back to her. 

"Mr. Aziraphale, you're back!" I run downstairs and hug him.

A few tears slip out of my eyes, I don't want to leave.

Aziraphale was surprised and overjoyed at the sudden affection, quickly returning it.

"Yes, I just got back last night. It's so good to see you again."

"How was your book business trip?"

He looked over to Crowley as he nodded, "Oh, it went very well. I heard you had your own fun. How about we talk about it over breakfast?"

Their eyes quickly brightened up, "Yes, please!"

They had missed Aziraphale's cooking and while the cereal Crowley gave them for breakfast was full of tasty sugar nothing topped the warm heavenly meals Aziraphale prepared. 

As they stuffed their mouth with food they recanted all the good parts of the past days.

"Crowley took me to the park and I got to have some ice cream, it was so yummy. The park is so nice during the day."

 "That's nice perhaps we can all go together sometime.", Aziraphale suggested. 

"We also went to the cinema, it was so fun! I got to watch a movie on this BIG screen and eat popcorn. Can we go there sometime together too?"

"Of course, we can go any day you like." Aziraphale nodded overjoyed at their enthusiasm. After all, he also wanted to connect to the child.

"Yes!" They pumped their fist in excitement.

Crowley smiled seeing both of them happy.
