It was a normal day at the bookshop, no customers, just Aziraphale, Crowley and their baby girl Eden Alexandria Queen Fell. 

Eden was crawling now. Crawling nonstop which made her father’s proud to no end but quite flustered at Eden’s endless energy. 

Eden had just quite recently been enchanted by the bookshop doors and was crawling towards them until she heard a voice.

“Oi, no you don’t miss missy!” Eden turned her head and saw her Daddy, his orange eyes gleaming with happiness.  She immediately forgot about the doors and turned towards Crowley who knelt down with his hands out stretched ready to scoop up his daughter.

“That’s it! Ya got this! Oh you’re brilliant!” Crowley cooed.

Suddenly Eden stopped and maneuvered into a sitting position, then she rose to her feet.

“Oh my god, Aziraphale! Come quick! Eden is walking! Eden is walking!” 

Eden stood for a second then took a step, then another step. Then another.  Eden saw how happy her father was and began to coo and forgot this was her first time walking.

Suddenly Eden lost her balance and fell. Crowley lunged forward and caught her right in the nick of time.

“Got ya! There, that’s my sweet girl. You did such a great job. Papa is going to be so proud of you, yes he is.”
Eden grinned and smiled and she grabbed Crowley by the nose. “Ha! You got me!”

“She most certainly does my dear!” Aziraphale chuckled as Crowley whirled around with Eden still clutching his nose. 

“Angel you should have seen her, she was amazing she took her first steps!”

“I know I saw!”

“BA BA!” Eden surmised as Eden held out her hands, demanding her Papa to hold her next. Aziraphale hugged her tightly. “My Little One is growing up so fast.” He kissed her and she squealed in delight.

The happy family left the bookshop shortly after to meet Newt, Anathema and little Bella at the newest restaurant for dinner.
