Book: Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
DH: Newton Pulsifer (23)
DW: Anathema Device (23)
DS: Halcyon 'Hal' Adam Pulsifer-Device (0)
Psychic as she may be, not even Anathema managed to predict that she would fall pregnant mere months after the almost-Apocalypse. And at the hands (and other parts) of Witchfinder Private Newt Pulsifer of all people. Sure, she'd impulsively married the guy and possibly fantisized about having a half dozen or so kids with him, but... well, not quite so soon.
But, no matter. She'd been trying to live much more spontaneously, after all.
That said, there was no way in heaven or hell that she would've named her child after any of Newt's relatives. No matter how much the old sod insisted that it was tradition. The best he had to offer in his pool of relations was Thou-Shalt-Not-Commit-Adultery Pulsifer. And it's wasn't like her family was too much better, at least in respect to male names: despite her brief psychic blindspot, Anathema had divined early on that she was most definitely having a boy.
Anyways, after months of the same argument, Anathema finally went into labor with only the little anti-christ Adam Young around to get her to the hospital. After a white-knuckle, prepubescent-legs-barely-reaching-the-pedals car ride and thirty-six hours of somehow painless labor, both Anathema and Newt were pretty keen on honoring Adam in the naming of their new son.
Halcyon Adam Pulsifer-Device already shares his mother's dark hair and attractively mismatched features, as well as his father's fondness for electronics; darling Hal is sweet as pie until anyone tries taking away whatever chunks of machinery he's managed to get his grubby little hands onto on any given day. Well, Anathema never did figure any "normal" children into her life (especially not with Witchfinder Sergeant Shadwell snatching her minutes-old son away to perform a perfunctory nipple check).
And hopefully that future continues looking rosy. Adam, of course, has promised not to throw another Apocalypse, but both the demon Crowley and the angel Aziraphale have been hearing grumblings from their respective otherworldly realms. The opposing powers are less than happy at having had their big showdown averted. And both intend to do something undoubtedly unpleasant about it...
