an:never gonna actually write, but idea wont go away
When crowley said he delivered the baby - he actually *delivered* said baby.
However, he wasn’t about to hand *his* kid over to the chattering nuns and just be done with it, so in all the baby swapping, young and dowlings babies end up being swapped, and crowley, all quick talking and misdirection, and with no demonic intervention, follows the nun responsible with getting rid of the “extra” baby (who was the actual antichrist) and steals him away
Problem is, it would be very suspicious if he’s been seen with a kid who’s the exact age of the-ender-of-all-things, especially once it comes to light the dowlings kid isn’t him.
So he lies to azi about the kid, and convinces the angel to adopt him.
To keep up appearances, he still poses as warlocks nanny; azi has no reason to believe warlock is NOT the antichrist, and poses as the gardner
