Yup. So, I know I basically died, but I'm back! With a story, no less! This story is Emma, my friend, victim, and fellow smoking hot wiener.
Okay, brief summary. Remember that kick ass psychic in season 1 who threatened to whack Dean with a spoon? Yup, well, she's back! In this AU!, Missouri runs an orphanage for angels! Le gasp! These angels aren't connected to their 'mojo' yet. They get a choice when they turn sixteen to either turn into an angel or stay human. Well, now there are four angels at Missouri's orphanage. Lucifer (a bit OOC, I apologize for that), Anna, Gabriel, and Castiel. Where are the Winchesters? YOU'LL HAVE TO READ TO FIND OUT, NOW, WON'T YA?!

NOW READ THESE WORDS.
Castiel ran down the corridor, screaming loudly. It was gaining on him and fast. He skidded into an open closet and slammed the door behind him, letting out a sigh of relief. He slid down the door and closed his eyes, resting his head on his knees.
The door behind him suddenly pounded loudly. "Leave me alone!" he yelled, wrapping his arms around his head.
"Castiel, if you don't get your butt out here, I'll come in there and get you myself!"
Uh oh… Missouri…
Castiel slowly stood and opened the door, Missouri immediately grabbing the scruff of his shirt. His older brother, Gabriel, was receiving the same treatment.
"Now," she asked, voice stern but not mad. "What'd I tell you boys about running it here?"
"But Gabriel-"
Missouri shook her head. "I don't want any of your lip, Castiel. Now, if you boys wanna rough house, you're gonna have to go outside to play. You be nice to your brother now, Gabriel." She let down of their shirts and gave them each a sharp rap on the bottom before returning to the kitchen where she was teaching Anna how to bake oatmeal cookies for snack.
Gabriel smirked at his brother, mischief in his eyes. "I'll see you outside, Cas…" He quickly checked to see that Missouri was out of sight and sprinted outside.
~Transition.~
Missouri had to smack Gabriel with a spoon to keep his hands off the cookies. Of course, that didn't deter him, it just bought he some time to get them to higher ground. She had her back turned for less than a minute and by the time she turned back around, Gabe was on a chair, arm flailing to grab one of the cooling treats.
"Gabriel, you lay one finger on those cookies, I'ma whack you with a spoon, boy," she scolded, picking the boy up by his waist and setting him down on the linoleum flooring. "Idle hands are the devil's play thing, Gabe. Why don't you go get your siblings and tell them we're going to the park?"
Gabriel pouted but grabbed a pot and wooden spoon and stomped out of the kitchen, screaming with a shrill voice "We're going to the park! We're going to the park!" as he rhythmically pounded on his make shift drum.
Missouri chuckled and shook her head as she packed the now cool cookies and a couple water bottles into a backpack.
Ten minutes later, her four little (quite literal) angels were wandering around the mud room, pulling on shoes or jackets. Lucifer, the eldest, was supervising while Castiel tied his sneakers, correcting mistakes when they were made. Gabriel was shrugging on his green jacket and Anna was pulling on the backpack with snack in it.
"Okay, is everyone ready?"
Castiel hopped off the bench and grabbed Lucifer's hand clenching it tightly. All the children nodded and Missouri led them outside.
Castiel laughed and swung between Anna and Lucifer's hands as they made their way to the park at the elementary school in Lawrence. The Heaven Sent Orphanage was located on the outskirts of Lawrence, Kansas. It was a two floor house that had four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a play room/library and a small mud room. Missouri Mosley had turned her home into the orphanage after God had appeared to her in a dream, asking her to do it. Three days after the conversion was finished, her first angel, Lucifer, had shown up, barely six months old. After that, Anna, and after her, Gabriel. Castiel had shown up four years earlier and the kids had taken to him immediately. Lucifer and Anna would fight over who got to hold him while Gabriel always tried to share his snack with Castiel, even when Cas was a baby. Missouri had to explain that babies can't have chocolate chip cookies, so Gabriel had to settle for second best and always asked to help feed him his bottle.
Missouri chuckled to herself. 'If only they got along that well now…'
"What is it, Missouri?" Anna asked, looking up at the woman.
Missouri took Anna' free hand and patted it. "Nothing, sweetie. I was just thinking about you kids."
Castiel squealed with happiness once the bright colors of the playground were in sight. He nearly pulled Lucifer's arm off trying to get there faster but Lucifer put up a good fight. He checked both ways and crossed the street with Cas, letting go of his younger brothers hand once they were across.
Castiel ran with unfathomable speed to the monkey bars and immediately scaled the ladder. He was hanging upside down in no time. Lucifer jogged over and stood close enough that he could catch Cas if he fell, but not so close that Castiel would protest.
Anna sat with Missouri and pulled out the book she was currently working on, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. She always read near Missouri so she could get help with a word if she needed it.
Gabriel knelt down in the dirt and immediately started digging for worms.
Fifteen minutes later, Gabe was chasing Castiel around with a worm while Lucifer sat next to Anna, reading over her shoulder.
"Okay, who wants snack?" Missouri called out. Gabriel did an immediate 180 and was sitting on the bench before Lucifer had time to make room for him. Gabe sat on his big brothers lap as Castiel clambered up to squeeze between Missouri and Anna.
It was around five o'clock when everyone was finished with their cookies (and Lucifer had wiped the crumbs from Gabe off his lap). All the angels gathered in a group and trudged behind Missouri as they left for home.
Once they were home, Castiel and Gabriel ran for the playroom and proceeded to dump the bucket of little army men all over the floor. Anna went up to her room to read in peace and quiet and Lucifer was recruited to help Missouri with dinner.
After a filling dinner of Mac & Cheese and hot dogs, the kids all cuddled close in Missouri's bed for their weekly tradition of watching a rented movie. It was Castiel's turn to pick but they all could've guessed before he shouted it out.
"Lilo and Stitch!"
Nobody knew why he picked the same movie every time, but they never complained. Cas always curled up in the middle of the bed, in between Lucifer and Gabriel. There was one line that Castiel would quietly to himself, but everyone could hear it.
"Ohana means 'family.' 'Family' mean nobody gets left behind."
By the time the credits rolled at the end of the movie, he was always wrapped around Lucifer like a little octopus.
Lucifer always carried Castiel off to bed as he whispered tiredly to everyone "Night night." He would then let Cas down and they would all pray silently for about a minute or so before Lucifer kissed Castiel goodnight (Gabriel was too old for kisses) and he would leave the two to get ready for bed on their own. They would change into their pajamas, brush their teeth and they would each climb into their respective bunk beds (Gabriel had made it very clear on the first day that Castiel was there that he would be getting the top bunk and the baby could sleep where ever babies slept).
However, tonight, Castiel grabbed at Gabriel's top before he could climb up to the top bunk.
"What is it, kiddo?" Gabriel asked, looking sleepily down at his younger brother.
Castiel just looked down at the ground.
"You okay?"
Castiel shook his head.
Gabriel sighed. "Okay, kiddo…" He climbed down the few rungs he'd managed to get up and crawled into Castiel's bed, patting the space next to him so Cas could come and lay next to him. Castiel quickly settled in next to his brother, relaxing slightly when the familiar arms wrapped around him.
"Gabe?"
"Yeah?"
"Why are we here?" Cas whispered, eyes closed.
"Because it's time to go to sleep, kiddo…"
"No, I mean 'here'."
"Oh," Gabriel huffed out, thinking. Castiel asked him this every few months or so and Gabriel never knew how to answer him. "We're here because Father sent us here. He knew Missouri would be a good mom and so he sent us down to Earth to live with her."
"But why can't we see Father?"
"We can't see him because Father is very busy. He has a lot to do but I'm sure if he wasn't so busy, he'd come and visit. Father loves everyone."
"Okay, Gabe."
It was quiet for a few moments.
"Gabe?"
"Yeah?"
"Where to angels go when they grow up?"
"Well, Cas, there are only grown up angels. We're people but when we grow up, we get to make a big decision. We can either be angels and live with Father in Heaven, or we can choose to stay people and live here on Earth."
"Why would someone wanna be away from Heaven?"
"Well, see, there's one big reason, Cas. They fall in love."
"But I love you and Anna and Lucifer and Missouri. Does that mean I can't see Father ever?" Castiel sounded extremely nervous and his little body tensed up.
"No, there's two different loves, kiddo. There's family love and then there's lovey-dovey."
"What's lovey-dovey?"
"I dunno, but it's in those movies Anna watches. Where the prince and the princess kiss and get married and stuff."
"Oh. Ew."
"Yeah, ew."
"Okay, Gabriel. Good night."
Gabriel smiled and kissed the top of Castiel's head, smoothing down the boys wild hair. "Good night, Cas."
