Through it All

Chapter One

"So it's the big move this weekend, huh, Cas?" Anna asked as she and Castiel prepared the nursery from when the children came back in.

The twenty year old beamed at her and nodded.

"I'm so excited." He said softly, "We're finally taking that huge step we've been waiting for…it's just so amazing…"

Castiel had wanted to work with children for so long, and he'd been working at Pamela's day care centre for a few months. The kids loved him so much and loved working with them. They were currently setting up a table for the children to make their pictures of the beach to take home.

"You know, I think it's great that you and Dean are moving into together," Anna told him, "You're such a lovely couple."

"Thanks, Anna." Castiel replied with a smile, filling up a couple of small plastic pots with glue, "I just hope that our families will be happy for us…rather than criticising our plans all the time."

"They will, honey." Anna said softly, "They will."

"Cas! Cas, looky! I finished!"

Castiel looked over at Holly, the tiny blonde three year old who sat opposite him and smiled brightly.

"Oh wow, hold it up for me!"

Holly did and showed him her picture, Castiel beckoning her closer and smiling as she showed him again.

"That is beautiful." He said sweetly, "I think you're gonna need a sticker for that one."

Holly blushed and giggled, Castiel smiling and taking the picture from her to put it with the others to dry.

"Thanks, Holly," He said softly, "Now why don't you go and play with George? He looks a little lonely."

There was one other child sat with him, the last child to finish their picture. Oliver. Castiel's shift ended in ten minutes, but he wouldn't leave until Oliver's picture was done.

"Cas…I…I don't know what to put on it…" Oliver said sadly, looking down at the picture.

Castiel looked over and saw that Oliver had put on the sand and sea, the sunshine and a few clouds.

"I've never been to the seaside."

Castiel's heart broke for the poor little guy. Oliver's family couldn't really afford to take him to the beach, so he found this really quite difficult.

"Well…what do you think people do at the beach?" Castiel asked, Oliver shrugging in response, "What do you build in the sandbox?"

Oliver gasped.

"Sandcastles!" He cried, Castiel laughing and nodding.

"Yeah, they build sandcastles, so why don't you stick a sandcastle on there."

Oliver nodded eagerly and cut out some yellow paper as well as a three year old could and stuck it on the page. Castiel talked him through and helped him some more, looking at the clock to see that he was ten minutes past the end of his shift. But Oliver had finished the picture, and that's what mattered.

"Well done, Oliver! That's beautiful!" Castiel said, praising the child and letting Oliver give him a high-five, "You need a sticker too, I think."

Anna smiled at Castiel and nodded to the clock, Castiel nodding back and putting the stickers he owed Holly and Oliver on their charts before heading to the staff lounge to get his jacket and bag. He found his partner, Dean waiting in there for him when he arrived, who was talking with Pamela (his boss) and his best friend, Jo. Dean turned when he saw Castiel enter the room, smiling and winking at him.

"Hey, Cas." Dean said softly, Castiel kissing Dean's cheek before getting his bag and jacket, "You ready?"

Castiel nodded and smiled at Pamela and Jo who hugged him tight.

"Good luck with the move tomorrow!" Pamela said softly, "Enjoy your week off, Cas."

"Thanks, guys. I'll see you in a week." Castiel replied, heading out of the door with Dean in tow.

When they reached the parking lot, they climbed into Dean's stunning black '67 Chevy Impala and shared a deep, passionate kiss.

"How was your day?" Dean asked, "You got out a little late, huh?"

"Yeah, I was just helping one of the kids finish a picture." Castiel replied, "And my day's been wonderful. What about yours?"

"Awesome," Dean replied, kissing Castiel again a little more desperately this time, "Can't wait 'til tomorrow."

"Neither can I." Castiel replied, looking at his lover with a hint of concern before the pair headed back to their homes for their last nights in their own beds.

Tomorrow, they were moving out.
