A/N: Aww. Thanks for all the love you guys. Another certain angel is going to show up here because you guys know how much I luffles him too much for words! (cough) Gabriel! (cough). When they talk going to have them in Italic because they don't have vessels here yet. Just light.
Chapter Two: Show and Tell:
For the record, one should never tell Mary Winchester that something is wrong with her baby. John had to learn that the hard way. He got the sofa for a good month for that one. These two would like to think they're playing it coy, keeping their separation bits to themselves, but Dean knew better. He might be only three. However, Dean knew what was going on. Sometimes he watched them fight from the stair wail with Cas in his jean pocket.
Dean looked down at him. "I don't like it when they fight Cas,"
Adults were weird and sometimes he didn't get it. How could they love each other so much and fight as they were?
"There is nothing wrong with him John!"
"Mary, he talks to himself, and I don't think it's healthy for a boy to carry that ridiculous Angel around everywhere!"
"I thought you said you liked it!"
"I lied!"
The real Castiel didn't like it when Mary and John fault either. He didn't like how it was effecting Dean. It could have long term damage to his boy. He shouldn't be watching so Cas urged him to go show him his cars.
"I thought ya didn't like cars."
Castiel told him an Angel could change his mind.
Which made Dean laugh and ended up agreeing with him. Cas was awesome.
A few days later, John was all ready at the garage while Mary was trying to get Dean ready for preschool. "Mommy, today we have to bring something for show and tell. Can I bring Cas?" Dean asked as held up his favorite Angel.
"Are you sure baby?" Mary questioned. Of course, she really didn't mind but Dean really wasn't good with keeping things in one piece. She was actually surprised that "Cas" had lasted this long. It would be a record. Leave it to Dean to always prove her wrong. "I just don't want it to break."
"I'll be really careful with him." Dean promised. "Pwease? He's really careful with me!"
Mary laughed. "Is he?"
"Uh-huh."
"Well, maybe you should ask Cas if it's all right with him. Don't you think?"
Dean gave that some thought. It would be kind of mean to take someone somewhere if they didn't really want to go. So, he asked him. "Hey Cas, sorry I didn't ask earlier, wanna go with me to school?"
Why?
"I want to take ya fer Show and Tell."
What's Show and Tell?
Mary watched as Dean had an actual conversation with the angelic figurine. Apparently, Angels didn't know what Show and Tell was. It was like there was no one else is the room. It was just Dean and "Cas".
"C'mon Cassie, yer too cool fer me to keep all to myself."
Now, even Mary wanted to know Cas. If the Angel couldn't cave into that, Hell, she wouldn't know what would.
Cas gave in as he always did when Dean was concerned.
"Have a nice day baby!" Mary waves off Dean and waits for him until he's in the school before she drives off in the direction of Bobby's house.
A few minutes later, in his class room, Dean is showing Cas around. Cas is very curious and Dean doesn't hesitate to answer Cas' question. Cas can see that Dean is very good at that. However, when he's half way around the room one of his brothers shows up.
Hey bro.
Gabriel.
Don't be so excited to see me.
What are you doing here?
Well, I'm seeing what's been keeping you so busy.
You know I've been giving one of the Winchesters as my charge.
Ah, Dean. Good. Very good.
Gabriel watches with Castiel as Dean gets with the other children as their teacher gets through morning roll call. Then Pledge of Allegiance.
Is he a handful?
No.
Don't lie to me bro.
Angels don't lie.
Ha, you'd be surprise. (cough) Zachariah (cough) Zachariah... I can give you a whole list.
Don't speak so harshly of our brothers.
Hey, they're my brothers. I can talk them any way I want, dammit.
Don't curse Gabriel.
After those two morning activities were done, the teacher announced it was time for Show and Tell.
"This is Cas,"
Aww. Cas. How cute! He's giving you a nick name!
The two Angels in the room had their eyes on Dean. Gabriel with amusement and he dare say that Cas was beaming. Gabriel would so be using this on his ass later.
"He's an awesome kick butt Angel!"
If Cas could face palm right now, he would. Dean really shouldn't saying butt in school. He would talk about that with him.
The kids just thought it was funny.
That's when the teacher told Dean that was more than enough and he should sit down. "But he is!"
Through out the day, Dean kept Cas close.
He really likes you.
At picture time, the students were told to draw a picture of someone they love. It could be there parents or someone else.
Dean drew him with his mom and dad and Cas.
The teacher kept a close eye on Dean and it was fine until she saw him whispering to the Angel.
Gabriel tried to warn his baby brother that he was getting too close to his charge. Angels were suppose to be kept at a safe distance, but never interfere. Cas stepped over the line and revealed himself to Dean when he really wasn't suppose to. He couldn't help though. It wasn't his fault. Dean saw him first.
Dean got sent home with a note.
"Angel of Thursday?" At Bobby's house, Mary was learning more and more about Castiel.
"Yup." Bobby continued. "Who knew that Angels had days of the week."
These two were surrounded by books of every size and thickness. Bobby had tons on Demons, little on Angels. However, there were Hunters in the field who believed in them and were nice enough to loan them out. He just didn't answer them when they asked him why he needed them now.
"I like Thursday," Mary made know with a small smile. "It's the calm before the storm of the weekend."
"And my day off." Bobby raised his beer bottle to that.
"Ha, you never take a day off Robert Singer."
"I do too."
Mary crossed her arms. "When?"
Bobby would get back to her on that one.
Mary excused herself because she had to go pick Dean up from school.
"So, how was your day at school?"
"Good."
"Did Cas have a good time?"
Dean liked it when his mommy asked about Cas too. His daddy didn't. "Ya can ask him ya know."
"But I can't see him."
"Ya can still ask, and I can answer for ya!"
"Okay, Cas, how was your day at school."
Tell your mother I had a wonderful time.
"Really Cas?"
Yes.
Dean kicked his legs happily in the back seat. "He said had a wonderful time!"
Mary laughed. "Good."
When they got home, Mary helped Dean with his book bag and took off his jacket. "Oh, and mommy, Mrs. Milton wanted me to give this to you." he pulled out the envelope."
"Why don't you go play with Cas in your room and I'll have a snack ready for you in a few minutes."
Dean squealed and ran upstairs with his Angel in his hand.
Inside, there was a note addressed to Mary and John saying that Mrs. Milton, Dean's teacher would like to see them next Thursday concerning Dean's behavior at school.
"See! I told you something was wrong with him!"
"You don't even know what it's about yet!"
"Oh, I can guess!"
It started as soon as John got home.
By now, Dean was tucked under the covers, holding Cas close and he was starting to wonder if something was wrong with him.
There is nothing wrong with you Dean.
"Then why do they think there is?"
They don't understand.
"Cassie, ya are real right?"
Yes.
"Promise."
Cas would remind Dean that Angels didn't lie and they kept their promises. Well, at least he did .
TBC...
