Claire wasn't sure how long had passed when she woke up on the cold cellar floor but there was a figure standing in the shadows holding a knife.
"Sssh" she thought she heard him say as he stepped out of the shadows, she glanced at Sam and Dean at either side of her.
"Jimmy" Dean whispered looking confused
"Not Jimmy" Claire realised as Castiel stepped out of the shadow, she could still tell them apart somehow.
He leant down beside the three of them and unlocked their handcuffs
"You'll want this back" he handed Rubys knife to Dean
"How are you here, what about Jimmy?" Dean asked taking the knife
"We should get out of here before I answer your questions" Castiel told them.
Seconds later he had teleported them to a deserted warehouse
Claire threw her arms round Castiel "I missed you so much"
"I missed you too" he held onto Claire as her ran his hand thru her hair.
"Ok I don't want to break up the big reunion here but what's going on Cas?" Dean asked
"I have this note from Jimmy" he handed it to Claire
Claire took the note and began reading
"Ok so what does it say?" Dean asked when she had finished reading
"He went home and his wife had a new husband so he tried getting on with his life but now he wants to give Cas and me the chance that Cas gave him, to be together and to be happy"
"He said yes to being my vessel again just a few days ago" Castiel explained "it took this long to track you down and when I found out you had been captured I took the knife back and killed the three demons that were guarding you"
"There were more than three Demons" Sam told him
"Maybe once they had us chained up they didn't think they all needed to stay behind" Dean suggested
"Yeah I guess" Sam agreed "we should get back to the motel; I think we could all do with some sleep"
It was late but Claire couldn't sleep she turned over to see Castiel looking at her
"Are you ok?" he asked
"I'm glad you back" she told him "but I'm sorry for Jimmy"
"I was worried" he admitted "that I'd come back and you might also have found someone else"
"Never" she told him defiantly "you know if you're going to watch me you could get in" she lifted the covers"
"I don't need to sleep" he reminded her
"But you can, and besides sleeping wasn't what I had in mind"
"Then what? Oh" he realised "well I have missed that" he grinned as he took off his clothes and climbed into bed besides Claire.
