"Morning, princess, and I'm talking to Dean," Bobby said while moving through the kitchen. Both Dean and Evie had come down at the same time but it was past noon and Evie was dressed and Dean wasn't.
"Mm-hm funny. Make jokes," Dean said.
Evie looked at Sam and they both blushed. She gave Sam her best 'I'm sorry' look.
She was tense. Her spine was poking her hard which she only took to mean she was upset because she checked to make sure Cass hadn't knocked it out of place.
She heard Dean and Sam arguing over something but she wasn't listening. She was mulling over what Cass had told her. She was a nephilim. Not human. An abomination. Something that they hunted. She was pissed that all the years she was loyal to her father, that he never told her. She wondered if her mother knew what she was getting into when she found out she was having Evie.
Evie barely touched her food. "Excuse me," she said though neither boy was listening.
She disappeared silently into Dean's room. She pulled out the only picture of her mother she had. It was a picture of her mom in college. She was so happy. Tears started to fall. She heard a woosh and didn't even look up.
"What do you want Cass?" She was sad and pissed and her voice was raspy from tears.
His deadpan, raspy voice said, "I want to show you something." He held out his hand.
"Because you have grace you can do this with another angel. You don't have enough to do it on your own. And I'll have to heal you, otherwise you'll be out for a couple of days. You'll learn to build a tolerance to your grace. Start small. Like little wounds. Don't try to heal internal injuries…"
"Ok, ok Cass. You can go over the rules with me later. What do you want to show me?"
She grabbed Cass' hand. Her body went rigid. All she could see was blue. Then she felt like she was on a fast elevator. When they landed it was on grass.
Cass helped Evie up. "Should have told you to bend your knees. This is your mother's heaven."
"What?"
"Everyone gets their own piece of heaven. Unless of course they have met their soulmate. They spend heaven together."
"Mom?"
"She can't hear you or see you."
Evie recognized this place. It was the park in the picture of her mother. But she was in a red summer dress and she was holding something. Evie walked up to her. She wanted to hug her. Put her arms around her. Then she realized she was holding a baby.
"She got to meet you before she died. And her heaven is in this park, singing and cooing to you. You were her happiest moment ever," Cass said quietly behind her.
Her mother was singing a lullaby to the baby in her arms. Evie laughed and tears fell.
"Oh no, I've upset you again. That was not my intention."
"No no. I'm just happy. I'm happy that she's happy. I've never met her and this is as close as I'll ever get. Thank you so much Cass."
"I thought I should make up for trying to kill you earlier this morning."
Evie laughed. "No hard feelings. How's the sword search going?"
"Not well. Dean is calling. You've been missing for a good 6 hours. We should probably get back."
"What?!" she said as her body went rigid, she saw blue, and she felt her self falling.
