It had been two days since the angels left and still Dean was avoiding her, which to be honest in a house this small was an achievement. It was starting to get to her. When she cooked he never came in for meals, though she did notice the next time she was in the kitchen that the leftovers had mysteriously vanished. He never sat with her and Bobby watching the old TV or reading, it seemed he spent most of his time outside working on the cars, yet when she went out there to see him he was nowhere to be found. So it was with some surprise when she came down from putting Isobel to bed that she saw him sitting on the outside steps. She detoured into the kitchen and picked up two beers before taking a deep breath and heading outside.

"Hi Dean. Want a beer?" She said waving the bottle at him. This got no response so she decided to sit down beside him.

"You know Dean this has to stop. You are my brother and the only blood family I have left except my daughter. And not only that you are my daughters' father's best friend. Can't we at least be civil to each other or is that too much to ask?" this statement was greeted with silence.

Rose signed and got back up leaving the second bottle of beer next to Dean.

"You know you are not the only one worried about them Dean, they are my friends too." And with that she went inside without Dean acknowledging her presence once.

"Are you sure you wish to do this Gabriel, the cage after all is designed to contain archangels." Cas said as they got to the entrance and he turned to look at his brother.

Gabriel just smiled at him with a glint in his eyes which gave the impression that he knew something that Castiel did not.

"I'm well aware of the cage's function little bro. After all I am the one who built for our father, do you really think I didn't create myself an escape route should I ever end up inside?" And with that he winked at his brother and throw himself into the cage.

There was nothing he could do. His best friend had gone off to get his brother from a cage made by god to hold angels, what the fuck? He must have been crazy to even listen to the suggestion, though he knows deep down he would give anything for his brother. The only problem was he was starting to realise exactly what he could have given this time, not his own life but that of one who trusted him. What the hell was wrong with him? Yes okay his brother needed to be saved, but it should be his life at risk not Cas'. He had a family now, a daughter that needed him to be there for her, to protect her from the evils of the world.

But what did Cas do? He went to get his brother for him, leaving his daughter in Deans hands, the guy really had a screw loose. She was such a beautiful little girl, though she had her mother's blonde hair she had her father's blue eyes, eyes that stared at you as if she could read your soul, which maybe she could, she was half angel after all.

Dean knew all this because though he may have been avoiding her mother (and what the hell was that all about? He didn't know, all he knew was he couldn't stand to look at her) he had snuck into her room while she was sleeping, and played with her when she woke up. She was so sweet and sunny natured, she even had Cas' head tilt down to a tee, which always made him smile. Why did he let her father risk his life for his brother? She dissevered to grow up with her parents protecting and loving her.

Bobby watch Rose return from outside with a look of resignation on her face, she gave him a small smile then headed upstairs to her room. He sat there at his desk thinking. He knew that Dean went up to see Isobel when Rose wasn't around, just as he knew that Dean was avoiding Rose. The only thing he didn't know was why, though he had his suspicions on that one, after all Dean and Cas really did stare at each other…. a lot. It was time for it to stop, they were family and they needed each other. Time to talk to Dean then.

"What ya doing out here boy?" Bobby gruffly asked from the doorway.

"Thinking"

"Oh yeah, what about?" Dean turned to Bobby, saw he had got himself comfortable and knew there was no way to avoid this conversation.

"I shouldn't have let him go Bobby, he's got a kid here that needs a father. Why the hell did I think that my shit was more important than that? I should have gone with Gabriel to get Sam back not him."

"Ya idjit. Don't you see? He wanted you to get to know your sister and his daughter, you are his best friend Dean, his only family for the last year, he doesn't want to lose that."

"Yeah well, he has a new family now that should be first on his mind. I mean he could settle down with them and have a normal life."

"Oh for god's sake Dean, he's a friggin' angel of the lord. He's not going to settle down and have a normal life of it is he? You need to get over yourself and shelve your problems cos that woman in there is your sister, the only family you have left and you need to talk to her before you lose her too." And with that Bobby went back inside to sit at his desk and do some more research, hoping that he had managed to get through to him.
