He remembers when Castiel was 'born'. After years of being the baby of heaven himself he hated it, he always ha. He was glad someone else took his torment. But now that didn't even matter all he cared about was making his baby brother smile again. Just as the older angels do with him and Cas.
The next morning Gabriel was the first to wake up, rubbing the tiredness out of his eyes he went to the bathroom getting himself ready for the day. He walked into the bathroom turning on the warm water to allow it to heat up to his preferred temperature. When it was ready he undressed himself then jumped in.
After ten minutes he came out dressed and showered, ready to start the day.. He then walked into the kitchen and began cooking breakfast. He got out a pan, along with eggs; flour; butter; milk and a spatula. Getting out a big bowl he mix up the correct ingredients together and made enough pancakes and eggs for everyone. He then searched for bread and toasted a couple of slices. Once everything had finished cooking he placed it all on the table. With a proud smile at his work Gabriel then walked to the living room to wake up everyone sot they could eat breakfast and also get ready for the day.
Quietly tip toeing into the centre of the living room Gabriel drew a deep breath. He then yelled out "EVERYONE GET UP BREAKFAST IS READY!" Michael let out a ((not so manly)) screech at the frightening noise. Dean and Balthazar both shot up running into the kitchen to be the first to get food. Lucifer with a groan rolled off the couch then sluggishly stood up and walked out to the kitchen to eat followed by Sam. Castiel was the last to remain sleeping, he had always been difficult to wake up.
"Cas buddy time to get up breakfast is ready." He said gently shaking the sleeping angel.
"Noooo Gaby, more sleeeeepp." He whined drawing the blankets closer. Gabriel with a huff took the blanket off of Castiel and lifted the toddler into his strong arms. He gently bounced him in a effort to awaken the little boy even more. He then walked into the kitchen to see everyone already sitting down.
Dean and Balthazar had plates stacked with food and weird eating as if it was their last meal. Sam and Michael though had began drinking coffee and if had been other people they would have died from the amount of coffee made for just the two of them. Only Lucifer was eating normally, which was a shock since he usually is quickly eating as well, Gabriel has a feeling that this is because of how little sleep they got last night.
Gabriel sat down on a chair with Castiel on his lap he grabbed two plates and made of for himself the grabbed Castiel's plate. "What do you want buddy?"
"No' hung'y Gaby." He mumbled quietly rubbing his eyes with his tiny balled up fist.
"Cas buddy, you have to eat something, can you at least eat a slice of toast? For me buddy?" He asked giving Cas puppy dog eyes, poking the toddler in his ticklish belly. With a laugh Castiel grabbed his belly.
"Otay Gaby! No tickles!" He said laughing. Gabriel smiling kissing Castiel's forehead, he then grabbed a a slice of toast for Cas and spread raspberry jam on the slice. He gave Cas the slice, and he began nibbling the slices.
"'o wha' 'e do'in 'ay?" Dean asked with a mouth full of food.
"Dean swallow then ask." Sam growled at his older 'more mature' brother.
With a swallow Dean repeated the sentence "So what are we doing today?"
"Well I am going to do some research and I thought maybe the angels could help?" Sam asked using his dreaded puppy dog eyes, something no person could ever deny.
"Sure we will help moose. Balthazar and Cas can play outside for a bit." Gabriel said as he grabbed a napkin wiping the jam of his little brother's messy face.
"Awesome!" Balthazar said happily. "I'm going to get ready!" Balthazar said running upstairs to get dressed.
Gabriel stood up holding onto Cas. "Come on baby you need a bath and a good bandage change." He then walked to the bathroom.
Turning on the water he waited until it was warmed up until he placed the undressed Castiel in the tub. He filled the bath with bubbled to distract the toddler from getting cleaned up, he knew it would especially hurt his still opened wounds.
The second Castiel entered the water he let out a soft whine and tried to move away. "Hur's Gaby." He said teary eyed/
"I know buddy but it will be over soon then you can go play outside with Balthazar." He then proceeded to wash Castiel's hair and clean his wounds. When he finished bathing him he grabbed a large fluffy white towel and wrapped Cas in it when he pulled him out of the now drained tub.
He carried him to Castiel's bed room and sat him on the soft bed. He got out his bandages an salve and began to re-wrap the wounds. He then poofed up some clothes his size and got him dressed. When he was done he set the now clean Cas on the floor, holding his hand he walked them both back out to living room were Balthazar stood waiting excited.
"Okay Balthazar remember to watch him okay?" The young teen nodded. "Also remember the second he gets tired or one of you gets hurt come inside, okay?" Another nod. "Good, both of you have fun." Gabriel kissed both of their foreheads and walked off. Balthazar held onto his little brothers hand and they both went outside.
Once they were outside Balthazar turned to Castiel. "So what should we do buddy?"
"Cops an' 'obbe's ((robbers))!" He said bouncing up down happily, he was excited to play with his big brother.
"Cops and robbers it is then." Balthazar smirked evilly looking at Cas he then began to run away (slowly) laughing. "You never catch me alive copper!" Castiel stood still for a second before he two laughed and chased after his older brother.
It was about twenty minutes into their game when Castiel tripped on a branch crashing down on the floor. His knees and hands were scrapped and blood. He sat for a minute when the pain came and it stung horribly. He cried at the stinging, which seemed to hurt worse then his other wounds ever did. ((Like a sticking paper cut, those things are true evil!))
Balthazar saw this and stopped running away, in favour of running towards his brother to help him. As he knelled next to him he began helping Castiel. What neither saw a man standing just a few feet away with a angel blade in hand.
"I am going to go check on the boys." Gabriel said.
"Actually its about lunch time, lets all take a break then get back to work." Michael said standing up stretching.
"We can all go to that diner down the road." Dean suggested. Everyone nodded then all walked outside to get the boys ready.
When they finally got there though the boys were no where to be seen. After ten minutes of looking that was when Gabriel began freaking out.
"They're gone!" He screamed out, it was heart breaking. When a guardian is forcefully separated from their charge the results are worse then any punishment to them.
"Wait do you feel that?!" Lucifer yelled worried.
"What?" Dean asked, his hair was all frizzled and he looked like a mess from the search.
"Someone else was here. Another angel, I can sense another grace was here..."

Sneak peak at the next chapter (as a sorry for being so late):
The screams had stopped it seemed to empty the whole room. Everyone was scared, this should have happened not to them. Tears rushed down Gabriel's cheeks he held the cold, still body in his hands. The contrast between his skin and the child's in his arms was terrifying he was afraid of what happened. Reaching up to the neck of the child begging for _ to be alive he shakily felt for a pulse, there was ...
