Let me get another chapter started and maybe posted. I know the last chapter was a bit of a tear jerker to many. There will be more I can promise you that. Anyways when Monica and Castiel get back, they find that Michael had come as he heard of the hybrid angel and he was on the hunt for her. Gabriel and Lucifer were a wreck when they arrived back at Gabriel's home.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Supernatural as if I did, I would have my own angel at my side if I did. I only borrow them. I own Monica and NoxyHart owns Raziel. Reviews are greatly appreciated.

Monica and Castiel arrived back as the hellhounds seemed to be a bit jumpy when they arrived. Castiel looked back at Monica worried as they headed inside. Lucifer and Gabriel had been standing in the kitchen as Gabriel turned to the door.

"I told you Michael that….Wait Monica, Castiel you are back. I am so glad you two are back. We sent Sam and Dean away with Crowley while Michael had been here. I am glad that you guys weren't out there alone. Michael is looking for Monica right now. It seems that he is in a rage that an angel created a half breed. He wants to kill the child and then make the father watch."

Castiel widened his eyes as Monica held the picture close to her chest. Castiel wrapped his arm around Monica as he shook his head.

"How would he even know who is a full angel and who is a half angel? I mean come on I could be seen as a half angel and nobody would question it either. Michael will never know about Monica and who she is."

Lucifer and Gabriel nodded as they looked over at them. Gabriel walked over and placed his hand on Monica's shoulder.

"Lucifer and I both will keep who you are hidden from Michael. We will not let Michael lie a hand on you."

Raziel nodded as he stood beside Gabriel and Lucifer. Raziel had seen the picture in Monica's hand as he walked over and she held out the picture to him. She smiled at him.

"This is my mother and I can see I look so much like her."

Raziel nodded as he looked up at her.

"You are your own person though. Sure you got looks from your parents, but you have your own look about yourself. I must admit, you did get your looks from your mother, but you have a special look about you."

She smiled and blushed softly. Gabriel smiled watching the two of them. Sam came up behind Gabriel as he seen the younger angels.

"Why don't you two go spend some time with each other? We got a few things to talk about. I mean Raziel is your guardian now. Figure you two need a chance to get to know each other."

Lucifer nodded as he watched the younger angels.

"Sam is right; you two need a chance to get to know each other. You guys go enjoy yourselves, let us adults talk and figure out what we are going to do about Michael."

Raziel nodded and he reached out and took her hand and led her out into the back. Gabriel looked over at Castiel and shook his head.

"Michael will be back, he will not give up his hunt for Monica. Castiel, I wanted you to know about this as this is bad. Michael has ordered any angel that finds Monica to kill her on the spot. None of us will kill her of course as she is safe here. I was the one who found her with Crowley. Crowley even made a comment about him killing a young angel female when she was a child. Michael still thinks she is alive is will stop at nothing."

Castiel sighed as he shook his head. He knew that his daughter's life would be in danger as long as she was thought to be alive. He turned to look back at the door that she left with Raziel. He knew that he would protect her, as any of them would keep her safe. He was surprised at Lucifer would be willing to protect her as well, but he seemed to have drawn a bond with her as well. Though when Michael had joined them the first day to protect her, Michael must have thought that Monica was a full angel.

"Gabriel, what if Michael comes back wanting to try to take Monica back to Heaven thinking she is still a full angel? He thinks we are harboring a half angel here, I am surprised he hadn't put it together yet."

Lucifer laughed shaking his head as he looked up at Castiel.

"Michael will think Monica is a full angel as long as we keep it a secret. We managed to fool Michael thinking the half angel slipped from our grasp."

Castiel nodded and bit his lip. His worry for his daughter grew as he knew how powerful Michael was, and it wouldn't be pretty if Michael found out who Monica was. He let out a sigh as he leaned against the wall.

Raziel had led Monica out to a small garden where several flowers were growing. She had bent down to look closer at one of the flowers. He smiled as he watched her and bent down beside her and plucked one of the flowers.

"Mom and I started this garden when he had found me. This garden right here is one of our secret places we like to relax and enjoy the quiet time, dad sometimes comes out here too. This place is where all of us come to collect our thoughts and enjoy the earth."

The flower he had picked was still in his hand as he reached up slipping it in Monica's hair and smiled. She blushed softly as she looked up at him. He was indeed very charming as she had the flower right behind her hair.

"You are like a flower, very fragile but very beautiful. You have no need to worry about anything; I will protect you with my life."

He reached up and cupped her cheek softly as he stroked her cheek with his thumb gently. His hands were soft on her cheek as she leaned into his touch. She was as trusting with Raziel as his hand slowly slipped down her neck softly. When she looked up at him, he bent down and kissed her softly. It was a simple kiss, but when he pulled away slightly, he leaned back down and kissed her a little deeper.

She blushed as she kissed him back. Not expecting the kiss as Raziel held her close as his forehead was pressed against hers as he smiled up at her.

"You make me so happy Monica. I don't care if you are a half angel or even human, you have a wonderful heart and I couldn't ask for anyone better to have."

She smiled as she cupped his cheek gently. He leaned into her touch as her touch was so gentle. He never thought he could find himself a mate that would make him happy the way Monica did. He allowed his wings to come out and wrap around Monica. A blanket of feathers made her feel safe and warm as she smiled at him.

He then reached up and pulled out one of his smaller feathers and held it out to her as she blushed and took it. She slid her hand over the beautiful sapphire blue feather as she willed her wings out as well. Their wings were entwined as she reached up to take a feather from her wing as well and held it out to him. She knew about the feathers are given as a mating gift and her accepting it and giving him one, she was accepting his ritual to mate with her.

They sat there beside the garden wrapped up in each other's wings and arms as enjoyed the time they were having together. The one thing that they didn't know, there were three angels watching them from the window, smiles across all their faces. Gabriel looked over at Castiel and smiled

"See I know how to play matchmaker very well don't I?"

Lucifer watched from behind Gabriel as he knew his son was happy as he found someone, the one thing he was worried about is if Michael ever found out. It would not end well for anyone.

"Gabriel, there is only one thing that I am worried about is Michael finds out about both of them. If he knows about what Monica is, then it could end up both of them getting killed if we are not careful. Raziel would not back down to protect any of us, if they become mates, Raziel would fight Michael to protect her."

Gabriel nodded as he placed his hand on the glass and sighed.

"I know that Lucifer, why do you think we are all here? We are all here to keep them both safe and protect them. Castiel, I know you and Monica had a heart to heart; next Lucifer and I will need to speak to Monica. She will need to know that we will keep her safe and make sure that our son is happy. I know she will make him happy as I can see that."

They all looked back out the window watching the younger angels. Lucifer placed his hand on Gabriel as he pointed to the children slowly coming inside. Their hands linked as their wings were gone. Gabriel smiled as the two of them having that intimate moment will be something that those two will always have together. Gabriel had walked down when the two younger angels walked in. Each one had a feather around their necks.

Gabriel smiled at the younger angels as he looked between the two.

"You two go get some rest; it is getting late as you two look like you guys could use it. We will talk more tomorrow alright?"

They nodded as they headed upstairs and walked into Monica's room and shut the door. Monica crawled into bed as Raziel slowly got up in bed beside her and smiled snuggling up against her. She held onto him as they slowly slipped into slumber, the older angels watching the future of the angels in that one room sleeping in each others arms.
