A/N: I don't own anyone but my OC's, so please don't sue me…..Again I want to thank everyone out there for reading and reviewing as all of the support means the world to me!!!
It's been a while since I updated this story but here it is the next update!!!
Castiel fidgeted nervously with the buttons on his shirt. Dean looked up seeing the nervousness dancing in his eyes.
"Cas, will you relax? You're starting to make me nervous."
"Sorry Dean, it's just….." Dean waved his hand dismissingly.
"Cas, you love her right?" The angel nodded his head. Of course he loved her! She was his soulmate.
"Then don't be nervous. You're an angel of the freaking Lord this should be a cakewalk for you."
The angel shot a look in the hunter's direction.
"This isn't a cakewalk as you call it."
Dean chuckled as he finished getting ready as well. Seeing the seraph like this was rather amusing for the hunter. Usually he was stoic and fierce, a warrior. But today he was almost….human. From the way he fumbled with his buttons to the anxiety that laced his sapphire depths.
Castiel was beside himself, unable to even speak as Dean was asking questions about where they were going after, what he had planned and so on. The hunter's voice was like at the end of a tunnel to the angel as he felt Dean's hands work bright blue tie. It was the same faithful accessory that he wore when they first met in New Orleans and it was Dean of all people who suggested he wear it.
Dean had gotten past his hang ups over the relationship between the angels as he still loved Brooklyn but she was truly happy with Cas and that was all that mattered.
"There now you're ready to roll," Dean winked and flashed his million dollar smile.
As Dean was helping Castiel, Brooklyn had put the finishing touches on her dress. She refused to wear some heavy white gown as she wanted to keep it simple. It was powder blue with a slit that ran up to her mid thigh. Two spaghetti thin straps held the delicate but fluid material on her body. She wished her parents and brother were alive to see this day.
"Showtime," she whispered before heading out the door.
The sun was lowering over the sky as everyone had gotten in place. Brady was acting as her man of honor as she didn't have any female companions. Despite this, the young hunter was just happy to see his best friend had found her perfect match. He waited with Sam alongside Gabriel who was going to proceed over the ceremony. Dean and Castiel were on the other side of the Messenger watching and waiting.
"What if she doesn't want to do this?"
Dean slapped his hand to his forehead and shook his head.
"Cas, you're getting nervous over nothing. Brook will not get cold feet trust me."
"Castiel, my daughter loves you. She would not leave you here like this," Gabriel reassured the jittery angel.
Castiel nodded and took a deep breath and looked ahead again.
Brooklyn walked to where Markus was waiting for her. The immortal watched as she walked barefoot down the path. He blinked and saw a five year old girl with pig tails wide bright eyes and sweet smile. Markus closed his eyes again and this time saw her appear once again.
He extended his arm and she linked hers within his own and as one they strolled towards an anxious waiting angel.
The torches burned bright and steady as the sun dipped below the water casting a soft orange glow. The wind had died down and the waves crashed and lapped against the fine sandy beaches. Castiel saw her first as she rounded the clearing with Markus beside her. His heart stopped at the sight of his angel in the gorgeous blue dress and coppery red hair flowing around her. She wore the shell bracelet around her ankle, the same one he had given her on their trip to the Black Sands.
Dean smiled at her knowing this was where she needed to be, with Castiel. Brooklyn arrived and looked over at the angel. Her eyes flashed blue and green notes as he took her arm.
"Cas, breathe," she told the angel. Castiel nodded and forced his vessel to inhale then exhale.
Brooklyn tightened her fingers on his forearm and looked up at her father. Gabriel beamed at both of them feeling his soul rejoice at this very tender moment. He stopped himself short of welling up and crying with joy as his daughter had found true happiness.
"Good luck Cas," Dean whispered to the angel and flashed his trademark shit eating grin.
Gabriel waited until everyone was settled in before starting with his opening words. He started in Aramaic which only the angels could understand. The hunters waited patiently as Gabriel finished up.
"Now for our non-Aramaic speaking friends and family. Today we are here to witness the joining of two halves to one soul. It is rare any one soul finds its other half but today we all are blessed to be here and be privy to such an occasion. Brooklyn would like to say a few words to Castiel."
Brooklyn and Castiel turned to face one another. Their hands slid comfortably within the other as the gently breeze danced around them. Brooklyn cleared her throat and gathered the courage to speak her with heart.
"Cas, ever since that day in New Orleans you changed my life and everyone's around me. Through the darkness you were the light. Through the pain you were the cure. You mended my broken heart and showed me once again that I could love another. You are my life and complete my soul and being."
Dean wasn't one for chick flick moments but he made an exception just this one time. He waited for Cas to speak up. The hunter helped the angel in finding the right words to say. Castiel squeezed her hands and let his soul speak.
"Brooklyn, we have had a rough and difficult road and our love has been tested over and over again but we persevered through the trial by fire time and time again. Our love has persevered and remained tight defying all odds and those who sought to destroy what we have. Today we will truly become one."
Brooklyn smiled and felt a few tears welling up in her eyes. Her angel's words tugged her heart and soul as she felt her wings slowly unfurl from behind her back. In times of great emotion the silken pinions would reveal themselves to anyone around. But today she didn't feel so vulnerable or exposed as everyone around here were those she trusted and loved.
"Now the rings," Gabriel spoke up. Brady fetched the silver band for Castiel as Dean placed the one for Brooklyn in the angel's hand.
"Repeat after me," he looked at Brooklyn first, "With this ring I thee take…"
"With this ring I thee take…."
"You Castiel as my soulmate…."
"You Castiel as my soulmate…."
Gabriel watched as she slid the ring on the angel's left ring finger. The Messenger turned to the Castiel.
"Castiel repeat after me…..With this ring I thee take…."
"With the right I thee take…"
"You Brooklyn as my soulmate…"
"You Brooklyn as my soulmate…."
His voice cracked as the words formed upon his lips and tongue. Brooklyn smiled at the emotions that ran through her angel knowing he was experiencing more human sensations and feelings.
Gabriel looked at everyone gathered, "If I have no objections, then I am pleased to announce the union of Castiel and Brooklyn."
Castiel eagerly leaned in taking her lips within his own. The sweet soft mouth was warm and inviting as the angel slipped his tongue between their mouths. Their first kiss as man and wife sent charges through his body fanning the tiny flames of desire through his body. The angel fought to suppress the urge to vanish with Brooklyn to some secluded location but knew it would be their time soon enough.
The Messenger let his own wings span out as Castiel allowed his to unfurl as well. There was not a dry eye in group. Bobby tried to be conspicuous as he wiped away a tiny tear.
"Bobby are you crying?" Sam caught the hunter's movements.
"No, I've got something in my eye," he grumbled.
"Right," Sam patted his back.
Bobby knew if Dean saw him he would never let it down.
The cake was marble with buttercream icing. Cas scooped up a small piece and tenderly placed it Brooklyn's mouth. She closed her eyes and sucked away the thick rich sweetness off his digits knowing it was driving the angel wild inside. Castiel gulped hard as he let his fingers slip away from her mouth. Brooklyn took a tiny portion between her own fingers and popped it in her angel's waiting mouth. Castiel ran his tongue along her slender fingers allowing them to slip away leaving two clean digits behind.
The angel leaned in kissing her lightly tasting icing and cake against her lips. His sharp memory committed every taste touch and sound ignoring the flashes of the cameras around them. Let em snap and click away as they wouldn't be around for a while after the ceremony.
The angels gathered and lit their own candlesticks watching the tiny flames grow and dance. Carefully they joined their flames together and lit the unity candle. Each blew out the smaller flames and looked on in awe as the large flame burned bright in the night.
Gifts would be after the couple returned as everyone would gather back in Phoenix. Brooklyn had found something for her father and wanted to give it to him before they left. The Messenger wasn't expecting anything from her as being there to see her marry the great love of her life was a gift all in its own for him. But nonetheless Gabriel was moved by her gesture and opened the tiny box.
"My daughter…." He found a small pendant that held a small tuft of her baby hair.
"I know you weren't around much but I thought this would complete the circle for you."
Gabriel placed the chain around his neck and tucked the pendant against his skin. It was truly a blessing indeed. He gathered his daughter in his arms feeling his tears fall down his eyes. The archangel pulled away and held her face in his larger hands.
"Now go and revel in being with your angel. We'll make sure things are quiet back home," he winked at Brooklyn.
She nodded and kissed him on the cheek before saying goodbye to everyone else.
Dean held her tight and kissed her on the lips in a friendly gesture. He didn't realize how touched he was by seeing her with Castiel. It was as if his own heart had finally been healed as well.
"Don't get too rough with him now. He is a virgin you know," Brooklyn playfully smacked him on the arm.
"Smartass," she jabbed back.
Everyone had finally left leaving the angels alone on the beach. Castiel turned to Brooklyn seeing she was ready to take off.
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle," she teased in his ear. Her hot breath brushed against his ear sending shivers up and down his spine. Oh the things he wanted to do when they got to their destination.
