A/N 1: Well... Hello everyone! I'm sorry about not updating in a while. In about seven days, it'll be about a month since I've updated. I am not the type to update once every month, hell no! It's just... the last time I updated, it was the weekend before I went to the cardiologist. The cardiologist put me on a 24 hour holter monitor. Come to find out, I have a very common condition that mostly happens in young women. It mostly deals with anxiety which is a bit of a coincidence because I was diagnosed with anxiety when I was 11. So, this past month has just been a rollercoaster. Plus, I've been having some personal problems which stopped me from keeping my thoughts straight. I suppose you guys don't care, so on with the story! :3

I bet you guys are gonna be pissed at me for writing this chapter because it has a very shocking surprise that'll make you want to throw tomatoes or whatever at me... D:

Courage by Orianthi has helped me with this chapter. :3

"Where we going, Dean?" Adam asked impatiently as he kicked his legs back in forth. He was sitting in his carseat in the back of the Impala, watching Castiel and Dean get in the car.

"It's a surprise, buddy," Dean said softly.

"Surprise?" the three-year-old asked as his eyes widened.

"Yep. It's gonna be a bit of a drive, though," Dean said.

Adam whined and crossed his arms over his little chest. He hated long car drives.

"It'll be worth the wait," Castiel said, smiling at the three-year-old.

45 minutes later found them at a beach and Adam asleep in his carseat.

"I'm gonna go ahead and tell them we're here. Can you bring Adam down when you wake him up?" Dean asked quietly.

Castiel nodded and smiled after Dean gave him a chaste kiss and watched his lover run down to the beach. He sighed before opening the back door of the car and unbuckled Adam and picked him up. He looked down at Adam and smiled softly. "Wakie wakie, Adam."

Adam buried his face into Castiel's neck and mumbled, "'m t'red."

"I know, but you remember that surprise?" Castiel asked, hoping the mention of the 'surprise' would wake of the child.

Adam's head perked up, his blue eyes wide. "The surprise is here?" he asked tiredly.

Castiel nodded. "Yep," he said as he started walking down to the beach.

Once they got to the beach, a chorus of "SURPRISE!" was heard, scaring Adam into tears.

"Oh! Um... sorry guys. He just woke up," Castiel said before trying to calm the distraught three-year-old, now four-year-old. Adam clung to Castiel when Dean tried to take him out of his arms.

"Hey, buddy. I'm sorry we scared you. We just wanted to throw you a birthday party," Dean explained softly.

Adam stopped crying and picked his head up from Castiel's shoulder and sniffled, wiping the tears on his cheeks away. "A birthday party?"

Dean smiled. "Yeah! You know it's your birthday today. I thought you'd have some kind of idea what we were going to do today, but I guess you didn't know that people can have a birthday party with a lot of people," Dean said. He turned around to look at the other people and smiled. "I'm sorry. Sam, Adam, and I don't usually have birthday parties. I mean, we do have a cake and presents, but we've never done something like this..."

"Well.. we'll just have to make it a great first birthday party then," Balthazar said with a smile.

And a great first birthday party it was.

Balthazar, Crowley, Gabriel, Sam, Dean, Castiel, and Adam all brought their swimming trunks, so they swam and played in the water, and they also brought some sand toys so they could make sand castles. Adam had fun burying Dean and Castiel with the help of Sam in the sand. They had bought Adam his own cake which was the Hulk, and the others had to share a cake. Adam's favorite part was, of course, opening the presents.

He had gotten four new Hulk pajamas from Dean and Sam, a Hulk nightlight from Castiel, a Hulk plushie from Gabriel, both of the Hulk movies and much to everyone's surprise, a Hulk costume from Crowley and Balthazar.

"What do you say Adam?" Dean had asked him, hoping he would get the answer he was expecting.

The three-year-old smiled sheepishly and said as he hugged his new plushie to him, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, little man," Crowley said.

Adam smiled at the man before glancing at Dean. "Can I wear the costume, please?"

Dean let out a loud laugh before answering, "How did I know you were going to ask that? You're gonna have to wait until Halloween, bud."

Adam gaped. "But- That's so far away!"

"It'll be here in no time," Gabriel assured the child.

"Fine," Adam said, pouting.

Dean kneeled down and bumped the child's chin with his index finger and said, "Hey, now. None of that." When Adam continued to pout, Dean's resolve broke and he said softly, "Fine you can wear it at home and only at home."

Adam perked up and threw his arms around Dean's shoulders. "Yay!"

"I'm so gonna regret this decision," Dean mumbled causing everyone to laugh.

"He certainly had fun," Dean said as he laid Adam, who was clutching the Hulk plushie to his chest, down on his bed and covered him up.

"Yeah," Castiel said, chuckling lightly.

Dean turned toward his lover and gave him a soft smile and Castiel returned the smile back and they just stared into each other's eyes.

The doorbell decided to ring a few moments later.

"I'll go get it, you stay here," Castiel said as he quickly walked up to Dean to give him a quick kiss and darted out of the room.

Once he got to the door, he let out a breath and opened it, his eyes widening at the sight in front of him.

"Well, hello, my love..."

He was about ready to yell out for Dean, but the person in front of him lunged for him and covered his mouth with a cloth and he immediately started to get lightheaded and the next thing he saw was darkness.

Dean had waited for Castiel for about 10 minutes until he started getting worried.

"Cas?" he called out as he walked out of Adam's bedroom. When he didn't get a response, he walked up the steps and looked around for his lover. "Cas?!" He then went upstairs, searching his bedroom and the loft, and when he didn't see him anywhere, he shouted out, "CASTIEL?!"

"What's with the shouting?" Sam asked as he walked up the steps.

"I can't find Cas," he told him, running toward the door.

"What do you mean?" the 15-year-old asked, confused.

"I can't find him!" he exclaimed as he ran out the door. "CAS?!" he yelled as he frantically searched the street, tears already running down his face. "WHERE ARE YOU, CASTIEL?!" When he didn't get an answer, he fell to his knees and cried.

Castiel was in a dark room, a man was watching him as he slept. The man had dirty blond hair and light blue eyes. He ran his pale hand down Castiel's cheek as he said, "I've finally found you, my love. We will forever be together."
