Chapter 12

Home

Danny opened the back door of the bookstore with his key as Castiel helped Olivia out of Inez's car. Olivia moved slowly, more stiff and sore from too much time immobile than sick . As she planted her feet on the ground and was just about to take her first step toward home, she was swept off of her feet literaly.

"Ummm I can walk" she said to Castiel with a small laugh when he lifted her into his arms. "It's my arm that is in the cast remember?" she teased.

"The doctor said you would need rest to recover completely… there is no need for you to exert yourself more than necessary when I am here." he told her flatly, he then shifted his arms to cradle her in a more comfortable position.

"Castiel a few steps aren't going to hurt, and that is not what the doctor meant." she sighed.

"…You need to rest and you will do so as long as I am looking after you." he stated with the same firm tone.

Inez watched the conversation, amused, from the front seat of her car.

"Don't fight it Vee." she laughed, "You're not gonna get this offer everyday." she joked. "Besides it's romantic as all hell." she grinned

"You're not helping." Olivia grumbled at her friend.

Castiel ignored her protests and continued on to carry her through the open door of the shop. Danny closed and once again locked the door behind them, before retuning to the car with Inez, to go and pick up dinner for everyone.

Olivia narrowed her eyes at the angel but, gave up the fight and slid her good arm around his neck. "You're being impossible you know." she whispered stretching her neck forward towards his ear. Castiel simply looked at her then continued to carry Olivia up the stairs to her apartment and he didn't set her down until he reached her bedroom.

Olivia had woken up three days ago, at first she was alarmed and then frightened and finally completely freaked out, to find she had been comatose nearly 2 weeks. The Doctor reassured her she would be fine, aside from a few months of medication to make sure the seizures were stable and needing a new cast on her arm, as the other one was now soaked from the tub, she would be just fine.

When Danny arrived a few hours later, Castiel was thrilled to see the boys eyes light up at the sight of his mother sitting upright and talking. Inez was relieved it was over and Castiel did what angels do best… he observed it all.. But he never left Olivia's side.

Walking into the bedroom Castiel gently sat Olivia on the bed, then immediately knelt at her feet and began to pull off her shoes. He slid them under the bed then he looked up at her with a small smile. She wanted to tell him she could do this herself, but it was obvious he wouldn't let her and in a strange way she sensed he almost needed to care for her this way.

His eyes closed as if looking for composure, "Olivia, I thought…" his voice faded, and she understood.

"Shh" she quieted his concerns and reached to stroke his cheek, he eagerly tilted his head into the caress, then took her hand in his and kissed her palm. He missed her, he missed having her to himself, this small gesture told her all she needed to know about what the angel was feeling. All she could do in response was nod.

He rose to his knees and leant close to her, there were no words for what he was feeling. His lips brushed gently against hers at first, before parting enough to taste her lips. The kiss was tender and gentle and spread into countless tiny flutters across her chin and down her neck, as he first cupped her face in his hands and then cradled her head as she revealed her neck. Her own hand reaching around his neck to twist her fingers through his hair. "I love you." she whispered to him when his lips again met hers. A small smile curled his mouth, hearing her say the words. They had shared many kisses and she had told him many times she loved him since she came to, but now that she was home and on the way to recovering, it somehow meant something more to the angel.

"I love you Olivia." he whispered against her waiting mouth, kissing her deeply, before he gently held her head against his chest for a moment, "You need to get in bed." he told her, brining his face to hers and bumping his nose against her own, she gigged and bit his lip.

Castiel returned the kiss and chuckled. "You need rest" he chided. "We can continue this after you are rested and settled."

"I need you." she persisted with a kiss. "I've missed you." she breathed against his ear, the words and the want they contained, not to mention his own desire caused him to release a playful growl.

"You need to change and rest." his words betrayed his need.

"It is safe to assume you are staying then." she questioned.

Castiel closed his eyes and rested his forehead against hers. "Of course, Olivia I would not leave you now… I will stay until I am satisfied you are well."

She nodded causing noses to bump and lips to play once again.

Castiel pulled away from her long enough to retrieve clothing from her dresser. He found pajamas then returned and knelt in front of her again. Olivia stood to unfasten her jeans and found the angels hands were eager to help. Castiel from his place on the floor tugged the faded denim down over her hips allowing his hands to brush over the warms smooth skin of her hips and legs as he did. His mouth wanted nothing more than to plant kisses on the silken flesh under his hands and he was finding it hard to breathe as he instructed her to sit down and he worked the fabric away from her legs. Once her flesh was bare in front of him he couldn't help but let his hands wander over the soft smooth skin of her legs again. Rising to his knees once more.

"I miss you touching me" she told him as she bent her head and reached her hand behind his neck to pull him closer

"Me too…" he breathed into her waiting lips allowing his hands to settle on her hips. "…But for now…" he smiled as he pulled away, trying to focus on the task at hand rather than the want screaming in his chest and groin.

His hands reached for the hem of her t-shirt but found her hips once again to too close to be ignored. He slid his hands over them before grasping the shirt and they both let out wantons sighs before their mouths locked together in a much deeper kiss.

"I've missed this." he sighed into her ear as he lifted the t-shirt, slowing to work the sleeve around the cast on her left arm.

"Yes." Olivia nodded against him reveling in the sensation of his fingers on her skin.

He pulled away again with her t-shirt in his hand. "You are making this very difficult" he said with a chuckle.

"I'm sorry" she giggled, leaning forward then pulling him back to her and wrapping her arm around his neck.

"You don't look sorry." he playfully growled at her, pressing his mouth to her bare shoulder.

"I'm sorry we don't have more time alone right now." she offered.

He again released a small rare laugh, "That is regrettable." he agreed as she softly bit into the flesh of the crook of her neck.

The moment was interrupted by the sound of the apartment door opening then closing and Inez's voice instructing the boys to "put the food in the kitchen."

After dinner Inez cleaned up the mess and did the dishes, Castiel walked Olivia to the couch. She could have gotten there perfectly fine on her own but, the angel was insistent she not do anything on her own, so insistent she half expected him to feed her dinner, he didn't, thankfully. Danny and Brian played video games and Erin, Brian's five year old sister nagged them relentlessly to let her play too. After everyone had gone home for the night Castiel and Danny ordered Olivia back to bed. She didn't argue the day had brought more commotion than she had endured in a while and she was looking forward to sinking deep in her bed under the comforter, she just hoped those plans included her favorite angel.

Once in her room Castiel went to check all of the doors and make sure everything was locked for the night and Danny sat on his mothers bed with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Olivia asked the boy.

Danny shook his head, "Nothing…" he said

"You were afraid I wouldn't wake up huh?" she asked him gently

He nodded and Olivia could see the tears he was fighting, she could imagine what those two weeks were like for him.

"I'm sorry Danny." she said opening her arms and letting him fall into a hug.

"If doesn't matter… you're okay now.' he said with a small crack in his voice.

"I'm okay… but it does matter." she told him, "I should have made better arrangements…. I should have made sure you felt safe."

"It's okay I was safe, Inez took care of me and Castiel took care of you for me and it was all okay." he told her at a fast pace that she knew meant he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Danny… I love you. Listen to me you won't ever end up with your father and you will not ever end up with mine. Understand?"

He nodded.

"If something happens to me you, will be with Inez. You will be okay… I should have explained all of this to you… I just never thought…" her voice trailed off and the boy recognized the tears now forming in his mother eyes.

"It's okay" he told her as he hugged her. "I was scared but, I knew you'd be okay. I.. I.. just wanted you to wake up… I wanted you to come home."

"I know" Olivia told him softly as she stroked his hair and held her son. "I promise I'm not going anywhere."

Castiel stood in the doorway watching the mother and child, the dynamics of this sort of relationship was still very new to him. He was impressed none the less with the love and reassurance the two shown for one another. He wondered if all parent child relationships were this way. He assumed not, based on some of the things he had seen while on earth.

Olivia looked up to see Castiel leaning in the door way and she gave him a small smile and a nod signaling he could come in. The angel entered the room quietly and sat on the other side of the bed and looked at them both intently.

"So are you alright?" Olivia asked Danny

"Yeah" he smiled

"Good."

"Does it hurt?" he asked pointing to her cast.

"Not bad." she assured him.

"Should I get your medicine?" he asked.

Olivia nodded "That might be a good idea."

"He missed you terribly." Castiel told her in a low voice as soon as Danny was out of the room.

"All we have ever had is each other." she said with a thoughtful nod.

"He loves you very much, you are as much his friend as his mother." Castiel observed.

"I think he was the first person who ever really loved me back." she said her voice tinged with sadness

"Olivia-" Castiel whispered.

"Shh.. You were the second and that's good enough for me."

"There are many who love you." Castiel corrected.

When Danny returned with the medicine he had a dvd in his hand.

"Can we watch this or is it too late?" he asked.

Olivia sighed "It's late but… yes come on." she said moving over and making more room for Danny on the bed.

The movie was Spiderman, it was Danny's favorite to watch when he was sick, now he thought it might cheer up his mother.

Olivia snuggled between the two her angel and her son, while they passed a bowl of popcorn between them and Danny oooh'd and ahhh'd pointing out his favorite parts to Castiel. Olivia smiled in her sleepy haze watching the two of them get along so well.

When the movie was over Danny got up and kissed his mother goodnight and went to his room. Castiel took the empty bowl of popcorn to the kitchen, on his way back he was met in the living room by Danny.

"Thank you." the boy said as sincerely as he had ever said anything in this life. Just before throwing his arms around the angel.

Castiel was taken by surprise at the boys show of emotion but was happy to return the hug.

"You're staying with her tonight? Right?" Danny questioned.

"Yes" Castiel confirmed. "She won't be alone." he assured

"Okay" Danny said.

"Remember what he talked about." Castiel reminded.

Danny nodded and reached into the pocked of his pajamas and pulled out a small paper. "I made a bunch of copies." the boy said.

"Good." the angel replied.
