I don't own SPN or Vampire Diaries

Chapter 38 – What does it mean?

Surprisingly it was Castiel, who answered. "If you would bind yourself to each other you would become one."

Great more riddles, why do angels have to speak that way? Is it so hard for them to say things like they are? Yeah I know never before in history has an x pointed to the treasure. The lore also described such a thing, but not how or what that would entail.

"And that means what?" Dean asks angry.

"For example you could become immortal." Gabriel says with a smile.

"He is already immortal." I tell them without thinking. But of course besides Dean nobody understands what I mean with that. We didn't tell them about the implication of the Mark.

"What? How?" Sam bewildered wants to know.

Apologizing I look at Dean, because he didn't want that his brother knows that, me and my fast mouth. His eyes tell me, that because I spilled the beans I have to tell them. Awesome. "The Mark of Cain." I say simply and let them figure it out by themselves.

"What has the Mark of Cain to do with Dean?" Cas wants to know.

"Fuck." Sam says.

"You can say that again." I try to ignore Cas question, but of course the archangel has to criss-cross my plans.

"Are you telling us that Dean has taken the Mark of Cain?" Gabriel concludes for Cas after he has figured it out. Instead of voicing the answer we simply nod.

"Do you know what that means, Dean? You doomed yourself." Cas yells at Dean. Wow, that was the first time that I have seen the angel show emotions to that extent. But his face was furious like he wants to rip Dean a new one. I felt the same way, but Dean was scold for that enough already. So that's not important at the moment, but of course Dean has other plans.

"Yeah I know now, but get this Cas I would do it again even after what I know now, because it is a way to protect my family." Dean says as he angered gets up from his seat. Ok that is new to me, but it shouldn't surprise me it is the way Dean is wired.

"Dumb human." Cas yells.

Shit, that goes too far, before Dean kills him, his best friend. I get up from my seat, but I am not the only one with that idea, Damon and Sam got also up. Because of his vampire speed Damon was the fastest so he positioned himself between Dean and the angel and tries to calm him down. Thank God that Damon and Dean have formed a friendship. But Dean was angered like I have never seen him before. So I try to ground him with my touch. Somehow it works and some of the tension left his body, but he is still pissed and that means his tongue is very loose.

"Let's not forget that you saved this dumb human l from hell." he yells back, but he wasn't finished. "Douchebag." Dean really was pissed, that is normally a title for the angels, who are one and not Cas, who is his best friend and I can see in the angels face that he was hurt by that. But even if I pity him, he also deserved it, but the fight has to stop.

I reach for Dean's head and make him look into my eyes. Slowly he moves his face into my direction. As soon as his eyes found mine I say. "I know you are pissed, Baby, but it is Cas."

"That doesn't mean that he can be like the rest of them and you consider him as godfather for Bobby." he says with a fewer anger. But his slipped statement doesn't go unregistered by all my brothers and I know that they all are disappointed that I didn't consider them. I wanted to tell them in person and alone to make them understand. Stefan is the easiest I can feel his disappointment, but I also feel that he knows I have a reasons for that. Damon on the other hand will accept it, without saying anything, because he thinks that he isn't worth to be considered, which of course isn't true. But Sam will be affected by this the most, because he would have believed that his brother would consider him over Cas. Not that he is jealous, but because of the bond that is different than any other brothers I know. I have talk to them and soon.

But that is a problem for later at the moment I have to bring Dean down from his anger trip, before he really kills Cas. "I see it the same way, but I think that is Cas way of showing that he cares about you." In Dean's eyes I see that he processes that and after some moments he visible relaxes. He still was pissed, but he has it under control.

I turn to Cas and ask him. "Was that necessary Cas?"

"I apologize Izabelle, I was simply shocked." Cas said embarrassed and I can see that he means it.

"But this showed us something important." Gabe interferes.

"And what?" I ask him nerved.

"That Dean and you already more connected than we thought." he concludes.

"Which means?" I fix him with my eyes.

"You are his anchor and therefore his anger is under control. After such comment Cain would have slaughter everyone in the room, but you calmed him."

He is right every time, if Dean was pissed since he has the Mark and I was close by I could divert the tension away from him. That is a good thing. That means that Dean wouldn't become a hunter on a killing spree. "Wow." Sam voiced, what I and probable the rest of the room thinks.

"A possible bonding between the two of you would stabilize your ability, like in the prophecy foretold you two balance each other out." Castiel spins the point further.

"Do you mean marriage?" Dean asks them after he was finally calm.

"Not in a traditional way, because for such a bond you need the blessings of heaven and hell." Gabriel.

"Which means we would need …" I start, but before I could say anything more the devil appears.

"Me." Crowley says.

"I have told you that I hate him." Damon says with anger.

"Get in line." Dean and Sam say at the same time.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him angered.

"Kitty you need me and you know it, so call me for the big day." with that he vanishes. Oh I hate him, why can't we kill him. After this whole thing is somehow arranged that will be my next project. But until then I can dream about it and throw knifes at the places he has just yet left. Even if it was simply a butter knife with the right technic and power behind it could still be make a mess. So everyone jumps out of the way as I throw them.

Before I can reach for a third one, I feel Deans hand on mine. With that gesture it is clear to me, that not only I am his anchor, but he is mine as well. Balance is good thing. "Baby, he is gone." he whispers in my ear.

"Yeah I know."

"I think we should stop for today."

I simply nod to his proposal and he leads me out of the room, but before I am out of earshot of the others I yell. "Damon, Stefan, Sam can we talk to the three of you for a moment please?" They all nod at my question. Good. I take Deans hand and lead him into the living room and wait for them.

Only moments after Dean took place on the couch all three of them enter the room. "What do you want?" Damon wants to know. I see his disappointment.

"I want to talk to you, about Deans slip up!"

"What slip up?" he wants to know.

I look at him. "About Cas being godfather to Bobby."

"Shit." yeah you spilled the beans.

"It will be a son and you naming him after Bobby?" Sam wants to know. Damon and Stefan were also curious about the gender of the baby as they listen, so I nod with a big smile.

"Look Izzy it is ok." Damon tries to make sound like it is nothing.

"No is not. But before anyone of you three can interrupt me, let me tell you this. I considered Cas because of two reasons as a godfather. Number one is simply he is immortal like we and can protect my son until eternity. And Damon I know that you and Stefan are also immortal, but the difference is that he on the contrary to you only can be killed by one thing. The second reason is he is part of the family, but that doesn't means that he means like every one you guys to me … to us. Because Damon, Stefan you are my brothers and Sam you are the same to me, even if we don't share the same blood." I take a short break before I walk to Damon, look into his eyes to make him understand and say. "I didn't do it, because I think you are not worth it. We would be honored if you would be the godfather of one of our children. But in this case I put Bobby security before you and hope you don't hold it against us." I gave him a kiss on the cheek. My next stop is Sam. "I know you are disappointed, but don't hold it against Dean it was my idea and he runs with it. It doesn't mean that you are not important to him or me." After his kiss on the cheek I walk to Stefan. "You and me we always had this special bond and you know what you mean to me, because you are part of me and that is the reason that I know that you indeed are disappointed, but you know why I did it." I gave him a kiss.

"And only because the three of you are not the godfather of our boy doesn't mean that you will not play an important role in his life. He has three uncles, who will show him to prank his parents and other stuff." Dean tries to lift the tension.

Damon and Stefan laugh about that, while Sam said with a mischievous grin. "You bet."

"Ok." I yawn and a look at the mother hen tells me that I have to take a nap. "I take a nap, maybe you could brainstorm what the rest of the damn prophecy means."

"Good idea." they say as the left the room.

I went to stairs, but I only get a step away, before Dean stops me and turns me around so that I face him. "I am sorry that I spilled that."

"It is ok." I tell him.

"I know, but I want to tell you that I am with you on everything you said." he pause before he tells me what he thinks or hopes. "Maybe we get more children."

I give him a short kiss and say. "We will see." with that I turn around and while I walk to our room I have the biggest smile on my face, because I know that there will be more children or at least one.
