Dean's out of hell... Hailey whispered, getting up and backed away from Castiel.

How...

Last night, before you passed out, you told me your mission was to save Dean... Is he... Alive? Hailey asked tears running down her pale face.

Castiel looked away from Hailey, cursing himself.

Castiel, answer the question. She demanded.

Yes, he is alive. Castiel said in a deep voice.

Hailey's eyes widen and she started to pace frantically. Castiel watched, not sure of what to do.

I have to... I have to call dad- I got to... Hailey mumbled as she fished out her phone from her pocket.

Hailey! Wait! Castiel demanded and Hailey froze at the ordering tone. Hailey's confused eyes met Castiel's pleading ones.

Bobby sat at his desk, even if the sun was still rising; he held a glass of whiskey in one hand and his phone in another. He had been sitting there for what seemed like hours. Debating with himself.

I'm all for drinking early, Bobby, but, is something on your mind? Dean asked, leaning on a book case. He walked over to the desk and grabbed the empty glass on the desk and poured himself a drink, taking a sip.

You mean besides finding how you got out? Bobby asked sarcastically. Dean nodded, downed the rest of his glass and set it back down, sitting on the edge of the desk. Bobby took a deep breath and leaned back on his chair.

Just enjoying the last moments of Hailey being safe, away from all this... Crap, before I call her. Bobby said truthfully. Dean nodded and looked away for a moment before looking back at Bobby.

Then don't. Dean said simply. Bobby stared at the resurrected hunter like he had grown a second head.

I want Hailey safe just as much as you do.

But it was more than that. Sure he could fool them all that he was dear old Dean, back from hell and no memory of it. But he was sure Hailey would see right through him. How was he even supposed to look at her after all he seen in hell or worst touch her with his hands that brought so much pain.

Son, we both know it isn't our place to decide for her. I can't keep this from her. I can't let her live with all that guilt she's carrying since... ya know...

Dean was quiet, remembering what his brother told him about Hailey while he was away. He took the bottle, not bothering to pour it in a glass and chugged from the bottle.

Why? Hailey asked the angel as she held her phone, ready to dial, tears still running down her face.

Castiel didn't say anything but looked down at her growing bump. Hailey put a hand on her belly and looked at the angel getting mad.

He's the father! He has to know! I have to tell him...

You really think him knowing will not put the infant in danger?

He'll protect us! Hailey yelled.

He won't be able too, he will die trying and then... He was brought back for a reason Hailey. We need him to... the Angel trailed off.

To what? Hailey demanded.

Save god's creation. He won't be able to if he feels like he has to protect you and the infant. He will be watched by other angels, I can't let them know about you. I will protect you. I have been locked up for ten years to make sure you stayed safe.

What? Hailey asked confused.

In heaven, time does not pass as slow as on earth. I had to pay for my disobedient behavior. I was ready to die to keep you and the child safe. I still am. But if you go back to your family, I won't be able to keep you safe from evil or my brothers.

Brothers? Like other angels? I thought angels were good?

Read the bible. We are warriors of god. We came down on earth for a reason. They will only see you as a distraction or a threat to the mission.

What mission? Hailey asked even though she knew she didn't want to know.

To stop Lucifer, from walking the earth.

Hailey walked to the arm chair next to the couch Castiel was sitting on and sat taking in all of what the injured angel was telling her. After a long while of silence, Castiel cleared his throat.

If you don't mind... where are my clothes?

Oh, I had to cut out most of it, so I bought you some replacements. The bag near the door, your coat's okay though, I took it to the dry cleaners. Hailey answered mostly absent minded.

The Angel got up, making sure to wrap the sheet around his waist and walked over and picked up the bag.

If you want to use the shower, it's down the hall to the left.

Thank you. He nodded and limped a little while making his way to the bathroom.

Hailey waited and after a while she heard the shower start. She took a deep breath and wiped her tears. The man she loved more than anything, the man she had lost so horribly, was back. But he was brought back to fight, to save the world, not to be with her and their child. Castiel seemed more than convinced if he found out about the baby he wouldn't be able to save the world, or them. She took a shaky breathe to calm herself and the phone in her hands started to ring. She looked at Bobby's number and quickly checked where Castiel had gone, making sure she still heard the water running. She shakily answered the phone and pressed it against her ear.

Hello? She answered and got nothing on the other line.

Dad? Everything ok? She asked knowing why he was calling her. The line was silent again. Just when she was about to check if the line was still connected she hears a sigh on the other end.

God it's good to hear your voice, shortcake. Dean's voice cracked on the other end.

Dean... was all Hailey could get out.

It's me, hails. Your dad had me cut myself and drenched me in holy water a couple of times, it's really me...

Both were silent for a moment.

I missed you so much. Hailey choked out.

Dean was surprised she hadn't hung up or demanded more proof. Maybe using bobby's phone was proof enough.

You have no idea how much I missed you... He said fighting back tears and half laughed, trying to hide his emotions. He cleared his throat, trying to regain composure.

It was all she needed to forget all the warnings of the angel and run back home. She needed him. She needed him to know and tell her everything was going to be okay.

Dean, I-

Did you do it? Bring me back?

No... Dean I need-

Listen, shortcake... Sam and Bobby told me you were out of the business and well... I want you to stay away...

What? No Dean-

I'm a mess Hailey! He cut her off, talking more loudly than he meant too.

I'm sorry I didn't... I just have a lot to figure out. I can't... I can't be what you need, right now. I can't deal with... us, right now. So please, don't come home. At least for now, till I figure out what the hell is going on. I need you to stay safe wherever you are. Promise me to stay safe.

Hailey didn't say anything as tears ran freely down her cheeks.

Dammit Hailey!

OK! Ok I promise but... you do the same, I ain't losing you again. Hailey managed to find her voice.

You won't. Look, once everything settles down, I'll call you. And Hailey?

Yeah?

You're ok, right? I mean, you're not in trouble or anything?

No, I'm, I'm ok. I'm... safe.

Good. Good... Listen I got to go, Bobby knows someone who maybe can help us... Sam kept my phone so if you need anything. You call me ok?

It took Hailey all of her will not to burst out in tears, she never needed Dean more than now, but he needed time to figure things out, coming back from hell... She couldn't imagine what it was like. Not to mention everything Castiel told her. She nodded as she couldn't breathe her throat was so tight.

Hailey? Dean asked and picked up on a sob that escaped her.

Yeah, yeah I will... You too. Anything.

Before she was ready to hang up, the line clicked off. Dean had hung up the phone. Hailey felt her whole body shake as a wave of sobs busted out of her small frame. She hadn't heard the shower turn off or the door of the bathroom open as she spoke to Dean. she jumped a little has she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was a fully dressed Castiel, he looked down at her with sadness in his eyes.

Tell me what to do. Castiel said, he couldn't help but feel responsible for her pain.

Keep him safe? She asked through sobs looking up at the angel.

Before Castiel knew what happened he had pulled the pregnant hunter to her feet and wrapped his strong arms around her tightly. She had stiffened a bit at their closeness but soon she leaned into his embrace, seeking comfort.

I will. He reassured her as she let herself breakdown in his arms.
