Castiel was puzzled once again. He sat on the bed, belonging to his 5 year old ward, with a misshaped, and awkward looking paper crown on his head. The crown had been colored in with a bright yellow crayon, and had several gummy bears glued onto it, which somewhat replicated jewels.
"Is it you're intension for your brother to eat these items of confectionary?" asked the confused angel.
Chrissie gazed up at her best friend, whilst she finished off the card she was making for Dean. Thanks to Sam, her hand writing was getting better, which was a good thing, as the child was starting Kindergarten very soon. The home made card was very creative looking, with a funny looking cartoon Dean, with a fire breathing Impala at his side. Sam was also featured, as a clown, and Chrissie as a princess. Inside, the card stated simply, in red marker pen: "Weclome Home Dean, lots of love from Chrissie, Goober and Cassie."
"Silly Cassie, you can't eat jewels. Dean would need to back into hospital again, if he did," giggled the little girl. She then frowned, which made her look cute and serious at the same time. "I don't want him to leave me again."
The angel sighed.
"My child, it is almost one o'clock," he said. "Isn't you're eldest sibling due home soon?"
Chrissie gasped loudly, and began to clap her hands excitedly. The little girl then began to fuss, as she hurried about her room.
"Cassie, don't peek, I'm gonna get dressed now. I gotta look nice for my brother coming home. Uncle Bobby polished my shoes for me too. I gotta get ready" stated the 5 year old.
When the angel reopened his eyes, his little ward was dressed in an old dark green, and dirty white gingham dress. Her tiny black mary-janes glimmered due to the polished applied. Plus, regardless of brushing her hair, Chrissie's brown waves remained wild.
"I look fabulous," grinned the 5 year old, as she struck a silly, yet adorable pose. "And, when I go to Kindie-garten, I'm gonna find me a prince. Sammy and Dean said my prince will come for me one day, on a white unicorn."
Castiel blinked, just as one of the gummy bear dropped off the paper crown, to which the angel stared down at.
"Cassie, you said you would be looking after Dean when he was in the hospital. Have you been looking after him?" asked the small girl.
A glimmer of a smile tugged at the corners of Castiel's mouth.
"Yes, my child, I've been watching over him," he answered, as the child snuggled into his lap. "Your brother will recover with no complications, I assure you."
Chrissie smiled, as she cuddled into her friend. She then gazes over at her odd looking teddy bear, which was tucked into bed.
"Goober drunk too much beer last night," she stated. "He got cranky and shouted at everybody. He's gotta hangover now. Silly bear had to get put to bed like a big baby."
Castiel squirmed slightly. It was obvious to him, that John's alcoholism was beginning to be noticed by his youngest child. Noise from downstairs attracted the child's attention. One voice in particular, made her squeal in excitement and joy.
"Dean's here!" she squeaked, as she collected her home made card.
She rushed to the top of the stairs, and gazed down to see her beloved eldest brother. Dean grinned like the Cheshire Cat, as he opened his arms out.
"Hey, Chrissie, I'm back" he beamed.
The child didn't even reach the final few steps, when she suddenly leapt into her brother's arms. The little girl wept, as Dean hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Never leave me and Sammy again!" sobbed the 5 year old.
Dean hushed her, as he rubbed circles on her back. The teenager was so relieved to be back. Being away from his siblings was killing him, and so to be back with them, made him happy.
"Shhhhh. Shhhhh. I'm so sorry, sweetheart," said Dean, as he planted a kiss on his little sister's head. "I'm here now. I'll never leave you or Sammy again. That's a promise."
Hey guys, bet you've been wondering were I've been hiding? Basically, I've been suffering from a huge deal of the dreaded writer's block, and haven't been able to shift it for a while. But, that's me back :)
Plus, another random note, if you haven't read Twist and Shout or Redemption Road on livejournal, then check them out, especially if your a fan of Destiel. Stuff like that inspires me to continue with fan fiction writing.
Again, sorry for the long ass hiatus, just like the long one for the current season 9, which is hurting my feelings :(
Stay tuned!
Please review!
