When Ava slowly began to come to everything was cold and fuzzy. Opening her eyes everything was a giant blur. The sounds of familiar voices was the only thing that made sense. She could clearly hear Cas and what sounded like Balthazar before Sam and Dean came in.

As her vision began to clear Ava could see Cas with his back facing her. He stood maybe four feet away dressed in his "normal" clothes. He had his trench coat draped over one arm while the sleeves of his dress shirt were rolled up to his elbows. Ava couldn't help but smile knowing he had to have his grace back. Dean was sitting on the couch looking exhausted while Sam was leaned against the wall.

"Look who is awake."

Balthazar said noticing Ava was looking around. Cas quickly turned kneeling down beside Ava looking at her with heartbroken eyes.

"This is going to be a dumb question but how are you feeling?"

Ava smiled.

"A little hungover. What happened?"

Cas put his middle and index finger to her forehead making that groggy hungover feeling vanish. Dean gave him a look.

"Dude you heard Balthazar you aren't fully recharged yet. You can't be whipping out your powers for a hangover."

Balthazar nodded giving his brother a look. Ava looked between the two before getting Cas' attention back.

"You have your grace back?"

Cas nodded.

"Partially. I just have to as they say recharge. Ava what was you thinking letting Micahel in like that?"

Ava frowned.

"I thought it was Adam."

Cas looked over his shoulder to Sam and Dean who were looking at each other with nervous expressions before looking back to Ava,

"Baby you know Adam is dead."

Ava groaned rolling her eyes as Cas stroked his hand over her cheek.

"Damn Cas you really have no bedside manner at points. Look I know my brother when I see him. Especially my TWIN brother...that was Adam who Michael took over. Michael is a son of a bitch."

She was quiet moment letting her hand fall to her stomach feeling her body being what it was before Cas got her pregnant.

"The baby! Cas where is the baby?! What happened?!"

Cas gently started petting the side of her face again giving Ava a sinking feeling.

"She's fine. Michael started your labor and we couldn't stop it. We got you here before you gave birth. Balthazar modified the health care workers memories so they thought you went into diabetic shock, Our daughter is fine. The nurses took her for a test."

Ava looked relieved as Balthazar grinned from the corner.

"I healed you up to the way you were before all of this fiasco started….stretch marks and all. You're welcome."

Ava nodded looking at Balthazar blinking cautiously.

"You didn't see me naked did you?"

Balthazar smirked while Cas and Dean made a wincing expression.

"Of course not darling. I am a lot of things but a creeper is not one of them."

Dean chuckled.

"I beg to differ."

Balthazar blinked before looking at Dean and gave him a disdainful glare.

"I wasn't talking to you big boy."

Cas finally had enough and looked back to Ava who was watching her brother and the other angel.

"Anyway...our daughter is just fine. She's beautiful. I named her Rose. The hospital staff seemed overly eager and demanding to get a name for her. Dean wanted to name her Tequila and I told him no. We wasn't naming our daughter after some alcoholic beverage that he seems to have a liking for."

Ava gave Dean a cold glare as he shrugged with a smile. She looked back to Cas cupping his cheek.

" You picked my middle name?"

Cas nodded.

"Your name is the most beautiful name I know."

Ava smiled as Balthazar and Dean exchanged puking expressions.

"Oh my dad did you really say that?"

Balthazar said putting his hand over his face. Sam nodded.

"He does this all the time."

Ava cleared her throat giving them her best school marm impression.

"Hey peanut gallery, why don't you all go fuck off or keep you comments to yourselves?"

Dean and and Balthazar both sat down not saying another word as Ava went back to Cas. A moment later there was knock at the door before a nurse stepped in holding a small bundle. Cas stood up turning to the nurse who gave him a smile.

"She's perfectly fine."

The nurse put the baby in Castiel's arms before looking to Ava.

"You're awake. Wonderful! How are you feeling?"

Ava smiled keeping her eyes on Cas who was holding their baby with an awe filled expression on his face.

"I'm fine."

The nurse nodded looking at her blood pressure monitor.

"Everything is looking good. You should be ready to head home soon."

The nurse smiled before walking out of the room leaving everyone alone. Cas waited until she was gone before walking back Ava placing the baby in her arms.

"She's perfect."

Ava whispered looking down at the baby in her arms. She was the most beautiful baby ever! The baby was an even mix of her parents. When her eyes opened they were deep blue looking strikingly like her father's.

"Rosie is perfect."

Cas said tenderly as he sat down beside Ava watching the baby not blinking. Ava smiled.

"You call her Rosie?"

Cas nodded.

"Again better than your brother's choice of a nickname."

Ava glared at Dean who shrugged innocently.

"I don't even want to know."

Over the next few weeks everything was getting used to a new lifestyle. To Dean and Sam's surprise Cas and Ava turned out to be great parents. Cas still seemed a little awkward whenever Rosie would start crying. Soon enough however, he would spend all night cradling the baby against his chest walking the floor to keep her from crying.

The babymoon period however was short lived. When Rosie was two months old Cas had to go back to deal with the war in heaven. He knew Ava was not pleased with his decision to go. When she objected Cas went full angel mode and was stoic and moody until she said fine.

For another two months Ava didn't hear a peep from Cas. Needless to say she was hurt and angry. She thought Cas would have a least popped in a few moments to make sure his daughter was ok.

She stood in the kitchen angrily scrubbing plates. Ava had to keep her mind occupied somehow. She looked up as Dean walked in holding Rosie. He raised an eyebrow looking at his sister.

"We used to have patterns on those right?"

Ava frowned continuing to scrub until there was a loud crack. Dean blinked awkwardly as Ava held up shards of a broken plate.

"It doesn't matter."

Ava mumbled as Sam walked in holding a bag before taking Rosie from Dean. Sam looked at his sister closely.

"It does matter because the past couple of weeks you have been more emotional than when you were knocked up. We get you are mad a Cas. We are too but you can talk to us."

Ava shook her head.

"What is here to say? Cas abandoned me again. I get there is a war going on. I understand that but it's different now. His daughter is getting bigger and he's missing it. She won't remember him. He's acting just like dad. I never thought those fucking words would leave my goddamn mouth."

Both Dean and Sam were clearly shocked by their sisters comment. Dean slowly stepped up.

"Ava you know Cas isn't dad."

Ava shook her head.

"He's yet to prove me wrong….for two months."

She turned walking from the room without another word.

Meanwhile, Cas stood in a empty room with two other angels across from Raphael who was in a ring of holy fire. He had only agreed to meet the archangel in hopes to get him to come to a peace. This war was getting out of control and clearly nothing was coming out of it.

"So Castiel why do you have me here like this again?"

Cas crossed his arms.

"I want this war to be over."

Raphael rolled his eyes.

"This again? Are we really having this conversation? Castiel it seems like you have trouble letting things go. I'll make you this offer again. Come back to our side. Forget the Winchesters and fight for what is right."

Cas frowned.

"And if I refuse?"

Raphael smirked.

"Then I kill your wife and little girl. That's right Cas I know all about them. Her name is Rosie right? She's very pretty. I've seen them. Both Ava and Rose. Ava is so angry with you as well. You should hear the thoughts going on in her head. Shes comparing you to her father. You just disappearing as your baby is getting older. Rose really is an adorable baby. It's a shame you know. Being a little over four months old and having to die. It was foolish of you thinking that she would be accepted. She is an abomination just like her mother. The harlot should have never opened her legs for you. Of course I am not surprised she did being a Winchester and all."

Cas looked furious now! He was ready to kill Raphael with his bare hands. No one would threaten his lover and child like that!

"You aren't going to touch a hair on their heads! I will kill you myself."

Raphael smirked.

"Really Castiel? You're threatening me when you know good and well I can kill you just like I have before. Now I suggest you let me go. I will make their deaths quick and painless."

Cas shook his head and started walking toward the door. Raphael chuckled.

"Is this like the last time when you called me your bitch?"

Cas stopped and looked back at Raphael.

"You'll always be my bitch. I mean Raphael stay the hell away from my wife and child. It won't be pretty if you do."

Cas turned walking from the room without another word leaving the angel in the ring of holy fire to plot.
