Cas had walked into the living room not caring whether or not Dean followed him or not. He didn't really want to talk anyone. When Dean didn't wonder in Cas sighed putting his face in his hands.

"Hey bro looking stressed."

Cas' head snapped up to see Gabriel standing feet away with his usual smirk on his face.

"Gabriel to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit."

Gabriel looked around empty room before looking back his battle weary brother.

"I came to talk to you about Ava and Rosie. How are things?"

Cas sighed.

"Well lets see Ava won't talk to me. She thinks that I don't care about her or our daughter. I'm even being warded from my own bedroom."

Gabriel crossed his arms looking even more worried.

"Castiel this is worse than I could have imagined. I understand both sides of the story however, there is something that you should see. I want you to see what the future will behold to you if you and Ava don't straighten things up."

Cas frowned as Gabriel snapped his fingers...

Cas stood in a smokey dingy bar. Looking around for Gabriel he frowned Cas frowned seeing no one he knew. Walking around the bar Cas finally felt more comfortable when he saw a head of dark blond curls. Ava sat a few feet away in a leather jacket and black sunglasses. Cas sighed finally feeling relived to see a familiar face. He couldn't help wondering why Gabriel was wanting him to see?

Ava stood throwing some money down by the half finished glass of whiskey before walking to the door. Cas quickly followed her out trying to figure out what was going on.

"Ava!"

He called her name before she stopped walking. As he walked to her the girl frowned.

"Are you talking to me?"

Cas nodded tilting his head to the side.

"Well yes...What is Gabriel wanting me to see? Ava I am confused."

The girl nodded revealing a set of deep blue eyes...Cas' eyes.

"Who is Gabriel? Who are you and how do you know my mother?"

Cas blinked looking closer at the girl in front of him. This wasn't Ava!

"Rosie?"

The girl looked a little more annoyed.

"It's Rose. No one has called me Rosie since I was like 4. Not really a tough name for a hunter."

Cas' mouth dropped. His baby was a hunter?! How did this happen? What as all of this?

"Where is your mother?"

Rose blinked a few times.

"Again how do you know my mother and who the hell are you?"

Cas frowned.

"I'm your father."

Rose blinked.

"Great time for you to pop in. Sorry mom isn't here anymore."

"Where is she?"

Rose sighed.

"Shes dead."

Cas froze. He didn't know what to say? The love of his life was dead and his baby girl was standing in front of him looking like a mini female version of Dean. Rose meanwhile, stood watching the angel in front of her wondering if he was for real? She didn't remember her father for anything. Couldn't even remember his face.

Carefully Rose took out her phone dialing Dean's number as she looked at the man in front of her. Surely is he was her father he would have made a more grand entrance than tracking her down in a bar.

"Dean it's Rose. So there is this angel claiming to be my father and he's a little distraught. I don't know what to do with him."

Cas looked up as Rosie stepped away but kept an eye on him.

"So should I stab him or nah?"

Cas shook his head stepping back as she took hung up. Rose looked at him a moment before sinking a knife in his chest. Cas looked down for a moment before taking the knife out and tossing it a few feet away as Rosie looked at him with wide eyes.

"Yep your an angel...sorry about that. Had to make sure you weren't some creeper or something."

"So you just go and stab people?!"

Rose shrugged innocently.

"I said I was sorry. Again I'm a hunter...most things I go after just don't go willingly telling me what they are and what they aren't.

Cas shrugged knowing she had a point.

"Yes. You're a hunter? How did this happen?"

Rose shrugged.

"Let's see you went off to some angel war, some psycho angel named Raphael killed my mother, I was raised by Sam and Dean...it was bound to happen. Now come on."

Cas frowned following Rose to Dean's impala.

"I'm relieved to see that you are all right but your condition is concerning."

Cas said softly. Rose looked at him a little surprised.

"Look I get why you went off for that war in heaven. I do but my mother needed you. I needed you. I'm glad to see you are all right I really am but this is me and this my life. Sorry you missed the unicorns and mermaids phase. It was short lived. Come on. Let's get out of here."

Walking into the bunker Cas was relieved to see nothing had changed much. Rose glanced back at the angel behind her. She felt bad for him. He looked completely out of his element again. The sound of Sam and Dean arguing in the kitchen got Rose's attention as they walked into room. Dean was under the sink with a wrench while Sam was trying to hook up a new faucet.

"Damn it Sam this can't be that hard!"

Rose sighed.

"Still working on that faucet huh? Too bad we don't have a man around the house to help with these things"

Both Sam and Dean looked up at their niece with a matching scowls. Cas watched them with sad eyes. Both of the Winchester brothers looked the same only they had aged.

"Holy shit Cas you are still alive."

Dean said looking clearly shocked. Cas nodded feeling like he had been punched in the chest.

The following hours passed slowly as Cas sat listening to Sam and Dean talk about everything that happened the past few years. Dean told him how Ava died trying to keep Rose safe from Raphael on evening.

"It was bad."

Dean said looking down his eyes full of pain. No one in the room said anything for a moment. Cas looked to Rose who had downed another shot of whiskey. This really wasn't a promising sight for him to be looking at.

"So Rose did you get that vampire?"

Sam asked trying to break the tension in the room. Rose nodded not looking to her family members.

"Yep and she was some trampy ass twilight wanna be fucked up bitch too."

Cas put his face in his hands.

"GABRIEL I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH GET ME OUT!"

When Cas looked up again he was back in the bunker beside Gabriel who was looking at him with sad eyes. Gabriel didn't say anything a moment as he looked at his brother's devastated face.

"Castiel, brother the future can always change. I suggest you get a handle on your and Ava's relationship before this comes your reality...our relativity. I love my niece and I don't want that future for her. Cas as you know I have spent most of my life avoiding our family and now that I have the family that I always wanted I don't want that taken away. Please don't take that from me bro."

Castiel looked at his older brother's worried face carefully.

"I won't."

Once Gabriel left Cas went to the couch putting his hand over his face trying to calm down from everything he had just seen. He was so lost in his thoughts he didn't even notice Ava walk in holding Rose.

"Cas?"

Ava whispered his name when he looked up at her with eyes full of pain. Angry at him or not she didn't like that look on his face.

"Cas what's wrong?"

He stood slowly before pulling Ava into his arms taking care not to mush Rosie between them. Ava blinked feeling more afraid.

"You're trembling what is going on?"

Cas ran a hand through his hair.

"I'm never leaving you again. I just can't. I've missed too much and...Ava...Gabriel showed me what would happen in the future if I didn't stay to keep you and Rosie safe. I can't let that happen. We need to communicate better...not only for our sake but for Rosie. Do you want out daughter being a mini female version of Dean?"

Ava's face looked like she had bitten into lemon.

"Oh my god did Gabriel show you that vision too?"

Cas nodded tilting his head to the side.

"You knew about it?"

Ava looked down at Rosie stroking her cheek before laying her in the pack and play in the corner of the room. She turned looking at Cas for a moment looking down.

"I did. I knew about it a long time ago. That was one of the reasons I was so desperate to get a hold of you. I was scared."

Cas lovingly pulled her into a deep kiss using his grace to calm her the best he could.

"Look at me. I will keep you and our baby safe no matter the cost. What can I do to calm you?"

Ava nuzzled her face against Cas' chest breathing in his scent.

"I just need to know we are okay."

She whispered. Cas smiled kissing her again.

"Always."
