A/N: I don't own anyone but my OC's, so please don't sue me….Again I want to thank everyone out there for all of the support!!!!

"Well of course I'm back Dean," Brooklyn shook her head.

Castiel and Brady were pouring over the few books that Markus had brought by hoping they could find a way to replace her soul. The thought of a reaper robbing Gabe and Rowan of their mother did not sit well with the angel. Her soul was lingering between life and death which left her vulnerable to the reaper that continued to stalk her.

"Cas, here look," Brady handed over the worn tome and pointed out a small but obscure passage. Castiel slowly read the few lines then looked over at Dean. The angel knew it was dangerous treading between the veil of the living and the dead but it can be done. Dean looked over the angel's shoulder sensing Castiel's apprehension.

"I'll go," Dean volunteered. Castiel shook his head and narrowed his eyes at the hunter.

"This isn't a simple stroll in the park, Dean. Crossing into the world of the dead is dangerous which is why I must do it."

"Nope, I'm not going to let you follow the Yellow Brick Road alone."

Castiel came within inches of the hunter's face. His powerful blue eyes locked with Dean's as he stood off the hunter.

"You don't get it, Dean. Azazel is out there and you have neither the power nor strength to take him head on. Rowan and Gabe cannot lose us both."

"Who said anything about us being the ones getting hurt? With the both of us there, Yellow Eyes won't stand a chance! Why are you being so damn stubborn on this Cas?"

Castiel lifted his hands up then let them fall back against the counter. He knew the hunter was not going to back down but neither was the angel.

"There's a bigger picture here."

"And what just might that be?" Dean crossed his arms and glared back at the angel.

"There is a lot more at stake than just Brooklyn's soul. In case you didn't notice Dean, Rowan and Gabe have been targeted by demons since Brooklyn was pregnant. Something larger is going on."

"This is why I'm going with you, Cas. You're not going to have all the fun kicking Azazel's ass."

Brooklyn groaned and rolled her eyes.

"Hey! Enough with the pissing contest you two!"

Rowan and Gabe starting growing agitated with the bickering between the two. Gabe pressed his lips tight before shouting at the top of his little lungs.

"Mommy says qwit fighting!"

Dean and Castiel froze mid sentence and turned their heads to the toddler. His cerulean orbs narrowed in frustration as Rowan watched her brother's face turn bright red.

"That's it Gabe, tell those two to zip it and get moving!" Brooklyn beamed at her son. Rowan looked up at her daddies and stuck her quivering bottom lip out as tears welled up in her jade orbs.

"Why you fighting?" Her voice cracked as she became emotional. Her little emerald eyes revealed how upsetting their aruging was to her.

Dean scooped her up and brushed back her hair.

"Daddy Cas doesn't want Daddy to get hurt but Daddy wants to help get Mommy back."

Rowan looked over at Castiel with sad dark eyes. The angel felt her tugging at his heartstrings knowing she could get her way with just one look. Slowly his steel resolve started to soften as he looked up to Dean. The hunter could see through the façade he was putting on and knew the angel would relent. All it took was a little persuasion of the Rowan kind.

"Alright you go. But stay with me and do not go astray," he barked in sharp tones.

"Yeah I got it Ahab," Dean bounced his daughter in his arms watching as her mouth cracked a smile. She was definitely a Winchester.

"Rowan you are way too much like your father," Sam sighed. Brooklyn nodded and second the sentiment.

"Dean you and I are gonna have a little talk when I get back," Brooklyn muttered.

Two cots were rolled in and placed in the corner of the room. Dean and Castiel got comfortable though Dean didn't let his anxiety show and kept a stoic face.

"Alright both of you close your eyes," Gabriel leaned back against the wall.

"What no getting touchy feel?" Dean snickered earning a glare from the archangel.

"Sorry," Dean settled back in against the pillow. He found his hand seeking out the angel's finding Castiel's own fingers linking his.

"I can't even begin to tell you how crazy you two are. Piercing the veil? So what happens when you two find my daughter? How do you plan on bringing her back?" Gabriel crossed his arms.

"With class and style," Dean winked. Gabriel raised an eyebrow at him.

"You do realize you will be defenseless Dean. You will be nothing more than a walking talking piece of fog, defenseless against Azazel. You won't be able to fight back."

"Well how come Brooklyn was able to smash a glass and slam a door?" Sam added.

"That I do not know," Gabriel answered.

"Well you're her father and an archangel. Surely you must have some kind of idea."

"No, Braden I do not. Even we are not privy to all the secrets of the universe."

"Oh now you tell us," Dean bemoaned.

Gabriel shook his head and stood in front of the cots.

"Close your eyes and relax," Gabriel began chanting the ancient incantation to separate soul from body. The warmth and grip of the angel's hand brought comfort for the hunter as he prepared to face what lay ahead.

Brooklyn watched her father seeing the strain in his handsome features. She knew he was worried about the hunter and angel talking a walk on the wild side but still he went through with it.

Gabriel finished and leaned back against the wall.

"Alright so now what?" Sam asked.

"It's been done, Samuel."

"That's it?" Brady cocked his head at the archangel.

"Were you expecting something else? Perhaps a bright light and choir singing?" Gabriel snapped back.

"Yikes, sorry I asked grumpy."

Dean's eyes shot open as he sat up and looked over at Castiel.

"Well, nothing like shooting blanks. So what's Plan B?" He turned to the Messenger.

Gabriel didn't acknowledge the hunter and continued staring down at the him and angel. Dean turned towards Sam and Brady waving his hands and hollering at the pair.

"Brady…Sam! Hey Batman and Robin can you hear me?"

"They can't see or hear us Dean," Castiel stood behind him. Dean spun around seeing their bodies on the cots.

"I believe it is safe to say they have made it somewhere over the rainbow as they say?" Gabriel turned to Brady and Sam. His voice was softer with a bit humor around the edges.

Gabriel straightened up before continuing on, "I will have to bring them back of course which requires me to recite the incantation as before.

Dean and Castiel stared at one another unsure of what to say. The hunter lifted his hand seeing nothing different about his body or features save for the lightweight feeling he was experiencing.

They watched as Sam left the room and walked right though Dean. He laughed in amusement at the rush that followed. Getting an idea he thrusted a hand though Castiel's chest. The angel was clearly not amused.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?"

"Get out of me Dean," Castiel ordered.

"Dude you're such a prude."

"Are you two done acting like five year olds?" The quiet familiar voice echoed by the door.

Dean and Castiel turned their heads to see Brooklyn standing with her arms folded neatly across her chest. Her features were untouched and flawless like before the attack. Her lips trembled and broke into a shaky smile as she registered they were really standing there. Brooklyn crossed the room and spread her arms out eager to feel her hunter and angel again. Dean and Castiel formed a tight wall letting her crash into their waiting embrace.

The hunter and angel's arms created a protective circle around her as they stood frozen in place.

"Thanks for not giving up on me," she whispered.

"We weren't going to give up on you," Dean turned serious.

Castiel couldn't form the words to describe how he was feeling. Just having her back in his arms was enough.

"Rowan and Gabe wouldn't let us," the angel finally said.

"I know, they could sense me," she wiped away a tear.

"Yeah they're like two tiny Whoopi Goldbergs."

Brooklyn pulled back and stared at the angel and hunter. The reunion was over as now it was time to figure out how to get back.

"So how do I get back?"

"We're working on that," Dean rubbed the back of his neck.

"So you two had my father exorcise you to the dark side and you don't know how to get me back!?"

"In a word, yes," Castiel felt guilty for getting her hopes up.

"Lovely, peachy," She flung her hands up in agitation and anger.

Brady and Sam had left to find a way to call back Brooklyn's soul leaving Gabriel alone with three unconscious bodies and two quiet toddlers. The Messenger had prepared the small bathroom as a panic room for Gabe and Rowan in case Azazel came back. His grandchildren were able to sense the demon even as his stalked them on the other side.

He prayed Dean and Castiel would find and keep Brooklyn safe until Sam and Brady returned.

"The reaper's still here," Brooklyn paced around the room.

"His name's Caleb and he's trying to convince me that it's my time to go."

"Well he's not getting you. He'll just have to find another soul to reap and meet his quota for the month," Dean came up and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Well I told him I wasn't abandoning my family. I am not going to let my babies grow up without their mother. I lost my mother and I'll be damned if they lose me."

"I couldn't have said it better myself. Well the damned part of course," Azazel stood in the doorway.

"How the Hell did you get back? I banished your sorry ass," Brooklyn's eyes glowed blue green to the astonishment of Dean and Castiel.

"Well darlin when you have friends in rather high or in this case rather low places, your little chants don't have much clout. Now I see you have your little angel and hunter perched on your shoulders."

Castiel and Dean pushed Brooklyn behind them. She turned to her babies and called out for them.

"Gabe! Rowan! Tell Grandpa Gabriel….." She was cut off as Azazel slammed them across the room. She struggled against the unseen hands pinning her against the wall.

"Now don't struggle darlin as it will only make it hurt. But then again I like it when you put up a fight," the demon hissed in her ear. The demon's breath brushed against her ear burning like sulfur against her skin.

Rowan sensed the violence and tugged on Gabriel's shirt. Her eyes filled with urgency as she jerked harder.

"Gwampa….Mommy in twoble…."

Immediately he gathered Rowan and Gabe whisking them inside the bathroom and closed the door. He looked around looking for any sign of the unseen drama that continued to unfold before his very eyes. Unable to see or sense anything, Gabriel closed his eyes and began to pray for help for his daughter and her hunter and angel. If he couldn't see them then perhaps someone else could.

Okay update soon!!! Thank you everyone!!!
