Hi!

Wow, sorry about the late update...seriously did not expect this much coursework in such a short space of time :O I hope this makes up for it!

So, this is another cute chapter, now Sam and Bobby are back...thing's will be getting back to normal. AND, I've thought of a couple of chapters that will carry a strong plot...Dean and Sam will be going through some things they didn't think would happen. So, that'll be up soon, don't worry!

Hope you enjoy this chapter, the next one will be up soon! : )

Please leave a review!

Enjoy!

Onwards...

Dean parked up outside Bobby's house, slowly bringing the car to a halt.

'Sammy!' screamed Gabriel, bouncing up and down in his seat, restricted by his belt. Cas grinned and clapped his hands happily, eyes shining. They had both missed Sam terribly.

'Hang on there, sterling!' grinned Dean, opening his door. He was happy to see the boys so happy; he knew how much Sam meant to them, especially to Gabriel.

He moved over and opened their door, both scrambling out the left door. 'Watch the leather!' he shouted at the children's retreating backs.

'Sowwy!' cried Cas, not turning back. Dean could almost imagine the grin on his face.

Gabriel crashed in through the door, eyes shining a happy grin plastered on his little face. The 8 year old bounded in through the living room door.

'Sammy!'

'Gabriel, stop!' came a pained shout.

'Sammy?'

Sam grinned up at the archangel, a wince breaking over his face. A gash cut into his handsome face, marring his left cheek. Stitched up with black thread, it looked horrific. Bruises blossomed around it, and Sam also grabbed at his side, where Dean suspected broken ribs.

'Sam?' the oldest Winchester moved over to his little brother, concerned. 'Big bad Wendigo too big for ickle Sammy?' he smiled, knowing his brother had been through worse.

'Shut up!' growled Sam, smiling at Gabriel. 'I'm ok, little man. Just a bit bruised.'

'You not hurt bad?' Gabriel reached out a tentative hand, gently touching Sam's leg.

'No, not bad at all.' Sam reached out his arms, knowing he had scared the little angel. 'Come here.'

He enveloped Gabriel into a warm hug, trying not to show his pain; the last thing he wanted was to make him worried.

This was what he was afraid of happening, after going on a hunt. If this was any other hunt, he wouldn't have been so worried about getting hurt, but now, with the little angel's to care for, he couldn't afford to get badly hurt. Maybe this is what parents feel like everyday of their lives. Sam didn't really like the feeling, but it made him realise what was important.

Dean smiled and felt a small hand tap his leg. 'Dean?'

'Yes, Cas?' he asked, bending down and picking the 4 year old angel up. He was a lot heavier now, which made Dean think he and Gabriel were growing slowly during the days.

'Is Sammy ok?'

Dean smiled and kissed his cheek, looking at his little brother.

'Sammy's gonna be fine.'

-x-

Sam groaned and flumped back onto the pillow; the damn Wendigo had been stalking them. It had taken a split second to take the chance to kill it; it was the fastest one Bobby had ever seen.

He raised his head and blinked his bleary eyes, a concussion filled headache filling his head.

'What the?'

Blinking harder, he definitely was seeing what he thought he was seeing.

'Don't worry, Sam.' Giggled Castiel. 'Doctor Cassie and Gabwiel are here for the rescue.'

Sam looked between them. God knows where they got the outfits from (he had a sneaking suspicion Dean was behind it) They were both holding plastic stethoscopes and Gabriel was clutching a red first aid kit.

'Doctor Cassie, take the patents heartbeat.' Gabriel grinned, looking at his little brother.

'Yes sir, doctor Gabwiel sir.'

Sam grinned, leaning backwards. He looked up and saw Dean standing in the doorway, watching the scene with a grin on his face.

Sam looked down at Cas, who was pressing his stethoscope on Sam's tummy, his tongue sticking out the corner of his mouth. 'Is it serious, doctor?'

Cas looked up at him, blue eyes wide. 'I can't hear anything.' He stated, looking worried. Sam couldn't help but smile at his terrified face.

Gabriel jumped in. 'Doctor Cassie, the patent needs some plasters!' he grinned. He opened his first aid box and tipped it over the floor. Different coloured plasters fell out, Cas bending down and grabbing an orange one.

'Sit back and welax' he lisped at Sam, who grinned and put his arms round the back of his head, closing his eyes.

Gabriel beamed at his brother, unpicking a red plaster and pressing it onto Sam's forehead. He stifled a laugh when Sam moved his eyebrows, making the plaster bob up and down.

'Your turn' he grinned at Cas, who slowly unpicked his own plaster, sticking it onto Sam's hand, winding it around his finger.

Soon, the youngest Winchester was covered in a bright array of plasters, barely an inch of his skin uncovered.

'The patent is fixed now!' smiled Gabriel, jumping up and down, grinning at his brother.

'Sammy is all better!' Cas grinned at Dean, who looked at his brother, almost choking on his laughs.

'He sure is!' he flicked a plaster that was hanging of the end of Sam's nose. 'You ok there, Sammy boy?'

'Yep!' yelped Sam, leaning back and closing his eyes. His concussion was going down now; he needed to sleep now. 'Wake me later'

'Sure thing'

Dean knelt down and ruffled the two children's hair. 'Will you two stop growing!' he gasped. They really had got a lot taller during the day. He would guess Gabriel was about ten now, Cas must be at least five, if not six now.

Where were the years going?'

'It's not my fault!' Gabriel frowned and crossed his arms.

Dear God no. That's al Dean needed; another moody teenager. Sam had been bad enough, let out alone trying to keep track of two of them in the near future!

'I never said it was, Gabe.' Dean tried to placate the ten year old and Gabriel grinned at him.

'Can we have dinner now?'

Dean grinned, thinking about all the trouble that kid's mood swings are going to give him.

'Sure, go see if Bobby needs any help' Gabriel walked out the room, Castiel staring after him.

He turned to Dean and giggled. Dean grinned and took him in a one armed hug. 'You're not gonna give me trouble are you?'

'Nope!' smiled Cas, looking over at the sleeping youngest Winchester and putting his finger to his lips.

'Let's go see about dinner.'

-x-

'Gabe, Cas bed!'

'I don't want to go to sleep!'

'Gabriel, sleep!'

'I don't need to sleep!'

'When I come up there you'll need to sleep!'

'You won't come up here!'

'You wanna bet?'

'Alright, I'm going!'

Dean grinned at Bobby, who laughed and shook his head.

'You sure you ain't had kids before?' the older hunter smiled.

'I had Sammy' Dean flicked his head in Sam's direction, before looking at the door, where a blue eyed angel was standing, clutching Soggy, the ever present teddy bear.

'Will you put me to bed?'

Dean's heart melted and he stood up, taking the Castiel's hand and leading him upstairs.

They passed Gabriel's room, which had been decorated in green, the archangel sat on his bed, looking out the window.

'Bed' Dean told him, watching the archangel from the door get under the covers, turning over.

He was just about to turn away and shut the door when he heard a small voice say within the room.

'Night night.'

Dean grinned to himself. 'Goodnight Gabriel.'

They walked to Castiel's blue painted bedroom and he set the smaller angel on the bed. 'Sleepy time, buddy.'

He tucked Cas up, making sure his pillows were plumped and the blankets were around him.

'Stay with me?' Castiel whispered, hugging Soggy tighter.

'Sure.'

He lay down next to Castiel, the angel leaning his head in the crook of his neck.

Soon Cas's breathing settled into a gentle rhythem and Dean smiled, before turning and looking up at the darkening ceiling, the trees casting shadows across the walls.

'Night, Dean.' Came a little voice.

'Goodnight, Cas' smiled Dean.

'Love you, Dean'

'Love you, Cas.'

Aw
