That's Christmas To Me

Part 2

You stood in your room in the bunker starring at your reflection in the mirror that hung on your door. You were wearing a red dress that covered your shoulders and hit you right below your knees. You had added some black tights for good measure and topped the look off with black leather boots that hit right above your ankles. You had straightened your H/L H/C hair and pinned it back with a few bobby pins allowing a few strands to escape onto the edges of your face. You smiled at your reflection and excitedly made your way down the stairs.

You could hear Sam, Dean, and Bobby in the kitchen fiddling with things. You made your way to them and really weren't expecting the reaction you got. You came in and hugged all three of them feeling in a very loving mood. "Merry Christmas!" You said excitedly to each as you hugged them. As much as you tried to deny it though you did notice all three boys were looking at you quite surprised, some would use the word shocked…finally you were too curious to not ask! "Is something wrong?" You watched all three men closely, Sam and Dean were swallowing thickly and as you read their minds they were trying to come up with a response while Bobby was now smirking completely amused, along with the thought "This is going to be good.".

You cocked your head to the side in confusion to the statement that you weren't actually supposed to hear. Both boys had to admit you looked very adorable with the innocent confusion you had playing across your face. Both boys knew they needed to say something quickly or you would become too curious and simply read their minds. "You look very pretty." Sam said in a very sweet tone that made you smile and maybe even blush. He could tell you wanted to make sure he wasn't lying by the squint of your eye as you scanned his face. You then turned to Dean still fully expecting an explanation, he was biting his lip and squinting at you just as you had been squinting at Sam. He seemed to be thinking out his words. "Dean?" The question came out surprisingly like you were asking how you looked…"Y/N you look like an angel." Your blush increased and you actually found yourself laughing at the comment! "Thank you Dean." You said appreciatively as you did know what he meant metaphorically. All of the boys started laughing with you, feeling a lightness about them at hearing your heavenly laugh.

You straightened up in anticipation as you heard the flutter of wings and the sense of a peculiar angle behind you. "Cas!" You yelled excited before you jumped into his arms, he quickly wrapped his around you to keep you from falling. "Y/N!" He said mimicking your tone (though he was genuinely happy to see you, he just liked to pick on you as well). It's funny you had just seen him yesterday but you felt this urge to never let him go. You took a step away keeping your arms latched to him. Your face was set with a determined look "We need to start hanging out more." He nodded his head smirking at your authoritative tone. He straightened up saluting you trying as hard as possible to stay serious "Yes ma'am." You both started laughing the same way you did as kids.

You nudged him in the stomach as you walked into the dining room with food. You stopped in the middle of setting the food on the table as you heard another pair of wings and the smell of cinnamon and candy…"Gabe?" You stared ahead trying to focus and see if you were right (had always been a game of yours). "Hey N/N" You spun around to wrap your arms around his neck. "Hey what's with all the love I just saw you yesterday!" He said exasperatedly as he wrapped his arms around you (though he secretly loved your hugs). "I know you do." You smiled into his shoulder.

He pulled you to arms length giving you a suspicious look (he was smiling of course) he pointed a humorously accusing finger at you "Did you just read my mind?" You were smirking but shrugged anyway as you scooted around him "Move I have a party to set up for." He chuckled at how much you sounded like a mom which is weird and all considering you didn't have one. The closest thing you had to a mother was Michael….that was enough to make both Gabe and you shudder. You looked over your shoulder at him laughing as you had slightly heard him too. This of course looked strange to the four boys standing in the kitchen.

"What-" Cas started to ask eyes squinted in suspicion until he was interrupted by Balth dramatically walking through the door. "The fun has arrived!" You couldn't help but feel something familiar about those words…'Where have I heard that before?' You thought to yourself. You were relieved of thinking duty as Dean pointed a finger at Balth before saying "Did you just quote Tarzan?" Balthazar shrugged as he came over giving you a one armed hug before leaning against the fireplace. "What I'm retired from heaven duty I've got plenty of time why not watch one of the greatest movies of all time." He said nonchalantly, you looked up slightly to see Cas with a confused look. Gabe knew what they were talking about but looked disinterested. Sam, Dean, and Bobby just looked weirded out. You smiled shaking your head.

"Have any of you talked to the others?" You asked looking to the three of your brothers who had actually showed up on time. Cas and Gabe shrugged their shoulders so you looked to Balth trying to hide your disappointment. Of course being one of your older brothers (not hard when you're the youngest) he could still the slight dim in your eyes. He of course pretended he hadn't noticed anything. "Umm…I talked to Michael and he seemed genuinely happy to be coming. I haven't talked to Lucifer." She nodded forcing a smile onto her face. "Alright well we should probably go ahead an-"

You were interrupted by the sound of the door knocking. You looked to the Winchesters and Bobby confused "We're you expecting anyone?" They shook their heads no before giving you a very obvious look "Don't you think maybe it's one of your brothers?" Sam asked trying his hardest not to be rude at how oblivious you could be to things. "My brothers wouldn't knock." You were talking towards the door when Balth said something you couldn't help but stop from "Yeah, love is an open door in our family." Balth didn't seem to even realize he had said it. Though he quickly figured something was off as literally everyone was staring at him…"What?" It was you who commented this time "…Did you just quote Frozen?" Balth threw it right back at you with "Did I reference something from Frozen yes, yes I did." He left no room for any other comments to be made as he took another swig of the most likely alcoholic beverage he had poofed two minutes ago.

You walked away still looking at him skeptically and slightly suspicious as to if this was actually your brother or not…you grabbed the handle still watching him only to turn when the person cleared their throat. "Oh sorry I was just…looking at my brother…" Lucifer was standing outside leaning against the doorframe actually wearing a clean shirt for once. You could feel the tears pooling in your eyes before you lunged forward pulling him to you yelling. "Luce!" He hugged you back gently, he smiled into your hair giving your head a slight peck. "Hey Y/N, what's with the crocodile tears?" He didn't push you to look at him knowing you just wanted to soak his shirt. "You're late." You said pulling away trying to scold him but breaking instantly. He raised his eyebrows at you "Did you think I was going to break my promise?" You held your hand to your chest faking shock "Of course not!" He threw his arm around you walking in.

You frowned at the automatic tension in the room as you walked in with Luce. You were quickly growing frustrated you were about to say something when you heard one more pair of wings make themselves known. Your eyes widened realizing they had all kept their promises! Michael had been the one you were worried about most of all, he was really bad with people sometimes. You turned the brightest smile you had ever shown on your face. "Mikey!" You ran over jumping into his arms (this was evidently a common greeting for you). He laughed squeezing you tight before looking over you to see everyone watching him now. Before you knew it the awkwardness was back…thank God for people like Gabriel "Hey bro." He said in the most causal way possible.

That casual look quickly gave way with a genuinely happy smile as Michael walked towards him giving him a hug. Gabe had to admit as much as he was relieved that Michael hadn't broken his promise to you he was overjoyed to have the entire family together again! Michael patted his back very glad that at least two of his siblings had forgiven him. He watched as Balthazar came up to him slightly hesitating before pulling him into a tight hug as well. "It's nice to have you back Michael." Michael patted his back before responding "It's good to be back."

Castiel was hesitant but he wanted nothing more than his old family and new family to combine. He looked to you, you were watching him as well with an almost pleading look. He sighed before stepping towards Michael. He smiled at how all of their souls still looked the same as they had those few hundred years ago. If you erased the memories of pain, betrayl, and war everything would appear normal and happy. He didn't really get a choice and was actually quite shocked when Michael pulled him in for one of the most meaningful hugs of his life. He quickly returned it realizing just how much he yearned for the comfort of his oldest sibling. He looked of to see you give him a sweet smile and satisifed nod.

You paused upon seeing Lucifer and Michale make eye contact though. They both took deep breaths as though they were preparing for another battle-for all any of you knew they might be-they both took a quick glance at you to which you smiled nervously at. Michale held out his hand to Lucifer who took it looking skeptically. "If you cannot forgive me then at least let us celebrate for her, for this family." Lucifer squeezed it in reponse before saying something no one really expected "Do you regret it?" Everyone knew what they were talking about, all you had to do is know who they were to know what they were talking about. Michael semeed to really ponder this question "I regretted it the moment it happened." Lucifer seemed to have the slightest of smiles as he nodded his head comprehenidng what his brother had just said.

"Good because I regret it too." That caused them both to laugh genuine laughs. Lucifer quickly pulled Michael in for a hug "I missed you brother." He heard Michael mummble into his ear. "Me too." You had to admit this is the happiest you had been in as long as you could remember! You waited a moment longer not wanting to ruin the most wonderful moment of your life. "Well I think we should eat before the food gets cold." Everyone agreed and you watched from your spot at the table as Michael and Lucifer said hi to Sam, Dean, and Bobby. You gave them an excited smile as you bowed your head thanking your dad for the chance to put your family back together.

You were all sitting around the table talking and laughing. Even Sam, Dean, and Bobby were getting along with everyone and having a good time! You felt a smirk appear on your face as you decided there was one more tradition from your childhood that you need to fulfill. Gabe and Cas were the first ones to notice the remmenising smile on your face. You looked so peaceful and happy with your eyes glossed over staring at an old memory. Eventually the other notcied them staring and watched as well. Finally no one could stand the mystery of what you were looking at anymore. So your brothers read your mind (something they were very hesitant to do since you had hit them all pretty hard last time). Almost as soon as the thought was put in their head they smiled. The only three non-angels in the room were still at a loss for what was happening. "What's going on?" Dean asked in an almost mean tone (but then again that's just Dean). Cas was the one to respond "When we were younger at home on Christmas we would always sing. She's thinking about that."

You were snapped out of your memories as you felt someone gently touch your shoulder. You looked over to see it was Gabe, they were all giving you these gentle smiles and you quickly realized what they had done. Instead of being the slightest bit mad though you looked them your face full of hope and childlike excitement. "Can we?" They all laughed at how sweet and innocent you looked. There was an understanding that passed before you all started in perfect harmony.
The fireplace is burning bright, shining all on me
I see the presents underneath the good old Christmas tree
And I wait all night 'til Santa comes to wake me from my dreams
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me

It felt so good to sing with them again. Lucifer's soothing beautiful voice blended well with everyone-though you all blended well with each other- Though Cas and Lucifer's rang out differently than the others only slightly more detectable. Yours of course was easily found too being the only girl.

I see the children play outside, like angels in the snow
While mom and daddy share a kiss under the mistletoe
And we'll cherish all these simple things wherever we may be
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me

You almost laughed at the shocked looks on Sam, Dean, and Bobby's faces. It was more of awe than complete shock either way it was amusing. You quickly snapped back into the singing allowing Lucifer's beautiful voice to guide you.

I've got this Christmas song in my heart
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me

Cas's voice could be heard more clearly as he took the leading of the song. You smiled at how it was as though nothing had changed.

I listen for the thud of reindeer walking on the roof
As I fall asleep to lullabies, the morning's coming soon
The only gift I'll ever need is the joy of family
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me

You smiled at how at peace Michael looked as he led the singing. All of you easily blending in behind him. Your smile brightened as Cas and Luce joined in with you as you started joining in with Michael.

I've got this Christmas song in my heart (song in my heart)
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me

Oh, the joy that fills our hearts and makes us see
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me

Oh, the joy that fills our hearts and makes us see
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me

I've got this Christmas song in my heart
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
And then for years to come we'll always know one thing
That's the love that Christmas can bring
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me

By the time the song was over everyone had bright smiles on their faces. Dean, Sam, and Bobby still looked surprised. You all laughed, finally you asked them "What did you really think we wouldn't be able to sing? We're angels." You said laughing as though it were obvious (for them it wasn't). Dean looked at Cas baffled. "I would never have pegged you as an alto." Cas smiled before saying "I'm actually a tenor." That caused more laughing before you finally calmed down enough to watch a movie.

After much argument you decided on Santa Clause. You laughed from your spot curled up on the couch with Sam and Dean and Cas sitting on the floor by your feet and Gabriel next to him. Luce and Miki sat on the other couch while Balth sat at their feet. You smiled shaking your head at the crazy family you had, but you loved it. Definitely best Christmas ever!

Authors note: Hi, so this took ALOT longer than I had originally planned. I got this thought Christmas Day and was writing by New Years Eve but it just didn't flow writing-wise as easy as I thought it would. Anyway I hope it was worth the wait and I hope everyone liked it. It basically went the way I wanted it to.

Also in case there was any confusion Michael was Avi, Lucifer was Scott, you were Christy, Castiel was Mitch, Gabriel was Kevin, and Balthazar just would join in with group parts and he did all of the backround stuff.

So thanks for reading and have a great weekend! Bye!
