Confused, all three brothers went to the door, followed by little angels lined up like ducklings. Dean snatched up Cas and Gabriel had attached himself to Sam's back. Dean opened the door and was met with-
"Chuck?!"
"…Uh, hey…"
"DADDY!"
Angels ran over to Chuck; the arch angels using him as a play ground as they clawed their way up him. Balthazar swung from his hand, throwing the man's balance off.
"Ow, ow, okay, Lucifer that's my ear. Micha ow- ribs! Gabe that's – that's very funny get your fingers out of my nose." Chuck leaned from side-to-side and made an attempt to remove the boys from him. Raphael ran in, grabbing the hem of Chuck's jacket as he set the others to their feet. "Go play with Raph…" he stamped quickly at them, sending the four squealing away. He picked up Balthazar, whose head immediately went to rest his father's collar.
Castiel outstretched a hand toward Chuck warily; he beamed when the man took his chubby hand with his thumb and forefinger and pressed a kiss to his palm.
"OK," Dean laughed, "What the hell is going on?" he asked, suddenly turning stern.
Sam watched Chuck hand his head, turn to the angel in his arms, and switch his feet. "You're…God…aren't you?" Sam asked, receiving a nod.
"And you didn't tell us?!" Dean shouted, "Don't you think that would've been helpful information!"
"I know…let me – let me explain."
They all four sat in the library, Winchesters and Milligan surrounding the other. Cas and Balthy had asked if any others could come play with them so they were currently playing house with Anna and Hannah; Cas and Hannah were the babies, Anna was the mommy, and Balthazar was the puppy.
Dean spun his chair backwards, leaning forward, "So, why have you been gone for so long? Why the hell would you just up and leave?" he questioned, irritation building in his voice.
Chuck fiddled with his sleeve, "Well, when Lucifer had to be put in the cage and Gadreel let the serpent into-"
"OK, skip the Sunday School and tell us." Dean fussed, receiving a pinch from either brother.
He sighed, "So many angels were being born and they were expecting these perfect creatures…I couldn't take the questions Gabe and Michael and Raphael would come to me with… so I left." From his spot on Adam's lap Samandriel began to cry.
"Sorry…" Adam stood and ran to the kitchen to find a bottle.
"I kept in contact for a while. Everything was going fine. The Messiah was born, pagan religions were decreasing everything was going well..." Pain built in on Chuck's face, remembering how things were, no one knowing where he stayed and Gabriel even leaving Heaven after himself.
"So why did you decide now to start being with them again?" Sam asked, noticing his distress.
Chuck smiled and glanced at the four playing together, "Castiel."
"What about him?" Dean asked, tossing a pacifier Adam's way.
"He finally started leading them. It was what he was always meant to do. He was to show them how to be independent and how to love humanity." A smile graced his face in the tot's direction.
Cas sat beside Anna sucking down juice from his sippy cup while Balthazar tried to lap up his own like a dog. The smaller smacked his brother with one ebony wing, leaving the other across Hannah's knees.
"I just wish he could focus more on that than returning everyone." Chuck sighed.
"So why are they all kids?" Sam asked.
"I'm resetting Heaven. It brings everyone back and makes them all children. It's sort of a nothing-is-going-right-so-let's-try-this-again security."
"Wait, so they all have to grow up again?" Sam questioned, watching his brother's expression turn frightened.
"No," Chuck said, allowing the oldest brother to breathe. "The effects should wear off in two weeks."
"So we're stuck with them like this for two weeks?" Adam chimed in, looking down at the baby slobbering on his sleeve.
"Yes."
The archangels all ran in, tears slipping down their faces. They each chose a lap; Michael with dean, Gabriel with Sam, Luci with Adam and Raphael with Chuck.
"Woah, woah, woah, what's going on?" Dean questioned as Michael attempted to burrow into his ribs.
"Spiders!" he mumbled.
They all exchanged looks of Are you kidding me? and detached the children from themselves. Sam continued holding Gabriel, who had not calmed his crying in the least bit. Luci and Raphael each grabbed one of Chuck's hands and dragged him toward the Spider Room. Dean, Sam, and Adam plus Samandriel followed, entering the room to see several wolf spiders attempting to climb the wall. Michael pointed at them, as if they weren't obviously what was causing his and his brothers' distress.
Dean yanked off his show and smashed all five of the spiders, resulting a chorus of 'hooray!'s from the kids. Cas and Balthazar ran in to see what they were missing, the girls following suit.
"Eww, spi'er…" Cas mumbled. He looked up at Dean, who gave him a smile, and stretched his arms out. "Up, up!"
The hunter heaved him up, settling the angel on his hip.
Over the course of the next week the boys and angels all developed a routine. Around six in the morning Samandriel would begin crying, which would wake the other angels who would either start crying themselves or would get up to go find their favorite brother. Baths would be given once everyone was awake and then by seven thirty breakfast could be served.
Adam had taken to caring for Samandriel, finding the baby the easiest to care for. Occasionally Castiel or Balthazar would come over to play with the baby, but the two were usually occupied with following Dean around like little ducklings.
Sam had discovered the angels had a love for arts 'n' crafts, so he tried to find as many activities online for them to do as he could. It kept the three of them entertained, which was all he cared about. That and the fact that Gabriel like to draw platypuses. He had no idea why. Must have just been a Gabe thing.
Dean found himself one afternoon, the second week having started, alone babysitting a sick Cas. The two-year-old had developed a cold so to keep the sickness levels down, Adam and Sam opted to take the rest of the angels out for supper. Dean didn't mind staying with Cas, after all he was the quietest and least head-ache inducing. The only problem was how clingy the black-haired child was being. Dean had a lapful of baby angel while trying to watch TV, small coughs wetting his jeans every few minutes. Cas' small fingers were weakly wrapped around a fold in Dean's pants, a small comfort the hunter guessed. He ran his fingers through the sickly child's hair and rubbed small circles on his expose belly, finding that he was able to make Castiel smile if he tickled the inside of his bellybutton.
Two hours later the rest of them came home, coughs and sniffles echoing down to Dean and the sleeping Cas. Dean looked up to see his brothers, who looked exhausted.
"They get sick, too?"
"Severely." Sam answer, shrugging his jacket off and lifting Gabriel and Luci, who were whining at his feet.
Loud sobs sounded from Samandriel, a hoarse cough shaking his carrier in Adam's hands. "Shh, stop crying." Adam pleaded, lifting him out. He bounced the baby on his hip in an attempt to stop his tears. Balthazar was already sleeping, having just curled up in his carseat. Adam sat down the seat and unbuckled him, making sure not to wake him up.
"I'll get him, you take care of Alfie." Dean said, having made his way over to pick up Balthazar.
The three eventually managed to get all six angels to calm down and fall asleep, though they were all trapped where they sat unless they wanted to start the process again. So they fell asleep with them.
Sam woke up the next morning with weight on top of him. He opened his eyes and was met with a sleeping full-grown Gabriel. "HOLY SHIT!" he shouted, falling back in his chair and landing on the ground. Gabriel woke up as did all the others.
"CAS!" Dean shoved his angel off his lap.
Adam looked beside him at who was laying on his arm, a blush taking over his face. Luckily when they grew back they were given clothes in their sizes. Samandriel looked at how close they were and scooted a bit away, "I'm sorry…"
"N-no worries, man…" Adam sat up.
Luci shoved Michael away from himself. "Why did we have to fall asleep together? Why not me and Sammy?" he whined, rolling toward Sam.
"I think it's time for you to go home, Lucifer."
"Aw, but why? We were having a good time."
"You were four."
"Dean why is your face so red? Is it because we slept together?"
"Cas, you don't just SAY it like that!"
And that's the conclusion! Yes I ship Adamandriel. Yes it was necessary for that to be a thing in this.
