Chapter 13
Castiel and Alfie looked up when they heard movement in the kitchen the next morning. Both sensed it was Sam getting ready to start breakfast. It wasn't long before young voices were heard coming down the hall toward them. Both boys stopped when they saw the new person sitting in the living room.
"Chance, Tyler this is...This is Alfie, he's going to help watch over you guys." Castiel introduced them to Alfie.
"Hello."
"Hi." Chance said as Tyler hid partly behind him, eyeing the young guy closely.
"Come on guys, I've got breakfast ready for you." Sam called from the kitchen. "Then get ready for school, my turn to drop you off."
"Ok Uncle. Come on Ty, let's eat."
"We will need to go to school with them, best to be invisible so no ones ask questions." Castiel instructed Alfie. "Be sure to check the area for any threats, the youngest is only in preschool half a day and the other is in the school until 2:45. I will watch the older one and you the younger one."
"Alright, I will keep him safe."
"Dean said they only have a couple of weeks of school left, so we won't have to do it for long."
"How do I...Well...I've never been around small humans before...How do I act?"
"Be yourself, children are open and honest. Tyler is shy at first until he gets to know you. Have patience, don't be afraid."
"I will try my best."
"Let's go talk to the boys; they need to understand we will be there." Castiel said heading for the kitchen with Alfie following him. "Sam, I wanted to explain to the boys what the plan is for today."
"Guys, you need to listen to Cas ok." Sam instructed the boys who looked over at Cas and Alfie.
"Dean is concerned with your safety while you're at school, so Alfie and I are going to school with you. You won't be able to see us, but we will be there if you need us. I will be with Chance and Alfie will be with Tyler since he only goes half a day."
"How will you know if we are in trouble?" Chance asked him.
"I will be there, always near by where I can see you, even if you can't see me."
"Tyler, you understand what Cas is saying?" Sam asked the younger brother.
"Yes, I think." he frowned slightly trying to take it all in.
"Alfie is going to be at school with you to make sure you are safe."
Tyler stole a glance at Alfie who tried to look non-threatening. He smiled a small smile at him and waved. Alfie smiled back and waved. Tyler didn't perceive that this older person a danger, just nervous.
"You won't be able to see Alfie, Tyler, but he will be there."
"Even in restroom?"
"I will wait by the door, if you need me; you just have to pray to me." Alfie assured him sensing the boy's uneasiness.
"Ok."
"Times wasting, go on get ready, the Sammobile leaves in twenty minutes." he urged the boys.
"Come on Ty, let's get ready."

"Hey baby girl, you ready to get up?" Dean asked picking his daughter up.
"Dada." she cried as he laid her down to change her.
"Let's get you a dry bottom and go hunt some breakfast."
"Dee, need help?" Esmee yawned starting to get up.
"Stay, I've got this. Mary and I need some Daddy and daughter time."
"Alright, call if you need me." she mumbled settling back into to covers.
"How 'bout some oatmeal with strawberries?"
"Ber." she clapped.
"Yeah, berries and maybe some milk for you and coffee for me."

"Hey." Sam says walking into the kitchen to find Dean feeding Mary.
"Hey, did the boys get to school with the angels?"
"Yeah, they took it pretty good, kind of liked the idea even."
"Good and they know to keep a low profile; all we need is them arrested for lurking. After Es gets up, we'll do some extra warding around the house and she wants to move Mary to her own room now."
"Really? She wouldn't move her before, wanted her to be close, you know since you were gone. And yeah, I told the two of them to be careful."
"I figured as much. One more bite baby girl."
"I'm going to call Bobby, see what he's working on."
"Sounds good."
"Here's your milk, I'm goin' to make your Mom some breakfast, maybe even serve it to her in bed. What you say baby girl?"
Mary gurgled and babbled to Dean as he busied himself with making Esmee breakfast.

"I'm off guys. I am going to take Alfie and Tyler to the thrift store to get him some clothes that fit." Esmee called to the guys out the back door. "You good watching Mary?"
"Why don't I go with you?" Dean asked heading for her, handing Mary off to Sam.
"I should be ok; I'm carrying; besides its only fifteen minutes away and Alfie will be with us."
"I swear I don't see how he could fight his way out of a wet paper bag in that skinny body."
"Looks can be deceiving, most would think I was a helpless, cowering female, but you know better."
"I should, I taught you." he boasted.
"And such a good teacher you were." she praised throwing him a kiss before leaving.
"Damn, I love that woman." he mumbled to himself.

"Momma!" Tyler called when he saw the van pull around. "Come on Alfie."
"Hey guys, did you have a good day in school?"
"Yes, I made pictures."
"Wonderful, I'll look at them when we get home; right now we're going to get Alfie some clothes."
"I'm hungry."
"Alfie, there's some snacks in the bag back there, could you get him something?"
"Yes, I can do that."
"Did you have an interesting day?"
"I'm not sure, that many children in one place was rather..."
"I know a little overwhelming if you're not use to it. So I figure you need some jeans, tee-shirts, jacket, maybe some sweats."
"Are you sure all that is required?"
"Can't have you running around in that hot dog uniform all the time. People will notice."
"If you think best."
"I do, it'll be fun shopping. I wanted to see if they had any clothes for the boys anyway, both are growing so fast, can't keep them in clothes."
"Alfie, juice please."
"Of course, it's in the bag." Alfie replied digging around in the tote to find the juice box.

"Ready to move some furniture?" Dean questioned his brother.
"Lead the way, Mary's sleeping on the floor in the living room. She should be out for about an hour or so."
"I figure get the changing table out and swap it with the dresser in the other bedroom. Then get the crib moved."
"Did you measure to be sure it'll fit through the door?"
"No, crap, so if it don't, guess we take it apart."
"Do you remember how hard it was to put together? It took us what over an hour or more." Sam griped remembering how impatient Dean had gotten. "You wouldn't let me check for instructions online and then you used the wrong screws and we had to take part of it back apart."
"Well, I guess you need to remember how we take it apart geek boy."
"Jerk."
"Grab the dresser drawers and quit bitching, Bitch."
Sam huffed at his brother and began to take a couple of drawers out to make it easier to move. Dean stacked two of them together and carried his load into Mary's bedroom. Sam side stepped him as he carried his load and deposited it on the bed. He headed back to the other bedroom to find Dean trying to measure the crib with his arms and then the doorway.
"You know it might just fit, maybe lift it up on its side and go through sideways." he reasoned tilting his head studying the doorway in deep thought.
"You know we could just measure it to be sure." Sam commented picking up the tape measure he had snagged from the kitchen.
"Smart ass."
"Beats getting it stuck in the doorway."
"Whatever." he conceded stepping back for Sam to measure, sometimes his little brother was too OCD.
Sam measured the crib and then measured to doorway, then measured the crib again. Stepping back, he envisioned picking up the crib and how they could wedge it out the door and through the other. He ran the different ways through his mind determining what would be the easiest.
"Well Einstein, you done yet?"
"Yes, I think it can be done, but first take the mattress out and we need to take to doors off their hinges to get them out of the way." he instructed his brother step by step much to his complaining.
Dean popped the bolts out of the hinges allowing Sam to move the door into the hall. They quickly did the same with the other door and proceeded to tilt the crib on its side and wrestle it out the door and into the other bedroom.
"See, I told you it would be easy." Dean concluded sitting the crib back up and popping the mattress back in place. "Let's put it over here and the dresser over there. That way the bed can still be easily used." he ordered taking back control of the move. Sam twitched his lips with a slight smile, knowing Dean needed to be in control of any situation, no matter how small. He had missed his brother and his set ways.
"Hey, quit daydreaming and help." he complained punching him lightly in the arm. "I hear noises from the living room, better go check on Mary."
"Don't hear anything." Sam started and then caught a soft muffling sound. "Good hearing."
"Whatever." he shrugged heading down the hall.
"You want lunch now or later?"
"I'm sure Mary's going to be hungry. Might as well eat too."
"I'll throw together some sandwiches."
"Sounds good, hey baby girl." Dean coos to Mary. "Want a dry bottom and something to eat?"
"Dada." Mary sniffs settling into his chest and snuggling her head into his neck.
"Don't you go back to sleep, you need to sleep tonight. But I do love the snuggle time." he whispered kissing the top of her head and hugging her close. "Your Momma will kill me if she has to stay up with you. Well, she'd make me stay up, and I don't want to do that."
"Ca-Ca."
"Castiel is at school with your brother, he'll be home later." Dean said laying her down on the changing table to change her diaper. "You really like him don't you baby girl."
"Ya-ya, Me-me, bye." Mary babbled trying to pick things up from the table.
"Lunch in five." Sam called down the hall.
"Be right there."
