Disclaimer-I do not own supernatural

It had been a few weeks now since Eva met Meg and ever since it was rare for Eva to move away from the window in the front room. She kept reading the letter Meg had left in her basket over and over again. During this time Eva had also grown up, by about 6 years said Cas making her sweet 16. With Meg letting slip that Crowley knew about Eva, Cas had been gone most of the time keeping an eye out for trouble. Which just left me, Dean, Balthazar and Bobby to baby sit the depressed teenager (Oh the joys!) Bobby had left earlier that day to go into town for supplies since Balthazar had the last beer the night before. "So, what do you want to do?" Asked Dean, "Anything, what about a game of cards?" I suggested. We both decided this was a good idea and told Balthazar. The three of us made our way into the kitchen and sat around the table "So what are we playing for chaps? Money...Oh I know, our most prized possessions!" Balthazar shuffled the cards as he spoke, "Since when did angels have money?" Dean said sitting down at the kitchen table. "I don't, that's why we are playing for possessions idiot!" Balthazar dealt the cards between the three of us. "So," he said. "What do you bring to the table?" It was obvious that Dean's most prized possession was the Impala so he threw in the keys to the car, I bet my laptop and Balthazar a bottle of vintage wine (apparently made in heaven) naturally.

The card game that we intended to play if you were wondering was pontoon (also known as 21). The aim of the game is to get as close to 21 without going over it. Ace was worth 1 or 11, Queen, King and Jack is worth 10 and the rest the number the value was given for example 8 of diamonds would be worth 8. Simples! Balthazar took on the roll as the dealer, as Dean was about to ask for another card Eva appeared behind me suddenly. "Hey." I jumped as Eva spoke which made Balthazar smirk. "Um hey Eva, do you want to watch us play?" I asked trying to keep my cards hidden from Dean who was trying to sneak a peek. "No actually, I was wondering if I could join in." Balthazar started to laugh, Eva raised her glance at him confused at what he found so amusing. "I'm sorry but you're too young to be playing and have no knowledge or skill about this game. Sit down and watch how you really play, ok?" Balthazar spoke in a very sarcastic tone towards Eva. "Shut it you!" She said pulling over a chair and putting her hand out for cards, "I could take you any day." Balthazar shrugged his shoulders and dealt Eva the cards saying "So what do you bring to the table?"

"The truth." Eva said, tossing Megs letter into the middle of the table. "You have to tell me everything there is to know about Meg and my father Cas, down to every little detail. Why they aren't together, why you detest her existence and who this Crowley character is. Got that?" Balthazar raised his eyebrow at Eva, sat back in his chair relaxed and looking at his hand said. "Apart from the obvious, I'll tell you everything. Deal." We had done best of 3; I was the first to go out followed by Dean who was beaten by Balthazar by 1 point, which left the decider between Eva and Balthazar. Eva had turned out to be quite a nifty player when it came to cards beating both me and Dean by a mile. "You have done well young sky walker. The force is strong in this one." Balthazar said winking towards me and Dean shuffling the cards ready to deal them between him and Eva. "Flattery gets you nowhere wise guy..." The tension between Eva and Balthazar was very intense. Balthazar was the first to reveal his hand, a queen and a king gave Balthazar a grand total of 20 points. "And that child is how you play cards..." Balthazar started to pull the goods towards him but Eva slammed her cards to the table making him stop. The card on top was a king; Eva separated the cards slowly revealing an ace. She had whipped Balthazar by winning with pontoon, 21 points. "And that boys..." She said pulling away the goods from a stunned Balthazar, "Is how you play cards!" Chuffed that she was now one up on Balthazar (and let's be honest, who wouldn't be) she took the bottle of wine and read the label and said "Hmm, classy Balthazar. Shame you won't be having this anytime soon. Dean..." Eva passed the bottle on to Dean who acted like a kid at christmas and a little smug at receiving the gift. "You should play cards more often!" He said putting the wine in the fridge.

"So, time for me to spill the beans I take it." Balthazar took the letter from the table to get Eva's attention as he spoke. "From what dear Cassey tells me, it was a one off with your mother who is a demon dweller of hell and I don not like for obvious reasons." Eva nodded her head as she listened to Balthazar. "The morning after Cas woke up oblivious to how far he and Meg went, basically because he had one hell of a hangover. By the way have you ever seen that film? I would completely recommend it-!"

"-No I haven't seen that film, so you were saying?" Balthazar rolled his eyes at how persistent Eva was being. "Meg had vanished, so Castiel thought nothing of it. He only found out about you when the rest of us did. You were how these apes would say, an accident."

"Jee thanks wise man! So Meg and Cas are, divorced?" Asked Eva innocently, "Divorced *Laughs, that's an understatement! You were never meant to be, don't think God would know what category to place you under. Diabolical I would say."

"And what about Crowley? Who is he?"

"A cross roads demon. Never met him myself, luckily for him, but can be an arrogant little so and so I hear."

"Just like yourself then..." Balthazar smiled at Eva's comment and folded his arms trying not to lose his temper. "Well I can see where you get the lip from and it isn't from Cas." Eva took the letter and folded it placing it in her jeans pocket.

"So that's the story of my life...you don't approve of me do you?" Balthazar got up from the table as she spoke. "Take that as a no then..." She said throwing dirty looks behind Balthazar's back. Dean took this opportunity to indulge in the vintage wine Eva had won which left me sitting next to Eva alone. "Ignore him." I said, nodding my head towards Balthazar who was looking through Bobby's book case. "Well what do you see me as Sam, honestly? A freak of nature, messed up kid, screwed up?" Eva looked into my eyes as she spoke. Clearing my throat I gave her my absolute honest opinion about her. "None of the above." I said "Your Castiel's daughter, and that's all that matters to me." Eva smiled and leaned against my arm saying under her breath, "Thanks." Dean eventually shared the wine with the rest of us including Eva after repeatedly saying "Get your own!" for some time. We spent the evening like any other ordinary people(If you can call two grown men sitting watching TV with an angel and angel/demon teenager on a Saturday night "normal") Bobby came back not long after 6pm and came to sit with the four of us, but our quiet evening would soon be interupted by a bloody Castiel...

A.N-So what do you think, not to bad I hope ;) Nice bonding going on with Sam and Eva (awww). I guess I better stick to what I said about telling you whats comming up in the following chapters now,well...Crowley will be paying a visit soon to the Winchester house hold soon(Oh yeah!) and Castiel does come back covered in blood, but I didn't say it was his own blood...Please keep reading and feel free to ask any questions relating to the story or anything else. Happy reading!
