Chapter 3
Once everybody was sat in chairs around the large table, Gabriel started his explanations. He started with a sighed and looked at Castiel like he was looking at a small child.
"Did they ever told you what happen to an angel when it reach a certain age?" Gabriel asked slowly, just to make sure he was understood.
Castiel, of course, shook his head. And Gabriel simply continued.
"Alright, so when an angel is old enough, its grace gathers altogether in one specific place in the angel's vessel." Gabriel said.
"The stomach." Castiel stated and his brother nodded.
"Indeed. So when this happen, it means that the grace is slowly making another living grace." Gabriel continued. "Which of course means, another angel. This is why angels were still being created after dad left."
"Wait… you mean that Castiel is… He is… what pregnant?" Dean asked, not really understanding the logic behind it all.
"This is what I just said but in other words, yes." Gabriel replied.
"But he's a guy!" Dean said.
"Angels doesn't have genders, Dean." Sam answered for the archangel who nodded at him.
"Did you went through this before?" Castiel asked as Gabriel turned to face him.
"Nope, this shit only work with regular angels." Gabriel said.
"Does it always hurt like this?" Castiel asked.
"No and you just guessed the problem." The archangel started. "Since you been on earth for a long time, your grace is less powerful than it was before. Which mean your grace is searching deep inside you for any part of grace it can find. And this is why, if somebody doesn't help you, this can probably kill you."
"Kill him? But can he just stop this or something?" Dean asked.
"Nope, you're stuck with that in you until it's gone. In about six months." Gabriel said.
"So who needs to help him?" Sam asked as he was mentally taking notes of the situation.
Gabriel smirked at them and looked at Dean, right in his eyes. "This is when it get interesting." He simply said before his head turned to Castiel. "Since you can't escape from this and that you don't have your full grace, you will need something more. Which is call a bond."
Castiel looked at him and they all could see the sudden fear in his eyes. "But I don't tru… know anybody." Castiel said. Trust was more appropriate but it felt like if he was scared of his brothers and he really wasn't.
"I do know that you do not want to bond with one of our brothers so I can suggest you another option. Which is basically the same thing but with a human. But there is some rules you need to follow if you want this to work." And it was at this moment that the archangel looked over at Dean again. "It has to be your human charge."
"I'm lost… what?" Dean said as he looked at both of the angels. "What is a bond?"
"A bond is when an angel grace tie itself to another grace or soul." Castiel explained quickly.
"And what does it do?" Dean continued to ask.
"In this case it would help Castiel to reach into your soul for the missing piece of his grace." Gabriel said.
"Alright… seem okay but I feel like there is more to that than just what you are telling me." Dean said.
"You don't have to, Dean." Castiel suddenly said as he felt Gabriel ready to reply with the full answer.
Dean frowned at the blue eyed angel and turned his head to look at Gabriel. He patiently waited for the answer with curious eyes. Sam listened but he already had a small idea what this was about. And he was kind of worried… for Castiel.
"I'm just going to explain to you the bond between soul and grace because it's basically the same thing so there we go. Every angels have a charge, normally the charge is human and normally both of the being already have a connection. Which you two already have so we don't need to worry about that. Once an angel grace is bonded to the human soul the connection is seal. The angel can feel every feeling of the human and vise versa. And one can reach into their connection to use energy. For the creating of this new angel, it would only mean that Castiel would need to reach into your soul, take the energy he needs to create the angel and that would be it. Oh and since it's human and angel, this new angel would already have a vessel made for itself. Which means, if you two do this, that you will basically be parents." Gabriel explained.
Dean nodded and took in the information as best as he could. Castiel listened closely and watched Dean's reactions. He didn't want to force Dean into anything. The hunter frowned at Gabriel and spoke another time.
"But when does the bond happen? What would we need to do?" Dean asked.
"What do you think? Kiss, have sex. Make that baby happen." Gabriel smiled.
"What?" Dean asked a bit too loud.
"Gabriel!" Castiel shouted as well.
"Alright, I made that up… I have no idea how you do it. I never done it." Gabriel said.
Castiel looked at Dean and sighed. "Your soul would need to accept my grace and I would need to do the same. The only contact we need would be me marking you. Just like with your shoulder." Castiel explained as best as he could.
"Can I… can I think about it? I mean, forget the privacy if we do that…" Dean said.
"I would leave that alone. I do not want to make you uncomfortable." Castiel said.
"Can I still see people? Like… you know." Dean asked and Castiel could only nodded. He hissed and looked at his brother. Gabriel put his hand on his forearm again and eased the pain. "Thanks." Castiel simply said.
"You still have some time before it become urgent. I'll come back in about two days. Or just call me when you have decided." Gabriel said as he raised his hand to snap his fingers.
"Gabriel." Sam suddenly said.
"Yes?" The archangel replied.
"Do you have any other information on Castiel's part?" Sam asked.
"I knew you wanted to do some research. I'll bring you books in two days, when those two decide." Gabriel said before snapping his fingers and disappearing.
