A.J. took a deep breath as she rolled onto her back. She brought her hands up to her face and started rubbing her eyes. She grumbled as her head pounded uncontrollably.

"Oh God." She groaned. She slowly sat up in her bed looking to her side seeing Castiel was no longer laying there. She sighed and a smile came across her face as she recounted the wonderful kiss she shared with him. Goosebumps developed all over her body as she closed her eyes happily. She ran her fingers over her lips, opened her eyes again, and groggily got up from her bed. She made her way out of her room and down the hallway; holding her forehead as the light made her head pound harder.

She made her way to the table and eagerly sat down, forcing her head down onto the table and groaning in pain.

"Good morning, Sunshine!" A.J. lifted her head and grumbled as Dean stood there with a wide smile on his face. She slowly lowered her head back onto the table and waved at him weakly.

"I brought you some water." Dean chuckled as he slammed it down onto the table. A.J. gave him the thumbs up; and she reached out for the glass of water and wrapped her fingers around the glass. She lifted her head and took two large gulps of water.

"Thanks." She said softly as Dean laid a hand on her shoulder and began playfully shaking her whole body. She smiled as she reached up to his hand and ripped it off of her shoulder,

"Unless you want vomit on your shoes I suggest you stop." She said half serious, half-jokingly. Dean smirked as he patted her back one last time and sat down next to her.

"You want a donut?" He asked as he shoved half of one in his mouth. She opened her eyes and stared at him.

"Again vomit." She said closing her eyes again and taking a sip of water. She sighed as she heard Dean get up from the table walking away and then heard someone else sit down.

"Let me help you with that, Alexandria." A smile grazed her lips as she felt a warm hand on her cheek and finger tips slightly lying in her hair. She felt a warm sensation pierce through her body and instantly felt 100% better. She excitedly opened her eyes to Castiel sitting there looking at her. He smiled at her as his hand was still lying on her cheek and he began to slowly stroke her cheek.

"Cas, what are you doing?" Cas jerked his head and looked up at Sam standing behind him. He quickly removed his hand from A.J.'s face and sat up straight,

"Nothing I was simply helping her recover." He retorted quickly as Sam eyed him and walked around the table. A.J. lifted her head off of the table and looked over at Sam and watched him eye both of them.

"What time did you guys go to bed last night?" Sam asked like a parent pointing at each of them. A.J. rolled her eyes and looked over at a horrified Castiel. She laughed trying to take the attention away from Cas' awkward face and said,

"Not too long after you guys left." She said as Cas' face relaxed a little and he nodded his head in agreement.

"Yes I helped her to bed not to long after you left." Cas said as Sam raised an eyebrow and Dean sat down next to Sam as Dean was looking at him curiously.

"What are we talking about?" Dean asked as he held another donut in his hand and took a large bite. Sam looked over at Dean with his eyebrow still raised and pointed toward A.J. and Cas,

"Cas took her to bed last night." Dean looked over at Cas with both eyebrows raised

"He did what?" He said with a mouth full of food as a few pieces escaped from his mouth and fell onto the table. Cas sighed and looked over at a scarlet faced A.J. She placed her hands on her face and shook her head back and forth groaning.

"Not like that." She said as she peered at Sam and Dean through her spread fingers and they both eyed her suspiciously.

"Mmhmm." Dean said as he shook his head up and down looking at Cas and A.J. A.J. rolled her eyes again. She never knew what it felt like to have over protective siblings until now. She thought it was funny that they were interrogating her and Cas like they were her parents.

A.J. shrugged her shoulders and looked over at them with a smile, "I am 25 you know?" She said as she crossed her arms over her chest. Sam and Dean looked at her even more suspiciously and shook their heads. Dean shrugged his shoulders and got up from the table,

"Just don't let me see all that kissy-kissy lovey crap." He said as he pointed at them and cringed, "I think I'm about to lose my breakfast." He said as he brought his hands to his stomach and walked out of the room quickly.

Sam looked over at Dean as he exited the room and pushed his chair back from the table; while pushing his self-up out of the chair. He gave A.J. and Cas a look as he pointed at them and he exited the room.

Cas looked over at A.J. with a worried expression and wide eyes, "That was close. I thought they were going to kill me." He said as he slowly relaxed his shoulders and slumped forward and A.J. laughed,

"I wouldn't let them." She said as she stood up gracefully from the chair and gave Cas a kiss on the cheek as she walked out of the room.

"I saw that!" Dean yelled from the distance which made A.J. laugh hysterically as she quickly made her way to her room and grabbed some clothes so she could go into the bathroom and get cleaned up.

After taking a shower, brushing her teeth, and brushing her hair she emerged from the bathroom feeling completely refreshed. She closed the bathroom door and headed to her bedroom and found Castiel standing in there waiting for her.

She smiled as he watched her walk in, "What's up, Cas?" She asked as he smiled and they both sat on her bed.

"Your mother came and saw me last night." Cas said as A.J.'s eyes widened with jealousy as she looked at Cas.

"She came to see you?" A.J. asked as she pointed toward him, "Why?" She raised an eyebrow. Cas carefully pulled out the locket from his pocket and placed it in A.J.'s hand.

"She wanted to tell you Happy Birthday." Cas said looking down at her hand with a smile.

A.J. looked down at the locket that was in her hand and ran her finger over the engraved "A.J." and carefully tried to open it. She placed her fingernail into the crack and desperately tried to pry it open, but it wouldn't budge. She sighed as she looked down at the locket and ran her fingers over it again.

"Can you put it on me?" She asked as she looked over at Cas and he shook his head. She quickly handed the locket to him and turned her body. Cas carefully undid the clasp on the necklace and lowered it over her head, carefully grazing her skin with his fingertips.

A.J. held onto the locket as Cas put the necklace back together. A.J. smiled and looked down at the locket.

"Thank you." She said as she placed a hand on Cas' hand. He smiled and shook his head,

"You're welcome." He said as he sighed loudly and stood up in front of A.J., "We need to keep training you." Cas said as A.J. looked up at him and nodded,

"I know." She sighed getting frustrated with her lack of progress. Cas looked at A.J. and helped her stand up. He put a finger under her chin and raised her head so they made eye contact.

"I believe in you, Alexandria, but I think the only way to make progress is by doing this." He said as they suddenly disappeared from her bedroom and they were suddenly standing in the middle of high grass land. The sun was shining brightly and the green leaves on the trees stood still.

A.J. looked around in amazement as she broke away from Castiel. "Where are we?" She asked with a smile as she made a slight spin, taking in all the scenery. Castiel looked toward the ground and grabbed A.J.'s hand.

"Alexandria," He sighed and pointed toward a poor looking farm house, "Your baby is in there." Her smile quickly faded and she turned toward the farm house. She pointed toward it and jerked her head frantically back at Cas.

"Are you serious?" She heaved as she took a few foot steps toward the house, "What are we waiting for?" She asked as she took off running. Castiel sighed heavily as he suddenly appeared in front of her and their bodies collided.

"Castiel, get out of my way," She said as she tried to push her body off of his. "I have to go save him!" She said as her eyes began to well up with tears. Cas turned his head down toward hers and met her gaze.

"Now is not the right time, Alexandria," She pushed off of him with anger as the wind began to pick up into a soft breeze, blowing A.J.'s hair into her face. She quickly tucked it behind her ears as a few tears escaped onto her pale face. A burning anger was growing in her stomach as she stomped her foot into the ground.

"Why did you bring me here then?!" She yelled as the wind began to pick up speed blowing her hair in every direction. Cas looked up into the wind taking a deep breath and pointing,

"This is why." He simply stated as A.J. raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"What!?" She yelled more angrily again as a twinkle of white light began to appear in her eyes, almost enveloping every part of her eyeball.

"This," He said pointing into the air again, "Your anger, your pain, it triggers this reaction." He said as he took a step closer to A.J.

A.J. frantically looked around as the twinkle in her eye suddenly vanished and the wind slowly died down. She was breathing heavily as Cas came and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"This reaction is everything you need for this fight." He said as her eyes met his and more tears escaped onto her cheek.

She rolled her eyes and pushed herself back from Cas and started walking in the opposite direction. Cas was left standing there with a confused and hurt look on his face. He didn't like hurting her like that, but he needed this to light a fire in her.

A.J. felt very helpless as she walked away from Cas. She knew he had good intentions, but she wanted to rush through that door and scoop her baby up. She wanted to be able to take him back to the bunker and not have to worry anymore.

"Is this what you wanted?" Castiel asked as Abdiel took a step forward and put a hand onto Cas' shoulder. She looked toward the ground with no expression and sighed,

"This is the push she needed, Castiel; her progress will be much faster after this." She said as she lifted her head up and met Castiel's worried gaze.

"She will be fine, Castiel." She said as she watched Alexandria stomp off into the distance frantically wiping more tears off of her cheeks.

Abdiel pointed up into the sky as rain clouds began to form and tiny rain drops began to fall onto her skin.

"There is so much more that she can do, Castiel." She said as she regained her gaze with him. "She is far from a normal Nephilim." She said as a smirk came across her face and Castiel nodded in agreement.

"Yes far from normal, very powerful." Castiel said as he stuck his hand out and let a few drops fall onto his hand.

"Go get her, Castiel, danger is near." Abdiel urgently requested as Castiel looked back over to see that Abdiel had disappeared. He heard distant voices coming from over by the farm house as he sighed heavily and appeared right next to A.J.

"Alexandria, we must go danger is near." He said as she looked over at him with tear stained cheeks. She nodded in agreement.

"It's ok, Castiel, I understand everything." She whispered solemnly as she slowly leaned into him for a hug. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and rested his head on the top of hers. He placed his lips on the top of her head and zapped them both back into her room.

She sighed as she pulled her head off of Castiel and looked into his eyes.

"Castiel, I understand why you did it," She said somberly as he lowered his head and they rested their foreheads on each other's and their noses touched, "I appreciate you trying to help me, but it hurt my heart." She said as she brought Cas' hand up and made him touch her heart. Cas sighed heavily as A.J. placed a hand on the back of his neck. She began to slowly run her fingers through his hair.

"Don't worry, Castiel, You had to do, what you had to do." She said as he leaned down and gave her a gently kiss on the lips.

"Good God shut the door!" Dean yelled as he walked past the door with a hand covering his eyes. Cas and A.J. smiled as they turned their attention towards the door and laughed together. A.J. slowly pulled away from their embrace, walking over to the door and closing it. She turned toward her bed and sat down; patting the spot beside her. Castiel made his way and sat next to A.J. and placed his arm around her.

They talked for hours about the past, the present, and even the impending future.
