"I don't think anyone is going to give the three of us a ride." A.J. said with a laugh as they continued walking down a long gravel road, kicking rocks with her feet. It had been three hours since they started walking and Castiel hadn't showed up and the sun beat down on them causing sweat to form on all three of them.
"I mean look at us." She said pointing to her now swollen and bruised face as dry blood rested under her nose.
Sam laughed and nodded in agreement and started looking around, "We have to be coming up on a hotel or something." He said trying to be reassuring as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Castiel, Castiel!" Dean yelled into the air as he flung his arms open, looking into the sky.
"Come out come out where ever you are" A.J. shouted playfully as she huffed, "I think it's useless." She added.
"I am here." The three suddenly stopped in their tracks and turned around to see Castiel standing there.
A.J. sighed and looked at him crinkling her eyebrows, "Are you ok?" She started walking toward him and he shook his head.
"I am fine." He said as he reached his arms out and hugged A.J. tightly, while kissing the top of her head.
Dean gave a sigh of relief as he came over to Cas and put a hand on his shoulder, "I'm glad you're here, Cas, but can we go back to the bunker now?" Dean said as he wiped sweat from his brow.
Cas shook his head as Sam walked over and put a hand on Cas too and in the blink of an eye they were back in the bunker.
"Oh thank God." A.J. said as she started anxiously walking away from Cas' embrace, "Kevin!" She shouted loudly looking around.
Dean raised an eyebrow and looked back at Cas as Cas nodded at him, "He has the baby." Cas said as Sam and Dean nodded their heads and started yelling for Kevin, but they got no response.
"Kevin!" A.J. shouted more frantically as she quickly walked down the hallway to his room. She quickly pushed his door open and gasped. She brought her hand up to her mouth and gave a joyful smile.
Kevin lay on his bed asleep with the baby curled up next to him. Dean and Sam came running up behind her and laid their eyes on Kevin and the baby.
A.J. started inching toward Kevin and gently put a hand on his shoulder, "Kevin." She said as his eyes flickered open and he looked at her with a smile.
"He fell asleep so I brought him to my bed." Kevin said as he looked down at the baby; whose eyes were still closed and his little fingers twitched.
A.J. looked at Kevin with a bright smile, "Thanks for taking care of him, Kevin." He nodded his head,
"It's no problem." Kevin said as A.J. carefully put her hands under the baby and lifted him up to her chest. She ran her fingers over his soft forehead and followed over the bridge of his nose. A tear started to form in A.J.'s eyes and fell onto her cheek as she gleefully held her baby for the first time ever.
Sam, Dean, Castiel, and Kevin stared at A.J. as she proudly leaned down and gave her baby a gently kiss on the forehead. She held him close to her body as she started walking toward the door where the boys were.
"Who wants to hold him next?" She asked with a smile as Dean nervously eyed Sam. Sam smiled and stepped in front of Dean; taking the baby in his arms. He smiled as he looked down and felt a since of pride roll over him. He looked over his shoulder at Dean and nodded at him,
"Your turn next, Uncle Dean." Dean smirked and rolled his eyes,
"That has a nice ring to it." He said as he wiggled his fingers, suggesting for Sam to hand the baby over. Sam handed the baby over and went and stood by A.J. He looked down at her and put an arm around her shoulders,
"So we can't just call him "The Baby" for much longer. Have you thought of any names?" A.J. looked up at him surprised, she hadn't really thought about it. She brought her finger to her chin as Dean rocked his body back and forth naturally with the baby still in his arms.
She shrugged her shoulders, "I have always loved the name Noah." She smiled and nodded her head 'Yes', "Yes Noah James Winchester." She said as Sam nodded his head in agreement.
"That's a wonderful name." Castiel piped up from the back of the group and walked over to stand next to A.J. he reached his hand out and grasped onto A.J.'s other hand. A.J. felt so content: She had her boyfriend with her, her brothers smiling happily, and she finally had her sweet baby back. What could go wrong?
Dean handed the baby back to A.J. and she proudly accepted him. She started walking out of the room with the baby and headed to her own room with Castiel on her tail. She slowly sat down on her bed and felt Castiel sit next to her. He leaned over and put his head next to hers and stared down at the baby.
"He is a very precious child." Castiel said as A.J. nodded her head in agreement. She looked over into his eyes and laid her forehead on his,
"Thank you for bringing him back to me." She said as she gingerly moved in for a kiss and connected with his lips. He slowly pulled away from the kiss and placed a hand on the side of her face,
"I would do it all over again." He gave her another kiss and then suddenly felt another angel presence in the room.
Castiel immediately stood up in front of A.J. protecting her slightly pulling his angel blade out.
"What do you want?" He asked the other angel as he glared at him intensely.
"You, her, and that are coming with me." The angel said as he pointed at each of them and then they suddenly disappeared from the bunker and were transported into an all-white room.
A.J. frantically looked around holding Noah tight and close to her. "Castiel, where are we?" She asked as Castiel sighed and looked back at her. He placed a gently hand on her should and tried to avoid eye contact with her.
"Alexandria, we are in heaven." She narrowed her eyes at him and crinkled her face.
"Why are we in heaven?" She asked as he sighed even heavier, but couldn't reply.
"Hello, Castiel, Alexandria, It's so nice to see you again." Abdiel stood in front of them with a smile on her face while her hands were folded in front of her.
"Mom, what's going on?" A.J. asked as Abdiel looked over at her noticing the baby in her arms and then back up at Castiel. Abdiel sighed heavily,
"Castiel you didn't fulfil my orders." She said as she waved more angels to stand by her and then she pointed to A.J.
"Seize the child and the girl." A.J. looked over frantically at Castiel as Noah was ripped from her arms once more. Two angels grabbed A.J. and held onto her arms tight and placed two angel blades on both sides of her face. She tried to fight against them, but the blades began to dig in her cheeks causing blood to trickle down her face.
She widened her eyes looking back and forth between Castiel and Abdiel as they stared each other down.
"I told you once, Castiel, and I will not tell you again," Abdiel said as she started walking toward Castiel placing a hand on his shoulder dragging him over to the angel holding the baby. "You will kill that corrupted child or she will die." She said harshly as she pointed back to Alexandria with no emotion putting emphasis on her last three words.
Alexandria's mouth flew open with a gasp at what her mother said and she instantly felt and angel blade fall to her throat; raising her chin up.
Castiel looked back at his Alexandria and sighed with fear as he gripped his angel blade tighter. The two angels holding Alexandria pressed into her skin harder with the blades causing her to shriek out in pain.
"The clock is ticking Castiel." Abdiel said impatiently as she wrapped her arm around Castiel's shoulders. She looked over at him with her icy blue eyes and glared. Castiel closed his eyes and sighed as he peered down at the innocent baby. He quickly looked back at A.J. as fearful tears fell from her eyes and she was shouting at Castiel,
"No, No, No!" frantically. He jerked his head back looking back down at the baby and raised his angel blade high in the air. He heard A.J.'s now frantic screams coming from the back ground as the angel blades scraped her face harder while she was trying to push away from the angels. Abdiel's hand on Castiel's shoulder was starting to get tight as Castiel finally swung the angel blade and plunged it in to a body and a white light enveloped the room and A.J. let out a horrendous scream.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the chapter and the terrible cliff hanger! Who do you think Castiel stabbed?
