Cas and Dean stood in the kitchen watching JoyAnna demolish what was once a strawberry ice cream sundae. Her little round face had ice cream and bits of strawberry syrup all over it. Jack, sitting right beside her, smiled.
"She really enjoys these things."
Dean winced as he watched the syrup and ice cream fall all of her little navy blue sundress.
"Yeah, no DNA test needed to show who her father is."
Jack chuckled.
"Definitely not."
JoyAnna stopped her eating to look at Jack with a calculating expression before holing out her spoon to her cousin.
"Bite, Jack Jack?"
Jack's face swelled with pride as it always did when JoyAnna called him Jack Jack. If it were anyone but her, he wouldn't like being called that. From Joy, however, she could call him anything and Jack would be okay with it.
"Nah, go ahead."
Jack said softly. JoyAnna shrugged and went back to cramming ice cream in her mouth.
"Uh, Dean?"
Dean turned hearing Sam's voice coming from behind him. He turned seeing his brother in the doorway looking extremely concerned about something. Sam motioned to the next room with his head. Dean walked into the room, with Cas on his heels, to see none other then Chuck and Amara.
Amara stood with a smile on her face.
"Hello, Dean!"
She said cheerfully. Dean muttered a quiet hello as Chuck grinned his nervous smile.
"Thought we would come for a visit. Haven't checked in for a bit."
Dean chuckled realizing the mess that was about to happen. Chuck had no idea about Gabriel being back. There was also the fact that Gabriel bonded with a nephilim or the fact that Chuck now had nephilim grandchildren.
"You came at a good time."
Dean said hoping that Chuck would get the hint of foreshadowing in his voice. Chuck either didn't notice it or chose to ignore it as he looked around the bunker.
"Really? Awesome! Been doing some hunting have you?"
Chuck's obliviousness made Dean internally shake his head. His mouth dropped the moment that he saw JoyAnna toddle into the room. Jack stood in the door way with a wash cloth in his hand. JoyAnna looked back at her cousin with a little smirk. She hated someone washing her face! Joy was nice enough to let Jack was a few places before he gave up and used his grace before she took off for the opposite room.
Now here she stood seeing people that she didn't know. Dean was quietly motioning her forward with his finger but she wasn't about to go to him. She was too curious with the man and lady that she had never seen before.
The lady who was sitting elegantly on the couch noticed JoyAnna right away. Her mouth dropped as she looked at the toddler. Joy watched her for a moment as she looked between the man and her with wide eyes.
Chuck meanwhile, clearly noticed nothing out of the ordinary until something pinched his calf. He jumped before looking down to see Joy gazing up at him.
"Boo!"
She squealed cheerfully. Chuck was silent for a moment before reminding Dean of a 1950's housewife seeing a mouse.
"WHAT IS THAT?!"
"Well Chuck, she is more commonly as a baby. Gabriel's baby if you want the truth."
Chuck blinked. This was clearly not the visit that he was expecting.
""I know what a baby is, Dean. I...wait, did you say Gabriel's baby? He's here and alive? GABRIEL! GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW!"
Dean slightly chucked. If the situation wasn't so serious it would be a lot more amusing. The expression on Chuck's face alone made Dean think that an Apocalypse might be happening soon.
JoyAnna meanwhile, sat down beside Chuck's foot and started untying his shoes.
"Daddy taking nap."
She said cheerfully. Chuck looked down at her with a beyond nervous expression on his face.
"She's Gabriel's child? She hasn't pranked anyone to death has she?"
Dean rolled his eyes.
"No, Chuck. She's only one. Granted she is smarter than most people I know; she doesn't know how to use her grace yet. She's too busy untying people's shoes and being happy."
Chuck looked back down at his granddaughter with wide eyes.
"I don't know about this."
Dean narrowed his eyes on Chuck.
"Well she's here and we all love her. That's all you really need to know. I guarantee you my conversation will be a lot nicer than what you son is going to say."
Amara meanwhile, quickly stood making her way to her little brother.
"Calm yourself, Chuck. She is lovely!"
Amara elegantly leaned down and scooped up JoyAnna.
"Yes, you are lovely! There is no mistaking who your father is little one! I see Gabriel's eyes and his sense of humor is forming. That can be concerning but for now all I see if happiness."
Amara snapped her fingers making a new stuffed animal appear. Joy's mouth made a perfect "O" as Amara handed her the toy.
"Come sit with your aunty."
Cas quickly stood and walked to the couch sitting down beside Amara. He knew that she was well aware that he did this so he could keep an eye on her. Cas didn't give a damn either. He wanted Amara to be well aware of the fact that this child was well guarded.
Chuck still looking ill, turned to Dean.
"Where is my son?"
Dean motioned to the bedroom where Gabriel and Molly were.
"I'll just go get him."
Dean was more than excited to go get Gabriel. Even though that he and Gabriel had forged some sort of a weird friendship they still liked to find ways to make "digs" at each other.
"That would be lovely."
Chuck said. He turned his back to Dean to watch Amara play with the baby.
"Aw Chuck look! She likes me!"
Amara half chuckled. The situation would have been amusing had everything not been a disaster in Chuck's mind. He was missing a good chance about Amara acting totally out of character.
"Oh myself!"
Chuck muttered wondering what other secrets were hiding in this bunker?
Dean meanwhile, stood outside of Molly and Gabriel's door before politely knocking.
"Gabriel, this is important."
A moment or two later the door opened. Gabriel stood before him fully dressed. Dean silently thanked him for that minimal detail as well. Since Molly and Gabriel got together, Dean had seen more of the archangel than he had ever wanted to in his life!
"What is it Dean? We were in the middle of something."
Dean nodded, holding up a hand.
"Yes and for that I am sorry but we got a bigger problem. Chuck is here."
Gabriel's face went from mildly annoyed to straight livid.
"What?"
He questioned coldly. Dean nodded.
"Yeah, you heard right. He knows about JoyAnna. Before you ask she is okay. Cas is keeping an eye on her. Chuck wants to see you. I'll just uh...let you get decent."
Dean retreated. The only thing that he felt bad about was leaving Molly to deal with a pissed off archangel.
Molly meanwhile, sat up in bed with only the sheet covering her nude body. She heard everything that Dean had said to Gabriel and she had no clue what to say. Chuck was a subject that Gabriel didn't talk to eagerly about. In fact any time that Molly had suggested that he talk to her about his feelings on his father it resulted in Gabriel losing his temper. Molly had decided that it would be best to not bring the subject up again. Just like whatever happened with Asmodeus; whatever happened with Chuck would remain a secret locked up inside of Gabriel.
Carefully getting out of bed, Molly redressed herself and edged closer to Gabriel.
"Gabe, darling..."
He stood looking stagnantly at the floor. He was clearly processing whatever happened in his past plus the knowledge that Chuck knew about their daughter.
"Molly, before you start just stop."
Molly clamped her mouth shut. She stood looking at Gabriel with worried eyes. The archangel groaned. Maybe letting her ask her questions would have been easier than looking at her worried face. Gabriel's facial expression softened.
"Come on. Let's go get this over with."
Gabriel felt bad for the ice in his tone. He reached down gently squeezing Molly's hand hope that he could give her some kind of warmth that way. Molly's hand tightened on his and she made him stop walking for a minute. Gabriel looked down at her with a questioning expression before Molly pushed him against the wall.
"Sugar, what are you..."
Before Gabriel could finish his sentence Molly stood on her tip toes and pressed her lips to his. Gabriel seemed surprised at first but quickly gave into the temptation and began to kiss back. Molly reached down grabbing a hold of his hands and placing them on her breasts. Gabriel broke the kiss and looked down at her with her lust filled eyes.
"What's this?"
Molly continued to nibble on his bottom lip for a moment.
"Incentive to not lose your cool in there?"
She suggested feebly. Gabriel chuckled.
"You think letting me feel your tits is going to stop me from wanting to murder someone? May need more incentive than that. Don't get me wrong your tits are amazing but..."
Molly stopped Gabriel dead in his tracks when Molly started palming him through his jeans.
"Oh hell! Okay sugar I will be good!"
Molly chucked.
"I guess instead of all of that I could have just said be good because our daughter is in there."
Gabriel groaned. Whatever beginnings of an erection he had plummeted immediately.
"Ugh don't use that sweet child against me like that."
Molly smiled and fixed her sweater as Gabriel tried to adjust his pants. Walking in to face his father, who he hadn't seen millions of years, with a ragging hard on was less than desirable!
Chuck turned the moment that Gabriel walked in. He was about to start in on his youngest son on his leaving heaven, fathering a nephilim child, and whatever else he's had done but froze the moment his eyes landed on the woman at Gabriel's side. His mouth dropped as he started pointing at Molly with wide eyes.
"She's a nephilim! Who is she?"
Gabriel glanced over his shoulder at the faint look of disdain on Molly's face. He looked back to his father frowning coldly.
"Yeah, she is. Thanks for stating the obvious. Her name is Molly and she's mine."
Chuck looked be tween Gabriel and Molly clearly confused.
"You bonded with a nephilim?"
Gabriel raised an eyebrow.
"Stop calling her that would you?! For fucks sake! Yes, I bonded with her! You created the bond. I'm doing what I had to. I am just doing what you said."
Chuck tilted his head ignoring the slight uncomfortable expression on Molly's face. His hostility toward her plummeted the moment that she thought,
"He is only with me because he has to be?"
Chuck continued to watch Molly as she moved to walk across the room beside Dean. Gabriel turned around and looked at her curiously before shrugging and facing Chuck.
"You have never done what I said. Why should you start now? Furthermore, whatever you have planned in that head of yours...let it go. You have more important things here."
Gabriel's frown intensified as he glared coldly at his father for a moment longer.
"You don't know anything."
Chuck sighed.
"I see it all. Everything that happened. Everything that you suffered with. If you don't listen to anything else I say that is fine but please listen to this...let it go!"
Gabriel rolled his eyes,
"Dad, I am not Elsa and this is sure as hell no Disney movie. Suck it up!"
Chuck blinked and was silent for a moment. He glanced back at Molly whose face had a deep expression of betrayal then to Joy. The toddler had stopped playing with her toy and looked at her father curiously.
"I brought you into existence I can take you out!"
Gabriel snorted.
"Before you take me out, you need to go visit your other sons first. Michael is in another dimension causing people grief. Lucifer is running around like a crazy person. Eh, that is not really odd. Raphael, uh well he isn't bothering anyone you can leave him alone. He's all about his margaritas and Jimmy Buffet. You won't get much out of him. At least he makes me laugh from time to time. Just go harass Michael and Lucifer. You're not moving? There's the door. You know how to use it."
Amara sat up straighter gazing between her nephew and brother.
"Methinks there is a rift between the two of you."
Gabriel turned keeping a watchful eye on Joy.
"Yeah, you could say that
Whether it be his temper had blocked realization that Amara was there or Gabriel was just seeing her for the first time, that all familiar sense of rage came flying back in.
"Really? Dad! Are you kidding me? You two are pals now? Molly, why is she holding our child?"
When Molly didn't respond Gabriel turned to face her only to see that expression that she wore so well. She was angry at him.
"What the fuck did I do now?"
He hissed at her. Molly didn't make a move to answer or look at him. Amara stood and elegantly walked across the room placing JoyAnna in her mother's arms.
"Lovely to meet you, dear. You can go."
Molly looked at Amara curiously before nodding.
"Thank you."
Gabriel frowned feeling extremely hollow and empty as Molly walked from the room.
"What did you do?"
He hissed angrily at his aunt. Amara shrugged.
"I broke your bond. Now you don't have to be stuck with anyone. Go be free and do whatever you have planned. Pick your destiny."
Amara vanished without another word. Chuck stood frowning at his son. Disappointment was clearly evident in Chuck's eyes. Chuck stood a moment longer before disappearing as well. It was time again to let his baby stand on his own two feet.
