5) What you have done

Every fiber of her screamed no to the boy's request, but she knew he wasn't going to let up till he got what he wanted. Just like his dad. "I thought I told you to stay upstairs", she said, coldly.

"I know, but isn't this about me? Isn't that why Mr. Castiel's here?"

"Actually, my name's just Castiel", interrupted the angel. "Just Castiel. No mister included".

The boy nodded and turned back to Sophie. "I was flipping through the reverend's books and there was an angel named Castiel on one of them". Turning back to Castiel, he asked, "Is that you? Are you an angel?"

Behind him, Sophie looked at the angel, her eyes wide with something that imitated fear, but wasn't fear itself. Her real fear is losing him, the angel thought. "Yes", he answered. "Wyatt, we need your help".

He climbed onto Sophie's lap and let her wrap her arms around him. "Who's 'we'? And what do you need my help for?"

"I suppose you know Sam and Dean Winchester?"

Wyatt grinned at him and nodded. "Yep, they're my uncles! They were here for dinner!"

Castiel looked at Sophie, his eyebrow raised in a perfect arch. Sheepishly, she smiled back at him and shrugged, offering no explanation to Wyatt's claim. Turning back to Wyatt, he said, "Well, you're, uh…uncles, need help hunting a certain demon".

"Is it Alistair?"

The angel shook his head. "He's history. No, it's a different one this time".

"That's what Mommy said, too".

"Alright, wise guy, that's enough", Sophie said as she patted his leg. In turn, Wyatt looked up at her and smiled. Castiel couldn't help but smile, too. No wonder she treats him as her own, he thought. "So what'll happen if I help Uncle Dean and Uncle Sam?" asked Wyatt.

He really believes they are his real uncles. "You'll have to leave home for a while to go with them".

He could see Sophie wrapping her arms tighter around the boy's waist. She won't let go. "Mommy, it's gonna be okay", Wyatt whispered. Turning back to Castiel, he said, "If I leave, will you promise me something?"

Castiel cocked his head to one side, and squinted at the boy. "And what would that be?"

"Stay and take care of my mommy".

Quickly, her grip loosened as she craned her neck to look Wyatt full in the face. "You do know I don't need a babysitter, right?"

"Sorry, that's my condition", he replied smugly.

"You're six; do you even know what you're talking about?"

Castiel suppressed a chuckle as he watched them. He certainly knows how to get what he wants. "If that means you'll go, then I'll stay till you come back".

"Well, I guess that's it, then", said Wyatt, hopping off Sophie's lap. "I'll go pack up now".

Once he left, Sophie looked at Castiel with horrified amusement on her face. "Do you realize what you've done here?"

The angel nodded. "I've convinced him in going. Is there anything else?"

"You're gonna be stuck here with me!" she yelled, storming off to the kitchen.

Humans, he thought, are quite odd.

Reviews would be widely appreciated....
