Sweet child of mine chapter 6

Disclaimer I do not own supernatural if I did it would never be on a break… I do not wish to offend with this story it is just for my own amusement. All mistakes are my own and there may be many because of the computer demons I am having problems with at the moment… I may have to try holy water.

Author's notes this chapter will have a lot of present day Cas in it and we will learn how he comes to terms with what lies in store for him in the future.

Castiel heard Deans car pull up outside the room but he was slow to open his eyes. He tried to rid himself of the dream that had brought back all the pain he had felt when Dean had died…

"Hi honey I'm home." Dean said as he walked through the door. Castiel was about to open his eyes when he heard something that almost stopped his heart.

"Oh hey Cas I'm glad you came back…Have you come to hear the rest of the story?" Oh god no Castiel silently cursed himself, how didn't he sense he was here?

"I think I know all I need to know already." He said as he left the room. He knew he shouldn't have invaded his future self's dream but he knew everything now and he would make sure he was ready.

"Castiel!" The future angel called after himself as he ran through the door Dean had left open.

"Please come back I need to explain…" He shouted but the other angel had already made his escape. Cas knew he could find him if he searched hard enough, but he didn't see much point in going after him. The other angel had seen everything and he knew the damage had been done. It was hopeless and he could kiss goodbye to the future and his son. So he did the only thing he could do he walked back into the motel room and picked the small sleeping infant up from the bed and just cradled him in his arms as he wept for everything he was about to lose.

Castiel had flown around for a while until he had made sure he wasn't being followed by the other version of himself making sure he left trails here and there to confuse the other angel if he chose to follow him. He needed time alone, time to think about what he had just seen. He just didn't understand any of it and if he had just stayed away from the motel, if he had stayed out of the future angels head he wouldn't be here sat alone and confused on some random park bench.

He had known all along that some of the other angels resented him he just put that down to the fact that their father had resurrected him again. But for them to want him to fall, to make him the next Lucifer he just didn't want to believe it and if he let it happen he knew there would be no going back.

"Father please help me I have always done everything you asked of me…Please just show me the way, I do not wish to fall or fail you father please?" Castiel begged it had been along time since he had last asked his father for his guidance or help. The last time had been during the last battle when he had begged his father to save him at the moment of his death so he could help Dean and Bobby.

"Please." He knew he would not get an answer he hadn't since that day but he felt so confused and alone and he needed guidance.

"Brother" A voice said from behind him and Castiel was instantly up on his feet and ready to fight.

"Raphael" Castiel said as he looked at the brother he had last seen when he had left him in the ring of holy fire; the day he swore he would seek vengeance on Castiel. Castiel did not hold out much hope that he could escape this time he was no match for Raphael if he ran he would be easily found and if they fought he knew he would lose but he would try Dean and Sam needed him.

"I am not here to fight you Brother." Raphael said as he took a seat on the bench that Cas had just vacated.

"Why are you here then brother?" Castiel said almost spitting the word brother out at him. He did not trust Raphael he may be naive but he was far from stupid.

"You called for help and I am here to give it to you." Castiel found that hard to believe he no longer trusted his family and he certainly did not trust him.

"I know you do not believe me little brother and I do not blame you but I really mean you no harm. I was angry when you trapped me I thought what I was doing was the right thing. With our father gone it was up to Michael and I to stop Lucifer and you got in the way but now I am glad you did. Samuel Winchester ended it without ending humanity he showed that he was stronger then Lucifer and Michael. You had faith I wish I had the same little brother." Raphael said with a deep sigh and Castiel wanted to believe him but the angels where out to get him they wanted him to fall and he was certain Raphael was in on the plan, he could not be fooled now Dean needed him.

"Raphael what ever you are here to do just do it I do not have time for any of your games." Castiel was resigned to the fact he was about to die he just hoped he could call out to the other him before he died. He needed future Cas to protect Dean.

"I told you Castiel I am here to help you and help you and I will even if you do not want it. And we need to go NOW they are watching and we do not want them to know that we know their plan. Are you ready little brother?" He asked a confused looking Cas.

"Where are we going?" Castiel asked him, he was not sure he wanted to go anywhere with the other angel but what choice did he have Raphael could just take him against his will if he was inclined to.

"To retrieve the only person that can answer all your questions… We are going to rescue Samuel Winchester." Castiel just looked at him his jaw hanging open as Raphael stood and took hold of his shoulder and the park shimmered in front of Cas's eyes and when it stopped they where now stood outside an old factory.

"Samuel is in there?" Cas asked the other angel his vision still swimming. Now he knew why Dean complained so much when he had done the same thing to him. Luckily for Dean he was nowhere near as powerful as Raphael.

"Yes and he is under heavy guard are you ready for a fight brother?" Castiel wanted to get in there so badly and he was more then ready to fight for Sam but he refused to go in there blind. He needed to know just what he was up against. And he still did not completely believe that his brother was not leading him into a trap.

"I am ready to fight for Samuel but I need to know what we are up against." Raphael did not blame him, he knew that the other angel still did not trust him and thought it was a trap. But there was no way he would go in there and let anything happen to his brother or the Winchester boy. They where two of the strongest being's on his side and he needed them and Dean to stop what was to come.

"They are angels…There are ten of them in there and they will be waiting for you brother but they will not be expecting me. I promise you Castiel you and the Winchester boy will make it out of there unharmed… Or I will die trying." Castiel only had to look at the angel to know that it was the truth.

"Do you have your sword?"

"I am ready." Castiel told him as he removed his sword from his trench coat and prepared to move into the building but Raphael pulled him back to him.

"We go in together you go straight for Samuel and when you have released him get him out of here and to his brother."

"But what about you?" Castiel asked his brother.

"You just go and I will smite those that have chosen to betray us. There will be no body left to follow you brother of this I promise you. And when I am finished with my task I will wait to see that it is safe and I will find you." Castiel just nodded as they both arose and walked to the building that held Sam.

As they got to the door Raphael used his power and the door blew open sending splinters and glass flying into the dirty room taking all the angels inside by surprise. They had expected Castiel and Dean to come here to rescue their brother's murder, but they had not thought the angel would be dumb enough to use the front door.

"Hello brother we have been expecting you." Tabbris said as Castiel walked into the room. "Come to save the abomination that killed our brother?"

"Yes we have brother and we have come to smite all that have gone against our fathers wishes. This boy is important to our father as is his brother and Castiel and I will not allow any of you to cause harm to any of them." Tabbris that had clearly not seen Raphael enter looked afraid as did all the other angels that where standing guard over Sam.

"Our father is gone Raphael you know that better then anyone. He shares revelation with no angel now so you cannot claim to know of his plans." He said with a smirk that any demon would be proud of.

"That is where you are wrong brother and he sent me here to smite you all starting with you." Raphael said as he let loose a great ball of energy that hit Tabbris before he even had chance to defend himself.

"Now Castiel!" The other angel shouted at him as he made his way through the angels letting out bursts of bright white power that looked like lightening and slicing at others with his sword.

Castiel set off running with his sword brandished slicing through the few angels that stood between him and Sam. And when he reached the youngest Winchester he was relived to see him unharmed.

"Castiel am I glad to see you." Sam said with a great big goofy grin that Dean would have teased him about.. But Sam didn't care.

"And I am glad to see you Sam." Castiel told him returning his smile with a small genuine one of his own. He now had to figure out how to get Sam out of the ring of holy fire.

"Go now brother before more come!" Raphael said as he made it rain over the ring of holy fire putting out the flames. As soon as the flames where down enough Cas grabbed Sam an pulled him out taking them both to safety and leaving Raphael behind to smite the rest of the rebelling angels.

Dean didn't know what to do he had been trapped in this room with the weeping angel for the past two hours and baby Sam had been crying for almost as long , Cas was in no fit state to help the little guy. Dean had fed burped and changed the baby but he just would not settle and Dean was reaching the end of his patients.

"He likes it when you sing eye of the tiger to him and dance with him." Cas said between his sobs and Dean was impressed he expected the angel to sing the child hymns not survivor.

"Wow Cas I never thought I would see you with a kid let alone singing rock songs to him." Dean said with a smile and beginning to sing to the wailing infant.

"He does not like me singing it to him he only likes it when you do it." And he did as Dean sang the child quietened in his arms and let out a big yawn snuggled closer to the young hunter and finally slept.

"Wow I guess I have still got it." Dean said as he placed a light kiss on the little boys head and gently lay him down on the bed causing the still weeping angel to sob harder and Dean just couldn't take it any longer.

"What is it Cas.. You know you can tell me anything don't you?" Dean said as he sat on the bed next to the angel and wrapped an arm around the now tear soaked angel. He felt Cas flinch and pull away as he held him but Dean just pulled back harder and held him just that little bit tighter. After a few moments Castiel settled into the hug and place his head in the crook of deans neck and cried.

"Its all over Dean there is no chance for baby Sam and I." Dean couldn't believe how defeated the angel sounded and it almost broke his heart.

"Of course there is Cas I'm here and I wont let anything happen to you or the little munchkin you know that and neither will Sam when we get him back."

"I know you and Sam would Dean. But now Castiel knows everything and he is mad and scared he saw everything when I was sleeping and did not give me a chance to explain. What if he doesn't return? we wont be able to rescue Sam and without Sam there will be no baby Samuel…" Dean was getting a very bad feeling about this and there was a question he was now going to have to ask the angel and he was not sure he wanted to know the answer.

"Cas is Sam…." Oh god he could not do this. "Is Sam the baby's…." Shit what did he call him. "Is he the baby's other father?" God he never thought he would get that out. He couldn't believe he had asked it at all and there were so many reasons why what he said couldn't be true. Number one Sam and Cas were both guys even though Dean liked to tease Sam and say that he was a girl. Number two Sam was straight . And number three Cas was his angel not Sam's. God when had he got so possessive over the angel.

"No Dean he is not." Dean let out a breath he didn't even know he had been holding.

"Don't worry Cas the other you will be back and we will save Sammy and everything will be ok I promise." He said as he held the angel tighter and placed his head on top of his and took in the angels heavenly smell. The sound of a throat being cleared made them both jump.

"Are we interrupting something? If we are we can come back later" Dean knew that voice he would have know it anywhere.

"Sammy?"

Well that's it for this chapter and it was harder to write then I thought stupid writers block. I hope it does not disappoint to many of you. I promise the next chapter will be better.
