Chapter 18

A/N: There's slight Balcifer in here as well, I peg it more as an old flame and that when Lucifer was cast down they never saw each other that way ever again It still hurts for Balthazar though that the angel he loved is proclaimed "evil" (that's just my head cannon guys)

"Our love is like water pinned down and abused for being strange." – Live (All Over You)

"What," Dean asked. "Oh this, you all like it?"

"Dean…" Cas bowed his head before looking back up at the hunter.

"Cas I don't know how this happened but," Dean laughed and smiled. "I feel like a badass!"

"Cas," Balthazar sputtered from the ground, still gripping his injury and struggling to get up. "What did you do?!"

"I merely…" Cas gulped, he honestly really didn't know what he'd done if anything.

"Castiel," Gabriel said. "This is serious…"

Sam stared in awe at his brother. He had seen nothing like it before. Sure he'd seen angels before, but he didn't picture Dean as holy or angelic. If anything he'd be the devil's cabana boy.

"I heard that Sammy." Dean shot him a bitch face.

"How…" Sam asked but then stopped himself. "You really are an angel…aren't you?"

"Really Sammy," Dean replied sarcastically. "What gave it away, the wings or the angelic healing powers?"

He then reached down to Balthazar and healed his wound with a touch of his palm. The elder angel stood up and sized up Dean. He stared at the wings Dean obviously didn't know how to retract and how white they were. He remembered his own wings before the fall, how grey they were and now they were just black. Dean's reminded him of the good times, the times before the hatred seed had been planted in heaven. He grunted with disapproval and stared the hunter, now turned angel, straight in the eyes.

"Well you're dead meat," he said. "As if you weren't already…"

"Well thanks for the kind words of encouragement." Dean scoffed.

"Well look here," Balthazar almost growled. "Someone's been picking up the habit of sarcasm."

"Somebody separate them before they kill each other…" Gabriel sighed, pushing air through his cheeks. "Balthazar go fetch our children, I'm sure it's safe for them to come back now, we'll deal with what has happened to Dean later."

Balthazar gave what Dean would call "Sam's bitch face number 12" and flew away, he returned moments later with three little children. He handed the two twin boys off to Gabriel and Sam and placed he little girl in Dean's careful arms.

"Hello princess," Dean smiled as he looked down at her; he ruffled her hair and smoothed the bangs she had away from her eyes. "You look hungry, where's Cas?"

Cas stepped forward, still leery of being near Dean considering the unthinkable had just happened. He took one look at his little girl though and all those feelings faded away into nothing. He smiled big, something he'd never done before. He didn't know why this little creature made him smile so but she did. He placed a careful hand on her cheek and cupped it before placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Welcome Hollyander Winchester." He said.

Hollyander cocked her head like Cas so often did at the sight of the angel before her. She reached out and touched some of Cas' stubble that ran across his chin and cheeks then her own face.

"That's right baby," Dean said. "He's your Papa."

Hollyander then smiled big and giggled and touched Cas' face again. She seemed to know that he was related to her in some way and she reached her arms towards him. Cas, who was still shocked from Dean's words about him being her "Papa" took his little girl in his arms and smiled down at her as she yawned but continued to giggle.

"They got your eyes Gabe." Sam smiled as he held Dally in his arms, gently swaying him back and forth; Dally sucked his thumb and looked up at his father.

"And your good looks," Gabriel smirked and rocked Marcus carefully smiling down at him. "Hello precious, mama's here I've got you."

Marcus smiled tiredly up in glee. He shifted so he was on his tummy before crawling up towards Gabriel's neck and wrapped his little arms around it. He sighed in content and nuzzled into Gabriel's neck.

"Mama." Marcus managed to say before closing his eyes.

"T-they talk?" Sam asked a little shocked.

"They talk right away," Gabriel nodded, rubbing Marcus' back to show he heard him. "It's part of the whole "oh let's breed with humans to create faster warriors and offspring" thing."

"Daddy?" Sam heard the little voice of Dally in his arms who was repeating Marcus' actions.

"Yes sweetie," Sam replied to his son. "I'm here."

SPN – SPN – SPN – SPN – SPN – SPN

The boys had all retired to their motel room to rest after; the demon's bodies had been easier to dispose of than expected so they cleaned up the outside and quickly retreated back inside. The babies were attached to Gabriel and Cas' wings like a leech on a leg. Sam and Dean sat on the couch as Balthazar paced slightly, looking out the window every once in awhile. He'd look over at the children and sigh. He longed to hold just one of them.

"You wanna hold Hollyander?" Cas asked him, sensing what he felt.

Balthazar seemed sort of shocked as if he expected Dean to protest calling him an "old pervert" and asking him to stay away from her, but he said nothing, not even in his thoughts. Balthazar inched forward and took Hollyander in his arms; he rocked her slightly trying to calm her cries from being taken away from her food source.

"There there," he cooed at her, his gaze never breaking hers. "It's ok squirt."

She seemed to like the nickname as when he said it she stopped crying.

"You like that eh?" he chuckled and rubbed her back, she gripped his sport coat with her little hands and her long hair fell into her eyes again. She didn't care though; she just looked the older angel in the eyes.

"Unca Balthy." She pointed to him and her little finger traced his cheek.

"That's right," He nodded with a genuine smile. "Uncle Balthy."

Dean smiled at the sight before him. Balthazar was actually smiling; something Dean had never seen him do.

Suddenly though their peace and quiet was interrupted when the door swung open and a rush of air came flying in. Gabriel jumped, his wings came out to protect his babies, another throaty growl echoed through the air from his mouth. Sam jumped up from the couch, his knife in his hand as well as Dean. Balthazar clutched Hollyander close.

Cas though, he looked scared. His mouth hung slightly ajar. Dean watched as suddenly his wings were forced out and an iron contraption resembling handcuffs was put upon them, his face turned to one of pain. Similar objects were placed on his ankles and wrists.

"What the holy hell," Dean exclaimed at Zachariah who stood before him with two other angels beside him, Uriel and one unknown. "You son of a bitch!"

"You're one to talk Dean Winchester, you and Castiel must come with us," Zachariah instructed as Uriel and the other angel suddenly were restraining a thrashing Dean with their hands. "Castiel you have committed a crime against the angel code and must come to heaven for your trial, come with us."

Dean's mouth hung open ajar in shock. Cas' expression turned from one of scared to sad and his wings physically drooped in defeat. Zachariah held onto Cas and nodded to his fellow angels before taking off with them.

All Dean remembered before the blackout was a bright shining light.
