Chapter 5
I do not own Supernatural in any way.
A/N- I know it seems like all Castiel and Celeste do is have sex with each other, but that's explained later in this chapter. Also, Gabriel returns and I'm going to love writing the next chapter. Don't forget to answer the bonus questions at the end of the chapter.
Sometimes to win, you've got to sin,
don't mean I'm not a believer.
..and major Tom, will sing along.
Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer.
Angel with a Shotgun by The Cab
Celeste awoke feeling rested, but sad considering Castiel had left her once again. She sighed and got out of bed. She got dressed and went downstairs. She found Gabriel sitting at the kitchen table. "Gabriel!" she yelled. She ran to him and hugged him.
"You didn't seriously think I was going to miss my baby girl's birthday", Gabriel said. He pulled out a small box and handed it to her.
She opened it and found a simple sterling silver cross necklace.
A tear left her eye.
"What's wrong? You don't like it?" Gabriel asked, worried.
She threw her arms around him and started crying.
"Shh", Gabriel said stroking her hair, "What's wrong?"
"Castiel!" she cried, her voice muffled by his chest.
Gabriel took her to her room and set her down. He grabbed her brush and sat behind her. "Now tell me what happened", he said running the brush through her hair.
"He never tells me anything. I feel like he's lying to me", she said.
"Have you asked him about it?" Gabriel asked her.
"No", she said, "He's too busy fighting Raphael in Heaven".
Gabriel froze. He knew he should help Castiel, but he had to look out for his family and Castiel was not family. He wasn't blood like him and Celeste. "Do you like the necklace?" Gabriel asked her.
Celeste nodded her head.
"It was your mother's. The night of your car crash, she prayed to me and Castiel to save you, not her. She had never prayed to me for anything. That's why I was so frantic the next morning at the hospital", Gabriel said. He got up and took it out of the box. He put it around Celeste's neck.
"How come you don't talk about her?" Celeste asked.
"Who?" Gabriel asked her.
"Mom", she said.
"Like you and Castiel, we were soul mates. I once thought about giving up my immortality to be with her and be a true father to you, but I just couldn't. I'm not responsible and inside she knew that. I regret it every day I look at you", Gabriel said sadly.
Celeste stood up and hugged him. "You suck at being a father", she said, making Gabriel smile, "But you were the best friend a girl could ever have".
"Happy birthday Celeste", Gabriel said kissing her head.
The next morning, Gabriel was off on another adventure, leaving Celeste alone once again. She got a call from Dean.
"We got Sam's soul back and we're going to call Cass", Dean said, causing memories of their last night together to flash before Celeste's eyes, "We're at Bobby's".
She got up and got dressed in regular clothes. She put the cross around her neck and looked at herself in the mirror.
With the cross necklace around her neck, she looked like her mother.
She shook the thought from her mind and popped into Bobby's house.
"He's in the basement", Dean said, leading her downstairs. Dean stood with his arms crossed.
Castiel came out of the panic room rolling down his sleeve.
"Well?" Dean asked.
"His soul is in place", Castiel told him.
"Is he ever gonna wake up?" Dean asked.
"I'm not a human doctor, Dean", Castiel snapped.
"Could you take a guess?" Dean asked.
"Okay. Probably not", Castiel said bluntly.
"Oh, well, don't sugarcoat it", Dean snapped.
"I'm sorry, Dean, but I warned you not to put that thing back inside him", Castiel told him.
"What was I supposed to do? Let T-1000 walk around, hope he doesn't open fire?" Dean asked.
"Let me tell you what his soul felt like when I touched it. Like it had been skinned alive, Dean. If you wanted to kill your brother, you should have done it outright", Castiel said. Castiel grabbed Celeste's hand and they appeared in her bedroom. He leaned down and kissed her.
She pushed him back. "Not now", she said stepping back from him, "What aren't you telling me?"
"What?" Castiel asked her.
"You're not telling me something. I can feel it", she said.
Castiel sighed. "I can't tell you", he said.
"Well I tried Gabe", she muttered.
Castiel smiled. "Who gave you that necklace?" Castiel said.
"Gabriel. For my birthday", she said.
Shame filled Castiel's eyes. He disappeared and reappeared with flowers in his hand.
They were beautiful.
"Where are these from?" she asked.
"A remote part of Ireland", he said.
"You remembered", she said shocked. She had always wanted to go to Ireland. She snapped her fingers and the flowers were transformed into metal flowers. "Now I can have them forever", she said. She took them from Castiel and leaned up to kiss him.
The kiss became deeper and Castiel picked Celeste up.
She dropped the flowers as Castiel lowered her onto her bed.
Clothes were shed, except for Celeste's necklace.
Afterwards, Castiel and Celeste lay facing each other.
"Happy birthday", Castiel said, his thumb rubbing circles on Celeste's lower back.
She moved closer to him and kissed him.
Castiel pulled her closer, until their bodies were touching.
"Do you ever wish you were human?" she asked him.
"I used to not think about it", Castiel told her, "But since I met you…"
"Technically neither of us have been human. I've always been half angel and you were close to being human. Would you give it up?" she asked him.
Castiel looked at her and said nothing.
Celeste, heartbroken, rolled over.
Castiel pulled her back and set his hand on her stomach. "If it meant I could have a family with you, then yes", Castiel said.
Tears filling her eyes, Celeste looked back at Castiel.
Castiel kissed her and they continued to celebrate her birthday.
A few days later, Celeste and Castiel emerged from her bed. Celeste and Castiel showered together, amongst other things.
To the outside world, they would have appeared as a newly married couple.
Angelically speaking they were. They had missed out on a whole year of each other.
As Castiel and Celeste were dressing, Castiel stopped and tilted his head.
"Cass, what is it?" she asked.
"It's Sam", he said.
Celeste snapped her fingers and she was dressed.
Castiel took her hand and they appeared in a hotel room. "Sam. It's so good to see you alive", Castiel said.
"Yeah. You too", Sam said, "Celeste".
Castiel walked over to Sam and attempted to hug him, but Sam sat down.
"Um...Look, I-I would hug you, but…" Sam started.
"—that would be awkward", Castiel finished.
"Well I'm not afraid to hug you", Celeste said. She hugged Sam and said, "Soulless you was a jerk".
"Sorry", he said.
She pulled back and Sam caught her hand seeing the promise ring on her finger. She pulled her hand away and went back to stand next to Castiel.
"Um...Was a crazy year, huh? I-I-I just talked to Bobby. He—he told me everything that happened", Sam said.
"Frankly, I'm surprised that you survived. I was begging Dean not to do it", Castiel told him.
"Yeah. No, I-I-I can understand that", Sam said.
"You know, it's a miracle it didn't kill you", Castiel said.
"Yeah. Yeah, it's a miracle, all right", Sam agreed.
"So, how does it feel?" Castiel asked.
"What?" Sam asked, not quite understanding.
"Well, to have your soul back, of course", Castiel said.
"Right. Y-you mean 'cause I was walking around with no soul. Uh... Really good, Cas. I'm real good. You know what? I'm—I'm just hazy on a few of the details, though. Um... You think maybe you could...walk me through?" Sam asked.
Castiel explained everything.
"Thanks", Sam said, "And Celeste…congratulations".
Celeste blushed as her and Castiel disappeared.
"Why did Sam say congratulations?" Castiel asked her.
"He saw my ring", she told him, "I guess I'll see you in a few days?"
Castiel nodded and kissed her. Castiel pulled away and asked, "How old are you now?"
"20", Celeste answered.
Castiel kissed her forehead and disappeared, leaving Celeste incredibly confused.
What do you think should happen during The French Mistake episode?
Do you think Castiel and Celeste should become human? And when?
Should they get married? When should they get married?
