Hello my precious lovelies. Well here is the next chapter I hope you like it. All I can say is I think I have been watching too much of Disney's Cinderella. Though really, can you watch it too much?

Gabriel jumped out of bed at the crack of dawn and went to the kitchen and put some coffee on. While that percolated he grabbed the notepad and pen he had on the side and leaning down tapped it while he thought. His eyes glazed over as options went through his mind, but then he hit upon the perfect answer. With that he started writing two lists. One a menu, the other a shopping list.

Once both were completed and having consumed his coffee he grabbed his jacket and was out the door. He had a farmers market to raid. (Figuratively speaking I hope.)

He returned with four bags filled with raw ingredients and set them out on the side in the order he would use them. Nodding to himself that he had got everything he then checked the time. Seeing it was 10 o'clock in the morning he felt it was perfectly acceptable to now make the calls he needed to, with that in mind he scrolled down his contacts until the first of the three people he was callings name appear and taking a deep breath made the phone dial.

Shiva was relaxing with his morning coffee which Peters, his butler come friend come confidant come all-round right hand man, had brought him. He was back in his New York mansion, having left Kali and Gabriel to it after seeing how well their non-date had gone. And so here he was on a perfect Sunday morning wondering how long he would have to train Gabriel before he could retire. The fact that Gabriel had yet to accept the position was of no consequence, Shiva knew he would take it. He thought it would probably be six months so he could retire in a year. Yes that was a good time frame. Of course he would have to cover Gabriel for the wedding, though maybe he could get Kali and Gabriel married before he retired? (Umm, I think you planning a little too far ahead don't you?) That would be the easiest of things. And then of course when the children came along he would have to help out. (Way too far ahead, they haven't even…you know yet.) Shiva did not think his daughter would be too happy if he left her alone with their new-borns (Plural? Really?). He hoped they wouldn't take too long with the children. I mean neither of them were getting any younger and he couldn't wait to hold his first grandchild in his arms. Hmm, he wondered what names they would choose. What with Gabriel's family all being angels and there's being Hindu gods. Maybe they would find a compromise somewhere. (Okay I know for fact neither of them have even considered that question, recently at least.)

These musings of his, planning his daughter and Gabriel's future, were interrupted by his phone ringing, frowning he wondered who on earth would call him at this time on a Sunday morning.

"Hello Shiva speaking." He said gruffly so that whoever was on the other end would know he was not happy to take this call.

"Morning Shiva." Came the chirpy voice from the other end making Shiva's disposition suddenly become sweetness and light. He could forgive this caller anything. As long as the future he had mapped out happened of course, but no need to mention that just yet. (Probably a good idea.)

"Gabriel. What can I do for you today? Phoning to accept my job offer?" Shiva asked jokingly, though he was hopeful, he also wasn't stupid. He knew that Gabriel would not accept until he had Kali had sorted out their differences and got back together. It was why he had given Gabriel the six months Kali was in the same town to decide.

"No not yet. Umm, I was wondering if you could tell me Kali's favourite wine." Gabriel asked trying for nonchalance down the phone and failing miserably.

"Why?" Shiva asked smirking, not that Gabriel could see it.

"Cos I'm cooking her dinner and I want to know what to serve with it." Gabriel replied with a sigh. He knew he wasn't going to get answers from Shiva without telling him the truth.

"Well that very much depends on what your cooking Gabriel. You know that. What's your menu?" Shiva asked going into business mode. Selecting wines for the meal was just as important as the food after all. They had to complement each other.

So Gabriel told him what he had planned and Shiva had to say he was impressed. The dishes Gabriel was cooking for his daughter where not the run of the mill things you saw in every restaurant, they were creations of his own mind. With that Shiva thought for a moment before speaking.

"I know just the wines. But you wouldn't be able to get them where you are, so I'll courier them down to you." he said decision made. There was no way that Gabriel would stop him now.

"Excuse me? What?" Gabriel asked. Surely he didn't hear right. I mean it was just a home cooked meal. Okay it wasn't just a home cooked meal but still, courier down the wine? Thought thinking about it. This was Shiva they were talking about, it was so totally something he would do. (Very true.) Especially if he was completely on board with the plan. (Which he so is. In fact I believe he is planning on taking it over, just so you're warned.) Which must mean he was happy for Gabriel to get back with Kali (very), which was definitely a plus in Gabriel's books.

"You heard. When do you need them for?" Shiva replied amused at Gabriel's shock. Of course he would help him woe his daughter. It was all part of the plan. (Who's though? That is the question.)

"Tonight?" Gabriel said. Though it came out as a question.

"I'll have them there by five." And with that Shiva hung up already pulling himself out of his chair so he could make his way down to the wine cellar in the basement and find the most perfect wines for Gabriel and Kali's dinner this evening. Yes it was all going to plan, in fact ahead of plan if Gabriel was already cooking for her.

Shiva selected six bottles after much consideration and then called Peters to him.

"Yes sir?" Peters asked, confused at why Shiva was in his dressing gown with six bottles of wine, but he didn't let it show.

"I wish you to courier these to The Bakery so they get there by 5 this evening." Shiva replied with the biggest calculating smile on his face making Peters raise his eyebrow. Not that he would question him, much.

"Very well sir. And the name of recipient?" He asked professionally. He expected it to be Kali. He knew she was there after all. So when Shiva told him the name he was speechless for a moment.

"Gabriel Novak."

"Gabriel!" once he regained the ability to speak Peters then lost his composure for a second. That name was not one he had heard in anything other than wishful thinking in a long time.

"The one and the only." Shiva replied stilling smiling making Peters wonder.

At that he went over to the bottles to inspect them. He noticed they were all Kali's favourites. (Shiva you really are a meddler aren't you?)

"Am I to take it that Mr Novak will be returning to New York soon then?" Peters asked, a small smile on his lips.

"Oh yes Peters. Oh yes."

"Very good sir. I will make these a priority." At that Peters left with a new spring in his step. Gabriel was returning and would make both Kali and Shiva happy. Yes everything was right with the world. (See? Far too much Cinderella.)

Castiel and Dean where wrapped up together in there bed enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning doing nothing but sleeping when Castiel phone started to ring.

"Someone better be dead." Dean muttered as Castiel untangled himself from his partner and answered the phone.

"What." He snapped, he really hadn't wanted to be disturbed.

"Well good morning to you to sunshine." Came his brother's voice down the line making him groan and lie back down.

"What do you want Gabriel?" he asked wearily. He was sleeping damn it.

"I need your help." Gabriel said with complete sincerity and for once not beating around the bush. Thought that could be because he knew just how grumpy little Cassie could be when woken early. (Well, maybe.)

"With what?" Castiel asked cautiously. It was always a good idea to know exactly what you were agreeing to when it came to Gabriel.

"I'm cooking dinner for Kali tonight and I need a taster with an educated palette." Gabriel replied as if it was no big deal. Thought it really was. He wasn't going to all this trouble just to cook her dinner after all. He needed her back in his life. Now. And forever.

"What time?" Castiel asked thinking that he wanted his brother to be as happy as he was with Dean and that he would help in any way possible to get him there. (You are a good brother Cassie.) Plus, he had never really experienced Gabriel's true skill in the kitchen and he was intrigued. (Less good, but completely understandable.)

"Lunch?" Gabriel suggested, going over times in his head. He had brought enough to do a practice run, he just needed his guinea pig, or pigs he corrected as Castiel replied.

"Very well Gabriel. We will be there at 1." and with that Castiel hung up turning to Dean.

"Where are we being at 1?" Dean asked looking at him sleepily.

"Gabriel's, he's cooking for Kali this evening." Castiel replied snuggling up next to the man he loved who was still half asleep.

"Why doesn't he just take her out like normal people?" Dean asked mumbling into the pillow.

"Well firstly we are talking about Gabriel and secondly I imagine that when you are the best chef in the area it's easier just to cook." Castiel replied quickly. He did not want to be discussing his brother right at this moment. He was awake and he had other things on his mind. Or more truthfully other things he wanted to do. (Naughty boy.)

"Okay, well I'm going back to sleep now." Dean said shifting to get comfortable and completely missing Castiel's thoughts for their morning activities.

"Really?" Castiel asked in him deep gravelly voice with a raised eye. "And there I was thinking of all the other things we could do in bed for the next few hours." He continued whispering into Dean ear as he slowly started to press kisses down his lovers neck.

At that Dean opened his eyes again and grinned, he turned and pulled Castiel into a deep and passionate kiss. Yes that was definitely a better way to spend a Sunday morning than sleeping. (You two are terrible you know that right?)

Charlie was tapping away at her computer, doing her other job of running her dating site when Gabriel called.

"Yes Gabriel what do you want?" she asked distractedly.

"A favour." Gabriel replied in his charming voice that she knew just spelt trouble to all who heard it.

And as such her reply was a definite "No."

"You get to decorate." Gabriel persuaded making her stop typing. She did love to decorate.

"I'm listening." She said leaning back in her throne to hear what Gabriel had to say.

"Be at mine at 1 and I'll tell you all about." And for the first time that morning Gabriel hung up the phone and ended the conversation, leaving Charlie just shaking her head and turning back to her computer. Though she knew that she would have to work extra hard now. She had somewhere to be at 1. (Oh Gabriel my love. You do go overboard on occasion don't you? And by on occasion I get the feeling I mean always.)
