Three days later, the kids were teens now, approximately 16. Their birthday wish was to have separate rooms, so Aziza conjured another bedroom- as well as a new bathroom- upstairs and the kids had a race to see who'd be moving into the new space. Dashiel won, but his sister helped him move his half of the room to his new one. Starting tomorrow, they were going to have daily lore classes with Cas and their mother while the Winchester boys were still keeping an eye out for their runaway Witch.

Today's lesson was on the alluring Siren and how to kill one. Cas efficiently drew what one looked like in its true form on the chalkboard and both kids came up to trace it into their own journals. They asked one question: could either of them be put under a Siren's spell and Castiel said that they could not, but that it was possible for them, including Aziza, to use their own voices to put Humans under a spell; a younger Aziza proved many times that her voice had an effect on Humans. The children scribbled down that tidbit of lore and were excited to see the bronze dagger that could slay a Siren, but Aziza's phone began chiming to signal that class was over for the day.
"Mom, can we roast marshmallows tonight?" Zoka excitedly asked before she left.
"Of course. If you want, we can sleep outside too."
"We can sleep under the stars?" She asked in awe, earning a giggle from her mother.
"Yeah, baby. It's part of camping. Your father and uncles love it when we go camping."
"I'm gonna go get the firepit ready!" Zoka chimed before skipping out of the living room.
Aziza and Cas wiped down the chalkboard and rolled it back into the closet until tomorrow's lesson. She went into the kitchen and found two bags of marshmallows, one of them being stuffed with a chocolate filling. Word must have spread around the house about their mini camping episode because when Aziza went out into the backyard, she saw Sam teaching the twins how to pitch their tents while a nice fire was roasting away. Dean and Cas came out with sleeping bags for everyone and they all gathered around the firepit as Aziza passed out roasting sticks for their marshmallows.
Dashiel was sitting next to Castiel, who was shoulder to shoulder with Dean, and trying to get a preview of tomorrow's lesson from the Angel, but Cas wanted to keep it a surprise. Next to Dean was Sam and Zoka, then Aziza. The bags of marshmallows had been passed back and forth down the line of six and everyone was roasting their snacks now.
"Mom, do you think Dash and I will fall in love with a Human like you did with Dad?" Zoka suddenly questioned and her words made Sam's ears twitch in interest as Aziza turned to her daughter with a surprised, yet happy expression.
"I don't know, Zoka. Maybe you will or maybe, there's an Angel somewhere in Heaven waiting to meet you." She honestly told her daughter. "I'm guessing someone liked the Story of the Soulmate."
"Liked it? I read it every night before bed. It's amazing!" Zoka praised before taking her marshmallow out of the fire and blowing out the small flame on the stick, stuffing the pole in her mouth.
Dashiel leaned forward and waved to get his father's attention. "When can we go visit Grandpa Gabe in Heaven?"
"Whenever you want. We just have to call him and plan something. It's about time you guys saw where half your family comes from anyway."
"Are there more Seraphim in Heaven?" Dash questioned his Mom, but she shook her head.
"She's exclusively exclusive, the only one in existence." Everyone turned to face Gabriel, who appeared on the other side of the firepit. His eyes seemed to be dimly glowing with the campfire as he smiled at his family. "You guys can come visit us upstairs this weekend. The Angels are gonna flip when they see you."
