I looked up from where I was meditating in the field. Cas was standing right in front of me.

"hey" he said smiling.

"hey" I said uncrossing my legs and laying down. He layed down beside me in the grass and we both gazed up at the sky. At home. "you miss it?"

"miss what?"

"home"

"o. right. Yeah sorta."

"what does that mean"I turned my head to find he was staring at me.

"I miss it but If I left earth I think I would miss mary and jon a whole lot more" he turned to look at me. I raised my eyebrows at him. "what?"

"your so funny. How you prefer earth to heaven"

"your saying you wouldn't miss mary and jon if you went back home?"

"no ididn't say that" I turned my head back up towards the sky. "it's just I miss everyone back up there. Raphael, Zachariah, Michael, Ect. They're family"

"I know but we can still talk to them. If we went home we wouldn't be able to talk to mary and jon"

"true"

"hmm?"

"what?"

"I was just wondering what it would be like to be human?"

"I sat up and turned to face him. Your not talking about…"

"I am"

"cas you wouldn't" he sat up and turned to face me.

" no I was just thinking what it would be like to fall"

"well don't even think about doing it"

" I'm not"he said looking at me like I was crazy. "you really think I would do that to you?"

"no" I sighed and layed back down. So did he. "would you?"

"no" he said laughing. We stared up at the sky until it got dark.


I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate.

"anna, anna, anna, aaaaaannnnnnnnnaaaaaa." Castiels voice came from across the room. I ignored him hoping he would just leave. "anna, anna, "

"what?!" I said finally. I opened my eyes and glared at him. He smiled and laughed.

"hi"

"is that all you wanted to say?"

"nope. We have a mission"

"really?"

"well not an ordered one but I found something I wanna go check out"

"we're not supposed to leave without orders"

"soooooo… you coming?"

"Fine" I said and stood up. "where we going?"

"Kansas City, Missouri"

"what did you find in Kansas City, Missouri?"

"you'll see" he said and he walked out of the room. He flew to Kansas City and I followed. We landed in a clearing.

"So what now?" I asked when I saw nothing out of the ordinary.

"We eat"

"huh?" he reache into a bush and pulled out a picnic basket.

"just because we're angels doesn't mean we can't eat human food. It just means we don't have to" he smiled and spread a blanket out on the ground. He kneeled down and pulled out 2 sandwiches and 2 pieces of pie.

"so theres nothing going on around here?"

"nope. Well not yet" he said and winked. I closed my eyes and laughed to myself. He was the weirdest angel to have ever egsisted. "come eat" he said holding up a sandwich. I walked over and plucked it out of his hand and sat next to him. I pulled it out of the ziplock back and took a bite. BLT. Cas knew it was my favorite. He opened his up and took a bite. Tuna with extra mayonnaise was my guess. We ate in quiet for a while. I finished my sandwich and started on the pie. Castiel looked over at me and smiled. It was weird how he acted so human. Something inside of me yearned to press my lips to his. But that was forbidden so I didn't. Cas smiled and laughed as if he had read my mind.

"what?"

"you've got mayonnaise" he said pointing to his upper lip. I hastily wiped it away. I felt my face growing hot. That made him laugh harder. I glared at him but then laughed along with him.

"jerk" I said still laughing. Yet again he laughed sat there laughing and talking for a little while then decided we needed to get back. He stood up and folded the blanket. He stuck it in the picnic basket. He picked it up and started walking towards the woods. "where are you going?" I called after him

"for a walk. You coming?" he called back. I sighed and ran to catch up with him. I held my hand up and he took it. We walked in silence then circled back to the clearing to fly home. When we neared we heard some voices. We stopped and hid behind the closest tree. We peeked around and saw Zachariah and Uriel talking.

"so, Lilith and Azazel think we are completely un aware of what they are doing?" Zachariah asked. Castiel and I looked at each other.

"they have no idea that we know" uriel replied smirking.

"good. Let's keep it that way. Cause once they break the seals then we can kill Lucifer and have a perfect world"


Zachariah smiled and he and Uriel both flew off. I just stared at Castiel. The shock was as plain on his face as it must have been on mine. They were going to let the demons break the 66 seals and free Lucifer from hell.

"what the hell?" I said.

"I don't know. Maybe we heard them wrong?" cas said sounding hopeful.

"didn't you just hear them. They're going to let the demons break the seals and free Lucifer from hell."

"why?"

"Zachariah said it. So they can kill him and have a perfect world"

"but why? I mean why would they want to free him. Even if they were going to kill him it's still bad news for him to be on earth for even a little while"

"I don't know"

"maybe we should go talk to them"

"what and get ourselves killed." I snapped at him "We weren't supposed to be down here in the first place"

"so? We were and now we need to go figure out why they're going to let the demons break the seals. They'll probably tell us anyway"

I just glared at him. Always the optimist. "fine" I grumbled and took off. At first I wasn't sure he had followed then he called out.

"wanna race?"

"how can you think about something like that at a time like this"

"because I wanna race" he shrugged his shoulders and pickedup the pace. "c'mon slow poke" he called over the shoulder. I shot after him and we landed down up on a high cloud near my house.

"so we gonna go talk to them?"

"in a little bit" he said and walked over to my house and opened the door. "lady's first" he said ushering me in.

"dude I know how to go into my own house" he just shrugged and closed the door behind us. I walked down to the bathroom. He waited in the living room. I looked in the mirror. My hair was wind blown and a tangled mess. Great. I grabbed my brush and started to rake it through my hair. I must have been in there for 30 minutes by the time my hair looked somewhat better. The only way to get all the tangles out would be a shower which I refused to take with a guy in the house. Especially if that guy was Castiel. I walked out of the bathroom. Castiel was sitting on the couch his head leant back against the back of the couch and his eyes closed. I smiled to myself. Payback time for the surprise picnic. I went into the kitchen and grabbed whip cream and easy cheese I put easy cheese on his right hand and whip cream on his left. I grabbed a pillow and pulled a feather out of it. I tickled his nose. He reached up and grabbed my arm with both hands.

"gotcha" he said smiling.

" got whip cream and easy cheese all over my arm" I said yanking my arm out of his hands. He just smiled and laughed. I just glared at him. "Bitch"

"jerk" he chuckled. It was funny how we got jon and William doing that were such good influences on our human friends. I walked back to the bathroom and cleaned my arm off.

"truce" I called over my shoulder drying my arm off.

"Sure, for a little while at least" he said appearing at the bathroom door. I wondered how long we'd been pulling pranks on each other. Things really mellowed out when Gabriel left the group. I was the only one who knew he was the trickster. It was amazing that cas hadn't figured it out with how much they used to hang out together. I smiled to myself remembering when we were really really young Gabriel had stolen cas's favorite teddy bear and hurled it down to earth. Cas spent years looking for the stupid thing he had no idea what had happened to it. It had most likely burned up in earths atmosphere or floated out into space. He always knew that gabe had had something to do with it's disapearence. Michael and Raphael would scold us for pranking each other but we didn't care. Israphel would watch us and want to play but he was a good boy and never did anything Michael told him not to. Israphel came to a sad end. He fell in love with a human and uriel had killed him for it. Cas blamed uriel for Gabriel leaving. He was in love with a human as well and he left to keep them both safe.

"anna" castiel said softly snapping me out of my memories. "you ok you looked kinda distant"

"yeah just thinking"

" 'bout what"

"just stuff. Wanna go talk to Zachariah?"

"Sure" he said turning and heading for the front door. I followed he opened the door for me then followed me out.


"Zachariah?" Castile called when we entered the Garrison's base.

"ahh, Castiel anna. To what do I owe this pleasure?" Zachariah said looking up from his desk.

"we…uh…we heard a rumor that the demons are trying to break the seals and that we aren't doing anything to stop it" castiel said hesitantly.

"really? Where'd you hear that?"

"Just overheard some other angels talking about it" cas answered nervously and shoved his hands in his pockets. He stared down at his shoes.

"the other angels wouldn't happen to be Uriel and I would it?" Zachariah said standing up and walking toward us. Castiel looked at me. I didn't know what to do. What could I say that wouldn't get us killed. Say yes we're dead say no they find out we're lying and we're dead. "it's ok" Zachariah said smiling. "so you overheard our little chat. Just don't tell anyone and don't try to stop the demon and you'll be just fine"

"y…yeah… um…o…ok" Castiel stammered and turned around to leave.

"oh yeah Anna" Zachariah called after us. I turned around. "don't do what your thinking. It would be a shame to loose you" I nodded and turned back around and followed castiel out.

"what was that?" he said rounding on me.

"what was what?" I said innocently.

"what are you planning on doing anna?"

"none of your beeswax" I said shoving my way past him.

"please anna" he said grabbing my hand. "just tell me"

" I'm gonna do it" I said staring at the ground.

"do what?" he asked though he already knew the answer.

"I'm gonna fall"

"anna! Anna!" castiel called after me as I went into my house. "Anna!" I slammed the door behind me but he just opened it again.

"go away cas!" I yelled down the hall to him. "don't want you to be here when I do this!" I ran into the bathroom and locked the door. Castiel tried to open it but the lock stayed firmly in place,

"please, anna! Don't do this!" he shouted through the door.

"I'm sorry Cas, but I have to!"

"why?"

"because it's the only way I can stop this!"

"please anna" he whispered. "don't do this"

"I'm sorry" I whispered back. "goodbye"

"no, anna don't!" he shouted as I ripped my grace out. It hurt like hell. I hurled it down to earth and began to fall. I felt and aching in my chest that was not from ripping my grace out. I could still hear cas shouting at me. I plummeted towards the ground. As I went through the atmosphere my hair started to singe as it flew wildly around my face. I fell the earth growing ever closer.

And there she was. My baby girl. She wasn't even crying in the doctors arms. The lights flickered and I could swear she had wings but then they stopped and she was just my baby girl. The doctor handed her to me. She was so small. So beautiful. I kneeled down next to Barbara.

"What are we gonna name her?" I whispered

"Anna we'll name her Anna"
