Emerald

When the world brightened back up Castiel and I were standing in front of a lake. The area looked familiar. Looking around I realized we were at the lake we stopped at, at least five or six years back when we were working a case in North Carolina. We had just finished up; it was late, Dean went for food before bed but I was hungry so I decided to take a walk and found this lake. I hadn't been there long before Castiel showed up to check on me. He told me Sam and Dean were worried and upset that I just took off and sent him to find me. I taught him how to skip rocks that day. We spent hours at that lake tossing rocks, watching them skip over the water's surface. He stayed and watched the stars with me that night. He removed his coat, laying it on the grass, and let me lean against him as we stared up into the night sky. I remembered feeling the same warmth and anxious feeling then that I felt the first time he ever kissed me. That night was the night I began falling for my fallen angel.

"What are we doing here?" I asked looking for Chuck.

Chuck, Gabriel, Sam, and Dean were sitting off to the side listening to something Chuck was saying. Castiel wrapped his arms around me from behind as he looked out over the lake. The sun was just beginning to set casting hues of pinks, purples, oranges, and yellow over the sky, reflecting off of the lake.

"I don't have my coat with me this time, but would you want to sit down and watch the sunset?" he asked as his lips brushed against my ear.

Shivers danced up my spine from his touch. Castiel was sitting first, he helped me brace myself as I lowered myself to the ground. This was almost the exact spot we sat in the first night here. I leaned against his chest as his arms slid around my middle. We sat like that until the sun was completely gone from the sky. I began to get up but was stopped by locked arms.

"Cas? The suns down, what are we still going here?" I asked facing him.

"Our night here we gazed up at the stars. Why not tonight?" he shrugged.

I felt the baby stirring, he began fidgeting and kicking, his warmth radiating through me. Castiel's hands found my stomach causing our little one to push out towards his cradling hands.

"Looks as if I've been outvoted. Is this how it's going to be when he arrives? The two of you against me?" I chuckled as I looked up at the stars coming into focus against the night sky.

The sight was beautiful. It looked as if someone used a paintbrush and splattered silver glitter against a black background. I could feel my heart filling with love and happiness. Just as I thought this movement couldn't get any better, a shooting star danced across the sky.

Voices behind us quickly brought me back to reality. The realization of the other's still being here hit me, I climbed to my feet, dusting the grass off of my pants. I turned to face the others only to find Castiel down on one knee in front of me.

Gasping as my fingers found my lips, eyes widening as they found his bright blue ones.

"Cas..."

I could hear commotion off in the distance but nothing was tearing my eyes away from the man in front of me.

"I'm not sure how this is done, to be honest." Castiel looked up at me nervously. I could feel his nerves twisting within his grace. Our baby began moving, slighting pushing against my stomach in reach for his father.

"Angel, the first night we were at this lake is the night I knew I was experiencing human emotions for the first time. I wanted nothing but to protect you and spend all of my time with you. What led us to this moment wasn't quite ideal but I wouldn't change anything, even if I could." His gaze drifted off to the side as he began to ramble quickly. "Well, maybe the unforeseen bond with Lucifer, that definitely..."
