Lily's reaction was a mix of confusion and sadness. She didn't know why I had sent her dad away. But I knew she could sense the tension and knew something must have been seriously wrong for me to go to this extreme.

"Is it because of me?" She asked

"Sweetheart why would you think that?" I asked

"It wasn't his fault you know" she added "I don't blame him for me being taken"

"Neither do I darling" I reassured her "it's more complicated than that"

"I'm not a child" Lily sighed "you can tell me what's going on"

"I know" I smiled at her "and I will, just not right now" she seemed to accept this and returned to her room to rest.

I took a seat at the kitchen table with Sam and Dean. Head in my hands.

"How're you holding up?" Dean asked

"Next question" I groaned, making them both chuckle.

"I think I should take her home" I told them,

"To your apartment?" Sam asked, I nodded,

"Grace no" Dean sighed "You're both still healing and vulnerable. You can't be serious"

"I just need some normality Dean" I groaned "and its warded against angels"

"I'm not sure Grace" Sam sighed

"I wasn't asking either of you for permission" I told them "I just wanted to let you know" and I left the table to pack up Lily's things.

"Mom what are you doing?" Lily asked, sitting up in bed.

"I'm taking you home" I told her, shoving her things into a bag.

"But this is my home" he questioned "the only home I've known anyway"

"It's not safe here" I sighed "please don't fight me on this" she must have heard the desperation in my tone because she nodded and climbed out of bed to help me.

Charlie was at my apartment when he got there. She pulled us both into the biggest group hug.

"I've missed you guys" she beamed

"What are you doing here?" I asked, mentalling kicking myself for sounding so rude.

"I was just making sure this place was OK for you coming home" she smiled "I knew you'd want to be here"

"Thanks Charlie" I sighed "I really don't know what I'd do without you sometimes"

"We've got so much to catch up on" she told me "but I'll let you settle in and call round tomorrow ok?" I nodded and she kissed the side of my head as she left.

"I like Charlie" Lily giggled

"Me too, sweetheart" I smiled

"So which ones my room?" Lily asked, I showed her to what had been my spare room.

"We can decorate and make it how you want it" I told her,

"I get to choose?" She asked excited

"Of course" I giggled "we'll do some online shopping later for furniture and accessories. But right now I just need my little girl to cuddle me on the sofa watching trashy TV"

"Sounds perfect" she smiled, but looked confused "What's trashy tv?"

"Oh Lily" I gasped "There's a whole world out there"

That's exactly what we did. Both of us needed it. To bond and to recover.

We fell asleep on the sofa. I woke in the middle of the night, Lily sprawled across my lap. I didn't want to move her, so I allowed myself to drift back off.

The next few days were all about us. We didn't just decorate Lily's room. We decorated and re-furnished the entire apartment until it was unrecognisable. Until it felt like ours. Until it felt like home.

"I love it" Lily giggled as we stood in the living room, admiring our handy work. "Dad would never have allowed this much pink" I could tell she regretted her words as she dropped her gaze and fidgeted.

"It's ok" I sighed, taking her hands, you can talk about him.

"I miss him Mom" she confessed,

"Me too" I confessed, "I just need you to trust me that this is best for all of us"

"I do trust you" she whispered, hugging me.

We sunk into the sofa and I could tell there was something else on her mind.

"What is it?" I asked, clearly interrupting her thoughts.

"I've been meaning to ask" she started "the man who saved me. Who was he?"

"Crowley?" I asked "that's a very complicated question"

"Mom he carried me out of a burning building" she explained "I think I deserve to know who he is"

"He did?" I asked, not having been told the full story.

"Who is Crowley to you Mom?" She asked

"He should have been your father" I sighed, Lily looked at me even more confused and I shook my head, tears threatening to fall.

"Crowley is someone from my past sweetheart, he used to be a big part of my life. But things got complicated. I had to make some tough choices to protect myself and I'm still trying to figure out what our relationship looks like now" I was transparent with her.

In many ways I felt robbed of being a Mom and having a baby. But having Lily the way she was, being able to talk to her and how mature and strong she was, it was incredible.

"He saved me Mom" she said again "I'd like to thank him properly"

"What do you have in mind?" I asked her,

"Can we invite him for dinner?" She asked shyly, obviously worried for my reaction.

"I'll call him" I smiled, dialing his number on loud speaker so Lily could talk.

"Grace?" He answered "is everything OK?" It wasn't lost on Lily how his voice affected me.

"Everything's fine" I told him "I have someone who wants to talk to you" he stayed silent, probably confused,

"Crowley?" She spoke "It's Lily"

"Hello Lily" he replied, I could hear the smirk in his tone.

"I wanted to thank you for saving me" she continued

"You don't need to thank me darling" he chuckled "it was a pleasure"

"But I do" she blushed "would you like to come for dinner?"

"Wow" he chuckled "what a lovely invitation, can I speak to your Mom for a minute?"

"Of course" she nodded, "I'll leave you to talk" she headed to her room and I turned speakphone off.

"Grace?" He asked

"It's just me" I told him,

"Dinner?" He asked

"Only if you want to" I replied "it was Lily's idea" I reiterated, not wanting him to get the wrong impression "she wants to thank the man who saved her"

"Well then how can I refuse" he chuckled "as long as its OK with you?"

"Just be here for 7" I told him and hung up the phone.
