Generations's (Spin Off/ Book FOUR)

Babies

Kali:

Suzy and Ria had to head back to the future. Temporarily, but grumps actually realised his sister vanished, and wanted to talk to both her and Suzy, as the leader of our family. Cas and Sam were now pouting, missing their respective partners, but they were going to have to deal. "So that was the last of the neighbors, just like the rest." Sam realised that Dean was completely out of it. "Dean? Dean!"

He snapped out of his daydream. "Yeah."

"You okay?" I asked him, wiping Ais' mouth as she finished her weetabix. Small persons need fuelling for the day.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." He put his hand over mine with a weak smile. "Long as I have you two, I'm good."

I gave him a smile back and went back over what Sammy had been saying. "Just saying we got nothing. No one saw anything unusual going on at the house the day the baby disappeared. Ais didn't see her either."

Castiel was sat awkwardly at the end of the table, evidently worried about the whole missing his other half thing. Grumps got annoyed the more people were in relationships, so he did have a right to be. "If this is truly the Darkness we're talking about, it's more of a time bomb than a baby. And she really will be more powerful than your baby."

"Yeah, but it is still a baby, right?" Deany pointed out as I swallowed liquid darkness, knowing I needed it. "I mean, the Darkness we saw was an adult, right Aisling." She nodded, sucking her thumb. "So it still has to, uh, grow up."

"The Darkness is almost infinite power." I reminded him, kissing her cheek before taking her thumb out. Braces were not worth it, and I spoke from experience. 3 years, and I still had scars on the inside of my mouth. "I'm not sure what "growing up" means in this case."

Sam shrugged, missing Ria, but not saying much. He was used to losing girlfriends, and at least Ria wouldn't die on him. "Well, God kicked this thing's ass once before, right?"

Which just made Dean a little more grouchy. He was my very grouchy wolf today. "Yeah, it'd be nice if he put down the Mai Tai and show up for work." He was more of a whiskey man, was Chuck. 

My brother sighed, shaking his head. "I wouldn't count on it."

"It's possible he's around." Sam said softly. "Closer than we think, you know?"

OK, where were you going with this, Samuel? "What makes you say that?"

"I believe he made a fairly definitive statement when we walked away." Cassy reminded him, standing up, and we could see the shackles again. 

Oh, my big bro... "Sorry about those, Cassy. Till we know what's going on with you, you're still a bit of a wild card, you know? It's not worth the risk with Aisling here."

"I hate to point this out, but you both know who we might need to help deal with the Darkness."

"Don't even say it." Dean and I snapped together.

Sam wasn't dropping it though. "He was God's scribe. He did hear about everything."

Dean rolled his eyes. "That's just like saying it. Cas, you all right, pal?"

"It's the spell."

This was not going to be any good, at all. "We were hoping your angel wiring would fight it off or...slow it down at least."

"It appears I simply respond differently from humans."

"If you were you human, you'd be gone." I told him firmly, wishing that I could rip out the darkness in him too, only the veins were really routed in there, like veins through his Grace. "With you, it's like it's digging deeper."
