"He can't leave," Cas said quietly, "He can't." He and Dean were sitting on the couch, both still shocked from the blow up before. Sam was back outside, staying away while Gabriel prepared to leave with Jesse and Henry. Balthazar had arrived a few moments ago and joined his brother upstairs, leaving Dean and Cas alone.
"Where's he going to go?" Cas said.
"Well, he's an angel," Dean said, "I'm sure between him and Balthazar they can come up with something."
"Yeah, I guess..." Cas said slowly.
"Cas, I think you should go with them," Dean said and the angel looked at him in shock.
"You... want me to leave?" Cas asked and Dean could hear the confusion in the angel's voice.
"No, I don't want you to leave," Dean said, resting his hand on Cas's check, "But something weird is going on with Sam and I don't know how much I trust him around you and the boys right now. Besides, I think Gabe'll probably need a lot of help right now." Cas nodded, but said nothing, looking away from Dean.
"Cas," Dean said turning the angel back to face him, "I want more than anything for you to stay, okay? This isn't me sending you away because I don't want you. I need you safe, okay? I need the boys safe."
"You can't always keep us safe by staying away from us Dean," Cas sighed, "But if you think it's for the best..."
"It's not forever Cas," Dean said gently, "Just until I figure out what's going on with Sam."
Cas nodded and stood, "I better go tell Gabriel and you'll need to tell Ben what's going on." Dean nodded and watched as Cas walked out of the room before he too headed upstairs to talk to his son. He entered Ben's room to find his son playing with his toy cars.
"Hey bud," he said quietly, "How you doing?"
"Okay," Ben shrugged, "Are Uncle Sam and Uncle Gabe going to start yelling again?"
"No, I don't think so," Dean sat on the floor next to Ben, "Gabriel's actually gonna be going away for a little while."
"For how long?" Ben asked.
"I don't know yet," Dean said, "He's gonna take Jesse and Henry and get away for a bit, kind of like a vacation. And me and Cas were thinking maybe you and him and Jamie could go too..."
"What?' Ben looked up at his dad in shock, "We're leaving? Without you? Why?" Ben's voice was getting louder and quicker and tears were gathering in his eyes.
"Hey, hey, it's okay," Dean pulled Ben into his arms, "Yes, you guys are going without me, but that's okay. Like I said, it's gonna be like a vacation. You'll have Jesse and your brother to play with and Balthazar'll probably be there. It'll be lots of fun!"
"But why can't you come?" Ben sniffed.
"Me and Uncle Sam have some important stuff we need to take care of first," Dean explained, "But we'll see each other really soon, okay?"
"'Kay," Ben said sadly.
"Lets get you packed then," Dean said, trying to sound cheerful and ignoring the growing sense of dread at the thought of them all being separated.

Cas knocked on the door to Gabriel's room and opened it slowly.
"Hey Cas," Gabe said.
"Hello Cassie!" Balthazar exclaimed, holding Henry steady on his lap, "What can we do for you?"
"I, um, I wish to come with you," Cas said and is older brothers looked at him in surprise.
"What?" Gabe said, "Cas, why-"
"It was actually Dean's idea," Cas went on, "He thinks it would be best if the boys and I were away from Sam."
"What does he think is going on with Gigantor?" Balthazar questioned.
"I'm not sure," Cas admitted, "But whatever it is he doesn't trust Sam around Ben and Jamie right now. So, I would like to go with you, wherever it is you are going."
"Yeah, of course Cas," Gabe said and Castiel nodded his thanks.
"Well, I do believe things just got a lot more interesting boys," Balthazar said.
