Hi! Sorry for that wait... : (

So, here it is. The final chapter of Pitter Patter, Part 2 :'(

It's been a lot of fun writing this and I just want to say thank you to all those who have reviewed, some of you every chapter, which I think is amazing. All of your support through this has been mind-blowing and I want to thank you all for that!

So lets crack on...

Enjoy!

Onwards...

'Please, for the love of all things Holy; tell me that's not what I think it is!'

Sam laughed at Gabriel's mortified face as the angel looked at the pictures in Sam's hands. They had just got back to Bobby's after they had 'grown up' and Sam and Dean were having a great time showing them all the baby pictures Sam had been taking of them through their time as children.

Dean snorted as Castiel scrutinised the picture in question. The angel tilted his head right the way round, his brow furrowed. He stood up, as though satisfied. 'I believe it is, Gabriel.' He deadpanned.

Sam cracked up, pointing at the picture. 'And that's Gabriel in the bathtub when he fell in the mud outside Bobby's yard.'

Gabriel crossed his arms and sulked. Dean was comically and forcefully reminded of when he was a teenager. He realised the two 'different' angels weren't so different after all.

'Why the hell did you take pictures?' he asked, face a bright beetroot colour.

The youngest Winchester shrugged. 'I had the camera on me; I thought 'Why not?'"

'Why not? Why not?' Gabriel gestured wildly at the photo. 'I'm naked that's why not!'

Sam waved his hand and turned the page in the album he had made. 'And there's Cas on Dean's shoulders when we went to the mall.'

Castiel peered at the picture, a small smile on his face. Dean's grinning face looked up at him, a younger version of himself squirming on top of the oldest Winchester's shoulders, Dean grabbing at his ankles to make sure he didn't fall off.

'You look happy, Dean.' He looked at the hunter, who looked away. Of course he looked happy; he was happier than he had been in a long time.

Sam coughed and turned the page again. 'And there's the two of you with Uncle Bobby at the Christmas party we had.'

Bobby grunted. He obviously wasn't too happy about the angels turning back. He kinda liked having the little ones around, even if Gabriel had spent most of his time sulking.

Gabriel looked at the picture and couldn't help but crack a smile. He and Castiel were wearing Christmas hats, both their faces beaming, eyes shining with happiness, Gabriel perched on Bobby's shoulders whilst Castiel was snuggled in his arms, a shy smile on his face.

'You party animal' Gabriel nudged his brother, who glared at him. Dean sighed. Some things never changed.

Sam smiled at the two angels. He shared a look with Dean, who seemed to be thinking the same as him.

'It seems like just yesterday we held their bottles.' They both chorused, Gabriel looked furiously embarrassed whilst Cas cast a bemused look at Bobby.

'Look, could we just keep this hush hush, okay? No need to tell anyone about this.'

'Too late, little brother.'

Two angels and three humans swung around in perfect synchronisation, all reaching for their respective weapons when a man they didn't recognise smiled at them.

Castiel sighed. 'Michael.'

The hunters sighed and lowered their weapons. However Gabriel did no such thing, a look of anger on his normally calm face.

'You did this?'

'I thought you ought to be taught a lesson. I think the outcome has been achieved.' Michael smiled, too self satisfied for Gabriel's liking.

'So you thought it be funny to make me and Castiel into your little experiment?' he fumed. 'Learnt anything?'

'No.' Michael looked briefly at Castiel. 'But it reinforced a few things.'

'What's that supposed to mean?' challenged Dean, feeling brave. The air around him crackled, and the vessel Michael was inhabiting seemed to grow, the middle aged, dark haired man filling the space. Castiel edged towards his human, weary of attack.

'Do not question me, human.' Growled Michael, calmly.

'Why are you here, Michael?' asked Castiel, looking quickly at his brother, as though trying to defuse the inevitable fight. That was the last thing he wanted right now.

'Just making sure the lesson was learnt.'

'What lesson?'

'That being human is not the right path for you both. You don't cope well on this plane; being celestial is the only path for you. You should both stop running from your destiny.'

Gabriel looked at him with an open mouth. 'Well, thanks for that philosophical insight.'

'I mean it. You, Gabriel left heaven completely, running of to "join the pagens" as Dean so eloquently put it. And you, Castiel. You have been falling for a very long time.'

He sighed and looked at his younger brothers. 'You even managed to find a demon were you weren't supposed to! That proves it, that you were meant to be angels, not human. And that fighting will get either of you nowhere.'

Gabriel scoffed, Sam looking at him wearily, wary of the all powerful angel stood in front of them; an angel not to be laughed at. 'So you turned us into kids? Cos that makes sense; all kids do is fight!'

'Be that as it may; but I am satisfied now.'

'Well that good news' muttered Dean sarcastically.

Michael gave him a long, hard look, before turning to his brothers again.

'I'll be watching you both.'

With that, he promptly disappeared.

There was complete silence in the room before Gabriel broke it.

'Ass.'

Dean snorted, nodding. 'Understatement.'

Castiel turned to Dean. 'I want to thank you for what you have done; I do hope we didn't burden you too much.'

'No, Cas.' Dean told him. 'It was kinda cool having you around as kids. Made you easier to talk to.' He grinned, telling Cas he was joking.

Castiel and Gabriel seemed to be readying themselves for flight.

'Thanks.' Said Gabriel begrudgingly, before disappearing.

Sam smiled at the younger angel still left in the room, who looked around awkwardly. Dean could hug him; it was good having the old Castiel back.

Cas disappeared after his brother. Sam turned when he heard Bobby sigh behind him.

'I know.' He smiled. All three hunters looking at the space the two angels had just been standing in.

'They grow up so fast.'

-End-

Ah, but I have another little surprise up my sleeves... introducing... (In pre-production)
