Summary
“This is the weight you felt,” Sariel says. “A soul, and a bright one at that.”
It is bright, in fact, one of the brightest that Castiel has ever seen. It is rare to see a soul that shines so brightly, and with such pure and radiant light. Castiel smiles, basking in the solemn beauty of his Father’s creations, extending his own hand to touch the soul. “It is so small,” He says, wondrously. “So fragile.”

Summary
Castiel shifts, uncomfortably, and Lailah in his arms is very slowly working the bow of her headband around her head, presumably to chew on it. Jessica can see her feet now, because the dress has been pushed up to knee-length, and she is wearing white booties that match her dress. "That was my family," he says, and his voice is very serious. "I will not see them again for a long time."
Jess feels very bad for him, this sad man with a baby. "Is it just you, then?" She asks, curious. "Where is Lailah's mom?"
Castiel looks down at the infant in his lap. "Lailah does not have a mother," he says, quietly, and Jess feels her heart breaking for him. He looks so very lost, with his large, deep blue eyes and the stubble that means he probably hadn't shaved today. She takes a look at his hands, large capable looking hands with short, squared-off nails.
Jess makes a quick decision. "Castiel," she says. "Why don't you give me your number? I think you could use a friend."

Summary
It’s not human.
It can’t be.
Sam’s heart is thudding, too loud, in his chest, and it feels like he’s being slowly strangled. Whatever air he had is gone, trapped, sucked out of him when he opened the door and saw that thing hovering over his child’s bed.

Johnny turns his face to Sam, a pleading look in his eyes. "Peas, Daddy?" he asks, which Sam knows is not a plea for more peas.

Summary
Sam's whole face falls, his shoulders hunch in around him, protectively. There's something vulnerable about his pose, something that makes him seem less like a thirty-three year old man, and more like the awkward, chubby kid with feet too big for his body that Dean had taken care of for five years. "I lied to you," Sam whispers, and it comes out like a confession.
