Lost and Found
-One-
Castiel headed into the nursery to prepare Leila-Marie for her bath. He'd left the two year old in her room whilst he began to run the bath and Dean was just keeping an eye on it as prepared dinner. Dean and Castiel had been together for six years, and had been married for three, Leila-Marie coming into their lives three weeks after their one year anniversary. She'd just turned two and had been given a lovely birthday party which she celebrated with her Uncle Sam, Uncle Gabriel, Uncle Adam, Grandma Mary, Grandpa John, and Uncle Bobby.
Leila-Marie was beautiful. She had hair like Castiel's, dark and thick, and it curled into little ringlets no matter what they did with it. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of green, much like Dean's, and she had the cutest little nose ever. She played a game with her Papa and Daddy where they'd poke her nose and she'd poke theirs, and they'd play it when she woke up every morning, because they were always there when she woke up, and when she went to bed because they were always there then too.
But as Castiel approached the little pink bedroom-nursery-playroom, he stopped in his tracks and dropped the towels and clothes in his hands. There was chocolate everywhere! And in the middle of the room sat Leila-Marie, covered in the stuff.
"Leila-Marie?" Castiel asked, "What happened, baby?"
"Me didn't do nothing!" Leila-Marie cried, standing up and hiding her hands behind her back.
"Sweetie, there's chocolate all over the place." Castiel said with a gentle smile, kneeling before his little girl, "You can tell me if you did this, it's okay..."
"But, Papa!" She said, toddling towards her father and holding his shirt in her tiny hands, "Uncie Gabe gave me some choccy, and it got all wetted! And I didn't mean it, Papa! I didn't!"
"Alright," Castiel soothed, making a mental note to kill Gabriel later as his little girl started to cry, "It's okay, Leila-Marie..."
"Papa's not mad at Leila-Marie?" The baby girl asked, Castiel biting his lip to fight back his own tears at the sight of how upset his child was at the thought of him being mad at her.
"Of course Papa's not mad at Leila-Marie..." He promised, "It's alright, sweetie, let's get you in the bath, huh?"
"I sorry, Papa..."
Castiel sighed and pressed a kiss to Leila's cheek, picking her up and holding her close, rubbing her back soothingly as he got her towel and clothes from the floor, heading into the bathroom. Dean was just testing the water when he saw the state of Leila-Marie, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"What've you been up to, huh?" He asked, noticing his child was crying, "She okay, Cas?"
"She's fine, Dean." Castiel smiled, "I'll explain when she's in bed...she'll be sleeping with us tonight."
"Why?" Dean asked.
"Go and look in her room."
Castiel turned on the CD player in the corner of the bathroom and began to bathe his daughter, Dean heading into the bedroom and gasping at the sight. He chuckled and shook his head, covering his face and bursting into a fit of laughter. He entered the bathroom and sat by his little girl.
"Only you, Leila-Marie." He said, kissing her head, "Only you."
"Daddy?" She asked, confused as to what he meant.
"Love you, baby." Dean told her, the little girl beaming and reaching for him.
He leaned down and she pressed a kiss to his lips, Castiel doing the same.
"Yuv you too, Daddy." She replied, "And Papa."
"I love you too, angel." Castiel told her, wiping off the chocolate that had some how got onto her belly.
"I'll start cleaning up that room." Dean chuckled, kissing Castiel's cheek and heading into the bedroom to change Leila-Marie's bedding.
"Why is I sleeping in Daddy and Papa's bed?" Leila-Marie asked as Castiel tucked her in and looked for a story to read to her.
"We're cleaning up your room, sweetie." Castiel replied, "It's covered in choccy. But you're only in here tonight and then you're back in your room tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay." Leila-Marie replied.
Castiel climbed into bed beside his daughter with a book, beginning to read the story while Dean turned the dinner down, heading down the hallway to his daughter's room. The family lived in a one-storey house in Lawrence, Kansas, Dean's parents living three blocks away with the youngest Winchester, Adam who had just turned twenty. Dean's younger brother, Sam, was with Castiel's older brother, Gabriel and they lived across the street, and John's best friend, Bobby had moved from Sioux Falls, South Dakota after the loss of his wife, living close to Mary and John.
Dean and Castiel couldn't be happier with their life right now, and as Dean climbed on the other side of his husband and child, listening as Castiel read the story to Leila-Marie. The little girl was slowly drifting off to sleep when the story had finished, and Castiel kissed her head, poking her nose which she returned before he turned on the digital baby monitor which he'd always kept as a precaution, getting out of bed to go and serve his and Dean's dinner.
Dean stayed by Leila-Marie, kissing her cheek and poking her nose, the gesture being returned again before he whispered words of love to her, resting really close to her and rubbing her belly. She was smiling lazily at him, Dean smiling back and watching as her eyes drifted shut, before kissing her forehead and tucking her in, climbing out of bed and turning out the light before locking the baby gate and heading into the dining room for his dinner with Castiel.
The lovers shared a gentle kiss, sitting down to their meal and keeping an eye on Leila-Marie as she slept soundly in their bed.
"Papa?" Leila-Marie whispered as Dean and Castiel got into bed that night.
"Shhh..." Castiel soothed, "It's okay...sorry for waking you, my love, go back to sleep."
"M'kay..." Leila-Marie replied, rolling onto her belly and holding her teddy in her hand, rolling over again so she was closer to her daddy before opening her eyes.
"Daddy?" She asked.
"Hey, beautiful..." Dean whispered.
"You sleepy time now?" She asked, Dean and Castiel moving closer together and cuddling her in between them, turning out their lights and snuggling up in the darkness with their baby girl.
"Yeah." Dean replied, stroking her head and kissing her cheek, "Night, baby."
"Night, Daddy..." Leila-Marie hummed, reaching up and stroking Castiel's stubble dusted cheek, "Night, Papa..."
"Night, sweetie." Castiel replied, rubbing her belly gently to help her sleep.
The couple leaned over her and kissed lovingly, nuzzling foreheads before settling down to sleep.
"Night, Cas. Love you."
"Night, Dean...I love you too."
