An Unusual Family

-One-

"Crowley...I'm..."

"What?"

"I'm pregnant."

Raegan's words played over and over in Crowley's head. He just gaped at her, unable to believe that she'd just told him she was...pregnant. Pregnant with his baby. Oh, God, a half demon baby. No, no, no...No, this was too much. Way too much. But as he focussed and saw how frightened and upset she was, he realised that he couldn't leave, whether he needed thinking space or not. That must've been the unexplained crackle he'd been feeling all day between them.

"P-please, don't be mad..." She whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get pregnant...I'm sorry..."

That was when the confusion set in. Why was she sorry? This wasn't bad news, was it? They had a baby on the way, a child who they'd both love no matter what. He knew that he would have to perform a ritual with Raegan to take the demonic essence away. Raegan wouldn't survive a demonic birth, he knew that. He couldn't lose her. He wouldn't love that child half as much if it was the reason Raegan died.

"Darling..." He began, "Don't be sorry."

He stepped towards her and kissed her forehead, pressing one hand to her stomach and jumping at the crackling which ensued, but finally it subsided, warmth spreading through Raegan's abdomen and through Crowley's hand.

"Oh, my God..." He breathed, taking Raegan a chair and sitting her down in it before he knelt before her and took her hands, "Here..."

He placed her own hands on her stomach and then his above hers, part of his hands resting on her belly.

"Just give it a moment..." He whispered, looking up at her and kissing her lips when he saw that she was still crying, "It's alright."

They waited and the crackling came again before it settled, Crowley smiling widely. Raegan felt the warmth going through her body and she gasped, tightening her grip on his hands. The two shared a kiss and smiled at one another, Crowley looking to her belly as he felt tears pricking the back of his eyes.

Damn. What, you're gonna cry too? 'Cause that's really what she needs.

He was snapped out of his thoughts as the warmth grew stronger and he leaned down and kissed her stomach. This was his baby. His little baby that was growing inside the love of his life. It just all seemed so surreal to him at that moment. He wondered if he was dreaming or if this was real.

"Hello, little one..." He whispered, the warmth growing stronger still, "Yes, Daddy's here..."

"And Mama's here..." Raegan said softly, looking to Crowley with tearful eyes, "You're not mad?"

"Of course I'm not..." Crowley told her, "Promise."

Raegan opened her arms to him and he wound his around her, keeping her close and kissing her head gently. He was going to be a father. A daddy, a papa...a father. God, his heart just skipped a beat at the thought of it. And he didn't understand why. He wasn't the type to look after a child. He wouldn't know the first thing to do. But Raegan had a job at the local nursery school. She understood what it was like to work with children, yet he didn't have the slightest idea. He was terrified all of a sudden at the amount of thoughts that flew through his head. But he calmed himself when Raegan began to sob against his shoulder.

"Sh, sh, shhh..." He whispered, rubbing her back gently and rocking her in his embrace, "It's alright, Rae."

Upon arrival at home, Crowley started chuckling, Raegan wondering what on earth he was laughing about. This situation wasn't funny. Maybe it was something to do with watching Gabriel and Sam dancing to the Cha Cha Slide at the party or something...

"Y'know, I can't believe how dense I've been." He said, laughing harder, "I mean, you were in and out of the bathroom, you've been avoiding drinking alcohol and you came back from shopping on Thursday with a bag from the pharmacy."

He laughed a little more and shook his head.

"God, I'm an idiot."

Raegan went over to him and chuckled, winding gentle arms around him.

"You're my idiot." She said sweetly, kissing him deeply and passionately.

"Thanks, I think." He replied, kissing her forehead, "I need to talk to you when you've had your bath."

"Oh, what about?" Raegan asked as she took her shoes off, Crowley biting his lip.

"About getting rid of the demonic essence that will be present in our baby." He said, Raegan stopping as she was about to climb the stairs before turning to face him.

"Pardon?"

"We've got to perform a ritual." Crowley whispered, "Nothing major, just...um...we need to get some demon blood blessed before the third month of pregnancy. And you need to drink it."

"Why?" Raegan asked, Crowley feeling tears pricking the back of his eyes a the thought of losing her.

"Because you won't survive the birth if the baby had demonic essence." He told her, "And I can't lose you. I won't love that baby anywhere near as much if you were dead as I would if you're alive. Anyway, we need to find out how far along you are, so..."

"Oh...I see..." Raegan replied.

Crowley shared a worried look with her before she headed upstairs, the demon hoping and praying that they could get the blood blessed before she reached the third month. If the birth was anything like the demonic births humans had endured before, there was no way that she'd survive. He couldn't take it if he lost her.
