Our Little Angel

-One-

The angel flittered away again, right in the middle of the conversation. It hurt Dean more that they were settling after making love when the angel decided to leave him. To add to the strange behaviour, the angel had been making Dean wear protection in bed. They never had before, so why now? Castiel had also been busy piling pillows up and then arranging them back to their normal state before trying again. In short, the older Winchester was completely confused.

But then Castiel disappeared for two days and Dean panicked. As he slept though, the bright flash of light and the thump awoke Dean and Sam from their slumber, the angel curled up on the floor purely exhausted.

"Cas?" Dean asked, "Sweetheart?"

Castiel groaned and the brothers knelt by his side, Sam spotting something shuffling beneath the angel's trenchcoat.

"Dean…I don't think he's alone…" The younger Winchester breathed, Dean pulling back the trenchcoat to reveal something he didn't expect to see.

There was a baby lying in Castiel's arms, definitely newborn, judging by the size of it. It was wrapped in a small towel, nothing more and it opened it's big green eyes to look at the brothers before crying.

"I d-didn't want to name her…not without y-you here…" Castiel breathed, "I can't g-get her to stop…"

"Cas, honey…" Dean breathed, "Who is she?"

"Our baby…" Castiel groaned, looking at the tiny girl before stroking her cheek gently, "Shhh…"

Dean looked down at the tiny baby girl in Castiel's embrace, unable to believe that this was his child.

"Cas…you're a dude…she can't be mine…" Dean breathed, Castiel looking so hurt the older Winchester's chest tightened.

"Don't you ever deny that she's yours, Dean…" The angel whispered, "Because she is…I swear…"

"H-how?" Dean asked, "You're a dude…well…in a dude…"

"When we…without protection…" Castiel began, Sam looking away and rubbing the back of his neck, "The pregnancy happened w-within my Grace. I c-carried her and birthed her through my Grace…which is why I'm so tired…"

The angel looked tiredly at his baby and sighed.

"I can't make her stop, D-Dean…" He breathed, "I was only pregnant for a month…"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Dean asked, holding his dark haired baby's hand and stroking it with his thumb.

"I didn't know w-what you'd say…" Castiel replied, kissing his little girl's cheek gently, "Shhh…hush, my darling…"

Dean took his little girl in his arms and cradled her close while Sam lifted Castiel onto Dean's bed, helping him sit against the pillows before Dean sat on the bed, gently rocking the tiny girl in his arms to try and calm her.

"Shhh," He whispered, "It's okay, gorgeous…it's okay…"

Castiel smiled weakly and Dean sat by his side, kissing him passionately before passing him their baby girl.

"What are going to call her?" Castiel asked, "She's beautiful…"

"Noelle." Dean replied, Castiel beaming in response.

"Noelle Alaina." The angel added, Sam grinning at the couple as they gazed at their baby.

"Noelle Alaina Winchester." Dean finished.

"That's beautiful." Sam told the lovers, smiling at his niece who lay in the towel that was wrapped around her, cradled in Castiel's arms safely.

The angel wound his trenchcoat around Noelle and kept her close, kissing her head and shushing her as she continued to cry. Sam headed out for some supplies, leaving Dean and Castiel alone to spend time with their tiny baby girl.
