A/N: Yey, I finally got round to writing it! I promised that I would ;) Thank you so much for all your encouragement and support from the first story (which you should maybe read first if you haven't already.) I love pregnant Cas stories, and I absolutely love the idea of Dean fussing over him. So, here we go! I hope that you enjoy this first chapter :)

Chapter 1

Castiel wanted to be mad at Dean, he really did, but his partner's sulky pout was enough to make him laugh. After telling Dean that he was pregnant five weeks ago Dean's protective instincts had kicked into overdrive and he didn't want Castiel doing anything that could be considered strenuous. Hence, every time Castiel went to the door to head out to work for the night they had the same disagreement.

"You're pregnant, Cas, you shouldn't be out late at a bar where people get drunk and unpredictable."

"Dean, most people don't leave work until they're at least six months pregnant" Castiel argued back.

"Yeah, because they're probably sat in an office all day!" Dean exclaimed with exasperation. "They're not up most of the night in a crowded area, with god knows who breathing all over them and getting rowdy."

Castiel rolled his eyes. "Dean, we have another little one on the way and we're saving up for a bigger place. We need all the money we can get. I'm only two months along so we can get a little more work out of me yet."

"Maybe if I talk to Bobby he can give me more shifts at the yard instead…"

"No, I want you to be able to spend time with us, and I don't want you to have to carry the burden of this."

"Yeah, well, you're carrying our baby…" Dean mumbled as he looked down at the floor.

Castiel couldn't help the slight snicker of amusement that erupted from him at seeing his lover pout. He stepped forward and cupped Dean's cheeks to bring the taller man to look at him. Castiel was smiling and that almost made Dean crack into one too, but he remained stubborn.

"I know that you're worried about me, but it can't be good for you either to be this stressed. I know what happened at the bar before was…scary, but Alastair and Azazel are gone now and I'm not afraid anymore. I'm fine. So, I need you to be too, okay? Besides, do you really think Ellen would take her eyes off me now? She's nearly as bad as you are."

Dean did give a slight huff of amusement at that. He reached up to gently wrap his own fingers around Castiel's wrists.

"I just want you and our baby to be safe."

"I know" Castiel replied. "I eat and drink when I need to, rest when I need to. I'm being extra careful, I promise, because I know it's not just me anymore."

He could tell that Dean was more than relieved and pleased to hear that.

"Okay." Dean was finally defeated as he moved forward to kiss Castiel on the lips.

After that Dean pulled Castiel into a hug. He ran his hands underneath the back of the smaller man's shirt and felt the scar that Azazel had left from his attack. It made Dean's mind flash back to seeing the man he loved lying in the parking lot in a pool of his own blood, saying goodbye. Tears sprang to Dean's eyes and he pulled Castiel closer still, needing to know that he was there.

"It just proves that I'm a survivor" Castiel whispered as he felt Dean's fingers lingering on the mark. Dean nodded his chin against Castiel's shoulder and then turned slightly to press a kiss to his neck. "I better get going" Castiel said. "Tell Jimmy I love him before you put him to bed, okay? I love you too."

"I love you" Dean returned the sentiment. "And Jimmy, and our little one" he added as he caressed the sides of Castiel's still flat stomach.

Castiel smiled and kissed his partner's cheek before heading out the door.

Dean had put Jimmy to bed around seven, grabbed a couple of beers out of the fridge, and then plonked himself down in front of the TV so that he could distract himself from thinking about Cas, and try to focus on watching Doctor Sexy instead.

When Castiel finally returned home it was past midnight. He padded in through the front door and the first thing Dean heard was his boyfriend emitting a loud yawn. Dean jumped off of the couch and went to greet him. The pregnant man certainly looked tired. His eyes were slightly drooped and his movements were sluggish as he absentmindedly rubbed a hand across his stomach.

"You okay, baby?" Dean asked concernedly.

"Yeah, just tired" Castiel assured him as he walked over to give the other man a kiss. "And a little hungry."

"Well, what can I get you?" Dean asked.

"Mmm, I'm kind of craving fries."

"Okay, I'll go out and get you some."

"No, you don't have to do that" Castiel urged. "It's late…"

"Hey" Dean interrupted him. "If my baby wants fries then my baby is getting some fries."

Castiel was too tired to argue with Dean so he simply smiled and gave his partner a peck on the lips.

Dean grabbed his car keys and headed out into the night. Castiel meanwhile traipsed into Jimmy's room to check on his sleeping little angel.

Jimmy was 14 months old now and growing every day. Castiel smiled at the way his son's little mouth hung slightly open and his fists were clenched by his head. It was hard to think that he'd ever had to consider giving his baby away, but now they were safe with Dean and part of a family who cared about them. That was all Castiel had ever wanted for his son. He leaned over and kissed his Jimmy's forehead.

"I love you, sweet pea."

Castiel rearranged the blankets that Jimmy had kicked off himself and then headed off to his and Dean's bedroom.

As he changed into his pyjamas Castiel studied himself in the mirror. When Dean had first found him he and been skin and bones, all the weight he'd had resting in his baby bump. Now Dean had made sure to fill him up with home cooked meals and Castiel thought he looked a lot healthier.

He rubbed his hands over his stomach again; a gesture he could barely fight the urge of anymore. He knew Dean was excited about him finally showing; however Castiel was a little unsure. Of course, it would be amazing to see the first signs of their baby growing, but he and Dean had never been intimate whilst Castiel was pregnant before; he hoped that Dean wouldn't lose any attraction he had for him.

Once he was dressed Castiel got into the bed and hunkered himself down under the covers. He switched on his bedside lamp and looked through a pregnancy book whilst he waited for Dean to return. Although he had made it through his first pregnancy alone, on the streets no less, Castiel did just like to remind himself he was doing everything right.

He heard the front door open and shut upon Dean's return and then the salty smell of fries came wafting through the hall. Dean entered the bedroom with a smile on his face and handed Castiel a brown paper bag.

"Mmm, thank you so much" Castiel said as he opened the back and put a few of the fries in his mouth.

Dean laughed. "It's okay. I'm just dreading the day you start craving pickles and mustard."

Castiel grimaced at the thought.

Dean went into the bathroom to get ready for bed and returned stripped down to his boxers. He climbed into bed beside Castiel who was just scrunching up the paper bag and throwing it in the trashcan they had beside the bed.

"Wow, you finished those quickly" Dean chuckled with amusement.

"I know" Castiel sighed. "This baby is already making me ten times hungrier than usual."

"Mmm, well I'm a little hungry for something else" Dean mumbled as he leaned over and started to kiss along Castiel's neck.

Castiel let out a moan of content. "Okay, but be gentle."

"Absolutely" Dean affirmed before pulling Castiel down under the sheets.

When Dean woke up in the early morning he rolled to the other side of the bed and found it cold and empty. He sat up with a frown and rubbed his eyes.

"Cas?" he called. There was no answer.

Dean walked out into the hall and saw a thin strip of light coming from beneath the bathroom door. As he got closer he heard retching noises. His brow furrowed with concern as he slowly opened the door.

"Cas?"

"Go away" Castiel sniffled.

He was on his knees by the toilet bowl and looking utterly miserable.

"Sorry, baby, I can't do that" Dean said as he knelt down beside Castiel and started to rub his back soothingly. "Morning sickness is starting to hit you hard, huh?" Castiel nodded again as he grabbed some toilet paper to wipe his mouth with. "How long have you been here?"

"About half an hour" Castiel mumbled. He felt that he was finally done so he allowed himself to fall back against Dean's chest with exhaustion.

"Oh, Cas, you should have woken me up" Dean lightly scolded and then pressed a kiss to his boyfriend's clammy forehead.

"I didn't want you to see me like this" Castiel argued. "It's not exactly attractive…and you've been working so hard lately so I didn't want to disturb you. You looked so peaceful."

"Baby, that doesn't matter. What matters is you don't have to go through this stuff alone like you did with Jimmy. I want to be with you every step of the way" Dean replied sincerely. "And nothing could not make you attractive to me" he added.

Castiel gave a quiet hum in reply and allowed a small smile to grace his lips.

"I love you" he said as he turned to Dean. "I'd kiss you, but that would be gross right now."

Dean chuckled and kissed Castiel on the cheek instead. "I love you too. C'mon, let's get you back to bed."

Castiel groaned tiredly as he tried to use Dean to push himself up, but instead Dean placed one arm around his boyfriend's back and the other under his knees before swiftly picking Cas up and carrying him out of the room. Castiel would have normally protested but he was too sleepy now.

Dean deposited Castiel safely on the bed and then went to sort out the bathroom and fetch Cas a glass of water.

"Thank you for taking care of me" Castiel said as he lay back down on the pillow.

"It's my pleasure" Dean assured Castiel as he lay down next to him.

He let the pregnant man have a sip of water and then pulled him into a gentle embrace before they fell back to sleep wrapped up in each other's arms.

So, I don't really have a set in stone plot for this story. I have a few ideas, and I will mainly just focus on the progression of Cas' pregnancy. However, if there is something you would like to see happen the please let me know and I'll try to fit it in!

Thank you so much for reading. Feedback would be lovely if possible :) xx
