Dean looked down at the infant again. She was Castiel's daughter. That was so weird for the hunter to even consider.
Deziela gave Dean a soft coo. The man couldn't help a smile for her.
"Well, hello there, Dezi. Are you and your daddy gonna stay with me and Sammy?" Dean's voice was soft and gentle. The baby blinked up at him and then looked to her celestial parent.
"I figured it would be the safest place for her." Cas removed the infant from his friend's arms.
"Fair enough. But save your grace, I'll drive you there." Dean pulled onto the road, heading back home.
Several miles down the road, Dean glanced at Cas and Dezi to find them both asleep. His friend looked very tired, more worn than he'd last been. Dean frowned as he turned his gaze back to the road. Castiel wasn't doing as well as he claimed.

Dean parked Baby, turned off the engine and looked at the sleeping angel. The hunter got out of the car, closing his door, and went around to the passenger side door.
Sam stepped from the building, "Hey, Dean."
Dean gave his brother a wave as he opened the door. He gently shook Cas's shoulder, "Bud, we're here."
Castiel's eyes blinked open slow. The angel took a look around before he nodded and frowned. Cas looked down at the sleeping infant.
"Hey, don't worry about it, I've got her, okay? You just head in and get some sleep." Dean said, picking up the infant and murmuring, "Hello there, angel."
"Why're we housing an infant, Dean?" Sam asked as his brother approached.
"Don't glare, this one's not my fault." Dean said, "Where'd you said up the crib?"
"Room next to yours." The younger man sighed.
"Okay." Dean went that way.
Castiel walked in a sleepy haze into the building. Sam followed after locking the door. Luci's former vessel leaned against the door frame of the newly dubbed nursery.
"Are you planning on saying what's on your mind or to just glare at me?" Dean asked.
"What're we doing with a baby if it's not yours?"
"Deziela is Cas's."
"Um, what?"
Dean shrugged. Sam gaped. The former made sure the baby was settled into the crib and checked that the baby monitor functioned. The boys left the room.
"So, I'm guessing Cas and the baby sidetracked you from your drinks." Sam said.
"Yeah, but it's not a big deal." Dean shrugged, "I'm gonna hit the hay. Night, Sammy."
Sam watched as Dean walked down the hall, so confused, "Night, Dean."
