Chapter 3

The day of the wedding was finally there and Dean, Cate and Sam were at their parents' house.

Mary had helped Cate with her dress, which was creamy white with a blue scarf around her stomach, what her baby bump really brought out of.

Cate wasn't the maid of honor but she was the one who hand over the rings.

Still her back hurts, it hurts a lot now and Cate can't even sit anywhere now.

But she also tired because of the lack of sleep.

She didn't tell anyone about that because she didn't want to ruin the wedding.

When she got down the stairs, she saw her brothers standing there, both in a black suit with white shirts.

They were breathless when they saw their sister in her dress.

Before Dean could even speak, the doorbell rang.

Gabe stood by the door and he took Sam with him.

Cate volunteer her Caslynn to be the wedding car and she already gave Cas the speech about it.

Dean and Cate took Baby with them and when they drove, Cate almost screamed in pain.

'Are you all right Cate?' Dean asked.

'I'll have to because there's no way I'm ruining this day' Cate said.

'You are on your feet since this morning and you think we don't notice that the pain in your back is worse now'

'I needed to finish the wedding cake and the pain is terrible'

They arrived at the place where Sam and Gabe would be married and after Dean parked his car, they walked to their spot .

All the guest were arrived and the ceremony began.

Everything went according to the book, although Cate struggled to her aching back to hide from the others.

After the ceremony, they all go to the restaurant and the cake was cut.

Jimmy was talking to Cas about Cate.

'Cas, you do know that Cate is already in labor now.'

'Is that so, because the gynecologist said it was normal to have pain in her back.'

'It is but this isn't a regular pain, those are contractions'

Cas looked at Cate, who couldn't sit anymore and was walking around.

Even when everybody said to her to sit, she was walking because that was the only way, she could deal with the pain.

Cate didn't even eat the cake and she was struggling with the pain.

Cas had packed her bag, just in case and put it in Cate's car.

Then Sam was throwing the bouquet and all the ladies who aren't married yet, were standing on the spot.

Cate stood there too and when Sam threw the bouquet, Cate caught it and not long after she screamed that her water broke.

Cas stood right behind her and took her to a chair, Dean called the hospital and Jimmy took the keys of Cas.

Dean, Jimmy, Cas and Cate left the party not long after.

After an hour, Cate was already in her ACDC shirt on the bed and the contractions became heavier.

She didn't want drugs and Cas stood by her.

Dean and Jimmy were in the waiting room, call the others to update them.

After half an hour, Cate was ready to push and Cas sat behind her, telling her that she was doing great and she have to hang on.

She got the sign to push and after 12 minutes, James Tristan Winchester-Novak was born.

Jamy looked just like Cate, brown hair and he had the blue eyes which became brown later.

Cas took the scissor and cut the navel cord.

After that Jamy was lying on his mother's chest packed in a baby blanket.

Cate looked at Cas and Cas looked at Cate before their eyes began to tear.

The nurse took Jamy and they weighed him and was measuring his height.

After that she clothed him and pulled him into a blanket, while Cate was having a shower.

After an hour, Cate was in her room with her son and Cas, when Dean and Jimmy came into the room.

When Dean took his nephew into his arms, some tears were on his cheeks.

Jimmy took a picture and send it to Gabe with the announcement that James Tristan Winchester-Novak was born on July 16 2004, time of birth 19:30, length 54 cm and weight 8 pounds.

When Gabe got the message, he took a mic and told the guests that Cate had given birth to a baby boy.

Everybody was happy for the newly parents and they all wrote something for them.

Mary and John left the party and went to the hospital to see their first grandson.

The next day Sam, Gabe, Jimmy, Amelia, Claire and Pam came to Cas and Cate's home to see their nephew.

Claire couldn't believe her eyes, Jamy was a beautiful baby.

Amelia told her to be careful with the baby because he's so fragile.

Cate looked tired and Cas walked to her and whispered something in her ear.

Cate walked to her bedroom and took a nap.

'Poor girl, she was up for 3 nights and she's exhausted' Amelia said.

Jimmy had Jamy in his arms and he was proud of Cate.

'Does her twin know about Jamy?' He asked.

'No, apparently Carol choose the side of her parents and she can't believe that Thomas was abusing Cate' Cas said.

'What about Luke, does he believe her parents too?' Gabe asked.

'Luke and Carol aren't together anymore because Luke didn't believe that crap story from her parents.' Cas said.

'And Luke joined the army 2 years ago, so we don't know where he is stationed and Cate has sent a text to him yesterday to tell him that Jamy was born'

'So she lost her twin for the second time' Pam said.

'Actually we weren't that close anymore after she came back, she knows that I didn't buy any crap from her anymore and she didn't like it because she was just as bad as her parents, so I wasn't sad when I "lost" her again.' Cate said when she walked into the living room.

'Shouldn't you be in bed ?' Dean asked.

'Nature calls and I need a bottle of water.' Cate said.

Cate walked to the kitchen and got the bottle before she got to the bathroom.

When she was out of ear sight, Amelia asked Cas about Cate and him.

Cas said that nothing was changed, that Cate and he didn't kiss each other and he doesn't know if they ever gonna be together again.

' She'll come around, Cas, when I just gave birth to Claire, I could not have affection for Jimmy but eventually that became good again.' Amelia said.

'That's not the same Amy, she let me sleep on the couch' Cas said.

'That's true, You and Cate are Jamy's parents but you two broke up before college and Cate is scared that you would leave her again.' Amelia said.

'It's just like senior year, let her know you'll be there for her again and she'll come around' Jimmy said.

'Yeah after the trial, that was three months after I knocked out that SOB' Cas said.

'But she loved you from the day that the whole school found out about her being abused.' Jimmy said.

Cas didn't know what to say after that and he took his son from his twin.

'We all know you still love her and she still love you but give her a couple weeks, three months top and you'll see' Amelia said.

After that the visitors left, giving the newly parents and the baby their rest.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Cate and Cas didn't have to send many birth cards to relatives and friends but they did send one to Thomas and Nicole after Cate had consulted with her lawyer about whether or not to send a card to them.

There was a note saying that they had this only chance to respond but they don't have the right to know their grandson.

Cas even send a card to his mother with the same note.

They all responded with congratulations and hoping that Cas and Cate both were doing better than they ever did.

Now it's been three months after the birth and Cas still sleeps on the couch.

He's thinking to go back at his own apartment, now that Zoey went back to her home.

Cate and he are fighting all the time, Cas wants to sleep next to her but Cate reject that.

Cas doesn't know what to do and he thinks about to ask for advice on this topic to Mary.

He called Mary and they talked about lighter topics before he asked her for advice.

Mary told him to go back at his apartment and hopefully Cate would come around.

Cas said he couldn't let Cate raise Jamy on her own.

Mary said that he always can help her whenever she need it.

Cas thanked Mary and he was packing his bag.

Not long after he wrote a note to Cate and walked out of her apartment.

When Cate woke up because Jamy was crying, she got up, go to the nursery, picked up Jamy and walked to the living room.

She puts Jamy in the playpen and walked to the kitchen to make a bottle.

When she fed Jamy, she noticed the note on the coffee table.

Jamy finished the bottle and Cate let him burp before she changed his diaper.

When she was finished, she puts Jamy in the playpen, made some coffee, sat on the couch with a cup of coffee and read the note.

On the note was written in neatly handwriting :

Dear Cate.

I'm going back to my apartment because after a year of sleeping on the couch (most of the time it was my choice because of Daphne) I want to sleep in a bed.

Don't worry, I'll still keep my promise, I'll be there for you and Jamy if you need it.

But we fight a lot Cate and that isn't good for Jamy.

I know I don't have patience with you and I'm sorry for that.

I love you and I don't know what to do now.

So I think about what's good for us and Jamy and this is for the best.

But that doesn't mean that I give up on us, I'm just giving you time to think about us.

But whatever you decide, I will always love you and will always be there for you and Jamy.

I'll be waiting for you until you tell me what your decision is.

Love you

Castiel.

Cate was crying, she didn't want Cas to leave but she couldn't let Cas in.

Cate wasn't happy with her body after the pregnancy and she was on a diet and going to the gym to have her figure back.

She had almost her figure back and despite the stretch marks, she had again a sexy body.

She couldn't bother about that, her body wasn't exactly free from scars before the pregnancy.

But she had to do this before she let Cas know that she want to be with him for the rest of her life.

After she finished her coffee, she gave Jamy a bath and she took a shower.

Then she and Jamy went to the bakery, where Cate could do the things she liked.

That evening, Cas came to babysit Jamy when Cate was going to the gym.

It was awkward and Cate left the apartment to go to the gym.

Cate didn't like strength or cardio training and she was not the type for aerobics.

Cate decided after six weeks to go on street dance and did some cardio on the side.

Cate was letting everything go when she was dancing.

After that, her personal trainer Carlo was measuring her waist line and her weight.

She had her figure back and she didn't have to do Cardio anymore.

Cate thanked Carlo for his faith in her and after a shower, she went home.

When she got home, she saw Cas on the couch, singing a lullaby for Jamy.

She walked to the couch and she said she was home.

Cas looked at her and saw that Cate wasn't wearing the usual hoodie and sweatpants.

Cate was wearing a black tight jeans with a very sexy black shirt, showing her sexy body.

Her hair was wet and Cas in medically knew that Cate was insecure about her body after she gave birth to Jamy.

Cas stood up and walked to the nursery to put Jamy in his crib.

Meanwhile Cate was taking two soda cans out the fridge and gave one to Cas when he came back.

Cas opened the can and took a sip before he said: 'Why didn't you tell me, you didn't want me to see your body after Jamy was born.'

Cate looked at the counter and said: 'I was insecure, I have some stretch marks and my body was hanging.'

'So what, we both know why and I never would say something about it'

'I know Cas but I didn't feel sexy anymore and I wanted to be a sexy mom, like I always said'

'You are a sexy mom, even when you have some loose skin'

'Well my breasts are still bigger than before'

'Oh yeah, you didn't have that much before but I like it a lot better'

'Yeah me too Cas'

'So what happens now?' Cas asked her.

Cate walked to him, put her arms around his waist and said: 'Castiel Novak, I'm still loving you and I want you to be in my life, if you want it too.'

'Do I have to move out and move back in here ?'

'No you don't have to, we'll take it slow on that department'

'Cate are you telling me that we are together now?'

'No how could you think about that?' Cate said sarcastic 'Of course I mean that silly'

Cas smiled and put his arms around her, looking into her eyes as they both close the distance between their lips.

The kiss was sweet and familiar first and after that Cas begged for entrance with his tongue and Cate complied .

Cas deepened the kiss and Cate moaned to the kiss.

Cas felt himself getting hard but even if he want to make love to Cate, he broke the kiss and said that they couldn't do that.

'Why not ?' Cate asked.

'Well I know I always wanted two or three kids and all the sappy things but it's too soon to have another baby.'

'Cas I have an IUD placed six weeks ago, so I can't get pregnant'

'And you didn't even tell me that?'

'You knew that I was going to the doctor for consulting birth control but I didn't know that they placed one on the same day.'

Cas smiled and he kissed her again.

'But still, it's too soon, you know I'm a kind of old fashion and would like to take you on a date first.'

'Just like our very first date ?'

'Yes but I won't take you bowling, I rather take you to the movie'

'Can we eat a burger instead of going to a restaurant ?'

'Sure Cate, I'm not a fan of it either'

'When ?'

'This Friday ?'

'I'll have to find a babysitter for Jamy'

'Kid have 3 uncles, one aunt and his grandparents who loved to babysit'

'I know but Mom's always going to her book club, Dad is working late, most of the time, Dean is working late too, Pam is doing the administration and our younger brothers are having the "Friday evening tradition".'

'Well you just ask and if they all are occupied, than we call that babysitting central.'

'That we can do'

They smiled at each other and kissed.

AN: I was making the wedding and the birth a little shorter because the wedding wasn't the main story and nobody wants to read the whole birth scene.

The way Cate gave birth to her son is based on my own birth of my son.

Only the place and what I was doing isn't the same as Cate's.

And the date of birth aren't the same too

Now enough about that and hope you liked it.

Reviews are welcome.
