Sam was discharged from the hospital with Tristan the next day and Cas still hadn't shown up. Dean had called Anna and both her and Rebekah were fine. She had been listening to Heaven and nothing about Cas. That got Dean thinking that Cas just ditched on his family. Why would he do that?
Even though Sam was a little sore, he wasn't sore enough that he couldn't drive. Anytime he could drive to Impala was going to. Dean was too big to drive so of course Sam took his opportunity. Sam had a huge smiled on his face and Dean just stared at him.
Sam glanced over at Dean and saw the stare. "What?"
"You're way too happy by driving the Impala. Happier than I am driving her."
"I'm taking advantage of you not being able to driving. I'm serious, I'm not having another kid. Cas, have another all he wants because his pregnancy was flawless. If being able to drive means you being pregnant you're having the kids if we decided have more have those two."
"If Cas does come back."
"What are you saying, baby?"
"Just think about it, hon. Cas vanishes right at the time we need him most. Anna has been listening to the angel and they are talking about Castiel. It's like he's not even there. Makes me think he's on Earth. It makes me think that he ditched us and our family."
"He didn't ditch us, Dean. Maybe he is locating Lilith. Or helping exorcise her. Maybe he's helping to protect a seal."
"He would tell us and he would be gone this long, Sam. Just think about it."
"I just don't want you to stress over this. Cas didn't ditch us. He wouldn't do that over his own family."
"I just want to get home."
"That's what we are doing. We are five minutes out. Can you hang in there for 5 damn minutes?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Did you try praying to Cas?"
"No, Sam. You know what I think of praying."
"Yeah, yeah, it's the same as begging. I know."
"I just want to get home and lay down, Sammy. You can go feed Tristan then rest."
"Just don't get too worked up over this. We need to get Tristan settled in before bringing two more home. You're due in 2 weeks. Let's keep it that way, alright?"
"I don't want them out just yet. I'm not ready. Believe me."
Sam pulled into their driveway and parked. Dean got out and walked directly into the house not even speaking with Anna before getting in bed and soon falling asleep and Sam slowly walking inside carrying his sleeping son in a carrier. Anna stood in the doorway holding Bekah with a bottle in her mouth.
Anna smiled as Sam approached her. "Hey, Sam. I'm glad to see you well."
"Thank you, Anna. I look like crap though."
"Well, you just had a baby. If he is anything like Rebekah, he will be adorable."
"He needs to grow some meat on them bones but still cute."
"He is. Is Dean ok? He just walked right past me and upstairs."
"Yeah, just a little stressed about Cas."
"Oh, yeah. I haven't heard anything from upstairs. I don't think he's up there. Where ever he is he doesn't want to be found."
Sam gave a big sigh. "That's not what I wanted to hear."
"What did you want to hear?"
"That Cas was in Heaven with the God Squad, doing something important to save the world. Now I'm think Dean was right."
"How was Dean right?"
"Maybe Cas just ditched the family."
"Why would he do that? He love you, Dean, Bekah, the new baby, and the not-yet-born-twins."
"But right as I go into labor I tell Cas, he just up and vanishes, leaving me to put Dean under pressure and drive me to the hospital when he is supposed to be in bed."
"Cas didn't ditch you and Dean or your family. He will come back soon."
"How do you know?"
"Because after a couple thousand years you get to know somebody. You have to remember, Sam. I was Castiel superior in his garrison."
"I hope you are right, Anna." Sam replied before walking towards the nursery. He set Tristan carrier down and unsnapped him and set the sleeping infant in the crib as Anna walked behind him and setting Rebekah in the crib beside Tristan.
"What is his name?" Anna whispered as they walked out of the nursery.
"Tristan Ross Winchester."
"That's a beautiful name."
"Thank you. Do you think you could watch over them for a while? I need to rest for a little."
"Of course. Sleep for a long as you want. You definitely need your rest and so does Dean. I will keep my ears opened for word on Cas."
"Thank you again, Anna."
"Don't mention it." Anna responded as Sam trudged to his, Dean, and Cas's room.
Anna turned and walked in the kitchen where Cas stood there. "You didn't tell them, did you?"
"I didn't, but Cas, you can't do this. I can't lie to them much more."
"I just need a little more time, Anna."
"Well, they are going to be pissed. Dean doesn't have much longer in his pregnancy and you completely missed Sam's labor and delivery when he really needed both his husbands."
"We are so close to finding Lilith and I just need time."
"If you aren't back before Dean does into labor with your babies. I'm going to start raising Hell."
"I will be back before then. I promise."
"You better."
Cas nodded and was about to fly away when Anna stopped him. "What?"
"The boy's name is Tristan Ross."
"That's beautiful name."
"It should have been me telling you."
"I know. It will all be better in the end. Think of the bigger picture."
"Whatever."
Cas flew away and Anna walked into the living room. This was going to end badly.
