Happy Families – Chapter Nine

Dean awoke alone, but as he sat up on the mattress he heard Castiel vomiting upstairs, very loudly. He jumped up and threw on his underwear, racing upstairs. He banged on the bathroom door, louder than he intended as he heard Castiel gasping for air.

"Cas…You okay, Angel?

"It's open." Castiel replied, lifting his head weakly from the toilet bowl.

Dean rushed in and knelt by Castiel's side. He rubbed his lover's back, flinching as Castiel vomited again.

"Alright, Sweetheart…you're okay." Dean soothed as Castiel gasped for air. The former angel lifted himself away from the toilet and fell against Dean. He smiled weakly as Dean held him close.

"Sweetheart?" That's a nice name." He whispered as he shivered in Dean's arms.

"You alright, Cas?" Dean asked, kissing his angel's head tenderly.

"I am now, thank you." Castiel replied, "I need to shower."

Dean smiled.

"I'll leave you to it. I don't want to catch any germs if you've got a virus."

Castiel nodded and Dean helped him to his feet.


As Castiel dried himself off and slipped into the fresh clothes Dean had left for him, he turned to see his Father and jumped. He finally understood why Dean used to get annoyed when he appeared out of the blue.

"I have a surprise for you, Castiel." Jesus said with a smile.

"Hello to you too, Father." Castiel replied, embracing his father in a warm hug.

"Sorry," Jesus laughed, "Hello, Castiel."

"What's this surprise then?" Castiel asked as his father released him.

"You're pregnant, Castiel."

Castiel's eyes widened and he went very light headed all of a sudden. His legs buckled, causing him to fall into Jesus' arms.

"I can't believe it…" Castiel breathed, "I'm a human male…how is it even possible?"

"Excuse me," Jesus chuckled, "But I am Almighty Powerful."

Castiel, still in shock, thought for a moment.

"What do I do? How do I tell Dean? He's not ready for this!"

"Calm yourself, my Son." Jesus soothed as He helped Castiel to his feet, "If he loves you he will support you."

"What if he reacts badly?" Castiel asked, biting his lip and twiddling his fingers.

"Then I will speak with him. Go and tell him, Castiel. Congratulations."

With that, Jesus was gone, leaving Castiel to worry about telling Dean…


"Dean…" Castiel began, approaching his lover who was in the kitchen.

"Hey, Sweetheart. You feel better?"

Dean asked, looking at his lover.

"Yes…" Castiel lied, knowing full well Dean could see right through him.

"Alright, what's up?" Dean asked again, moving slowly towards Castiel who was going pale, and whose eyes were widening and filling with tears.

Castiel's lower lip, with the rest of his body began to tremble, and the tears threatened to escape the corners of his beautiful eyes.

"Dean, please don't be angry with me…" he begged, running a hand through his dark hair.

Dean stepped forward and took Castiel's hand in his own, tenderly locking fingers with his lover.

"Hey…hey just tell me what the matter is…" he whispered, gently cupping Castiel's cheek which was streaked with tears.

The former angel took a deep breath and let out a frightened sob.

"I-I'm pregnant, Dean…"

Dean laughed for a moment, but when he saw the fear and anxiety in Castiel's eyes, his laughter and smile faded.

"You're serious aren't you…" He stated, Castiel nodding.

It was then that Dean realised just how scared and upset Castiel was.

"Is he scared of me? My reaction…?" Dean thought to himself, "Damnit…it's what I said in the park…"

"Are you angry with me?" Castiel asked with a heartbreaking sob, "I'm so sorry, Dean…I never knew there was a chance of it! My Father told me it was a gift for us!"

Dean had heard enough.

He stepped closer to Castiel (if that was possible) and kissed him for all he was worth. Castiel gasped and smiled through his tears.

"We're really having a baby?" Dean asked, a beautiful smile gracing his face as tears filled his eyes.

Castiel smiled and nodded, unable to speak through his happy tears.

Dean sobbed with joy and held Castiel to his body so tightly the former angel coughed slightly.

"I'm gonna be a Daddy?" Dean asked, his hand moving to rest on Castiel's stomach.

"Yes…with me…" Castiel finally replied, "I love you, Dean Winchester."

"I love you too, Castiel." Dean countered, wrapping his arms lovingly around Castiel's waist.

Kissing, the pair moved into the living room and lay on the sofa, Dean resting above Castiel, both of them sharing slow, passionate kisses for what felt like an eternity.

"Do you feel ready for this, Dean?" Castiel asked, caressing Dean's cheek softly.

"I've never felt as ready for anything before…really I haven't." Dean replied, kissing Castiel's palm, "What about you, Cas?"

"Yes, I'm ready for this…"


As Bobby's van pulled up outside the Winchester home, everyone grinned as Dean and Castiel rushed outside. They all jumped out of the van and looked confused as to why Dean and Castiel were smiling so much.

"We're having a baby!" Dean yelled, everyone smiling widely.

Gabriel sprinted towards Castiel and hugged him tightly.

"That's fantastic news! Are you carrying?" she asked, Castiel nodding with a goofy grin on his face, "Good…I'll be your midwife then."

Lucifer stepped forward and then put his arms around his brother.

"Congrats, Baby Bro." he said with a genuine smile.

"Thank you, Lucifer." Castiel replied with a bigger smile.

"I'm gonna be an uncle?" Sam asked, hugging Dean.

"Yeah you are, Sammy." Dean replied, releasing his younger brother.

"Congratulations, Son." Bobby said with a smile, throwing his arms around Dean.


"Cas!" Sam called, "I've got you some pregnancy books!"

Sam had just run down to the mall with Gabriel to pick them up, while Dean and Castiel had a little more private time to get used to the fact that they were having a baby. Castiel appeared on the stairs and made his way down carefully, taking the bag of books from Sam.

"Thank you, Sam." He said, turning to his sister and kissing her cheek, "Thank you, Gabriel."

After checking through countless books to see what kind of food was going to be suitable for Castiel to eat during his pregnancy, Dean was able to make a decent dinner…ish…To Sam's delight, the meal was salad. Dean had made it so Castiel didn't feel as though he was being singled out of meals because he was pregnant, so the others ate it without complaint.


Following the meal, Dean and Castiel went to bed early. As Castiel got into bed, Dean wrapped a protective arm around his lover's stomach and kissed his cheek, before Castiel rolled onto his side and moved back against Dean, his eyes closing when the older Winchester pressed right up against him, and kissed his shoulder and the nape of his neck softly and lovingly. The former angel moaned softly and felt Dean's hand spread flat on his abdomen.

"Our baby…" Dean whispered into Castiel's ear, gently nibbling his ear lobe.

"Yes…our baby." Castiel replied, rolling over onto his back.

He had a thought and suddenly felt so sad he could've cried right then.

"What if I'm a bad father?" he asked, earning a shocked expression from Dean, "I've not done a particularly good job at being human so far…how am I meant to care for a baby?"

"Please tell me you're not considering an abortion…" Dean said, sitting up to look at Castiel properly.

"NO!" Castiel cried, sitting up so quickly it made his head spin, "No, not at all! I'm just scared I'm going to fail this baby."

"You are not going to fail this baby, Castiel." Dean assured him, kissing his forehead, "We're not going to be like my dad. We're gonna look after this baby and we'll do a damn good job, okay?"

Castiel smiled and his eyes sparkle.

"Yes, Dean…we will." He replied, kissing Dean lightly before the older Winchester settled back down beside him.

"C'mere," Dean whispered, taking Castiel into his arms, cradling him close to his chest, "Goodnight, Baby."

"Goodnight, Dean." Castiel replied, snuggling into Dean's hold and closing his big blue eyes.

The sound of Dean's beating heart lulled him off to sleep.
