First off, I know its short and there's not any action in this chapter. Consider it a short filler chapter. Second, I really really need to thank Tears And Rain because if it wasn't for her I would not have been updating every day and I wouldn't have stayed on top of this. So thanks! And lastly, thanks for all of you who have reviewed, and alerted this story *Hugs You*
Enjoy!
Chapter 9
Dean came downstairs looking for Cas and found him in the kitchen standing over the stove reading the back of a box and rubbing his back.
"Baby, what are you doing?"
"Good morning, Dean. I wanted to make you breakfast."
Dean noticed how Cas kept rubbing his back, "Thanks for the thought, Cas, but I think you need to be resting. Looks like your back is killing you again."
"It's nothing, Dean. I wish to do something that will make you happy."
"Cas, you make me happy every day. You don't need to strain yourself by making breakfast for me to be happy."
Dean removed the box from Cas' hands and guided him to the table. Dean smiled when he looked at his very pregnant husband. He never thought anyone could make him happy as much as Cas does. Dean waited until Cas was situated in the seat comfortably and then went to the stove to make Cas his morning tea. He thought about all the shit he had gone through in his life and about how often then he thought his life didn't mean anything, but as he looked at Cas, he realized that his life was finally worth something. The tea kettle went off and he poured the water into a cup and handed it to Cas with the honey.
"Thank you, Dean."
"You're welcome, Cas. What would you like for breakfast?"
"Um, I don't know. How about we ask the little ones?"
Dean chuckled and bent down to face Cas' belly, "Well, little ones, what do you want for breakfast? We have eggs? Or how about some pancakes with butter and strawberries?"
Cas suddenly felt a kick, "Looks like pancakes with butter and strawberries is the winner."
Dean chuckled and placed a kiss on Cas' lips, "Alright then."
"Gabe, get off you're squishing me," Sam mumbled.
"Thought you liked having me on top of you."
"Not when you're seven months pregnant, idiot. You could hurt the baby."
"Oh, so it's only the baby you care about. I see how it is," Gabe teased.
"Shut up, Gabe, you know I love you."
"Right. Don't you hafta work today?"
"It's Saturday. What do you and the little munchkin want for breakfast?" Sam asked sliding out of bed and putting on a pair of jeans.
"Whatever you mind cooking, Sammy."
"How about some eggs and toast?"
"Sure," Gabe said heading to the bathroom.
"Meet me downstairs when you're done," Sam said making his way downstairs.
Sam grabbed several eggs and cracked them in a bowl. As he was mixing the eggs his mind wandered to when he first met Gabe. He remembered how he and Dean attempted to kill him when they first met because they thought he was a trickster. Then he remembered how he had hated Gabe when he constantly made Dean die over and over again. He never forgot that. But then he remembered all the good and kind things Gabe did that made Sam fall in love with him.
"Sam, you gonna cook those eggs?"
Sam was brought out of his daydream by Gabe's voice, "Oh, guess I forgot."
Gabe chuckled and sat down rubbing his back, "What were you thinking about?"
"Not much, just remembering when we first met. Your back still hurts?"
"Yeah, but it's alright. Its gonna hurt, just have to get used to it."
"Right," Sam said as he went back to cooking the eggs.
Dean chuckled when he came out the bathroom to find Cas asleep on the couch. He gently shook his husband.
"Cas, c'mon wake up."
"What's wrong?" Cas said sleepily opening his eyes.
"Nothing, I just wanna get you upstairs in the bed. It'll be more comfortable than the couch."
"But, I'm fine here."
"Cas, you're gonna have a sore neck and back later. C'mon," Dean said placing his hand on Cas' arm. He felt a slight kick.
"You two want me to leave him here, huh?" Dean asked.
There was another kick and Dean chuckled. He went to the closet and pulled out a blanket and covered Cas with it.
That afternoon Dean and Cas were cuddling on the couch watching The Notebook which had become Cas' favorite movie when the doorbell rang. Dean groaned but moved out of Cas' embrace to go answer it.
"Hey, Sam, hey, Gabe."
"Hey, Dean. Busy?"
Dean shook his head, "No. Cas and I were just watching The Notebook. Come on in. What's with the bag?"
"Nothing," Sam said as he walked past Dean and into the living room. "Hey, Cas."
Cas just waved to him not taking his eyes off the screen.
"Hey, bro can we pause this for a minute?" Gabe asked.
"Noo! This is the best part."
Dean looked at the screen, "its okay Gabe, the movie's almost over. Just give it a few minutes."
Dean took his place by Cas' side just as Cas started crying as the movie ended. Dean just rubbed his back and made shushing noises. He was used to this every time they watched The Notebook. Sam just smiled and Gabe shook his head.
"Shut up, Gabe," Cas said wiping his eyes.
"I didn't say anything."
"Of course you didn't say anything. You thought it."
"So anyway, Gabe and I went to the store and we brought you guys something," Sam said handing the bag over to Dean.
Dean took the bag and opened it. He pulled out several wrapped packages.
"Dean, where are the presents for Sam and Gabe?"
"Upstairs. I'll get them," Dean said when Cas made an attempt to move. He ran upstairs and got the few presents that he and Cas bought and handed them to Sam.
"Wow, thanks. Okay you guys open yours first."
Dean handed a present to Cas and he opened it. Inside there was a set of pink onesies. The top one read "Daddy's Little Princess". Dean opened the next present and found two dresses one white and one pink. The white one said "Daddy's Little Rockstar" while the pink one just had hearts all over it. Dean handed the last present to Cas which he opened to find two sets of coats and hats and gloves. Dean turned to Cas.
"I take it where having girls." Cas nodded. "Alright Sammy, you're turn."
Sam handed the first present to Gabe which opened to reveal a set of black and blue onesies. The top one read "Dad's Little Mechanic". Sam laughed. Sam opened the next present to reveal a shirt and short set. The shirt read "Super Boy". The last present that Sam opened had a set of ball caps.
"Does this mean that we're having a son?" Sam asked.
Gabe nodded, "Thanks guys."
"No thank you."
Just then the doorbell rang again and Dean went to answer it. It was Bobby carrying some rather large boxes.
"What's with the boxes, Bobby?"
"Let me in and you will see."
Dean moved from the door way and Bobby entered.
"I stopped at a store and picked up a few things you guys needed for the babies. Like car seats and these are for the cribs that you boys are gonna help me put together."
Sam and Dean grinned, "Aww, thanks, Bobby."
TBC...
Max: That was cute.
Me: I'm skipping ahead. Next chapter, hopefully, will be when they give birth.
