Ch. 10

A month had gone by since Meg returned & like Cammy said, she & Castiel were joined at the hip. Just like before, Castiel traveled separate from Sam & Dean in his own car. Meg was impressed with how much he had learned in the two years after she died. He finally understood her many references & he even learned to take care of himself & fight without having to use his powers. His time as a human had done him good.

Time was so slow sometimes, but consciously waiting made it even worse. Distracting herself was hard but eventually she could only focus on the ticking of the clock in their hotel room & how she was going to tell Castiel her news. When the door opened, Meg restrained herself from rushing to him and kissing him. He took a drink of his coffee & offered Meg hers but she declined.

"Meg is everything okay?" He asked

"Yeah, why?"

"You sent me to get coffee & donuts & now you don't want to drink it." He set everything down on the small table by the window.

"Clarence," she whispered.

It was rare that Castiel heard a hint of fear in her voice, "What is it? Is everything okay?"

"I'm not sure,"

"Meg just tell me,"

"I'm pregnant."

Castiel had on a surprised face. "You're pregnant?" Meg nodded. "Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure, I've taken a test every morning for the last four days. I'm pregnant."

"I'm going to be a father…" He held her head in his hands, kissed her forehead before kissing her on the lips, then embraced her tightly. "I can't believe we're going to be parents."

"Me neither, you know what this means don't you?"

"We have to learn how to change diapers?" He asked making a face,

"Besides that, it means this is the true hybrid, remember Cam said it was supposed to be a boy & when an angel mates with a human the sex of the baby is the same as the angel parent,"

"But you're not human, this baby could be a girl." Castiel tried to argue.

"My body ishuman, I think this kid might be it."

"We have to tell Camael, maybe she can help us figure out what to do."

"That's going to be a whole day's drive."

"Then we better get going,"

Cammy was surprised when Meg & Castiel knocked on her door. Usually they just zap inside the apartment. "Meg, Cas, what's going on?"

"Something's happened," Meg said.

"What?"

"Meg's pregnant," Castiel said.

"Come in," She let them in & they sat in the living room. "I guess it was bound to happen,"

"Cam, we need to know, is this kid the true hybrid?" Meg asked.

"It is," She confirmed.

"You knew it was supposed to be us didn't you?" Castiel accused.

"I did but so did Crowley, that's why he killed Meg after the angel tablet was found. He needed her to find it but wanted to kill her before you got her pregnant. He knew that after you guys would give the tablet to Sam & Dean & you two would order in a pizza."

"Are you saying this kid should've been born over a year ago?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying."

"How did Crowley even know we were chosen for this?"

"He found the plans Lucifer & God wrote. It said you two were chosen & would fall in love. He had seen how you two were around each other. It even said when the hybrid would be conceived. If Crowley wanted to make sure I was the only hybrid then he had to keep the real one from being born & obviously it's easier for him to kill another demon than to kill an angel."

"So what do we do?"

"If you're scared for your baby you know I'm here to help. You two are strong & you can protect it plus with my help my little cousin will be the safest kid that ever lived."

"What do we do?" Meg asked again.

"That depends on you, do you want to keep hitting the road or live as civilians for a while?"

Castiel & Meg glanced at each other. "Civilian life might do us some good for a while. It'd be dangerous hunting with a pregnant woman."

"Hey, I can take care of myself you know," Meg said insulted.

"I know but we've got a child to protect."

"He's got a point Meg, you're a demon but you have a human body. There's always a risk of miscarriage."

"Okay, I'll be a civilian."

"Okay, you guys can stay here until I find you a place to live & I'll set you up with a doctor. I'm going to take care of you guys, don't worry."

"Cammy that all sounds expensive."

"Hey, money isn't an issue for me & you two are family."

"Thank you," They said together.

"Cammy who are you talking to?" Adam asked coming out of the shower. "Who are they?"

"This is Meg & Castiel,"

"The demon & angel?"

"Yeah,"

"How did you escape the cage?" Castiel asked.

"Cammy got me out."

"Look guys, since you're here we could always have more witnesses."

"Witnesses to what?" Meg asked.

"We're going to Vegas this weekend to get married."

"Who exactly is this guy?" Meg asked.

"Adam Milligan,"

"He's Sam & Dean's brother," Castiel added.

Meg raised her eyebrows, "There's a third Winchester?"

"Technically yes but I have my mom's last name. I didn't meet dad until I was twelve & I only saw him a few times a year."
