*Hey guys! Soooo sorry for the long wait, it's been freaking crazy...
"Dean!? Dean!" I hollered from the living room, "what?" Dean asked running in. "I think we should put up the Christmas decorations today. It's nice out and we both have the day off." I said craning my neck so I could see him. "Jesus Cas. Don't yell like that, you scared me and okay, I'll go grab the shit out of the attic." Dean said once he was convinced I was okay.
"I don't know why or how we have so many Christmas decorations." Dean grumped while we were digging through the boxes and I just threw packing peanuts at him. 2 hours later we finally got everything up the tree was decorated; "looks good." I sighed contently snuggling closer to Dean. I must have fallen asleep because I woke up to Dean yelling at Mary; "Mary stay away from the tree!… God damn it Mary Elizabeth, what did I just say!?"
I sat up and saw Mary running away from the tree giggling while Dean started picking up ornaments. "We should put the baby gates around it." I said startling Dean, "shit Cas. Don't do that! Yeah, the baby gates would be a good idea. But what are we gonna do bout the stairs?" Dean asked putting the ornaments back on the tree. "I'll figure something out." I said getting up to use the bathroom.
"Hey Cas, Sammy just called, he wants me to go with him shopping. I'll be back around dinner time. Do you want me to bring anything home for dinner?" Dean asked me when I came out of the bathroom. "I don't care, nothing spicy. My stomachs doing flips right now." I said making my way to the living room; "oh, do you wan't me to stay home?" "No, I'll be fine, just bring me back one of those giant brownies they have at the mall." I smiled and kissed Dean before he left.
I had just gotten Mary down for a nap and I was half way down the stairs when the doorbell rang twice. "For the love of christ! I swear whoever it is wakes up Mary, I will personally rip their heads off." I growled to myself and hurried to the door. I opened it right as Gabriel was about to ring the bell again; "Gabriel! I swear, if you ring that doorbell one more fucking time, it will be the last thing you do." I growled catching him by surprise.
"Okay, okay. Sorry, down mama bear." Gabe said with his hands up in surrender; "sorry, I just put Mary down and she's a disaster if she doesn't get a nap." I said moving so Gabe could come in. "What's up?" I asked once we were settled in the living room, "nothing Charlie sent me home early cuz I was annoying her and I didn't want to be alone." Gabe said. "Where's Dean?" He continued to ask absently rubbing the growing bump.
"Went shopping with Sam, should be home in a few hours." I said "hey, you gotta help me come up with a solution to block off the stairs, we had to put the baby gates up around the tree so Mary wouldn't mess with it." I said, "no but you could do what we did at the house, before we were kicked out." Gabe suggested. "What did we do?" I asked "right, you wouldn't remember. We put chicken wire around the tree cuz you would try to open everyone's presents." "Good idea, I'll call Dean." I said going to the kitchen where I left my phone.
"Hey baby, what's up?" Dean answered on the third ring, "Not much, are you still at the mall?" "Yeah, why?" "I need you to pick up enough chicken wire so we can wrap it around the tree like a fence. Gabe said we used to do it when I was little. That way we can put the gates back on the stairs." "That's actually a really good idea. But the way this day is going, I need a beer, so I was thinking we could go to the Roadhouse." Dean suggested. "That's fine. Don't forget my brownie." Dean laughed "I won't see you later, love you." "Love you too." I said and hung up. "I heard something about brownies." Gabe said coming into the kitchen. "Yeah, I told Dean to get me one of those big brownies they have at the mall." I said getting the things to make tea.
A few hours later, Mary was watching 'The Little Mermaid' and I was sitting on the couch reading with Squirt curled up at my feet when the door opened. Dean came into the living room with his arms full of bags, "uh, get enough at the mall?" I asked putting my book down. "Well most of this is from s-a-n-t-a." Dean spelled so Mary wouldn't get curious. "Oh, well I still think you went a little overboard." I chuckled and took a few bags from him.

"Well look what the cat dragged in!" Ellen yelled from behind the bar when she saw us come in. "Hey Ellen." Dean greeted and we made our way to a booth; Ellen came over shortly after, "hello miss Mary." Ellen said and Mary turned her head away and hid her face in Dean's shoulder, "sorry, she's a little cranky because I wouldn't let her bring Squirt. She wouldn't even let me buckle her in." I said taking her and Dean's coat and putting it on my side of the booth. "Aw, well what can you do? Now, Dean do you want a beer?" "Yes please." "Alright, Cas what can I get ya? Iced Tea's fine. Then just water for Mary with a straw please." I said
"Okay, do you know what you want, Dean I already know you want your special. Cas what about you honey?" Ellen asked "Um, bacon cheese burger then loaded fries, but instead of fries can they be onion rings?" I asked "Dude, that's disgusting." Dean said making a face, "shut up, you know I get weird cravings." I glared "of course you can Cas, now Mary do you want chicken nuggets?" Ellen asked and Mary nodded her head.
Ellen returned about 10 minutes later with our food and then sat next to me in the booth. "So, Cas. How are you feelin'?" "Pretty good. I'm finally over the morning sickness." I said patting my stomach lightly. We talked for a while as we ate; when our conversation turned to more Christmasy things Dean brought up that we were taking Mary to the mall tomorrow to see Santa. "Yay Santa!" Mary squealed, "well you better take a picture." Ellen said, we told her we would and she went back to work.
Mary was passed out by time we got home so Dean carried her up the stairs and put her to bed and we both passed out shorty after. I woke up at 6:30 with my stomach rolling, I lurched out if bed and made it to the bathroom just in time to puke up last nights supper. "Cas? Baby you okay?" Dean asked as he crouched down to rub my back. "I thought you were done with your morning sickness." "I am. I don't know I guess all the greasy food didn't agree with me." I said and to prove my point I puked again. "Maybe we should just stay home." Dean said getting up to get a cold wash cloth, "no, today's the last day to get pictures with Santa, go ahead and take Mary, I'm just going to stay in bed." I said standing up and flushing the evidence away.
"Are you sure?" Dean asked rubbing the cool cloth on the back of my neck, "yes, I know Mary's excited to see Santa." I said and buried my face in Dean's neck. "Alright then, crawl back in bed, I'll make you some tea." Dean said and I crawled back under the covers and fell asleep quickly. Next time I woke up there were tiny feet pressed against my back I looked over to see a sleeping Mary, laying sideways with her feet up the back of my shirt. I couldn't help but laugh at the sight, "good, you're up." I looked over at the door to see Dean coming in with a mug of tea in his hands, "I was going to bring this to you earlier but by time I got out of the bathroom you were already out. Then Mary woke up and demanded she lay next to you." Dean chuckled and set the mug down and kissed my forehead.
"Hmmm, what time is it?" I asked carefully removing the feet from my back and slid up to the headboard; "8:30, I was going to wake Mary and give her a bath before we left. Do you still want to stay home?" Dean asked, "yeah, I better. My stomach's still flipping a little." I said and took a sip of the tea. "Okay, Mary sweetie, come on time to wake up." Dean said softly pushing Mary's hair away from her face causing her face to scrunch up and she whimpered softly and her eyes fluttered open. "Come on baby girl, let's get you in the bath so we can go see Santa." Dean said softly scooping her up and just walked to our bathroom.
I slid out of bed and walked into the bathroom right as Dean was putting Mary in. "Mama we see Santa!" Mary smiled "yes baby, you and daddy are going to go see Santa today." I said closing the lid on the toilet so I could sit down. "Mama not going?" Mary asked tilting her head to the side, "no, mama doesn't feel good so I'm going to stay home." I said. Dean finished giving Mary a bath, wrapped her in a towel and carried her to her room.
20 minutes later they were out the door and I decided to catch up on some shows on NETFLIX. I was about half way through the newest episode of Ghostfacers when the front door opened, "Cassie? You home?" I heard Gabe call out, "living room!" I yelled and Gabe came in and plopped down in the recliner and Squirt jumped onto his lap. "Jesus Cassie, I don't know how you do this, especially twice." Gabe groaned, "do what?" "Deal with all the freaking hormones, puking all the time, and look at me, I'm huge!" He whined.
"Gabe, we are roughly the same size right now, trust me, you're going to get much bigger, you should be lucky. I have two babies, which mean's I'm going to be at least two time bigger than I was with Mary." I said "And besides, you're only 4 months along, you're not that big." We were quiet after that and around 12 Dean had sent me a picture of a very happy Mary sitting on Santa's lap, so in return I sneakily took a picture of Gabriel stuffing his face with popcorn and sent it to Dean reading, rather be there, instead I have to deal with this lol.
Dean replied yeah, wish you were here too. How ya feelin? Better, been keeping it easy with what I eat. When will you be home? Bout an hour, need me to pick anything up? No, just drive carefully. Love you. Okay baby, love you too. "What's got you smiling like a teenaged girl?" Gabe teased so I showed him the picture of Mary on Santa's lap. "Well ain't that cute, little creepy but cute." Gabe said handing me my phone. "Creepy? How's it creepy?" "Come ooonnn Cas, an old man dressed up like Santa and has a bunch of little kids sit on his lap and he asks them if they've been naughty this year. Little pervy if you asks me." Gabe said shoving more popcorn into his mouth. "What ever." I grumbled.

The next day I was in the laundry room checking Dean's pockets before putting them in the washer knowing that he leaves things in there when I pulled out a receipt. I unfolded the receipt and looked at it feeling like ice water had been shot into my veins. It was a receipt from the jewelry store at the mall for an engagement ring. Why would Dean be buying a engagement ring?! I started getting nervous and a little pissed, I threw the rest of the laundry into the washer and stormed out of the laundry room and found Dean stretched out on the couch.
"Dean Winchester. Is there something you'd like to explain?!" I said blocking his view from the tv, "uhh no?" Dean said looking at me like I grew a second head. "Then explain this." I said and threw the receipt at him; "shit, okay Cas. It's not what you think I swear." Dean said standing up, "mmhmm. Please, explain." I said crossing my arms. Dean sighed deeply "alright, I'm going to tell you something, but you can not tell anyone. Promise?" Dean asked throwing the receipt on the table, "I'm listening."
"Okay, Sammy's going to propose to Jess at Christmas, he gave me the money to put on my card so I could buy it so incase Jess looked at their statement she wouldn't see it." Dean said and I could tell in his eyes he was telling the truth. "Oh my god, that's so exciting!" I smiled and kissed Dean on the cheek, "I was starting to freak out." I chuckled.
Two day's later we were headed to Bobby and Ellen's for Christmas, Mary had already opened all her gifts from Santa and currently had the teddy bear that was under the tree clutched in her hands. "Hey guys!" Jo greeted us at the door and ushered us in, "hey Jo, Merry Christmas." I said and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Everyone was seated in the living room and you could tell Sam was nervous, by time it was time to eat Sam barely touched his food.
Once we were done Jess finally confronted him, "Sam, what's going on? You've been a nervous wreck all day, I'm sure everyone can smell it waving off you and you barely ate." "Okay, uh I guess now's the time." Sam said quietly and stood up. "Jessica, I love you more than anything, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Sam said and kneeled in front of her, "Sam?!" Jess gasped as he pulled out a small box and revealed a gorgeous diamond ring, "Jessica? Will you marry me?" Sam whispered. "Oh my god, yes! Yes, yes, yes!" Jess squealed and threw her arms around him and everyone cheered.
It's been a week since the proposal and we were having a celebration/New Year's Eve party at the Roadhouse. Missouri was watching Mary for the whole night so Dean and I could stay as long as we wanted. There was lots off food and of course lots of drinks but Gabe and I sticked to water. "Alright everyone 15 seconds to go!" Ash yelled and started counting down, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone shouted and exchanged kisses and hugs Dean pulled me in for a deep kiss. "Happy New Year Cas." Dean said "Happy New Year Dean." I whispered back and kissed him again.
An hour later I coaxed a very drunk Dean into the passenger side of the Impala and we headed home. Once the light turned green I pulled out, suddenly the Impala was spun around and there was a loud crash and then everything went black.
*Yeah, uh... I'm just going to hide now... Don't hurt me. I'll try my hardest to get the next update up soon, but it's going to be at least January before I can get it up... So yeah...
