Chapter 14
When Sam and Dean got back from their hunt, Sam called a family meeting. He gathered the four of them around the kitchen table. Sam apologized for having gone a little crazy with the pregnancy stuff. He explained that he would feel better and be able to relax a little if they had a plan for the pregnancy, labor, delivery, and infant care. Sam was adamant that Kara not go hunting while pregnant, a precaution she readily agreed with. They decided that, given the fact that Kara wasn't entirely human, a hospital birth was out of the question. They figured that Cas was the best person to deliver the baby considering his angel healing ability. Sam had researched pre-natal care and midwife websites, he and Cas were soon deep in discussion making lists of vitamins and supplements and a calendar for check-ups. Instead of going to doctor visits, they decided that Cas would check Kara and the baby over with his angel mojo instead.
Six and a half months later Sam helped a very pregnant Kara into the passenger seat of the Impala, joining Cas in the back seat as Dean drove them to Topeka for some baby shopping. They had made a list of everything the baby would need in the first few months and planned on getting it all in at once. They bought clothes, onesies and pajamas, a few outfits as well as hats and socks. Dean insisted on picking out the outfits, muttering something about his nephew not being dressed like a dweeb. They got an infant car seat, again Dean insisted on picking it out since it was going to be in Baby. They bought a pack of newborn diapers and a case of diapers the next size up, as well as a diaper pail, wipes, lotion, powder, and ointment. They picked out a crib, sheets, blankets, a changing table, a rocking chair, a playpen and a swing. They bought burp clothes, bottles, bottle brushes, and formula (just in case). They got a baby monitor and a mobile of the solar system which Cas picked out. They got a baby bathtub, soap, washcloths, and hooded animal towels. They also picked out several toys, rattles, and baby books. There was no way all of this would fit in the Impala for the ride home, so Cas flashed the bigger items back to the bunker while they loaded the rest into Baby. When they got back to the bunker, Dean put on some music and the four of them spent the next few days assembling all the baby furniture and getting everything all set up and ready for the baby's imminent arrival.
Later that night, Sam lay in bed behind Kara. He massaged the muscles of her neck and back, like he did every night that he was home. Sam reached around to rub lotion onto her stomach when Kara put a hand over his and moved it further down. Sam gently caressed her core, finding that special spot and rubbing just the way she liked it. Her breathing hitched as the delicious pressure began to build. Sam eased a long finger into her wet heat, causing Kara to cant her hips back, pulling it further in. Sam withdrew his finger, replacing it with his cock and began a slow, gentle, rhythm. Sam wrapped his arms around her, gently cupping her breast in his right hand, palm lightly brushing the sensitive nipple. Kara reached a hand up behind her, tangling her fingers in Sam's hair. He placed open mouth kisses to the back of her neck, then trailing kisses across her neck and shoulder, teeth lightly scraping her collarbone, before claiming her lips. Sam licked at the seam of her lips and Kara opened them to let him in. His tongue moved slowly and lazily in and out of her mouth, in time with his thrusts. Soon they were both on the edge. Sam reached down with his right hand, fingers circling her clitoris, pushing her over the edge, joining her seconds later with a few quick thrusts.
The next morning Kara felt her lower back twinge as she sat down in the kitchen for breakfast. Dean had made a huge breakfast of waffles, bacon, sausage, and eggs. Kara heaped her plate with waffles smothered in fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and syrup. Cas explained that he wanted to keep a record of the next chapter of the Winchester Chronicles, producing a baby book he had purchased the day before. He had already filled in all of Sam's information so they ate happily while Cas began asking Kara about her parents' names and family details, writing it all down in the baby book.
Since the baby was due any day now, Sam and Dean had decided to stay close to home, not taking any cases for the time being. Dean took the opportunity to do some much needed maintenance on Baby in the garage, while Sam and Cas continued to research information and discuss the birth plan. Kara sat in the most comfortable chair she could find while reading Game of Thrones, it was one of Sam's favorites and he had gotten her hooked on it. She was amused at how the three men were dealing with the imminent arrival of the baby. They were all anxious, worried that something might go wrong, that something might happen to either Kara or the baby. This was a danger that could not be fought. All three were men of action, used to facing things head on. As a result, Dean couldn't seem to be still, constantly cooking, fixing things, or shooting at the range while Sam and Cas pored over information online and in books liberated from the public library in an attempt to arm themselves in the only way possible.
Kara sat trying to enjoy her book, frequently shifting to try and ease the ache in her lower back. It was late afternoon when she realized that the pain in her back seemed to be getting worse, it had become sharper and began pulsing in waves. She figured it was just the product of sitting so long in the chair and decided to get up and stretch her legs. After a quick stop in the bathroom, she made her way down to the garage to check in on Dean. Kara was halfway across the garage when she felt a popping sensation, then a small gush of warm fluid ran down her legs.
"Dean!" she called.
Dean immediately looked up from under the hood of the Impala, asking "What?"
"Either I just lost control of my bladder, or my water just broke," replied Kara.
Dean dropped his tools, rushing over to her side and helping her back across the garage and up the stairs to the main library. Kara had a hand on her abdomen, breathing heavily through a contraction when they entered the room as Dean yelled, "Baby's coming Sammy!"
Sam and Cas froze for a split second, the terrified looks on their faces mirrors of Dean's own. Then they sprang into action, Cas grabbing the birthing bag they had prepared while Sam quickly inflated an air mattress, covering it with a soft blanket. Then Sam helped her change into one of his shirts before lowering her down to the mattress. Cas checked her cervix, declaring her to be almost 3cm dilated. Cas then suggested that Dean get Kara something light to eat and drink to keep her hydrated and her strength up. Dean returned with a banana and a bottle of gatorade, which she took small bites and sips of in between contractions which had suddenly become much closer together and increasingly painful.
The pain was intense and Kara couldn't find a comfortable position. This went on for several hours as Sam kept massaging her back, whispering words of encouragement. Eventually Cas checked again to find that Kara was dilated to 10cm and the baby was crowning. "It's time, Kara," he said, instructing her to push during the contractions. She began to bear down, almost crushing Sam's hand in her grip. Not long after, the baby's head was out and Cas was gently maneuvering the shoulders out as well, then the torso and, with one final push the rest of the baby came out. Dean was at the ready with clean towels to help Cas rub the baby dry. Cas checked him over and declared him a perfectly healthy baby at 9lbs 3oz and 22 inches long. Cas clamped and cut the umbilical cord, then he and Dean wrapped the baby up before placing him in Kara's arms. She was leaning, exhausted against Sam's broad chest, grateful for the solid strength of him. Cas delivered and disposed of the afterbirth while Dean got some warm damp towels to wipe Kara clean with. Then Kara handed the baby over to Dean to hold while Sam picked her up to carry her to their bedroom. Once Sam had gotten Kara settled in the bed, Dean put the baby back into her arms.
"So, what's the little guy's name?" asked Dean.
Sam stroked the top of his son's head with a smile, "Robert Henry Winchester," he answered.
Kara looked down at her son in her arms and felt a tightness in her chest, in that moment she knew that her life would never be the same. She knew that she would spend the rest of her life keeping this little person happy and safe, that there was nothing she wouldn't do for him. For her son, she would happily burn the world.
