"I'm just saying Cas. I don't like her." Dean said while they were getting ready for school. "Dean, she's harmless." Cas sighed picking up his bag, "I don't care! Cas, I have a bad feeling about her." Dean argued, "Dean! She's my friend, just please give her a chance." Cas pleaded, "yeah, and she's also your ex girlfriend!" Dean almost shouted, grabbing pop tarts out of the cupboard and headed to the Impala.
Dean was in a grumpy mood practically the whole day, he was somewhat happy when he hand't seen Amelia at all in the halls. But that went down the drain, they were sitting at lunch when a chair pulled up right next to Cas'. "Um hello?" Charlie said eyeing Amelia, "Hi. Hey Cas." She smiled and Dean let out a quiet growl that only Charlie, Benny, and Cas heard.
Cas just gave him a pleading look and Charlie and Benny could practically feel the tension in the air. "Hi Amelia, how's your first day going?" he asked, "pretty good, I'm kinda said I don't have any classes with you yet." she said and Dean almost choked on his juice, Benny thumped him on the back and he mumbled a 'thanks'.
"Well the day's not over. Do you have your schedule?" Cas asked and looked it over when Amelia handed it to him, "well, looks like we have chemistry and english together." Cas smiled handing it back. "Awesome! So, who are you?" She asked looking at Charlie and Benny, "I'm Charlie, and that's Benny." Charlie said a little coldly. "Oh… Where's Gabe, he's a senior right?" she asked. "Yeah, uh not exactly sure where he is." Cas said. Dean's appetite went away so he got up and decided to work a little on yearbook in Bobby's room.
"What's his deal?" Amelia asked when Dean stormed off, "I'm not sure." Cas said and jumped when Charlie kicked him under the table. "I'll find him. I'm pretty sure I know where he went." Charlie said giving Cas the stink eye. "I'll come with you red." Benny said.
"Seriously Cas, your friends seem a little stuck up." Amelia stated, "they are not stuck up, they're just concerned about Dean. In fact I should probably go find him." he said moving to get up, "hey, those two went after him, he'll be fine." she said grabbing for his arm. "No, Amelia. Look, I really do want to be your friend but I can't when Dean doesn't like me being with you, so until you can be nice and accept what's between Dean and I, I suggest you keep your distance."
Cas walked out of the cafeteria and headed towards Bobby's room, "Cas, wait!" Amelia called out chasing him down the hall, "look I'm sorry, I do want to be friends and I hope Dean can give me a chance." she said quietly, "I'll talk to him, just give us a few days." Cas said and continued walking down the hall.
Cas knew that Charlie and Benny only said they were going to go find Dean so he would, so when he found him in Bobby's he was alone. "Dean?" he asked softly, "m'fine. Leave me alone." Dean said working on a page for the yearbook. "No, come on. Talk to me." he said pulling a chair next to his, since he was on the big computer behind Bobby's desk.
"What's there to talk about? You're starting to ditch your friends, your fucking mate because of some girl." Dean snapped. "That's not true." Cas said offended, "really? Because it seemed like as soon as she sat down, we disappeared Cas." Dean said, eyes becoming wet. "Dean, baby I'm not trying to ignore you guys. I promise… Amelia told me that she really does want to be friends with you and I, all she asks is for a chance." Cas said reaching out to touch Dean's arm but he yanked it away.
"No." Dean said quietly, "what?" "I said no Cas! I don't like here, she gives me bad vibes and I don't like you hanging out with her. I don't want to be one of those people who tell their boyfriends who and who not to hang out with but your giving me no choice." Dean said his voice breaking at the end. "Come here." Cas said quietly, helping him to stand. He gently took Dean's glasses off and set them on the computer desk and pulled Dean into his arms. Dean's nose was pressed into Cas' neck and Cas carded his fingers through Dean's hair and held him tight. "I wont continue to talk or see Amelia if you don't want me too." Cas whispered, and he felt wetness on his neck indicating that Dean's hormones got the best of him.
"I don't want you to." Dean mumbled against Cas' neck, "alright, just give me a chance to explain to her okay?" "What are you two idjits doin' behind my desk?" Bobby grouched, Dean and Cas pulled apart and Dean wiped away the remaining tears, "sorry, was working on yearbook. Stupid hormones." Dean sniffed putting his glasses back on. "Uh huh…" Bobby said eyeing the two knowing something else was going on.
...
"Oh for fucks sake!" Dean groaned when they walked into the theater for practice. "Dean!" Cas gasped, "why is she fucking here?!" he hissed pointing at Amelia who was talking to Mrs. Rosen. "I don't know…. There aren't anymore parts in the play to fill.." Cas said grabbing Dean's hand so they could go on the stage. The backdrop and all of the props were almost done, Dean just needed to touch up a few things before things were ready to go next month.
"Cas, hey!" Amelia said walking over, "hello Dean." said slightly snooty, "hi." Dean huffed and went to grab the paints, he gave Cas a knowing look before leaving the two alone, "oh, don't forget your riding with Benny tonight, I need to leave early for therapy." he whispered to Cas before walking away.
"Look, Amelia, we need to talk." Cas started, "Dean's in therapy? Why?" she said completely ignoring him, "uh, reasons. But we need to talk." he started again. "Okay…" Cas took a deep breath and quickly thought of the right words to say.
"We can't hang out." he said quickly and Amelia's eyes widened for moment, "what? Why?" she asked, "because Dean doesn't like it and it's causing him stress, which isn't good for him or the pup." Cas explained and Amelia scoffed. "Right. He just doesn't want you near me because he's jealous. Seriously, you should be with someone who isn't going to ruin your life." She stated and Cas became furious.
"Don't you dare say that. Dean is not ruining my life, yes we were stupid for getting drunk and not using a condom, but don't you even bring our pup into this. I'm not going to talk to you, or hang out with you. I'm not going to risk the chances of loosing my son because you are causing my mate stress." Cas practically growled surprising her; Amelia stomped off and Cas turned around and almost ran into Dean.
"Did you hear any of that?" Cas whispered, "every word." Dean whispered back breaking into a smile and quickly set down the paint so he could pull Cas into a kiss. "I love you so much." he whispered, "hmm me too." Cas smiled. "Novak! Winchester! Break apart and let's get to work!" Mrs. Rosen yelled, they chuckled and Dean turned to go finish one of the backdrops and Cas went to the front of the stage.
...
Cas had beat Dean home since the therapy session went a little longer than usual. "Hey, you're home late." Mary said putting a bowl of potato soup in front of him. "Yeah… I guess I had more to talk about than I normally do. But the bright side is, Dr. Hansen said we could start going to once a month sessions!" Dean said smiling. "That's great!" Cas smiled squeezing Dean's knee under the table.
After supper Dean and Cas went downstairs with Sam and watched a movie. Half way through the movie Dean was practically asleep with his head on Cas' lap, when he felt a weird fluttery movement in his stomach. His eyes flew open and he sat up placing his hand on the spot he felt the movement. When he felt it again, it was stronger and he gasped. "Cas! Cas!" he practically yelled, "what?! Dean what's wrong?!" Cas asked starting to panic, even Sam was starting to freak out when they saw Dean gripping his stomach, "give me your hand quick!" Dean said already yanking Cas' hand towards the side of his stomach.
"Dean, what do you- oh my god! I-is he moving?!" Cas asked and Dean nodded, crying a little. "Sammy, you gotta feel this!" Dean giggled, yes actually giggled; "whoa, that's awesome!" Sam grinned, "go get mom." Dean said and Sam shot up the stairs.
"What does it feel like?" Cas asked moving to his knees so he could place both hands on each side of Dean's stomach, "I-I don't know how to describe it… it's almost like that butterfly feeling." Dean said wiping a stray tear. Mary and Sam came running down the stairs with Lucy following shortly after, "what's going on?! All Sam said was to get down here quickly!" Mary said looking frantic, "mom it's okay! He's moving, feel!" Dean said and she rushed over and replaced Cas' hand. "Oh, honey that's amazing. Thank you Sam for almost giving me a heart attack." she chuckled.
*End of March*
Dean groaned a little and looked at the alarm clock, '4:30?! Really jr… Let me sleep.' Dean whispered and got a solid kick in return. He carefully slid out of the bed so he wouldn't wake up Cas and walked to the living room, turned on the lamp and grabbed one of his books.
He must have fallen back asleep because Cas was shaking his shoulder around 6:30, "why are you on the couch?" he asked quietly, "couldn't sleep, pup was moving too much." Dean yawned and held out his hands for Cas to help him up.
When they got to school they started heading towards homeroom when Principle Crowley stopped them. "Boy's I need to talk to you in my office please." he said and walked off, Dean and Cas following. "Now, obviously you've seen posters around the school advertising for prom." Crowley started, "I've had multiple phone calls from parents having a problem with you two." he stated. "What? What do you mean they have a problem with us? We haven't done anything." Dean said getting angry, "uh, you've done enough Mr. Winchester, now I suggest you shut it and let me finish." Crowley snapped.
"Parent's don't want you at prom, they think you'll be a distraction and a bad example for the other students, considering what happened after our last dance." he explained. "You're saying we can't go to prom?" Cas asked also getting angry, "exactly." Crowley said becoming bored with the conversation. "That is total BULL SHIT!" Dean yelled, "Mr. Winchester!" Crowley yelled back.
"Listen hear you dick bag. We weren't going to go to prom anyway because I will be seven months pregnant. But the fact that you're telling us that we can't go just makes me want to go." Dean growled and stormed out of the office. "Mr. Novak I suggest you go after him and calm him down, anymore out breaks like that and you'll both be expelled." Crowley said and Cas ran after Dean.
Cas followed the scent of pissed off Omega to Bobby's room, he could hear Dean yelling before he even got to the door. "Dean calm down!" Cas yelled over him grabbing his face. "Breath, calm down okay." Cas said softer this time. Dean's breathing evened out and both Cas and Bobby could smell that he was calming down, "better?" Cas asked, "no. but I'll live." Dean huffed. "Well, now that, that's over get back to class ya idjits." Bobby said but tossed Dean some peanut M&M's knowing that was another way of calming him down.
The rest of the day was basically in the toilet, Alistair tried to pull his usual shit with Dean but luckily gave up when Dean kept walking. Amelia was in two of his classes and for one they were partnered up and she acted like he was child and didn't know what was going on. He was tired from not sleeping very well through the night and to make matters worse the last class of the day, one of the few he didn't have with class, Principle Crowley was subbing.
Dean tried so hard to hold it in knowing Crowley's reputation but he couldn't hold it any longer. He raised his hand while everyone was working on their project, "yes Mr. Winchester?" Crowley sighed, "may I use the restroom?" he asked holding his breath hoping Crowley would just say yes. "Why? You know you're supposed to use it before or after class." he said narrowing his eyes, "yes, but I didn't have to go before class and now I have a kid kicking my bladder like a soccer ball. So please, may I use the restroom." Dean sassed back.
"There is 15 minutes left of class, you can wait." "Actually, I've been holding it for the past 20 minutes and unless you'd like to clean up the mess, I suggest you let me use the bathroom." Dean said getting angry again, he didn't care that all of the students were staring at him. Crowley growled from annoyance, "go. And next time you'll hold it." he said and pointed towards the door.
Finally when the final bell rang, Dean practically ran to find Cas. "What's wrong? You smell upset." Cas said after Dean threw his arms around him and was inhaling his mate's scent. "Crowley was the sub in my last class and he almost didn't let me go to the bathroom… I almost didn't make it." Dean said sounding weak. "I'm sorry, hey the day's almost over and it's Friday. We have the weekend plus Monday to relax." Cas said kissing Dean's cheek before they went into the auditorium.
They went through the whole first act of the play and after Mrs. Rosen gave her announcements Dean went to clean up his mess from painting. Once he was done he couldn't find Cas, but he did see Charlie; "hey, have you seen Cas?" he asked, "no, but I think I saw him walk back stage." Charlie said patting Dean's shoulder before going home.
Dean heard rushed whispers coming from backstage so he rounded the corner and stopped in his tracks, Cas had his back to him and he was talking to Amelia. They were whispering about something and they were standing a little too close for Dean's comfort, then Dean's blood ran cold. Amelia swooped in and pressed her lips against Cas' and his hands went to her waist, Dean stormed off and he didn't see Cas push her off him or hear him asking 'what the fuck was her problem and to leave him alone.'
Dean ran down the steps and grabbed Sam's arm, "Dean, what are you doing? What's wrong?!" Sam asked when he noticed Dean was crying, "nothing, let's go." he said. "Wait, what about Cas?" Sam asked when they got in the Impala and drove off, "fuck Cas." Dean growled.
Back at the school Cas started looking for Dean after the ordeal with Amelia. He saw Gabe in the parking lot so he ran over, "Gabe!" he shouted, "hey Cassie what's up?" he asked pulling his keys out of his pocket, "I need a ride home…" Cas said once he realized that Dean left him, "ha did Dean leave you here?" Gabe chuckled. "Shut up and just give me a ride." Cas grouched.
Gabe dropped him off and he ran inside, "he's downstairs. I don't know what happened but he's pretty upset." Mary said when she saw Cas walk in. He ran down the stairs and saw Dean pacing the living room, "what the hell Dean? You left me!" Cas said, "I left you for a good fucking reason." Dean growled and finally faced Cas, and he noticed that Dean had been crying.
"What's wrong, why are you so upset?" Cas asked moving closer to Dean but stopped when he held his hand out, "don't. Don't fucking come near me you bastard" Dean said, new tears falling down his face. "What are you talking about?!" Cas asked getting mad. "WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M TALKING ABOUT CAS?! FUCKING AMELIA!" Dean yelled, "What bout her?" Cas asked, "DON'T PLAY STUPID! I SAW YOU! I SAW YOU BACKSTAGE WITH HER!" Dean continued to yell.
"DEAN! WHAT YOU SAW WAS ME TELLING HER FOR THE 5TH TIME TO LEAVE US ALONE AND SHE KISSED ME, THEN I PUSHED HER OFF!" Cas also yelled getting fed up with Dean. "What is going on down here?!" Mary said running down the steps. "Cas is a fucking lier and a cheat." Dean growled, "Cas?" Mary asked looking at him wide eyed.
"My old friend Amelia was getting a bit obsessive so I told her to leave us alone and she did for a while then she kept trying to come on to me, so today after play practice she stopped me backstage and we were arguing and she kissed me. Apparently Dean saw it and stormed off before he saw me pushing her away." Cas explained. "Dean, honey calm down, I think Cas is telling the truth." Mary said softly.
"BULL SHIT!" Dean yelled, "Admit it Cas, you regret this, you don't want to- agh!" Dean started but cut off, bending over clutching his stomach. Cas ran over and grabbed Dean to hold him upright and Mary was on him in an instant. "Dean? Tell me what hurts." she urged, "stomach." Dean panted and clutched onto Cas.
"Okay, are the pains shooting down your lower back and stomach?" she asked and Dean nodded. "Shit." she whispered and Dean started to panic because Mary never cussed unless she was mad or something was really wrong. "Mom?!" Dean asked sounding so small but cried out in pain. "Dean, you're so upset you went into labor. We need to get you to the hospital so they can stop it before your water breaks." Mary said already running up the stairs.
"Cas!" Dean sobbed "I-I no!" he started panicking. "Dean, shh, it's okay we're going to stop it, I need you to move for me okay?" Cas soothed and they got Dean in Mary's car where she and Sam were waiting and drove to the hospital.
An hour later Dean was sleeping in a hospital bed with Cas at his side happy that they could put a stop to the labor. "Cas?" Mary said softly but still caused him to jump, "sorry, I just wanted to let you know what's going to happen. We should probably wake up Dean." she said. "I'm already 'wake." Dean mumbled, "oh, okay. They're putting you on bed rest honey… I've hired a tutor and the school is going to send everything they need for you to finish your Junior year at home. You can still go to play practice and do the play but you need to take it very easy for the next few months." Mary explained
"So, I'm going to be stuck at home till June basically." Dean huffed, "well that's another thing. Generally when they stop the labor, the baby doesn't come at full term, so we're going to have to monitor you closely." She said, "so no matter what, I'm having this baby early?" Dean asked eyes watering, "I'm afraid so, it's just a matter of time." she said patting his leg and left the two alone.
