We sat there in silence for almost an hour before Dean spoke. "Cas? Do, do you think you're…" Dean asked unable to finish his sentence. "I-I don't know… I don't think I would be… But I just don't know!" I choked putting my face in my hands. "What if I am? What about the wedding, my job at the library? Dean I'm not ready yet." I started crying. "Shh, Cas it's okay. We'll figure something out. It'll be okay… I'm not ready either but we'll work something out. I promise." Dean reassured me as he grabbed me and started rubbing soothing circles on my back. "I'm going to go to the doctors tomorrow on my lunch break to make sure." I said once I stopped crying. "I'll come with you." Dean stated. "No, it's okay, I-I want to go alone…" I said quietly. "Okay but you have to come tell me as soon as you're done with work, I have to work late tomorrow so come to the shop. I nodded and fell asleep listening to Dean's heartbeat.

I had called the Clinic as soon as I got to work to set up an appointment and told the library that I would be a little late coming back from my lunch break telling them I had a doctors appointment. I felt relieved when they told me that it was fine and to take my time. I arrived at the clinic and told the nurse at the front desk my name and that I had an appointment. "Of course dear, go sit and we'll call you back when we're ready." The nurse smiled at me as I went to sit down only to bounce my knee impatiently, something I had picked up from Dean. My mind started racing and I was about to have a full blown out panic attack when the nurse called my name, "Castiel Novak? You may come back now." I got up on shaky legs and followed the nurse to a room in the back. "Just sit here sweetie and the doctor will be in momentarily." the nurse said with a smile. I thanked her and sat up on the bed, a few minutes later a woman came in and smiled. "Castiel? Hi, I'm Doctor Maddison, nice to meet you." She stuck out her hand and I shook it "nice to meet you as well." I said quietly. "Okay, Castiel- "please call me Cas." I said smiling at her. "Okay, Cas. Lets get started."
She took my blood pressure and a sample of my blood which made me feel a little nauseous. "Okay, Cas just about done, now since you're a male omega, pregnancy tests are a little different, normally you would take a normal test, but I'm going to have to get a sample." She said handing me a small plastic cup. When I returned with the sample she told me to sit and relax and she will go take the tests. I sat in the room and began to think about the possibilities. If I was pregnant, then we would have to declaw Squirt, set up one of the guest bedrooms as a nursery, I would have to quit my job. Oh god, Dean wont be able to support us with just his job at the shop. I started panicking again when the doctor walked back in I felt strangely calm… "Cas, if you'll follow me please." she said with a small smile, I got up and followed her to a different room where there was a sonogram machine sitting in the corner. "Okay, Cas I'm going to have you lay on the table and lift your shirt up." I got up on the table quickly and raised my shirt up to my chest as she rolled over the machine. "All righty, this is going to be a little cold just so you know…" she said as she squirted some gel onto my lower stomach causing my to shiver. She the proceeded to take the ultrasound. "Well, congratulations Castiel, you're gonna have a baby!" Dr. Maddison smiled and gave me a quick hug once I wiped the gel off my stomach and sat up.
I just stared at the small ultrasound picture she gave me; I couldn't say anything. "This little blob right there" she pointed to the center of the photo, "that is you're baby. Now, I'm assuming by the ring on your finger your fiancé knows your here?" "Ye-yes, I stammered, "he does. I'm going to his work later…" We started walking out and I was still staring at the picture. "Well, Castiel, if my calculations are correct I'm judging your baby will be here sometime in March. We will be able to know better once you're further along." The doctor said with a smile; we said our goodbyes and I went back to work, lunch completely forgotten. The librarians I worked with noticed my distant behavior, "Castiel, honey is everything okay? Did the doctors appointment go ok?" The older librarian asked me with worry written on her face. "Um yes, it was fine actually, I guess I have some good news…." I said quietly and handed her the photo. "Oh! Congratulations sweetheart! Oh I'm so happy for you!" She gushed handing my the photo and giving me a quick hug. Once my shift ended, I made my way to Winchester and Sons Auto Repair Shop. I walked in panicking slightly on how Dean was going to react; "Hey Cas." John greeted me when I went inside. "Hello," I murmured, "is-is Dean here? I-I need to talk to him." I mentally slapped myself for sounding so weak. "Yeah, Cas he's out back. Is everything okay? You look pale and shit, Cas I'll go get him. Here you guys can use my office for privacy." John rushed when I started crying.
I sat down in the corner of John's office and put my face in my hands and continued to cry; I was scared of how Dean was going to react… Dean burst through the door a few minutes later, "Cas, baby what's wrong? Dad said you were pretty shaken up. How did the doctor's appointment go?" Dean said crouching in front of me prying my hands away from my face and wiping the tears off my cheek. "I-it we-went good." I said trying to stop the tears, "I-uh… we-we are going to be parents Dean." I said quietly handing him the picture. Dean took it and stared at it for what felt like an eternity. "Dean? Dean please say something." I squeaked out before the silence drove me mad. "I'm going to be a father?" Dean whispered looking up at me with tears in his eyes. "Cas, oh my god!" He said picking me up and grabbing me in a huge hug. "This is great! I know I said I wasn't ready, and well I guess I'm not still, but I couldn't be happier!" He said pulling me in for a kiss. "You-you're not mad?" I asked a little surprised, "mad? No, Cas I'm excited."
He smiled. "We uh we should probably tell your dad so he doesn't worry anymore… I think I scared him a little bit when I broke down." I chuckled lightly. "Yeah, I'll go get him." Dean responded leaving me alone again. The tears had finally stopped and I stared at the picture and slowly pressed my hand against my lower abdomen. Dean returned a few minutes later with John in tow. "Dammit boy, tell me what's going on, you both are starting to scare me." John grumbled. Dean walked over to me and put his arm around me, "Dad, Cas is gonna have a baby." Dean said quickly before his nerves could get to him. John just stood there staring at the both of us trying to soak in what Dean had just told him. "I'm going to be a grandpa?" John whispered and I had to hold back a laugh considering that that was exactly what Dean had said with different words obviously. "Yeah, dad." Dean said and I could see him smile at the corner of my eye and I handed John the sonogram. "I-I don't know what to say, I'm happy for you boys. I really am." John said with tears in his eyes and drew us both in for a hug. "Alright, go home Dean, you have the rest of the night off." John said slapping his shoulder and handing me back the sonogram. Once we both arrived home I walked to the living room almost like a zombie still trying to process the whole day. I sat down and absentmindedly put my hand on my stomach. Dean came in and sat down next to me. "What are we gonna do?" I whispered, "I don't know, we will work this out." Dean said and arranged ourselves so we were comfortably laying on the couch, wrapped in each others arms.
