Cas's POV

The last two months have been interestingly calm in the supernatural sense, the angels were still locked in Heaven, the demons had just been doing normal business, and the rest of the supernatural creatures were keeping low profiles. There had been a few times Dean and Sam had to go out on hunts, usually, Gabriel going with them while Charlie and I stayed in the bunker, although the last week I had felt restless. I am only a month from giving birth to the Nephilim I am carrying, I could feel that it was a boy, however, Dean did not want to know, saying he had wanted to be surprised. We have not yet decided on names because Dean is being indecisive. Dean was currently at a table in the library spouting out names from a baby book but none of them felt right, so I paced around the room trying to get the ache in my back to disappear. I was so in my head I didn't see Dean get up until I ran into him, "Easy babe, why don't you come sit down."

I sighed and shook my head, "I do not wish to sit down Dean. I am uncomfortable no matter what I do."

Dean sighed a little and kissed my cheek gently before rubbing my rounded abdomen, "I know Cas, I'm sorry. You've been stuck in this bunker for two months babe, why don't we go outside for a walk, we can stay close to the bunker, just get you some fresh air?"

I sighed a little and rubbed at the stretched skin where our son was currently resting, I was still hesitant to leave the bunker but I also desperately missed being outside, so I bit the inside of my cheek and nodded a little. Dean smiled and nodded, "Let me go get you one of my shirts and a coat hun, it snowed pretty hard the other day."

I shook my head, "There is no need Dean, the cold will not affect me"

Dean hesitated before he said, "Okay, at least let me get you one of my shirts?"

I sighed a little before nodding, he kissed my head before heading to his room and I sighed heavily looking down at my stomach "You are making things very hard for me to be comfortable, son."

I heard a small gasp and turned to see Sam standing there and I frowned, "Sam you cannot tell Dean, he does not wish to know."

Sam came over, he had a small smile on his face, "I won't say a word, congratulations Cas."

I smiled a little and nodded, "Thank you, Sam. May I ask how is Gabriel doing?"

Sam sighed a little, "About not being pregnant yet? He keeps trying to act like everything is fine but I can see it bothers him… he refuses to call Chuck though."

I sighed gently, "Gabriel is stubborn, and he has wanted children of his own for a long time. He refuses to talk to me about it, I believe it is because he does not want to make me feel bad about the fact that I am carrying a child and he is not."

Sam nodded a little and looked down at the notebook Dean and I had listed possible names, although at the moment the only thing on the paper was a column for boy names and girl names. "I know it disappoints him big time. I mean we keep trying but nothings taking."

As I was about to say more Dean came back and handed me the shirt before smiling at Sam, "Hey Sammy, where's Gabriel?"

Sam replied, "He went out to get a few things that we need for the baby shower."

Dean sighed, "Dude I told you we didn't need one. You guys can just get stuff for the baby,"

Sam rolled his eyes, "Dude it's a nice gesture, Gabe, Charlie and I all pitched in okay. So what are you guys doing?"

"Dean believes I need to get some fresh air and since I am so uncomfortable and restless the idea pleased me so we are going for a walk around the bunker" I replied as I put Dean's shirt on, before it had been too large for me but now with my softly rounded abdomen the shirt fit tightly on me."

Sam smiled a little, "Okay, well I am going to talk to Charlie, she said she was trying to update some of the Men of Letter's filling and upload some of the stuff to her computer so I was going to help."

Dean rolled his eyes, "Nerds, Come on Cas."

I shook my head a bit before going with Dean up the slightly rounded staircase and outside, as I crossed the warding I could feel it squeeze on my grace before releasing it and it made me slightly uneasy but I ignored it and took Dean's hand, as Dean said it had snowed heavily yesterday. I could feel the bitterness of the cold but it felt good against my skin. Dean looked at me and smiled a bit, "You look happier already Cas."

I smiled and looked around at the trees covered in snow, "As much as I feel safer in the bunker I love the beauty that Earth holds."

Dean wrapped his arm around my shoulders and kissed my head, "You know I won't let anything happen to you or our baby."

I nodded gently and stared at the snow, there was something so calming about the way the snow covered the ground making all the other noises softer, I was so distracted I almost missed feeling the excited movement within my Grace, I paused and smiled looking down at my abdomen. Dean looked at me, "Everything okay babe?"

I looked up at him and nodded, "Our child is moving very much within my grace, it appears to enjoy being outside the bunker as well."

Dean smiled and rubbed my stomach softly, "Speaking of which babe, we need to pick names,"

I sighed and nodded, "I agree Dean, however, it is pointless to find names for both genders when I already know the gender of our child."

Dean sighed a bit and ran his hands through his hair, "I know… I just wish it could be a surprise…"

I nodded, "If it is that important to you, Dean, we can continue to call it gender-neutral terms."

Dean smiled a little and kissed me before shaking his head, "No you are right, and truthfully I am dying to know."

I pulled his hand to where our son was clearly moving just under the skin, making Dean smile and kneel down and lift my shirt before kissing my stomach gently, then he looked up at me, "So…"

I rubbed my stomach a bit before looking into Dean's eyes, "It is a boy Dean, we are having a son"

Dean looked up at me with tears in his eyes before he looked back at my abdomen and softly said, "Hi there little guy, it's your daddy here. Oh, buddy, I can't wait till you are born"

I couldn't stop the tears from forming in my eyes as I listened to Dean talking to our son until I saw Dean shiver and I realized how cold it was, "Dean we should go inside, while the cold does not bother me you are human"

Dean nodded and stood up and just as he stood up there was multiple flutterings of wings around us, Dean put me behind his back and glared at the angels that were standing in front of us, I recognized all of them and knew there were angels who had followed Raphael, which meant they were less likely to listen to the differences our Father was trying to make. "Awe Castiel, you should have stayed inside our father's protective warding.

I felt myself beginning to panic but Dean's whole demeanor had changed into his hunter mode, he was on high alert. I was so focused on the angels I almost didn't notice the fear from my son radiating through my grace, I quickly sent a message to Gabriel for help just as one of the angels lunged at Dean and I. Dean easily turned Hamiel's blade in on himself killing him with ease. Micah tackled Dean into the snow leaving me open as Jophial and Zadkial stepped closer to me, I could hear Dean fighting with Micah and I wanted to assist him but I knew if I turned my attention away from Jophial or Zadkial they could kill me and my son. I stepped back and called my own angel blade to me, holding it out in front of me protectively before I heard a cry of pain from Dean and my concentration broke for just a second and Jophial lunged at me however just as he did they were exploded on a molecular level similar to what Lucifer once did to me. I turned to see Chuck standing next to me and saw Gabriel healing Dean, without thinking I ran over to Dean and as soon as Gabriel was done healing him I wrapped my arms tightly around him and it took me a moment to register the crying I was hearing was coming from me. Dean rubbed my back softly and stroked his hand through my hair gently attempting to calm me down, "Shh, hey it's okay Cas, I've got you now."

I whimpered and buried my nose into Dean's neck, I could feel myself shaking and Dean's arms tightened around me. I heard the crunch of the snow as Chuck and Gabriel both got closer, Chuck softly said, "We should take Castiel inside Dean."
