Chapter 39
Alright So I got a couple of movies and a lot of junk food to feed an army. We should be good for at least twelve hours. Jo said as she came in the house with a couple of bags.
Jo, not that I don't appreciate your company, because I do, but don't you have evil to fight? I have to sit here and do nothing, not you. Hailey said from the couch she was laying on watching a crappy soap opera.
Three days had pass since Christmas and Ellen was gone by the following day but Jo decided to stick around. Hailey loved having a girl around to talk to and all but she felt guilty from keeping her away from hunting. Even Sam and Dean stayed by her side and that made her feel like she was keeping them all from saving the world. The boys kept telling her if they would hear from the angels something was up they would go but for now things seemed to slowdown and the cases they did hear about, any other hunter could go, so they also decided to stick around and wait for news from Castiel.
Trying to get rid of me? Listen Hails, I missed you and I wanna spend some time with you and if the guys have to leave on a case you won't be alone. Plus mom gets a break from worrying ya know. Jo said while she emptied the bags on the coffee table and Hailey peeked at the snacks.
No pickles?! Hailey complained.
Shoot I forgot...
Ouuuu pie! Dean said as he came into the living room and flopped on the couch at Hailey's feet.
Sam also came in and sat in the armchair.
So what movie did you get? I am not watching that horrible soap on Tv. He asked Jo.
What's wrong with doctor sexy? Dean asked and all of them stared at him.
What?
Hailey why aren't you ready? Castiel asked as he appeared behind the couch and Jo jumped pulling a knife out.
Hey Cas! Jo it's okay... This is Castiel, Castiel this is Jo.
Oh... Hi. Jo said, putting her knife away and Castiel nodded to her.
Ready for what? Dean asked getting up.
Her doctor's appointment.
Oh shoot! I totally forgot. Gimme a minute I'll just run upstairs and get changed.
Wait. I mean... I could bring you. Dean proposed getting up.
That's sweet Dean but... it's in Vancouver. Cas will just pop us there. Hailey explained and noticed he seemed disappointed.
You... wanna come with? It's just a check up, make sure everything's ok, but they might do an ultrasound. Hailey asked and Dean seemed to beam up.
Uh.. Yeah, yeah I'd like that. Dean smiled at her.
Great! I'll be right back. Hailey said and left to go changed.
Any lead about Anna? Dean asked not losing any time.
No, but I asked a few angels to keep an eye out and let me know if they see her. How is Hailey? She seems... happy. Castiel asked.
Yeah, yeah she's good. Dean answered a bit awkwardly.
I'm glad to hear that.
Jo watched the exchange and could feel the tension between both men. She noted to herself to ask Sam about it when they left.
So you're the angel who keeps saving my friend huh. Tell me, do you know what she's having? Boy or girl? Jo asked as she sat back down on the couch.
Hailey doesn't want to know...
But you do!?
Jo. Quit it. Dean said.
Oh C'mon you gonna tell me you're not curious?
I'm telling you to quit it. If Hailey doesn't want to know then that's that. Dean defended Hailey.
Urgh... you're no fun... She pouted.
Hailey came down the stairs while tying her hair in a ponytail. She grabbed her coat and Castiel helped her put it on as Dean got his own jacket. She took her purse and swung it on her shoulder.
Ready. She smiled at Castiel as Dean stood beside her.
Castiel touched both of them and they were gone.
OK, so what's going on between Castiel and Dean? Jo asked not losing any time and Sam laughed.

They appeared in the back of the hospital and the three of them entered and walked to the maternity unit. Hailey walked to the front office the nurse told her to take a seat the doctor would be there shortly. She walked back to the guys and Castiel seemed lost in thought.
You okay? She asked concerned.
Yes, yes. I just have to go.
What? Why?
I don't know... I will be back at the end of the appointment.
Before Hailey could push more for an explanation Castiel was gone. She quickly looked around nervously as he disappeared in the waiting room but no one seemed to notice. Dean notice Hailey's worried face.
Hey, he's fine... Does this all the time. Don't worry about it.
Yeah, I know... But, didn't he seem nervous to you? She asked but before Dean could answer her, doctor Hills appeared in the waiting room.
Miss Singer? He called and Hailey smiled at Dean.
Ready? She asked him and Dean nodded as he put a hand on the small of her back and they followed the doctor to a room.
Your guardian angel didn't come today? Doctor Hills asked Hailey as he gestured her to lie on the bed at was against a wall near a computer screen.
No he had something to do... Hailey said as she sat on the edge of the bed.
Hi, I'm doctor Hills. He greeted Dean that stood by the door.
Dean. He greeted as he shook the doctor's hand.
He's the father to be. Hailey explained to the doctor.
Oh! Well it's very nice to meet you. How about we take a look at your baby, see if everything is running smoothly. The doctor said warmly to them.
Have you been taking better care of yourself? The doctor asked Hailey.
I'm literally a couch potato... Hailey answered.
Good! The doc answered.
You can take a seat next to her. The doctor mentioned the seat next to the bed and Dean nodded as he made his way to Hailey's side. She smiled up at him. He seemed nervous but took her hand as the doctor pulled her shirt up revealing her bump. He squeezed some gel onto her belly and placed an instrument onto the gel and started running it over her belly. Dean took a surprised breath as the blurry monitor focused onto a small frame. He could see a head, arms, legs and even feet.
Is that...
Yeah that's your baby. The doctor said with a smile before he turned back to the monitor.
Wow... Dean said softly as he couldn't take his eyes off the monitor.
Hailey watched the screen as well with a big smile on her face. She felt Dean squeeze her hand a bit and turned to look at him. He seemed amazed with what he was looking at. She squeezed back and he turned to look at her and his smile grew. He brought her hands to his lips and kissed the back of her hand, before he turned back and watched as the baby kicked and he actually saw it.
The doctor pressed a button and they started to hear a fast heartbeat. The doctor noticed Dean's eyes growing bigger.
Nice and steady heartbeat. He told them, knowing Dean probably thought the baby had a fast heartbeat and saw the future father relax a bit.
Well Miss Singer, everything seems to be going great. Still want to keep the baby's sex a surprise? He asked and Hailey looked up to Dean.
Well, it didn't seem right knowing without you... But now that you're here... Do you wanna know what we're having? Hailey asked.
Hm... Dean said as he looked from the monitor to Hailey and back again.
Yeah, I mean if you don't want to know, I'm okay with that too... Dean said and Hailey had a goofy smile on.
OK doctor what are we having? Boy or girl? Hailey asked and squeezed Dean's hand in anticipation.
Alright, congratulations, you both are having a healthy baby boy. Doctor Hills announced and both Hailey and Dean shared a shocked yet happy face.
We're having a boy! Hailey laughed as tears rolled down her face.
I'm going to have a son... Dean chocked out and without thinking he got up and kissed Hailey on the lips, it was a soft yet demanding kiss and as he pulled away and both of them froze.
I still want you to keep off your feet though. Things are going smoothly so let's keep it that way, shall we? The doctor explained as he quickly wiped off the gel on her belly with a white cloth.
Yes, of course Doctor. Dean answered quickly and Hailey didn't even hear the doctor talk, all she could think about was Dean had kissed her.
Great! I'll see you again in two weeks for another check up and then next time we see each other will be to meet this little guy.
Yes, thank you doctor. Hailey smiled snapping out of it.
The doctor nodded and left the room. Hailey sat up and pulled her shirt back down. Dean went to help her down but she jumped off before he could. He knew she was freaking out about the kiss.
Listen, Hailey I-
You got caught up in the moment Dean... It's fine. Hailey said looking up at him with a small smile.
Dean wanted to tell it wasn't that. He was happy to have a son but he wanted more. He wanted the mom too. He wanted a family, a house with the picket fence, hell maybe even a dog. But he decided to keep quiet and not ruin the moment and nodded in defeat at Hailey. She reached out and kissed his cheek and they left the room.
They found Castiel waiting in the parking lot and they met him. Castiel nodded at them and smiled at Hailey.
It's a boy. She smiled and Castiel returned her smile.
Congratulations.
Like you didn't know... Hailey rolled her eyes but reach out and hugged him.
Dean noticed Castiel's expression was off. He seemed sad or guilty. He looked up to Dean as he returned Hailey's hug and frowned. Now Dean knew something was wrong.As Hailey pulled away from Castiel both men placed a smile on their faces and she didn't notice anything.
Ready to go? Castiel smiled down at her.
Yeah! I can't wait to tell everyone! Jo is gonna be so disappointed... Hailey giggled and Castiel touched both their heads and they appeared inside Bobby's living room.
Guys! Guys! Hailey called out as soon as she was home and all of them ran to her.
Hailey, I have to go. I'll see you soon okay? Castiel told her quickly.
You sure everything's okay? Hailey asked concerned.
Yes. Don't worry about it... He smiled sadly and left, not sure when he would see her again.

Castiel appeared in a white room in heaven, where Zachariah and Anna waited for him to come back.
Got her home okay? Anna asked.
Like you care... Castiel growled.
Castiel I am sorr- Anna started to apologise but Castiel's death glared quieted her and she looked down.
Let's get back to our discussion shall we? Zachariah said with a grin.
So Anna told me you are hiding the righteous son's existence from your brothers.
From potential threat. Castiel corrected.
How are we a threat? Zachariah asked curious.
How was Uriel a threat to us all? Castiel asked, explaining his mistrust of his family.
You are something else Castiel, First breaking the last seal needed to be broken... Making the apocalypse on demons not to give up... We gave you a chance to redeem yourself by saving Dean Winchester from hell and this is how you thank us?
I did what I thought was right and I still stand by my actions. Castiel said holding his head up high, ready for whatever punishment Zachariah thought suitable.
See, Castiel... I should be angry yet I'm... Grateful.
Both Anna and Castiel looked up to Zachariah in confusion.
See children... Whatever you have in good you have in bad. Everything must be balanced to work. Call it the wing and wang effect. One doesn't not exist without the other. The apocalypse needed Lilith to be destroyed as the 66th seal... She can only be replaced by the complete opposite. The demons are going crazy trying to figure out what that is... Truthfully so have we. Till now that is. Zachariah smiled at Anna, who's eyes grew in fear and she turned to Castiel.
The child becomes the 66th seal... Anna said in fear and Castiel's eyes grew wide.
You were always the smart one Anna. Zachariah said.
Castiel, I didn't know... Anna said quickly and vanished.
Castiel was thinking fast, trying to process exactly what all of this meant.
Can I count on my brother's to protect this child?
Why would we do that? Zachariah was enjoying Castiel's shocked face.
To prevent the apocalypse!
Again why would we want to prevent it? When we will win it.
An innocent child will die!
And who's fault is that brother?
I will not let anything happen to him. Castiel growled back slipping his angel blade into his hand and the other angel laughed.
It's already too late brother. Why did you think I let you bring her back home?
Castiel felt sheer fear as he caught on... All this was a distraction. He transported to Bobby's and was chocked to see the living room completely trashed, blood on the floor near his feet and no one was in sight.
Hailey!
AN: Bombed Dropped.
