OMG! I know I am late, but I finally saw the season finale last night! I swear if my mother had been home and heard me cursing as much as I did, she would have slapped me and took away my new laptop.
Anyway enjoy this chapter and please don't forget to review. Tell me what you like, don't like or any suggestions you have.
Chapter 2
Dean picked up Sam at exactly one on the dot. Sam jumped in the car and Dean gunned the engine. Dean drove to the nearest restaurant that was closest to Sam's job.
"Remember all the times we ate in those cheap diners?" Dean asked sitting across from his brother.
Sam nodded, "Yup and the only thing you ever ordered was a cheeseburger and fries."
"That was the only thing that looked remotely appetizing. Feels good to actually kick back and not worry about hunting."
"Dude, don't say shit like that. The last time you talked like that we had to go out and hunt a wendigo."
Dean remembered. Although the apocalypse was won, and both he and Sam were happily married didn't mean that they stopped hunting. The waitress came and took their order and after she left, Dean settled back in his seat.
"So Cas and Gabe are pregnant."
"Yeah, can you believe it?"
"I dunno. I mean it's great, I guess. You've always wanted a family."
"So have you," Sam pointed out. "Dean, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, Sammy."
"Dean, I'm your brother. I know you. Something's wrong. Talk to me before I have to get back to work."
"I dunno, Sammy. I just think it's a little too soon for me and Cas to be having kids. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love kids, but I'm not so sure I'm ready for this."
"Dean, I feel the same way. I mean doing what we do? Knowing what we know? No one wants to raise kids in this type of world, but we just gotta do what we gotta do. I mean I may not be ready for this, but I do know that I am happy and gonna do the best I can."
Dean nodded and finished off his meal as he checked his watch, "Time to get you back to work Sasquatch. Let's go."
When Dean got home around 5 he found Cas in the kitchen cooking.
"Cas, baby, what are you doing?"
"Cooking. It's Thursday. Have you forgotten that Sam, Gabriel and Bobby are coming for dinner?"
"No. I just meant why are you cooking? Shouldn't you be resting or something?"
Castiel chuckled, "I am only a few weeks, Dean. I am fine. And I know what you are trying to ask. I found a recipe in this book for making lasagna."
"Oh, okay. I'm gonna take a shower."
Cas nodded and went back to reading the recipe. Dean just chuckled and headed upstairs.
Sam got home around 7 and found Gabriel sitting on the couch reading a book about human pregnancies.
"Hey, babe, you ready? We're going over to Dean's and Cas' for dinner remember?" Sam asked placing a kiss on Gabe's temple.
"Yeah. Sammy, check this out; this one woman craved avocadoes and ice cream through her whole pregnancy. Think I'll be like that?"
"Not at all. C'mon let's go."
"You don't wanna change first?"
"You know? I should change," Sam said looking down at his suit.
Twenty minutes later, Sam and Gabe were knocking on their brothers' door.
Cas opened the door and greeted his brother and brother-in-law, "Hello, Sam, Gabriel."
"Hey, Cas," Sam replied.
"Come on in. Bobby's already here and Dean is in the kitchen finishing up the dinner."
Sam chuckled as he and Gabe entered the house knowing full well that Dean kicked Cas out the kitchen. Bobby was seated in the living room on the couch.
"Hey, Bobby. Hey, Dean!" Sam greeted.
"Hey, Sammy, beer's on the table," Dean replied.
"Oh, goody," Gabe smiled and picked one up before Sam swiped it out of his hands.
"No beer for you."
"Aww, come on Sammy," Gabe pouted.
"No."
"Please? Just one?" Gabe whined. Bobby laughed.
"Gabriel, you might as well deal with it. Dean did the same with me," Cas said.
"Didn't know you angels drank?" Bobby laughed.
"Oh, we do when we want to," Gabe said winking at Sam.
"Gabriel, you are not having a beer and if you so as much conjure up one, not only will you not get any, but you will be couched."
Dean walked in with salad and grinned, "I'd be careful Gabe, Sam's pretty serious. And don't you be getting no ideas Cas."
"Sucks to be us, huh, Cas?" Gabe asked as everyone started serving themselves.
"How come you boys don't want you're angels to be drinking?" Bobby asked taking a huge gulp of beer.
Dean hesitated and looked over at Sam. Sam sighed.
"Because Cas and Gabe are pregnant."
Bobby spit out his beer, "What!"
Dean sat down at the table with his plate, "Yup. Found out this morning."
"Both of you?"
Cas nodded.
"How the fuck did that happen? All of you are male."
"Apparently an angel's grace allows them to get pregnant no matter whether it's a female or not," Sam said.
Bobby contemplated that while he ate.
"So I guess congratulations are in order. So are you boys ready for this kind of responsibility?"
Not in the fucking least, I so do not want kids right now, Dean thought to himself. Cas looked at Dean with sad eyes then walked out of the room.
"Sure, I think we can handle it, right Dean?"
"Uh, sure. Right, Cas?" Dean asked looking around. "Where's Cas?"
Everyone shrugged and Dean left the living room and walked into the kitchen. No Cas. He walked back into the dining/living room. He just saw Gabe rush to the bathroom so that ruled out Cas being in the downstairs bathroom. He ran upstairs and didn't find him in any of the rooms.
"Cas!"
"Didn't find him?" Sam asked when Dean came back downstairs.
Dean shook his head. Cas, where are you?
Gabe came back from the bathroom, "I take it you didn't find him."
"No, can you like sense him for me?"
"I can try but if Cas doesn't want to be found, I won't be able to find him."
"Just try please."
Gabe nodded and sat down cross-legged on the floor. After about twenty minutes Gabe opened his eyes and stared intently at Dean.
"He's at the park up the street and he's been crying. He's screaming 'Why Dean, why?' what did you do to my brother?"
"I don't know. You guys can stay here if you want. I gotta go find what's wrong with Cas," Dean said grabbing his keys and jacket and walking out the door.
Dean found Cas sitting on a bench crying.
"Cas? Baby, what's wrong?"
"Just leave me, Dean."
"Cas, you can't just go disappearing like that. You had me worried."
"I apologize for worrying you now please go."
"No. I'm gonna sit here until you tell me what's wrong. Cas we just went through this, this morning. We need to be able to talk about shit."
"Does that constitute in lying?"
"What?"
"You lied to me, Dean."
"About what?"
"Your feelings for the baby. This morning you said we deserved this and that you were happy, but just now, you thought something completely different. You said you didn't want to have kids."
Dean tried to pull Cas into his arms but Cas just pushed away from him.
"Cas, I didn't mean it like that. I do want to have kids; it's just that I'm not sure I'm ready. Having a kid is a huge responsibility and I don't know if I can handle that."
"Dean you have dealt with far greater."
"I know, but that stuff I knew how to do; with a baby I don't. Besides, we still hunt. I don't want to raise a child in our kinda world."
"This is not something that will ever go away. There will always be something evil to hunt. So you are saying that you don't want to have a child knowing what you know? That is impossible. You are agreeing that you don't want children."
"Dammit, Cas, that's not what I am saying. You don't understand."
"Then please tell me so I understand."
"Oh, just forget it, Cas. Just know I love you and I do want to have kids with you," Dean growled.
Cas was about to comment when his stomach decided to give and he bent over to throw up. After several minutes of retching, he sat back up and wiped his mouth on the back of his sleeve.
"You are angry. This proves my point. Yes, maybe you want to have kids, but not with me."
"How dare you think that! Cas, I do want to have kids with you. God, Cas, why can't you understand?"
"Do not blaspheme, Dean."
"Cas, look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you think that I didn't want kids or even have kids with you. I do, I really do."
"But you are not happy."
"I am, Cas. I'm just a little self-conscious, that's all."
"Okay."
"Let's get you back to the house. It's getting cold out and Gabe was pretty upset with me."
Cas and Dean entered the house to find everyone still there and eating ice cream.
"Cas, guess what?"
"What, Gabriel?"
"I threw up three times since you've been gone," Gabe said happily like a child.
"Gabriel, that is disgusting. I do not need to know how many times you've thrown up," Cas grimaced.
"Aww, come on, how many times have you thrown up?"
Sam and Dean looked at each other and Dean made gagging noises.
"Twice, happy?"
"Definitely, I've got you beat."
Bobby shook his head, "Gabe, you are acting like a child."
"What else is new? He always acts like a child," Dean snickered.
"Well, it's getting late and I hate driving home in the dark," Bobby said.
"We'll see you later, Bobby. Drive safe," Dean said walking Bobby toward the door.
"Guess we'll call it a night as well. Let's go Gabe, bedtime."
"Don't wanna," Gabe whined.
Sam groaned, "Gabe."
Gabe shook his head, "Not going."
Sam smirked then leaned in to whisper in Gabe's ear. Gabe perked up and ran to the door.
"Coming, Sammy?"
Dean saw this and laughed, "What did you say to him?"
"Oh, I just told him that if he didn't come he wasn't getting any," Sam smiled as he walked to the door.
Dean just shook his head as he walked Sam and Gabe to the door. "Have a good night, guys."
"You too. Goodnight, Cas," Sam called.
"Goodnight, Sam."
Gabe pulled Sam out of the door and across the street. Dean chuckled and closed the door.
"C'mon, baby, let's get you to bed," he said taking Cas' hand and leading him upstairs to the bedroom.
