Hello my darlings. I would like to thank rainystv and toonamifan666 for the lovely reviews. So here's the next chapter, I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
It had been a couple of months since the birth of Mary Winchester and Castiel had discovered that the love he felt for the child grew by the day. He was becoming even more gooey than Dean, if that was possible. But he had yet to bring up the idea of them getting one of their own with his husband. It seemed whenever he mentioned children in general rather than Mary in particular Dean would change the subject, and Castiel was starting to get annoyed with his husbands behaviour. Oh he wasn't stupid, he knew the reason Dean did it was because he didn't want to think about how he would never have a child, but that did not help Castiel try to tell him he wanted them to have one.
And so he decided to use a more manipulative method than him and Dean sitting down and having a conversation about getting a baby. As such he offered his and his husbands services as a babysitter for their niece so that her parents could go out and spend time together. Jess and Sam quickly agreed, as while they loved there daughter more than life itself, they really did need some time together alone as it were.
And so that was how Dean found himself sitting on his brother's couch, with Mary sleeping in his arms after her bottle, being confronted by his husband.
"Dean, I've been thinking. I want a child." Castiel said realising he had been beating round the bush too much. He needed to come straight to the point if he was going to get Dean to talk about them having a child.
"You what?" Dean asked in shock, cos surely Cas was well aware he didn't have the right parts for making one of them. You know, no lady parts. (Yes we get what you're talking about Dean, thank you very much.)
"I want us to have a child Dean." Castiel said again hoping that Dean's shock wasn't from him not wanting a baby with him. What if Castiel had got it wrong? (You haven't.) What if Dean didn't want a child? (He does.) Had he just made a huge mistake? (No way in hell darling.)
"How? We've both guys, Cas." Dean asked he was completely confused by this conversation. Cos lets be honesty it was never one he expected to have with his husband, like ever. (Numpty Dean, there is more than one way to get a child, and no I don't mean kidnap, behave.)
"I am well aware of that Dean. But maybe we could adopt?" Castiel suggested with a wiry smile on his face. Had the idea really never crossed Deans mind? (No seems not. Bless him.)
"Adopt?" Dean asked stunned by the idea. He had never thought of that. (See told you.)
"Yes Dean." Castiel replied in a tone reminiscent of one you would use on a child, which was kind of appropriate considering there topic of conversation.
"Adopt." Dean repeated, but this time as a statement rather than a question. After that he sat there in silence as the word went round and round in his head and tried to work out how he felt about it. "Never really thought about that." he finally muttered once he realised that yes, that could well be an option for them.
"So do you think it sounds like a good idea?" Castiel asked, he was starting to get anxious now. He wanted Dean to be as keen on this idea as he was, it would be pointless getting a child if only one of them wanted it. (Don't worry Cassie, that will never be a problem.)
"Yeah, I... hell yeah." Dean said, having (finally) processed what Castiel was saying. With that he went to grab Cas, forgetting he had a baby in his arms. (Oops.)
"Mind Mary." Castiel said when he saw Dean try to hug him, he'd automatically held out his hands to grab the child as if he thought Dean was going to drop her.
"Yeah, that wouldn't look to good on the application would it? We got so excited about deciding to adopt we squashed our niece." Dean chuckled as he placed Mary down on her play mat before turning back to his husband and pulling him into his arms. He couldn't believe this. He was going to get everything he had ever dreamed of. He had thought he had to choose between having Cas or having a child, and he had chosen, now here was his husband telling him he could have both. To him it really was the best thing he had ever heard, and nothing could stop them now. They were going to be a proper family.
And Castiel was just as happy as Dean. They would have their own child, it could play with Mary, she would be like its sister. And Castiel couldn't wait, already planing on where to go next. He may have already done lots of research on the subject of adoption and as such may already have a copy of the forms they needed to fill in. He would get Dean to do that as soon as they got home. It was time to get there family started.
(yeah, Dean and Cassie want a baby too. Got to love a baby.)
