Hello my rumbumptious pumpkins (don't ask). I would like to thank Tie-Dyed Broadway for the lovely review.

So this is the penultimate chapter of this story. I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.

Dean was running round the house in the organised chaos that he managed to have every morning, or at least he insisted it was organised, Castiel wasn't so sure he would agree. It seemed to him as if his husband was actually doing his best impression of a headless chicken. But either way he wasn't going to interrupt, he knew better than to interfere with Dean's 'organisation'. Instead he went about his own making sure that they had everything they were going to need for that day. Or more importantly every Claire was going to need. They had recently celebrated her first birthday and it was a year to the day since they had first brought her home. She was a delight in their life and both and he and Dean loved her more than anything, he was pretty sure that that included each other, but he really didn't want to test that theory. Their daughter was a very inquisitive baby, and liked to investigate everything, of course this investigation then involved placing everything in her mouth and trying to eat it. Sam insisted that this was a trait she had learnt from Dean as he was sure his brother would eat anything that was put in front of him. A statement Dean couldn't refuse the first time it was uttered courtesy of having his mouth full of food.

But anyway back to packing all that she would need for the day. Claire would be spending the morning at the local day care where her favourite, and currently only though that would be changing at any time (a time very soon), cousin Mary Winchester also went. The two seemed to egg each other on to do more and more investigating. Which usually also entailed making a mess everywhere. Not that either of their parents truly minded that fact. Castiel could only hope that when Kali, who was currently extremely pregnant, had her child that his daughter would have the same sort of relationship with it as she did with Sam's daughter. And if he was honest he couldn't wait to become an uncle by blood. (Ah bless you Cassie.)

Looking round Castiel was sure he had everything they needed, though looking at the bags around him he became aware that most of it belonged to their daughter not that that mattered. Though she never seemed to travel light, he briefly wondered if she would be like that when she was older too, but only time would answer that for him (though it was probably a good guess). He was checking that they had everything when Dean came up behind him, and wrapped his arms around the man he loved.

"Ready?" Dean asked gently resting his chin on Castiel's shoulder.

"I think so." Castiel replied leaning back against him while they both smiled down at the baby girl strapped into her rocker staring up at them with the big blue eyes that she never lost.

"Good. We've a car to catch." Dean said placing a gentle kiss on his husband's cheek.

"Very true." Castiel answered turning in Dean's arms so he could return the kiss, but this one was to his husband's lips. But before it could go any further there was a shrill sound of his phone going off. Pulling it out of his pocket he saw he had a message from Gabriel.

Kali's in labour. I'm going to become a daddy. Will keep you posted.

"It looks like my brother is about to become a father." Castiel said once he read it smiling down at the message before turning to look at Dean who was watching him with love in his eyes.

"God help us all. Any child of Gabriel's is bound to be a handful." Dean replied ruthfully pulling back from Cas so he could text Sam and let him know of the addition to the family before they headed out to work.

"So very true." Castiel replied a smile on his face at the idea of have a little niece or nephew, before he picked up their daughter and made his way of the house. It would have to make sure that he could organise a time for the whole family to meet its latest member.

Kali had got to that point in pregnancy where she just wanted to have it over and done with. She was fed up with feeling like a whale all the time, though Gabriel insisted that to him she had never looked more beautiful, but as she pointed out, his opinion really wasn't the one that counted, hers did (so true). And hey it wasn't that she felt fat, she was just fed up with having another person inside of her. She wanted her baby in her arms rather than her stomach. As such when she felt the first pains course across her abdomen she sighed in relief that it was finally happening. Gabriel of course was the complete opposite going absolutely crazy when she told him she was having the baby, now. It was rather amusing to watch him scurry about making sure that she had everything in her bag that she had had packed and by the door for the last six weeks. And then it was time to go, making their way to the maternity unit to have their baby. (Yeah another baby. You can never have too many in this family.)

Half way through the labour and Kali was seriously rethinking her wish to have the baby out of her. In fact she would gladly go back to the pregnant stage permanently, anything to get away from the god damn pain she was feeling right then. (I hear you love.)

"Shh, Shh. It's alright sweetheart, you're doing great." Gabriel muttered as he held Kali's hand and rubbed her back during in a break between the contractions.

"What the hell would you know about it? After this Gabriel Novak you are not coming anywhere near me ever again, got that?" Kali growled at him the last words shouted out as another contraction hit, and Gabriel being the sensible man he was nodded his head in agreement. He had long since given up trying to coach her in her breathing, that had elicited a, let's say, less than friendly response. (Yeah I bet it did darling.)

After what felt like an eternity where her world had condensed down to pain and remembering to breathe the midwife smiled up at her and told her in sweet voice that it was time to push. At that Kali sighed in relief, it was finally, nearly over. And so she pushed, and pushed. And more pain and another push and then suddenly it was over and the midwife was proclaiming that it was a boy. She watched as the doctors and nurses took her baby to do whatever it was they did to new-borns, but she had heard the cry of her son and soon he was brought to her and she had him in her arms and suddenly the pain all seemed to fade away and looking into his squashed red face, she knew that she would happily do it all again for this perfect little man. In that second, with her son in her arms every one of her priorities shifted. This baby, her son, was now the most important thing in her world. (Yes he is.)

And Gabriel standing at her side felt the shift within him as well. They had a son and he was perfect. There was nothing he would not do for him, he knew that. This is little man had suddenly become the centre of their universe.

"Hello Loki, welcome to the world." He whispered running his finger across the baby's clenched knuckles. He then wrapped his arm around his wife and kissed her on the forehead. That kiss portraying all the feelings he had for the woman who had just made his world complete. And Kali understanding without the need for words leaned into the man she loved as they both looked down on their son, love and pride shining in their eyes. (Ah gooey mushiness.)
