"Hey everyone! Long time no talk…or rather…not that long at all, actually…I did only see you guys just last week…but anyways! Sorry for not replying to your last video, Cas! A lot of shit's been happening lately."

There are bags under his bright green eyes, and he seems to be completely exhausted, but his smile is just as bright as always.

"And before y'all go around getting super worried, no, no one died or got maimed or hospitalized or whatever. I meant that a lot of good shit's been happening. Last week, I actually met this girl. Gorgeous little thing with the prettiest eyes, and she's been keeping me preoccupied. She's actually taking a bath right now, but I'll be sure to introduce her to you soon."

He looks happier than ever.

"Anyways, her name's Emma and-"

"THAT BASTARD!"

Castiel looked absently up at his furious brother, his mind still going over what Dean had just said.

"I can't believe him!" yelled Gabriel, pacing around, his expression stormy. "I swear to God, if I ever get my hands on him-"

"Stop it, Gabe," said Castiel, his brows furrowing.

"But Cassie!"

Castiel just fixed his brother with a stern glare.

"He did not do anything wrong."

"But he shouldn't have led you on like that!"

Rolling his eyes, Castiel just sat back in his chair, trying to hide the hurt that was welling up inside him at Dean's words. "He didn't lead me on. He was just being friendly."

"He was flirting with you!"

"He's a natural flirt," replied Castiel, shrugging.

And before Gabriel could retort, Anna, who'd been watching the video with them, interrupted, saying, "Guys, can we just finish the video? It might not even be what you think it is."

"What else could it be?" demanded Gabriel. "He said this Emma chick's been keeping him "preoccupied." There aren't a whole lot of ways that could be taken, Anna."

Rolling her eyes, Anna just pulled him back down to his seat and pressed play.

"-she's going to be living with my grandparents and I, so you guys will probably be seeing a lot of her from now on.

"The main purpose of this video is actually because my brother and Ash and Charlie, who are all away for uni, have been bothering me nonstop to show them the newest Winchester."

Suddenly, there was a sound from behind him, and the door opened enough for a little girl to pop her head through, her long, strawberry blond hair damp and tangled.

"Speak of the devil!" exclaimed Dean, spinning his chair around and holding his arms open to the little girl, who ran into them, jumping up into his lap and holding a hairbrush out to him.

Taking the brush form her, Dean turned his seat back towards the camera, saying, "Viewers, this is my Emma. Say hi to them, kid."

Tilting her head to the side, the little girl seemed confused for a moment before her lips pulled into a toothy smile and she looked up at Dean.

"Are you making a YouTube video?"

At Dean's nod of affirmation, she immediately looked back at the camera, her smile even wider than before, if that was even possible.

"Hi!" she waved enthusiastically as Dean got to work gently teasing the knots out of her hair. "I'm Emma Winchester! Daddy said that I could be in one of his videos, which made me really happy because if you guys are watching his videos, then that means you like my daddy, right? I like him too! He's so much nicer than my mum was!"

Here, she shuddered theatrically, and Dean clicked his tongue in disapproval. "Hold still," he said, his brows furrowing a bit, and Emma giggled a bit before stilling.

"Daddy is so nice to me! He even lets me sleep in his bed when I get nightmares and he calls me princess and he tells me he loves me! I really like living with him and great-gramma Liz and great-granmpa Henry! It's so much better than living with my mum and my aunts and all those other girls! They're so mean to me! I'm glad I got to come live here! I don't want my daddy to die!"

Rolling his eyes a bit, Dean continued brushing her hair, saying, "I'm not going to die, Emma."

Emma nodded at this, and for a moment, her expression seemed almost sad as she cast her gaze downwards.

But the next second, she was smiling again.

Closing her eyes, she leaned her head back a bit, seemingly content to just let Dean brush her hair.

The moment of silence lasted only a minute or so before Dean started talking again, saying, "Last week, my grandparents and I were heading out to the Roadhouse for dinner with the rest of the family when Emma's mother, Lydia, showed up at our door.

"Now just keep in mind, I hadn't seen her in like…five years almost. We'd gone out for a week or something when I was eighteen, and I hadn't heard from her since. Anyways, this lady didn't even say hi, she's just like 'You got me pregnant and I've been taking care of our daughter for the past four years but I can't take it anymore, here you have her.'

"And then next thing I know, this gorgeous little princess was stepping out from behind her mother's legs and she had this cute little backpack on, and that is literally all she had with her. And then when I looked up, Lydia was already heading back to her car, and Emma was just staring at her with these sad little eyes.

"I have no idea what the fu-uh…what the hell they did to her at her mother's house, but she's had nonstop nightmares she got here, and seriously, you have no idea how much I hate those morons right now."

Emma had opened her eyes by now and was looking up at her father.

"At least I'm with you now," she said in a cheerful voice, and Dean smiled affectionately down at her.

"Thank God for that," he replied, kissing her forehead and causing her to giggle again. "Anyways, gran and gramps have been awesome, helping me take care of Emma and buying clothes for her and signing her up for the local elementary school and all those things. And Bobby was also epic, letting me take a few days off work to make Emma comfortable here.

"But now everything's settling down and life is slowly going back to normal!"

Finally finished with brushing Emma's hair, he looked up at the camera with a smile.

"Well anyways, that's it for this video, I guess! Time for mine and Emma's nap now!"

"What?" asked the little girl, looking up at Dean with her brows furrowed. "But I don't wanna take a nap!" she whined.

Rolling his eyes, Dean said, "Fine. Don't take a nap. Let me just go call Ellen and tell her not to expect us at her place tonight."

"Why? Why?" asked Emma, seeming suddenly alarmed. "I was really excited to go to auntie Ellen's! I want to see Jo again!"

"Well, we're going to be staying there for a long time, Emma," said Dean, looking down at her with a stern expression. "And since you don't want to take a nap now, you'll fall asleep before we even finish with dinner! What's the point in going if you're going to be asleep the whole time?"

Shaking her head, Emma replied, "I'll take a nap, then! I promise! So please don't call auntie Ellen."

This pulled a smile out of Dean, and he placed a pack on her temple before saying, "Well alright then, if you're really going to take a nap."

Emma nodded emphatically at this.

"Come on, then. Say goodbye to the viewers and to uncle Sammy and the rest."

Looking back at the camera, Emma smiled her toothy smile, saying, "Bye bye daddy's viewers! By uncle Sammy and Jessie and Charlie and Ash!"

Winking at the camera, Dean added his own farewells, saying, "Have an awesome day, viewers! I'll see you all soon!"

And then, almost as an afterthought, he added, "And Cas. Not sure if you're still looking for a righteous man, but either way, I'd love to hear from you again! You're a lot less annoying than some of the people I have to hang out with. Anyways, why don't you PM me your skype name so we could talk later? If you want to, that is. Anyways, by for now!"

MusicalObsession: And I thought you were impressive when you were just a working college student and popular Youtuber who'd practically raised his younger brother for the first seven years of his life. Now you're a single father too? What's next? A long-lost younger brother is found? Your dad gets out of jail? Lydia tries to kill you?

"Told you," were the first words out of Anna's mouth the moment the video was finished.

Silence was the only thing that met her words as both Gabriel and Cas were still stock still, trying to process what had just happened.

The silence stretched out for almost five minutes before Gabriel clapped Castiel on the shoulder and said, "Well congrats, Cassie. Looks like you might become a father sooner than I thought."

"What?" Castiel choked out, surprised. "I doubt anything is going to happen between us now, Gabriel. He has to think about Emma now. He's probably not looking for romance. Least of all with me."

"Hey, doesn't hurt to hope, right? Now come on, hurry up and send him your skype name!"
