January 2026 (Castiel is 36, Dean is 37 (almost 38), Eden is 12, Adrian is 9, the twins are 5, Kevin is 15).
Months passed and things were going well. Dean and Castiel had been to another scan with Charlie and she told them that the child was a boy. She couldn't say yet what kind of male he was, so they were both excited to find out. Castiel was showing quite a bit in his twenty-seventh week of pregnancy, and there were only four months until the baby's birth now. He was estimated to arrive around the 6th of May.
The article about them had been posted in the papers, and the reporter had kept her promise and had changed their names. The article had created a lot of debate in different online forums, and not everyone had positive things to say. Others thought it was an interesting insight into angel/demon relationships, and that it raised some moral questions about how they were treated. Dean and Castiel were hoping that the article could other show angels and demons who were in love that they were not alone, and that a relationship and children were possible.
On a Saturday morning in January, Castiel woke up when he felt Dean lying spooned up behind him and touching his pregnant stomach tenderly. The demon's hands were large and rough against Castiel's soft stomach skin. The angel hummed as he slowly awakened and leaned into Dean's touch. He smiled when Dean kissed him on the neck and nuzzled his wing.
"Good morning, Dean," Castiel hummed.
"Morning, Cas," Dean replied and smirked against his wing. "Sleep well?"
"Yes, I had a pleasant sleep," the angel smiled. Dean hummed and nuzzled his neck as they lay together. Castiel rolled his eyes when he felt the demon's erection poke against his clothed ass. They had had sex the night before and had pulled on their underwear and shirts again because it was a little cold – and in case the children should barge into their bedroom.
"Sorry, Cas, but you're so gorgeous that I can't help it," Dean smirked against the angel's neck, and rubbed Castiel's hairless legs with his tail.
"Your libido is insatiable, Dean," Castiel murmured with a hint of affection, and pushed his ass back against the demon's crotch. Dean let out a soft gasp and tightened his arms around him possessively.
Dean made the angel roll over on his back, and the demon helped him out of his shirt and underwear before taking off his own. When they were naked, Dean remembered the door and quickly got up to lock it before crawling back into bed. He sat up and stared down at his angel mate's bared body and how his beautiful white wings were spread out in invitation. Castiel's stomach was nice and round in the sixth month of his pregnancy, and Dean touched the stretched skin tenderly but possessively. He loved the purr that the angel made when he caressed his stomach, and Dean felt a tiny kick against his hand.
"He's kicking," Dean smiled.
"Please don't talk about the baby when we're about to have sex, Dean," Castiel groaned.
Dean laughed and leaned down to kiss his mate's belly in apology. He sat back and spread Castiel's legs further apart. He began kissing the angel's stomach and touching his sensitive wings while he snaked his other hand down between his mate's legs and slowly pushed his fingers into Castiel's body.
Castiel threw his head back and moaned as Dean spread him open and kissed and caressed his body. His dick was hard and leaking between his legs, and Dean gave it a few strokes before sitting back. Castiel glanced up at him, questioning, until Dean grabbed his legs and placed them on his hips. Castiel took the hint and wrapped his legs around the demon's waist, while Dean finally pushed into him.
They moaned together as they joined, and Dean was careful not to hurt his mate's stomach as he leaned down a bit and pushed further into him.
"Ah, Dean!" Castiel moaned, and grasped the sheets above his head tightly. "Nrrrghh."
"You make it sound like I haven't been inside you for ages, Cas," Dean teased and smirked down at him.
Castiel glared up at him. "Shut up and move, Dean."
Dean chuckled and grabbed the angel's hips as he finally pulled out and thrust forward again. He repeated the movement and made Cas yip when he stroked his cervix, which was extra sensitive during his heat and pregnancy. The angel closed his eyes as Dean thrust into him, and the demon watched his blissed face while he increased the speed.
"So gorgeous," Dean breathed while he ran a hand over the angel's stomach and then touched his left wing and caressed the white feathers. Castiel was tight and warm around him as he continued thrusting into him, and he listened to the small moans and gasps that escaped from the angel.
Castiel shuddered and dug his heels into Dean's ass to make him slide further into him. "Harder, Dean, please."
Dean smirked and pulled his hand away from the angel's wing. "Alright, you asked for it." He shifted his hips and used his hands to pull Castiel's hips up as well, allowing him to slip further inside him. He grabbed his pillow and put it under the angel's lower back so he had better access, before leaning over Castiel and started thrusting harder. Castiel gasped, and his swollen stomach touched against Dean's muscled one but they were both being careful about not pressing against it too hard. Dean brought a hand up and rubbed it over the angel's chest and teased his nipples which made Castiel buck and mewl.
Castiel suddenly looked up at Dean and then at his wings. He moved his hand up and touched the demon's feathers who had instantly let them soften when he saw the angel's intentions. Dean moaned as Cas touched his wings and gripped the feathers tightly as the demon thrust into him. Suddenly Castiel pulled Dean down for a deep kiss, which the demon eagerly responded to. Their tongues met and danced while they moaned into the kiss, and Dean touched his mate's stomach possessively.
Castiel came first and his come covered their lower abdomens while he moaned out Dean's name. The demon grunted and buried his face in Castiel's neck while he shot his load into him. Dean leaned back and grabbed his cock; pulling it out of Castiel and let the rest of his come coat the angel's pregnant stomach. Castiel shivered and moaned, and Dean let out a satisfied sigh when it was over. They both enjoyed the tingling afterglow in their bodies and hummed.
Dean grinned at the angel when he briefly glared up at him.
"We only just woke up and you've made me dirty already," Castiel grumbled, and peered down at the semen that was covering his belly.
"I can fix that," Dean smirked. He leaned down to lick his come off the angel stomach.
"Oh!" Castiel gasped and shuddered. "Dean, that tickles," he said, and giggled a bit when the demon continued licking off the come from his skin. Dean chuckled and put both his hands on the angel's belly while he licked him clean. When his stomach was clean, Dean moved further down and licked the angel's softened dick clean as well.
"Ahh," Castiel gasped softly. He stared at Dean when the demon leaned back with a huge grin and licked the rest of the come off his lips. Castiel's eyes followed the movement closely.
"Happy now?" Dean smirked.
"Yes, that was much better," the angel chuckled. "Now it's just you who's dirty," he said, and glanced down at Dean's come-covered dick.
Dean followed his gaze before smirking up at him. "Well, I can't reach, so…"
Castiel rolled his eyes and gestured for Dean to come closer. With his pregnant stomach in the way, the angel didn't feel like crawling down to meet Dean, so the demon would have to come to him. Dean didn't seem to mind, though; he grinned and eagerly moved up the bed before kneeling next to Castiel's face. Castiel leaned in and licked the come off demon's softened cock so that they were both come-free. Dean stroked the angel's dark hair while he licked him and watched him intensely.
Afterwards, Dean unlocked the door and lay back down in the bed. They pulled on their underwear and shirts again as they cuddled a bit. They would have to get up soon but they were both tired and lazy, so they decided to lay together for a bit.
After a little while, Eden suddenly burst into their bedroom without warning, making them both flinch.
"Papa! Daddy! Help me, there is blood on my bed and I'm bleeding!" Eden cried, panicked. "I think I'm dying," she sniffled, and her wings flared distraughtly.
Dean sat up and stared at her in worry, until he suddenly chuckled in relief and slumped back against the bed. He turned his head to look at Castiel, who was sitting on the bed and looking at Eden. The angel's expression quickly turned into one of relief as well, which only confused Eden more.
"I think that's your department to explain about, Cas," Dean smirked.
Castiel glared down at him briefly before sighing and getting up. "It's okay, Eden, it's natural. Come, let's go to your room and I'll explain it to you." He supported his belly as he got up and wrapped a bathrobe around himself which he had put next to the bed the night before.
"Natural? How can it be natural! I'm bleeding!" Eden exclaimed, confused and scared, and was almost reluctant to follow Castiel out of the room.
Castiel put an arm around her gently and guided her out. "I'll explain," he said softly.
Dean watched them go and could hear the panic remaining in Eden's voice when he heard their muffled voices from the hallway, before they moved into Eden's room and shut the door. The demon remained on the bed a bit longer before finally getting up. It was 8:20am, so he knew the twins were probably up already.
Dean put on some clothes and walked down into the living room. Isaac and Lily were sitting on their beanbags, watching cartoons.
"Daddy!" Lily cheered when she saw him and ran over to hug him.
"Good morning, little princess. Did you and your brother behave well this morning?" Dean smiled and hugged her back.
Lily pulled back and looked up at him. "Yeah… we did," she said, and giggled up at him innocently.
Dean raised an eyebrow. "You sure about that?"
Lily hesitated and stared over at Isaac, whose face was still glued to the television. She looked back up at Dean and said, "Well, Isaac drew a bit on the door…" she muttered, and pointed at the door that Dean had just come in through from the entrance hall. Dean followed her gaze and saw that the wooden colored door was full of random crayon drawings. "And I helped him a bit…" Lily admitted, and looked up at him from under her lashes.
Dean groaned. "Why is it that you two can never be alone, huh? I'll go get something to clean it up with, but you are going to clean that up, not me!" He went out into the entrance hall to the closet under the stairs where they kept the cleaning materials locked away safely.
"Nooo, it wasn't on purpose!" Lily exclaimed. She turned and looked at her twin. "Isaac, daddy wants us to clean the door."
Isaac stared back at her. "What? Nooo!"
"That's too bad, kids, you shouldn't have painted on the door then," Dean said from the entrance hall, and reappeared in the living room with a bucket and rugs. He went over to the kitchen to fill the bucket with water. "It's your own fault."
The twins were utterly unhappy about having to clean, and they begged Dean to clean it for them but the demon had none of it. He put the bucket on the floor and told them to start rubbing. The twins reluctantly got started and argued with each other over whose fault it was. Dean helped them out a bit and rubbed away the difficult parts. When they were done, the twins went to wash their hands before sitting down by the TV again. They were still pouting and annoyed that they had to clean it up, but Dean was pretty sure they weren't drawing on the doors again anytime soon.
A few minutes later, Castiel and Eden came downstairs.
"What happened?" Castiel asked he saw the wet door, which no longer had any trace left of colored crayon.
"The twins painted with crayon all over the door, so I had them clean it up," Dean said and came over to him.
Eden stood behind Castiel and she had a rather displeased look on her face. Castiel frowned over at the twins and went into the living room and towards the kitchen. Eden slowly followed after him, and Dean chuckled when she walked funnily.
"You okay there, kiddo?" Dean asked and grinned at her in amusement.
Eden glared at him. "I don't like being a girl," she grumbled. She stared briefly at the twins who sat quietly by the TV. They were so absorbed by it that they didn't hear anything around them. Adrian was still asleep upstairs – he had finally started sleeping until after 8:30am instead of getting up at around seven.
Dean laughed and ruffled her hair. "Yeah, I'm glad I'm not."
"Is it true what papa told me? About how babies are made?" Eden asked him with a weird frown on her face.
"I don't know. What did you tell her, Cas?" Dean asked and looked over at his mate who was currently getting his wallet ready over by the couch.
"I told her the true story, Dean. She's too old to have things wrapped up in cotton before you hand it to her," Castiel muttered.
Dean chuckled at the metaphor, and looked back down at Eden. "Well, then what he said is true, yeah."
Eden grimaced a bit. "That's a bit disgusting."
"If it was that disgusting, your papa and I wouldn't have that many children," Dean pointed out and smirked.
Eden groaned. "I don't wanna hear about it." She covered her ears with her hands and Dean couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm going out to buy Eden some pads now. You can start making breakfast for the children, I think they might be hungry," Castiel spoke, and walked past them and headed for the garage door in the entrance hall.
"Okay, but don't use my Baby, she needs her brakes looked at," Dean told him.
Castiel rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't dare driving that car without your permission anyway, Dean." He gave the demon a small smirk before disappearing into the garage and soon drove off to the supermarket.
Eden walked towards the kitchen to sit down at the dining table. She cringed at every step she took, and Dean felt kinda sorry for her.
"It'll go away in 3-6 days or so, I think," Dean said and came over to her.
"That's a long time," she muttered and stared at the table.
"You'll survive," Dean smiled and patted her head gently. "They didn't tell you about this at school?"
"No… They never talk about such things. They never taught us about how babies are made, and the other children haven't talked much about it either because we get scolded if we do."
"And I thought they'd tell you about this now that you are becoming small adults."
"Tell that to my teachers," Eden said and smirked up at him.
Dean chuckled and went over to prepare some breakfast.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The weather was nice and sunny that day, so Dean and Castiel took the children outside to play in the afternoon. When Kevin was on the sidewalk with his dog, they went over to greet him. The kids loved being around Maggie, and Kevin seemed to like their interest in his dog. Isaac gave Maggie his favorite tennis ball, and he laughed when he tried taking it from her mouth and the dog tried her best to keep it. They were careful about the children or the dog running out into the street while playing roughly on the sidewalk, and in the meanwhile Dean and Castiel talked a bit with Kevin and his mother who had just appeared. Mrs. Tran had read the newspaper article and immediately knew it was about them. She started asking them a lot of questions about it, and Kevin seemed a little embarrassed of all the questions she kept asking.
Eden kept going inside to use the bathroom, which confused her siblings a lot. She was too embarrassed to have them know about her period, and she was grateful when Dean and Castiel told them that she simply had a bad stomach. Which wasn't entirely untrue.
A human boy living further down the street came up to play with Adrian. The two were pretty good friends, and sometimes they played together in the nearby playground. Mostly they played ball games like soccer or basketball together with some of the other boys in the neighborhood. The boy's name was Steven, and he was eight months younger than Adrian.
Since the traffic on the street was rather limited, Dean, Castiel, Mrs. Tran, and Steven's parents observed as the children started playing soccer on the street. Two other kids (8 and 11 years old) in the neighborhood joined their game, and the neighbors seemed to be in a good mood with the children all playing happily together. Whenever a car came by they would tell the kids to run up on the sidewalk and wait until it had passed. Eden wasn't playing because of her condition, so she sat down on the gutter and petted Maggie's fur as the dog lay down beside her. Kevin had gone to join the younger kids in playing.
Dean wrapped his arm around Castiel's waist as they watched the children play. Isaac and Lily were eagerly running after the ball, and laughing and shrieking all the time, while Adrian was a bit more focused.
Dean leaned in and nuzzled his nose against the angel's temple. "I gotta go inside and call my parents and Jo about our plans on my upcoming birthday. I'll be right back, okay?"
"Alright, take your time, Dean," Castiel smiled, and leaned into Dean's touch as the demon rested his forehead against his. The demon smiled before going back inside their house, and Castiel stood with Mrs. Tran and looked at the children.
"C'mon, Kevin! Don't get beat by children younger than you!" Mrs. Tran cheered when the ball ended up at Kevin's feet and he was fighting to bring it to goal. The goal was just a simple chalk marking on the asphalt.
Castiel chuckled at her and rubbed his stomach absently when he felt the baby kick a bit. Eden was sitting in front of him and watched the game with Maggie. The dog seemed to rather want a few gentle pats than play ball right now, although her eyes followed the ball very closely all the time.
Kevin gave the ball a pretty hard kick to get it to goal, but unfortunately his foot hit it wrong and it ended up flying over towards Brad's house, which was close to where they were playing. The house was pretty close to the street, and the ball hit right against the window and smashed it completely.
Everyone gasped in horror, and Kevin paled when they heard a loud, angry roar from inside.
"Who the fuck smashed my window?!" Brad shouted and stormed out of his house and into the street.
"Uh-oh," Mrs. Tran said, and stared wide-eyed as Brad growled and stalked over to the children.
"You again, you nasty little half-breeds! Which one of you smashed my window, 'cause I swear you're gonna pay! You destroyed my late mother's old vase in the windowsill as well!" Brad growled and spread his sharp wings in aggression.
The children all flinched back, scared, and Lily started crying.
"Papa!" Lily cried and ran over to Castiel who was already making his way over to them. She buried her face in his shirt when she reached him, not caring much for the pregnant bump that was in the way.
"Shhh, it's alright, sweetie," Castiel soothed her and rubbed her back. Isaac and Adrian came over to him as well while they stared back at Brad cautiously.
Brad spotted Castiel and stalked over to him. "You! Learn to keep your half-breeds in check! If you can't control them, then why do you even have them?!"
"Whoa, take it easy there," Steven's father said and slowly approached Brad to calm him down, but quickly changed his mind when the demon snarled at him. The other parents were wary about approaching as well, because none of them were very used to aggressive demons, and demons could get pretty scary when they were angry.
Kevin looked at the scene and quickly came over to aid Castiel. "Hey, it wasn't them who—"
Brad cut him off with an aggressive growl before taking a threatening step towards Castiel. The angel stared back at him in fear and folded his wings tightly behind his back, while putting a protective hand on his stomach. He quickly pushed his children behind him as Brad glowered and growled at him. Eden had gotten up as well, but she didn't dare coming too close.
"Hey! That's enough, asshat!" one of the fathers said and came over and put a hand on Brad's shoulder. Brad immediately growled at the human male and knocked him to the ground, and all the other neighbors quickly came to try to subdue to the angry demon.
Castiel watched the scene with wide eyes and tried to push his children further back.
The adults were fighting to calm Brad down, who was still extremely upset and aggressive over the incident, but he pushed them away whenever they came near him. Brad's wife came running out of their house, looking panicked, and tried talking sense into her mate but he didn't listen. Maggie was barking as the people started fighting, but Eden grabbed her leash tightly to keep her back to avoid her biting someone.
Brad was fighting off anyone who tried to come over and calm him down. Castiel and the children were standing rather close because the fight had moved in their direction, and the angel was just about to move further away when it happened: Steven's father tried to sneak up behind Brad to grab his arms, and Brad snarled and threw him off – making him fall right into Castiel and knock them both to the ground.
"Papa!" the children cried out in horror.
Castiel had landed on his right side – his arm and wing got hurt as he tried to soften his fall on the hard asphalt, and he groaned in pain. Steven's father was mostly unharmed, and he looked at Castiel with wide eyes when he saw that he had knocked the angel to the ground when Brad pushed him into him.
All the parents gasped, and Brad froze completely when he saw the pregnant angel lying on his side on the ground. He stared at Castiel wide-eyed, and panic and guilt were evident in his eyes.
In the next moment, Dean came running out of the house and storming towards Brad in fury. His wings were sharp and spread out, and his eyes boiled with rage as he knocked Brad to the ground, hard.
"How dare you hurt my mate, you god damned piece of shit!" Dean roared and began punching Brad in his rage. He was out of it from anger and aggression, and Brad was so taken aback by it that he hardly fought back.
The other neighbors immediately came over to yank Dean off of Brad, but Dean snarled at them and continued beating the other demon who had hurt his pregnant mate.
Their children watched the scene in fear and came over to Castiel to see if he was alright. Kevin quickly grabbed Maggie's leash from Eden's hands when she couldn't hold on anymore, and Eden rushed over to Castiel. Maggie barked and was out of control because of all the fighting, so Kevin had to hold on tight.
"Please stop," Brad begged in between the punches. "I didn't mean to hurt him!"
Dean snarled at him until the others finally managed to yank him off. He glared down at Brad who was still on the ground and growled at him before quickly making his way over to Cas. He kneeled in front of the angel and began searching him for injuries. "Cas! Cas, you okay?"
Castiel sat up a bit and groaned at the pain in his arm and wing. He cupped his belly with his left hand and stared down at it. "Yes, I think I'm okay. I didn't land on my stomach, so I think the baby is alright."
Dean instantly looked more relieved, and tried to help Cas sit up more. "You okay? Does it hurt?"
"My arm and wing hurt… as does my hip. I landed on them during my fall," Castiel said, and groaned when he brought his arm and wing up to inspect them. There were some scrapes on his arm and his wing looked a little messy.
"Is papa okay?" Lily sniffled. The children were gathered around him, looking scared and worried, and Lily and Isaac were crying. Adrian tried to keep the twins back to let Castiel have some space, but he looked equally worried about his papa.
"I don't know, we better bring him to the hospital just in case," Dean said, and carefully helped Castiel get up on his feet. He supported the angel the best he could although Cas seemed to keep his balance rather well. He glared in Brad's direction when the demon stood up and looked over at them. Brad's face was a bloody mess, and it pleased Dean to see that.
"I didn't mean for him to get hurt," Brad muttered.
"Yeah, right, as if I haven't seen the racist looks you've given him and my family!" Dean snapped.
"Dean…" Castiel spoke and tried to calm him down. He could feel Dean trembling with anger against him, while his left arm was slung over the demon's shoulder. Their wings were touching because they stood so close, and he could feel Dean's wing tremble as he tried to control his anger. Eden stood on his other side and glanced up at them both in worry, while Adrian and the twins were right behind them.
"I may despise you and your family, but I wouldn't hurt a pregnant person. My standards aren't that low," Brad growled, and wiped some blood away from his mouth with his hand.
Dean gave him a look before guiding Castiel over to their house.
Kevin slowly approached Brad. "Um, it was actually me who hit that ball through your window. I didn't mean to, I'm sorry. I'll pay for the window and, um, the vase… I hope it wasn't that expensive." Maggie was growling up at Brad, and Kevin tugged at her leash to make her stop.
Brad turned his head to look at him and huffed. "Never mind the damned vase, it was only important 'cause it was my mother's. As for the window, we can talk about that later." He walked back over to his mate who came over and inspected his beat up face in horror. They quietly walked back to their house while the rest of the neighbors remained with Dean and Castiel.
"You better take him to the hospital in case the baby got hurt. He might not feel it just yet," one of the female neighbors said. Her son and the other neighbor kids looked equally concerned about Castiel, although the angel seemed to be doing fine considering what had just happened.
"Yeah, I'll take him there now," Dean said as he helped Castiel into the passenger seat of the Tahoe. It was still parked in the driveway after Castiel had used it earlier. The angel sat in and sighed once he was finally seated, and rubbed his stomach in worry.
"I'll look after your children while you're gone, if you want me to," Mrs. Tran offered.
Dean smiled at her. "Yeah, that'd be helpful, thank you."
"What? But I wanna come with you and see if papa will be okay!" Eden protested and looked up at Dean.
"No, I need you to stay with your younger siblings and make sure they behave well. Don't worry about your papa, the doctors will take good care of him," Dean told her, and leaned down to kiss Eden's forehead. He touched Adrian's arm to reassure him when the boy glanced up at him with distraught eyes.
Dean sad goodbye to the children and got into the car to drive Castiel to the hospital for a check-up.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
When they arrived at the hospital, Dean helped Castiel inside, although the angel insisted that he was well enough to walk on his own and didn't need help. Dean had made a quick call to Charlie – she was the only ob/gyn that Cas trusted, and she had told them that if anything happened that could hurt the baby, they should call her.
While they waited for Charlie's arrival, a nurse took them into a room and treated Castiel's arm, which had a few scrapes but no serious injuries. His hip had no visible scrapes, though it was likely to get a bit colored with bruising after the fall. The angel wouldn't let her touch his wing and flinched when she tried to grab it. It wasn't unusual for submissives to only allow their mates to touch their wings, even in a situation like this. The human nurse just gave him a smile and handed the disinfectant to Dean so he could treat the wing for her. The wing was sore, and behind the messy feathers you could see the mildly bruised skin. Dean carefully touched the place with a wet cloth and Castiel winced in pain.
After a few minutes, Charlie finally arrived. "Hey, guys," she said and quickly came over to them. They were sitting on the single bed in the small room with Dean still holding a cold cloth against the angel's wing to soothe the aching. "What happened?" she asked and looked between them and the angel's stomach.
"That fucking neighbor of ours made Cas fall on ground, hard. He fell on his side, but we don't know if the baby is alright," Dean told her. He didn't seem aware of his tail rubbing against his mate's leg in worry.
"Okay, let's get you into another room so we can have a look at the baby and see if everything is fine, shall we?" she said, and guided them out.
They walked up to the next floor into a room with ultrasound equipment. She closed the door behind them and gestured for Cas to lie down on the bed next to the machines. When the angel lay down, Charlie pushed up his shirt and prepared for the scan.
Dean sat on a chair next to the bed and held Castiel's hand. His leg bounced restlessly while he waited for Charlie to tell them good or bad news.
"Any pains in your stomach, Castiel?" Charlie asked while she did the scan.
"No, it feels normal, it's just my hip that feels a bit sore," Castiel replied.
"Good," she smiled. After a few moments of staring at the screen, she pulled the tool away from Castiel's stomach and smiled at them. "The baby is fine, I see no reason to worry about him. His heartbeat is fine and the placenta and everything is in place. But falling is definitely something you should avoid in your condition, Castiel."
Dean sighed in relief, as did the angel.
"Well, it wasn't really my fault," Castiel told her and smiled a little. "Thank you, Charlie, I'm relieved that the baby is fine."
"I think Dean is too," Charlie grinned and looked at Dean who was slumped over in relief.
"Yeah, for a moment I was a little concerned. This guy may be unplanned, but I don't wanna lose him, not ever," Dean said, and put his hand on Castiel's stomach and smiled at his mate. Castiel smiled back and put his hand on top of Dean's. They grinned when the baby kicked a little right where Dean's hand was.
"Hmm, I think the little guy appreciates your words, Dean," Charlie smirked.
Dean laughed and Castiel smiled. The demon leaned in to place a soft kiss on the angel's forehead before they got up and said goodbye to Charlie.
"See you around the 6th of May, or whenever your baby decides to come. I'm actually quite excited about what this boy will be, since you already have alpha and beta sons," Charlie said with a big smile on her face.
"Yeah, me too, actually," Dean grinned. "See you, Charlie, and thanks."
When they left the hospital they held hands and were relieved that things weren't worse than they were. Castiel's arm, hip, and wing were still sore and aching from the bruises, but it would soon go away. The angel rolled his eyes when Dean kept walking very close to him and being protective.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Papa!" all the children exclaimed when they picked them up at the Trans' house. They ran over to Castiel and hugged him tightly, and the angel smiled when all his children gathered him in a group hug.
"Hello, children, don't worry about me, everything is fine," Castiel told them and touched the top of their heads to reassure them.
"We were scared that something had happened to you and the baby," Adrian said.
"Are you really okay?" Eden asked.
Castiel smiled at them. "Yes, I'm alright. I'm a little sore but I'll live."
They all hugged him again, and the twins were sobbing against him. Dean smiled when he saw how relieved the children were that Castiel was fine.
"Good to hear you are okay. You better stay far, far away from fights in the future, Castiel," Mrs. Tran told him firmly.
"Yes, I'll be sure to do that," Castiel replied and smiled at her.
When they came back to their own house, Dean told Cas to sit down on the couch and relax while he fixed them dinner. Castiel was reluctant to because he wasn't that badly hurt, but the children insisted as well. So, he sat on the couch with the children gathered around him and read them a story from one of the twins' books. Although Eden and Adrian were a bit too old for those kinds of stories, they sat and listened quietly, and Dean smiled at the scene when he looked over at them. The twins leaned against the angel's sides but were careful of his stomach and bruised limbs. During the story, they both leaned down to rest their heads against his pregnant stomach while listening, and Castiel smiled. Eden and Adrian leaned closer, and Dean joined them when dinner was cooking.
