Casey and Dean decided that for Easter, they would get everybody together. All of the immediate family would be piled into their house for the first time. Casey's parents, her sisters, Daniel, and John. There were about to be a shit ton of dogs in one house, and she couldn't be more excited. She loved her whole family, and she couldn't wait to make the news official to her family that she and Dean were expecting a little girl.

But first she had to get whatever was in her eye, out of her eye. She had one eye open and the other shut while she stood in the master bathroom; dress still unzipped and applying the finishing touches on her hair until Dean walked in. He took one glance at his wife before zipping her dress and helping with her hair.

"Did you get mascara in your eye again?"

"No but there's something in my eye, babe. Can you blow on it?"

"Open up and let me see. God, your eyes are gorgeous." Dean complimented as he found the irritant and blew on her eye. "Good?"

"Good. Thank you, bunny."

"It's my job, kitten."

"No, your job is kicking ass and taking names." Casey argued with a laugh, placing her hands on his bare chest while his hands found her hips.

"I'm a husband and father first."

"And I appreciate that. Put on your shirt, my parents are going to be here any minute."

"They've seen me without a shirt on. JJ decided that he was taking an after-breakfast nap, so he's still in his jammies. I'll get him up and dressed once I'm dressed." Dean explained and Casey nodded, leaning up to kiss him softly.

"You're wonderful. I don't know how to deal with this baby bump, though."

"It's cute. I was actually disappointed when you didn't really start showing until the third trimester with JJ." Dean admitted with a small smile, placing his hands on her stomach gently.

"Really?"

"Yeah, but you're showing now and that makes it all the more real that we're going to have another. Hopefully little Mariah Claire looks just like her mother so I can buy a gun."

"You are not buying a gun to keep in this house." Casey laughed, playfully swatting at Dean's arm.

"She's not going to be dating until she's married, Case. I just want to throw that out there." He stated firmly, resting his forehead on his wife's so that his baby blues stared directly into her chocolate brown eyes.

"You're ridiculous, you know that?" Casey asked with a small smile, wrapping her arms around his neck before pecking his lips.

"It's why you keep me around, kitten." He mumbled against her lips. "Put more of that lip gloss on my lips, baby mama."

"That's so not an attractive nickname so I'm not sure that I should." Casey teased, but kissed him regardless. "Now put on your shirt."

"There's my handsome grandson!" Kathy cooed, rising from her seat on the couch as soon as Dean reached the bottom of the staircase with JJ in his arms. Both were dressed in blue button downs, Dean's was a dark blue while JJ's was more of a pale blue, and slacks with their hair combed back neatly just the way Casey liked it. Even though this was a family event, he was going to make sure that she was happy and stress-free.

"Go see nana." Dean instructed JJ, setting him on his feet and watching carefully as he made his way to Kathy.

"You just look more and more like your father every day, don't you?" Kathy cooed, not failing to notice the way Dean smirked with pride. "Did Casey dress you guys?"

"Actually, she wanted us in lavender. But blue looks so much better on us so I had to politely refuse."

"It really compliments your eyes." Brie commented as she and Bryan walked through the door, little Josie running passed to catch up with Carter. "Where's Casey?"

"With your father in the kitchen talking about the salad." Kathy informed as she picked up JJ. Dean made a beeline for the kitchen, seeing her and her father snacking on ham in the kitchen.

"Save some for everyone but Daniel, you two."

"Shut up, Dean." The father/daughter duo scolded in unison and the blonde only shrugged, taking the plate of ham away and carrying it to the table. The unmistakable whine of his hungry wife could be heard and made him feel bad about taking food away from his nineteen weeks pregnant wife. But she'd eat enough once John and Nikki got there.

Dinner flowed easily. Everybody made small talk over what they had been up to recently, JJ would throw in his two cents in between spoonfuls of potatoes that Casey was feeding him. Dean would casually rub her stomach, waiting for her to mention their good news. She always knew how to break things to them, which was something that he still wasn't totally sure about even after being with her for so long.

"So, Casey, are you and Dean planning anything special for JJ's birthday?" Kathy asked and everyone looked to where Casey was basically worshipping a piece of ham.

"Ma, his birthday is in February. It's April. But I was thinking maybe something small at like Chuck. E. Cheese or something. I'm not going to have time to do everything that we did for his first."

"Why won't you have time?" Nikki asked, narrowing her eyes at her younger sister. "No way. I thought you were just getting fat!"

"Nicole!" Brie and Casey laughed together while their mother shook her head.

"How far along are you?" Bryan asked, looking to Dean since Casey hadn't recovered from her laughing fit.

"Nineteen weeks."

"What name am I putting on her quilt?" Kathy asked, knowing that the two had to have chosen a name. They jumped to things like that often.

"Mariah Claire."

"That's so cute." Brie gushed. "Who chose?"

"Dean did. Long before we got married. A bit after we moved in together, actually." Casey informed, lightly poking Dean's cheek before going back to feeding JJ. Easter was officially a success in Dean's opinion, and next year was when they'd gather everybody.
