Hello again my lovelies. I would like to thank rainystv for the lovely review.
So here we go the next chapter. Now this is a few days after the last I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural. If I did Gabriel would be not dead and instead making Cas' life a misery. He he he.
It was Friday night and Dean was waiting at the bar of The Roadhouse (back again, we haven't been here for a while) for his brother to arrive so that he could integrate him about the suspicious behaviour of him and his wife at Gabriel's on Tuesday evening. With that plan in mind he had already procured two bottles of beer from Ellen.
"Sorry I'm late man. My last client just wouldn't leave." Sam said as he rushed in and took his seat next to Dean and grabbed the beer taking a much needed swallow.
"See that's why I like being on the force. No one ever wants to stay at the station." Dean replied with a smile at his brother while he looked him over. He didn't look much different, though he was more unkempt and ruffled than normal, though that could be the late client rather than anything to do with Jess, but still. Dean would find out. (I bet you will.)
"So how's Jess?" he asked casually and watched, smirking as his brother tensed slightly before forcing himself to relax.
"She's fine why?" Sam asked casually not looking at Dean.
"Oh just wondered, what with her not drinking at Gabe's." Dean replied equally causally taking a sip of his beer to hide the smirk on his lips.
"She just didn't want a drink, nothing wrong with that." Sam said defensively with a shrug making Dean just shake his head at him.
"Really dude? That's the line you're going to use? On me?" he asked in disbelief.
"Jerk, I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it from you." Sam grumbled taking another swallow of his beer.
"Nope bitch, I'm a detective." Dean replied smugly.
"Wouldn't've believed that when we we're all trying to get you and Cas together." Sam countered with hoping to get Dean to forget the conversation. (Like that's going to work Sam.)
"Yeah well no one's perfect. But this isn't about me so spill." Dean said smirking at his brother. (Told you.)
"Jess is pregnant. We're having a baby. Crap, I'm going to be a dad." Sam said his eyes suddenly going wide as he realised this and grabbed his beer to have another swallow at the thought. Dean just watched him and chuckled before slapping him on the back as he spoke.
"About time. Congrats man."
"Thanks uncle Dean." Sam smirked at him, or at least tried to. In truth he had a massive smile on his face at the thought of his future child.
"So how's she doing?" Dean asked conversationally.
"Hell. She's having morning noon and night sickness, she can't keep anything down. I've no idea what to do." Sam replied frowning now he remembered all the times he had woken over the last week to the sound of his wife being sick.
"Well don't look at me for advice, I'm not going to be having that problem, like ever." Dean said somewhat wistfully and Sam looking at him opened his mouth and then closed it again. There was nothing much he could say to that. He knew Dean wanted kids but with Cas that wasn't likely to happen unless they adopted and he had no idea if Dean and Cas had even thought about that. They had after all only just moved in with each other. (Very true, hmm do I see another story? Anyway I'm back.)
"So when she due?" Dean asked pulling himself out of his slightly melancholy thoughts and back to the idea of becoming an uncle.
"Seven and half months." Sam replied the smile returning.
"Cool. Well here's to the newest member of the Winchester clan." Dean said raising his bottle and clinking it against his brothers then turning the conversation to something else.
After Sam had left (he only stayed for the one) Dean sat there and thought about what he could do to help Jess and his brother. He didn't really know anything about pregnancy, but if it was a case of finding tempting food for her to be able to keep down he knew just who to ask.
Gabriel was busy finishing off the morning baking when the bell of the shop went. Going into the front of the store he was surprised to see Dean here at this early hour of the morning. It was his belief that Dean-o liked to sleep in on the weekends, with his brother at his side. (Yeah sleep, right.)
"What can I do for you Dean-o? Pie by any chance?" Gabriel asked smiling up at the guy.
"Yeah. Well no that's not why I'm here." Dean replied looking round the bakery to make sure they were the only ones there.
"Oh now I'm intrigued. Are you here to get something special for Cassie?" Gabriel asked his eyes lighting up like a child on Christmas at the thought of making something special for his brother. Now his secret was out he could really go to town on it. (Aw bless. Not this time, maybe the next?)
"No this has nothing to do with him." Dean replied chuckling at how Gabriel's face fell when he said those words.
"So why are you here?" Gabriel asked grumpy now.
"Well it's about Sam, well not really but I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone but Cas. Though I doubt he would mind me telling you what with you being family, but you can't tell anyone else okay?" Dean rushed to say making Gabriel's eyebrows raise. What the hell was going on with the Winchesters now? (Always the question isn't it?)
"Now I'm just confused. Tell anyone else what?" He asked reasonably.
"Promise." Dean demanded making Gabriel roll his eyes.
"I promise not to tell. Now what is it I'm not supposed to know?" He said holding up his hand as if making a pledge.
"Jess is pregnant." Dean finally said, a smile appearing on his face at the words.
"Well congrats to them. But really what does this have to do with me? Cos I would put money on the fact that Sammy is the father." Gabriel replied cheekily. He was glad that Sam and Jess where having a baby. He liked those two and he firmly believed they were made for each other.
"What? Of course he's the father." Dean said scandalised that Gabriel would even suggest such a thing. But then he just shook his head. This was Gabriel. "No its just she isn't well and can't seem to keep anything down." he continued.
"And?" Gabriel asked still not seeing what any of this had to do with him.
"Well Cas told me what you did in New York." Dean started and watching Gabriel he noticed the man tense slightly at the words New York. What was that about?
"What do you mean?" Gabriel asked cautiously, he still wasn't 100% sure what Cassie did and did not know about that time.
"How you worked for that Shiva guy, who's some bigwig chefy person." Dean explained with a wave of his hand dismissing Shiva instantly which just made Gabriel chuckle in disbelief.
"Yeah you could say that. Three Michelin stars is rather a big deal in the chefy world." He replied amusement still lacing his voice at Dean's lack of knowledge.
"Well I thought maybe you could come up with something she could eat you know?" Dean continued as if Gabriel hadn't spoken. He didn't really care about Shiva, he cared about helping Sam and Jess.
"Ginger biscuits." Gabriel replied instantly and absently as he started wiping down the counter.
"What?" Dean asked extremely confused.
"Ginger biscuits as soon as she wakes up, the ginger should help to settle her stomach." Gabriel explained to him.
"Ginger biscuits? That's it?" Dean asked, he wasn't sure what he had expected but it hadn't been ginger freaking biscuits.
"No, but it's a start." Gabriel replied smirking at him. He knew exactly what was going through Dean's head, and let's be honest he could never pass up the chance of winding up Dean. (Of course you can't.)
"How do you know that?" Dean asked suspiciously.
"Some information is need to know Dean-o, and you don't need to know." Gabriel replied waggling his eyebrows and smirking at the other man making Dean pale slightly.
"Oh god please don't tell me you've got some kid running around somewhere." Dean asked in horror at the idea of a miniature Gabriel.
"No children Dean. Not yet at least. Leave it with me, I'll make something to tempt Jess into eating." Gabriel replied with a smile. God Dean made it so easy sometimes.
"Thanks Gabe. I'll come by at four to get it okay?" Dean asked. He wanted to take whatever Gabe created round to Jess that evening if he could. The sooner he could help the better in his opinion.
"Sure no problem." Gabriel replied with a genuine smile at Dean. He truly loved Sam and Jess and would do anything for either of them. And not for the first time Gabriel was glad that Cassie had found him.
"So how did your date with Kali go?" Dean asked cheekily leaning on the top of the counter and giving him his imitation of Gabriel's waggling eyebrows, which he failed at miserably but Gabriel decided to let him off this time as his mind had already concentrated on the thought of Kali. His Kali.
"Amazing." He replied with the, as Sam had termed it, goofy in love smile on his face.
"When you seeing her again?" Dean asked excited. He was glad that Gabe was happy, he knew that it was something that Cas really wanted.
"Haven't arranged anything yet." Gabriel replied with a shrug making Dean stand up and exclaim.
"Gabriel!"
"What? She started it." Gabriel grumbled. And she had, with all that not a date business.
"I don't want to know what you mean by that just call the woman." Dean said in exasperation. God Gabriel could be such a child sometimes.
"Maybe later." Gabriel replied nonchalantly. He was not going to tell Dean that the real reason he hadn't called Kali was he was worried that she would say no. (Oh sweetheart, I wouldn't be that mean, I think.)
"You'll lose her if you're not careful." Dean said pointing at him.
"Oh no Dean-o not this time. I have it all planed out." Gabriel replied with his assured smile on his face, even if he felt anything but. Dean was right. He really did need to call her but…
"Well good luck to you then, see you four." Dean said with a shake of his head and turning to leave the bakery.
"Later." Gabriel shouted after him and then went back to thinking about Kali. No he would think about her later, for now he had a project to do. With that he pulled his computer towards him and googled early pregnancy and what foods Jess would be able to eat.
