Castiel had a strange day that Saturday. When Dean had returned from the bar last evening he had told him Sam and Jess' news and Castiel was genuinely pleased for them. He was glad they were having a child, but as the evening progressed he watched Dean and he seemed to have an almost dreamy look on his face which confused Castiel. Then the next morning Dean had woken him ridiculously early to inform him he was going to see if he could get Gabriel to make something to tempt Jess into eating.
Castiel was glad that Dean was getting involved with Jess' pregnancy, well as long as Sam and Jess didn't mind but he didn't think they would, it was just, watching Dean Castiel wondered something that had never once crossed his mind in his life before. Did Dean want children? As a gay man he had never really considered the possibility of ending up with someone who wanted a family, but what if Dean did? What would Castiel do then? He had no idea if he wanted children or not. Though if he was honest before he had met Dean the answer would have been a definite not. But meeting Dean had changed a lot of things in Castiel's life, he just wondered if this was one of them.
It was with these thoughts buzzing round in his head that he went through his day. Charlie who was working with him kept asking him if he was all right and what was wrong, but he couldn't tell her anything. No he wouldn't speak of any of it until he had figured it out himself.
Dean turned up at Angel Books at 3.45 with the aim to steal Cas away so they could go to The Bakery, collect whatever Gabriel had been cooking then go round to Jess and Sam's place for the evening. To celebrate another Winchester coming into the world. He was so excited about the idea of being an uncle, though at the back of his mind was the thought that this was probably the closest he would ever get to being a father. But that was the choice he made when he had chosen Cas. Though strictly speaking it wasn't really a choice. He loved Cas more than anything in the world and if being with him meant that he could never have a child then so be it. It was something he was willing to give up for the man he loved. (You never know, you may not have to honey.) He would just make sure that he was in the lives of his nieces and nephews instead. Hell he could teach them so much to use to prank there father it would be even more fun than them being his. (Dean, behave. The kid isn't even born yet.)
And so with a big smile on his face he entered his lovers store to see him frowning down at something on the shelf. Cas didn't even turn when the door rang. So Dean smirking at Charlie and raising his finger to his lips to get her to stay silent snuck up behind Cas, grabbing him round the waist and whispering in his ear.
"Hey there sexy. Tell me, did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Cos your an angel." (Oh, very original Dean.)
Castiel tensed when he felt someone grab him from behind until he heard the voice he loved whispering in his ear.
"Hello Dean." he said turning in the other man's arms to place a gentle kiss on his lips. He was surprised to see him there now, it wasn't closing time after all.
"So I was thinking I could persuade you to goof of work early today?" Dean asked smiling at Cas and doing his best impression of the puppy dogs eyes that Cas did so well.
"And may I ask why?" Castiel asked with the raise of an eyebrow at Dean, he could think of many reasons to leave work early. (Yes I bet you can but I'm afraid you might just have to put them on hold for a time honey.)
"Well I've got to collect something from Gabe's and then I thought we could go over to Sam and Jess'." Dean replied with a big smile on his face that Castiel couldn't help but return. The plan wasn't the one he had in mind but he was happy enough to comply with it. Maybe it would help him work though some of his thoughts. (Lets hope so.)
"Very well Dean. Let me just get my coat." He finally said pulling himself out of Deans arms and getting immense pleasure from the involuntary whimper Dean let out as he pulled away. What could he say? He was only human. (oh so true babe.)
At 4 o'clock on the dot Gabriel had packaged up the soup and the ginger biscuit he had made for Jess and now he was just waiting for Dean-o to arrive to pick them up. And then he was out of there. Kevin could lock up and sort everything out. The kid was clever enough. But Gabriel wanted to have time to go get ready for his date with Kali that evening. Even thinking about it made the big goofy smile appear on his face. Of course it was at that precise moment that Dean and Cas entered the bakery and saw him. (Of course it was.)
When Dean saw the smile on Gabriel's face his eyebrows rose. Obviously something had happened between this morning and now, and Dean guessed it that it involved Kali and that it was good.
Castiel on the other hand was just confused by his brothers look having no idea of what was going on in his romantic life. Mainly because Castiel kept forgetting to ask him. (You know you really should do that at some point Castiel.)
"Dean-o and Cassie. My favourite couple." Gabriel exclaimed when he saw them spreading his arms out wide as if he hadn't seen them in years rather than hours.
"Hey Gabe. I guess you called her then?" Dean replied smirking at the older man.
"Nope, she came to me." Gabriel replied smirking right back and neglecting to mention that the reason she had come round was to yell at him, and then probably kill him if he hadn't calmed her down.
"Yeah okay. So you got what I wanted?" Dean asked, he wasn't really interested in what happened between Gabe and Kali, whatever it was had put Cas' brother in a good mood so he would take that.
"Yep. Chicken soup and ginger biscuits. And Cassie for the love of god don't let him eat them. There for Jess to help her stomach." Gabriel instructed to his brother hoping that Castiel would be able to keep Dean in check.
"Hey I'm right here you know. And I wouldn't eat anything that's to help Jess." Dean replied with fake affront in his voice. (Really?)
Castiel just smiled at him before turning to his brother and taking the box of biscuits.
"Don't worry Gabriel I will keep him away from them." He said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Great, is that what you think of me? That I would eat Jess' biscuits?" Dean asked trying for hurt this time but failing miserably as Cas turned to look him in the eyes and smiled.
"Of course not Dean, but I do think you would sample them just to make sure they were alright." Castiel replied calmly leading the way to the door giving his brother a wave goodbye.
"Nothing wrong with that. In fact..." and with that Castiel and Dean left the bakery still bickering about Dean trying the biscuits. Gabriel just shook his head at the pair before yelling to Kevin he was leaving and making his way to his apartment. Time to get ready for tonight.
