203. Panic
"Dean!" Sam burst out, not even giving Dean a chance to say hello after answering. "It's Rosie! The – the baby – it's coming –"
"Calm down, man!" Dean said. He tried not to let on just how excited he was at that news, since it would only send Sam deeper off the edge. "You killed monsters for a living and now you can't even keep it together when your wife's pushing out a little brat."
"Gee, maybe because I've never had to deal with childbirth before!" Sam said in a slightly strangled voice. "What do I do?"
"Didn't you and Rose have some sort of plan or something?"
"What? Yeah but –"
"Then go follow it. We'll be there as quick as we can."
He hung up.
"Get your asses in here, everyone!" he bellowed. A moment later, he heard the sound of three sets of footsteps.
"Dean," Cas reprimanded when they arrived in the main room. "No swearing in front of the children."
Dean waved it off.
"What's going on, Dad?" Zoey said. A month ago, she and Robbie had started calling him 'Dad' and Cas 'Papa' and though it made Dean feel warm and fuzzy inside, he'd tried to discourage it for fear of replacing their actual dad, which he didn't want to do in a million years. But Zoey and Robbie hadn't been dissuaded, so Dean had gradually grown used to it. He knew that it still brought a wide smile to his angel's face to be called 'Papa'.
"Aunt Rosie's having her baby," he said. Zoey's face immediately lit up and she squealed and latched on to Cas' leg.
"The baby! The baby's coming!" she shrieked. "Can we go see it? Can we, can we, can we?"
Dean couldn't help but grin. Rose had been four months pregnant when he and Cas had finally managed to gain custody of Zoey and Robbie (with the help of some forged paperwork that listed Cas as Jimmy's long-lost twin brother and Dean's name being mysteriously wiped from all databases, along with Sam's. Cas only said that he had called in a favour that Hannah had owed him from helping regain control over Heaven after Metatron's devastation) and Zoey had been way too excited about the whole thing ever since.
"Well, we can't go see it if you don't let go of Cas," Dean said. Zoey let Cas go straight away. "It's the middle of December, so go put your warm clothes on or you'll freeze your asses off."
"Dean!" Cas said sternly.
"Dad said a bad word," Robbie giggled.
"Yes." Cas ran a hand through Robbie's hair. "And if you repeat it, you'll be in trouble. But he's right. Go and get your winter clothes on."
Zoey and Robbie raced down the hall to their room. After a few months, Dean and Cas had tried to separate them and give them their own rooms but Zoey refused to leave her little brother and Robbie was adamant that his big sister had to stay with him or he'd have nightmares. Dean couldn't help but think of himself and Sam, so he'd decided to let it go until they were older.
"That means you too, angel," Dean smirked. "Go get that trench coat I love so much on. Don't wanna set a bad example for the kids, do ya?"
Cas smiled innocently but Dean could sense the bitchface underneath.
"Of course, Dean," he said. "Why don't you come and put your jacket on as well? You wouldn't want to set a double standard for Zoey and Robbie."
Smiling sweetly, Dean followed Cas to their room, vowing to get back at his angel when Rose wasn't in the process of forcing a watermelon out of a lemon-sized hole.
