205. Surprise
Once Robbie had let Cas pick him up, the nurse led them into the room she'd just left. Zoey was skipping merrily and Dean tried to fight back a grin, knowing that he was going to turn into a total chick in the delivery room and not wanting to start early. The first thing Dean noticed in the room was Rose, whose blonde hair was messy and sweaty and who was and two small, blue bundles in her arms. Standing next to her was Sam, who was holding a pink bundle. No way! Dean began to laugh.
"Triplets?" he said. "You triple-knocked-up Rosie? Oh, Sammy! You sly dog, you!"
"Didn't know you had it in ya!" Charlie said with a wink. Sam gave Dean and Charlie a bitchface (a word that Zoey had repeated once, resulting in a very stern talking-to) and smiled at Zoey and Robbie.
"Want to hold one of your cousins?" he said. Zoey gasped and nodded as hard as she could and Dean let go of her hand so that Sam could crouch down in front of her. He showed her how to hold out her hands and then gently put the pink bundle in her arms, moving her hands to where they had to go. Dean tried even harder not to grin.
"Her name's Mary," Sam said. Dean blinked and swallowed. "Mary Helena Winchester. We named her after Mom, and Rose's grandmother."
Dean blinked again rapidly, trying to force the tears back into his stinging eyes. He was a man! He didn't cry! Zoey looked up at him and gasped.
"Don't cry, Dad!" she said. "Do you wanna hold Mary? Will that make you feel better?"
Dean knelt down next to Zoey, staring at Mary and still feeling like he was going to cry.
"I'm not gonna cry, princess," he said in a slightly choked voice. "I'm not sad. I'm happy."
He reached out and very carefully touched Mary's face. He couldn't remember the last time he'd touched a newborn and, to his masculine shame, he felt as though he would break the baby if he touched her too hard. The baby made a small noise and Zoey giggled.
"Hey, Mary," Dean said quietly. "You're gonna be a handful, living with Rosie and a group of boys. But hey, at least you won't take any crap, you tough little cookie."
"Language," Cas said, though he didn't sound as stern as usual.
"I'm living with only boys!" Zoey said. "I won't take any crap! Mary and I can be tough together!"
"Only if you don't say that word again," Dean said sternly, glad that he still had enough willpower to discipline. He just couldn't believe it. These three babies…they were Sam's. They were little pieces of his brother! Now he had three more Sammys to protect with his life!
"Why don't you let Dean have a hold?" Sam suggested to Zoey. She nodded and let Dean take Mary. Dean straightened up, cradling Mary as though she was the most precious and important thing in the world, and he turned so that Cas and Robbie could see. Robbie's eyes were wide.
"You made that?" he said. Dean and Charlie couldn't help but burst into hysterical laughter.
"Yes, we made that," Sam chuckled. Finally managing to control his laughter, Dean handed Mary to Charlie and slung an arm around Cas' shoulders, pressing a kiss to his angel's cheek. Cas carefully put Robbie down and leaned into Dean's embrace.
"This one's Lewis John Winchester, after both of our fathers," Rose said, smiling down at the baby in her arms. She nodded at the baby that Sam was now holding. "And as for that little brat…well, he came out last when we had no more names left, so Sammy and I decided to just pick a name each."
"I thought of Bobby," Sam said. "But you guys have Robbie, so we figured that was close enough. Rosie picked Henry because both of our grandfathers had that name."
"Ours was kind of a dick, leaving Dad the way he did," Dean said. "But he did prove himself in the end and he didn't ditch him on purpose, so I s'pose all's settled."
"Are you really surprised that Zoey keeps saying bad words?" Cas muttered. Dean smirked at him.
"So I got to choose the middle name," Sam continued. "And Rosie agrees a hundred per cent with me."
He paused.
"Well, don't keep us hanging," Dean said. Sam rolled his eyes.
"I named him after the most important person in my life, apart from Rosie," he said.
"You'd better not have added that last bit as an afterthought," Rose threatened. Sam reached out to stroke her arm placatingly.
"His name is Henry Dean Winchester," he said. Dean froze. What. The. Hell.
"W-What?" he croaked. "But – you – me –"
Sam smiled at him.
"You're my brother," he said. "And you've been there for me practically my whole life. I figured you deserved it. And if Henry grows up to be half as awesome as you then I'll be proud. We didn't make Dean his first name 'cause we didn't want any confusion. I get the feeling we'll be yelling at him as much as we yell at you. If he'd been a girl, we would've gone with Deanna as her first name."
Dean was rooted to the spot. He leaned into Cas' touch when his angel softly kissed him and let Cas nuzzle into his neck while Sam and Rose acted like chicks over their babies again and Charlie tried to attract Zoey and Robbie's attention for long enough to get them out of there and give Sam and Rose peace.
"You deserve it, Dean," Cas said firmly. "It's time that all of the good you've done is finally acknowledged."
Dean, his eyes glued on little Henry, just smiled.
