After everyone besides Castiel and Ravenna had returned to their homes, it was time for her to go. He drove as she discussed baby names.
"If it's a boy, I want to name him Cielo Wayne. After my big brother and dad."
"That's a nice name."
"What if it's a girl though?"
"We have a lot of time to think about that. But, for now, we're here."
She looked up to see that they were at her parent's house.
"Wrong place…"
"Nope. We are going to tell your parents what is going on."
Rave was about to protest, but he was already getting out and opening her door. She let him help her out reluctantly. Link was waiting outside for them with a grin. He began speaking as they approached.
"Long time no see, Cielo told me what happened. But don't worry, I didn't tell dad."
"Thank you. When are you continuing your tour?"
"I'm taking a year off, actually. Don't worry, that baby will get to meet her uncle."
"Her?"
"I'm hoping for a niece. That would be awesome."
The couple laughed and continued on into the house. They said hello to Molly, requesting that she follow them to the living room where Wayne resided. Her parents sat on the couch while they sat on the loveseat across from them. Castiel sat up straight, trying to figure out the right words, while Ravenna played with her ring nervously. It was motion that did not go unnoticed by the ex-mercenary.
"I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that you two are engaged now?"
"How did you-"
"The ring is very nice."
They all stared at the ring, then turned to gawk at the silver-speckled man. He chuckled softly, patting Cass on the head roughly. The women relaxed visibly.
"I'm just wondering what brought this on."
The teens froze instantly. Silence fell over the room and her parents waited expectantly. Castiel's eyes darted to her stomach, then back up. Wayne's expression darkened.
"I see. Well, can't kill you now. That would break my baby's heart and leave the child fatherless. Can't have that happening. But I will say this; watch yourself and how you treat them. I have friends that can deport you to Austria with the push of button."
"But, sir, I'm not from Austria."
"Exactly."
A chill ran up his spine at the man's icy expression. Ravenna's mother was the opposite of her husband, though. After he had finished speaking, she immediately started babbling about wedding arrangements and how she was going to spoil her grandbaby so much. The mood seemed to lighten a bit as she spoke. It was apparent why she and Wayne went together so well. Molly dragged them to the kitchen for dessert while she made arrangements for Ravenna's first check up.
By the time she was finished, night had fallen and her daughter was sleeping. Cass carried her to the car and drove to his house. Unexpectedly, his own parents were there. It was very awkward with many promises to explain in the morning. They let him go since he was still carrying his still sleeping fiancé. Laying her down in his bed, he sent Cielo a text and removed his shirt. Rave cuddled against his chest unconsciously with a content sigh. He stroked her hair in response, thinking about the events and what he should name his daughter.
Castiel awakened the next morning to a pair of mismatched eyes staring up at him adoringly. Ravenna was cloaked in his favorite shirt and gym shorts. She looked so child-like when she wore his clothing. A smile played over her features. He placed a gentle kiss upon it.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Uh-huh. Thank you for bringing me to bed."
"No problem at all. How do you feel?"
"A bit nauseous, but okay. Do you want me to make breakfast?"
"Save your energy, I can do it."
Snorting softly, she got up and skipped out. That's when he suddenly remembered his parents were home. Cass managed to catch her before she reached the kitchen.
"Babe, my parents came back last night. May I introduce you before you go in?'
The brunette nodded and he pecked her on the lips sweetly. She kissed him back, then pushed him into the dining room. His parents were at the table.
"Hello Mom, Dad."
"Good morning Castiel. Now that it is day, would you please explain just who that girl you were carrying is?"
"That is my girlfriend, Ravenna. Well, my fiancé now."
"Fiancé? You are much too young to be engaged," his mother gasped.
"Possibly, but I love her and she's the mother of my child."
"Engaged and have a baby on the way? You are just out of high school. You should wait for a few years before you do something drastic like that."
"I refuse to abandon them."
"Well, there is a clinic not too far and we have enough saved up…" his father suggested.
"No," Cass snapped, "I will not put her through that. I will not make her kill our child."
"It isn't a child yet. Also, adoption is also possible."
He nearly roared in anger, his entire frame quivering. A calm, cool voice and delicate hands stopped him from freaking out completely.
"I suggest you both shut up and let us speak before you try to make any decisions about my baby."
"Are you the little whore that is trying to ruin my son's life?"
"What is with everyone and thinking we are ruining each other's lives?! We're abso-freakin'-lutely happy with our decision. Anyway, I am Ravenna Quinn. Maybe you've heard of my brothers, Zachariah and Daniel?"
Both adults paled greatly at the mention of the twins. Together, they basically owned every building and business in town. Including the airline they worked for. Anything they wanted, they took without remorse. That meant their jobs as pilot and attendant. All of her brothers were powerful in some way, due to her father's connections. She was the only one who hadn't decided what she wanted to do yet.
"I-I am so sorry…"
"Now you are, you pigs. Your money being on the line makes you really sorry. Come on sweetie, let's go home. Cielo and Link want to look for nursery stuff."
"Okay, honey. Mom, Dad?"
Their heads perked up a bit.
"I will do everything in my power to make sure you never see this burden, as you call it. Because, to me, these two are the first real family I have."
Chuckling, he left with his gorgeous bride-to-be.
So sorry. Mostly talking and filler, but they had to confess somehow! A bit of writers block, but it will clear up. Review who you like most and/or which couple you'd like a special chapter of. Thank you!
