Strength (A Destiel Fanfic)

Chapter 8: In God's Hands Part 2

Sam, Dean, and Cas had a spent a few days in this town not sure of how to go about contacting the goddess that provided for the people here but to no avail. It was early in the morning and Dean wasn't asleep of course but he stood in the mirror of the bathroom checking if he had grown due to the pregnancy. "Hey Cas!" He whispered because Sam was still asleep.
"Yes Dean?" Asked Castiel as he walked over.
"Do I look bigger to you?" Asked Dean as Castiel just gave him a confused look and Dean sighed. "Cas do you think the baby is growing?" Clarified Dean as Castiel nodded.
"Oh." He stated then placed his hands around Dean's hips and then brought them together slowly over his abdomen. "It's a little bigger." Said Castiel as Dean looked at him.
"How can you tell?" Asked Dean softly as Castiel took Dean's hand.
"Well I know you're exact measurements so it's just a matter of taking that then comparing those to what I see here." Said Castiel as he slow moved Dean's hand down his abdomen. Dean smiled at Castiel almost like he was gonna laugh.
"You're hands are warm." Said Dean quietly with a bit of a laugh as Castiel smiled. Castiel looked into Dean's eyes and placed small gentle kiss upon his lips. "Cas if I can be honest, I'm excited about this baby." Said Dean as he held his abdomen.
"I know Dean so am I." Said Castiel as a smile.

Later that same day Dean went out to get something to eat and found a pie shop. He walked in smelled the air and smiled. "Jack when I die for good make my heaven smell like this place please." Begged Dean in a whisper with a stupid grin on his face.
"Hello Sir can I help you?" Asked the man behind the counter with a perky grin.
"I sure hope so." Said Dean with a grin. "So I'm how much for a whole pie?" Asked Dean as he looked at all of them.
"Well for Dean Winchester it's all free." Said the man as Dean paused and looked at him.
"What did you just call me?" Asked Dean as the just man smiled at him.
"Dean, that's your name right?" Asked the man as Dean nodded.
"Yeah but how do you know that?" Asked Dean as the laughed.
"The Goddess told us of course!" Said the man with a smile as Dean lost his. "Pick a pie." Said the man as Dean laughed.
"I'd rather not this place is starting to freak me out." Said Dean as he started trying to leave.
"Oh please don't leave!" Begged the man as he came out from behind the counter. "I didn't mean to upset you." He said as Dean paused and quickly turned.
"Ok pal you're gonna tell me everything your Goddess said about me!" Barked Dean as the man shuffled for a second.
"I don't think the Goddess would like that." He muttered as Dean stepped close to him, very close to him.
"You're gonna tell me or I'm gonna make you pop like a water balloon." Stated Dean very sternly and the man gained a nervous smile.
"Have a seat." Said the man. So they sat down and the man started to explain. "She told us that we were to give you anything you wanted, you're very important to her." Said the man as Dean sighed.
"Why?" Asked Dean as the man shrugged.
"I don't know, I swear I'd tell you if I did but I just don't. She doesn't tell us everything." Said the man.
"How does she tell you stuff?" Asked Dean.
"Every night she holds a gathering out in the woods she tells us when we're in danger and when we're safe." Stated the man.
"What does she tell you to do when your in danger?" Asked Dean.
"She gives us vials of her blood and tells to paint them over every entrance to a home or business to protect us at all costs." Said the man.
"What does she protect you from?" Asked Dean.
"Angels." Said the man as he paused and realized what he said. "Well not Castiel she says he's different, on our side." Said the man as Dean looked at him.
"You know about Cas?" Asked Dean as the man nodded.
"Yes we know about you, your brother, and Castiel. You saved the world from the apocalypse, our town is eternally grateful." Said the man but suddenly he looked up and bowed his head.
"If you wanted to know so bad, you could've just asked." Said a woman's voice it heavily seductive sounding. Dean turned around seeing a beautiful woman standing behind, she had long wavy black hair and fair snow white skin. Her lips were painted pure black and she wore a black dress shirt and black tight fitting slacks, but her eyes burned a crimson red with black slit pupils.
"Are the Goddess I've been hearing so much about?" Asked Dean she nodded.
"That I am." She stated.
"I've been told you could help me." Said Dean as she nodded.
"Not me but someone I know." She stated as she turned away from him.
"Well then tell them to get off their ass and start helping already." Said Dean with a smug attitude as she laughed.
"I don't think you realize how this works." She stated as Dean dropped the smug tone.
"What do you mean?" Asked Dean finally taking things seriously.
"He comes to us we do not come to him." She stated as Dean didn't even acknowledge the 'we' part of the statement not yet.
"Well make an exception!" Barked Dean flaring his demonic eyes on purpose this time.
"I can't." She stated as she didn't even turn to look at him.
"Can't or won't?" He asked as she laughed.
"Won't!" She said laughing.
"What?!" He barked as she finally turned laughing at him.
"Dean Winchester, you come from two long long lines of those who did not care about my kind! Why would I do anything to help you just because you've come over to our side to reap our benefits." She stated in a cruel tone as she stared at Dean.
"You're gonna hold me responsible for the acts of my ancestors?" Asked Dean as she smiled revealing sharp pearly white canines like a movie vampire.
"Not just your ancestors Dean. You have slaughtered countless creatures of the night and for what saving arrogant helpless creatures who aren't even grateful for how much you and your brother protect them!" She barked as she stepped closer. "You must really get off on being treated like you don't exist." She stated being mere inches away from him.
"So how do I get into your good graces?" Asked Dean as she sighed.
"Well now you're asking the right questions." Stated the woman as she walked past Dean running her finger along the counter. "Well I would like you to stay here for as long as it takes for you to gain control of your powers and in that time I want you to actually get to know these people." Said the woman as Dean looked at the man sitting across from him.
"Ok get to know ordinary people why is that so important to you?" Asked Dean as the man revealed he was a vamp. Dean jumped back but looked at the woman.
"This is a town full of monsters?" Asked Dean as the woman sighed.
"These monsters as you call them have businesses, families, homes! They are no different from the people you try so tirelessly to save! They cause no harm to anyone so are they still monsters?" Asked the woman as Dean looked back at the man who had put away his fangs.
"Have you ever drank human blood?" Asked Dean as the man nodded.
"But never from a live person, see our town also has few humans and they donate blood to feed the vampires of this town." Said the man with a straight look as Dean sighed.
"Dean this town lives in harmony with each other, you wouldn't want to ruin that right?" Asked the woman as Dean shook his head.
"Fine I'll play alone." Stated Dean as he looked at her. "So who is supposed to be my demon Mr. Miagi?" Asked Dean as he stood.
"My father, the demon Baphomet." Stated the woman as she walked towards the door and Dean followed.
"How is the demon Baphomet supposed to teach me anything?" Asked Dean as the woman walked down the street.
"Well he's much like you, a man made demon. He was once human but he hasn't been for some time." Stated the woman as Dean walked alongside her.
"I thought all demons used to be human?" Asked Dean as she sighed.
"Most demons were human then they died and became demons but my father never died and neither did you." Said the woman as she stopped and looked at Dean. "My father will return home tomorrow morning so at 4 AM sharp I would like to meet you there." Stated the woman as she pointed at the large gate at the end of the street. The gate concealed a large driveway that led into a dense wooded area.
"Alright." Said Dean with a sigh as he looked at her.
"Wait what's your name? Asked Dean as she smiled.
"My name is Isadora." She said with a smile revealing her sharp canines much like a movie vampire.

Dean went back to the pie shop and selected an apple pie. "Would you like to sample before you buy?" Asked the vamp behind the counter as Dean smiled.
"Yeah sure." Said Dean as the man handed him a slice of apple pie. Dean sat down at the counter and took a bite of the pie. It tasted absolutely delicious to Dean everything about the pie was perfect. "My god! For a vamp you make a great pie and I've had a lot of pie in my days." Said Dean as he continued eating the pie.
"Thank you, Dean." Said the vamp as he boxed up the whole pie.

Dean went back to the motel happy as a clam and set the pie down on the table. "Hey guys apparently this town is full of monsters." Said Dean very casually as he began to eat his pie.
"What? Should we get started on hunting?" Asked Sam as Dean set down his fork.
"No, I met with the Goddess they keep talking about and she wants me to stay in this town for as long as it takes to gain control of my powers and get to know these monsters like they're just normal people. They're actually really harmless, the guy at the pie shop was actually a vamp believe it or not." Said Dean as Sam sighed.
"Well I'm all for harmless monsters but are you sure we can trust this Goddess?" Asked Sam as Dean sighed.
"That I don't know, she doesn't seem to like hunters especially me since I'm kinda on their side now but she seems to be kind enough and cares a lot about the people of this town so as long as we leave them alone they leave us alone." Said Dean as he continued eating his pie.

That night Dean couldn't really relax and Castiel was always awake so the two of them decided to take a walk. As they walked Dean and Castiel held hands. They walked through the darkened night then eventually sat down on a bench in the park. "This is nice." Said Dean as he leaned against the bench still holding Castiel's hand.
"It really is, Dean." Said Castiel as he interlocked their fingers.
"Cas, I don't say it often but I love you." Said Dean as he looked at the angel.
"I love you too Dean." Said Castiel as they kissed softly.
