Fathered By A Vampire- Part 1: The Vampire Child Series

Chapter 39- Feeling Human

WARNINGS: Hallucinations, Paranoia, and Night Terrors

Castiel was going to check on Kelly (the mother he was linked with) when he heard giggling nearby. He turned his head and saw a child staring at him. What caught his attention was the open cut along her neck which was still sprouting blood. He stared at her as a look of intense guilt crossed his face.

He knew they weren't real. The trial had already ended. So why were the children still bothering him? Castiel flinched hard when he felt a hand touch his back. He turned around to see Kelly with an apologetic look on her face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you," Kelly apologized.

"You're fine," Castiel reassured while putting on a smile, "How are you feeling today?"

"Better than yesterday. I think he feels safe here. Believe it or not, he's starting to respond to your voice," Kelly smiled, placing a hand on her stomach.

"Respond? He's talking," Castiel asked, tilting his head curiously.

"No, Castiel. He's kicking. May I," Kelly asked, extending her hand to him.

Castiel grabbed hers, allowing her to guide his palm to her stomach.

"Call out to him," Kelly said.

"He doesn't have a name," Castiel said.

"He does. His name is Jack," Kelly said.

Castiel glanced at her stomach.

"Jack... Jack Kline," Castiel said softly, "Hello there."

Castiel felt a shift in her stomach. He quickly retracted his hand.

"Feels odd, doesn't it? Don't worry. He's safe, just feeling a bit active," Kelly reassured, chuckling at his reaction.

"I get the feeling that he's going to be a cheerful child," Castiel said, "He's lucky to have you as his mother, Kelly."

"There's only so much I can do for him so I... I just really hope that I'm enough while I'm here," Kelly said softly.

"Believe me, you are more than enough. After all, you're still here. You're still fighting for him. If that isn't love then what is," Castiel reasoned.

Castiel's eyes drifted to the side as he thought about his own father. He wasn't here. He gave up fighting. Maybe that meant he... Castiel's attention quickly shifted as sounds of yelling were heard.

"Pardon me," Castiel said, going to see what the ruckus was about.

Klaus was seen yelling at his linked mother (Hayley Marshall) who just so happened to be a werewolf. Dean walked in with Lucien behind him.

"Klaus," Dean called out, trying to get his attention.

Klaus kept yelling at Hayley about something to do with her daughter. Hayley insulted Klaus about his anger issues being a safety hazard for her daughter. Klaus's eyes darkened and he vamped over to slam her against the wall. Dean grabbed his shoulder before he could touch her though and threw him back.

"What the hell is wrong with you!? That woman is FUCKING PREGNANT, KLAUS," Dean shouted, placing himself in-between the two.

Klaus shook with anger and stood up, his eyes locked on Hayley. Dean blocked his gaze by leaning to the side. Klaus let out an angry huff.

"Take a breather. Both of you," Dean ordered.

"What?!"

"You heard me, lady! Go," Dean snapped, turning to Hayley.
