The Wrong One (Destiel)

Chapter 10

DEANS POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun is coming in through the hospital window shining right in my damn eyes. I roll over with a groan and glance at a clock 11:29 blinks back at me but I close my eyes, sleep is calling for me. I'm letting memories float through my mind as I drift into unconsciousness. I'm almost out when I suddenly remember that I get out today!

I bolt straight up and see my mom sitting in a chair across the room, a big smile on her face "are you ready to go home now?" I jump out of bed and look at my arms, no tubes sticking out of anywhere! I run to the mirror and look at my face, I've only got a few bandages covering some minor cuts!

I turn to my mom and she holds out a pile of clothes to me and I happily take them then dash to the bathroom to get changed. Today I'm going to pick up Castiel and we're going to do something, maybe I'll take him to a movie or out to a real fancy restaurant!

I quickly dress and my mom and I head out to the lobby to fill out a few release forms so we can be on our way. As we walk through the big double doors I can't help but notice all the people just waiting in the lobby. I scan the group then my eyes fall on two familiar faces, Cas is shaking under a blanket and has a steaming cup of coffee in his hands which is probably supposed to help him with the blue quivering lip he has. Gabriel is siting right next to him with his arm protectively around his big brother.

"Cas? Baby?" He slowly looks up at me and hands his coffee to Gabriel.

"Dean!" Cas throws himself at me "Dean they're dead I don't know what to do! I-I know I need to take care of her but I'm not even half the man he was! I won't be able to give her everything she deserves I I I can't even take care of myself just look at me I'm a freaking mess they won't let me keep her Dean! They'll probably take her away and throw her in some stupid foster home! I'll never get-"
"Woah woah woah! Cas sit down, take a deep breath, and explain" we both sit down in chairs and he starts over from the beginning.

He tells me about Anna and Jimmy, how he broke down and ran away spending most of the night and morning in a ditch in the middle of winter.
"Oh and Dean Claire is going to be just fine but-" I see a single tear slide down his cheek "but child protective services might take her away from us" Cas breaks down and cries into my chest.

I hold him tight just thinking of what Cas has been through and what else he's going to have to go through "Cas I will do whatever I can to help support you, Gabriel, and especially Claire. You're my family now, we've gotta look out for eachother." I smile down at him and he looks at me with his big blue eyes.
"Thank you Dean it means a lot" he wraps his arms around me and squeezes me tight, I kiss his head and rub his back hoping that whatever I do will be enough for him.

I feel like I could stay in this moment forever and I probably could have if my mother didn't interrupt "Dean sign here, here, and here then you're free to go"

I let go of Cas and sign the papers. I'm about to get up and leave but I glance over at Cas and sit back down "Mom I think I might just stay here for a little longer you know to keep them company if that's okay with you" she looks down at Cas with sympathy then nods at me
"Alright take as long as you like just take it easy no rough housing" she turns to Cas and hugs him then turns to Gabriel and does the same "I am deeply sorry for your loss but if our family can do anything to help we will be there for you" they smile and say thank you as she hugs them one final time and walks out.

I wrap my arm around Cas who is feeling much warmer and has finally stop shaking "Do you guys know when Claire is getting out or when you can go back to see her?" I speak slowly hoping not to say anything that might upset them and Gabriel answers me
"We can go back to her room now that Castiel is warmed up" we get out of our seats but I keep my arm tightly wrapped around Cas as Gabriel leads us to Claire's room.
