Shia stared down at the sleeping, four month old baby. Lynx was so big now and it was hard for Shia to grasp the fact that her baby is growing up, her first tooth came in the other day, and she's starting to but just about everything in her mouth. Lynx was starting to sit up by herself and becoming more independent.

Dean walked in the nursery that Kat and Michael set up for his daughter to find Shia watching the baby sleep, he knew that they would have to leave soon to work on another case and he hated the idea because he almost missed her first Thanksgiving, and now he will most definitely miss her first Christmas and it made his heart drop inside.

"Baby?" Dean greeted Shia as he walked up behind her to lay his hand on her lower back as they both watched their daughter sleep. Dean will never stop looking at his daughter in awe, her physical appearance made it clear that she was Dean's daughter. She had lightly tan skin, her hair was sandy blonde, and when her eyes were open they were undeniably hazel. Shia would call her "mini Dean" since she looked just like her daddy.

"I don't like leaving around Christmas, Dean. It's her first Christmas and we won't be here. Some parents we are." Shia said with a scoff, as a tear slowly escaped from one of her brown eyes. Dean looked at his wife and reached over to wipe her tear and kissed her forehead.

"I know. I hate it just as much as you do. I almost missed her first Thanksgiving. How do you think it makes me feel knowing that I will for sure miss my little girl's first Christmas. It's not right but we gotta do what we have to, just to make sure this world is a bit safer for her as she gets older."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Well, I know you're right." Shia said as she laid her head against Dean's shoulder. "She's getting so big."

"I know. She weighs 12 pounds and 2 ounces. It's all that breast milk she drinks, and they small bits of baby food." Dean said proudly as he continued to watch the sleeping baby. Just then, Kate, wife of Michael walked in with a to go basket full of food for the road.

"Shia? Dean? Uh, Sam said you all should be going now. I don't mean to interrupt your moment." Kate said softly. Shia turned to look at her and smiled, she thought that Kate was very pretty. She had straight blond hair and pale skin, her eyes were gorgeous and her presence in general was just peaceful. Michael was for sure a lucky man.

"No, it's okay, Kate." Shia said as she walked over to her, Dean politely took the basket from Kate and smiled, he then gave Shia a quick kiss and told her he'll be outside waiting, but before he did any of that he made sure to give Lynx a kiss on her forehead. "Just....please, take care of her. That baby is my world."

"I know, Shia. We will protect her and love her as if she was our own. You all have a safe hunt and be back in time for the annual after Christmas dinner meal Michael and I plan every year, but we actually have people to invite over this time. You, and the guys, Ellen and her daughter, Julius and his new girlfriend, and Bobby of course."

"Jules have a new girlfriend?" Shia asked with an eyebrow raised. Kate smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, a girl named 'Natasha' but she prefers to be called 'Tasha.'" Kate informed the curious demi god. Shia shook her head but hugging Kate and walking back over to place a gently kiss on Lynx's forehead. And then, it was time to go.
