All You Did was Save my Life

Sounds Good To Me

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Cas didn't stir, not even when Dean picked up the angel's hand and held it tightly in his own.

"I'm so sorry Cas."

He, Bobby, and Ellen had returned to Singer Salvage only a few minutes ago. Dean had managed to find Sam, unable to sleep and hallucinating Lucifer, but had let shortly after when Bobby and Ellen showed up with news.

The newlywed couple had spent majority of the drive without cell service and both had had some panicked messages from Jo about how there was something wrong with Cas and the baby. When they'd arrived at the hospital and told Dean, the younger hunter felt like he'd been stabbed through with an angel blade.

After the way he'd treated Cas... and now there was something wrong. They'd raced back to Singer Salvage, promising Sam they'd get him out of the hospital soon. And now here they were.

Bobby and Ellen were downstairs with the others, while Dean sat next to his unconscious angel with his baby girl sleeping in his arms.

Dean looked down at the sleeping baby.

"I'm sorry," he whispered again, "I'm sorry I wasn't here when you were born. I'm sorry for how I treated your other daddy. I'm sorry you don't have a name yet."

Dean chuckled humorlessly. He and Cas hadn't talked about names at all. Hell, they'd hardly talked at all period. And it was his fault.

"Things are going to get better now," he promised the newborn. "Once your daddy wakes up we'll give you a name. We'll be a proper family. You, me, daddy, your brothers. You've got two grandparents downstairs, some aunts and uncles, a couple cousins. You're gonna be okay. Things are messed up right now, your Uncle Sam's hallucinating Satan and we're being hunted by angels and demons, but that's okay because once your daddy wakes up we'll be a family again. We can figure all this out together. maybe then we can finally stop. We can stop running, we can get our own place and get out of Bobby and Ellen's hair. We can have a normal, simple, apple pie life, how's that sound? It sounds pretty good to me."

He fell asleep there, holding his daughter in one arm while his other rested on the bed next to the unconscious angel. Only... he wasn't unconscious anymore.

Cas stared up at the ceiling of the room in Bobby's house. He turned and looked at the hunter and his eyes flicked down to the baby. His baby. Their baby.

"I'm sorry," Cas whispered and with a flutter of wings, he was gone.

Whaaaat? Two chapters in two days? Yup, owenharpersgirl has officially been replaced by her more time efficient and organized twin.

I know Dean was a little OOC in this chapter, but I'm pretty happy with out it turned out regardless.

And yes, the baby is a girl! She does have a name, I've had it picked since way before I even started writing the story, but it won't be revealed until the next chapter which I have already started and should hopefully be up soon!

Thanks so much for reading and let me know what you think!
