Raising a Kid in a Hunter's World

I Can't Raise a Kid

"It was only a Salt n Burn Y/N!"

"Well, I'm sorry Dean, but the details you had weren't accurate! The body wasn't buried in the cemetery like you had said they were! I now need to rip this damn farm field apart for it! I'll have it done tonight and will head back"

"Well how long is that gonna take!"

"It's gonna take as long as it takes Dean! I'm doing this by myself, I'm not some frigin' superhero with x-ray vision! I'll be home tomorrow night the latest"

"Ugh, we can't wait that long there's another hunt few states over and we can't take the kid!"

"Can't you ask Cas to watch her till I get back or something? Anyone? Just not Crowley!"

"Ugh, I'll figure something out. Just don't chew my head off if Crowley is the only one left!"

"Just make sure Crowley is the last option then! There's gotta be someone who isn't him or his mother! I gotta go, see you in a few days and good luck on the hunt!"

Dean sighed heavily as he hung up the phone, just as Sam walked into the library with Ashley. Ashley was Y/N's niece and the only blood family she had left.

"How's she doing with the Salt n Burn?" Sam asked Dean

"Oh, she's farming for it cuz it ain't in the cemetery. She reckons she won't be back till tomorrow night, the latest. So we need to find a babysitter. And it can't be Crowley."

"Oh, well what about Cas?"

"He's got stuff going on in heaven" The brothers stood in an awkward silence, thinking of another option. But it was soon broken as Ashley started to cry.

"Oh, come on!" Dean hissed "You were fed like 5 minutes ago kid!" Ashley's cries started to grow louder, by the minute. Sam tried to calm her down by rocking her back and forth, but she was not settling.

"What on earth is tha- oh please tell me you Winchesters aren't reproducing!?" Lucifer asked as he walked into the library.

"Oh yeah, just walk on in Lucifer, door is always open! What do you want?!" Dean was starting to lose his patience and temper.

"I just came by to see how Y/N was doing... the kid...is-"

"No it's her niece...Lucifer...you couldn't watch Ashley here till me and Dean-"Dean cut Sam off before he could continue.

"WOW, Hell no Sammy! As if we can trust him with her! He's the freakin' Devil!" Sam looked at his brother as if telling him inaudibly 'What other choice do we have?'

"I... suppose I... could look after it till Y/N gets back." Immediately Sam threw Ashley at Lucifer, not giving him the chance to rethink his decision and dragged Dean away, arguing. Not long after Ashley had calmed down as he hesitantly brought her to his shoulder where rested her head, rocking her gently.

"Satan, Y/N will be back latest tomorrow night. The kid shouldn't be much problem, she is only 10months, and don't eat her!" Dean called in as he left the bunker with Sam.

"Don't eat her! What because I don't like you doesn't mean I have an appetite for you" Ashley had started yawning. "Oh, someone's tired, come on then, let's get some sleep. Human spawn."

Lucifer walked down the corridors of the bunker, heading straight to Y/N's room, finding it with ease. However didn't find anything suitable for a child of 10 months.

"Well I'm not hunting for your room, we'll just sleep here" Lucifer lay on Y/N's bed with Ashley snuggled securely under his arm as if it was a second nature. Within minutes Ashley was asleep and even though Lucifer didn't need to sleep, he allowed himself to rest his eyes.
