Military Dad

Off to War

I met Castiel Novak at the Lincoln High School. We were high school sweet hearts. I never left his side. One the day we graduated I asked him to stay with me forever. We were married on August 3, 2003. Three months later a miracle happened. We found out that Cas was able to carry children. Which is a 1 in 300 chance for men but it is possible obviously. He carried our twin boys Max and Joshua until September 26, 2004. Joshua was born at 2 pm and Max was born at 2:54 pm. Seeing their faces was the happiest moment of my life. It was hard at the start but we learned how to raise our boys to be healthy, but about 2 years later we started to run low on money. So I enlisted into the military and every single day I was put through intense training. When I came home my boys were waiting for me. 8 months later I was chosen to go to help with the war, so I packed up my stuff. When I was leaving, my family and I gathered together on the steps. I kissed my boys on the head, "I'll be back. I promise." "You better." I looked up my husband. I stood up and brushed off my uniform. He looked me in the eye and I pulled him in closer to me and kiss him. When we finally let each other go, he whispered in my ear as I was about to leave, "I know this isn't the best time to say this but I am pregnant." I smiled, "Really?!?!?!" "Yes" He pulled the test (which was in a bag) out of his pocket. I saw the little pink plus sign. I hugged him one more time, "This is great babe."

I was beckoned to the truck waiting for me. "I love you all." I cried back. "Wait Daddy!" Max handed me his small teddy bear and Joshua gave me his blankie. "Are you sure?" I asked them. "We don't need them, Daddy." They gave me one more hug and I hopped into the truck.

On the way to the airport I called Sam.

"Hello?"

"Hello, it's Dean"

"Hey! What's up?"

"Going to the airport. Can I ask you for a favor?"

"Sure, What do you need?"

"Well Castiel is pregnant. Can you go by and help him with the boys so he doesn't put strain on himself?"

"Yeah, Congratulations."

"Thanks. I have to go. Bye."

"Bye"

I hung up and stared out the window until we go to the airport. We went through the airport security. I gathered with the rest of on my comrades and we waited for the plane to be to call us on. When we got on the plane and into the air, I looked down at the ground below me and thought of my boys and Castiel. I took out the picture in my pocket. It was taken when the boys where about 8 months old. Joshua had his blankie in is small chubby hand with such a big smile. Max was next to him with his bear in his lap. He was sucking on the ear but looked at the camera with such intensity. Castiel and I stood behind them. I had my arm around his waist. He was so happy that day. We finally got the boys in a suit that day without them getting it all dirty. It was a very good day.
