Coming Home

Chapter 5

Dean wakes up early to the sound of Cas getting sick and frowns.

He had been home for 4 months now, and the wedding was next week. But on Monday Cas had woken up and gotten sick, and he had been doing so every morning of the week.

Dean walk into the bathroom. "Hey angel, are you alright?" he squats next to Cas on the bathroom floor.

"I feel horrible." Cas mumbles.

"I'm going to stay home today and take you to the doctor." Dean says. "Just let me call Bobby, ok?"

Cas nods weakly.

Dean gets up and walks back into their room and pulls out his phone and dials Bobby's number.

'This is Bobby Singer's private cell, if you're a customer for Singer and Son Auto Shop and Salvage Yard, get off this damn line and call the business number. BEEP.'

"Hey Bobby, I'm not going to be at work today. Cas is really sick and I'm taking him to the doctor. I'll call you soon." Dean leaves the voicemail and walks back to Cas.

Cas stands up, with the help of Dean, and changes clothes before getting into the Impala to go to the doctor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm sorry... Say that again?" Dean says, shocked.

"It would appear that Castiel is pregnant." Dr. Troy says. "It is uncommon, put not impossible."

"So that's why I've been getting sick?" Cas asks quietly, still in shock.

"Yes, now just sit tight while I go get the things I need to perform a quick ultrasound." Dr. Troy leaves the room.

"Dean?" Cas says shakily.

Dean is still staring at the same place on the floor he was 2 minutes before.

"Dean!" Cas says, very upset.

Dean looks up at Cas with tears in his eyes. "I'm so sorry Cas."

"For what?" Cas asks. "For giving us children that we can raise?! You yourself said that we should have kids. This is a miracle and blessing for us." He is now also crying.

Dean looks Cas in the eyes. "But what if I turn out like my father? I couldn't do that to a kid Cas."

"Hey," Cas reaches out and cups Dean's cheeks with his hands, wiping away his tears with the pads of his thumbs. "You will be a great dad. Just look at how well you raised Sam."

Dean smiles. "This is really happening then? It's not just a dream?"

Cas chuckles and smiles, shaking his head.

Dr. Trevor walks in. "Now Castiel, if you could just sit in this chair for me we can get started."

"Hmm." Dr. Trevor says, furrowing his brow at the ultrasound screen

"What is it?" Dean asks worriedly, gripping Cas's hand tighter.

"Well... I thought that they were pieces of dust on the screen." Dr. Trevor says. "But I've checked again and I'm reading 4 heartbeats."

Cas's eyes go wide. "I'm having Quadruplets?!" he exclaims.

Dr. Trevor nods with a smile. "Congratulations, you'll soon both be the parents of 4 children."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, Cas and Dean are lying in bed together, both still in shock.

"We need to tell people." Cas says.

"How about we announce it at the wedding?" Dean suggests. "It'll be easier."

Cas nods in agreement before falling asleep.
