All You Did was Save my Life

Emotional

            “Cas, what’s wrong?” Dean asked once the others had left. Cas mumbled something into Dean’s shoulder, but it was too muffled for him to hear.

            “What was that Cas?” Dean asked and Cas lifted his head.

            “I–I don’t know w–why I’m like this!” he cried and then leaned forward again into Dean’s shoulder. Dean could feel the tear soaking through his t-shirt and ran his hand up and down Castiel’s back.

            “Shhh, its okay Cas,” Dean whispered, “Its okay.” When Cas didn’t respond, Dean continued.

            “Cas, I don’t know what happened between you, Gabriel, and Balthazar, but you know what I do know? I know they’re here right now and they’re here to help you,” Dean said, “If Sam was hurt I know I would do anything to help him and I think Gabriel and Balthazar probably feel the same way. If they didn’t then they wouldn’t be here.”

            “They left Dean,” Cas said, lifting his head again, “When I was a fledgling they were the only ones to pay me any attention after Lucifer fell. Then both of them left and Heaven declared Gabriel dead and then got word of Balthazar’s supposed death. I felt really alone Dean…”

            “You’re not alone Cas,” Dean said, “I’m here and Sam’s here, and Ellen and Bobby and Ben, and even Gabriel and Balthazar by the looks of it… You gotta give ‘em a chance Cas.”

            “I don’t know if I can Dean,” Cas whimpered.

            “Sure ya can Cas,” Dean said, “I’m gonna be here with you the whole time. But you gotta let ‘em help you Cas, okay? Cause I don’t know how.” Cas looked hesitant, but nodded nonetheless. Dean looked at the angel for a moment before he knew what he had to do.

            “Give me your hand,” he said and grabbed Cas’ hand in his. He laid Castiel’s hand on his baby bump and placed his own hand over top.

            “Tell me what that is,” Dean said.

            “It’s the Nephilim,” Cas said simply, but Dean shook his head.

            “No Cas, that’s not just a Nephilim,” Dean said, “That’s out baby, okay? That bump right there is out baby. Just remember that when they’re helping you. By helping you they’re helping the baby, okay?”

            “Okay,” Cas nodded, giving one of his rare smiles as he looked down at where their hands rested on his bump.

            “I’m gonna go get the others back in here,” Dean said and stood up. However, before he could go outside there was a noise behind him. He turned and saw Ben standing at the bottom of the stairs, rubbing his eyes.

            “Hey buddy,” he said, “You were really quiet up there, everything okay?”

            “I fell asleep,” Ben said, walking over to Dean and holding his arms up.”

            “Well that explains why it’s been so quiet,” Dean picked the little boy up, “I’m sorry I didn’t come upstairs to check on you little buddy, it’s been pretty crazy these last few hours.”

            “It’s okay daddy,” Ben said, “What’s wrong with Cas?”

            “The baby’s making Cas feel  a little sick buddy,” Dean said, “Cas is fine, but we gotta go easy on him until the baby gets here, okay?” Ben nodded as Dean put him on the couch next to Cas.

            “Now, you sit here while I go get the others, alright?” Dean said, looking from Ben to Cas as they both nodded.
