            Several weeks passed and Castiel's approximate due date loomed closer and closer. Gabriel and Balthazar were in and out of Bobby's house all the time. They'd leave to try and find out what the other angels were planning to do once Cas had the baby, but arrived once a week to check up on Cas. Gabriel had been right in saying that as the baby got stronger, Cas would get weaker.

            In two months, Cas' baby bump had turned into a prominent belly. Gabriel and Balthazar had said that they weren't sure how much Cas would grow as the baby was only half human, but as his vessel has to account for the expanding Grace as well they said he would probably get bigger still. Cas now looked to be about eight months along rather than six. The cramps had stopped for the most part, only occurring when Cas over did himself. However, even the smallest movements seemed to be too much for Cas lately which meant a heating pad was always kept close by.

            The pregnant angel was also exhausted all the time. He had taken up permanent residence on Bobby's couch when the stairs proved too much for him. This meant Dean had taken up residence on the chair right next to the couch. Dean was rarely more than a few feet away from Cas and when he was he was usually doing something for the angel or Ben.

            That was how it worked. Dean looked after Cas and Ben, and Bobby and Ellen looked after Dean. However, this also meant  none of them realized when Sam started leaving the house suddenly. When Dean did notice he assumed his brother was out trying to figure out what Heaven was up to, or trying to get away from the madness that was Singer Salvage.

            He had no idea that what his brother was doing would not help them. But rather that it was something much more sinister.
