By Their Grace

Names

Dean couldn't help but smile as he watched Castiel interacting withthe cavy. He was squatting to be on the different cages level. Hekept a respectful distance from them since they were very skittishanimals. He spoke to them so softly and they were pulled to him.

Dean knew that they could speak to animals and he wondered if Castielwas actually talking to them now. Dean was lounging against the walljust watching him and seeing how in his element he was. Castiel keptcoming to one of the few very long haired guinea pigs, according tothe small card she was female and was all one color of an auburn.

"You make a choice sweetheart?" Dean asked and Castiel frownedwhich prompted Dean to hold his hands up. "Take your time Cas,"he promised and the angel shook his head.

"No, no that is okay. I think I do. This one seems receptive tocoming home with us and sharing a cage with Grace." Castielpointed, not to the long haired one that he had kept coming back tobut, to one of the normal looking ones in a combination of white,brown and black.

"Really?" He asked and Castiel tilted his head slightly.

"Do you not like her?" He asked and Dean frowned shaking hishead.

"No that isn't it, but I thought that you were really going forthat long haired one." He pointed to the auburn one who turned herhead over to look at their direction.

"Long furred ones require more attention since their fur has to betrimmed." He explained and Dean reached foreword to grip hisangel's shoulder.

"We can trim her, if she is who you want." Dean assured andCastiel looked excited for a moment before frowning again. "What isit baby?"

"I have already told her we will take her." He frowned and Deanknew he would hate to break a promise to the multicolored cavy.

"Well...we could always adopt two of them. Three is a lucky numberafter all." Dean said even on the inside he was groaning. There wasno denying it anymore even if he always truly knew it. He waswhipped. He was so fucking whipped.

"Really?" He asked with wide eyes and Dean nodded.

"Really Cas, the cage is big enough for the three of them, and thatway they'll have more then just one other animal; it can get kind ofargumentative if you only have two." Dean smiled and that widesmile that Castiel gave him was like seeing the sun shining down onhim and he couldn't help but smile back.

"Thank you beloved." He whispered hugging Dean tightly as Deanheld him back and smirking nipped his neck.

"We best be careful though; the one has fur longer than Sam'shair-he'll probably grow it longer so he can be with the longesthair." He chuckled as Castiel shook his head at the joke. He restedhis head on Dean's shoulder and hummed.

"Even so, we could always braid his hair and her fur." Castielsaid and Dean laughed pulling away to peck Castiel's nose.

"Maybe later, come on huggy bear." He took Castiel's hand leadinghim away.

"So what are their names?" Dean asked driving down while Castielreverently held the box holding the girls cooing to them pushing onefinger into one of the air holes so they can brush against them tohopefully calm them.

Whatever he was doing was helping as he cooed in a language that Deandidn't know. "What do you mean?" He asked before shaking hishead, "they are yours to, you should name one."

"Really? I'm not too great at naming things Cas." Dean tried todeflect but was cut off by his mate.

"You will pick out a great name for her. Do not worry." Castielassured and Dean sighed before shaking his head.

"Fine. Not like I can deny you anything. But you name one first. SoI know what names her sisters will have." Dean agreed but made surethat Castiel would name the one he wanted to name most first.

"Well that is good, considering I am the same when it comes toyou." Dean was probably smiling one of the sappiest smiles he everallowed to take over his face, but considering he was driving and solooking at the road he didn't mind enough to try to fight it. Insteadhe moved his hand in Castiel's so their fingers entwined and theyrested their hands palm to palm with each finger hugged by two fromtheir mate's hand. "I think the long furred one would do well tohave the name Bella." Castiel said and Dean raised an eyebrow.

"So Grace and Bella?" He asked and Castiel made a noise ofagreement.

"Yes. Grace, Bella and?" He waited patiently for Dean to think ashe did so.

"What about Amara?" Dean asked and Castiel hummed.

"Grace, Bella, and Amara?"

"Do you not like the name?" He asked and Castiel shook his head,interrupting Dean.

"No. It is a good name. I like it." Dean grinned squeezingCastiel's hand and his angel gave an answering squeeze of his own.

"Well...good. Let's get Bella and Amara home to their sister,yeah?"

"Yes Dean," Castiel happily agreed with his mate.
