Fading Angels [SPN Fanfic]

Home-Cooked Meal

I reached for the blanket but it was on the floor. Groaning I rolled over into something. Someone.

"Castiel?"

His blue eyes were open wide with an emotion I had never seen before but disappeared to his usual emotionless face.

I had seen concern and possibly even love.

"I was ordered to kill you but I couldn't. What about-"

I cut him off with a hug.

"Don't worry Cass. We are both strong enough to protect eachother."

"How much longer?"

"A little over three months."

"Girl or boy?"

"We'll find out."

I found myself ringing Lisa's doorbell with Castiel in tow. Ben answered the door and he beamed me a smile.

"I will get Dean and Mom."

He left the door open and I shut it behind myself and Castiel. In the past five months, Dean had made himself at home. He fit right into a normal family. I smiled at the family photos. Lisa came in and invited us to the living room. Castiel sat down beside me on a love seat while Ben flopped into a bean bag chair. Lisa sat on the couch and turned off the sports that Dean had playing.

I could tell that having Castiel was slightly uncomfortable for Dean but I wasn't letting him out of my sight just yet. He wasn't strong after the torture. Lisa obviously could see right through my baggy sweater to the fact that I was far along. Even though Dean seemed the most uncomfortable he spoke first.

"I missed you Kaylee. I didn't exactly get to visit with you the last night you came."

"Yes well, I had work to do."

Yes I had to save my boyfriend. Then deal with his best friend taking over my job.

"Kaylee?"

"Sorry. What was that?"

"You don't look too well. Do you have the flu?"

"N-no I'm fine."

Was it really that obvious? I hope not. Before long a normal conversation was started and by normal I mean Ben playing on a gameboy or some toy, Lisa talking to me about some cute clothes once in a while, while Dean talked about sports or his job and Castiel just sat there confused.

A timer went off in the kitchen and Lisa went to work on supper with Ben. As she left she gave me a look. What kind of look? Tell Dean or else he will decapitate me when he sneaks it from me with some voodoo stuff. Dean offered Cass a drink which he accepted and I wondered what would happen if he got drunk. Dean handed me one but I refused. Dean stared at me and so I offered him a kinder egg.

"What's up Kaylee?" He spied a look at the kitchen where Lisa and Ben were in a conversation. He lowered his voice.

"Have you got ghost sickness?"

Ghost sickness? What is that? By the haunted look in Dean's eyes I figured that he once had it.

"Not that I know of."

Now Dean seemed even more confused but before he could ask another question, Lisa interrupting with the news that supper was ready. The relief must have been obvious on my face because Dean gave me a look. We all sat down and listened to Ben about school and sports and other things he enjoyed.

I had finished my potatoes and nudged Castiel when I realized he hadn't touched his meal. He got my drift and began to eat. Either he really enjoyed home-cooked meals or his vessel must have helped him because he ate the whole plate with a smile and a 'This makes me very happy' speech. Dean must have heard it before because he rolled his eyes.

Ben asked for icecream and so I went down with him to the freezer. They didn't have any so I lifted up a random box and surprise, surprise, icecream. Lisa and I dished it out and soon it was eight o'clock.

"Bedtime Ben."

"Aww, Mom do I have to? We have company."

"Yes."

"But-"

Time to help Lisa.

"We were just leaving so that we could go to sleep as well."

"Well, okay."

Lisa and Ben went upstairs with Dean following to the bottom of the stairs. Cass and I said goodbye and went out the front door. 'I'm going to make it. No telling Dean' I thought.

Dean grabbed my arm and pulled me back. I knew he would make me tell. I stole a glance at Castiel who was standing on the sidewalk.

"Kaylee what is going on? Cass don't you leave."

I gulped. This would be harder than telling Castiel.

"Kaylee?"

"I-I'm kind of....umm...."

"Cass?"

Castiel was beside us now.

"Cass what is wrong with her?"

Dammit. He would tell.

"It is obvious Dean."

I kicked Castiel's foot and he turned to me.

"Why did you kick my foot?"

Oh well this is great the only way it could get worse is if-

"Hey Sugar. How's it going with you and junior. Oh hey Dean."

"Junior?"

Of course Balthazar showed up. We all ended up back in the house in a separate room with the door closed.

"What the hell is going on."

Dean didn't get an answer and when Balthazar began to speak up I glared at him. I knew that we wouldn't be aloud to leave until he got the truth.

"I'm going to be having a baby."

I watched as Dean walked to a closet, unlocked a safe and pulled out a gun.

"Who do I shoot."

"No one."

Dean loaded the gun.

"Who? Who is the father?"

Castiel must have shown something because Dean walked over.

"Can you find out who is the dad?"

Before Castiel could answer Balthazar piped up.

"Its been nice visiting but I have a case- Kaylee's case- and if you want a little info Dean, Kaylee's mom was a sweet innocent angel who did not so innocent PG18 stuff. Same as our angels here. Bye."

He was gone before Dean was able to process his statement. He turned to me for confirmation. "Wait. You and-"

He pointed the gun at Castiel.

"No."

He cocked the gun knowing that I was lying.

"Don't shoot him!"

Dean pulled the trigger.
