Castiel has some important news to tell Dean, but he can not seem to get it through his husband's thick skull.

The pain of finding out…

Dean at first didn't hear what Cas was saying, he had heard everything his husband was saying, but when Cas had said the word, it didn't stick.

"I'm sorry, what?" Dean asked because really, he was in shock. He had just been sitting in his chair watching tv when Cas had come in and stood in front of tube, to where he couldn't see what was playing, which is the only way Dean would ever pay attention.

"I said I was…" you see? Cas had just said it again and his ears just wouldn't process it. It was like his brain refused to tell him, what it was that Cas was saying. He had just waved it off as unimportant, making Cas huff at him and walk off.

"Did you tell him?" Sam asked Castiel as he walked back into the kitchen.

"I tired, but to tell you the truth, I don't think he heard me," Castiel said as he reached into the fridge and pulled the bottle of orange juice and went to the counter.

"Oh well you know Dean, he'll get it eventually, and then you can watch the hilarity." Sam said as he put his bowl in the sink. He wiped the table down and left to go to work.

The supernatural world had been quiet for the past few months; Crowley it seemed wanted to do a little inventory in hell so he recalled all his demons. Vampires, werewolves and other freaks had decided that they needed to stay away, to regroup Dean had said before rolling his eyes as he went off to work.

They had jobs now, well not Cas, but he still went to heaven everyday when the boys were gone to their jobs. It was less lonely that way; Dean would call him when he got home. Although Dean had what they called a day off, so after Sam left Cas walked back into the living room.

In the past few days Cas had been feeling kind of odd, he really couldn't describe it, his grace would shift and that was a real funny feeling. His head would swim when he got up to quick. He didn't feel like he was sick, it was just a weird feeling.

Dean had noticed, he had said something, but Cas had just waved off his concern with it might just be a small cold, of course Dean didn't believe it, because when do angels get colds? He left it alone though, he didn't want Cas to feel smothered, so he shrugged it off.

Castiel finished off his orange juice, something that he had had a craving for since he had come down stairs with Dean this morning. He had told Sam that the last time he had went to heaven his brothers had looked at him, and then they all looked down. He had looked down also, but was unable to see what they were seeing.

Gabriel had walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder and said "Well it does appear that you are glowing today my brother." Cas had looked at him like he was an idiot, of course he was glowing, he was in his true form after all. He had tried to ask his brothers what Gabriel had meant, but they refused to tell him, finally Anna had huffed and stated that he was with child.

He didn't remember ever leaving heaven, but he found himself on the couch of his and Dean's home, with Dean leaning over him with a freaked out look on his face. When Dean had finally accepted the answer of he didn't know how he ended up on the couch, Sam had cornered him.

"Cas are you sure your okay? I mean, you don't sleep and yet you were past out on the couch." Castiel had looked down and then looked at Sam.

"What does it mean when one is glowing?" Sam had blinked at him, Castiel had told him never mind but Sam had grabbed his arm, "Anna told me that I was with child and Gabriel told me that I was glowing." Cas had to catch Sam after that.

"Dean, are you going to be staying in that chair all day?" Castiel asked as he walked back into the living room.

"Was thinking about it, why? you wanna do something?" Dean had leered at him, but Cas just rolled his eyes.

"I wish to go shopping," Dean looked surprise for a second then he smiled.

"I do believe that you are finally coming to understand humans my love," he said as he got up, he gave Cas a peck on the lips before stretching, "Okay let me go get ready, maybe we can have lunch," he paused at the bottom of the stairs. "Where are we going?"

"I do not have a preference, but there is so much I have to look for," Dean shrugged and walked up the stairs. Sam had bought Castiel a baby book and gave him a list of stuff they would need. He still didn't understand about diapers, but he figured that Dean would.

(The store)

"Seriously Cas, what are we looking for?" Dean whined as they had been to several stores already, he was getting irritated that they hadn't even bought anything yet, Cas was spending his whole day off window shopping.

"I have to price cribs Dean, I know you would prefer to buy our child a human made one, so I have to do research." Dean nodded and then started looking around, Castiel held his breath hoping that Dean would finally say something about the pregnancy.

Dean had looked at some cribs, began to price the ones he liked when it hit him. He turned around slowly and saw Castiel standing behind him staring at him with a hopeful face. Dean blinked and then blinked again, and then he saw nothing.

Castiel looked down on the floor where his husband was, he could see some of the people whom were shopping looking over at him.

"Not exactly the reaction I was hoping for, but oh well." Castiel said as he stepped over his husband. He liked this crib…

Hopefully not too bad, review please…

Thanks for reading…
