Raising Sammy

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sammy gurgled softly, and continued chewing on the giraffe, the soft rubber soothing to his sore gums. He'd found the perfect teething toy.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Entering the living room, the two angels smiled softly at Sam chewing on the rubber giraffe, apparently finding something to help with his current teething.


"Hey, kiddo. Looks like your brother gave you a bath! Wonder how that went," Gabriel smiled. The glare Dean had given in reply made the archangel laugh, while Castiel smiled softly and pressed a kiss to Sam's nose.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam cooed and reached out at Cas, wanting him to pick him up, as he didn't get held by Cas that often.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Kneeling down and picking up Sam, Castiel rumbled, "Hello, Sam." It had been a while since the blue-eyed man had held Sam, and Cas immediately grew fond of it all over again.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam smiled and laid his head on Cas' shoulder, a bit of drool dribbling out the corner of his mouth, pooling onto Cas' trenchcoat.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Not bothered in the slightest by the drool pooling onto his trenchcoat, Castiel rubbed small circles along Sam's back.


Watching the usually neutral angel be who he really was: warm and caring, Gabriel and Dean exchanged a fond smile at the pair.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam yawned and his eyes started to droop. He was getting sleepy again, but was also trying very hard to keep himself awake, which was becoming more and more difficult.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Immediately knowing Sam was starting to fall asleep, Castiel brought the taller to his crib and laid him down carefully, a warm blanket and pacifier right beside Sam. Brushing away a couple of chestnut strands, the angel smiled warmly, eyes crinkling at the corners before he quietly left.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam smiled in his sleep, rolling over onto his side, the younger curled up, and wrapped his arms around a stuffed animal, holding it close.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Having some adult time, the three split apart to continue their own business, but equally looking forward to when Sam would wake up and they'd take care of him some more.


(Skip to another day, maybe?)

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam woke up the next morning, feeling a little bit better, but still congestedand teething, which didn't seem to bother him as much as yesterday.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Entering Sam's nursery, Dean stood above his crib, smiling, "Hey, Sammy. Feelin' any better?"

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam looked up at Dean and smiled, gurgling softly, as he made grabby hands for him, pouting adorably with big puppy-dog eyes.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Taking that as an adorable yes, Dean scooping his brother up before laying the younger down on the changing mat. While Dean changed his brother, he blew a raspberry on Sam's tummy, remaining careful and gentle. It would be a while before Sam's stomach was back to normal.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam giggled and squirmed, enjoying the feeling of a fresh, clean diaper. Looking up at his brother, the younger smiled and gurgled, trying to say "I love you."

 

[AStarorTwo]

Over the time since he started to look after Sam, Dean had gotten to understand most of the younger's form of communication. And, knowing that Sam tried to say "I love you." the older blushed before smiling warmly, green eyes crinkling at the corners.


Dressing Sam in a onesie and socks, Dean showered Sam's face in kisses, "Love you too, Sammy."

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam smiled and giggled softly, rolling onto his tummy and arm-crawling along the floor, slowly inching his way across the room.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Laughing in his happiness and surprise, Dean felt his heart swell with pride at Sam, who managed to roll onto his tummy and arm-crawl in the same time. It was incredible.


Opening the door so Sam could continue arm-crawling if he wanted, Dean beamed his bright smile at Gabriel and Castiel, who appeared in the hallway and stood wide-eyed at Sam.


"Woo! Good job, kiddo!" Gabriel cheered, grinning like an idiot.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam stopped and looked up at Gabriel, drooling slightly, and giving him an innocent smile. He liked having all this attention and affection from the three, it made him feel so loved and special.

 

[AStarorTwo]

The three continued to have loving, warm expressions on their face as they watched Sam slowly arm-crawl to their living room, before stopping at his blanket on the floor.


Castiel and Dean stood beside each other before Cas said softly, "It's amazing, Dean."


Breathing a laugh at his friend's response, Dean replied, "Hell yeah it is."

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam giggled as he sat up, and started playing with his toys, babbling to himself.

 

[AStarorTwo]

All three sitting on the couch, watching Sam play with his toys and babble, they were elated and bubbling with anticipation at the days to come.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam soon started to get bored after a while, and pouted, wanting someone to play with him.

 

[AStarorTwo]

The three caretakers soon joined Sam on the blanket, starting to play with their charge.


Holding the infamous red ball, Dean smiled and wondered, "Wanna give this thing another try, Sam?"

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Sam reached out and took the ball from Dean, giving it a throw, and squealing excitedly when it rolled across the room.
