Two Winchesters and a Baby Angel

[AStarorTwo]

Swinging their little one up in the air, then setting him gently down in his playpen, the brother grinned brightly at each other. Cas seemed to really enjoy having time with them, and letting the Winchesters take care of him.


"I think this is a good idea, Sam," Dean confirmed.


"Me too."

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas gurgled as he picked up a toy and tossed it out of the playpen, giggling happily. Then he picked up another toy and did the same thing, giggling even louder this time.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Making a surprised sound in his throat, Sam caught the toy Cas threw effortlessly. When the next toy came flying, it hit Dean's chest before falling into the hunter's hands, giggles from their little one growing louder. This process continued, with both brothers sneakily dropping the toys in the playpen, so it seemed like Cas wasn't losing any ammo.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas bounced a little picking up a toy and throwing it out again. He was being a bit of a troublemaker by throwing his toys out, but this was his idea of playing, and getting others involved.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Once again catching the flying toys all around, the brothers didn't know whether they should punish Cas for throwing his toys out or not. But it looked like he was fun, and not really meaning any harm, so they let it slide.


But after a while, their arms were getting tired, and Dean was a bit tired of getting hit in the face one too many times.


"Hey, Cas. How about we stop throwing things at each other and maybe...go outside and play?" Sam offered, thinking it'd give the angel more space to play, and less of a chance of being too wound up in his playpen.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas looked up at Sam and nodded, somewhat understanding what the younger Winchester was asking him. He wanted to go outside. It was a nice, sunny day, with weather perfect for outside fun and playtime.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Both Winchesters gave a small smile at their friend, and picked him up in a similar fashion to before, but instead Cas was tucked underneath their arms, like a football.


"Next destination: outside!" Dean hollered, with Sam joining him in the cheering, as the two brought Cas outside.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas looked up at the brothers confusedly. Why were they carrying him like this? Was he so big that it required two people to carry him somewhere?


He didn't think so.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Sensing their friends confusion, Sam eventually figured out why, "Uh...we don't really have to...carry you like this, Cas. We just thought it'd be fun." Dean awkwardly nodded, "Yeah. Just one of us can carry you."

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas liked that idea much better. It was silly having two people carry you when it was kinda unecessary. Once Cas looked around and saw that he was outside, he smiled and babbled excitedly.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Placing Castiel on the grass, Dean smirked, eyes crinkling at the corners, "Looks like someone's tryin' to talk." It was beautiful out, the sun shining and it neither being too hot or too cold.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas just sat there for a minute before he got onto his hands and knees, and slowly started to crawl around. He was pretty clumsy at it, too, nearly falling over a few times.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Wrinkling his brow in concern as he watched the angel slowly crawl around, Sam wondered aloud, "Should we go help him?"


Dean shook his head, "Nah. He'll be okay, besides, aren't babies supposed to learn to crawl...kinda on their own?" Though the brothers remained close by Cas, in case he was to actually fall over.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas eventually crawled back to Sam and Dean, plopping down in front of them, and smiling, bringing his fingers to his mouth and sucking on them.

 

[AStarorTwo]

"We do need to get him to stop doing that, though," Sam inquired, watching their little one in front of them.


Ruffling Cas' hair, Dean gave his brother a quizzical look, "Why?"


"'Cause he'll rub them raw, Dean. That's what pacifiers and all those other things are for."


The older rolled his eyes, "Fine." Pulling out a pacifier from his pocket, "For easy access for 'im, Sam." Dean handed it to Cas.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas refused the pacifier, though, and just continued to suck on his fingers, which were already turning red. (maybe they should put some mittens on Cas, since he won't listen to them?)

 

[AStarorTwo]

(Just thinking the exact same thing.)


Making a dissatisfied sound, Dean went back in the house to grab a pair of mittens he had bought. Going back outside, the hunter put them over the angel's hands.


Stepping back, the older nodded to himself, "There, I think that'll work."

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas looked at the mittens and made an unhappy noise. He pouted and tried to get them off, but it was basically impossible. Cas looked up at Dean with an angry expression.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Sam felt the impending, and possible tantrum that would erupt from their little one, so he slowly backed away a few inches. When Dean threw a glare at him, the younger shook his head.


Huffing out a breath, the older kneeled down to get to Cas' eye-level, "I know you don't like these, Cas. But if you don't stop sucking on your fingers, then there's not much else we can do about it."

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas just pouted and eventually started to throw a huge tantrum, face red and tear stained, arms and legs kicking and flailing. He was not happy one little bit.

 

[AStarorTwo]

The younger Winchester quickly went to go empty the playpen of anything while Dean picked up Cas, the older's face stony. Dodging the angel's flailing limbs, the hunter eventually made his way to the playpen and set down Cas in it, surrounding by nothing by empty space.


Sam then stood in front of their friend, arms crossed over his chest, "You're staying there for a while, Cas. As long as it takes to get you to understand that we don't want you to hurt, so that's why you can't suck on your fingers too much. Okay?"


Of course, Sam knew the shorter wouldn't be able to process all of that, but hopefully enough.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas whined and fussed as he kept kicking and flailing, until he eventually tired himself out, and curled up in the playpen, sleeping quietly.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Quirking a brow, Dean shrugged, "Well...that settled it."


"I guess so...now what do we do?"


The older gestured to the Impala parked outside, "I'm gonna go work on Baby. And you...can just do your nerd crap."


Frowning at his brother's words, Sam shook his head before going to his computer on the table beside Cas' playpen, making Dean smile in triumph before heading outside.

 

[WeirdAlternativeGirl]

Cas rolled over in his sleep, gently suckling on his pacifier, and wetting his diaper a little.

 

[AStarorTwo]

Glancing up from his computer, the Winchester smiled at their little one. It was such a huge difference now, from the powerful, commanding angel that protected them, to a man-child that needed protecting.
