That night, the boys realized by many parents didn't get a lot of sleep when their children were young. You seemed to cry every fricking hour. You either needed to be fed or you had crapped in your little diaper. Lucky for both of the Winchester brothers, Castiel took care of you to give the boys a break so they could try to get a little bit of sleep.
The next morning, both of the Winchesters were very, very tired. Castiel offered to just fly the three of you over to Bobby's, but Dean denied saying that he wasn't leaving a baby in the parking lot of some random motel. So, Dean drank a whole pot of coffee and the three of you were off. They made Castiel come with them in the car in case something happened to you in the back, he could fix it.
"Why do people even have babies? All they do is shit and eat and cry..." Dean mumbled grumpily, his hands gripping the steering wheel. The last thing he needed to do right now was to crash the car. That just wouldn't end well no matter how it played out.
"Many people enjoy having children. Some just to carry their family name while others like the emotion that they are needed by someone. They enjoy the feeling that they are not useless. Plus, children seem to make people happier after a long point of time." Castiel said, blinking as he looked at Dean with a blank expression on his face.
"Thanks, Cas," Dean said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. Didn't this guy know what a rhetorical question was?
"You're welcome, Dean..." Castiel said, looking out the window at the passing scenery.
You sat in a car seat, gurgling and doing things that normal babies did. Your hands tried to grab the air at random times as if you could see something that the others didn't. Castiel watched you, tilting his head to the side in confusion. What were you doing? You were different than the fledglings he had cared for in the past... You were happier and less powerful of course. You also didn't have wings that Castiel had to make sure you didn't hurt. Though you did have a fragile body that had to be looked after.
The car trip was mostly filled with rock music, gurgles that came from you snores that came from a sleeping Sam, and silence from Dean and Castiel. Every now and again Castiel would say a word or two to you as if you could understand him. Dean even though he heard Castiel whisper a few Enochian words in your ear when you started crying.
Dean was surprised at how well Castiel was at making sure you stayed calm and soothing you. Wouldn't fledgling babies or whatever they are, be different than a human baby? Would an angel be throwing the fledgling off of a cloud to make it fly? He really didn't understand how angels grew up...
The ride didn't seem to take very long, the time seeming to almost fly by. Soon, the four of you were standing outside a ranch house, multiple cars surrounding it outside. It had a homey feeling to it, even for Castiel. Most of that probably had to do with the man who lived inside the house though...
Yes, Bobby could be a rude drunk and probably was in most eyes but not to the Winchesters. If the boys had to pick one person for you to be raised by, then it would obviously be Bobby. He had done an amazing job when raising the Winchesters, so they were sure that he would do a great job when raising him.
Dean took in a deep breath before knocking on the door, holding you in his arms. They waited and seemed to be one of the most suspenseful things that they had ever done. What if Bobby wouldn't take you in? What would they do then? They shouldn't think about that, Bobby would take you in...Right?
The door opened and Bobby was standing there, wearing his normal hat and plaid. It was a comforting sight for the Winchesters, even Castiel felt an odd comfort feeling around this man. He motioned for the four you to come inside, glancing down at you as Dean walked inside.
"So, is that the little lady who might be staying with me?" Bobby asked, shutting the door and turning around with a frown on his face. It seemed like he frowned a lot more than he smiled. That didn't bother the boys though. They could tell when he was happy even if he was frowning.
"Yeah, Cas found her and brought her to us. We don't think we can really be dealing with a kid now so we thought that we would just come and see if you could take care of her.. Dean doesn't want to send her to an orphanage because of some stuff that Cas said about them." Sam said as Dean extended his arms toward Bobby to show you off. Bobby looked down at you and slowly picked you up in his arms. Your eyes were wide with wonder as you looked up at the new man who was holding you. You smiled and let out a tiny laugh as you thought that he was nice. Bobby couldn't help but let a small smile slip onto his lips when you laughed. It was just so darn cute! He quickly frowned once again.
"I guess she can stay here. Now, you boys go and get cleaned up. I can watch over the little lady while you do that. Go on now, don't keep me waiting. We can have dinner when you come back down," Bobby said and the boys did as they were told.
"I must leave but I will return tomorrow. Goodbye," Castiel said and gave you one last look before quickly vanishing out of sight so Bobby was left alone with you in his arms. He looked down at you and sighed, rocking you slightly. He didn't know what the future was but he felt like you were going to play an important role in your life.
