A Little Thimble of Joy

Amongst the soft blue cotton of Jackās t-shirt, there lay a baby. His precious face was screwed up and he was grunting, starting to fuss. He raised his fist in a jerky movement only to swing it back down. The three men froze, each standing with their jaws agape.
"What - what in the hell!?" Sam hissed, clutching his head, "Is he - is that, a, a-,"
"An infant, yes. Jack, in fact," Cas murmured. The baby looked up and cooed at Cas. Slowly, Cas reached down to touch the baby, who looked to be about four or five months old.
He was surprised by how warm the wriggling child was under his hand. Immediately upon contact, he began to cry.
"Please don't," Cas begged softly as he went to pick him up.
āWhat in the fuck is this?" Dean grumbled. Cas looked up to meet his eye - he could see that Dean was practically shaking and his eyes were wide. He was not sure heād ever seen Dean so afraid. It amused him in a vague sense - Cas had seen Dean fight monsters, demons, even Satan and archangels. Yet in spite of that, a small infant had him looking more frightened than ever.

And I can't eat, can't sleep, can't sit still or fix things and I wake up and I wake up and you're still dead Dean didn't do so well with the whole "We're Gonna Die, Cas's confession, Panic Mode, Cas is Gone" debacle. What's the point, everyone else gets a win. What does Dean get- nada. Until the moment, his win walked back through the bunker doors. Cas was back, now they could have everything. Because sure Cas, happiness is in the being, but now our happiness is going to be in the having... maybe.Ā
Keep reading for a sneak preview!
So, he asks the most obvious question, one that will take them away from the heaviness he feels pressing down on his chest. āHow are you here?ā Cas pulls even further away, and Dean immediately misses the warmth of his embrace. While no longer embracing, they make no motion to move from their spots on the steps. Cas standing one above Dean, now slightly taller. āI donāt know. One moment I was surrounded by the Empty and the next I woke up in a field. The same field from a few years ago, the windmill was still there, and the flowers were as lovely as I remembered. It was a pleasant location to wake up in.ā Dean can feel the heat flood his face; he chose that same place when situations were just as dire. Dean can remember the breeze on his face as he looked over the small plot of land. Thinking that if Castiel deserved anything in death, it was a beautiful resting place. Everything that Dean wanted to say to Cas flooded his throat in that moment, too long was Cas gone. Again. It was one thing that he could almost always bet on, that Cas never stayed. Whether or not that was by choice was a spiral that could be addressed later. Dean wanted to tell Cas everything, about every emotion he felt while he was gone and all his feelings for the angel. But when he went to try to say it out loud, he was once again choked up. Goddammit. Can I do anything right. I canāt even tell him how I feel. He deserves to hear it after that stunt he pulled. Dying on me, thinking it would be okay if he did. Actually, fuck him, Cas left him again. Sure, he saved us, not for the first time, but he wasnāt going to be there so what was the point. Complete ass, leaving me behind like that. Instead of saying any of that, what did leave his lips was, āIām glad to have you back, buddy.ā

Summary: The Winchester Brothers believe that Castiel's vision of paradise on Earth meant that Jack was destined to become God. They believe that the vacuum of power left by Chuck and Amara requires his sacrifice. Castiel believes there had to be another way and resents that the brothers, who prized free will, are dictating to Jack what he is destined to do. After an accident, Jack's powers to become dormant, the brothers' continue to disagree with Cas, and pressure on Jack to tap into his powers and fill the role of God grows. The responsibility on his shoulders eventually overwhelms the nephil, and he taps into his powers in a fit of pique, making sure that others see how he feels inside - helpless and in need of love and care... an infant. Now that Jack is a baby, and the other three members of Team Free Will are left in shock, scrambling to care for him. The act of caring for a child brings Cas and Dean closer together at long last, but begins to drive the Winchesters farther apart. Dean is forced to grapple with past traumas of his own upbringing in order to be better for Jack, and he finds himself opposing Sam's vision of how to cope with Jack's transformation. The brothers find themselves hundreds of miles apart, and as Cas and Dean spend more time with Jack, the more Dean longs for a life of domesticity and fatherhood. However, Dean's internal demons always prove to be more of a struggle than anything he'd encountered in Hell. If they think their troubles would end there, Heaven and Hell are seeking to kidnap Jack and foil an ancient prophecy, which will leave Team Free Will needing to reconvene and figure out if they will defend Jack or force him into the God role he was so afraid of after all.

Cas frantically but gingerly scooped him into the crook of his arm, cradling his head per the hunterās frantic instruction.Ā Jack cried, the sound was weak and repetitive. Cas felt absolutely panicked, but remained silent. "Jack, please turn back now," Cas urged softly. "I am not qualified to tend to an infant. I donāt think any of us are." Sam looked pale and anxious as he took in the sight. "What the hell are we going to do now?" he asked. "Why is he a baby? Whatā¦crap!" Sam spluttered. Dean took a deep breath and shrugged in answer. He was still looking pale and frightened, but Cas supposed it made sense - Dean snapped into action when he was afraid, so the first step would always be to shake it off and get to work. The angel knew it didnāt mean he was less terrified inside, but this was how Dean worked. It was just the way he was built. "What if he still doesn't sleep much? What the hell are we gonna do? How long is he gonna be a baby?" Sam asked again, frantic. He tried to stand up but he gripped his head and sat back down.Ā "Cas, you alright?" Dean asked gruffly, ignoring Samās string of concerned questions. He walked over to Cas and stopped near him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "I'm not injured. Help Sam," he instructed, still looking down at the crying squirming infant in his arms in fear and wonderment.Ā He could notĀ sense anything physically wrong with him. He was unexpectedly a baby, he was crying and Cas was at an absolute loss. Of all the things Jack could do with his powers, this hadn't been on the list of things Cas predicted.
