Summary: Castiel really should have known better than to have a relationship with Crowley. He might have been Castiel's most prominent client, but he was secretive and controlling. Castiel shouldn't have tumbled into bed with him in the first place. That way he would never have gotten pregnant, he would never have had to rush to hospital in the middle of the night and then he would never, ever have met Dean Winchester.
For a taxi-driver that only had the vaguest of qualifications though, he was, well, possibly the best thing that could have happened to Castiel at that point. He'd driven Castiel to the hospital the night he'd given birth, alone and still fuming at Crowley's betrayal, and had stayed. Dean had even driven him home, had returned later with Castiel's missing wallet and then, somehow, managed to form a bond with the baby that rivalled Castiel's own. As babysitters go, Castiel couldn't really find anyone better, despite Dean's charming smiles and winks in his direction. But now as Castiel tries to get his life back on track and settle down with a better father-figure for his son, is Dean going to prove to be more a help or a hindrance?
Thoughts: I think the summary describe it enough. Dean is such a caretaker here, so lovely and kind and supportive. Exactly what Cas needs. It takes him forever to realized that Dean likes him and unngghh the slow build. It has a domestic feel to it an when they finally get together ALL MY DOMESTIC HAPPY ENDING DESTIEL FEELS EXPLODED. Sweet sweet fic and the depiction of Baby!Gabriel is spot on!!!
