WHO: Claire & Dean and whoever else is attending
WHAT: The ~~wedding reception~~ post-wedding party!
WHEN: 9PM; Halloween
WHERE: Harvelle's Roadhouse
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress
NOTES: This is going to be one of those threads with sub-threads that your character can reply to. For instance, if they're getting a drink, have them reply to the bar sub-thread, then someone can reply to them for a conversation. No one is required to post (you can just say your character attended) but if you want, feel free! Basically during this party the candy will also start to take effect, so your characters may start acting a bit... immature. ;) So have fun and Happy Halloween everyone!

Ellen had put everyone without shouting distance to work just as soon as the word had come that Dean and Claire's reception was going to be at the Roadhouse. By the time the wedding was said and done, the bar was fully stocked, a band was scheduled to play primarily classic rock, and there was a spread of various finger foods on a series of tables that took up one wall of the main room. All-in-all, Ellen felt they'd done a damn good job of throwing the whole thing together.

Now she just hoped that the rest of the party went as smoothly as the set up had gone.

"I don't think Sam's desire should determine if you know if you are more comfortable knowing. You need to not tell him." Only the fact she was considering Sam's feelings and desires made a little spark of hope flutter in his chest. He kept it to himself, having no desire to pressure the girl for a decision. There would be other chances if she chose another family or chose to keep the baby. Castiel did not see himself as a good candidate for a child at this point and he was not going to present himself as such.

All the same... "I am glad you are taking care," he said. "You should... do you wish to join us for a meal tomorrow night? I am learning to cook and we would be happy to have you. You can see our domestic situation and we can watch amusing films."

	Juno smiled, shaking her head. "I'm so bad at keeping secrets, I just know that if I found out, then I wouldn't be able to stop myself from telling everybody." She nodded enthusiastically at his suggestion of dinner. "I'd like that. Watching amusing films is like my favorite pastime." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That is your choice. I am not concerned by gender. Outside of procreation it is irrelevant." Maybe it wasn't the most sensitive thing to say to a pregnant girl but Cas wasn't the most socially aware of beings.

"Is there anything you cannot eat?" Castiel asked, feeling strongly protective of the girl and aware that there were things he couldn't eat, as it turned out.

"Yeah. What are hormones and why do we have them anyway? It's not like I needed to be procreating at my age." Juno wasn't the type to be easily offended. She had a habit of blurting out whatever was on her mind, herself.

She shook her head in answer to his concerns about dietary restrictions. "Not really. I'm always hungry. I just can't always eat large portions in one sitting."

"The mother or Christ was your age," Castiel said pragmatically. "But I believe, in your culture, procreation at such a young age is not necessary. I know... it was not your intention. I know you are far from home. I also know what that is like. You may call on Sam and I any time for assistance or company."

He nodded. "Then I will make the dish Ben taught me. It has steak and vegetables."

"Yeah, I guess she was," Juno said, "And I did get pregnant on the first and only time, which is almost as close as you can get to a virgin birth without divine intervention. Or artificial intervention. But yeah. Oops?" She shrugged. She was still conflicted about her own feelings on the pregnancy--and her feelings toward the baby's father--and the hormones didn't really help with that.

"I really appreciate you guys wanting to help us out," she said, rubbing her belly again. "Especially since I just showed up out of the blue. Steak and veggies sound great."

"You appear to be highly fertile. I would take precautions in future or abstain until you are ready to raise a child," said the ever pragmatic Castiel. "But you have already shown yourself to be wise. I am sure you do not need such advice." He took another disinterested sip of his drink.

"Sam cares a great deal for you, and I believe I understand why. We have all been in that situation, being new here, only perhaps it is worse for you. Everyone here is a stranger. He could not leave you to your own devices, especially not considering and danger apparent at your arrival. I agree with him. You are also... interesting in your outlook. I believe I can learn much from you. I have much to learn. Do not think we get nothing from interacting with you." He wasn't speaking of the baby which he had laid no claim to, not even in his own mind. "Your company is refreshing."

	"Don't worry," she said, "I intend to do just that." She cocked her head, nodding pensively in regard to the dangers of Colligo at the time, and the ensuing strangeness, and blushing at his continued compliments. "I'm not sure what I have to teach, but I'm looking forward to getting to know you and Sam both." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I am glad, for your sake. This is not an easy thing you are doing. I understand you want your time to... play." You didn't spend as much time around teenagers as Cas had lately and miss their exuberant sense of fun and desire for pleasure (usually of the non-sexual kind. He hoped. He did not wish this difficult on another, even if may be the only chance he and Sam had of having a child.

"Do you think because you are young you have nothing to teach those older than you? Even Our Lord held children up as an example and I have much to lean about simply being human. It is not your taste to teach me but though contact with you I will learn much and this will help me greatly, even if I do not always like what he learn." There were some things he and Sam had had to deal with recently he was simply not going to talk about. There was something else he was getting from Juno. A purpose. A focus outside of his own problems. A distraction and he was desperate for those.

"I know I'm learning a lot about myself, lately," she agreed, "It's good to have fun, and to be able to find work you can enjoy, but I think there's a lot that I've taken for granted, being a kid. Like not having to pay my own bills on top of keeping my grades up. But Sam and Dean were good enough to offer me a job at their auto shop so I don't have to worry quite as much. Plus it gives them more time to focus on actually fixing the cars, if I can take care of answering phones and stuff."

She smiled, her chest swelling with a sense of accomplishment. "I know it's going to be a lot of work, still, but you know, I'm cool with that."

"You may have to work, to pay your bills, but you do not have to take all of the responsibility. We will..." Castiel stopped. "I will need to find work too. We wish to help you with expenses, with things you will need and now I consume too I cannot rely only on Sam. You may eat with us when you wish, there is always something in the fridge. Sam is vigilant, especially now..." Cas's voice trailed off a little. "But I will be helping.

Cas smiled a little at her obvious pride in herself. "We are both new at this but you have done very well. I will make the same attempt and, perhaps, we can both take pride on our achievements." He kept his voice low, leaned in close. This was just between them. Cas had already found himself winning a few small victories. He knew he would need to over come many, many more battles.

	She nodded, offering him a grateful smile. It felt good to be accepted, to be valued, even if she didn't always have much to offer but her friendship and her two hands. "I like you guys," she said, "And I'll try to help out as much as I can. Even if it's just cleaning up the dishes afterward. Every little bit counts." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You are welcome to contribute," Castiel agreed. "Whatever you feel comfortable with." Castiel was well versed in people who needed to pay their own way. It was a feeling he was starting to feel the pull of himself.

"We like you too, Juno," Castiel said. "And, while you are here, we will do what we can to ensure your distress is at a minimum." He really could only promise to try. He couldn't spare anyone, even himself. All of them could really only promise not to leave those they cared for to suffer alone and, as Cas had found, that was significant.

	"Thanks, Cas," Juno said, smiling. She could tell he was trying his best, and that he was sincere, and she could appreciate that. "And, you know, feel free to pester me about baby stuff. I'm still figuring it out as I go along, but you might think of something that I haven't researched yet." (Reply to this) (Parent)
