Who: Dean, Bela, and Bebeh Sammy.
What: Dealing with the baby!
When: Today.
Where: The Winchester ~~Compound~~ Mansion

Dean had fit Sam into the black Snugli that his assistant had delivered the day prior. He'd found out very quickly that Sam didn't like being put down, and he winced every time he heard the little guy squalling. He was trying to make lunch with Sam kicking and giggling when the doorbell rang. Roxy beat him to the door, as usual, but Dean shushed her and opened it up quickly afterward.

"Oh, thank God."

	Dean stroked his little brother's head, smiling a bit as he moved to take off the Snugli. "You sure you're okay with this? He's gonna cry when I give him to you. He doesn't want anyone but me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lovely. Her heart was pounding in her throat - she could feel it - but what was she to do, tell him no? 'Sorry, if I drop him or scar something irretrievable, it's on your head?' She nodded slowly, trying to smile a bit. "I can manage." Lie number one, my girl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sammy knew Dean was going to put him down, he could feel it. This was okay for a little bit as long as he could still *see* Dean. Dean held Sammy close, and it was nice but he could sense what was coming. Dean gave Sammy kisses on his head, but then? Then he did something strange.

He put Sammy into a stranger's hands. Sammy's feet dangled as he tried to make heads or tails of this new....person...but this was just...unacceptable.

Sammy whimpered a few times, and turned his head to try to see Dean. His lower lip wibbled.

	Dean winced when he saw that lip wibble. "Um. Bring him into the bathroom with me, okay? Just trust me." He discarded his pants like he was in the NBA, walking as fast as he could to the shower. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bela blinked. " ... This is insane." She picked up the child as best she could, holding him in her arms, never mind the carrier thing. Still, she obeyed, following Dean with a look of disbelief. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sammy didn't like being held this way. Sammy didn't like being held by this person. Sammy didn't like this person. He opened his mouth and cried, shrieking and squalling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dean winced when he heard Sam, and he waved to him from the shower, frantically turning on the taps. "Sammy! Sammy! Lookit what Dee's doin'!" He tested the water and then had a genius idea. He turned off the shower spray, and started filling the tub. "Here, lemme have him." He took Sam back from Bela and started to undress him. "Keep me company, Sugarbutt?"

	Bela's face flamed red with - shame? Embarrassment? Ironic a child could make her feel humiliated when most adults couldn't. "I'm intruding," she murmured, trying to blindly fumble her way out of the too-damned-large bathroom, but when he asked her to stay, she nodded, sitting on the edge of the vanity. This was akin to her worst nightmares. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sammy was back in Dean's arms, but there was this loud, loud noise now. He whimpered still and snuffled into Dean's arms. What was he thinking, anyway? This was clearly a stranger. Sammy didn't like strangers. He looked at the thing that Dean wanted him to look at. He was unimpressed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Dean ran half a bath full of lukewarm water and plopped down in it with Sam in his arms. He'd left his necklace on, knowing Sam liked it. "That good little guy? Yeah?"

He looked up at Bela and sighed. "It's not you, promise. I just... it was always just me and Dad that ever touched Sam. He did this with everyone, if I remember right. We raised him, and Sam's never been one for strangers." Dean didn't mention how he hadn't even talked for a long time after his mother's death.

	All the more reason Bela now felt like an interloper. She nodded, though, accepting the explanation. "Is there anything else I can do? Get you something? I can do that." She felt an irrational rush of hatred and realised it was at the baby - she swallowed hard, trying not to panic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sammy patted at the water. Now this? This was interesting. He tested it again, plunking his hand down. His face got wet! How extraordinary! He giggled and did it again. Sammy liked this. Alot. Dean was a genius. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doubleup 2008-06-04 03:40 am UTC (link)
	Dean laughed at how cute Sammy was being, reaching out to wash himself up with one hand. He looked over at Bela. "You don't... you don't have to stay. Dunno. Kinda wanted you around. I miss you, and we were gonna do the thing, but I can't." He gestured at Sam, and then reached out to hand the baby a smallish shampoo bottle to play with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bela sighed, making a concerted effort to calm herself. It's just a child. Sam, no less - it's not my child. And I can't go home right now. "It's fine, in that case ... I didn't want to interrupt you two." She smiled gamely. Getting Sam back to himself was first for the moment. Not her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wnchestrgeekboy 2008-06-04 03:50 am UTC (link)
	Sammy pushed down on the thing Dean had given him. It went down then, up very fast! Whoa! It was also getting away from him. He stretched his arms out and hit the water impatiently. He turned his head to see Dean and smiled. "Eeeeee." he said. "Ayaaamaaaaayyy!" The stranger didn't look happy. He eyed her warily, little mouth puckering up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doubleup 2008-06-04 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Dean looked at her, laughing. "Sammy's happy as long as I'm here, promise." He ran damp fingers over Sam's head, and motioned for Bela to hand him a washcloth. Sam was cracking him up, and he tickled the baby's tummy a bit. "Uh oh, buddy." He made a fart noise, which he was pretty sure was baby for "this is awesome". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He was so good with children. He probably wanted them, and would get upset when she told him why she could never have them. Still, she grit her teeth, handing him a washcloth, watching how careful he was. She'd never had anyone who watched over her the way Dean did Sam. Hell, she'd never watched over anyone the way Dean did Sam. It hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wnchestrgeekboy 2008-06-04 04:05 am UTC (link)
	Sammy wiggled a little bit, still not too good with sitting up. He was trying to beat the heck out of the water and it wasn't easy to do both at the same time. He made the fun sound with his mouth that Dean did sometimes. "Aaaaeeeeemaamaaaa." He babbled, shoving a wet hand out to whack Dean's leg. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doubleup 2008-06-04 04:08 am UTC (link)
	Dean soaked the washcloth in the water and ran it over Sam's back, trying to prop him up with the other hand. He looked at Bela, then back down at Sam. "Kinda looks like someone ran over your puppy, Sugarbutt. Y'okay?" He looked back up at her, a bit nervous. She must not like kids, or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Fine, fine. You have to admit it's one of the stranger things to happen lately." Another lie, and she didn't like it, but it was necessary. Whenever she looked at young children, she saw herself. Her childhood, her father and mother. Lilith. She saw the statistic she'd found. Children who are abused are far more likely to become abusers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sammy splashed again, focused on the water in front of him. He shyly peeked at Bela and gave her a little smile, one little dimple pulling up. It was easy for him to do that beacause Dean was right here and Sammy had everything he needed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Dean grinned at Sam grinning at Bela. He picked up a chubby baby hand and pantomimed Sam waving at Bela. "Hi pretty lady!" Dean said it in an extra squeaky voice, pretending to be Baby Sammy.

"Yeah, it's weird, but hell. No weirder than being in the blitz." He was still glad that he'd been stuck with Bela, though he wished he'd had Sam there too. It stung that he hadn't been able to take care of Sam. In his heart, he knew it was partly his fault Sam was all messed up.

Bela had to chuckle faintly in spite of herself. It was rather sweet, if bizarre. It was all right in this respect - this wasn't a random child, after all - it was Sam. She knew how he would turn out. Not well, but it could be worse.

She unbent slightly. "Hello, Sam." Bela mustered her best smile for the child. To Dean she said, "I'm just glad we lived through the Blitz."

	Sammy peeeked at the new person again and smiled shyly, before ducking his face against Dean's arm. His butt started to slide out and he started to panic because he was going to fall! His elbow went out and hit something soft and squishy... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dean did two things. He reached out to grab onto his brother, because babies tended to freak out when their heads were submerged in water, and he winced and tried not to swear. "Son of a poopy monkey beesting frickin' stupid butt butt butt!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ltldropofpoison 2008-06-05 12:56 am UTC (link)
	It was incredibly hard for Bela not to laugh at that, and she managed for the most part. She bit her lip hard, looking down at him, subconsciously grateful to the child for making her laugh. "Are you nearly clean? Shall I fetch an ice pack?" That she could do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wnchestrgeekboy 2008-06-05 01:07 am UTC (link)
	Sammy laughed once he was uprighted, because the other person was laughing. Dean was very, very silly. Sammy splashed the water. He giggled again and splashed some more. Then he got water in his face. This was so not cool. His lower lip wibbled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Dean shook his head at Bela. "Think puttin' ice on Gene at this point would be adding insult to injury, but thanks. Some stuff you just don't want cold on."

He noticed that Sam had splashed his face, even though he couldn't see the lower lip wibble. He remembered his father telling stories about how Sam hated water in his face, so he picked up the little guy and cradled him to his chest. "Think we're about clean, huh 'ammy." He looked to Bela. "Can you hand me a towel or two?"

	ltldropofpoison 2008-06-05 01:15 am UTC (link)
	Bela nodded, handing him a small one for the child, but she had to rise and leave the room to get a towel for Dean. She couldn't help but ogle a bit as he got out of the water, though. "It doesn't look terribly injured." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sammy nestled into Dean's chest. The steady heartbeat was soothing, under his ear and his wet thumb found it's way into his mouth. He watched with wide-eyed interest at everything that was going on around him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dean wrapped the towel around Sam, cradling him to his chest as he stood up slowly. Dropping babies was bad. He waggled his eyebrows at Bela. "Maybe you can kiss it and make it better once he's back to being huge like a moose." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ltldropofpoison 2008-06-05 01:29 am UTC (link)
	"Whenever that is." Bela's smile was slightly less than it had been. She wanted nothing more than to curl up and sleep next to him, but that wouldn't be possible until all was well. Still, she'd manage. If Dean was, she could. Sort of. Or at least she could defer the enormous amounts of liquor until she left and went home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Dean went to get Sam a onesie out of the stuff that his assistant had brought, as well as a diaper. He'd set up the playpen on his own, and once Sam was all diaper'd and clothed, he set the little guy down in the playpen along with a blanket and a stuffed animal.

He looked at Bela and nodded for her to lay down on the bed. He crawled under the covers himself, making subtle grabbyhands for her.

	Bela sighed, obeying, and burrowing next to him. That could have gone worse, amazingly. She hoped it didn't get any worse now. (Reply to this) (Parent)
