A weak huff of amusement escapes her at his joke and she shrugs. "Pretty sure I'm the only chick who does a lot of the things I do, so what's one more thing?" she jokes back, finally reaching for the whiskey bottle to take a drink with him once he's knocked back a swig of his own. Why not? She might as well. She'll metabolize it in a few minutes, anyway.
Kara leans back a little against the seat and looks over at him with sincere interest. One thing Dean and Kara don't do: talk about their dead parents. They just don't do it. Sometimes they talk about Kara's adoptive parents or the planet she came from. Sometimes Dean talks about when he was a kid or a teenager, but they don't bring up their parents. She'd always known why she hadn't. Now she knows why he hadn't. The fact that his mother's not mentioned at all suggests to Kara that she's dead and his father worked; probably hunted. It makes her wonder briefly and absently whether that's why Dean does this in the first place.
By the time he finishes his schpiel and Kara hands him back the bottle of whiskey, a small, endeared sort of smile is on her face. What? The idea of him changing Sam's diapers reminds her of when Krypton was still alive and well and she would babysit Clark for his parents; she changed her fair share of diapers, too. "Do you want the kid to know that you're their dad? Or do you want to be the cool uncle or, whatever, Mommy's friend?" she asks, mostly to clarify that she's understanding what he's saying. She's clear on the fact that he wants a part in the child's life and Kara's fine with that and has said as much. She wants to make sure she's understanding if he wants the kid to call him Daddy and whether they then need to figure out how to explain their connection or lack thereof to a child someday who will be surrounded by people whose parents love each other in a way very different to that of the relationship she and Dean share.
