I will update the other stories soon. Just wanted to get this out of the way or at least started.

Takes place a year and a half after Heart of Everything, replaces the old story Highwaymen Coming Down. Dean and Lisa are expecting their second child and Sam and Abigail get a surprise of their own. No evil sons of bitches or dick angels are going to let another Winchester be brought into the world but Dean and Sam have something to say about that.


"So this shade of green is called what exactly?" Abigail asked as she applied the first swipe.

Lisa's brows creased as she saw the monstrosity of green that Abigail was painting on the nursery wall.

"It's not supposed to look like that," Lisa couldn't help but laugh. "Oh my god it looks like Kermit the Frog puked up in here."

"Yeah, I think it needs to go back." Abigail stepped off the ladder and put the roller down.

"I'll take it back when Ben gets home," she said as she put her hands on her large baby bump. She was huge for 5 months.

"I've got it. I need to get some stuff at the store for dinner tonight anyway. I'm cooking no ifs, ands, or buts about it. "

"You got it." She had forgotten how tiring it was being pregnant. It took most of her time keeping up with Ben. Lisa didn't want him to feel left out. Being an older brother would be hard especially since he had to share a mom but Dean was helping him with his soon to be responsibilities.

Dean and Sam had gone on a hunt a few towns over. Well more like a favor for a friend of theirs. Nothing major, just a haunting but they wouldn't be back for a few days. That's why she was so happy Abby was staying with her. Ever since she got pregnant when Dean had to leave Abigail would fly in to stay and help out. There had already been several attempts to kill Lisa and the baby and Dean wasn't going to let anything happen to his family. Abigail could handle anything especially with the Colt on her side. But Abby knew that Lisa was well protected and didn't feel bad about leaving for a few minutes to run errands. She had taught Lisa how to use the Colt. A quick half hour trip was nothing. Dean had safeguarded the house as well, nothing intending them harm was going to get inside.

Abigail was loading the paint into the car when a gust of wind slammed her down on the sidewalk. Before she could even react there were two demons and something else that she couldn't identify on top of her. She had not seen this coming! She tried to defend herself as best as possible but they held her down and the creature pulled out a large knife. A second later they were bursting into yellow light.

She looked up and saw Gabriel materialize. "Hiya kiddo," he said as he swept her up in his arms and rushed her inside.

Lisa came into the living room with shock and surprise on her face. Gabriel looked Abby over for wounds. No bleeding, just serious bruising and a head injury.

"Hold still," he put his fingers against her temple and with one motion and the bruising was gone.

"What the hell Gabriel?" She managed to sit up but the look on her guardian archangel's face told her to lay back down.

Lisa jumped as Abby's phone vibrated on the coffee table. She saw it was Allan and answered.

"No, she's ok. Demons jumped her but Gabriel got to her." As she was trying to calm Abigail's twin brother down call waiting beeped. It was Sam. "Hold on Allan Sam's on the other line."

"What's wrong? Is she ok. Lisa are you hurt?"

"Calm down Sam. It's ok. She's fine, I'm fine, the baby's fine. Just some demons got the jump on her. Gabriel got her."

"Gabriel?" She couldn't tell if his voice was angry or shocked.

"Look, we are on our way back."

"Ok, we'll be waiting."


He hung up the phone with his sister-in-law. Dean looked over at him with a look of panic and concern on his face. "Dude, what's going on?"

"Demons attacked Abigail. Gabriel showed up. Dean something major is going down."

Dean floored the Impala back to Cicero.


"How have you been feeling lately Abigail," Gabriel asked?

"Fine."

"No dizziness, no mood swings, no nausea?"

"No."

"Well it's early yet, give it time."

"She's not," Lisa spoke with a mixture of smile and shock on her face. "She's pregnant?"

"Give the lady a prize," Gabriel said as he got up and patted Lisa on the shoulder. "Yeppers, our little ass-kicking machine is preggers."

"I'm right here," Abigail said. They were talking like she wasn't in the room.

"That's not possible. I can't have children. I was torn up to badly from the Banshee and then the wreck, not possible."

"Well Sam managed to slip one past the goalie," Gabriel said with a smile. "Come on did you really think that something Heaven mandated wouldn't come to pass? You're going be plopping out the most powerful hunter the world has seen in about 8 months. Don't look so sad. Curses will be broken and the world will have a new savior."

"Yeah, no pressure." She said still not comprehending the fact she was pregnant.

Lisa sat down on the end of the couch. "Sam's on his way back."


They were inside the city limits when Cas appeared in the back.

"Congratulations Sam," he said flatly.

"For what?"

"On fatherhood. We thought Dean would be the only Winchester to carry on the angelic bloodline but it seems that we were pleasantly surprised."

"Excuse me?" His mind was racing with thoughts that didn't make sense to him. Dean however was getting what Castiel was saying and his brother got a big goofy grin.

"Sammy's having a baby," he said loudly with a laugh. He was excited for his brother. Sam getting his own family! 'Bout damn time.

"What, wait, no. She can't have children."

"Sam slipped one past the goalie," Dean said remembering the phrase his brother had used once upon a time when they had found out about Adam.

"Dean, this is serious. Her life could be in danger. She can't have children. She has my demonic blood inside her. That can't be good. What if…"

"She can and she will. A girl in 8 months. But you are right her life is in danger, and it has nothing to do with your bloodoath. There are a host of creatures going to rise up to stop your daughter from being born. That's what the attack today was about."

Sam immediately went into protective mode. "Nothing will harm either of them Castiel."

"You two will have your hands full for the next few months. Dean, with Lisa getting closer to delivery there will more attempts on her and Ben. Sam you'll have more things after Abigail. I will help however I can. Gabriel too."

"Abigail is protected pretty well." Sam said trying to calm the fear rising inside him. How was he going to keep his family safe?

"The child can't grow if the protection she has enjoyed in the past is in place. It will begin to break, has begun to break. The Colt bloodline will have to go dormant in order for the child to survive inside her. She will be completely exposed to anything that wants to take her out. She won't heal, she'll even get sick."

Dean said quietly "We'll protect them Sam, that's what we do." He realized his brother was about one minute away from having a serious breakdown.

All Sam wanted to do right now was take Abby in his arms and not let her go. They would find a way through this. Of course him and Dean protected people, saved people but this was different. The stakes were much higher now. Not only were their supernatural creatures to protect against but what about other hunters, and the million things that could go wrong simply being a human and pregnant? Of course Cas said his blood inside her wasn't anything to worry about but that couldn't be good. And he had grown to love her totally and completely. Winchester women typically didn't survive past two years once a Winchester began to love them. God he was getting a massive headache!
