Sam found himself, once again, head down in the toilet as yesterdays dinner decided to make a reappearance. He shuddered with pain, feeling his stomach cramp horrendously as he tried straightening his back from it's hunched position. The stench of his own sick made his sensitive belly revolt and he lurched forward with another round of watery puke.

A cool hand on the back of his warm neck helped Sam calm down as he tried regaining his breath. Gabriel's specific cinnamony scent washed over him as the older male pulled him close and rubbed his chest.

"Think you're coming down with a bug?" Gabriel asked softly, his free hand moving down to feel Sam's stomach and massaging the tense muscle.

Sam whined in relief as he felt it uncurl and the urge to get sick went away. He swore Gabriel had to have magic fingers or something.

"No...Must've been something I ate," The younger male denied, leaning his head back so it rested on Gabriel's shoulder. The blonde chuckled worriedly, wiping at Sam's sweaty bangs.

"S'what you said yesterday, kiddo."

"Nah uh..."

"Yeah huh."

Gabriel helped heave Sam up which was a miracle of its own, given the big height difference. Sam sighed as nice, cool covers were put over him and a tender kiss on his temple.

"I think I should call Cas," Gabriel's voice rumbled in Sam's ear.

"No...he's probably busy saving lives," Sam huffed.

Castiel, or Cas for short, was Gabriel's younger brother. He was a weird guy but with a big heart. Cas was also the youngest Doctor in California and was gonna move forward to being a surgeon but fell in love with the Pediatric ward. So, Cas went back to learn what he could about caring for children and became the best Pediatrician anyone's ever known. Sam would hate to bother him with a little stomach bug that would go away on its own.

"Come on, Sammy. Just let him give you a look over, a checkup. For me?"

Sam pouted as Gabriel used his own version of puppy eyes, Sam had deemed kitten eyes since Gabriel was more like a cat than a mutt. The blonde smirked as he realized he won this round and pecked Sam's lips, hurrying off to make a call.

Sam curled up on the bed, eyes falling shut seconds later despite his best efforts to stay awake. A soft hand on his forehead woke Sam and familiar blue eyes gazed at him with concern. It only took a second later for Sam to realize Gabriel wasn't in the room but from the sounds from the kitchen, he found his lover quiet easily.

"Hey Cas," Sam smiled, sitting up.

"Hello Sam," Cas stated, looking through his bag. "It seems you are not well?"

"That's what you're supposed to tell me, doc."

"Sometimes, the patients know more than the doctors," Cas smiled and took his temperature, humming at the 99.3 staring back at him. "Low-grade fever, probably just from all the vomiting. Let me check your ears."

Sam let Castiel look around his inner ear and wrinkled his nose as Cas sighed, not finding an issue. He stared at Sam, wondering what could cause the young man to puke every morning for 3 weeks.

"Sam," Cas asked suddenly. "Does your stomach hurt on any specific side?"

"Uh, no," Sam responded, looking a little confused. "Cramps come and go as they please but they don't stay on a specific side."

"Alright. May I ask you some personal questions?"

"Sure."

"When was the last time you had gone through coitus?" Castiel asked with a serious expression.

Sam sputtered in surprise, cheeks flushing a pretty delicate pink.
"Uh..."

"It is very important that you tell me, Sam."

"Two, three weeks ago we had, uh, penetration sex," Sam admitted. "We haven't done anything lately because of my stomach problem."

Castiel studied Sam curiously before rummaging through his bag again, pulling out three different items, all covered in plastic wrapping.

"Have you had any mood swings, felt any cravings, headaches?"

"I've been craving pickles," Sam shrugged. At Castiel's look, Sam elaborated, "I hate pickles."

"Sam..." Cas started, looking for a way to phrase this. "Sam, do you think you could take these tests for me?"

Sam took the tests, eyes widening in shock, "Pregnancy tests? You want me to take a pregnancy test? That...That isn't possible, I can't be pregnant!"

"It is entirely possible, given the time you engaged in coitus to now with morning sickness, body cramps, and mood swings; all which are clear signs of pregnancy."

Sam felt sick to his stomach again but Castiel guided him to the bathroom and patted his shoulder.

"Whatever happens, I will support you!"

Sam nodded hesitantly, walking into the bathroom and locking the door.

"No way," He mumbled to himself. "I can't be pregnant..."

Sam read the directions carefully, peeing on all three sticks and laying them on the counter as he tried to ignore the little voice telling him you're pregnant!

The timer went off and Sam took a breath, peeking at one of the tests. His breath caught in his throat, disbelief rippling through him. Sam stared at the pregnancy test, finding it hard to swallow as he looked down at the white plus sign. With a look at the other two, Sam tensed as they were all positive.

"No...nonononono," Sam rubbed his face, hands touching his belly soothingly. He gathered the tests and pushed the door open, intent to ask Castiel for help when he realized Gabriel was back in the room.

"Sammich!" Gabe grinned softly. "You feeling better?"

"I'm pregnant," Sam blurted out, never able to hide anything from his lover.

Gabriel and Castiel stared at him with wide eyes, trying to comprehend what he just said though Cas looked more knowing than surprised.

Sam glanced at the tests in his hands and back up at the two brothers, "The test...was positive...all three of them..."

"You're pregnant?" Gabe whispered, coming closer. He pressed his hand against Sam's stomach and looked up at his lover. "You're gonna have our baby?"

"Until Sam gets a proper ultrasound, we can assume that yes. He is pregnant. Congratulations," Castiel said warmly, putting his stuff away.

Gabriel's shocked looked morphed into a wide smile, "We're probably gonna be parents."

Sam was surprised he was taking it so well and found himself smiling as well, "Yeah...we are!"

Gabriel tugged Sam down into a kiss, both of them smiling into it and creating an awkward position but neither cared. This was the start of a new chapter in their lives and Sam realized he couldn't wait.

It was a couple days later when they were able to book an appointment for an ultrasound (Sam suspected Cas had something to do with it). Sam and Gabriel were nervous that maybe Sam wasn't pregnant at all but Castiel assured them that all three tests were most accurate on the market.

Gabriel kissed Sam's knuckles, drawing the younger man out of his thoughts. He smiled kindly at him and waited patiently for their doctor to begin the ultrasound. They were in for a surprise when Jessica Moore, an old college buddy of Sam's, walked in with a beam.

"Little birdy told me you might be pregnant!" Jess giggled, hugging Sam tightly.

After getting over his initial shock of seeing her again, he hugged her back with a beam, "Yeah. Fingers crossed though."

She nodded and shook hands with Gabriel before having Sam lay down, shirtless. She smeared some cold gel on his tummy and rubbed the wand into the goo. Seconds later, an image appeared on the screen as Jess started looking for the baby. Nothing showed up at first, discouraging the two potential parents.

"There's the little nugget," Jess snorted, pointing at a small dot on the screen.

"That's our baby?" Sam asked in awe, looking at the small dot and feeling uncontrollable love for it grow.

"Yep! He was playing hide an seek."

Gabriel kissed Sam's temple, eyes never straying from the image. Unfortunately, they had to stop the ultrasound, though Jess printed off a picture for them.

"M'proud of you guys. You'll make awesome parents!" The blonde woman said fondly, waving them out.

After that, the two lovers started reading up on everything they could on taking care of a child. Gabriel also seemed to grow a fascination with Sam's tummy, often talking to the being growing inside there. The older male started making Sam take all of his medicine and vitamins, never letting Sam forget or skip a day. He made sure the younger male ate the right foods and take care of him when Sam was feeling back.

Once morning sickness passed, Gabriel took care of the cravings Sam got almost right after. Even the disgusting combinations like pickles and peanut butter, or Cheetos puffs in a milkshake with chocolate sauce.

Sam was grateful to have Gabe in his life, accommodating him like he did. He tried not to take advantage but Gabriel always responded with I want to do this, so Sam doesn't stop him.

Around month 3, Sam starts showing a baby bump. He misses his lean figure but was happy the baby was growing healthy inside him. Dean, though a little pissed at only just being told about Sam being pregnant, already started playing Black Sabbath amongst other things to his brother's baby.

"They have to have better taste than you, Sammy," Dean snorted with an eye roll which made Sam pout.

Months turned into more months when finally, Sam felt a rather harsh kick which made him yelp loudly.

"Sam?" Gabriel asked worriedly, gripping his bicep as Sam hunched over.

"I'm good," Sam assured him. "I think we're gonna have a soccer star, geezus this baby can kick!"

"They kicked?" Gabriel gaped, pressing his warm hands on Sam's stomach. a few seconds later, a much milder kick came.

"Oh, I see. You already like Daddy more than me, huh?" Sam teased his baby, getting a flutter of kicks following. "They sooooo take after you!"

Gabriel rolled his eyes and pressed a series of kisses against Sam's belly in apology.

Only a couple months later and it seemed the baby was growing stronger and healthier every day. Sam didn't want to know the gender until the baby was born so Gabriel and Dean created a unisex room. The walls were a light mint green with white trim. Gabriel, who was an art major, drew a beautiful mural of angels watching over where the crib would be.

It was funny trying to watch Gabriel and Dean try to put it all together.

Reaching the 9th month, Sam was due any day now. The baby was gonna be born in April, just as Spring starts to really appear.

"That'd be a cute name for a girl," Sam mused, tracing his large belly. "April."

"Here that Bambi?" Gabe said to Sam's belly. "Mommy thinks you're gonna be a girl but Daddy thinks you're gonna be a boy, right?"

Sam snorted, slapping Gabriel's shoulder lightly. Gabriel had started calling Sam, Mommy, during the beginning of his pregnancy and it seemed to have stuck some.

"I like Tucker," Gabriel hummed. "Tucker or Lance."

"Lance? Like from King Arthur?" Sam smiled. Gabriel beamed and kissed his cheek.

"You do love those stories."

"Avalon is another good name for a girl."

"There he goes again! Silly, Mommy," Gabe cooed.

Sam can honestly say he had never been as happy as he was in that moment.

Days continued to go by when finally, while Sam was washing dishes, a large spasm of pain contracted from his lower belly. Sam cried out in surprise, clutching his stomach.

"Fuck," He muttered, grabbing his phone and calling Castiel. "I uh I think I might be having a baby now?"

Stay calm, we will have a room ready for when you arrive. Where is Gabriel?

"Out getting g-groceries," Sam grunted, still winded from his contraction.

Call him and come to the hospital when you can.

"Kay," Sam agreed and hung up, glaring at his stomach. "You couldn't have waited five more minutes? I almost broke Dean's batman mug!"

The baby kicked in response making Sam grunt and mumble under his breath. He called Gabriel who, fortunately, was leaving the grocery store. Twenty minutes later, Gabriel arrived back home, pressing a kiss to Sam's lips than his belly.

"Cas said to come in when I can," Sam said softly, a bit nervous. It was a known fact that male carries, like Sam, had to get C-Sections since they don't have a birth canal like woman do. Sam wasn't looking forward to being cut open but didn't care as long as his baby came through.

"We should head over now so you can relax a little before they do the surgery," Gabe said, scooping Sam up and helping him to the car. Once he sat down, Sam curled over as another contraction hit him. He didn't like how close together they seemed.

Gabriel ran his hand soothingly over Sam's back and drove to the hospital, speeding down the road. When they arrived, Jess was waiting for them and brought Sam to his room, hooking him up to an IV drip and pushed some anesthesia into it to help Sam relax.

"Baby...my baby..."

"We can start now before the contractions get too painful," A deep voice said that was vaguely familiar. Sam saw Gabriel give him a soft smile before he felt himself fall completely under.

When Sam woke up again, he felt tired, sore and empty. His stomach was no longer as round and he realized he no longer had his baby in him. Sam's eyes sought out Gabe and froze, widening in awe.

Gabriel was holding a small bundle in his arms, gently talking to it while he swayed. Sam's heart swelled with love and it grew when Gabriel kissed their little baby's head.

"Look, darlin'. Mommy's awake," Gabe mumbled, noticing Sam staring. He walked over to Sam's side, showing the small pink face with a cute button nose and light freckles on her cheeks. She had a tuff of blonde hair on her head and Sam fell in love immediately.

"Hey sweetheart," Sam cooed to the baby. She reacted to his voice and turned toward him. Sam traced her face with his pointer finger, letting her suck on it. "Did you name her?" He asked Gabe, not looking up.

"Bambi and I decided to wait till you woke up."

Sam smiled, pressing a soft kiss to their little girl's forehead.

"Avalon Mary Novak," Sam hummed. "Welcome to our crazy life, baby girl."

"Eh, we're not so bad, Bambi," Gabriel corrected with a chuckle at Sam's bitchface.

A knock on the door made them look up, Jess peeking in.

"We have a whole bunch of anxious big brothers waiting to see their niece!" She giggled.

Sam looked down at Avalon, grinning when her little eyes peeked open to show expressive green-blue orbs.
"Time to meet your family, Our Little Miracle."
