The exam the next day took over half an hour. After Simone did the very personal, very…invasive exam, she had explained things that would happen, going over eating habits and exercise, as well as answering any of their questions. By the time they left, Sam was laden down with pamphlets, vitamins, an exercise schedule to adhere to outside of hunting, and a two week appointment granted they, or Simone wasn't out hunting.

"Hungry?" Dean asked as they climbed into the impala.

Sam nodded. Frankly, he was starving. Having had thrown up his breakfast from that morning, made him feel like he hadn't eaten at all. Dean nodded and they went to a diner close by Bobby's. Dean had ordered a Rib-eye which came with mashed potatoes and a salad. Sam went all in for a steak, medium rare and he ordered rice and salad on the side. Once their food and drinks came, Dean spoke.

"So you ready for this Sammy? To be a parent?"

Sam nodded, "Not the way I expected but yeah. I can't not keep this baby Dean, no matter what happened between me and the baby's father. I can't put that kind of blame on the child."

"Well, all jokes aside, you know I'm there for you. Always have been and always will."

Sam smiled, "Thanks Dean."

The rest of their lunch was spent in silence and by the time they made it back to Bobby's Sam was knocked out in the passenger seat.

"Sam, hey, come on kiddo, you know I can't carry you anymore."

Sam moaned and opened his eyes. He took Dean's hand as he helped Sam out the front seat. Sam smiled and thanked his brother as they headed into the house before making his way upstairs to lie down and take a nap.

Gabe took his spot in the corner of Sam's room watching the boy as he slept. He looked better than he had the last couple of days, but he could still see the hurt that he left. He sighed softly to himself. He wasn't sure how he was supposed to fix this and make Sam see that he really did love the Winchester. When he told Sam that story about his wife and child…he hadn't done it to make Sam feel sorry for him. He wanted Sam to understand that he hadn't wanted secrets to get in the way. To let him know that no matter what, he was faithful. Always had been.

"And I know that it's not just me," Gabe spoke softly. "Something in your past made you this way. Made you fear and not trust my love. But I promise you Sam, I will never stop loving you."

"It might do some good to tell him to his face," Bobby spoke entering the room and closing the door behind him.

Gabe's eyes widened. He hadn't noticed he was no longer invisible. He looked at the older hunter, "I'd love to if he would listen to me."

Bobby snorted, "I kinda figured that the father of Sam's baby was someone he didn't want Dean to go after."

"It was an accident. Honestly."

"Boy, I don't give a rat's ass. What I care about is that boy right there. You hurt him and we gotta deal with the fall out."

"He won't listen to me!"

"Then you gotta make him listen. You know Winchesters can be stubborn," Bobby said before leaving the room softly closing the door behind him.

"Gabe?" Sam blinked, sitting up. "I thought I heard voices. What are you doing here?"

Gabe bit his lip, "Can we talk? Somewhere where we don't have to worry about your brother or Singer listening in?"

Sam cocked his head but nodded, "I'll meet you out back in about ten minutes. I kinda have to…" he gestured before getting off the bed and dashed to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, Sam headed out back, telling Bobby and Dean, he needed to take a walk. He spotted Gabe and walked over towards him.

"You want to talk, so talk."

Gabe gestured for Sam to get in the car which he did, "Just hear me out okay?"

Sam nodded.

"I know you're mad and I know you probably could care less of what I have to say right now, but I need you to understand. Sam, I love you. From the moment we met I was in love with you. I didn't realize it at first, but that's what it was. I wasn't telling you that story to hurt you or to make you feel bad for me. That wasn't why I told you that story. I told you that story because I wanted no secrets between us. Sam I was scared. I hadn't felt that in a long time. I was scared for you and our baby."

"I don't understand."

Gabe reached out and gently caressed his cheek, "I wasn't just scared that you'd lose the baby, Sam, I was scared that you'd lose your life. For good."

"I thought it was…because the baby was a Nephi. Didn't…God destroy all the Nephilim?"

Gabe nodded, "At one time in history when angels came to earth, many of them fell in love with mortals therefore creating a race of Nephilim. They wreaked havoc on the Earth so my father had them destroyed. This was many many years before I came to Earth. The problem was that no one taught the Nephilim how to use their abilities to help and benefit mankind. One Nephi, who is taught at an early stage to control their powers, won't, I don't think, result in destruction like that of many years past."

Gabe swallowed before speaking again, "I need you to understand I care Sam, but I know it's your past that has clouded a lot of things for you. And I can tell you want to believe me and you want to trust me, but it's hard. So I'm giving you your time."

Sam blinked. He ducked his head, swallowing hard and when he lifted his head again, Gabe was gone. Sam wrapped an arm protectively around his middle as he walked back up to Bobby's. He had a lot to think about.

TBC...

So what do you think Sam is going to do?

What do you think happened in Sam's past?
