sorry, my family just moved again and I haven't had time to update. Thus this chapter isn't quite finished but I'll fix it up more next week. I wanted to get something out to you all. Thank you for sticking with me and all the support and reviews it really make my day hearing from you all.


Gabriel was sweaty, covered in blood and gunk that he really didn't want to be covered in, tired beyond belief, and sore all over. Everything had gone great until after the baby was born. Well, after the first baby was born. Then Gabriel found out in a very painful turn of events that they had more than one little angel on the way. He had managed though and they both sounded alright if their cries were anything to go by. Sam had gotten back from writing to their brothers just in time to hear just how much Gabriel hated the entire planet and was going to smite it as soon as he could.

Now the archangel had calmed and was begging Sam to get their babies from the nurse wanting to see them already. He had gone through all that pain the least they could do is give him his children. "Sorry, we just wanted to give them a check over and make sure they were okay since they were premature. Here you are. Your little girls." One of them said and handed one of the newborns that were now wrapped in soft blankets to Gabriel while a different nurse handed over her twin to Sam who was smiling more than Gabriel had thought possible. Still his attention was immediately focused on the tiny being in front of him. She was perfect, at least in Gabriel's eyes. She had a full head of little light brown curls and Gabriel could see tiny white fluffs on her back that would grow to be wings. He counted four of them and smiled proudly at his princess. She looked up at him and reached a hand out from under the white fur blanket reaching for some of the hair falling in Gabriel's face and whined when she couldn't reach it. He smiled. "She has your hair, my eyes, and oh gods she's so tiny and wonderful. How's her sister... and also, I told you so..." Gabriel chuckled.

Sam had nearly not wanted to take the newborn thinking he might brake her! She was too tiny and fragile looking. The nurse put her in his arms before he could protest though, and he was lost. She was so beautiful. "She has a little bit of hair, golden silk like yours, and her eyes are hazel like mine but with little bits of gold. She has four little gold wings... I can't believe we made them..." He muttered softly as his daughter yawned and started to fall asleep in his arms.

Gabriel nodded at Sam's words. "I'll name this one, you name that one." He said and thought for a moment looking at the daughter he held and thinking of a name while Sam did the same. Sam was glad they waited to come up with them since the one he had before didn't seem to really fit.

"Alexandria Raychel Winchester... Sound good?" Sam asked and Gabriel nodded his agreement thinking it sounded beautiful.

"She'll be Jadelyn Marie Winchester. My mother's name was Jadelyn" He said and kissed Jadelyn's forehead. "We need to get ready to go. Our brothers need us. This may mean war." He added with a sigh knowing that despite how he wished they could just bask in their new daughters' births they had things they had to attend to.

Sam sighed as well and nodded holding Alex protectively in his arms. "You're right. My visions still aren't very controlled but I don't think we have a choice but to come back and announce everything to the kingdom. I can't let Dean go through this alone, and truly, I need him too. We'll have to wait to celebrate properly." He said his expression falling. He knew he'd miss valuable bonding time with his daughters but what could he do? He couldn't just let his brother suffer without him.

Dean sighed once the guards confirmed they caught his father's murderer. He tried to make Cas stay back but the look of horror Castiel gave him silenced that and they both went down to the dungeon to take care of the prisoner. "His name is Azazel. He's a demon form Lucifer's court." Castiel muttered recognizing the man who was sitting calmly in his cell. He didn't look worried about the death that was sure to follow.

"I'm not worried Castiel. I served my purpose and my life will not be in vain. To my people I will have honor and my name will live on." He said reading Castiel's thoughts and smiling at him widely which looked terrifying with his off-yellow eyes. Dean moved in front of Castiel protectively.

"What purpose did you have for killing my father?" Dean demanded his fist clenching around a sword he wore at his hip. Azazel snorted and rolled his eyes. "It had nothing to do with you, just your brother and his child. They're coming back now right?" He laughed and pulled a hidden dagger out making Dean panic until he took his own life with it and he realized it was so he couldn't give them more information.

"Son of a bitch! Will Michael be here soon? We need to come up with a new plan." Dean cursed leading Castiel from the dark damp place worried he'd get sick.

"Michael will be here within the hour and Sam and Gabriel should arrive around the same time. We'll keep guards with them at all times." Castiel promised and sighed trying not to worry too much. He didn't want to risk ending up like Gabriel and going into labor early. He wasn't as far along and it could end up with him loosing their child.

"Okay. Good. That's good. Are you feeling okay?" Dean asked as they got back to their room and he ordered guards to take Azazel and burn his corpse since he wasn't taking any chances.

"I'm fine Dean. I promise you I'd tell you if I wasn't. But perhaps we should rest before everyone arrives. You look so pale and you're worrying me." Castiel told him. Dean nodded taking a deep breath and let it out laying back and wrapping his arms around Cas.

"It's just so much... I never expected it to happen like this." He admitted softly and closed his eyes listening to Castiel's heartbeat until it calmed him to sleep. When he woke up a servant stood in the room telling Cas that Gabriel and Sam had arrived and were waiting in the next room over for them when they were ready. Dean stood and fixed his tunic replacing the sword that Castiel must have removed once he was asleep and joined his lover.

"Let's go see our brothers and their family." Castiel said smiling trying to bring some happiness into such a dark time. Dean nodded and they walked into the room and saw Gabriel sitting in an arm char with a little baby in his arms cooing to her softly while Sam seemed to arguing with the other trying to get her into some clothes.

"Need some help Sammy?" Dean teased and Sam and Gabriel both jumped a little not having noticed their brothers enter. Sam laughed breathlessly and nodded.

"Yeah, Jade here doesn't like to listen and won't let me get this dress on her. If you could distract her." He said and Dean walked over putting a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"Out smarted by your own daughter already, you're going to have a time raising them." He chuckled then tickled the little girl's belly making her squeal happily and Sam quickly got the dress on before she started to squirm again.

Castiel walked over to Gabriel who was holding Alex and letting her suck on a bottle of milk. "She's the quiet regal one. Takes after Sam more in that way where Jadelyn is more wild like me. Would you like to hold her?" Gabriel asked and a Castiel nodded smiling as his brother transferred the infant into his arms helping him support her so she could continue to eat.

"They are both beautiful Gabriel. I'm happy for you and Sam. We'll have to have a ball in their honor once this is over." Cas said gently as he rocked Alex and watched Dean play with the now clothed Jade. Both girls were in matching dresses but Jadelyn's was green and Alexandria's was red.

Gabriel sighed once Castiel returned Alex to his arms and nodded. "So what are we going to do? Sam and I already discussed that I'm staying with the twins at all times and he'll take care of business but we can't live our lives like this forever and Lucifer won't ever just stop." He admitted. Dean let Sam take Jadelyn and they walked over to their lovers.

"We're waiting for Michael but we decided we're still keeping you and Gabriel a secret. You both are the target so it's best to keep you out of public affairs. Cas and I will have our wedding this weekend and be crowned the day after that. Dad's funeral is tomorrow." Dean told them and Sam looked at Gabriel wanting to stay for his father's funeral but not wanting to risk keeping him and the twins there if they really were Lucifer's target.

"I'll take the twins and head back tonight, you can follow after the funeral tomorrow. I know how much it'll mean to you Sam." Gabriel decided as Michael entered the room and sighed relieved to see both of his brothers safe and alive.

"Okay... I guess... I really don't want us to be separated Gabriel. I think I should just stay with you... My father is dead and that's not going to change but you and our daughters need to be protected." Sam said shaking his head not wanting to have Gabriel or the girls at risk.

Michael smiled at his nieces and nodded. "Sam is right. There'll be a time for him to grieve later, you need to be protected. Killing John was a strategic move to lure you out of hiding, we shouldn't have you here any longer then possible." He told Gabriel who nodded.

Castiel hugged Gabriel tightly. "Be safe brother... Sometimes the hard decisions are worth it in the end though. We don't know who we can trust now." He said and Gabriel closed his eyes hugging Cas back the best her could while holding Alex then stood.

"Sam and I should get a move on then. You stay safe too brother. Take care of Dean and don't let him ruin the kingdom too much before Sam and I can be here to fix things." He teased weakly tears in his eyes as he turned away knowing what Castiel wanted him to do. They had planned something between just the two of them just in case things got too bad. He just wasn't sure he could go through with it.

Sam hugged Dean and sighed. "Be good to Cas jerk. And make sure my niece or nephew get a good education." He said and Dean forced a smile.

"You too bitch. Keep the little princesses safe." Dean said watching their brothers leave again. It hurt but he knew it could be worse if they stayed.
