Chapter Eleven

Meg was glad when the restrictions were lifted and Sam had free reign again. He was a pain in the ass enough without them but it just got depressing having to listen to him tell himself the reasons he shouldn't call his brother despite the fact that he wanted his younger brother to call him. He was busy probably doing what she told him not to which came to mean he was gulping down that gallon of sweet tea that he had had a craving for all morning. Since she wasn't in the house anymore though having reminded him of her little mission of going undercover, he was most likely doing whatever he wanted to do.

Spotting the angel and the elder Winchester wasn't hard. They were kind of obvious around there but he wasn't going to let them know that . She'd let the Winchester keep his pride for a few moments longer. She slid into the seat across from them and watched their mixed reactions. Cas instantly knew she was a demon and glared luminously at her whilst Dean seemed to look confused at first before finding out what Cas was glaring for and then he settled for joining in that.

"What big boys, you don't recognize me for who I truly am? I'm starting to see why Sam is the smart one now-"

"Meg? What the hell are you doing here knowing I could kill you at any time?" She smirked seeing that he was still hesitating and moved the sunglasses to the top of her head. She couldn't imagine them being in a park with all those kids there and having a picnic so she looked around until her eyes fell on what looked like a drug deal gone wrong. She rolled her eyes at the thought of Ruby actually being followed by this duo that weren't exactly hidden from public view. Maybe that was the idea because they knew that she wouldn't think that they were watching her if they were here sulking.

"I could say the same thing about you boys. I mean following Ruby is one thing but she ain't stupid. And if anything she is talking to Thor about something evidentially about something relevant like, I don't know, the prophecy that they believe so much in."

Cas looked at her in question and even Dean stopped what he was doing to watch her warily. Meg smirked, stopping when her phone shrilled loudly. She quickly answered it, swearing when she realized who it was. Sam had to go and down the whole thing when she told him not to and now she was going to have to suffer through his complaints and whining.

"You'll have to excuse me, someone I view as a sibling is having a baby and they didn't exactly listen to me exactly when I said not to chug a full carton of sweet tea."

Dean looked like he wanted to say something to that but Meg ignored him for the time being and snapped the phone open to answer with a hey. Dean and Cas watched her carefully so she made sure she was a safe distance away from their ears.

"Didn't I tell you that a carton was a little too much even if you were trying to win something by downing the whole thing in thirty minutes? Or was it longer? Maybe a little less? Doesn't matter, I tell you something like this because I know the outcome Sammy boy not because I'm being a mean evil bitch and saying that you can't have it. You do realize that right?"

"My stomach hurts," came the expected wail.

She rolled her eyes and heard the mistakable sound of vomiting. She wondered if all pregnancies made them that dramatic but then again he was always a little on the dramatic side. He actually ate healthy before he got knocked up which was why Dr. Rosen even considered taking him on as a patient in the first place. If he had been obese and out of shape, she knew he wouldn't have bothered. Plus Sam really cared about this baby.

"Well that's what you get for guzzling all that tea, sweetened or not," she said triumphantly. "Means you will listen to me in the future right?"

Sam groaned and Meg laughed at the thought of him thinking of covering his ears and wondering if he could muster up enough energy to do just that. She was sure that it was a girl because a boy wouldn't cause this much trouble but then again, there was nothing more troublesome than the Winchester boys.

"I think I should call the doctor just to be on the safe side, is the doctor's number still on the fridge?"

Meg seriously wondered how these boys survived all these years. Even their dad had to have had some dumb as a rock moments but she truly wondered if it was because of the pregnancy that he was more spaced out lately or the complications that were coming with it. She wasn't going to pretend that she wasn't worried when she knew what was going to happen the farthest along he got. She wished he would become smart and see the angel because for all they knew, he could die after the birth of this extraordinary baby and then what would happen then? He couldn't protect the baby and Cas probably wouldn't want something to remind him of why Sam wasn't with them.

"It's on the fridge. Call and ask him. Get the advice and call me back, okay? I'm sure you're just as important as any mission."

She snapped the phone closed and went back to the table with a sweet smile on her face. If she knew better she would say that their determination to catch Ruby in the act was stupid. She wouldn't do that with them nearby unless she was really stupid and until the point that Sam stopped guzzling the blood, he was sold as well.

"So your friend has baby problems?" Dean asked and Meg sighed. Why did they have to be so nosy? But then again she wanted them to be this time around so that she could leave the clues that she wanted them to find. Sam was already in his twenty fifth week and every other day it seemed the bigger he got, the more blood he was losing through the abilities the baby would use to help him out.

"Yeah, you could say that. He's very stubborn so what could you do."

Dean raised an eyebrow at that.

"He? Well he's gotta have the best support he could get and I don't think you're doing him a favor by being at his beck and call."

"It's a difficult pregnancy and he needs blood transfusions every time he goes for a routine checkup so I think my spoiling him is the least I could do. Besides it's not really his fault he fell in love with a dick that he doesn't know loves him back."

Dean snorted.

"Yeah well tell him to get over it and tell the guy how he feels. If he waits then the guy won't forgive him when he finds out and then you would be stuck with a bunch more complications then, 'oh yeah, last time we fucked you knocked me up and I still think there is no possibility of your liking me so I kept it a secret.' That is going to cause a down spiral on everything and it looks like he is already having issues with the baby. I wouldn't deal with a difficult pregnancy but if he thinks he could outweigh the outcome then more power to him."

Meg smirked.

"Well it's more complicated than that you see. I really think he should reconsider an early C-section since we all know how complicated it could become-"

Dean nodded.

"Tell your friend I will be willing to have a grown talk with him and that I have a younger brother so we could talk about-Meg you aren't dropping clues or something are you? I mean my brother had freaking sex with an angel and all of a sudden I hear that you are friends with someone that is having a difficult pregnancy-"

"Why would I clue you into anything?" She asked. "I'm a family friend anyways and the parents had always wanted a girl. Guess they were tired of all the boys in their lives."

Dean rolled his eyes at the thought of Meg actually saying something like that but Cas had been silent the whole time and offered up nothing to the conversation so far. He was watching Ruby enthusiastically and Meg could only wonder why. It became apparent though when she turned around and Meg quickly swore. Thor was with her and it looked like he had a tight hold on her elbow. She hated Ruby even more now and could only hope that there were no more demons hanging around the day that Sam exorcised the three.

The phone rang once again and Meg quickly answered it, ignoring Ruby for the time being and watched as Cas ever so slightly watched her from the corner of his eyes.

"Doctor said to see him? Well you are throwing up and you are twenty five weeks today. No I am not going to go with you right now, I'm busy asking stupid questions to save your miserable ass." She didn't look annoyed though and that was something that Dean would ever think he would see. She seemed fond of the person and he honestly wondered who she was talking to now. The one that could do that had to have been a Godsend. "Yeah, I'll be there for your appointment in a month in a half when you become eight months. Your six and no I'm going to be undercover for that. Because I said so now stop being annoying and go check it out at the doctor's. I doubt Dr. Rosen would be happy if you showed up late and he had to reschedule you since he would like to see you as soon as he can. Then go, I'm not stopping you. Fine, I'll see you when I see you big boy."

She hung up but before she closed it, Dean saw the name S. Winston and wondered who that could be. He didn't exactly get along with Meg so she could have a bunch of friends for all he knew. Cas eyed her as though he could see right through her and Meg mentally shivered hoping that the baby didn't get his piercing calculating blue eyes. It would be bad enough with the puppy eyed look that the baby was obviously already going to have. It was inevitable and he doubt anyone would argue that the denial would be a moot point.

"I have to go boys, I'll see you later-"

"Wait you can't just come and go without giving us something. You wanted to see us and you chose what you said for some specific reason. What the hell is it and why? Why would you help us when you could burn us like you've done a million of times before? I'm not buying it and neither is Cas for that chance either. Tell me where Sam is if you know. Please you have got to know something."

"Who says I know anything about Sam?" Meg said with irritation in her voice now. Cas didn't change his expression and Meg had a feeling she'd have to watch for him in the future. Sure the baby and Sam wouldn't exactly want her dead anymore but that didn't mean that these two would reconsider just because she had been looking out for one of their own. "I'm going to see what Thor is doing here exactly and being a demon means I could get away with a lot of things-"

"Have fun but I seem to think that like Ruby, you are doing something that you might not like," Dean quickly let her know.

"Really?" Meg seemed to think that maybe the elder brother wasn't as stupid as she first thought. Maybe that was why so many others had underestimated them before in the past. Hell even she did and it ended in her getting exorcised in the past as well. It wasn't going to happen again though and she was pretty sure that whatever she was doing wasn't as horrible as the alternative. "What makes you think I'm regretting something?"

"You have done nothing but mentioned people for the last half hour like you really want us to go there. What are you trying to get us to find out? You think that us finding this out would help you in anything? I'm sorry but you're a demon and we could never know if this is a trap or not."

"Well it looks like you will just have to see, now would ya?" She asked him cryptically before running off in the direction of Ruby. She had to find out what they knew before she could determine how safe Sam was. She wasn't going to let harm's way come to him though and for that, she regretted not giving them anymore to go on.

She really wanted them to know the whole situation though. It wasn't like she meant for them to take it as a trap, even when she dropped hints on Sam's whereabouts several times.

She would just have to hope they got what she was trying to say without actually saying it.


"Cas we don't have time for this," Uriel told him angrily.

Cas shrugged but followed him another millimeter wondering why the hell the angel had called him in the first place. He must have been going crazy with worry over Sam and the other angel must have picked up on it since he snorted and looked disgusted by it.

"You do realize that we have more things to worry about. There's an angel in Lakeview Illinois. We found three demons exorcised the way an angel would have done it and I think it trumps over your search for the pathetic human any day. Do you realize what this could mean?"

"Another angel with a God complex vendetta?" Cas asked emotionlessly. "I don't honestly care about that Uriel. I didn't want to come to care either but you know how things like that go."

"I don't actually and the fact that you are annoying me with such banter isn't wise. Don't you realize you are getting really close to the mud monkeys and it will destroy you in the end? You could join my front though Cas, what do you say? I know you really want to find the Winchester but we have to find the prophesied baby soon before it is lost forever. We have had the occasional hybrid baby but none of them has ever turned out to be anything and you know that. What makes you think a righteous Winchester is going to make a difference? We need them and we also need Lucifer around-"

"What? I think Lucifer should stay in the box-"

Uriel smirked and mustered up a big oops before Cas found himself flying backwards into a heap. He quickly backed away, staring at the angel sword in his hand if that gave off any indication of what his intentions were. He smirked realizing what Cas could only see as betrayal.

"You don't care about what we're trying to do Castiel? You used to care about the orders-"

"They aren't coming from God anymore brother," Cas quickly argued.

"Moot point. Lucifer was right Castiel. What did these humans ever do to get their father's blessings and love? We are the ones he made first and he holds them above us! We the angels that have been nothing but loyal to him."

"Why the hell would you want a hybrid to bring along Lucifer?" Cas questioned confusedly. He didn't understand what the baby's purpose was but he was sure it was nothing evil.

"Powerful baby with more powers in its little pinky than in our whole bodies. I know that you don't think so Castiel but this baby is a force to be reckoned with and will be rightfully sacrificed for the forthcoming of Lucifer. I don't know what more I could tell you and now I think it's time to say goodbye. You'll never join my cause but you also can't go around telling everybody what my plans are."

Cas saw the angel blade that sliced into Uriel before the angel could even turn around. Anna stepped away and helped Cas to his feet but he could only think of one thing. Why the hell would Uriel do something like this and if he was wanting that to happen, that meant that the baby was going to be in danger if they were ever born. He closed his eyes hoping that would never come to pass and paused, seeing that Anna was still there.

"Are you okay Cas? I know that you don't like this anymore than I do but we can't let him go around trying to kill small kids and infants just in the name of the devil."

Cas nodded.

"I understand. I really do. I just realized that any baby that would be in the middle of that would have a cursed life and would never rest as long as both angels and demons want it."

"I'm sure if you were its dad Cas, you'd do one hell of a great job. Even if it's only trying," she added and Cas saw the smile for what it was worth.

"Thanks Anna."

She truly was too kind sometimes. And it was times like this that reminded him of how he longed for Sam the most. Anna seemed to understand that as well for she continued with a small grin.

"you'll find him. I know you and when you do you'll love him. I know that as well."

"You become psychic now as well?"

Anna just went on smiling. Whatever it was, she wasn't going to tell and Cas wasn't going to ask.


Sam quickly hid from view of the demons, keeping himself pressed against the wall as far as he could without being seen. He hated the fact that his stomach was sticking out more than usual but he was twenty eight weeks and the baby was still growing. To his surprise it was Ruby and she was surrounded by a couple of them who seemed more than ready to kill her.

He simply turned the other way to avoid the confrontation it would cause if they were to see him. He entered the small department store and called Meg, hoping that she got the message that he was stuck in the building until they decided to disperse but she wasn't answering her phone. So much for the undercover thing, he thought with a slight sigh. The doctor wanted to take a scalpel and cut the baby out of him right now saying there was very little risk but Sam knew that he had to bring the baby to full term if he wanted the baby the full one hundred percent chance of ever surviving. His body would tell him when he was ready for the kid to come along so he avoided the subject as much as possible. Dr. Rosen was turning out to be a really weird dude. Last month he didn't but things changed he supposed and he would have to hope that if he turned to another doctor that he wouldn't go through with his threat.

The phone rang and he answered it, happy that it was Meg.

"You can't stay out of danger for even a minute, can you?" She sounded more amused than angry so he disregarded what was said.

"I don't know, I am not in danger yet."

"We need to leave there. Too many demons and angels are there meaning that they will eventually find out that you are carrying that special baby," she told him hurriedly.

"What do they want my baby for anyways?" Sam asked her and was surprised with the silence that greeted him. "Meg? Come on I'm not going to be mad. I just want to know how they could possibly think that they could justify wanting to take a baby-"

"Sam you are familiar with Lucifer right?"

Sam nodded and quickly replied with a, "Yes," when he realized that she wouldn't be able to see him. She wasn't that great of a mind reader even though she seemed to know things before he said them.

"They want him topside Sam. Demons and even some angels," she added and Sam found himself stopping in shock.

They wanted his baby for the devil? He couldn't believe they would want to take anything so innocent just to retrieve someone so evil that they had to be in a cage. He shuddered and could hear Meg's concerned voice through the phone. He couldn't say he was happy that his baby was a target but he was happy that she told him the truth. He would rather know than find out from other sources or means.

"Thanks Meg," he choked finding that once again, he probably wasn't processing the information like he should. "I really needed..uh….that."

"Sam breathe for goodness sake! Take your shirt and put it over your nose and mouth if you have to but you have to breathe!"

Sam even though he felt himself going dizzy and could have fainted if he wasn't caught at the last moment. He looked up in shock and Meg was screaming in his ear as he tried to process that information. What the hell was he-

"I'm sure he's going to be fine. Just a surprisingly close reunion and you know how the saying goes right? What doesn't break you makes you stronger. Your apartment would be the place to meet so make sure we meet there in the next five minutes, alright."

He put the phone in Sam's pocket after ending the call and Sam let him, still spluttering on the idea of HIM helping them. He looked at him in shocked silence for a few more moments before trying to muster up the words.

"Well you are sure a man of less words these days. Was it because you let Cas knock you up or is this a new way of saying screw you for making you watch Dean die?"

"Why," Sam finally asked. "Why are you, the trickster, helping someone like me?"

The trickster only smiled and with a snap of his fingers, Sam found himself back at the apartment with the said trickster looking slightly amused. Sam fell back on the couch and could only look at him in silent awe. After a moment the trickster sighed.

"Let's just say that I hate choosing sides and yours at least seems to have an in between. That and Cas loves you so why not. It would make my day teasing Cassy."

"Why," Sam wheezed and the trickster sighed before pulling him forward so he would breath more steadily.

"Because I can."

And that was the only answer he was going to get.
