Hello!

A/N: I try my best to correct those chapters but there is probably some mistakes I miss.

The characters can still be OOC and I am sorry for that.

Thanks for reading.

Fake crime

Chapter 14: Never the same.

They let Sam in after about three hours. The poor man who was laying on the hospital bed hadn't opened his eyes since. They said he was sleeping for now but they could never tell what would happen after. Sam waited with Balthazar a long time before he could even see Gabriel. Sam took a chair and sat next to the bed. He took Gabriel's hand and kissed it gently.

Balthazar left a couple of minutes later and let Sam alone with his boyfriend. Sam felt tears fell from his eyes as he saw all the bandages on Gabriel's neck. He squeezed Gabriel's hand and forced himself to smile.

"They say that maybe you won't wake up but I know you will. I know that you a strong and that you will survive this." Sam said as tears felt from his eyes. "Please, Gabriel… They are waiting for the result for your throat. They put back together everything they could, and when they will have the result they will know what you can and can't do."

"Balthazar was here, you know. He said hi and took your hand. He will be here when you wake up too." Sam continued. "And I gave your phone to Dean and Castiel. They know about the recording. You are a genius Gabriel. They will probably be all save and Crowley and Lucifer will go in prison. You did it Gabriel, you saved us."

"Mr. Winchester?" The doctor asked as he entered the room.

"Yes?" Sam replied.

"I'm oblige to ask you to leave. We need to do more test on him." The doctor said.

"Sure… Alright, tell him if anything happen." Sam said as he left the room after kissing Gabriel's hand again.

He waited another hour before he finally walked to the door to try to listen and he panic. The only thing he could hear was people moving around faster than they probably should be and all they said was: we're losing him. He couldn't believe that. They couldn't no, no, no, no, no… This wasn't happening. He told Balthazar, and the man tried his best to calm Sam down.

Once everything was done and they wasn't any other sound. The door opened and everybody got out. Sam walked to it but they didn't let him enter. Was he dead? Please no… He asked and asked but nobody could answer him. Nobody listened to him and his head was starting to hurt. He almost fell backwards but Balthazar was there to help him. They sat at the chairs again and waiting. They waiting and waiting and waiting again until the same doctor came to Sam with a face Sam didn't want to see.

He didn't even want to hear it. He started crying.

"Can you follow me, Mr. Winchester?" The doctor asked. "And you too Mr. Novak."

"Let him go alone." Balthazar said. "I'll go after."

The doctor nodded and Sam basically ran to Gabriel's room. He waited for his damn doctor and once he opened the door, Sam saw Gabriel plugged to all the machines.

"The machines are helping him to stay alive. If we wait enough he will be okay but… there is a little problem. And this is where you need to choose Mr. Winchester."

"Choose between what?"

"We can stopped the machine and end all this. He won't feel any pain and it will be quick. Or we can wait until he can breathe alone and all." The doctor said.

"Then what is the problem?" Sam asked.

"He won't ever be able to talk again. And it will take at least one year until he can eat normal food." The doctor explained.

"He's… he's mute?" Sam whispered as tears formed in his eyes again.

"I'm sorry but yes, we did the best we could but we couldn't control this."

Sam nodded and took a deep breath. "But he will be fine, right?"

"If you wait yes." The doctor said. "Wait for a full day and he should wake up."

"Should?" Sam asked. "You aren't sure?"

"We can't be one hundred percent sure with those thing, sir."

Sam nodded as a tear rolled down his cheek. "We'll wait."

OOO

The day passed and Sam cried, he tried calling his brother but it didn't work. He guessed Dean was in prison now. Of course it hadn't work. Nothing never worked the way they wanted… Balthazar had talk with the doctor and had went home again in taxi since even if it showed less, he was still affected by the situation and was shaking too much to drive safely. Sam hadn't left Gabriel side. He kept talking to him and crying over his sleeping body.

He would never hear Gabriel's voice again. It would never be the same. Sure they would stay the way they were and everything but still… Gabriel would lost his biggest weapon, his voice.

"I'm so sorry… I should have let Crowley go and run to help you. We had the audio, we could still have chased after him. And you wouldn't be like this. You wouldn't have lost your voice." Sam cried. "You know what… I used to believe in angels and in god." Sam shook his head slowly. "Not anymore."

Sam sighed and kissed Gabriel's hand once again. He felt a small pressure on his hand and looked up. Gabriel was smiling at him. Sam called the doctor, and he unplugged Gabriel from the machines. Gabriel took a deep breath and smiled. A tear fell from Gabriel's eyes and Sam stood up. He kissed the tear away and looked at Gabriel. Gabriel knew he couldn't talk. He put his hand in front of himself and mimed a writing animation with his other hand.

"You want to right something?" Sam asked and Gabriel nodded.

The doctor smiled at the two men, they were already learning how to talk to each other. He took the white board from the wall and gave it to Gabriel with the marker. Gabriel closed his eyes as he let the tears fell from his eyes like a river.

"It's going to be alright. I'm right here. It's all going to be alright." Sam whispered and Gabriel started writing.

I never told you. You're never going to hear me saying it.

Gabriel wrote and showed it to Sam.

"Saying what?" Sam asked.

I love you, Sam.

Gabriel hesitated to show the board to Sam but once he did Sam was shaking.

"It's okay, Gabriel. I love you too. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about that." Sam whispered as he kissed him slowly. "I love you too, Gabe. I love you."

I cried again once I finished this one... Don't judge me I'm still a kid inside.

Please do not take any of this seriously. I'm not a doctor and I'm sorry if this part doesn't make any sense. This is an invented story and I did not researched that deep on the subject. Please understand.
