The knock on the door woke everyone in the house up. After the lives they'd had before had Gabriel and Destiny were always ready for anything. Plus, like Cas, they didn't actually need to sleep. Sam and Dean slept light since hunters always needed to be aware of what was going on around them. Sam went downstairs and looked through the peek hole. He frowned and opened the door. "Mal?"
"Hello Mr. Winchester." she said politely.
"Can I help you?" he asked scratching his head. He was suddenly very aware that he was only in his boxers and his hair was a mess.
"We got a call at the pound that there was negligence going on here." she said frowning. "I'm afraid I'll need to talk to Gabriel and..." she checked her paperwork "Destiny. Alone."
He frowned. "Of course come right in. I don't feel like I've been negligent, but I understand you have to do your job."
"Yes." she said looking around the house. "Does anyone else live here?"
"My brother and his husband." Sam said.
Mal nodded. "I'll need to speak with them as well."
"Of course." Sam said. "I'll get you Gabe and Dessy to start out with since they're who your here about." She nodded and Sam went upstairs.
The other four were waiting at the top of the stairs. Gabriel sniffled. "'I don't want to go back their Sammy."
"I know angel." he said hugging him. "I know. It's okay. She just needs to talk to you. And it's Mal you don't mind her."
"I know, but Dessy." he said looking worriedly at their shaking daughter.
"I'll be okay." she said putting on a brave face.
"Are you sure?" Gabriel asked.
"I'm sure." she said with a nod. "Let's get this done and over with."
"Alright." Gabriel said. The two of them went downstairs.
"She wants to talk to you two next." Sam said with a sigh. "I'll be going last."
Dean gave his shoulder a squeeze. "We've got your back bro."
"You're good for Gabriel. Nobody can deny that." Castiel said with determination. He looked toward the stairs trying to hear what they were talking about...
"So tell me how you've been doing Gabriel." Mal said looking him over.
"I've been good." he said smiling. His hand rested on his stomach. Anyone with eyes could see he was pregnant at this point.
"When are you due?" She asked.
"In about three and a half months." he said smiling.
"You're very big for six months." she said surprised.
Gabriel laughed. "Have you seen the size of my Alpha?"
Mal smiled politely. Gabriel seemed to be doing much better, coming out of his shell. He was healthy. She marked all these things on her clipboard. "And how have you been doing now that your Alpha has got a second Omega?"
"Second Omega?" Gabriel said confused.
"Yes Destiny." she said frowning. Had Sam not told Gabriel? The two of them looked at each other and started laughing.
"Destiny is my daughter from my first Alpha." Gabriel explained. "Sam's brother and my brother Castiel, he's married to Sam's brother, saved her from being sold on the Omega black market."
"Oh." she said shocked. "I'm sorry I didn't know."
"No, no it's okay Mal. It was just funny." he said. "An honest mistake."
She nodded. "I'm going to talk to Castiel and..."
"Dean." Gabriel supplied.
"Dean now." she said nodding at him. "Thank you for your time Gabriel."
"Of course Mal." he said with a nod. He took Destiny's hand and led her upstairs. "She's ready for you thing one and two." he said looking at Cas and Dean. They went downstairs.
"Thing one and two?" Sam asked as Gabriel sat beside him.
"I was reading Dr. Suess before bed last night." Gabriel said with a shrug. "It seemed fitting for them." Sam nodded. He loved seeing Gabriel's personality come through.
"Dad?" Destiny said softly.
"Yes?" Gabriel said turning to look at her.
"Can I get a hug?" She murmured.
"Of course." they both said hugging her. She snuggled into her father's needing their support at the moment. Talking with Mal, though she hadn't even had to say anything, had been hard.
"Thank you." she whispered.
"Sammy!" Dean called. Sam kissed her hair and went downstairs. "Cas and I are going to get breakfast for everyone." They headed out the door. Sam waved on his way into the living room.
"Sit down please Sam." Mal said, giving him a more genuine smile than when she'd first showed up at his door. He did as she asked and sat on the couch.
"Is everything okay?" he asked worriedly.
She smiled. "Everything's fine Sam. I see that the case is unfounded. You have made Gabriel and his daughter so happy here. And he's very excited by the prospect of your little one, which surprises me greatly. I thought he would've given up. You're good for him. I'm very pleased with how well you've done."
"Thank you." he said swallowing the lump in his throat. She nodded.
"I'll be going now. I need to write all this up and file it. I hope I haven't disrupted your morning too much."
"No, thank you." Sam said relaxing now that everything was okay. He walked her to the door and she left.
