Alrighty I am back! My DCBB is finished just not time for editing! Thank you so much weedom and swlfangirl for helping me out!

This chapter is a bit short but I thought it was a good place to stop.

Thank you so much keeping patience with me!

Warnings for this chapter: talk about a possible still-born,

Bobby watched with a deep frown as Dean practically stumbled out of the room. There was nothing he could do for the poor kid, that was all in Castiel's hands now. But what he could do was wring every bit of information out of John while the tea was still in his system. He grabbed up John's arm and roughly guided him back to the chair.

"You answer me John...which demon?" Bobby growled out. John stared down at his hands and Bobby just leaned up against the table, arms crossed over his chest while he stared down at the other man. He could wait all day. Of course he had much better things to do with his time but he was a very patient man. John fidgeted for a moment before his hands were going through his hair and down the sides of his face.

"She calls herself Abaddon…"

"Jesus…" Bobby hissed, his entire world shifting and making him feel nauseas. He knew of this 'Abaddon'...had done some extensive reading on her and her special brand of Demon. They were high class upper level scum. The bottom feeders went out searching for the damnable souls and ones like Abaddon feasted on them.

"You sons of bitches actually allowed for that thing to surface? To allow her the fucking power of having a tangible body? Who in their right fucking mind thought that was a brilliant idea!" Bobby said, his voice growing louder with each word. He was furious. There was nothing in his books that even began the process of exorcising something like this. And what really worried him...was that this thing wanted Dean. Wanted him so badly they had no care what soul they had to corrupt to get him.

"I have no idea...I wasn't even there when she agreed. If I had...I would have tried to talk her out of it. I-I think...I think Abaddon's brother is involved somehow…" John stammered and Bobby had to fight every urge to punch John in the face.

"So not only are we dealing with Abaddon...but Azazel as well? Balls!" Bobby growled slamming his hands on the table.

"We're going to have to call everyone in...all the hunters, every witch and druid that I know...and even then, I have no idea if that's even going to be enough," Bobby said through clenched teeth.

"What about us?"

Bobby spun around and swallowed down his furiously beating heart. Dean looked like he was having a hard time breathing but Castiel was supporting him, his hands keeping in contact with whatever skin he could touch. Both of them looked haggard, worn out and just...exhausted. Benny knew what it was like being with someone who had to experience heats, he'd only done it once and couldn't handle it. And that wasn't even his familiar.

"We'll talk about this later...you two need to get some rest," Bobby said a little softer this time. Dean opened his mouth to object but Castiel whispered something in his ear, making Dean deflate a little as he nodded. Bobby watched the two disappear out the back door towards their little house.

"What about them though Bobby? Dean's...he's got a lot of power…" John said and Bobby damn near slapped him.

"And that's why we're not putting him anywhere near this. I'll lock him up in the panic room if I have to, him and Castiel. Go upstairs and rest John, I have some phone calls to make," Bobby said giving the other man a shove towards the stairs.

It wasn't until John was finally out of the room that Jody spoke, nearly scaring the shit out of him. He'd forgotten that she was there, ever quiet and paying close attention. She gave him a look and Bobby's face fell.

"Don't trust him Bobby...I don't...I really hope I'm wrong and that John's finally wised up...but don't trust him around Dean just yet," she whispered and Bobby found himself nodding. Jody touched the side of his face with gentle fingers and he smiled when she kissed at his chin.

"What do we do?" she asked. Bobby gazed into her face and fell in love with the woman all over again. She was human, a retired sheriff but yet she stayed by his side, supporting him through every crazy thing that walked into his path.

"Hope that the witches haven't left the area yet…" he grumbled.

Castiel nuzzled into the back of Dean's neck again, smiling softly as Dean made a little noise in his sleep but pulled Castiel closer anyway. They'd been asleep for a few hours but now Castiel found himself awake, staring at Dean and though he was still exhausted, he couldn't sleep. The little reunion with John was still bugging him, making his insides clench every time Dean would shiver in his sleep. He hadn't told Dean...but he could just barely make out what the other two men were saying while they were upstairs. The uttered name Abaddon rang a serious bell though and he couldn't remember why.

Something buzzed a few inches from his head and he sighed, rolling just slightly to grab at his phone. Samandriel had been messaging him constantly since Samhain, begging to see him and demanding to know why he was being ignored. Castiel loved his nest mates...but he really needed to explain to them once again that Dean was and will always be his priority.

Castiel, I need you to call me now.

Please...I really need you to call me.

Castiel! I'm freaking out...please...just please text me?

That last one had Castiel sitting up, wincing when Dean made a noise of protest as he rolled over, his arm lazily draping over Castiel's legs. Castiel ran his fingers through Dean's hair a few times and waited until he was fast asleep again before calling the younger dragon.

"Castiel? Thank God! I need you to come over immediately," Samandriel's voice hissed over the phone. Castiel frowned, gazing down at Dean and feeling his chest squeeze.

"I can't Samandriel…"

"I need you Castiel...please? I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important!"

"Fine...where's Gabriel?" Castiel groaned, gently slipping out of Dean's hold to start pulling on some clothes. He noticed Dean's sweater on the edge of the bed and greedily yanked it on.

"He's here...but I can't talk to him about this…"

"I'll be there soon," he sighed and hung up. Castiel ran his fingers through his hair a few times with frustration. He stood in the middle of the room with his eyes closed for a few minutes, wanting nothing more than to curl back around Dean. They were truly, completely mated and connected to each other in every way and Castiel couldn't bear to pull himself away. It'd be easier to just wake Dean, bring him with. Castiel nibbled on his bottom lip before deciding, crawling back on the bed to spoon Dean from behind.

"Dean?" he whispered, smiling when Dean made a small noise, hands reaching to grab at him.

"Dean...can you wake up for me?" he prompted, brushing his lips along Dean's neck. His witch groaned before slowly rolling on to his back to blink up at him. Castiel had to stop himself from chuckling at how confused Dean looked.

"Why? We're finally asleep and you want me to wake up?" Dean grumbled, rolling until he was facing Castiel, pressing his face into his chest. Castiel felt his heart swell and he bit down on his bottom lip. He succumbed to Dean's warmth and snuggled with him, allowing for Dean to greedily wrap his limbs around Castiel to keep him close. After a few more minutes his phone went off again and both of them groaned this time.

"Who the hell is that?" Dean's little growl was muffled against his sweater but he could clearly hear how grumpy his witch was. It made Castiel grin wide as he leaned in to kiss his hair.

"Samandriel...I need to to go see him…"

"Seriously? Tell him you're trying to sleep...not like it's a lie or anything," Dean pouted. Castiel smiled down at him fondly and gently pulled on the other boy's hair to get him out of hiding against the sweater.

"I have to Dean...he sounded pretty desperate…" Castiel said biting on his bottom lip. Dean groaned petulantly and sat up enough to be eye level with him.

"You want me to come with?" he asked leaning in to press their lips together. Castiel closed his eyes and cupped the back of Dean's neck to keep him there. Dean hummed softly and deepened the kiss just enough to have Castiel breathless.

"I always want you with me," Castiel finally answered when Dean pulled back. Dean stared at him with a fond smile, his hand caressing the side of Castiel's face. Fingers trailed over the scales and down the line of his jaw and it almost, just almost made him forget all about the phone call.

"I know...come on then, let's get going before he calls again," Dean sighed pulling himself and Castiel out of bed.

Dean rubbed at his eyes as he yawned, trying very hard to not fall asleep on the drive over. He recognized Benny's truck already parked next to Gabriel's jeep and Dean felt something poke at his gut. There was a weird feeling nudging it's way up his ribs that he didn't know if he could just ignore and push away to the side. He crawled out of the car and cautiously glanced around, teeth worrying his bottom lip as Castiel nestled against his side. His arm pulled his familiar in closer as the sigils on his sides seemed to burn hot, almost as if on instinct.

"Dean? What is it?" Castiel asked, his hands fluttering over his sides.

"Not sure…" Dean answered simply, eyes still scanning the area. The apartment complex was at the foot of a cluster of trees, an easy hiding spot for anything lurking around them. Dean was just about to shoot out some light into the shadows that swept through the trees when a small, timid voice called out to Castiel.

Dean took one more glance back before gripping Castiel's hand and following him up to Gabriel's apartment. It took a second to even recognize the other dragon. Samhain had only been a few days ago and Samandriel hadn't looked so...different? Dean couldn't put his finger on it but Castiel seemed to notice right away.

"Oh my God…" Castiel hissed pushing into Samandriel's personal space to sniff up his neck. Dean felt a slight bit of jealousy but he had to stomp it down quickly. Castiel stepped back, his hands instantly framing the sides of Samandriel's face with almost a glare on his face.

"You didn't protect yourself!" Castiel accused turning away as a low growl emanated through his throat.

"I didn't mean for this to happen Castiel! My second heat came on so suddenly…" Samandriel said, his hands grabbing for Castiel to still his pacing. Dean frowned as Castiel shook him off, a ferocious sound coming from his familiar when Benny stepped into the room from the hall. It was then Dean finally understood and he felt sick.

"You got him pregnant?" Dean asked. Benny stared at him, his usual bright blue eyes now dark and Dean could practically feel the self loathing wafting around the vampire.

"Gabriel!" Castiel shouted, spinning and pinning the Alpha dragon against the wall when he appeared behind Benny.

"How could you let this happen!" Castiel shouted in his face. Gabriel growled at him, shoving Castiel away roughly. Dean instantly grabbed for Castiel's arm, moving himself to stand in front of the fuming dragon.

"It's no one's fault Castiel! He's a breeder...and his fucking mate helped him through a heat! No one even had a clue that a vampire could even sire a child! Hell Cas...YOU can even be pregnant right now!" Gabriel yelled, spinning around to pace the room and even out his breathing. Dean froze, his hand clinging tightly to Castiel's fingers as he looked over his shoulder at him. .

"I taught you to take precautions Samandriel…" Castiel stated, clearly avoiding Gabriel's accusation. Dean swallowed hard around the sudden lump in his throat, his breath locking into his lungs. Had Castiel taken those same precautions? Did Dean even give him enough time? Things had moved so fast once they got to the cave...what if...

"Well we didn't know this could happen...now did we? Stop being an asshole Castiel...he's your brother who's been trying to ask you for help," Benny growled, interrupting the constant stream of questions going through Dean's head. Benny and Castiel glared at eachother until the vampire moved quickly across the room to pull a now crying Samandriel into his arms. Dean felt sick, a bitter taste rising up the back of his throat.

"No...how could we have known any of this...Samandriel I am so sorry I wasn't here but I was going through my own heat," Castiel said, his voice much calmer and the tension in the room suddenly dissipated. Both Dean and Benny moved out of the way to let the two dragon's embrace each other and Dean found himself damn near running out of the apartment and down the stairs.

Once outside he sucked in lung fulls of air as he paced along the sidewalk in front of the parked cars. His eyes had just closed when he felt a warm hand settling on his shoulder with a squeeze.

"Sorry for calling him an asshole…" Benny sighed moving them over to sit on a bench.

"It's okay...I'm sure I would have done the same…" Dean replied. Benny ran a hand down his face before leaning forward, elbows resting on his knees.

"We're not even sure if this...thing is going to survive and if it does…" Benny trailed off. Dean swallowed hard again and couldn't keep from shuddering. It would definitely be a new creature, half vampire half dragon...Dean wasn't even sure he wanted to be there when it was born.

"So how does it even work?" Dean asked feeling the color drain from his face. There was movement in front of him and he glanced up to see an even paler looking Castiel. Benny nodded up at him and moved to head back inside while Castiel took his place. Dean wanted to ask him so many questions or just touch him but he felt frozen.

"We don't have children the same way as humans...it has to be while we're in dragon form or the child could die," Castiel said softly keeping his eyes locked onto the grass.

"Are...are you? You know…" Dean asked blushing at how timid his voice sounded. Castiel didn't look at him for a long time, when he finally did his eyes were a bit glassed over.

"Dean…"

"Are you pregnant Cas?" Dean asked again this time a little more firmly. Castiel shook his head and Dean didn't know how he felt. He was relieved because neither of them were close to even being ready to have a child. But he also felt so...disappointed? There was an image of a happy Castiel with a swollen belly playing around in his mind and had been the entire time they were in that cave. It was definitely something he wanted and the more he stared at Castiel, he realized it was something Castiel craved for.

"I'm sorry…" Castiel whispered. His familiar looked so forlorn and dejected it made Dean wince. He reached out to touch the side of Castiel's face, both of them gasping at the sharp jolt when they connected. In the time it took for Dean to blink Castiel had climbed into his lap and both of them were clinging to each other tightly.

"Shhh...Cas…" Dean cooed rubbing his hands up and down his back and legs while Castiel nuzzled into his neck.

"I know we're not ready but the entire time we were in that cave...I kept hoping that the tonic would fail…" Castiel said thickly. Dean sighed heavily, holding onto Castiel that much tighter until his familiar finally calmed down.

"When we are ready though Cas...we'll have a whole score of kids okay?" Dean said with a little smile. Castiel huffed out a laugh and pulled away with a nod. Dean bit his lip as he wiped off the tears from Castiel's cheeks and kissed his forehead, tip of his nose and then his lips.

"If you have to give birth in your dragon form...do they come out in eggs then?" Dean asked suddenly. Castiel smirked at him with a laugh as he quickly raised from Dean's lap.

"Was that a yes?" Dean asked. Castiel merely winked at him, cocking his head to the side to lure Dean off the bench as well. He couldn't help barking out a laugh as he followed Castiel back up to the apartment, the uneasy feeling from earlier completely forgotten.

He never even noticed the dark tendrils of smoke following him within the shadows of the apartment complex.
