A/N: Ok so this chapter is actually fairly short compared to all my other one's that I have written recently, but ehh that's cool. So anyways there are a couple of things i would like to address this way. So on with that.
"Somone who likes this": I'm glad that you like the story that makes me happy :) but, and i'm not trying to be rude here or anything, i probably wont change the title of the story X) it's been like that since chapter one and it will most likely stay that way. lol whether it's right or wrong.
"ir": glad you like the story to, but you know what? im fine with havin horrible grammar ;) besides i don't write these stories just to be hounded on for that. i write them for my personal enjoyement and others, you're telling me something that i've known for a very long time. obviously though it doesn't really matter to you because you keep reading it or that's how i see it anyways :) thanks though i think...anyways glad your enjoying it!
"Anon": hmmmm what can i say about you? well you gave me a lot to think on and i may take some of your advice into consideration, seriously. i like that you enjoyed it at least and that you think its new. Ok so on with the bad then. I'm gonna say this right now sometimes Dean does legit strike me as a hormonal, hypocritical teenager and when i started this story i had just finished watching the last season and was kinda pissed. X) needless to say i was angry at him and that bled through to my story i guess. but like i've said before in my other stories things DO get better, i know shocking right? :p and you'll see a change i think in the last half of this story. i don't really know how to address you're second bad comment but that i'll let slide. and the third one...well if you're offering to be a reader ;) honestly the reason for that is i just don't have the time myself to always go through my stories. i used to but not so much anymore so whatever i have done i'll update it as soon as i can. i use word to write all my documents and just go off of that. i'm no where near a perfectionist especially with grammar and all that jazz, but i at least try to have it so its readable and obviously it is.
My last comment is just directed to all you guys in general i guess. You all obviously like the story, even though you go on about grammar or something is spelled wrong, or something else etc so im just going to continue doing what it is i do best with this. i did not take any of your comments to heart so there's no hurt feelings here :p but i appreciate the honesty and the criticism. i'll keep an eye out for spelling or grammar but don't quote me on that cause i'll most likely just go back to how i like to write or how i'm comfortable with it, and the beauty of this place is this. if it bugs you THAT BADLY you don't have to read :p but thanks for reading as far as you have then, if thats the case!
Also to all the other people that have taken an interest with this story from the relative start or who are new to this whole thing thank you for the support! i'm glad i kept this story going in the end and i hope you guys at least enjoy it! now like i said higher up, short chapter X) if it helps though i'm gonna have another one uploaded mmmm lets say by saturday or sunday! toodles! and enjoy! :D and thanks for all the reviews! THANKS :D and the criticism to!
Dean stared at Serenity in complete shock and disbelief. Did she just say that he was pregnant? No, no that couldn't be right. Dean frowned deeply at this piece of news. The others in the room were likewise stunned into complete silence. They stared at Serenity with wide eyes and mouths slightly parted in surprise. Castiel looked at Dean and Dean made eye contact with the angel.
Castiel's eyes held disbelief, sadness, and was that some fear? Dean lifted a hand and gently placed it on Castiel's hand that lied on the couch beside his body. The angel jumped at the touch and looked down at their hands together. It looked to Dean that the angel did not even seem to be realizing his surroundings and what was being said around him.
"Wait how is that exactly possible?" asked Sam after a tense couple of minutes.
Serenity looked to Sam, "When an angel has intercourse with a human it's possible that the human will end up pregnant from the encounter."
Sam frowned even more at this piece of news; "But Dean's a guy-" he started to say but trailed off as Serenity shook her head.
"It doesn't matter if the human is male or female," Serenity replied, "As long as the intercourse takes place there is a chance. Females are more susceptible for obvious reasons but it can also happen to males, though the cases are extremely rare."
Dean frowned and looked away from Castiel's captivating blue-eyed stare that seemed to be looking through him, he shivered at that, "I'm not pregnant," Dean stated adamantly.
The people in the room turned and stared at the hunter, "Dean if Serenity says that she thinks you are-" Sam started to reply but Dean overrode him completely.
"Look I'm not pregnant! I don't know where the hell you're getting your facts Serenity but I'm not pregnant ok?" Dean huffed out angrily.
Serenity leveled him with a cool glance, "Dean I've been watching you this past week carefully and watching for the signs. At first I didn't want to admit it to myself but I see now that there is no choice in the matter we have to address this immediately."
"What makes you so sure it's a mini cupid inside me exactly?" asked Dean frowning at her, still trying to believe that this was not happening. In his head his mind was spinning out of control and at any minute he would likely faint.
Serenity sighed quietly, "You forget Dean that I am extremely old compared to you and that I have witnessed this before on Earth."
"What's that exactly supposed to mean?" asked Bobby.
"I was around when the first Nephilim were born and believe me Dean they had the exact same symptoms as you," Serenity stated confidently.
Dean stared at Serenity in fear, but he would never admit that aloud.
"What exactly are the symptoms?" Sam asked Serenity since Dean seemed stunned into silence at the revelation that he was most likely carrying the next Nephilistic child the world had seen in thousands of years.
Serenity leaned against Bobby's desk and stared at Sam now, she crossed her arms over her chest, "Basically everything Dean has been going through the past week. The sickness, his constant temperature fluctuations, his loss of appetite, when he complains of abdomen pains, which are severely intense. All of those are signs that point to an angelic child."
Slowly Dean started getting flashbacks as Serenity was explaining all of this. He was back in that small cell, with the footprints edging closer and closer to the door. As soon as it opened, someone stepped inside but their body was shrouded in darkness, which made it impossible to identify.
He could remember the horrible pain as he was penetrated and a deep voice above him, mocking him, as he was raped. He remembered after some time of trying to fight him off, laying there and letting it happen. At that point, he had blanked out, numbing his mind and sinking further and further into himself in an effort to escape the physical and emotional abuse that was being dealt to him.
Vaguely he remembered a voice shouting out to him that it wasn't him. Who wasn't who though? Every time Dean tried to remember what his assailant looked like he would be plagued with horrendous headaches and the memory would slip through his mind like water through hands. He frowned at this thought again and tried to focus again on the person from his memory. He could feel the headache starting to come on as he thought more and more of the angel, then suddenly the head lifted in his memories and looked down at him. Dean saw a pair of deep ocean blue eyes staring down at him. Suddenly his headache exploded and Dean screamed in pain.
Castiel started at Dean's exclamation beside him. The other's in the room jumped to and stared at Dean who seemed to be producing the noise. Dean screamed loudly, the pain in his head threatening to burst.
Serenity quickly walked over and tried to help soothe the agitated hunter, Castiel as well both trying to offer him any kind of comfort that they could. Dean wasn't responding to either of their advances though.
"Please make it stop! My god my head is just pounding! Please make it stop!" Dean shouted finally through his screams.
Serenity stared at Castiel in determination and somewhat fear, "Cass you have to knock him out right now! Something's wrong and he is in a lot of pain. The only way were going to be able to help him is if we make him sleep," Serenity stated clearly and forcefully to the stunned angel beside her.
Castiel stared at Serenity then looked down at Dean. He was writhing on the couch under their hold. It took all of Serenity's strength to hold him while Castiel tried not to put to much pressure on the hunter and crush him. He quickly removed one of his hands and lightly touched Dean on the forehead with his pointer finger. Instantly Dean slumped on the couch and his screams died out.
Serenity released Dean's body from her grasp and straightened up, looking at the angel. Castiel seemed to be lost in thought as he stared down at Dean's lifeless and emotionless body. Even asleep, he still appeared ravaged by a sickness. Now they understood that Dean did not actually have the flu, or some other human virus, he was pregnant with an angelic baby.
Castiel sighed wearily and turned slightly away from the hunter. Gabriel had told him earlier about what had happened to the hunter but he did not fully take into account that something like this may happen. Sure, he knew about the Nephilim but they had not been seen in thousands of years. Castiel walked out of the room towards Bobby's back porch and sat down on the steps.
After a few short minutes, he heard the door open behind him again and Serenity walked out, silently taking the spot to his right. She said nothing and the two of them watched the sun set in the distance in companionable silence. Castiel folded his hands in his lap and turned to face the guardian sitting next to him.
"What do I do?" he asked her quietly.
"What do you mean about that?" Serenity asked Castiel just as quietly, not looking at the angel.
"About Dean," Castiel replied in a dejected voice, "I already knew about what had happened to him with Raphael."
Serenity nodded not saying anything yet to the dejected angel. Castiel looked at her and gleaned something from the way she was not answering him. 'She knew,' Castiel thought to himself silently within his mind.
"You knew," he vocalized aloud to her. Serenity looked at Castiel for the first time since stepping outside to sit with him.
She nodded slowly to the angel, "I figured as much."
"How?" asked Castiel his brows furrowed in confusion.
"Honestly it's some what simple," Serenity started to explain. "You see I knew he couldn't be pregnant with your child. He is way to sick. Even the human mothers who carried angelic babies did not get as ill as him. Sure, they had the normal pregnancy symptoms just heightened but they were bearable. Dean unfortunately in this, is just biting off more than he can chew," Serenity explained to the angel.
"What do you mean exactly?" asked Castiel afraid to hear the guardians answer.
"I'm saying Cass that I'm afraid Dean may not survive this, and that just sends me over the edge to," Serenity sadly answered. Her eyes became misted over with tears that refused to fall and her cheeks turned red and blotchy.
"No, no this can't be happening not now, not after everything," Castiel mourned into his hands. Serenity leaned into the grieving angel and placed her head gently on his shoulder.
"Cass don't give up yet, Dean's a fighter and something tells me he's gonna tough it out just you wait and see," Serenity replied confidently.
"Your right Serenity I just need to have faith that everything will work out for the best," Castiel replied sadly.
"Or even better than faith," Serenity claimed standing up on the step, Castiel looking up at her, "Do something. Help me get Dean out of this I know if I and you think up something we can get that guy out of this hole in the mud."
Castiel smiled gently at the guardian's enthusiasm and stood up next to her.
"Agreed Serenity, I'll do everything in my power to help him," Castiel stated confidently. Serenity beamed at the angel and nodded to him, tears starting to fall from her eyes and leave tracks down her cheeks.
Suddenly, the door opened again and Sam stepped out to meet them both. He had a somewhat panicked, crazed look in his eyes and pale like a ghost. Serenity and Castiel immediately looked to the younger Winchester in puzzled apprehension.
"Sam what's wrong?" asked Castiel in his deep commanding voice.
Sam pointed back over his shoulder from where he had come from, "It's Dean. For some reason he woke up a lot sooner than we all thought Cass and I don't know he seems eerily calm."
Serenity and Castiel frowned at what Sam told them and walked to the door. They all stepped back inside, walking into the living room. Dean was sitting up on the couch all on his own, Bobby standing next to him.
"Are you sure you're ok Dean?" asked Bobby.
"I'm fine Bobby really it's ok," Dean comforted the older hunter. Bobby sighed and turned at the sound of their footsteps approaching. He gave a slight shrug of his shoulders and turned back to his desk.
"Dean why are-"Castiel started to ask the hunter but Dean shook his head. Castiel cut off midsentence and looked at the hunter in mild confusion.
"I remember Cass," Dean replied.
"Remember what?" Castiel asked a slight hesitation in his voice.
"I remember what happened to me and who did it," Dean replied firmly a hard glint settling in his eyes. His demeanor took on an icy chill, his jaw set tight.
Serenity looked to Castiel, slight fear shining in her eyes. Castiel did not bother looking at her or anyone else in the room, who were throwing him curious and puzzled looks at this. Castiel sighed and took a few more steps into the living room.
"May I have a few moments to talk to Dean privately? This cannot wait," Castiel stated in a tired voice.
Sam, Bobby, and Serenity all nodded and quietly left the room. Silently the back door closed on their retreating backs and Castiel turned back to stare at Dean intently. Dean stared right back at the angel tears almost cascading down his cheeks.
"Why?" Dean croaked out. That one word alone tore at Castiel's heartstrings. He grabbed a chair and dragged it so that he could sit near enough to Dean.
"I think we need to talk Dean about a lot of things," Castiel stated quietly, "And it's about time that we did."
