A/N- This chapter is dedicated to my friend, mentor and talented writer LeeMarieJack.

Without her pushing me to take on stories out of my comfort zone and encouraging my historical pieces they might have never been written.

I miss you Lee, you were one of the most unique and special people ever to grace my life.

….

Phyllis was spirited away by Scotty as soon as she arrived with her husband Mateo. Spencer took Mateo Mercado to his study where they caught each other up on the details of their executed plan over glasses of Ballentine's.

John Winchester was dead; his body had been found by the authorities and was sitting at the morgue all the way in South Dakota. It was only a matter of time before the cops came calling to inform the Winchester brothers of their father's demise and have them claim the body.

Mateo said after finding all of Dick Roman's personal possessions on John Winchester it had thrown Detective Monsanto off the trail. That cleared Dean and Castiel wouldn't be hurt by scandal or maybe even arrest.

The two men knew that there would be an investigation into the death of John Winchester and there would be questions as to how he was connected to Dick Roman and why he would murder the man.

Mateo told a worried Spencer not to lose any sleep over the details. With enough money and power trouble had a way of disappearing. Mercado Enterprises was rid of Dick Roman their biggest competitor, Javier was happy his friend was safe even if the Omega had no idea how that was achieved and Castiel was sheltered from fallout.

It didn't make Spencer feel much better. He wondered what happened to the Impala. A classic beauty didn't just vanish off the face of the Earth.

….

The Impala spun in a circle in the middle of the country road and then headed sideways. Terry took his foot off the brake and turned in the direction of the slide.

Baby came to a stop at the edge of drop off. Just a few inches more and she would have flipped hitting a bank of trees and gotten impossibly buried in snow.

Terry sat there a moment to catch his breath; hands still white knuckling the wheel. The heater kicked on and the icy cold that had permeated the Impala was gone along with John Winchester at least for the moment.

He carefully pulled back onto the road and came to a stop behind Salvatore's car. Terry jumped out and hurried over to Sal who was struggling with his leg brace and crutches to get out.

Salvatore looked up at Terry, soulful chocolate eyes filled with worry, "Babe, are you ok?"

"I'm ok Sal."

"I-I thought I saw someone else in the car. When I looked in the rearview mirror I saw your figure and…never mind."

Terry lifted his lovers bum leg back into the car then gave him a kiss, "It was John Winchester's spirit. He's still here and angry as hell."

Sal gave a nervous laugh, "There's no such thing as ghosts."

"I'm dead serious Sal. It was John Winchester. After we give the car to the Winchester boys I want to speak with them about doing a salt and burn."

"Terry they're just kids. Don't scare the crap out of them with your ghost stories. Anyway what the deuce is a salt and burn?"

"I'll explain later," Terry rubbed his arms to warm himself against the cold December night, "let's just find a no tell motel and some food. You look like you could use a painkiller and a good nights sleep."

….

Javi found Dean at one of the buffet tables stuffing his face with mini pigs in a blanket and little tarts. Dean turned to look at him and almost choked on a mini pig.

The little Omega was wearing black leggings and a crop top that said, "Baby" with a silver glitter arrow pointing to his exposed midriff. Javi had a little round belly and Dean noticed his nipples were pronounced. The doe eyed young man was so petite he was showing already.

Dean took a finger and gently poked his friends belly, "Its December, isn't the kid gonna freeze?"

Javi wiggled his hips making his belly button charm move and catch the light, "No, I have a warm coat. The doctor said I'll have to take out my navel fancy soon." He poked Dean on his one month pregnant non-existent belly, "What did your doctor tell you?"

Dean was embarrassed to say he hadn't gone yet, "I was supposed to go in this week but I'm going Monday instead," he looked around scratching the back of his neck then leaned in to whisper, "What does it look like?"

"You mean the fetus?"

"Yeah."

Javi held up a cocktail shrimp, "Sorta like this at least that's how the doctor described it. Next month Benny and I will get actually see our fetus!"

Dean wrinkled up his perfect nose, "Ugh…stop calling it a fetus. It makes the kid sound like a growth or something."

"Well it is a fetus." Javier bit the cocktail shrimp off at the tail.

Dean touched his own belly now running fingers along the smooth skin under the henley, "Cool, so mine would be about the same since we got knocked up the same weekend. Next month I bet we'll get to see baby Novak."

Everyday Dean was reminded more and more of the growing life inside of him. If it had been anyone else's child besides Castiel's the Omega didn't think he could have handled this well but Dean trusted his Alpha to be a good father. No child deserved one like John. Dean was determined his kid would be accepted no matter what and the love given would always be unconditional.

…..

Alfie clung to Sam's arm as Scotty introduced his young charge and the best friend to everyone that the Omega felt would like to meet them. Alfie wasn't an especially brave boy and Sam was fine with his buddy being a little clingy.

The guests were charmed by the cute, dimpled kid that could speak with them on an adult level at such a young age and thought it was adorable he had a little sweetheart on his arm.

Sam was shy by nature but had the ability to set that part of him aside when he needed to. Sam wanted Scotty to be proud of him so the youngest Winchester did his best to impress.

The friends escaped to the atrium taking refuge behind the potted palms. They sat quietly awhile admiring the sparkling, unbroken snow under the moonlight.

Sam nudged his friend, "I got you something."

Alfie's eyes grew as big as saucers, "Really…like a Christmas gift?"

"I guess."

Sam placed a hastily wrapped package in Alfie's hands. The boy ripped the paper off and inside was a small silver picture frame with a photograph of Sam and Alfie both smiling with arms slung around the other's shoulder. They were surrounded by colorful maple trees lining the edge of the meadow behind the Novak home.

Sam tapped the glass, "Remember Scotty took that a couple months ago. I asked him to print a copy for you. I think pictures are important. No matter what…even if you lose someone you always have a picture to keep."

Alfie looked into Sam's foxtail eyes glistening with tears and knew his friend was talking about his mother. Sam had just one photograph as his treasured reminder of her. He threw his arms around Sam's shoulders and drew him into a hug.

"You won't lose me Sam, unless we go to different colleges and even then you better keep in touch with me."

Sam relaxed into the hug closing his eyes and sniffing Alfie's soft blonde hair. His friend smelled of fresh berries with an underlying new scent he hadn't noticed before, a touch of musk that Sam found pleasant. "I've never had a best friend before. You're important to me."

Alfie reluctantly broke contact. He reached in his pocket and took out something small wrapped in tissue paper, "It's not as nice as your gift."

Sam opened the tissue and inside was a woven leather bracelet in shades of greens, gold and browns with a snap for closure. "Cool, did you make this?"

"Yeah, it's sorta my hobby. I thought the colors would look nice with your pretty hazel eyes." He put the bracelet on Sam, "There, your very own friendship bracelet."

Dean stuck his head around the big potted palm, "Get your skinny butts out here. I'm bored as hell and I can't eat anymore so there's nothing to do." He smirked at the pair with their deer in the headlights looks, "What's goin' on back here?"

Sam bitch faced his brother, "Nothing. We just exchanged Christmas presents not that it's any of your business."

"Aw, cute, now hurry up." Dean left and the boys followed after him.

Alfie stopped Sam in the entryway of the atrium and held his shoulders, "Close your eyes."

Sam closed his eyes but had a frown on his face, "Why, what are…"

Alfie pressed his lips against Sam's. Sam felt a shiver from head to toe, his eyes popped open when the brief contact ended. "W-why'd yah do that?"

A blushing Alfie pointed up and there was mistletoe hanging in the entryway, "Its tradition."

"So you go around kissin' guys every Christmas?!" Sam sounded a tad irritated.

"No silly, that was my first kiss."

Sam was blushing even more than Alfie, "Me too." They stood there awkwardly for a moment and then headed back to the party.

…

Dean shot daggers at the two unattached Omegas that had Castiel cornered chatting him up. He nudged Javi, "Look at those two horny bitches hitting on Cas."

Javi nodded in sympathy, "I know how it is Dean, Benny is strong and attractive so Betas and Omegas always look at him like prime rib. I hate it. I guess you have to remember that Castiel wouldn't cheat on you just like Benny wouldn't cheat on me."

The little Omega pointed out their perceived shortcomings, "They aren't really attractive either Dean. One of them has a fat butt and the other one has thin lips…can't suck an Alpha's penis with no lips."

Dean did a spit take of seltzer water over the buffet table and broke out laughing. After he had a modicum of control and wiped the tears from his eyes he draped an arm around his friend, "You come out with this hilarious shit and it cracks me up."

Javier pouted, "It's true, I wasn't trying to be funny."

Benny joined Castiel much to the delight of the tall, ridiculously attractive Omegas. He went to rescue his friend because Cas was too polite to tell the pair to get lost but now Benny found himself trapped as well.

When Dean and Javier marched over and interrupted both Alphas were relieved. Javi stood behind Benny and peeked around his fiancée, "Benny I'm scared to come out what with being pregnant and all. One of those big horses might trample me."

He reached back and patted Javier on the fanny, "Don't worry darlin' I'll protect you."

One of the Omegas said, "Well I never!"

Dean chuckled and went with the opening, "I doubt that. So do either of you have any tread left on your tires?"

Castiel, stifled a laugh but it came out as a snort instead.

Between Javier and Dean the two Omegas left after hurling a few insults of their own. Benny lifted Javi into his arms and Javi clung to the big man like a spider monkey, "Were you jealous petit?"

He nuzzled Benny's beard, "Yes, I don't like people flirting with you. Maybe I should marry someone ugly."

"Oh come on now, do you think anyone could hold a candle to you my little butterfly?"

Javi giggled, "No of course not."

Dean had enough, he grabbed Castiel by the hand and pulled him away, "Come on Romeo let's get out of here before I puke from all the sugar."

…..

Castiel was dragged into the kitchen and shoved against the wall. Dean kissed him hard shoving his tongue inside the Alpha's mouth laying claim to what was his. The pregnancy had an already jealous Dean on overdrive. He sucked then nipped the teacher's bottom lip and the Alpha pulled back.

He touched his lip and found it bleeding, "What the hell Dean?"

Dean whined, "Why'd you let those desperate bitches corner you like that?"

Cas lifted Dean up, put the jealous Omega over his shoulder then slapped his ass, "Come on you green eyed monster. I think I need to teach you a lesson."

Dean was carried to their bedroom and put down on the mattress. Castiel ordered Dean to strip while he made short work of his own clothing. Dean instinctively got on all fours wet and ready, begging for a good fucking.

"Please Mr. Novak, I need it bad."

"You are a naughty boy Dean Winchester." He slapped the wiggling ass in front of him a few times testing the waters. Dean pressed his chest to the bed and spread his knees farther apart.

"I'm naughty Mr. Novak…a bad boy." Slick dripped to comforter from Dean's ass and pussy while his dick bobbed and leaked beneath him. Dean had a teacher, master, daddy fantasy centered around Castiel since the first time he laid eyes on the gorgeous teacher.

Castiel lined up his dick with the dewy, flushed lips and murmured, "Tell me, who do you belong too?"

Dean moaned, "You Cas, only you."

The teacher slapped the other cheek and his Omega began keening, desperate for so much more. "My God, you've soaked the bedding."

One thrust and the Alpha was deep inside the warm, tight hole pounding at a furious pace for a long time until he stopped suddenly dragging them both down to the mattress.

Castiel knew his lover's body well enough to wring an orgasm out of the teen with a well placed finger. He teased around and over the Omega's swollen clit as the other hand went wandering to the stiff, pink nipples craving attention.

With one rumbling sentence from the Alpha, Dean became undone.

"I can't wait to taste your milk."

Dean pressed his face into the pillow moaning as his orgasms soaked Castiel to the wrist and painted his own belly with ejaculate.

They spooned, both quiet until Dean asked Castiel, "Tell me who you belong to."

"You Dean, only you forever."

"Cas."

"Yes?"

"I liked that…like you were my teacher and …you know."

He huffed a laugh against Dean's freckled shoulder, "I am your teacher but I know what you mean. Maybe on our honeymoon at the cabin where no one can hear us we could explore a few fantasies in depth. Test our limits…I wouldn't never really harm you Dean. "Stop" and "No" are both in my vocabulary so don't be scared.

The teen reached back and grabbed one of Cas' firm little butt cheeks, "Maybe there is some stuff I wanna do that you might not like."

"Mmm…like what? I'm quite open to explore all avenues of our sexual adventures. Remember I have little experience, almost everything is as new to me as it is to you."

Dean sighed happily, "I'm glad. Then I won't feel like such a dumbass trying stuff."

…

Castiel took Dean for his first visit to the OB-GYN. The Alpha had been worried that he would have to drag the expectant mother kicking and screaming but although Dean was nervous he didn't fight going to the appointment. He wanted their baby to have the best possible care.

Dean looked around the waiting room at the other people there. Besides a few Beta females there were a whole lot of Omegas, some of them collared and a couple on leashes. Several heavily pregnant Omegas were forced to sit on the floor at their Alpha's feet.

The young Hunter held his barely contained rage. If he said anything, lipped off to these Alphas it would bring down judgment on Castiel and maybe even cause security to be called. Nothing these men were doing was illegal. These Omegas were property plain and simple.

Castiel wanted to go to the Omegas sitting on the floor and help them up, tell them that as mothers they should be cherished not treated as dogs but he held his tongue. No battles would be won in a doctor's waiting room and he didn't want to upset Dean any further.

The door opened and a male nurse called out, "Castiel Novak and Dean Winchester?"

Both of them stood and Cas took Dean by the hand leading him through the door. Dean was weighed, gave urine and blood and then waited in a paper gown on an examination table.

Castiel stood by holding Dean's hand. He could feel the Omega tremble though the teen's expression was stoic. The Alpha draped a sheet around Dean's shoulders and held him, "Don't be nervous my angel. No one will hurt you."

A petite woman in a white coat breezed into the room, sat on a stool and logged into the computer. She swiveled around and gave the young couple a warm smile.

"My name is Dr. Saito. I want you both to feel free to ask me any question you want. Remember Dean, there are no silly questions, they are all valid."

Dean pulled the sheet tighter around him, "Ok."

She looked up at the Alpha with the stunning blue eyes, "May I call you Castiel?"

Cas nodded, "Yes that's fine."

Dr. Saito got some general background on their relationship and explained the reason for the blood draw and urine sample.

"Dean, when did you present as Omega and how long did the process last for you?"

"September, it was two weeks of hell. Thought I was gonna die I bled so much."

"Were you with Castiel or did your parents help you through it?"

"Cas helped me at the end and so did Sammy but mostly I was alone. I didn't want Sam involved in all that."

She typed as she asked questions, "Your parents…"

"Mom was murdered when I was a kid and my brother was a baby. Dad was alive at the time but MIA like always."

Castiel still had no idea how Sam and Dean knew their father was dead. He tried questioning them a few times but was shut down just like Scotty. He rubbed Dean's back trying his best to comfort him.

"I'm sorry to hear that Dean. Fortunately it seems you have a supportive mate."

Dean proudly held out his hand to show off his engagement ring, "We're getting married next month and Cas even got a ring tattoo like I did."

Castiel showed her his tattoo, "I feel an Alpha should bear a permanent mark of his total commitment and love for his mate."

She marveled at the unusual couple. A progressive, educated Alpha and strong young Omega both so in love even the Alpha bore a tattoo.

Dean didn't really have a health history to give the doctor and Castiel's was in the system already. The Alpha was free of sexually transmitted diseases and thus Dean was as well since he had been a virgin. Dr. Saito did a basic physical then pulled the stirrups out and told Dean to scoot back so she could place his feet for the pelvic exam.

His relatively relaxed mood vanished and the Omega tensed up, "Cas I don't want another one."

He gently pushed Dean back on the table and bent to whisper to him, "This is a good place, she's a good doctor and I'm here. It's for the baby."

Dean put his feet in the stirrups and squeezed his eyes shut tight, "for the baby." He did deep breathing along with Castiel as they had practiced beforehand. The speculum and the fingers inside were the worst and although Dean knew it was a kind woman and not a perverted Alpha monster doing the probing he still felt sick to his stomach.

Dr. Saito did a pap and took anal and vaginal slick samples to send to the lab as was routine for Omegas.

She wrote a prescription for prenatal vitamins and gave Dean guidelines on how to care for himself at home. When lecturing Dean about diet Castiel cleared his throat and raised his hand.

"Yes Castiel?"

He knew Dean was watching him, eyes narrowed and jaw set. They were talking about food, something Dean liked to argue about. "Dean eats too much candy and loves fast food and snacks."

As expected Dean protested, "Cas I'm not five, I can eat what I want!"

The Alpha rolled his eyes toward Dean and answered sternly, "Not anymore. This is my baby too and I don't want the kid born orange from all the cheesy snacks you stuff in your mouth or covered in chocolate."

"Oh I see how it is, you're worried about what color the kid is gonna be," the teen gestured to his mate, "see what I put up with Doc?"

The petite woman shook her head and laughed softly, "I can see you two will be interesting to work with. Dean just try to follow the diet I've given you and Castiel if you try to stop him from having any fun foods to eat I think you'll find a very cranky Omega on your hands. Let Dean have treats it moderation. Just make sure he eats well otherwise and gets exercise."

The doctor patted Dean's knee, "Although I can tell you exercise very regularly. She cast her eyes over the Alpha next, "You are both in fine shape."

Dean snarled, "Are you hitting on Cas?"

The doctor held up her hand, "I swear I'm not, just an observation Dean."

Castiel asked if Dean could get an ultra sound but Dr. Saito said one would be scheduled at the next visit.

Afterward Dean said he earned a trip to Little Moo's Diner for being so good. Castiel agreed and Dean got the patty melt platter with extra onions and a strawberry shake so he got his fruit in for the day.

…

Dinner was in the crock pot with about a half hour to go. The family had gone their own ways until it was time to eat.

Spencer reclined on a chaise sipping a martini as he watched his wife do naked yoga in their bedroom. It was one of his true pleasures in life.

Scotty was in the Elephant's Trunk Pose or Eka Hasta Bhujasana while relaxing nature music played in the background. He had perfected the pain-in-the-ass pose awhile back and it was one of Spencer's favorites.

The Omega focused on a flower in the atrium, it was the first one on the vine with the promise of many more to come.

"My child, my child, my child, you will be cherished…no one will touch you, snuff out your flame, rip you from my body…take you away…Spencer and I will protect you from this world while preparing you to live within it…"

Scotty's unusual meditation was interrupted when Spencer toasted his wife, "You look beautiful sweetheart. I love that little gut bump. I wonder if you'll get a plump ass…I wouldn't mind."

Scotty relaxed out of the pose and rolled on his back sweaty and spent, "You are a kinky bastard Spencer."

…

Castiel was running on the treadmill in the basement gym burning off excess energy and relieving his stress. In front of him was a flat screen TV playing a documentary on Omega childbirth.

When it got to the part with the baby sliding out of the birth canal followed by bloody fluids and the Omega's bowels letting loose he gagged turning away from the screen and slowing the treadmill down.

"Gross, gross, gross! Get a grip…what if Dean craps himself…oh god…should I let him watch this? Of course he should. So much fluid and poop…ewww."

…..

Sam and Dean had done an hour of physical training and were now deep into research. Just because they weren't actively hunting didn't mean that their skills and natural abilities should get rusty.

Dean felt it was unrealistic to think the family business could be put to the side indefinitely. Eventually the supernatural would come knocking at their door and when that time came he wanted them to be prepared.

Sam was practicing warding symbols drawing them from memory. He nudged his brother, "Hey you need to practice."

Dean took his beat up notebook and started drawing.

Both Winchesters looked up at the same time when a familiar rumble was heard in the distance gradually getting closer until it was right in front of the house. The powerful engine cut off and everything went silent.

The brothers scrambled for the window; there under the security light sat a vision in black.

Dean whispered, "Baby…you came home."
