Dean had no real warning this was about to happen. His mucus plug had come out in drabs making it difficult to discern from normal discharge. The past few days the Omega felt heaviness lower in his uterus. Doctor Saito told the couple it meant the baby had settled, it was normal with the due date was so close.

Now, kneeling in a puddle of amniotic fluid, Dean fought the urge to panic. He had nothing to base the way his body was feeling on besides videos, books and the doctor's advice. As a first time mother, the teen was having a hard time holding it together.

Dean grasped the towel bar, strugged to his feet and nearly fell over in the process. He kicked off his sneakers and shuffled out of his pants and boxers as he made his way to the door.

"Cas."

…

Castiel was lost in his own personal music groove as he did a wild dance to Echo & the Bunnymen. "A home of our very own… a baby on the way, life is so good, better than I ever thought possible." He raised his arms toward heaven and spun in a circle, laughing at nothing in particular. The Alpha was simply happy.

"Cas."

The Alpha turned off the music. "Dean?"

"Cas!"

Castiel ran to the bathroom to find Dean leaning against the door jam, naked except for wet socks and his Pink Floyd tee that had rode up exposing Dean's belly. Any illusion of composer had vanished, the Omega's cheeks were tearstained and he had a frightened look on his face.

The Alpha didn't need to ask what was happening. Castiel caught the scent of the amitotic fluid, his baby and his wife's fear which sent him into immediate action. He swept Dean into his arms and carried him to the old divan in the living room setting his wife down as carefully as possible.

"Stay here, I'm going to pull the car up to the steps."

Dean croaked, "Where the hell would I go?"

Castiel ran the back of his hand across his love's cheek and gave a reassuring smile, "There's my little smartass."

…

Castiel fumbled with the keys to the Fiesta before jamming them into the ignition. "Why did I bring this car…oh yes, because I didn't know the baby was coming today!" He turned the key, the engine fought to start then let out a sound akin to a wounded animal. "No, no, no!"

He got out and opened the hood. Cas scowled down at the jumble of confusing things he never had a desire to learn about. Engines and the workings of a vehicle never interested the English teacher. Castiel ran his fingers through his hair as he tried to think of what could be the matter.

"I'll just call for help." Cas took out his phone and found the battery dead, "Son of a bitch!" He plugged the phone into the car charger; the screen briefly flashed then went blank.

…..

Dean had been stabbed, beaten and bitten; he had fallen down stairs, been thrown through windows, broken bones and had been so sick he felt as if his guts were about to explode out either end but nothing prepared him for what he was feeling at the moment. It was as if invisible hands were pressing on either side of his belly. The cramping was much worse than during presenting.

Dean tried to get up but the pain in his lower back sent him back on the divan.

Castiel rushed in, "Dean did you bring your phone?"

"N-no, I forgot, why?"

"Huh, well…about that, I think the car battery is dead and I can't charge my phone. I don't have a wall plug."

Dean burst out crying. The Omega would later call himself a big baby for not sucking up the tears.

"Honey don't worry I'll think of something. There is a house about two miles down the road. I'm fast; I can run there and use their phone."

The Omega reached out to his Alpha, desperation and fear in the Omega's eyes, "D-don't leave me."

"I have to Dean; I swear I'll be back fast as lightening."

A quick kiss on his wife's sweaty forehead and Castiel was off like a flash.

…

Castiel jammed his finger against the doorbell over and over but the Schmidt home remained quiet. He went from window to window and found the house dark, the front door locked as well as all the windows. "Did they go on vacation?"

He spotted a landline phone sitting on a coffee table in the living room. "Desperate times call for desperate measures." Cas grabbed a garden gnome from the overgrown flower garden and slammed the pointy hat against the double pane glass will all his strength. Using the gnome to break out the shards left behind, Cas then took off his shirt and draped it over the sash to protect him from glass and crawled inside.

The Alpha picked up the phone but found no dial tone. He swore out loud, "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" The normally calm young man was frantic. Castiel did a quick search of the home finding a sewing kit and first aid supplies. He stuffed them inside a trash bag and ran as fast as he could back to his wife.

…..

Dean couldn't sit up any longer; he rested his shoulder against the wall and slowly slid his way to the downstairs bedroom, careful not to fall.

The bare mattress sitting inside an old oak bed frame looked like heaven to the Omega. He crawled onto the bed and tucked a saggy pillow under his head. The window was facing the weedy driveway; Dean turned his head to watch for Castiel.

The sun vanished behind banks of dark, angry storm clouds casting the bedroom into gloominess.

Dean would have laughed if he wasn't already crying. It seemed the Universe was once again working against him. The Omega had an inner, one way conversation with the baby determined to be born right then and there.

"Please don't come out yet. Daddy is out there getting help for us…you don't want to be born out here in the boondocks do you?" A mighty cramp hit him hard, eliciting a whimper from the Omega.

Dean didn't know if there was a God but it couldn't hurt to talk to whoever ran things upstairs. Dean assumed if God existed he would be an Omega, a balance of his creations, male with female plumbing in the mix. It was a comforting thought to Dean.

"God, if you're out there and happen to be listening, all I'm asking is for me and my kid to come out of this ok. I know in the past I've been off your radar. I don't think I'm a bad guy…sure I've done some things but I had to take care of my Sammy. I've helped a lot of people, so if that balances out the bad stuff could you throw me a bone here? So yeah, thanks."

A clap of thunder shook the house to its very foundation. Dean wasn't sure if that was a good sign or not.

….

Sam looked up at the dark sky above then down to the phone in his hand. He had tried calling Dean but found the ringing sound came from the bedroom his brother shared with Castiel, Dean had forgotten his phone. Next Sam tried Cas' number and it went to voicemail.

The younger Winchester next looked over at Scotty nestled on the couch, breastfeeding Alexander. The Omega had been through a lot in the past week and the exhaustion on his face was evident. Sam didn't want to upset the new mother. "Who can I call?"

….

Margaret, Spencer's personal assistant stuck her head inside his office, "Sir, there is a Sam Winchester on the phone for you."

Spencer frowned at the efficient but unattractive, middle aged woman that Scotty had approved for the job, "Ask him if it can wait, I have a client coming in any minute."

She asked Sam if it was urgent, then held the phone out from her ear as Sam yelled back at her, "Apparently this can't wait Sir."

Spencer picked up and growled into the phone, "Sam, this better be really important. Are Scotty and Alexander alright?"

Sam used his ever deepening voice on the elder Alpha but it cracked part way though, "Yeah they are both fine. Dean forgot his phone at home and I tried calling Cas but it goes to voice mail. They've been gone for hours and haven't called or anything."

"Sam, they are both big boys. Castiel mentioned he was taking Dean to the house to surprise him with all the improvements. If I recall correctly, my son had packed them a picnic lunch."

"But…"

"If you're that worried call Benny, but I'm telling you everything is just fine."

….

Castiel burst through the bedroom door, looking more disheveled than when he left. The Alpha had lost his shirt somewhere along the way and a sheen of sweat coated his almost naked body. Normally Dean would have really enjoyed the view and had plenty of suggestive comments but at the moment he couldn't have cared less.

"They weren't home and the landline is shut off."

Before Dean could react to the news, the Alpha jumped to action. He moved Dean toward the end of the bed, propped him up with pillows so the Omega was in a raised position and finally placed a chair right in front of his wife's splayed legs for a perfect view of Dean's vagina. He produced a short piece of clothesline from his shorts pocket and proceeded to tie it in a bow around Dean's cock and balls, lifting them up and out of the way.

Dean protested the weird thing his husband was doing down there, "Whoa, what are you doing too me?"

Cas snugged the bow then sat back to look over his handiwork, "I am not being kinky, I needed to get a clear view without your sizeable maleness in the way. Would you like the first thing that touches our child to be your scrotum dragging over his or hers face?"

"Gross, no."

Dean had his eyes fixed on the ceiling trying his best to concentrate on a spider spinning a web above him so he wouldn't cry out from the pain of the contractions. "I don't remember what comes next…I'm scared."

Castiel went to his side and took the frightened Omega into his arms. It was his job as the Alpha and the husband to assuage his young mate's fears and do everything in his power to make sure Dean was safe and secure. Cas felt he was doing a terrible job of it and had let his love down. He tenderly kissed each finger on his wife's trembling hand then ran his cheek along the palm. "I will get us through this. Please don't be scared, I'm here for you always."

The Omega answered softly, "W-what do I do?"

"When the contractions lessen your body will feel the natural urge to push. First I need to be sure you are dilated enough before you do that. I've watched many videos of Omegas giving birth and how this process works, I also observed the doctor during your pelvic exams and listened very carefully to everything she told us." He didn't mention to Dean that the first child tended to be the hardest birth. There was no sense in scaring him worse than he already was.

…

Sam called Benny's cell then Javier's but neither picked up. Javier was in the middle of giving birth to twins and a phone conversation was the last thing on their minds.

He tried Alfie's mom but it went to voicemail. Sam next crept into the master bedroom and found Scotty dozing and Alex napping in the bassinet next to the bed.

He scribbled a note, went and grabbed the spare set of Impala keys. "I'm coming Dean, hang in there brother."

…

Castiel went to the bathroom and thoroughly washed his hands then got down to business."I'm going to insert a finger into your vagina and feel your cervix, if I can easily slip a finger inside and then another, etcetera I'll have a good approximation of how far you're dilated. I will not harm you or the baby, I'll be very careful. Do you trust me to do this?"

Dean had many issues from his time with the sex brokers and Dick Roman but he trusted Castiel completely. "I trust you."

Castiel took his time. He was surprised to find Dean's cervix was open nine centimeters already. The young father was able to gently touch the top of his child's head and it felt like velvet.

"No wonder you feel the urge to push," the Alpha shook his head in wonder, "I felt the baby's head resting just inside the cervix."

Dean let out a grunt as he struggled to his elbows, "Help me Cas." The Omega went from tears to determination. Castiel helped him into a kneeling position in front of the headboard so Dean could hang on to the sturdy maple for support. Castiel positioned himself behind Dean, ready to help with the birth of their miracle.

…..

Sam drove the speed limit and obeyed all traffic laws on his way to Alfie's house. The official junior Alpha had taken the Impala while underage and with no driver's license. The good boy felt like a bad boy and it was exhilarating. He put the radio to whatever damn station he pleased. "Driver picks the music."

Sam parked the Impala at the end of the driveway in front of a hedge to hide from Madeline just in case. He dashed to the big, old oak tree that grew right past Alfie's second story bedroom window. The athletic and long limbed Winchester scaled the tree then edged his way across the heavy branch leading to the window.

"Don't look down…don't look down" Sam looked down and almost lost his balance. "I shouldn't have looked down."

The view inside the bedroom was a whole lot better. Fresh from the shower Alfie was bent over; gathering a pile of dirty clothes from the floor. Once Sam got a good look at his official boyfriend's everything, he knocked.

Alfie straightened up, turned with a start, let out a weird noise and ran out of the room. He came back a moment later wearing a bathrobe. The Omega stormed over to the window and opened it. He helped Sam inside before laying into him, "Did you come here to spy on me?"

Sam stammered, "N-no, I came for something else."

The Omega snapped, "What did you see exactly?"

"Sam flashed him an extra sweet smile complete with dimples, "Sorry." Sam wasn't sorry at all. He bowed his head, staring at his boyfriend through long, shaggy bangs, "I saw it, its super pretty."

After Alfie socked Sam in the shoulder he threw his arms around his Sam and planted a big, wet, kiss on him. "I missed you."

A few minutes of tongue wrestling later, Sam grudgingly ended their embrace and explained he took the Impala and how he just knew Dean needed him. "I'd like you to ride shotgun."

Alfie clapped his hands excitedly and did a little bounce, "Cool, I'm your partner in crime!"

Within minutes they were on the road heading straight for the farmhouse.

…..

Drenched in sweat and muscles quivering from the effort, Dean pushed again. He let out a roar just as the baby started crowning. Castiel helped Dean onto his back for the rest, mindful of the baby.

Castiel said excitedly, "The baby is coming." A squished little face appeared. Castiel thought it was the most beautiful face in the world besides Dean's. Next came one shoulder then the other. Castiel was relieved Dean had no tearing though Omegas bodies tended to be more forgiving than females. The proud Alpha guided their baby the rest of the way from the birth canal.

Dean flopped back onto the pile of pillows, panting and trembling from head to toe. He waited all of two seconds before demanding to see the baby.

Castiel's hands were shaking so badly as he took care of the umbilical cord he worried he might drop the infant, "J-just a moment, my love."

"Cas why don't I hear cr…." Before Dean could finish his sentence a high thin cry filled the room. It sounded better to Dean than any music in the world. Dean struggled to prop himself up on his elbows just in time to see the father of his child wrap the infant in a towel.

The Alpha's eyes shone with tears, "We have a daughter and she's glorious." He handed her over to the Omega mother.

The teen kissed the infant on her splotchy forehead, "Hello Grace."
