Walking back into the living room Gabriel was still in a state of silence. He was still putting things together from a moment ago. His mind was in a state of panic. How the hell was he supposed to be a father? This wasn't something that was supposed to happen. In all the years that he had been having sex with humans never once had he gotten one pregnant. Now here was Andi Winchester having his baby.
"Well look who it is."
Gabriel's head snapped up seeing Lucifer still sitting at the table. Lucifer stood looking at his little brother with a smile.
"So I came bearing happy news. Hey Gabriel wasn't that what did to that Joseph guy? Haha I am doing your job."
Gabriel groaned.
"Lucifer can you shut up? My brain is killing me as it is right now."
Andi still had her hand locked around Gabriel's trying to rub soothing circles into the insides of his wrists. Lucifer shrugged off Gabriel's response.
"I came to help you. I figured you would want your wings back especially with her delicate condition. Funny Gabriel I never expected you to be this devoted to one person."
Gabriel looked from Lucifer to Andi. He didn't like the nervous vibes coming from his lover.
"You came here to give me my wings back?"
Lucifer nodded.
"Yes that and to help you two and the little one on the way."
Gabriel looked even more unconvinced.
"Why do you care so much about our baby?"
Lucifer sighed a little over dramatically.
"Because believe it or not you are my little brother and I love you. I won't call you a bag of dicks like you seem to enjoy to call me. You need to be an angel no a human. Besides if angels like our dickhead brothers come around then you need to be able to protect Ms. Pretty and the kid. Now would you stop being so damn emo and let a man work his magic?"
Andi rolled her eyes.
"Must you call me Ms. Pretty?"
Lucifer flickered his attention to Andi.
"Princess you may want to step over there."
Gabriel looked to Andi gently touching her cheek.
"He's right. I can't protect you if I'm not an archangel. I've somewhat enjoyed this human experience but I do need to be me again. Nothing changes between us though right?"
Andi sighed as she stood on her tiptoes pressing a kiss to Gabriel's lips.
"No."
Lucifer made a gagging motion.
"Awe you two are breaking my heart now lets get this over with."
Andi gave Lucifer a cold glare before walking to the other side of the room as requested. Gabriel meanwhile, turned to face his brother knowing this was about to hurt. Lucifer held his hand up ready to snap his fingers.
"Anything you want to say?"
Gabriel shook his head.
"Make it snappy."
Lucifer snapped his fingers. Gabriel felt like someone had literally knocked the ever loving shit out of him as he hit the floor and a burning sensation started in his feet before making its way up his body.
"Gabriel?"
Andi's voice was soft and timid from across the room as he pulled himself up.
"I'm fine sugar."
Gabriel managed to choke out before looking at Lucifer.
"Well that was a bitch."
Before Lucifer could respond Sam and Dean walked into the room freezing at the sight of Satan in their living room. Dean looked to Andi. He was clearly making sure that his little sister was all right.
"Sam, why is Satan in our living room? Luci we are home."
Lucifer frowned,
"Knock it off Winchester I am not here to see either of you. So has your sissy over there told you the good news?"
Dean shook his head looking back to Andi again as she made her way to Gabriel, who was looking ill.
"No and what the hell did you do to feathers over there?"
Lucifer shrugged.
"I turned him back into feathers. Andi tell your brothers about the new exciting occurrence that will be happening."
Andi glared at Lucifer. She was clearly not wanting to tell Sam and Dean like this. She hadn't even began to contemplate how she would tell her brothers about her pregnancy.
"Andi?"
Sam questioned softly. When Andi didn't respond Lucifer decided he should be the one to let the cat out of the bag.
"Her and Gabriel are having a baby. Isn't it wonderful?!"
Lucifer clasped his hands together in another over dramatic fashion. Both Sam and Dean went dead silent and looked at Andi. Dean stepped closer to his sister.
"This baby is it human or is it going to be whatever you get when you mix humans and angels?"
"Nephilim."
Sam replied softly. Dean looked to his brother.
"Thanks. Andi start talking to me."
Andi took a breath.
"Nephilim. When Raphael took Gabriel's grace not all of it was taken away. That is how I got pregnant."
Dean rubbed a hand over his face.
"Gabriel if you were still human I would punch you in the face. Oh what the hell!"
Dean took off after Gabriel ready to knock the archangel's lights out. Gabriel meanwhile, snapped his fingers knocking Dean on his ass.
"Don't think so big boy. Its happened and it can't be taken away."
Dean looked up.
"Oh yes it can! Sam go get me some alcohol and tools from the tool box. I am going to cut that thing out of her."
Sam didn't move but remained looking at his sister. He honestly didn't know what to think. Part of him was livid with Gabriel and Andi for being so careless but the other part agreed what was done was done.
"No Dean. We can't do that."
Dean looked stood up, clutching his shoulder.
"Sam our sister has some monster inside her. What do we kill? Monsters! Our dad told us to protect her and we haven't done too good of a job at that."
Gabriel was livid at this point. He reached over shoving Andi behind him.
"You aren't touching her or my child you over grown moron. Our child isn't some monster. Now get over it or shut the hell up."
Dean turned walking from the room without another word. He didn't know what to do other then walk away. His sister was going to let this kid kill her and he couldn't do a damn thing about it. Walking away seemed to be the best option at the moment.
Over the following month and a half, Dean didn't speak to anyone for the most part. He stayed in his room drinking or was gone on jobs. Andi tried her best to talk to her brother and fix whatever damage was going on but she could only take Dean turning his back on her so many times.
It was Sam that ended up holding her when she cried trying to convince her to just give Dean time to accept what was going on. Sam and Gabriel were the ones dealing with Andi's pregnancy symptoms. It seemed like the day after she discovered that she was pregnant she had woken up with horrible morning sickness. Gabriel stayed by her side trying to heal the symptoms as they arose but sometimes even his grace couldn't stop what his lover was going through.
One morning Andi stood in the kitchen trying to stomach the thought of drinking a glass on ginger ale. She looked up at Cas appeared. He looked in her direction with wide eyes.
"Are the rumors true Andi?"
"What rumors?"
Andi asked breathing through her nose as Cas walked in. His eyes went immediately to her stomach that was getting round.
"Those rumors and they are true."
Andi nodded sadly.
"Yeah and Dean hates me."
Cas tilted his head to the side, looking confused.
"Because you are carrying Gabriel's child?"
Andi nodded, fighting the tears that were forming in her eyes. How could she not be sad? Even if her pregnancy hormones wasn't going bat shit she would still be devastated. From the day that she had met Sam and Dean as a child she wanted nothing but their approval and favor.
"Yeah something like that. He said the baby is a monster and needs to be destroyed."
Cas groaned. The angel was obviously annoyed as well.
"Damn it Dean. Andi, the baby isn't a monster. It is a definite oddity and has a lot of angels in a state but its not a monster. Creating one is forbidden and with Gabriel doing this it is directing the attention of his brothers."
Andi looked down.
"I'm scared Cas."
Cas looked around for any sign of Gabriel or either of the Winchesters before going closer to Andi.
"I would consider you a fool if you wasn't."
"I can't find much lore on it. The only thing I have found was carrying a nephilim is fatal to the mother. Gabriel refused to accept that. He said he would save me before I would die but I don't think he is really thinking clearly. Cas I'm going to die."
Cas reached out pulling Andi into his arms.
"No, you aren't. We will find a way. Life finds a way. I have to stress to you the seriousness of the situation though. Nephilim are some of the most powerful creatures imaginable and that is just ones sired by a normal angel. A nephilim with an archangel for a father is going to be off the charts."
Andi pressed her hand to her mouth trying to ease her pounding heart.
"We will never know peace again will we?"
Cas smiled.
"We will find a way. I'm not leaving you again. You've been very dear to me since you have come here. I'll work on Dean."
A few mornings later Andi sat quietly beside Lucifer in the doctors office. Of all people that had to accompany her to her appointment. She mentally made a note to kick Gabriel in the shins for this.
"So Ms. Pretty did you tell Doc Obvious that you are carrying an archangel's child? I have a feeling if you did you may be going to a nut house."
Andi swallowed, trying to ignore the repeating sick feeling in her stomach. The last thing she needed was to throw up.
"Lucifer for the last time my name is Andi and no I didn't tell the doctor anything of what your brother is. Gabriel just modified the doctors memory. I am only here so I can see an ultrasound."
Lucifer frowned. He was wondering why on earth they were sitting in a human OBGYN office anyway? These doctors wouldn't be able to handle the child forming inside Andi's body. Lucifer smiled at the thought of them trying.
Stupid humans wouldn't be able to process what was happening to them. The kid would rip them apart.
"Really you came to get picture of that little blob inside you?"
Andi sighed, feeling annoyed. She gave Lucifer a glare out of the corner of her eyes. She didn't turn to face him or fully look at him. Instead, she was mentally chewing Gabriel out of for being out of town with Castiel trying to find anything he could on other nephilim. As bad as it sounded, Andi was thankful for a little break from her lover. She was tired of the sympathetic look that Gabriel gave her anytime that he looked at her now. Things were different. He was constantly looking at her like he was apologizing for what he did to her. Gabriel didn't even let on like he was excited about the baby because he wasn't. He didn't say it but that went without saying.
"That little blob is your nephew and yes I want to see an ultra sound."
Andi said spitefully. Lucifer nodded leaning back. He was no fool. Lucifer knew good and well that there were problems brewing between Gabriel and Andi. Being his nosy self he prowled through Andi's thoughts. She was afraid. That he could understand and sympathized with. She also felt that Gabriel really wasn't in love with her at this point just doing his duty to what he created. Lucifer gagged at the thought of how Gabriel and Andi's sex life was now nonexistent. That thought Lucifer could have done without. He watched Andi as she placed a hand over her mouth.
"I want you to stop vomiting."
He said calmly. Andi looked at him with a beyond annoyed expression.
"If I could control it...I would do it on you right now"
Lucifer scoffed.
"How very Exorcist of you! So Gabriel is out hunting with Cas while your here without him and stuck with little ole me. Does that make you angry?"
Andi shook her head.
"No. We have to get Raphael taken care of. You know that. Gabriel has to do what needs to be done even if that includes not being with me."
Lucifer groaned before reaching over and putting his fingers to Andi's head to stop the nausea. Andi blinked a few times before looking over at her lover's brother.
"Thanks."
Lucifer nodded. He wasn't about to take credit of making someone feel better. That wasn't his style. At the same time though he did feel sorry for the girl beside him. This pregnancy was taking a lot out of her and she looked like death.
When Andi was finally called back to the exam room Lucifer sat looking at all the birthing manuals and other "instructional" materials.
"Well none of this will help you. We will probably have to cut that pretty belly of yours open to get the tot out. Humans having angels babies...makes me chuckle."
Andi groaned.
"Ugh Luci you are such a prince."
Lucifer grinned
"Well thank you!"
Lucifer went back to his investigation of items. He picked up a plastic model of the uterus and frowned with disgust.
"And my father said he made women beautiful. This is gross!"
Andi rolled her eyes for the millionth time.
"I'm glad I am having Gabriel's baby and not yours. Would you stop messing with stuff? The uterus isn't a toy."
Lucifer smirked again.
"Maybe you should tell my brother the uterus isn't a toy. Obviously he missed the memo since he's been boning you raw a lot lately. I'm glad you aren't having my baby either. Although I like you girly you are too mouthy for my liking."
Andi giggled slightly at that.
"Well you don't have to worry about any dicking going on any longer Gabriel won't touch me. I can assure you this will be a one time only thing. Can't really be planning another since I will be dead."
Lucifer frowned.
"You aren't going to die. I wish you would stop talking like that. I am fucking Satan I can bring you back to life. Besides Gabriel won't let anything happen to you."
Andi swallowed.
"What if Michael or Raphael find me?"
Lucifer's face darkened.
"Well let's say they are going to be coming off a lot worse than what you are right now. Can we stop with the emotional knocked up mess you are being? I prefer you mouthy."
Arriving back at at the bunker Andi was smiling down at the ultrasound picture in her hand. She had felt much better when the doctor came in and did the ultrasound. Seeing her baby seemed to be everything that Andi needed to feel better. Even Lucifer had a very odd look to his face when he saw the baby.
"Well look at that."
Was his only comment but his facial expression was a mixture of his normal snark and pride.
When walking into the living room Sam and Dean sat with books in their laps. Sam quickly stood while Dean remained sitting but watched his sister intently.
"Well how was your appointment?"
Sam asked with much concern in his voice. Andi smiled handing her older brother the ultrasound picture. Sam smiled.
"Is everything good?"
Andi nodded, placing a hand on her tummy.
"Yeah from what they could see."
Sam reached out pulling her into a hug.
"Has Gabriel and Cas came back?"
Before Sam could respond Gabriel and Cas appeared in the room. Gabriel quickly pulled Andi into his arms kissing her. Andi missed being kissed like that! She moaned against his lips before tangling her fingers in his curls. When he pulled away Gabriel cupped her face a moment before nuzzling his face against hers.
"Everything okay peach?"
Andi nodded.
"Mhm. From what the doctor could see everything looked fine."
She pulled away and handed Gabriel the ultrasound photo. Andi watched his face for any sign of discontent instead he smiled.
"Are you happy?"
Gabriel asked. It was a genuine question. He could sense the happiness in Andi but verbal confirmation seemed nice as well. Gabriel didn't look to Cas, who was obviously still working on Dean. Gabriel didn't let his mind dwell too much on the eldest Winchester. The less that he had to deal with him at the moment the better everyone else was. Gabriel wasn't the least bit pleased with how Dean was treating Andi and was ready to deal out just desserts if things didn't start improving.
"I am."
Andi said softly, pulling Gabriel from his thoughts. Gabriel kissed her forehead before glancing back to Cas.
"We'll be back later."
Before Cas could object to them going anywhere without another angel the two were gone.
The next thing Andi knew they were standing in the middle of a department store.
"Where are we Gabriel?"
Gabriel shrugged innocently.
"You've been looking for baby stuff online and the baby is going to need stuff so here we are. We don't have a lot of time to play with"
Andi intertwined her hand with his with a smile.
"I love you."
"I know...I'm pretty awesome."
Andi rolled her eyes as they started walking through rows of baby clothes and things.
"You are so dreamy Gabe."
Gabriel chuckled.
"I love you too kid. So you never said how things went with Lucifer."
Andi stopped walking and gave him a look. For a moment Gabriel was afraid that he was going to have to go off on his brother for a misdoing.
"I was going to kick you in the shins for making him go with me but it actually went okay. Lucifer was just his human hating self. But I think I am winning him over. He kind of admitted it too."
Gabriel smiled.
"Look at you winning Satan over. I told you that you are alluring sugar."
Gabriel stopped walking and pulled Andi back into his arms. Blocking out the noise of the department store Andi focused on Gabriel's golden eyes that seemed even more golden than normal.
"Bewitching is more like it sugar. You've bewitched me."
Gabriel gently kissed her. For the second time of the day he didn't let his lips leave hers. Pulling away Gabriel didn't let his lips get too far from hers.
"Gabriel I want you so bad!"
Andi whispered against his lips. She ignored the way he closed his eyes and frowned.
"I know sweetheart."
He replied before letting his hand trace over her stomach. The moment the baby moved they both jumped away from each other. Gabriel's eyes widened as he put his hand back.
"Has he moved like that before?"
Andi smiled at the feeling of their baby moving against his father's hand. It was almost as though Gabriel's touch real made him get going.
"No, that's the first time."
Gabriel went back to running his hand over her stomach just to feel his child move more. Both were so entranced in their moment that neither noticed someone approach until a voice neither wanted to hear began to speak.
"Gabriel so its true."
Both looked up quickly. Gabriel's mouth fell at the sight of Kali watching them with a bemused expression on her face. He reached out pulling Andi closer to him. Kali didn't wait for him to start speaking. She looked at Andi with eyes full of disgust.
"So you get your grace back and knock up a human. Have you truly lost your mind?"
Andi frowned.
"You're Kali aren't you?"
Kali looked to Andi with a less than cordial frown.
"Yes I am."
Andi ignored the look of warning that she was getting from Gabriel.
"I knew that. It wasn't hard to pick out your arrogant ass."
Kali looked ready to attack Andi. Gabriel quickly snapped his fingers rendering Kali's powers useless.
"No."
He said coldly. Kali looked back to Gabriel deciding to let the young set Winchester's comment slide.
"You have your grace back."
"And you can see."
Gabriel said coldly. Kali rolled her eyes.
"Since you have your grace back you can come back to me if you want."
Andi looked ready to beat the shit out of the goddess in front of her. If it wasn't for the knowledge that this could really hurt their baby and Gabriel had a death grip on her things would have been a lot different.
"Not happening. She loved me when I was human something you wouldn't do. My affiliation is with my lover and child."
Gabriel said coldly. Kali meanwhile, scoffed.
"Well you'll get bored with her eventually. You always do get bored with lowly mortals quickly. We'll see who is right."
Kali vanished before another word could be uttered leaving both Andi and Gabriel in silence.
"Well she is bitchy as I could have imagined."
Andi stated ignoring the look of anger on Gabriel's face.
"Come on we need to get you some dinner."
Gabriel replied coldly.
The rest of the evening Gabriel was in a silent and icy mood. Andi was so used to his cheerful smile that seeing him frown was almost unnerving. Anytime that she tried to make a conversation with him Gabriel would only give her a one or two word response. By the time that Andi's dinner showed up she as almost in tears and Gabriel seemed to not give a damn.
Arriving back home Andi marched right past her brothers and Cas to her bedroom and slammed the door. Cas looked to his brother confused.
"Gabriel what happened?"
Gabriel shrugged.
"Bunch of unnecessary drama. Cas keep an eye on her I have to go clear my head."
Before Cas could object Gabriel vanished leaving the rest of team free will in an awkward silence. Andi, meanwhile stood undressing. She was glad for the moment that Gabriel wasn't in the room. She didn't want him to see her sobbing.
The moment the baby moved Andi froze feeling the tears falling faster. She placed her hand in the same place that Gabriel's had been letting her mind go into overdrive. What if Gabriel still had feelings for Kali and seeing her just reconfirmed everything? Could see really stand for Gabriel to break things off with her and go back to the goddess? The answer was no. Andi couldn't stand the thought of Gabriel being back in the arms of that horrible woman. Would Gabriel abandon her and their child for Kali? Could it come to that? At the moment Andi was beginning to think yes.
Getting into bed Andi tried to get her mind from the thoughts rushing into her about Gabriel but she couldn't stop it. Their tender moment was ruined in a blink of a eye. Deep down Andi knew that their life would probably be like this a lot. People would always try to come between them. Once Michael and Raphael knew 100% about the baby they would start their drama.
"This is why angels and humans shouldn't mix."
Andi whimpered, pressing her face into her pillow
"Dean was right."
