Six Months into Pregnancy
This was it the moment of truth on whether or not he could handle going back to his past home. The home he had for most of his life. It was strange that he was no longer a part of it. Maybe he was before Michael and Gabriel but now it was like he was an alien standing outside planet earth.
As far as he was concerned there were three barriers he had to get through to have a good night.
The first barrier:
Anna opened the door for them trying not to squeal in delight at seeing her brother. The moment it closed she lost it and wrapped him up in her arms. "I've missed you so much little brother. You look so good." Her lips delicately touched his forehead as if he was a scared puppy and not a nervous omega.
"It's good to see you Anna." He frowned when she grabbed his face and looked into his eyes.
"You're still you, I can see you in there."
Castiel's face scrunched up. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Don't worry about it, where's Balthazar, he was going to come and see you."
"I don't know."
Anna's eyes flashed to the alpha standing next to them. "I suppose I should let Lucifer know you are here." She walked away without another word, her pace slow so as not to leave her brother alone with the alpha that had 'ruined' him.
Five minutes later Balthazar was doing to same thing to him.
"Little half-bro and fetus," Balthazar hugged him without holding back. "Pregnant looks good on you."
The omega stuck his tongue out at him. "Oh hush up, you assbutt."
The beta laughed and turned to Dean. "Alpha that stole my brother, how are you?"
Before Dean could reply Balthazar was smacked upside the head. "You behave or I'll whip you."
Balthazar grumbled something under his breath and backed up to Castiel's side. "Sorry alpha."
"Dean, aside from the welcoming committee, how are you?" Lucifer and Dean shaked hands.
"I'm doing well and you?"
"Good." Then there was the awkward silence that left them all well quiet. "Well we should get to it then shall we?"
Dean nodded following Lucifer up the stairs. Castiel and his siblings were following after them. Balthazar swung an arm around his shoulder pulling him close. "The house really isn't the same without you," he whispers just for the omega to hear.
Castiel rested his head against his half-brother's shoulder.
"In here," Lucifer opened the door but Anna took it and held it open for them all.
Barrier Two:
Castiel was pulled into Dean's lap and the omega glared at him. He knew the only reason he was doing this was to upset his siblings.
"Here are the terms to the agreement," Lucifer says handing Dean a clipboard. "Take as much time as you need to look over them."
The alpha nodded grabbing the clipboard and carefully going through everything. Balthazar and Anna stood anxiously looking down at the clipboard as well. Castiel smiled at them.
The door opened behind them and the older alpha smiled at whoever walked in. Castiel tensed as he sniffed the air and smelled omega. "Glad for you to join us," Lucifer held his hand to pull Michael in and settle him on his lap. "It took you awhile."
Dean spared a glaring glance up from the clipboard.
"What does your brother think of this little idea of yours?" Lucifer asks Dean.
"He thinks it's stupid, especially after what happened but I want Castiel to be happy."
"Yes well if I may say so, it is a tad stupid but understandable."
Castiel finally got the courage to look up at his friend. Even with what he now knew, he still considered Michael a friend. Michael quickly caught his glance and smiled lightly. Castiel smiled a little as well though it was forced.
"This has to be boring for you all," Lucifer says. "Why don't you all go and find something to do until we are done here? If that's alright with you Dean."
"That would be fine."
"You be good," Lucifer tells Michael before releasing his hold on Michael's waist.
Anna and Balthazar were talking excitedly in front of them while the two male omega followed awkwardly behind.
Michael was the first to break the silence. "Castiel I'm truly sorry, you have no idea how sorry I am. I don't like not being able to talk to you. I care about you so much, I hate this."
"You should have thought about that sooner," Castiel snaps back but there was a dramatic lack of fight behind it.
"I know I should have. It kills me that I did that to you. I was weak and lonely and you were always there, I didn't mean for that to happen."
"Oh yeah your dick just fell into my mouth."
Michael flinched looking up to make sure his siblings didn't hear their conversation, thankfully they didn't. "Please Castiel, can't we go back to how things used to be?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"It's better than a no isn't it?"
"Yes, a lot better than a no." Michael looked down at his stomach and smiled. "How is the baby?"
Castiel looked down at it and smiled fondly, running his hand over the bump. "It's good, the doctor says it's a boy."
"You guy's pick out a name yet?"
"No, Dean wanted to name him John after his father but I want something more unique so we decided his middle name is going to be John."
"If you want unique name him Cream Cheese."
Castiel snorted looking over at the other omega. "That's horrible, we are not naming our child Cream Cheese."
"Why not? It's unique."
"A little to unique."
Michael laughed as well. "Well yeah, it's a dairy product, it's almost as bad as naming your child after little Debbie snacks."
"Strawberry Shortcake?"
"Maybe if it was a girl but for a boy that's ridiculous."
They came to a stop in one of the lounges of the house. Anna and Balthazar sat on a couch with Castiel and Michael sitting across from them.
"Castiel could I touch it?" Michael asks staring down at his stomach.
"As long as you don't try to kill it." Castiel tensed though it was meant as a joke. He got nervous even when Dean touched it.
"I promise not to do that." Michael reached over running his hand over the round flesh. "I can only imagine how adorable he's going to be."
Castiel smiled.
Michael jumped when a small kick hit his hand.
"Don't worry, it just means he likes you but he needs his space."
The Third Barrier:
"Castiel?" Gabriel whispers from the doorway.
Castiel's head snapped up so quick he looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"Gabriel," his feet moved against his will. Gabriel had hurt his baby he should keep his distance from him. Why were his arms wrapping around his brother? Why was his face in his shoulder?
Gabriel inhaled his scent and smiled. "I love you, I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry. I'll never hurt you or the baby again, I swear."
"I know Gabriel, I know." Castiel smiled, he trusted his brother, he just hoped he wasn't making a mistake in doing so.
"Alright," Dean calls. "I hope you are all packed, let's go."
I just wanted to say that if any of you had an idea or just a point of view you wanted to see from any of the parts in this book or the last one just let me know and I can't try to write it out for you.
