"Last fire will rise, behind those eyes, black house will rock, blind boys don't lie…immortal fear, that voice so clear, through broken walls, that scream I hear…" – Aiden (Cry Little Sister)
It had been two days without so much of a disturbance. The only signs of life from the motel room had been Sam coming and going for food and medicine which at this point they had dubbed useless. Dean had grown worse; his fever raged on and showed no signs of breaking. They had tried every imaginable medicine on him and yet nothing helped. Gabriel had been sluggish as well, but not sickly he just seemed in pain almost. Balthazar had managed to stand the boys long enough to stick around.
It was in this particular moment that Gabriel keeled over in pain on the carpet, his breathing becoming ragged and he clutched his stomach. The glass of milk he had been carrying was no longer in his hand and its contents were spilled across the motel carpet.
"Gabriel!" Sam called to his mate, he felt a strong hand grip him and squeeze like no tomorrow as Gabriel looked up at him with pained eyes.
"He's in labor," Balthazar explained, not wanting to waste a mere second, he'd seen this before. "Help me lay him down."
At that moment Dean cried out too, his gaze was the same as Gabriel's and Balthazar knew it was time for his little one to come out as well. The hunter thrashed and cried out repeatedly in pain, Castiel was helpless as to what to do, but he held Dean's hand stroking it and trying to calm him down.
"Sam," Balthazar's tone was more serious than Sam had ever heard come out of the angel. "Fetch me three clean towels and some water, and then come over to your mate's side."
Sam did as he was told, he handed Balthazar three clean fuzzy yellow motel towels and then sat down by Gabriel's side and clutched his hand.
"I-I can't do it Sammy," Gabriel cried. "W-what if…"
"Hush Gabriel," Sam kissed his forehead and rubbed his hand. "You can do this, just breathe they'll be out soon enough."

The angels were on a murderous rampage, they didn't stop for anything. Zachariah's cold stare pierced through every human's gaze that fell upon him as he walked along the streets of Lawrence, Kansas.
"You're dead Winchester…" he thought to himself.
Similarly, Lucifer's army was on foot trudging towards the motel. Lucifer's smirk never breaking and Ruby by his side, the demons behind him following along like ducklings following their mother, he could almost victory. He would have Sam's children even if it killed him.
"So," Ruby asked. "Plan is we just run in there grab the kids when they're popped out and hall ass home right?"
"Actually," Lucifer cocked his head and pushed her away from him towards the demons. "I feel like risking my ass is pointless, I feel like you're more qualified for the job."
"What," she exclaimed. "You're leaving me?!"
"Sayonara sweet cheeks," He winked and then disappeared. "Best of luck."

"The grace has to break away from Dean's soul," Balthazar explained. "Then I can pull her out."
"C-Cas…" Dean stammered, he was shaking sweat poured like Niagara Falls down his body and his eyes were so glassy you could polish them, he was practically delirious. "I-it hurts…it's too much."
"Dean," Cas gulped, he had feared that the man couldn't handle this. "You can do this, I have faith in you."
"Hurts so much…" Dean stopped shaking, but only to let out an enormous scream as he felt his insides burning, the child breaking free from his soul. "CASTIEL!"
Cas took Dean's hand in his and held it tight, tighter than he'd gripped him in hell.
"There you are Sam," Balthazar had just pulled Sam and Gabriel's twin boys out of Gabriel's grace and he wrapped them in two of the towels. "Two healthy baby boys, congratulations you're a father."
Gabriel took both little boys into his arms, letting his wings go free. The little boys each had Sam's hair and his smile. They had Gabriel's eyes though and his facial structure. They were beautiful.
"Hello babies," Gabriel cooed, his wings shuddering in excitement as he held them out for the babies to suckle grace from. "Mama will feed you."
Sam watched in awe as Gabriel fed the baby boys, they sucked down his blue grace like milk and smiled. Sam's thoughts were only interrupted by Cas screaming.
"Balthazar," Cas yelled, Dean's once tightening grip had gone limp and Cas' eyes filled to the brim with tears. "Something's wrong with Dean!"
Balthazar rushed over and inspected the hunter, who had a strange glow about him, his skin was slowly growing ashen and pale, he was dying.
"His human body can't handle the incubation heat needed to support the child during the birthing process," Balthazar explained, quickly preparing to pull out the child by rolling up his sleeves. "He's literally burning alive."
In a rash decision type of moment Cas growled and let his wings go free from their confinements. He pinched the black wing and a blue glowing liquid oozed out, he flew over to Dean's side and abruptly opened the hunter's mouth. He shoved the appendage into Dean's lips and forced the liquid down his throat.
"Castiel," Balthazar exclaimed. "What are you doing?!"
"I WILL NOT LET DEAN DIE!" Cas yelled back at his brother, a look of pure horror on his face as he continued to feed his grace to the hunter.
Balthazar ignored what Castiel was doing for the moment; he was more preoccupied with getting the baby out of Dean as he tried to shake the bad feeling he had away. He reached into the man's stomach and felt around as a brilliant white light filled the room. Balthazar pulled away and pulled out a little baby girl.
She was beautiful; she had Cas' black hair, but Dean's gorgeous emerald green eyes. The bone structure in her face was near perfect and her smile was simply stunning. Cas took her from Balthazar, acting on instinct and removing his wing from Dean's mouth and placing it up to the mouth of the infant's who took a generous drink.
The room was quiet after that, no noise was heard but the sucking of grace by the babies. Dean lay stone still on the bed, Gabriel and Sam tried to keep their focus on the children in Gabriel's arms but it seemed as though no one could shake the bad feeling in their guts. Balthazar turned his head towards the door of the motel room leading to the outside. Gabriel's feathers ruffled and Sam heard a low growl emit from him and Cas both.
"She's here…" Balthazar said. "Ruby."
Sam nodded and readied his knife. Balthazar drew his sword and looked to Gabriel who whimpered and clutched his children closer to him, his maternal instincts winning over his battle ones.
"I'll send them somewhere safe Gabriel," Balthazar pleaded with his brother. "We need every man out there, the same goes for Cas."
Cas reluctantly surrendered his little girl to Balthazar who clutched her close. He looked once again to Gabriel.
"Please brother," Balthazar said. "It won't be like last time…not like David."
Gabriel's stare softened, he trusted his brother. He surrendered the two little boys to Balthazar who flew off somewhere and in a matter of moments he was back.
"They are somewhere neither angel nor demon can get to them." He assured the boys.
Sam helped Gabriel up and the two of them walked over to Balthazar. Cas hesitated, biting his lips and staring at an unconscious Dean. A couple of tears fell.
"There is nothing more we can do," Gabriel placed a hand on Cas' shoulder. "We must fight the battle at hand, I'm sorry brother…"
Cas gulped and he silently walked over towards the door where he knew impending doom stood. He opened the door roughly and walked out along with his companions.

Three angels and a hunter stood in the parking lot of the semi-abandoned motel. The manager was never around and no one really worked at the front desk, nor had booked a room so it was practically deserted.
"Gigs up Ruby," Sam said. "Leave or else!"
"Or else what sugar britches," she replied, a whole hoard of demons behind her drooling to kill. "You'll bite me again?"
Sam growled if looks could kill Ruby would be dead.
"End this!" Cas yelled, his voice cracking from sadness and the dust that had kicked up around them.
"These children do not belong to heaven," Balthazar stepped forward. "Nor do they belong to Lucifer!"
"Aww did I hit a raw nerve pretty boy," she smirked. "I'm sorry it still hurts, he still talks about you sometimes."
Balthazar's gate changed to saddened, but he still stood his ground.
"This ends here and now." Balthazar charged her, the others behind him following in suit.

Dean didn't move. He lay completely still; it was as if the world around him didn't exist. But the inside of his mind was a mad house, it was as if every nightmare he'd ever had was pouring through the floodgates.
He saw demons, he saw blood, he saw his child, he saw Cas crying and gripping his face. But mostly he saw light, he felt airy after all the other visions subsided. He felt power, strength. He heard a voice, saw a white light; it was all becoming clear to him now.
"Your time has come Dean Winchester."
Suddenly there was a flash of light; Dean felt nothing but his body growing stronger. His breath returned to him as well as the color in his skin.
Slowly, but surely, he opened his eyes.

Demons swarmed the four men outside. They were everywhere, biting and clawing. Sam did everything he could to keep them off of him as he stabbed through each one with his knife killing them. His vision blurred in the sea of demons as he looked for Ruby, but to no avail did he find her. He looked around, demons left and right were engulfing him. He knew this was the end.
Gabriel screamed for his love as he saw Sam lost in a swarm of demons. He fought bravely to get through them but he too found himself one with the ground and surrounded. He let out a cry of help but no one could aide him.
Balthazar had been stabbed, luckily not by an angel sword but enough to make him bleed. He lay on the ground his body shaking, blood poured out of his wound every movement he made and his vision was fading. The demons all becoming one black blur, the last thing he saw before passing out was Ruby's sinister smile that played across her face as if to say "You lost."
Cas fought, he kept fighting. He'd seen his friends go down one by one but on he fought. He'd lost Dean; he couldn't lose anything else today. He slashed at demon after demon as he made his way to Ruby. He grabbed her collar, but she propelled him away from her, he landed in a heap on the ground, blood dripped from his mouth and he looked up at her with pleading eyes.
"Face it Castiel," she smirked. "You've lost."
Suddenly though the area was filled with a blinding white light. Cas looked behind Ruby who turned around to see what was going on and he couldn't believe his eyes. Sam shielded his. Gabriel stared in awe.
It was Dean. He was alive and well, but he stood with two large white wings protruding from his back. His eyes shone a bright white to match until after the light died down then they returned to their normal emerald green tint. Cas and the others looked around themselves, demon after demon lay dead, blood oozing from all their pores.
Ruby stood in shock. She gasped as she looked around to see her brethren laying dead and cold. Dean walked up to her seconds after, with inhuman speed.
"Bye bitch." He said with a smirk on his face as he placed a hand on her head, a brilliant light shone through her eye sockets and she lay dead.
Dean chuckled as he looked at his handiwork. He looked over at Gabriel, Sam and Cas who looked at him in utter awe and shock.
"What?" Dean asked them.
