*Month Five*
Sam paced back and forth nervously around the living room. Dean was on his way with Cas, Bay, Gabriel, and Lucifer. Dean wasn't giving Sam any choice in the matter, today was the day Sam had to confess. He had to tell Gabriel and Lucifer about his pregnancy, and that he was having triplets. He began chewing on his fingernails, a bad habit he hadn't done since he was a child. He was angry with Dean for forcing him to do this and had been stressing himself over it for the past few days. Sam understood what his brother was trying to do for him, but it didn't mean he had to like it. Sam stopped pacing and froze when the front door opened, revealing his brother carrying Bay in the doorway. Slowly, one by one, everyone made their way into the cabin. Gabriel and Lucifer rushed to Sam, hugging him tightly, and sighing in relief at the sight of their hunter was alright. They eventually settled down and seated themselves on the couch, Cas sat in a nearby chair while Dean leaned against the arm holding Bay. They all had their eyes on Sam, making Sam feel quite uneasy. Sam looked to Dean, who encouraged him to confess everything.
"Uh, I assume Dean told you all that I had something important to share with you." Sam managed to say, he felt so nervous at that moment and could feel how sweaty his palms were. "I should've told you all five months ago, but I couldn't bring myself to do it."
"Get on with it, Sammy." Dean knew Sam was procrastinating and trying to find a way out of it. He stood up next to Sam with Bay in his arms. "It's going to be alright. Just tell them." Sam took a deep breath.
"Okay, well, I found out I was pregnant five months ago." Sam avoided looking towards Gabriel and Lucifer, afraid what expressions would be waiting. "I also recently found out that I'm actually having triplets."
Silence consumed the room. Sam risked looking towards his angels, and nothing. No emotions were present on their faces or in their eyes. Sam's fear and worry continued to grow much quicker. Cas getting up from the chair caught Sam's attention. Cas made his way to Sam and gave him a gentle hug.
"Congratulations Sam." Cas said, offering a soft smile to the obvious nervous hunter. He looked back at his brothers, who sat perfectly still and silently. "Gabriel, Lucifer, are you not happy to hear of your unborn children?"
Gabriel stood up from the couch and stared down at Sam's abdomen, staring at the baby bump completely emotionless. Sam became uneasy and moved his hand to cover his abdomen in a protective manner. Gabriel let his eyes wonder up to meet Sam's for a quick second before vanishing from the room, Lucifer following Gabriel soon after. Sam felt his legs give out from under him and he fell to his knees, not bothering to stop the tears from flowing. Dean and Cas knelt down next to him, and comforted him at best the could. Sam didn't pay them much attention, he had heard the same things over and over again that he had grown tired of hearing them. Bay wiggled her way out of Dean's arms to sit in front of Sam, grabbing Sam's attention.
"Don't cry, Uncle Sammy." Bay said, inching her way closer to Sam. She gave him a quick hug before resting her head upon the slightly bigger baby bump. She smiled to herself after hearing her four hearts beating strongly, all belong to her family members. "I'll help take care of you."
Cas and Dean stood in the doorway to the master bedroom. Sam had fallen asleep, and had Bay cuddled up right next to him. The sight warmed their heart, but they still had the pressing issue of Gabriel and Lucifer disappearing.
"What should we do, Dean?" Cas asked, turning to face the hunter in a serious manner. He knew Dean wasn't happy with the archangels abandoning his brother during a sensitive time.
"Find them." Dean said, tearing his eyes off the calm scene before them. Of coarse he wanted to hurt the archangel assholes that rushed out of the cabin without saying a word to Sammy, but that would only hurt Sam more than he already was."Find out why those two ditched my brother like that."
Castiel simply nodded his head and kissed Dean softly before vanishing from the room. He traveled around the world, searching for his brothers. He eventually found them sitting in an open field, surrounded by wild flowers and tall grass. It hit Cas as odd that it was strangely quiet, it was nature there should be birds chirping at the least. Castiel stood in front of his brothers, blocking whatever it seemed they were staring at.
"What are you doing, Cassie?" Gabriel asked, sounding very annoyed that Castiel had shown up. He was sitting in a small patch of grass against a tree, now glaring at his little brother. "Why are you here?"
"I believe you know why I'm here." Castiel said, matching Gabriel's annoyed tone. He had always looked up to Gabriel and Lucifer, before Lucifer fell, and had always admired them. Now he found himself feeling disappointed in them. "Why did you leave Sam like that?"
Neither archangel responded to Castiel, instead they turned away from their little brother. Anger and rage started to boil inside Cas. He had never felt this way towards Gabriel and Lucifer before. They had looked after him when he was a fledgling and taught him right from wrong. Castiel sighed and slumped his shoulders in defeat. There was no way he'd be able to accept the current situation, but it didn't mean he had to like how they were acting.
"I've admired both of you since I was a small fledgling." Castiel didn't hide the anger and hurt he felt from his voice. He never said or done anything that went against his favorite brothers, but he couldn't hold it back this time. Cas started to speak softly. "You both taught me it was better to face any situation head on instead of running away, whether it was difficult or not. All the respect I had for you both is now gone. I never would have pictured that you were both cowards."
"Cassie, we-" Gabriel started to speak, but was cut off when Castiel held up his hand. Gabriel had never seen Cas act this way, and was unsure how to react.
"I don't want to hear your excuses." Cas knelt down in front of Gabriel and Lucifer, forcing them to look at him. The betrayed expression plastered on Castiel's face was even to worry them. Cas raised his voice, letting it echo through the empty woods surrounding them. "Could you not tell that Sam was terrified to tell you because of this very reason?! You loved and cherished him before you found out about his pregnancy, why does the mere thought of having children terrify you both?"
Castiel waited for an answer only to receive silence. He stood up before turning his back to his brothers and prepared to leave. Before he returned to the cabin, he took one last look at Gabriel and Lucifer. He still loved them deep down in his heart, but he could only thing of one word to describe his brothers at that moment. Pathetic.
"If you were not my brothers..." Cas paused to make sure Gabriel and Lucifer could hear one last thing he had to say. "I would tear your grace apart for hurting Sam like this."
Five days. Five days since Gabriel and Lucifer disappeared the day Sam told them about the pregnancy. Dean had apologized several times, but Sam wasn't blaming him. Sam gave himself all the blame. He was sitting next to a window in the master bedroom, staring outside and watching the rain fall. He listened as the rain drops hit everything in the area hard. The sound soothed his troubled mind for the time being. Sam was thankful for every second he had alone. He loved his family more than anything, but with the guilt weighing down on him, he felt he deserved to be alone.
Dean knocked on the door gently before walking into the room. The past five days wasn't easy on his little brother, and he was very worried and concerned.
"Hey, you okay, Sammy?" Dean asked, standing a few feet from Sam. He tried his best not to hover over Sam ever second of every day. "You've been locked up in here all day. You haven't even eaten anything." Dean motioned to Sam's untouched plate of food.
Sam hadn't been eating since Gabriel and Lucifer disappeared, which caused Dean to worry about his brother and unborn nieces and nephews. Sam glanced at the untouched food and his growling stomach echoed in the room.
"You need to eat, Sammy." Dean grabbed the cold food and walked out the door after making sure Sam was following. They made their way to the kitchen. "Don't make me get Bay after you."
Sam smiled and sat down at the kitchen table. His niece has been helping look after him ever since he told everyone the truth. She won't leave Sammy alone until he's taken care of himself, whether it's eating or just getting some rest. Dean threw out the cold food and began preparing something fresh. Sam was leaning back in his chair, listening to the soothing sounds the rain offered when he felt a small movement within his stomach. He tuned out the rain and waited for it to happen again. Another small movement brought a smile to his lips. His babies were moving inside him and he couldn't describe the feeling. Dean noticed his little brother smiling down at his abdomen.
"Everything okay?" Dean asked, bringing Sam's attention to him. Sam's smile only grew bigger as he was excited to share the news with his brother. "Something wrong, Sammy?"
"They moved, Dean." Sam said, unable to hide his excitement. When Dean moved closer, Sam grabbed his hand and placed it on his stomach. A look of confusion covered Dean's face, until another movement within Sam's stomach could be felt.
Dean watched Sammy's abdomen in awe. Cas and Bay entered the kitchen, only to stop in confusion. Sam and Dean quickly explained that the triplets were moving, sparking Castiel's and Bay's excitement. Soon everyone was gathered around Sammy, each taking turns to feel the babies moving around. However, as exciting as it all was, they were all still well aware that something was missing. Gabriel and Lucifer. Sam wished they were there to share this exciting and wondrous moment with him.
