Sorry for the wait. I love seeing the reactions you all have to the stories in the reviews. I couldn't help but laugh at a couple. I'm really glad you enjoy this story. Thank you all again. Still need baby name ideas.
*Month Six*
Lucifer and Gabriel had stayed in the same open field since the day they found out about Sam's pregnancy. During their time there, Lucifer had wanted to ask Gabriel why he had left in the first place. He never had the courage to do so, but time was flying by.
"Gabriel?" Lucifer spoke softly. He wanted to be there with Sam, but he wanted Gabriel with them. He had to find out what had Gabriel so bothered about the situation. Once he was certain he had Gabriel's attention, he continued. "Why are we still here? We should be with Sam."
"You don't think I know that?" Gabriel faced Lucifer. He had known Lucifer wanted to question him about the situation from the moment they left. "I want to be there with Sam, and I know you do too. I can't face him, Luci."
Lucifer was taken by surprise by the hurt and sadness in Gabriel's voice. He had expected his little brother to be angry with him, but instead Gabriel was calm and honest.
"Why can't you face him?" Lucifer asked, moving closer to see Gabriel's face clearly. He decided to push his luck a little farther, hoping to not piss Gabriel off too badly. "You were able to face him after everything you've done to Sam and Dean. Why can't you face him now?"
"Do you remember when Dean and Cas were asking us about having kids of our own?" Gabriel asked, waiting for Lucifer's answer before continuing. Lucifer gave a quick nod yes. "Sam would have been three months pregnant then, and we told them we didn't want children. We said we weren't ready for children without another thought, right in front of Sammy. Can you imagine what he had to be feeling when we said that, Luci?"
Lucifer's shoulders slouched as he recalled that day. He remembered how Sam had ran out of the room after him and Gabriel shared their thoughts on having children. He realized how much that had to hurt Sam, how badly that must have torn him apart. If he had known about Sam's pregnancy, he wouldn't have answered so recklessly. Sure he wasn't ready for more children, but that wouldn't stop him from loving them all the same. And Lucifer knew Gabriel would love them as well, regardless what their answers were that day.
"We need to talk to Sam, Gabriel." Lucifer spoke up after a half hour of silence. This was no time for him or Gabriel to be sulking. They needed to be with Sam. "Let's go."
Sam was alone in the cabin. Dean, Cas, and Bay all went to a nearby park for a few hours, leaving Sam to relax for the time being. Sam was laying on the couch, eyes closed, trying to relax his aching body. His stomach looked like three watermelons were growing inside him, instead of babies. It was putting so much pressure on his back that he could barely walk without getting aches and pains shooting throughout his body. He was exhausted. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to make it the remaining four months, not counting this month. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard the flutter of wings enter the room.
"I'm fine, Cas." Sam said, keeping his eyes closed. The angel must have come to check on him. In Sam's opinion Cas should be with Dean and Bay, enjoying the beautiful day with them. "You can go back and enjoy your day. I'll call if anything happens."
"I'm not Cas, kid-o." Gabriel said, speaking softly. Sam bolted into a sitting position, immediately regretting moving so quickly. Pains shot through his back, causing him to hiss in pain. Gabriel and Lucifer sat on either side of Sam. "You okay? What's wrong?"
"I'm fine, just back pains." Sam took deeps breaths, slowly easing the pain away. Once the pain was gone he looked back and forth at Gabriel and Lucifer. "What are you doing here? I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"No, Sam, this is real." Lucifer was rubbing Sam's back to help ease the pain. He smiled, happy to see his hunter again. "We're really here, Sam."
Sam didn't know whether to be happy or angry. He should've been angry for the way they left him, but he was so happy and relieved that they were safe that he couldn't stop the tears that were threatening to fall. Hot tears flowed down his cheeks and he was smiling. He hugged each angel tightly, not wanting to let go.
"We came to talk, kid-o." Gabriel said, letting the small smile fade from his face. "I'm so sorry, Sam. We shouldn't have left like that. I've felt awful about it, and I was scared to face you."
"Why were you scared?" Sam asked, very confused. He didn't hide the confusion on his face. "Why couldn't you face me?"
"Because Luci and I both said we didn't want children yet while you were pregnant, Sammy." Gabriel looked down, staring at dusting floating around the ground. "I can't even imagine how you must have felt when we said that."
"If we had known we would've never said that." Lucifer spoke up, wanting to voice his opinion as well. If they had known of Sam's pregnancy their answers would've been different. Even if they weren't quite ready for kids, they still would love them unconditionally. "Regardless of what we said, we would still love our children. You should've told us, Sam, we wouldn't have been angry."
"I know, but I was still scared." Sam faced Lucifer. Of coarse he would be scared in a position like that. He feared they would leave, like they did when they found out. Now that he knew why, he felt more at ease. Knowing that they left for what they said in the past, and not about having kids, made Sam happy for an unknown reason. "I'm just happy you're here now."
Dean was sitting on a hard, uncomfortable park bench next to Castiel. They watched Bay play and interact with other children. They loved how energetic and how she was able to to quickly make friends. Dean found it quite surprising, seeing as Dean and Cas were not nearly as energetic or socially friendly as their daughter. Dean had wondered where Bay could've gotten the traits from. Bay was always happy to help others, and always willing to give something up if it were to make someone else happy. She was always living in her own little world, where nothing bad ever happened. Everything was perfect and pure in her mind. She is always able to see the good, where others would only see bad.
"She's a wonder, isn't she?" Hearing Cas pulled Dean from his thoughts. Castiel. Dean still couldn't believe he had his angle back, after everything that had happened. He expected he would never be able to see him again. "Dean, is everything okay? You're staring at me."
"Everything is fine, Cas." Dean wrapped his arm around Castiel's waist, pulling his angel closer to him. Everything was perfect in that very moment. "Besides, what's wrong with me staring at you this one time? You're always staring at me."
"I do not stare, Dean." Cas said, turning his face away to hide the blushing creeping its way to his cheeks. Dean would always find Castiel staring at him, but could you blame him? Dean was an amazing man, beautiful inside and out. "Is something bothering you?"
"No, I was just thinking about how perfect our daughter is." Dean admitted, his old self would've never admitted to that. He never thought he would ever have a family, other than Sammy. But he no longer cared about 'chick flick' moments. This was his amazing little girl he was thinking about. His and Castiel's daughter. "I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd ever have a daughter."
"Do you regret it?" Cas asked cautiously. He always feared Dean would change his mind about their daughter. He feared Dean would change his mind about him, suddenly become disgusted with the angel and Bay. "Being with me and having Bay?"
"Are you crazy, Cas?" Dean's shocked and hurt tone was enough to surprise Castiel. Dean pulled Cas's chin gently so they were making eye contact. "I will never regret being with you or having Bay. I wouldn't trade you or her to save the world. Our little girl and you are two of the most important people to me, and that will never change. If you ever doubt that, Cas, just look at our daughter and remember there's nothing I wouldn't do for you both. I would die a million times over if it meant keep the two of you alive. I love you, Cas, and I love Bay, more than anything including Baby."
Cas smiled and kissed Dean in excitement. He never thought anything would be more important to Dean than his car. He knew Dean was being completely serious.
"I love you too, Dean."
Night was falling by time Dean, Cas, and Bay arrived back at the cabin. Dean had to carry Bay inside because she fell asleep on the ride back. When they entered the cabin the found Sam asleep on the couch between Gabriel and Lucifer. Both archangels seemed to have one hand placed on Sam's stomach. Dean wanted to drag both angels out of the house and kick their asses, but then he seen the soft smile on Sam's face. His little brother was happy again, so he pushed his anger to the side. After finding out Sam had little chance to make it out alive in the end Dean found it best to let Sam be happy, no matter what it was that made him happy. Dean made his way to the room him and Cas were staying in. He laid Bay down, careful not to wake her, and tucked her in. Cas stood in the door way and watched as Dean tucked their daughter in.
"Are you alright with Gabriel and Lucifer being here?" Cas knew Dean would have anger burning inside him at the two archangels.
"Yeah, Cas." Dean smiled down at Bay before moving a stray strand of hair from her face. "As long as Sam is happy, I don't care if they're here. But if they ever leave my brother like that again, I'll kill the angel bastards." Dean now stood in front of Cas, holding the angel's hands in his own. "That I can promise."
It was around midnight when Sam woke up to his stomach growling and the triplets kicking to wake him. As painful as the hard kicks were, Sam couldn't help but smile. He had his lovers back there with him and his children were perfectly healthy.
"Alright, alright." Sam laughed softly to himself. He rubbed his stomach gently in an attempt to soothe the babies. "We'll get some food."
Sam carefully tried to stand, but found it quite difficult. Not only did he have two archangels sleeping on his shoulders but his huge stomach proved to be a problem. He always had difficult getting out of bed or simply standing up without help from Dean or Cas. While he struggled to stand Lucifer woke up at the feeling of his hunter moving.
"Sam?" Lucifer spoke in a whisper loud enough for Sam to hear. He rubbed the sleep from his eye before resting his gaze upon Sam. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Sam sighed, disappointed in himself for waking Lucifer when he looked so peaceful while asleep. He stopped struggling to stand to meet Lucifer's gaze. "I didn't mean to wake you, I was just trying to get to the kitchen. My stomach is too large to stand up on my own without a little bit of struggle."
Lucifer stood up and held his hand out to Sam. Sam took his hand and Lucifer helped pull him to his feet. Lucifer cringed at the sound of Sam's back cracking and popping as he stood up straight, but didn't question it. Lucifer figured it had to have something to do with Sammy's large stomach, and for sleeping for hours sitting up on the couch. He helped Sam into the kitchen, having him sit at the table.
"What will it be?" Lucifer asked, standing next to the counter. He wasn't going to let Sam stay on his feet that long, so he volunteered to make Sam whatever it was he was craving. He began to prepare waffles, fried pickles, and chocolate chip cookies at Sam's request. It only took him around fifteen minutes to prepare everything, and he served it to Sam before sitting across the table from the hunter. "Have your cravings always been this unusual from what you normally eat?"
"Yeah, they have." Sam laughed. Before we wouldn't he much sweets or fried food, he usually stuck with his 'rabbit food', as Dean called it. "I'm sure Gabriel would have fun with the sweets cravings."
"He would love it and go overboard with it." Lucifer smiled softly, watching Sam enjoy the food. He realized he was staring, but he didn't care. It had been awhile since he had seen his hunter. Lucifer had a feeling, one he couldn't explain, that he should enjoy looking at Sam while he could. He didn't want to bother Sammy with the feeling he had, so he kept quiet about it and pushed it to the side. "However, Gabriel does wish for the best for you."
