All You Did was Save my Life

They're Coming

            Another month passed and Castiel’s baby bump continued to grow, though he looked farther along than four months. The bump was something that greatly fascinated Ben. At first he was confused as to why Cas was getting bigger, but now he found it interesting to know his baby brother or sister was growing in there.

            “However, not everything about Cas’ pregnancy was good. Dean and Sam had noticed that Cas seemed to be getting exhausted and slowing down a lot. One day, after finishing a hunt where all Cas had had to do was research in the motel room, the four of them were back in the room for one last night before moving on. Ben was asleep on Sam’s bed while Cas had lied down on his and Dean’s to ‘rest’. However, when Dean looked over five minutes later, the angel was fast asleep.

            “What’s going on with him?” Sam asked his brother.

            “I don’t know,” Dean admitted, “He’s an angel, he’s not supposed to sleep.”

Before Sam could respond, Cas had sat bolt upright on the bed, eyes wide and frightened.

“Cas? What is it? What’s wrong?” Dean asked as he and Sam hurried over to him.

“Dean,” Castiel gasped, grabbing Dean’s jacket, “Dean, they’re coming!”

“Who is Cas?” Sam asked.

“The angels,” Cas said.

“Angels?” Dean clarified, “But how? I thought those things you carved into our ribs stopped them from finding us?”

“They do,” Cas said, “They can feel the baby’s Grace and they’re following it here.”

“What can we do to stop them from finding us?” Sam asked.

            “Nothing,” Cas said, “They’re here.” The door burst open and two angels stood there. Cas got off the bed and attempted to stand, but stumbled and had to be steadied by Dean. Ben had woken when the door burst open and was now hiding behind Sam’s legs.

            “Castiel,” one of the angels growled.

            “Uriel,” Cas growled back, though his threatening stance was weakened by the fact that he was leaning heavily on Dean.

            “My how you’ve grown,” Uriel said sarcastically, “I hardly recognized you with that monster growing inside you.”

            “It’s not a monster,” Dean growled, “And you don’t have any business being here.”

            “We have every business being here,” Uriel snapped, “You and Castiel have created this demon spawn and it cannot be allowed to continue its existence.” Uriel and the other angel stepped forward and Dean pushed Cas behind him.

            “You touch him and I’ll rip your lungs out,” Dean growled and the angels stopped.

            “And how do you think you’ll be able to do that?” Uriel smirked. Dean stared for a moment before he too smirked. He dropped the angel blade Cas had slipped him out of his sleeve and Uriel’s smirk vanished.

            “Now I suggest you leave,” Dean said lowly, “And just remember this the next time you decide to come back.” The other angel vanished quickly, but Uriel stayed where he was.

            “You’re growing weaker aren’t you,” Uriel looked directly at Cas as he spoke, “That’s the spawn inside you draining your energy. It will continue to do that until you can barely move. That’s what Nephilim do, they make you think you’re dying, but you never really die.” He smirked at them and disappeared. As soon as he was gone, Sam and Dean turned to look at Cas.
