All You Did was Save my Life

Downhill

            Several weeks had passed since Gabriel had told Sam about their child. In that time they had not had a moment to rest. The first obstacle had been telling Dean who had been more disturbed about his brother sleeping with the Trickster than anything else. The next obstacle had been the insane cases they had gotten lately; from entering an asylum to Sam being body swapped to going back in time to stop Anna. The final obstacle was the reason Sam was tied up in the panic room going through detox for the second time.

            "Here, eat this," Ellen said, placing a bowl down in front of Gabriel.

            "I'm not hungry," Gabriel mumbled, curling further in on himself.

            "You gotta eat something sweetie," Ellen said, "You need to keep your strength up." At that moment, a scream echoed from downstairs and Gabriel squeezed his eyes shut.

            "He'll be okay," Ellen said quietly, "Dean's down there with him and you know Dean won't let anything happen to his brother." Gabriel nodded, but didn't say anything, so Ellen decided to try again.

            "Do you want to go outside with the others?" she asked, "I'm sure Jesse would love for you to come out there."

            "I can't," Gabriel murmured, "I need to stay here. Close to Sam."

            "Sweetie you know he's going to be okay," Ellen said gently.

            "But what if he's not Ellen?" Gabriel said, "He's going to feel awful when all this is over. What if it's too much for him?"

            "He'll be fine Gabriel," Ellen assured him, "I know you're scared, but you need to try and relax, okay? It's not good for the baby."

            "I know," Gabriel replied, "I just wish this was all over." Ellen rested a hand on his back as Gabriel laid his head down and waited for the screaming to stop.
