All You Did was Save my Life

The Fall

Note: This is the end of season five. Gabriel is about six and a half months along and Jamie is 7-8 months old.

            Dean stalked out of the building and headed towards the Impala.

            "Dean?" he heard a voice say, but he ignored it.

            "Dean?" Bobby said again as he and Cas followed the hunter, "What happened? Where's Sam?"

            "Sam's gone," Dean said gruffly, "He couldn't fight it and Lucifer took him." Bobby and Cas stared at him in shock. Cas stepped forward hesitantly and wrapped his arms around Dean.

            "I'm sorry," the angel said.

            "It's fine," Dean said as Cas pulled back, "It's all going to be fine."

            "Dean, what are you planning to do?" Bobby asked.

            "I don't know yet," Dean admitted, "But I'm doing to fix it."

            "Dean you can't save him," Cas said.

            "I can try!" Dean shouted, "I'm not leaving him alone to deal with this!"

            "Dean-"

            "Don't Cas," Dean said shortly, "Just don't, alright? I just need a minute with Sam. Go with Bobby back to the boys."

            "I'm not going back without you," Cas protested, "What do I say to them about Sam? What do I tell Gabriel?" Dean paused with his hand on the door handle.

            "Tell them I couldn't save him," he said, getting in the Impala and driving off. Cas and Bobby watched him go before Bobby rested his hand on Cas' shoulder.

            "Come on," Bobby said.

            "We can't just leave him here," Cas said.

            "We're not, come on," Bobby assured him. Cas turned and followed after the hunter, wondering what they could possibly do to stop what was about to happen.

            Dean drove into the cemetery where he could see his two brothers already stood on the battlefield.

            "You can't be here Dean!" Michael called as Dean stepped out of the Impala.

            "Adam if you're in there I'm sorry," Dean said.

            "Adam's long gone Dean, just like you will be if you don't leave right now," Michael replied.

            "What are you gonna do? Kill me? That doesn't seem very angel-y," Dean said, "I need to talk to Sam." He turned to Sam, but could tell it was really Lucifer he was facing.

            "Sorry, Sam's not available right now, call back later," Lucifer said.

            "Sam if you can hear me then I'm sorry," Dean said, "Cause I can't do what you asked me to. I can't just away and leave you to these assclowns."

            "Oh Dean, you don't really think you can stop this, do you?" Michael asked.

            "There's nothing to stop cause you two won't be fighting," Dean said, "You aren't tearing my brother apart just cause you're pissed at yours." Michael opened his mouth to respond, but another voice interrupted before be could.

            "Hey! Assbutt!" Cas shouted, throwing a bottle at Michael who vanished in a ball of flames.

            "Assbutt?" Dean questioned, looking at the angel who shrugged.

            "You got your minute," Cas said.

            "Castiel, did you just Molotov my brother with holy oil?" Lucifer asked and Cas opened and closed his mouth a few times, lost for what to say. Lucifer snapped is fingers and, before Dean could stop him, Cas had literally exploded before his eyes. Dean stared at the spot the angel had been standing and realized that if he didn't walk away from this Ben and Jamie would be losing both parents. He turned back to face Lucifer who stood smirking at him.

            "Aw, poor Dean," he taunted, "Lost his mommy, lost his daddy, lost both his brothers, and now he's lost his angel. You've pretty much got no one left. Oh wait, I guess I'd better take care of you." He flicked his wrist and Bobby fell to the ground, eyes unseeing.

            "No!" Dean shouted. He charged at Lucifer, but with a twist of the hand he caused Dean to fly backwards. Dean could hear Lucifer walking towards him, but he didn't turn around. Instead, he pulled the rings out of his pocket and threw them on the ground. The earth opened up and Lucifer took a couple steps back. Dean rolled over and stood, facing the former archangel.

            "You won't win Dean!" Lucifer shouted.

            "Come on Sammy!" Dean called, ignoring Lucifer, "Fight him! I know you're in there!" Lucifer took a couple steps forward and brought his fist down against Dean's cheek. He repeated the motion over and over. Lucifer had him backed against the Impala as Dean looked up at him through swollen eyes.

            "It's okay Sammy," he croaked, "I'm not leaving you." That's when something shifted. One minute, Dean was staring up at his brother's face, but seeing Lucifer; and the next Sammy was staring back at him.

            "Don't worry Dean," he said, "I can do it." He backed away slowly and moved towards the pit.

            "Sam!" a voice called and he saw Michael had returned, "You can't stop this Sam!" He continued his way towards the pit and Michael rushed towards him. Just as Sam was about to make the jump Michael grabbed his arm and they both started to fall. Dean watched as the hole vanished, leaving him on the surface and both his brothers in the pit.

            Back at Singer Salvage, Gabriel awoke with a start, one hand flying to his stomach as he screamed.
