Red String - ABO Au - Destiel and Michifer

Chapter 50

Sam's nose twitched as something tickled it, he felt comfortable right now, warm, surrounded by warmth like morning sunlight, and surrounded by the warm smell of spring grass and chocolate, a weight on his chest that he welcomed, long legs tangled with someone else's and the young Alpha felt content for the first time since presenting.
It was as if some instinctive part of him that was always restless was finally at ease. His mind whispered mate and omega as The Winchester opened his eyes. Squinting as sunlight filtered through curtains, the window opened a little to let the crisp spring air in.
The warm body on his twitched and groaned grumbling about their back hurting and their wings being asleep.

Sam jolted from his sleep haze with a start at realizing it was Gabriel that he had fallen asleep with.
"Oh I-I'm so sorry Gabriel I-"

"Don't Apologize. You're warm." The older Alpha grumbled as he sat up with a hiss, his wings sluggish and he forced them to move off the teen
"Thank you Sam. I needed the company." Gabriel stretched and stood rolling his shoulders and flexing his wings to try and wake them up "I am the one that's sorry for crying and snorting all over you."

"It's not a problem Gabriel. You needed to just, let the emotion out before it built up and caused you further heartache" Sam rationalized as he always seemed to do.

Gabriel wiped the drool from his chin and went about picking a new outfit out for the day
"If you want Samoose, you can head to your room and change. I'll meet you at breakfast." The blonde smiled over his shoulder

The floppy haired Winchester hummed as he swung his legs over the large bed and stretched his arms over his head with a grunt
"I want to see Dean first. See if he's feeling any better. He did skip dinner and nearly threw up when we were talking in the parlor."

"That is a good idea. Just let the gaurd at his door know you're his brother, it should be fine."

Sam smiled at Gabriel who gave him a nod before heading to his private bathroom to change.
The middle Winchester made his way to Dean's room, remembering the way from when Dean had shown him briefly. There was Benny, an Alpha gaurd that Sam remembered from back home. He remembered their father had insisted a few human guards come along to hold ensure Dean transitioned smoothly and was treated properly as promised.
"Good morning." Sam spoke to the gaurd as he set his shoulders and met the other human's eyes. Sam was a mere inch or two shorter than the burly man, but he felt in his knees that would be changing soon

"Your Highness." Benny bowed with respect

"I would like to see my brother. Is he awake?"

"I am not sure Prince. But you're welcome to check." Benny stepped to the side to allow Sam to enter to which Sam gave the gaurd a kind smile and quietly entered his brother's room.
The room wreaked of stress, and it was almost overpowering.
Sam looked around and saw Dean, buried in blankets upon blankets sleeping rather restlessly. A whimper escaped his brother's throat as Sam approached, the younger Prince reached forward and gently shook his brother's shoulder to wake him from his nightmares
"Dean?"

Dean popped straight up with a gasp, green eyes wide, hands shaking as his head whipped every which way to get a look at his surroundings through the haze of sleep in his eyes
The Omega pulled a blanket closer to his chest, running a hand through his sweat soaked hair and blinked at Sam, swallowing heavily
"Sammy? What the hell you doing in here?"

"I came to check on you-" Sam paused, nose twitching at the stink of distress emitting from his older brother, it mingled with the faint smell of what he remembered as Chuck, and something else he couldn't place. His eyebrows furrowed as he looked around noticing the excess of blankets and pillows, along with Castiel's coat that littered Dean's bed.
As the teen opened his mouth to say something he sneezed

Dean cracked a grin and grabbed his robe patting Sam's shoulder
"I'm alright. Promise. Just a bad dream." He slipped his feet into his slippers frowning and he left the warmth of his nest, his bed rather.

"Dean are you nesting?"

"What? Pfft no!" Dean scoffed tying his robe around him and glancing to the vary obvious nest "Is it obvious?" The older Winchester croaked

"Yeah Dean. It's obvious you're nesting. But it's a normal reaction to Omega's that have been subjected to traumatic experiences..."
Sam stated matter of factly as he hesitantly sat on the edge of Dean's bed
"Was the nightmare about your captivity?" Sam whispered pulling a pillow towards him, playing with a tassle on the corner of the silky pillow case

"It's not important Sam. It was just a bad dream." Dean said again looking at his reflection in the vanity mirror. The swelling on his cheek and eye were down significantly to hardly anything. His body seemed to be healing at a quick pace. He assumed it was because he was safe now, his body could relax and focus on having instead of fighting. But deep down he knew why he was actually healing quicker than usual. The two reasons combined scared him.

"Your scent has shifted a little." Sam continued ignoring what Dean had said "I can't quit place it. But it's familiar almost... Like how Kate's scent changed slightly when she was pregnant with Adam."

"How do you even remember that? You were four years old!" Dena hissed raising an eyebrow at his brother as he watched him closely in the mirror

Sam shrugged before his eyes widened and his head whipped to look at Dean. Even though the Omega's back was to him, their eyes locked in the mirror
"Dean." Sam's voice was quiet but firm. Dean's shoulders went rigid and he gripped the vanity where he stood. His eyes never leaving his brother's through the mirror
"Dean, are you-"

"Don't say it!" Dean yelled spinning around to look at Sam, tears threatening his eyes as he slammed his fist on the vanity making bottles and jars rattle "Don't you dare say it Sam." He spoked again his voice a mere whisper

"It's possible Dean. You were in heat, forced to stay that way for months... And you know that Omega's are more susceptible to pregnancy when in heat. That's the entire purpose of heats." Sam kept his voice calm, kept his scent calm. Dean was already stressed and in enough pain that Sam didn't want to make anything worse

"I can't be Sam. I-I can't be." Dean's voice cracked as he ran a hand down his face, the other absentmindedly rested on his stomach. The signs were there. He knew they were. He had been avoiding them since he got rescued a mer few days ago. But he'd had these symptoms for at least a month
"I can't be."

"But you might be." Sam added standing up, he set the pillow to the side and took a cautious step towards his brother. Before he could say anything more Dean growled, spun around and wiped everything off the vanity

"Son of a bitch!" The Prince screamed as the glass bottles of cologne and jars of various hair and skin products slammed to the floor with a crash of braking glass.
Dean held the sides of the wood, head hanging low as he tried not to let the tears come
"Sam I'm supposed to get married, I'm supposed to maintain peace. I can't be pregnant but-" Dean knew. He knew deep down what was true.

"You are though, aren't you?" Sam placed a hand hesitantly on his older brother's shoulders

Dean tried to keep it together as he whispered a simple
"Yes."
