Work Text:
Sam’s sitting on one of the couches in the living room curled up under a blanket with a book in hand.
Although he’s making progress in his book, reading the words, turning the pages, he’s unable to follow the plot. His mind is somewhere else. It’s not focused on the story in his book, it’s focused on his future. His and Gabriel’s future.
“Hi, Samshine”, the sound of his husband’s voice snapps him out of his thoughts and back to now, “what are you reading?”. Gabriel rounds the couch and flops down beside him.
“I’m, not really sure”, Sam admits, getting a small chuckle out of his husband. He closes his book and puts it down on the coffee table in front of him. As he sits up straighter Gabriel lays his head down in his lap.
“You comfortable there?”, Sam asks with an amused smile on his lips. He reaches to brush his fingers through Gabriels soft, golden hair.
“Very”, Gabriel tells him. Sam chuckled softly at him. Gabriel closes his eyes and leans into Sam’s touch. How did he get this lucky?
He truly has it all. A big house and a loving husband, the only thing missing in their perfect family would be a child of their own.
And in only a few months they’ll have that too. Only thing is, Gabriel doesn’t know that yet.
This morning when Gabriel was at their brothers’ house helping Castiel out with some work business and Sam had just gotten back from one of his usual morning runs. Sam had decided it was a good time to take the test. He had considered waiting for Gabriel to get home, but decided he wanted to do it alone, just in case it was nothing.
He had been feeling weirdly nauseous for a few weeks before he started suspecting he might be pregnant. He had no other symptoms than the nausea, or so he had thought, until Dean had told him he was ‘acting like a girl’ and that if he didn’t know any better he would think Sam was pregnant. That interaction alone was the reason Sam took the pregnancy test this morning. And as it turns out, Dean was right, Sam’s pregnant. And now he has to tell Gabriel.
He isn’t scared about how he’s gonna react, they have been wanting children ever since they got married last year. It’s just the fact that after he says it out loud it’s gonna feel so much more real. And he wants this to be real, it’s just, it's a bit terrifying. But hey, his brother could do it, so so can he.
“Gabriel”, he says, still brushing his fingers through his hair.
“Yes, sweetheart?”, he asks, opening his eyes. Sam meets his husband's golden brown eyes with his hazel.
“You wanna know something?”, Sam asks, not really sure on how he should tell him he’s pregnant. Should he just say it outright?
“Of course”, Gabriel says, “I want to know everything you want to tell me”, he smiles up at Sam lovingly. Sam knows everythings gonna be alright but that doesn’t stop him from feeling nervous.
He takes a deep breath in before saying it out loud for the first time.
“I’m pregnant”.
Gabriel’s eyes widen slightly and the corners of his mouth go up.
“You serious?”, he asks, a surprised expression on his face.
“Yeah”, Sam says quietly, “I am”, he lets out a small chuckle, “I’m pregnant”. Gabriel’s surprised expression turns into one of delight.
He sits up, “you’re really pregnant”, he says, Sam nods in response.
“We’re gonna have a baby”, Gabriel states happily.
“Yeah, we are”, Sam says, feeling happy tears forming in his eyes, threatening to spill over. Gabriel puts his hand on Sam’s cheek.
“Hey, you okay?”, he asks, his voice soft with a hint of concern lacing it.
Sam nods, still smiling, “yeah, I’m alright”, he says, “just really happy, and a bit more hormonal”.
Gabriel chuckles softly, “I’m very happy as well”, he tells him, “and don’t worry about the hormones, it’s normal”.
“I know”, Sam says, “I’m just not used to it”.
Gabriel smiles lovingly at his husband, “I know, but we’ll figure it out”, he says before pulling Sam gently towards him. When he’s close enough he leans forward and their lips meet in a soft, intimate kiss.
“I love you”, Sam says as their lips part, he leans his forehead against Gabriels.
“And I you”, Gabriel says as he places another soft kiss on Sam’s lips.
Sam really has it all, everything he could wish for. Happiness, love and a family that brings him exactly that.
