The Kids Are Alright (3x02)

~A week after The Magnificent Seven.~

"I can't believe she's two weeks old now. She's grown so much." Dean said as he stared down at his baby girl, Lynx, who laid in her crib asleep.

"Dean, she's only gain...what...three ounces since she was born. She hasn't gotten that big." Shia said amusingly with an eyebrow raised.

"She's grown a lot to me." Dean said as he reached down to touch Lynx's finger, she quickly grabbed his finger and held on to it. "We make beautiful children, Shia. We should settle down and make some more." Shia stared at Dean and smiled, he was actually considering to quit the hunting gig and have a normal life. That was a nice thought, yes, but what about what will happen in eleven months? The death of Dean Winchester is what will happen. Shia didn't want to think about but it hung in the back of her mind. She's trying really not to be mad at Dean but it's hard. What he did was selfish, and reckless. And it killed Shia to think her baby will grow up with out a father.

"Babe, you still livin'?" Dean asked as he watched his fiancée stare into space.

"Uh, yeah, I was just thinking about something." Shia said softly as she glanced at her baby open her mouth as she slept. 'She even sleeps like her father.' Shia thought with a quiet giggle she let out.

"Okay, really, what are you thinking about?" Dean asked with an almost annoyed tone.

"Look at the way she's sleeping, look familiar?"

"Well, I'll be damned. She's so much like Sam." Dean chuckled. Shia shook her head.

"No, you idiot. You sleep like that, but I guess Sam does too. It must be a Winchester thing." Shia mumbled as she crossed her arms and walked over to the rocking chair.

"Dad would have loved her." Dean said as he thought about John Winchester.

"How do you know that? He could be calling us idiots for even having her."

'Take care of the baby, Dean.'

"No, he would have loved her."

"You really think so?"

"No, I know so."

Shia smiled at Dean when he said those words as he looked down at his child, the love he had for Lynx was an unbreakable love. Dean would do anything and everything for her, just to know she's safe. "So, what's the deal? What's going on? We leave in the morning?" Shia asked as she stood to walk over to Dean.

"No, I think we should stay another week or so." Dean said as she motioned for him and Shia to leave the room.

"Do you know where we'll be going next?" Shia said as she made her way to the room her and Dean shared.

"I don't know, baby. I'm sure Sam is thinking of a million places to go." Dean said as he sat down on the bed and laid back.

"Yeah, I'm sure." Shia said as she quickly changed to shorts and a tank top, she was getting ready for bed.

~Two Weeks Later~

Sam and Shia was sitting at a table in a generic diner while Lynx laid in her car seat, she's a month old now and she's gotten a little longer and a tad bit bigger. Sam was working on his laptop and talking on his phone. Dean was nowhere to be seen. Sam looked a bit frantic.

"You look like a guilty dog, Sam." Shia mumbled as she looked around for Dean.

"What do you mean you don't think it will work, Bobby? It's a demon-dispelling ritual. Well, maybe we got the translation wrong. Look, we can't just let Dean fry in hell while we- ... Well, there's got to be something that w-. Oh, ah, yeah, no, ah, I I gotta go. Uh. Okay. Never mind." Sam said as he hung up the phone quickly. Shia looked down and grinned to herself.
