Are We Meant to Be?

Chapter 12

I was laying in bed just thinking about what Sam had said. The thoughts kept flooding my mind. "Would he really never leave me? Would he still love me when he found out my secret? Should I tell him? Should I tell Dean first?" I asked myself. I settled on telling Dean first tomorrow and seeing what Dean said. I tried to fall asleep, but it took a good couple hours before I did.

I got up in the morning, said good morning to Sam accompanied by a kiss.

"Hey Sam, would you mind if I talked to Dean alone for a bit? I just need to talk to him about something."

"Yeah. Go ahead." Dean followed me into my room.

"What's up Miranda?"

"Ok. I have a big problem. I'm worried Sam is gonna leave me once he finds out my secret. It's why my husband left me."

"What's your secret?" He asked fearfully.

"Ummm." I started. I was scared to tell him too.

"It's ok. You can tell me. I promise no matter how bad it is, I won't hate you or kick you out, and I'll keep it between us if you want."

"I'm pregnant, Dean."

"What?"

"It's my ex's. I took the pregnancy test earlier the week you guys showed up to the bar. A day or 2 after I took the test which showed positive, my ex just left and basically just changed his mind about wanting kids. I wasn't gonna give up my child to be with him so he left." I said with tears flowing from my eyes.

"Hey, hey, don't cry. It's ok. I'm happy for you. You get to be a mom."

"I'm just scared to tell Sam. I don't want him to not love me because of it. I don't want to lose him. He's the first guy to seem like he truly cares."

"Let me see what I can do without straight up  telling him. I may be able to see how he would react."

"Ok. Sorry to make you deal with all this."

"I'm happy you told me. I hope you know that if something happens with you and Sam, not that I think anything will, I will be here for this kid of yours even if he isn't." He stated. He was being so sweet.

"Thanks Dean." He nodded. I laid on my bed for a while.

~Dean's POV~

"Hey Sammy."

"Where's Miranda?"

"She was really tired and wasn't feeling great so she wanted to lay down for a bit longer."

"Is she ok?"

"Yeah she'll be fine."

"I have a question about you two if you don't mind me asking."

"Go ahead." Sam replied.

"You love her to death right?"

"Yeah."

"Would you love her even if she had a huge secret that would change all of our lives?"

"Dean, why would you ask that?"

"Just answer the question. Would you still love her and still be with her?"

"Yes. Of course. I would never leave her and never stop loving her. It doesn't matter what she does or did."

"Ok. Good. Then I think you should go talk to her. She's not actually sick. She has something important to tell you."

"Ok." He said confused. We both walked to her room.

"Miranda, it's ok. You can tell him." She had tears in her eyes.

~Sam's POV~

"Baby, what's wrong? You can tell me anything." I told her.

"Sam, it's a big secret. It's gonna change all of our lives forever." I started getting worried.

"It's ok. Just tell me."

"I'm pregnant, Sam."

"What?!" I half asked and half shouted. What the heck was going on?

"It's my ex's. The week you guys were at the bar, it had been a long week for me. I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I told my husband and he basically decided he didn't want kids so he left because I wouldn't give up having children for him." She said as tears fell from her eyes. I didn't know how to respond. I couldn't even tell how I felt. "Sammy, say something." I just got up and walked out the door. I went outside to clear my head. I didn't know what to do or how to feel.

~Dean's POV~

"Dean." She fearfully said.

"He'll be back. He just needs to think about this and process it. He'll be back and talk to you. He told me he would still love you and never leave you no matter what this secret was."

"You sure he'll be back?"

"Yes. I'm sure he's just outside clearing his head and figuring stuff out."

"I hope so."

"Do you want me to go get him to come back in?"

"No. Let him have his time."

"I'm sorry he just ran out. I promise he still cares. I'm gonna talk to him, but I'm not gonna force anything on him ok?" She nodded. "Do you need anything?"

"I'm ok. Thanks." She said before she laid back down and tried to fall asleep to avoid thinking about it.

~Sam's POV~

Miranda was pregnant? I didn't know if I was ready for a kid. Hunting was a dangerous job and I wasn't around for very long periods of time to where I could be there for her child. I wasn't father material. At the same time though, she needed me there for her and that kid needed me as a dad. I just didn't know what to do. Suddenly I heard the door open behind me. Dean appeared next to where I was sitting on the curb.

"Whatcha thinking?" Dean asked.

"Lots of things. Hunting is such a dangerous job and we aren't around enough for me to be there for a kid. She needs me though and that kid needs me too. I don't know what to do."

"I told her I wouldn't come out and convince you of anything, but I have an idea."

"What is it?"

"What if we both raise the kid? If she's ok with it, we could both be there for the kid. On hunts, if and only if they are easy to manage, one of us could stay with her and the kid, and the other would go. If it's a tough hunt then we both go. We just have to explain how dangerous hunting is and everything to her."

"That could work. Do you mind if I just talk to her. Not to exclude you, but I want to discuss this with her by myself."

"Of course."
