Are We Meant to Be?

Chapter 15

It had now been 6 months since I started dating Sam. I wanted to do something really nice for him on our anniversary. I got up early so I would have at least an hour before the guys got up. I went into the kitchen and cooked us all breakfast. I made some eggs and bacon, plus some toast. The guys came in with a shocked look on their faces.

"Morning."

"Morning. That smells amazing Miranda. I didn't know you could cook."

"Yeah. I actually like to sometimes, I just couldn't afford more than frozen meals so I haven't cooked in a while. There's some coffee over there if you want any by the way."

"Thanks." I grabbed 3 plates and dished up the eggs and bacon. We all sat down and ate. They loved it.

"Why the sudden interest in cooking breakfast, Miranda?" Sam asked. Did he really not know?

"It's been exactly 6 months since we started dating. I wanted to make you breakfast."

"I knew that. I just didn't know that's why you were making breakfast."

"Yep. That's why." I said with a smile.

"Well, thanks babe. It was delicious."

"You're welcome." I said before giving him a quick kiss on the lips. I took our plates to the sink and washed them.

"Hey Miranda, we found a case last night. You ok here?" Dean asked in the afternoon.

"Yeah. Just promise me you'll both be safe."

"I promise. We'll be back in a while. If you get tired, go on to bed. We'll tell you we made it back if you're asleep."

"Ok. Thanks Dean." I sat on the couch and watched tv for hours. It was boring. There wasn't anything on. I was getting tired and it was about 10:30. I decided to call it quits and went to bed. I fell asleep for a while. I was woken up about midnight by Dean.

"Hey. Miranda." I heard Dean say quietly.

"Hey. You guys make it back ok? You guys both in one piece?"

"Yeah. We are both fine. Sam wants to talk to you about something though." I groggily got up and went out with him. Sam was waiting on the couch. I sat next to him.

~Sam's POV~

"What's up?" She asked

"I want to talk to you about you and this baby."

"Please tell me you aren't changing your mind." She said.

"No, no, I'm still staying with you and this kid. What I want to say is that I want to prove to you that I will never leave you and that I am gonna be the father of this child. I want to prove that there is stability in this relationship. I don't want to ever leave you Miranda. I love you so much. I want to be with you forever." I paused as I got down on one knee. "I want to forever have you be mine. Will you marry me?" I asked as I opened the little box and showed her the ring.

The look on her face was priceless. She had tears in her eyes that were dripping onto her shirt. She sat with her head in her hands and just cried. She didn't look up to give me a yes or a no. I closed the little box I was holding.

"Baby. What's wrong?" I asked.

"I just love you to death. I'm so happy. Just the fact you love me enough to propose is astounding."

"So is that a yes?" I asked

"Yes, yes, yes, a million times yes." She replied through the tears. I put the ring on her finger and she stared at it in awe.

"Sam, how could you even possibly afford this? It's gorgeous."

"Ask Dean." I replied.

"Dean, how did he afford this?"

"Just don't worry about it." Dean responded. She left it at that for the time being and proceeded to give me a huge hug. She gave me a slow passionate kiss before we both sat down on the couch, hand in hand.

"I've never seen a more beautiful hand." I joked as I twiddled with the ring on her finger. It got late and I headed to bed. "Goodnight babe."

"Goodnight." She replied after I kissed her.

~Miranda's POV~

"Dean, I'm serious tell me, why won't he explain how he afforded it? And what does it have to do with you?" I asked once Sam went to bed.

"I used my money ok?"

"You mean you used a scam credit card right?"

"No. None of the cards had enough money to pay for this much at a time without the company getting suspicious."

"Then what did you use?"

"I have a credit card that goes straight into my real account. My 'Dean Winchester' account. Sam has hardly any money in his but somehow I managed to get enough in mine. I worked some magic at the banks and wired some money to my account from the scams, and I had some in there to begin with. I used it to buy the ring. It's no big deal."

"That is a big deal, Dean. You used your life savings to buy this for me. You never had to or needed to do that. I know Sam wouldn't leave me and I could have waited to marry him. I'm paying you back."

"No you aren't. You are not paying me back for this, and neither is Sam. I mean it. Let it go. Just let me do this for you. You two deserve to be together forever. Waiting wouldn't have helped because hunting doesn't provide any income anyways."

"Fine. At least tell me how much it was."

"$3,250." He said cautiously.

"Jeez, Dean."

"I know it's a lot. I'm serious. Don't worry about it. Oh and just so you know, we weren't on a hunt. We were buying this and doing the mess with the bank. Then we waited around for you to go to bed."

"Ok. Well, I'm going back to bed. Goodnight Dean."

"Goodnight." He said before I headed to my room. After a while, I got up and decided to talk to Sam about all the money stuff.

I knocked on his door. He opened it.

"Hey I wanna talk to you."

"About what?" He asked as I closed the door behind me."

"The ring and how he paid for it and everything. I really want to pay him back. That's not his cost to pay."

"I know. I want to too, but I don't have that kind of money." I grabbed the laptop from the desk. "What are you doing?" He asked. I pulled up my bank's website and logged in. I had enough to pay him back with and would still have money in my account. I would only have a couple thousand bucks, but I didn't need it.

"Baby, don't." Sam said.

"Why not? It's not something he should pay for. It's our job to find the money. Plus, he is the reason we are together. He helped us. The least we can do is pay him back."

"Alright. I just don't want you spending your money on your own ring."

"It's fine babe. I'm not paying for that apartment anymore so I don't need it all anyways. We'll use the scams for the baby stuff and we'll still have a couple thousand of backup money."

"Ok. If you're sure."

"I'm sure. Tomorrow, can we go out and get the cash out? Then when we get back, you can distract Dean and I'll put it somewhere he will find it."

"Sounds like a plan. Now let's get some sleep. Goodnight honey."

"Goodnight Sam. I love you."

"I love you too." He said before we shared a long and perfect kiss where we finally felt like we were right where we should be. I went back to my room and went to sleep.
