Always Keep Fighting (Jared Padalecki Fanfic)

Chapter 16

Here you go! A new chapter. Also please forgive me that what J2 said at the Saturn Awards isn't accurate. I can't find any video of them presenting the award, so I went with what I wanted. Love to all of you.

I was so excited, because I was finally dying. Never thought I would say that, but we were finally on the finale, and I was laying on the wet, Vancouver forest floor, covered in corn syrup and fake blood. It was nasty, but I was thrilled. I was lucky that Jared and I didn't get pregnant at the beginning of the season, because then I would have had to die sooner. Now, I can have my pregnancy, and they can somehow work it into the story to have me back after I have the baby. I heard the director call cut, so I popped up off the ground and went on the hunt for Jared. I found him in his trailer and he looked emotional. "Everything okay, baby?" I asked.

"I just realized how much I love you. Seeing you fake dead made me realize how much I need you in my life."

"Oh baby. I am not going anywhere, I promise. Alright?" I reassured.

"Okay. Let's get you cleaned up, and then home and in bed so we can think about how we're going to tell the fans," he suggested.

I nodded and headed to my trailer to clean this blood off of me and change into my comfy clothes and get home. The baby was making me really sick lately so I was feeling worse than I normally would at the end of a season. Jared came and grabbed me when the car got to set, and we were on our way home.

Jared and I had been planning this surprise for months and I was SO excited. Jared and Jensen were presenting Kripke with an award at the Saturn Awards, and I was going to go with them, in order to support Jared and to show my support for Kripke. His show changed my life in more ways than one, and I was showing enough that it would be obvious. It turned out that I also was nominated for Best Supporting Actress on a Television Program. I was super excited, and I knew Jared was freaking out enough for the both of us. I had gotten dolled up in one of my favorite maternity dresses, and Jared was looking good in his button up and blazer, so we were ready to go. When we pulled up to the red carpet, Jared looked at me and said, "I'm nervous. You?"

"I feel great. I'm healthy, the baby is healthy, and if people don't like it, well then too bad."

He grinned and got out of the car. He held his hand out for me to grab, and he helped me down from the car, and I could hear the shouts of the papparazzi. Jensen was out of the car after me, and the three of us looked at each other and we all took a deep breath and walked over to the carpet. Shouts were heard and everyone was taking pictures, but we just kept moving, so we wouldn't hold up the line.

Finally, inside and seated. Everyone was asking me about my pregnancy, and I just confirmed it for them, but wouldn't go any further. They were annoyed, but I was saving the true reveal for if I won tonight. If not, the announcement would go out tomorrow. I was sitting at a table with Jared, Jensen, Kripke, and all of our people. I was making small talk where I could but I couldn't seem to focus because I was getting nervous. Jared kept me grounded a little, but I was floating away at times. When they finally reached my award, it only made me more nervous to see the amazing Hayley Atwell standing at the mic. She was one of my idols, and it would make me even more thrilled to win the award. She stood there and waited for her cue, and then she began speaking. "All of these women play special roles in the shows they are on. Whether the sister to two famed hunters, or the support system in the zombie apocalypse, no one can deny that these women seriously kick ass. Here are the nominees for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Program."

The nominees were read off, and finally she was handed the envelope, and she said, "And the award goes to, Mrs. Kylie Padalecki, for her role in Supernatural." My jaw was open in shock, so I stood up in a daze and was passed around the table for hugs. I walked up onstage and was presented with my award and got a hug from Hayley. I walked up to the mic and said, "Hayley Atwell just hugged me!" People laughed and I continued, saying, "Okay. Before I start my thank yous, I am so happy to officially, officially announce that I am expecting a baby with my wonderful husband Jared. We kept it a secret for as long as we could and we both felt like now was the time. Now, I need to thank Mr. Eric Kripke, because his show changed my life before I was a part of it, and long after. Thank you to Jensen, Mark, and Misha for being wonderful people to work with everyday. Thank you to my stunning husband, Jared, for being my rock through everything. Finally, a huge thanks to the SPNFamily. You guys are the life blood behind what we do, and it wouldn't be as fun or as fulfilling without you. Thank you."

I walked off stage and when I got back to my seat, Jared planted a kiss right on my lips and I had to sit down before I passed out from the excitement. A few moments later, Jared and Jensen got up to leave, and I sat with Kripke and Co., and made small talk. Finally, Jared and Jensen came out and they were grinning like complete idiots. I knew they were so happy to have the chance to present Kripke with this award, and I'm sure Kripke was just as excited to recieve it from them. "Twelve years ago, I got a call from my agent about a role. The character's name was Sam Wincester and he was a hunter. Twelve years later, I am thrilled to say that Sam Winchester is my best friend. He has helped me through things, and he even introduced me to my wife. The only way that could have happened is because Eric Kripke wrote him," Jared started.

"Twelve years ago, I got a call from David Nutter, telling me he had found a great role. His name was Dean Winchester and he was a hunter. I left Vancouver to read for him and he has changed my life in more ways than one. He has given me a whole new family, that I couldn't be more greatful for. The only way that could have happened is because Eric Kripke wrote him," Jensen continued.

"Around the same time, I walked into an audition room, to a younger version of the man standing next to me. We talked, and I found out that he's a Cowboys fan, and that he had worked previously on Days of Our Lives. I didn't know that he would be a groomsman at my wedding, or that his daughter would become my surrogate niece. He stands next to me today, literally, a brother," Jared added.

"I walked into the same room, and saw a younger version of this goofball sitting there. We talked, and I found out that he is also a Cowboys fan, and that he had already played a character named Dean. I didn't know that he would be a groomsman at my wedding, or that his soon to be daughter or son will be my surrogate niece or nephew. He stands here with me today, still, the gassiest man I know," Jensen finished.

Everyone laughed and I was doubled over because only Jared and Jensen could get away with that. "We are both thrilled to present this award to the man who created the best twelve years of our lives and brought both of us a family that we never could have asked for, but are so thankful for," Jared said.

"Please join us in a round of applause for Mr. Eric Kripke," Jensen finished.

We all broke out into applause, and he stood up and walked up onto the stage. He said his peace, and soon after, the show ended, and we were all tired enough to be ready to go home. I knew my phone was going to be blowing up with text messages and such, but I put my phone on do not disturb mode, and went home to sleep.
