Baby Daddy (S U P E R N A T U R A L fanfic)

Will you be the Father of My Child? Pt.2

Dean nodded slowly then took a sip of beer.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that alone." I waved my hand at him dismissively at his sad tone.

"That doesn't matter. It's in the past - you're here now... I was freaked about it at first but it took me all of three seconds to realise that I was going to have a baby. There was no way I was going to give my child away, I know how that feels, and I didn't want that for her, or him. I hadn't slept with anyone since you, so that part was easy to figure out. Sometimes I try to think of the future and I just... I don't know. I never really thought of the future before now, and I'll have to look after someone - but I'm kinda excited." I said, shrugging and taking another bite from my burger. Dean nodded again and continued eating. After a few minutes of silence he gave a breathy laugh.

"What?" I asked, already smiling.

"Bobby would either hate or love that i got his daughter pregnant."

"Why? Are you a player?" I asked, my eyebrow raising.

"I am... I was... you know how it is. Being a hunter. Every story starts the same. All I've learned is that your family can be used against you and I never wanted anybody I cared about to get hurt - hell, I can barely keep Sammy out of trouble let alone myself and then a wife and kids?" He shook his head, taking another beer bottle from the cardboard casing. "I tried that once. It didn't work out. Between the apocalypse every Sunday and Amara almost destroying the earth -" he threw his arms up in exasperation. I frowned.

"Should I know what you're talking about?"

"I'm glad you don't." Still confused as to what he was talking about i made a mental note to ask him later. I let my eyes wonder up to the beautiful sky. Being so far from the town lights meant that the stars were visible, even if the new day was almost pain us. Biting my milkshake straw I turned to him, something occurring to me.

"I'm sorry I swore at you... and yelled at you and tried to seduce you. You must think I'm some weird hormonal nut job." Dean shrugged casually.

"People do things without thinking when they're upset." I smiled gently, crumpling up the foil my burger was in and putting it in the makeshift rubbish bag. Wiping my hands on my jeans I spoke softly.

"You seem like a good guy Dean Winchester. Kind. But, as much as I want to, we can't stay here forever and there is a reason I tracked you down so - I need to know where we stand." Dean looked at me uneasily before his gaze returned to his bag of fries. My heart sank slightly but I smiled.

"Look I get it. I do, I promise. I didn't expect anything from you. If you don't want this then... that's your choice and I've made peace with it. I just needed to tell you and now I can skip town, but if there was any chance that I could give my child a father, I had to at least try." Dean dusted his hands off on his jeans and wiped his mouth before he turned to fully face me, his hands open as he thought.

"Megan I didn't have a good example of what a father should be. The only person I had was Bobby.... my father didn't... I can't be a good-" he stopped his eyes becoming glassy. "- I'm terrified." He finally finished, his chin trembling slightly. I took one of his hands in mine, feeling hopeless. "You're carrying our child and I can't ignore that. And I don't want to. I don't know how this will work between us but it will work. I want to be there for the baby... and for you. I can't promise you a whole lot more than what I have now, which is basically nothing but I can promise you I'll be there." When he finished I shook my head, trying to clear it.

"What are you saying?" I whispered confused at how this convocation had turned out. He wasn't leaving?

"That... I'm in. Megan I don't want to be like my father. I think we should raise this baby together." My eyebrows shot up. I didn't know what I was expecting - but this? I instantly felt bad for pushing him to feel sorry for me and found myself holding into his arm.

"I didn't mean to force you into this - into anything you don't want to do. I'm not expecting a relationship from you and I certainly don't want to trap you into a family you didn't ask for - I guess I didn't really think it through I was just hellbent on finding you and telling you about the baby because, well you know why, but it's just I never thought about what would happen to us, again if there even is an us and I'm completely ok if there isn't -"

"- Megan stop. We'll make it work." He said, squeezing my hand back. As his tears dried up mine fell, a weight that had been on my chest for a long time finally lifting. He wanted to make it work.

"One step at a time?" I asked, my voice low. Dean smiled a little, tilting his bottle towards my foam cup.

"Baby steps." I laughed once, hitting my milkshake cup against his beer bottle and taking a well deserved sip.

"And one more thing. You are never driving my car again." He said, his expression slightly horrified.
