“This is impossible.” (Y/n) said as she paced. Missouri watched her, unable to get a good reading on her. Her thoughts were going a mile a minute. “There’s no way I could be pregnant. There would have to be…” She stopped. Missouri looked up at her.

“(Y/n)?” She asked.

“Shit.” (Y/n) whispered. She turned to looked at Missouri with wide eyes and open thoughts. She didn’t want to utter the words aloud.

“Oh sweetie.” Missouri gasped. “How?”

“It was a moment of weakness.” (Y/n) said. “I have felt a strong connection to him ever since I met him. I don’t know why.”

“Maybe that friend Castiel can answer some questions for you.” Missouri suggest. (Y/n) shook her head. “Why not?”

“They aren’t answering me.” (Y/n) explained. “I just want to go home and now I have all of this.” She groaned and flopped down in a chair. Missouri watched her.

“You need to relax.” Missouri said. “Stress isn’t good for the baby.” Once Missouri said those words, (Y/n) realized it was happening. She had gotten pregnant with John Winchester’s baby. And now, Dean and Sam were going to have two half siblings, Adam and hers. That is, if she ever made it back to her time.

“What am I going to do?” (Y/n) asked quietly. She wrapped an arm around herself out of instinct.

What the hell was she going to do?

It was almost a month later before Missouri convinced her to leave the safe haven of the bookstore. (Y/n) had taken up reading the baby books that Missouri had in stock, not wanting to venture out and risk running into John. But she didn’t have to go out to see him. He came to her.

“Uh, hi. I’m looking for (Y/n).” John said one day. Missouri was doing inventory while (Y/n) hid in the back, reading her books. Missouri knew who this was. She also knew that (Y/n) needed to talk to him, but on her own terms.

“She’s a little busy right now.” Missouri said. “Can I take a message?”

“Um, can you just tell her that John came by and I wanted to ask her to have dinner?” John asked, sounding upset that (Y/n) wasn’t around. He wanted to see her. And she wanted to see him. Missouri took the message but after a few more days of (Y/n) staying cooped up in the building and not responding to John’s message, she took her to town.

“Missouri…” (Y/n) mumbled as she drove. Missouri shook her head.

“You need to start taking vitamins and getting things for the baby.” Missouri explained. “And this grocery store has the best cupcakes, which you need.” (Y/n) smiled some and nodded, allowing her boss and friend to take care of her.

(Y/n) stared longingly at the little baby clothes as they walked around. She didn’t want to start buy a lot of things for a few reasons. She didn’t know if she would be suck in the 80’s for the rest of her life and she didn’t want to have a whole bunch of baby things just left behind. And she wasn’t even sure if she was having a boy or a girl at this point.

“I got you these kind.” Missouri said, raising a couple bottles of vitamins. “We’ll try them out. They said they should keep morning sickness at a minimum…”

“(Y/n)?” Another voice asked. The two women turned to look at John standing there.

“John…” (Y/n) gasped.

“You never called me back.” John said. “I was starting to get worried you took off again.”

“No, no.” (Y/n) said, shaking her head. “I just…something big came up.” John stared at the bottles and other things in their cart. Things he remembered from when Mary was pregnant with Dean. His eyes widened and he was about to say something when Mary walked up with Dean.
