Dean's Cowgirl /✔

Chapter Twenty-Five

I woke up feeling sick. I tossed Dean's arm off of me and ran down the stairs. I went into the bathroom and threw up, offering my insides to the toilet like a dark sacrificial ceremony. I rinsed out my mouth and went back upstairs since it was only seven. me and my family usually slept in until eight or nine. we didn't normally go to bed until about eleven or twelve. I walked back up the stairs, laying down by Dean who's face was very groggy and confused.

"what just happened?" Dean croaked.

"baby decided to sacrifice my insides." I said. he chuckled. I turned to glare at him and he stopped laughing. I laid down and went back to sleep. I would have to get ready for my party as soon as I woke up. the party started at lunch and ended just after supper. or for however long people stayed.

I put on my cut off shorts and baby blue tank top. then I put on some mascara and eyeliner. Dean was still sleeping and I usually did my makeup at me desk. so when I looked up to find him watching me, it wasn't really a surprise. I put my makeup away and brushed my hair. Dean got up from the bed and found a pair of jeans, slipping into them. I put on some socks just as he put on his t shirt. I went downstairs with Dean behind me and grabbed an apple. I kissed my mama on the cheek and she seemed surprised.

"congrats, mama." I said.

"what for?" she asked perplexed.

"you'll see." then I went to the door and put on my cowboy boots. Dean put on his cowboy boots and followed me outside. my dad had given him a pair since he had given me a ride home without hurting me. so now he wore them for working on the farm and he wore his biker boots everywhere else. I walked out to the barn, stopping to pet Kate, our black lab. she wagged her tail and followed us to the barn.

"so when are you going to teach me how to ride a horse?" Dean asked, petting Popcorn, my mare.

"soon." I said. once my belly started getting bigger, I wouldn't be able to ride for a while and I know I'm going to be pissed when it happens. I grabbed the ropes and banners and Dean helped me set them up. then I got the .22 rifles and set them out on the table with a box of bullets. each person would get to shoot one at time until the banners fell. then we would clear the table and bales out of the way to use the hard packed dirt as a dance floor. once the banners were set up I headed back inside with Dean on my tail once again, and found my mama.

"mama?" I got her attention. I smiled and she came towards me. I put my hand in hers and she saw the ring. her eyebrows wrinkled together. I looked up at dean smiling and when I looked back, her face had taken on surprised delight. she squealed and jumped up and down, clapping her hands. then she threw her arms around me and kissed my cheek several times. then she jumped as high as she could to wrap her arms around Dean's neck. he caught her in reflex and then grinned, hugging her back. she let go and grabbed my hand again.

"Joe!" mama hollered down the hall. my daddy came walking down the hall slowly.

"wha'd'ya hollerin' fer?" he said, drawling loudly. I had a little bit of that southern drawl.

"look at this!" mama grabbed my hand and yanked me towards my daddy. he looked at me hand, spotting the ring. his eyes widened and he looked up at mama. then he looked at me and Dean. he did a funny looking dance that he did whenever he was so happy he couldn't contain it. Dean chuckled and I smacked his belly since I couldn't reach his chest without reaching. my mama and daddy started dancing to no music.

"Sara's gettin' married. Sara's gettin' married." they chanted as they danced. I laughed.

"that's not all the new we have, mama." I said, amusement in my voice. they both turned to me, eyes wide.

"you'll see." I winked, knowing they probably figured it out. but I wasn't confirming anything until those banners went down.

___________________________________________

everyone was sitting at the tables with their lunches. it was mostly my family that was here but several of my friends came as well. I know the banners are going to be falling fast because most of my friends and family were hotshots, just like me. Cara pranced up to me smiling.

"do I still get to shoot?" she asked.

"no." I laughed. "you're one of the best hotshots out of all of us. you're not shooting unless nobody else can aim right." she frowned and stuck out her tongue.

"ok how 'bout this. if you don't get to shoot, you and me will go down to the shooting range and have a contest." she brightened up and went to get some food. although that girl was pretty skinny, she always declared how fat she was and kept eating. she just needed more muscle. but being the town girl she was, she wasn't used to the dedication it took to get there. I should probably help her with it.

"what's going on in your head?" Dean whispered in my ear. I laughed loudly, causing the people around me to glance at me.

"what's so funny?" he frowned.

"nothing." I shook my head, smiling. "nothing." I stretched up and kissed his cheek and then walked away to chat with my friends and family that I hadn't seen in a long time. Dean followed me around, meeting my family, and Sam just kind of sat on a bale of hay with almost all my cousin and friends flirting with him. I smirked and waved at him and he stuck out his tongue at me. I giggled.

"alright everyone, we're going to play a game." I announced over the speakers. "I have two .22 rifles up here. all y'all will take turns and shoot once, trying to hit the ropes in order. every time a rope breaks, a banner will fall and y'all will see why I brought all y'all out here today." I grinned looking around.

"if you want to shoot get in line. Dean will give out line commands such as fire." there was almost a fight as everyone jumped up from their seats to try to get in line first. the first two sat at the table and loaded the guns with one bullet each.

"ready?" Dean asked. they nodded. "fire at will then put the gun down." they aimed their rifles at the first rope and shot.
