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

What Unconditional Love Looks like

I watched him carefully as he took a long probe looking thing from its holder. As he put a condom on it and squirted the top of it with gel I felt my eyebrows raise but said nothing.

"I thought you were giving her an ultra sound?" Dean asked, half rising from his stance.

"I am. It's an internal ultra sound. As the receptionist said, we are very busy today. This means that the four machines we do have are in use but as you are still in your first trimester, it means we can do this kind of ultrasound." He said, before it disappeared between my legs. Placing his hand on my stomach, I felt him begin to push it into me. "Just try to relax and breathe." He uttered as he continued to push it in. I gave a little gasp, my hands on the table tightening. It didn't hurt, it was just very cold. And uncomfortable. Dean grabbed onto my hand, causing me to look into his concerned eyes. I smiled reassuringly and was surprised when he didn't release me from his tight grasp. As Sandy's had pushed and massaged my belly I looked over at the screen that was grey and blurry. After a few minutes of laying there I let my mind wonder.
Should it be taking this long? Suddenly the weight and warmth of Dean's hand was comforting and I, slowly, turned my hand around so that it was in his.

"Megan, I'm going to need you to shuffle down slightly." He said, his voice firm yet gentle. My heartbeat spiked and I moved down lower.

"Is everything okay?" I asked, my hand moving to where Sandy's was.

"Baby's just hiding." As soon as he spoke the beautifully unique sound of a heart beat echoed loud and strong in my ears. The sound made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

"Oh." I heard Dean breathe. Amongst the grey and black sea was an abstract shape that stood out from the darkness.

"That's the head... there's an arm and I think it's other arm there. And you can just about see the legs." As Sandy spoke I watched as he carefully lifted his hand that was still under mine and pointed out my baby's limbs on the screen. I felt my eyes tear up. I kept my mouth shut, wishing he would turn up the machine so that the sound would fill the room. "So baby is about three inches long-" as yellow lines appeared on the screen around its head, a little foot stretched out and connected with my side. My heart stuttered and my stomach flipped as I felt what I saw.

"Do we get a picture?" I asked, unsure and not really caring if I'd interrupted him.

"Of course." I could hear the smile in his voice as he begun to remove the probe. I looked up then to see his eyes looking between Dean and I.

"What?" I asked, sitting up, unable to keep my eyes off of the screen.

"Nothing... it's just nice to have first time parents in here for once."

"That obvious?"

"Blatantly so. But it's exciting. "

After letting me get dressed and printing off a couple photos of my baby, Sandy took more blood, a urine sample.

Taking the blood pressure cuff off me he wrote something down.

"Your blood pressure is just a little high than I'd like it to be. Nothing to worry about, you have to take it easy and stay in a calm, non-stress filled environment. Your baby can feel you're anxiety and also get stressed and we don't want that. We want a happy baby." I nodded. Of course we did. But the thought of my situation right now being stress free made me purse my lips to hide a smile.

"You probably knew this already but I'm just going to run through a quick list of don'ts: No smoking, drugs, alcohol - it's best to avoid inhaling everyday chemicals like bleach, but I wouldn't worry too much if you get a whiff, you should be safe. I'd steer clear from anything that has certain bacterium found in soft cheeses or rare meats. The good news is I would suggest you eat whatever you want at this stage whenever you're not feeling nauseous just because I'd like to see you put on a little bit more weight, but stay away from excessively greedy foods because it could make the morning sickness a lot worst. No caffeine. And your showers or baths can't be hot anymore - keep them at a like warm temperature.

You've probably been sleeping more, and that is a good thing. You probably felt the most tired during the first trimester but this could be an ongoing symptom during pregnancy so you should defiantly sleep more. It's good for you to listen to your body." He said, grabbing a different pad and scribbling on it.

"I'll prescribe you some prenatal vitamins - take one of each every single day, it's OK if you miss a day just don't make a habit of it. I will write all of this down as when a woman is pregnant, you might find you have pregnancy brain. A term for forgetfulness in pregnant women." He said, ripping the page out and handing it to me. The sound echoed with a sense of finality.

"And that's it! How was that - not too bad I hope. Are there any questions? I can answer anything apart from the meaning of life." I laughed and shook my head, looking at Dean who also shook his head.

"Alright. So, here's the list, prescription, sonograms and leaflet. Our next appointment is scheduled for two weeks time."

When we were out of the office and in the car I just couldn't stop staring at the picture in my hand.

"What are you thinking?" Dean asked, cracking the silence. I smiled slightly as I tore my gaze away to look at his.

"It's amazing. It's just so amazing that something so small and precious can turn into something - no, someone so big and beautiful. She could be tall. He could be sweet. Having my hair and your eyes or your legs and my teeth... and yet be a completely different person. Her own person. There are infinite possibilities stretched out in front of it. Him. Her - a whole life full of school plays and scraped knees and runny noses and birthdays and late nights and a driving test and a wedding, waiting. Just waiting for him. But he doesn't know any of that. And he doesn't care about it because he's so small. And he's still growing and I get to be part of that. We get to be part of that. We're just using my body." I let my thumb glide over the glossy paper, wiping away a silent tear that had fallen onto it.

"I mean we did this. We created life. We didn't mean to but we did, and I don't regret it. I just want what's best for the baby. Because I love it already. Unconditionally. I never knew I could love something this much." Nodding with a smile on his face Dean started the car.

"Yeah... me too."
