(1) When We Collide (T. Stark)

Chapter Fourteen

(24w)

Spencer hums a little sat on Bobby's couch. The tv playing some buddy cop film that she's barely watching, her fingers dance over her bump. She feels....pregnant now. She's feeling it. Sam and Dean's shirts are only just fitting around her now, even the ones they have left of John's are a little snug. She's going to have to branch out into real maternity wear very soon. It's just the cost. Living off fake credit cards and hustling pool isn't going to cut it now. She might actually need to ask Tony for financial help, and she didn't want to do that, she didn't want to be that girl.

"Hey" Dean leans in the doorway. "You....coming...or staying?" he asks, they've known this day was going to come, Spencer has been going on fewer hunts, sticking to research, and the last few weeks she's been staying at Bobby's. She looks to Dean and gives him a sad smile.

"Think it's time" she admits. "I hang up my hunting boots" she offers, Dean sighs and moves to sit next to her. "We knew this was going to happen" she reminds him.

"I know....just feel like we're leaving our best on the side lines" he admits.

"I'm at 24 weeks" she tells him rubbing her bump. "Over half way....I have to concentrate on her now and I need to start figuring some things out"

"I know" he whispers and pulls her closer to kiss her head. She smiles and takes his hand placing it on her bump.

"Keep talking" she tells him, eyes wide with wonder.

"What?" Dean asks her.

"Just talk" she demands softly.

"Urm...I..." Dean struggles, Spencer shoots him a look. "What? It's hard, talking on demand like thi...Oh" he breaths and looks down as Junior moves.

"She likes you" Spencer points out with a smile.

"She likes me" Dean repeats almost like he doesn't believe her. "Are you sure okay here?" Dean asks, the front door opens and Tony appears in the doorway, Spencer and Dean look to him.

"I got cranberry juice" Tony holds up the bottle of juice. "And cheeseburgers with extra pickles" he holds up the brown paper bag in his other, Spencer smiles and looks to Dean.

"I think we're good" she assures her brother who nods and kisses her head before standing.

"Look after her" Dean warns as he passes Tony who nods. Dean leaves. Tony sits beside Spencer and puts his feet up on the coffee table, she holds out her hand as he pulls a cheeseburger from the bag, he shoots her a look and unwraps it.

"Hey, I never said the cheeseburgers were for you" Tony teases taking a bite from the burger, she laughs and leans against his side, he hands her another of the burgers and smiles kissing her head. This has become a weekly thing, since she hit about 20 weeks. He turns up with juice and whatever food she's craving that week and they sit and watch crappy movies on the tv. Sam enters the room and sets his bag down at his feet, he shares a look with Spencer who smiles and nods at him

"Be careful" she tells him.

"You know us" He offers back.

"Yeah, I do" she argues sadly. "Just....come back in once piece" he nods.

"I'll call" he promises.

"I know you will" she teases back, they share a smile and then Sam leaves, the front door opening and closing before the impala engine rumbles to life outside, Spencer looks out the window longingly, she's going to miss hunting. Tony nudges her a little and she looks to him.

"They'll be back before you know it" he offers. She offers him a smile and nods.

"Oh" she starts and then reaches for his hand. "She started kicking" she tells him setting his hand on her bump, she shifts slightly and then smiles at Tony, they wait, Junior shifts and Tony starts smiling.
