One More Day
Dean had saw a lot of nasty things in his life. Things that never made any sense no matter what kind of a spin you put on it. He made a lot of mistakes that seemed even worse this was a different thing. The woman he loved was fighting for not only her life, but their unborn child's life. He had come all the way back from hell just to see her. The whole time he was there he was thinking of her. Forty years was a long time he had to do something to get through the torture Alaster did to him. He never thought he'd have a family aside from Sam, but then Nova came up pregnant suddenly things that seemed impossible were much closer than he ever imagined.
The second he came back from hell he wanted to be at her side, but he needed answers first. Not that he got any that made sense. He tried to come to her, but all he could think about was if he went near her she'd die. Her and their son almost lost their lives because of him. He couldn't risk it. Wouldn't risk it. Until now. She was ready to wake up and they were almost certain she'd go into labor so he wanted, needed to be here for this.
Now here he stood by Sam's side waiting on news that she was okay. Eight months ago he was sitting at her side as she fought for her life and their unborn child. She had to be put in a medically induced coma so her body could heal. The whole time he was gone it was Sam who made all the decisions about her well being. He even gave her doctor's his real name and number which was something they never did. Dean told his self he just wanted to make sure they were both okay. He just wanted to see his son take his first breath. Hear his first cry.
"You okay?" Sam's voice broke through Dean's thoughts causing him to let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding.
"Yeah" it wasn't a complete lie.
"She's going to be okay." Sam reassured him softly"They both are." it was more to his self than to Dean. All Sam could think about was that his best friend was in there fighting for her life and her life and his nephew's life and all because of what they do. He should've killed Lillith when he had the chance.
" She deserves better than me." Dean spoke softly as he finally sat down next to Sam.
" Maybe, but she wants you." Same never thought he'd see the day that Dean would meet the one girl he could not live his life without and it was his best friend. Dean was in a lot of pain he could see it in his eyes even if he didn't say it out loud.
"Mr. Winchester you can come in now."The doctor said to Dean as he came out of the OR.
"Okay." Dean took one last glance at Sam.
"Go, be with her and see your son be born."Sam said to him
Dean turned to walk into the room when Sam spoke up again.
"Hey, just don't name him some dumb name." Sam told him as he smiled and went in to be with Nova.
As he walked in he saw Nova's eyes flutter open. His heart slammed in his chest as their eyes met for the first time in eight months. Though to his soul it was forty years. He thought about that and was amazed that he could feel that much love for so long even after all that had happened.
"Dean?" she whispered softly as he held her hand
"I'm here." he said as he felt her squeeze his hand
"There's something you should know." she started to say as she felt a contraction." Owe!"
"Mrs. Winchester you've been in labor for almost an hour now and you've dilated to almost ten centimeters." the doctor told her
"Wow I almost missed our baby's birth." she said her voice weak as Dean brought her hand to his lips. When did I become Mrs. Winchester?
"So did I." Dean said as he thought about being in hell while their son was being born.
"Mrs. Winchester?" She softly asked as their eyes met
"Not my idea." He told her as she smiled
"Dean you should know that I...Owe!" she screamed as another contraction came.
"What ever it is can wait, but our son isn't." Dean told her as he held her hand when another one came she gripped his hand tighter.
"Okay with this one you need to push." the doctor said to her.
"You're doing great Nova." Dean encouraged her as she pushed
"Says you who's not......" she didn't finish her sentence as the crys of their baby echoed in the room
"Congratulations you have a healthy baby boy." The doctor said to Dean as he heard his son crying. He looked up from Nova's face to see his son for the first time. Though he was a bloody mess he was the best thing he'd ever seen.
"Dean he's beautiful." she said as she felt tears roll down her cheeks and she looked up at Dean this time she knew it was right to say it." Dean I love you."
"I love you." Dean said without so much as a second thought as he smiled at her.
It was the first time they'd said the words out loud and Dean swore he'd say them more.
"Would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" a nurse asked
Dean walked over as he cut the cord he looked at his son and made all sorts of promises to who ever was listening up there. After cutting the cord he looked over at Nova expecting to see her smiling brightly instead she gave him a weak smile before she closed her eyes.
"Take the baby out of here." the doctor said as Nova's heart machine went off" Mr. Winchester you're going to have to leave."
"What's going on with her?" he felt panic rise up in his throat as he saw a nurse take their baby out of the room.
"Please just step out." the doctor said to him as a nurse led him from the room.
"Dean what's wrong?" Sam asked as he saw Dean's face.
"He's a boy." Dean said his mind still on Nova
"What happened to Nova?" Sam asked knowing something was wrong by all the noise and Dean's face.
"I don't know...she was smiling and then she started to crash." Dean said numbly as Sam put a hand on his shoulder." I can't lose her Sammy."
"You're not." Sam said more so to his self than to Dean
Sam didn't know what to say to him to make this all right. There was nothing he could say. He felt just as helpless as Dean did right now. All they could do was wait.
