The Secret Life of Sam Winchester
SCENE 1
Sam's sitting on the sink in the bathroom of the bunker with the door locked. In his hands is a white stick that he hasn't kept his eyes off for the past 2 minutes. His thoughts are interrupted by a very loud knock on the door followed by his brother's loud gruff voice.
DEAN
Hey come on get the lead out! What the hell are you doing, putting on your make up?
Sam ignores his brother for a second. He looks back down at the white stick and then 2 pink lines appear on the applicator. Suddenly Sam feels a large wave of nausea wipe over him and he falls to the floor and vomits violently in the toilet. After his last heave he rests his head on the cool porcelain for a minute. Finally he walks out of the bathroom looking quite pale. Dean's waiting in the war room when Sam walks in.
What took you so long? The vamps probably turned all of Chicago by now.
SAM
I-I don't think I should go on the hunt.
DEAN
Why?
SAM
I think I'm sick. I'm just really not feeling well lately and I don't want to be off my game or anything.
DEAN
You sure?
SAM
Yeah…yeah I'm sure.
DEAN
Well okay. Do you need anything?
Sam crosses his arms around his body.
SAM
No I'll be alright. You think you could handle this hunt by yourself?
DEAN
Yeah I should be fine. It's just a nest. If I need any help I'll call Caleb or someone.
SAM
Okay cool.
DEAN
You sure I can't get you anything?
Sam flashes a weary smile.
SAM
No I'll be okay.
DEAN
Okay, well call me if you need me.
SAM
Will do.
Dean pats Sam on the shoulder before heading out to the Impala. Once the door of the bunker closes Sam run his hands through his hair and curses under his breath. He knew he was pregnant and didn't know what to do about it.
SCENE 2
A day and half later Sam is in the library with a sleeve of Saltines out and at least 20 books sprawled out around the table. He then hears the door of the bunker open and Sam quickly rises from his chair to remove the books from the table but stops when he see's that it's Charlie who's making her way down the stairs and into the library. He breathes a sigh of relief.
SAM
Hey. What are you doing here?
CHARLIE
Dean called me to check up on the sick and shut in. But you don't look too sick to me. So what, are you playing hooky today?
SAM
I wish…
Charlie sees the different books all around the table.
CHARLIE
What's with all the books?
Sam lets out a breath.
SAM
Research.
CHARLIE
You faked sick to do homework?
SAM
I'm not faking! I'm-I'm…
CHARLIE
You're what?
Sam whispers.
SAM
I'm pregnant…
CHARLIE
I'm sorry what?
Sam gets a little louder.
SAM
I'm pregnant.
CHARLIE
What?
SAM
I said I'm-
CHARLIE
No I heard you but-what?
Sam grabs the pregnancy test that was hidden under one of the books and hands it to Charlie.
SAM
I took the test the other day.
CHARLIE
But how?
SAM
You just pee on the stick.
CHARLIE
No! How did you get pregnant? This kind of thing doesn't happen to men last time I checked. So I'm guessing that this was at the mercy of some supernatural monster?
SAM
Actually a Goddess.
CHARLIE
Like Aphrodite?
SAM
Like Juno.
CHARLIE
The movie?
SAM
The Goddess.
CHARLIE
I'm confused.
SAM
The Goddess Juno impregnated me.
CHARLIE
And why would she do this?
SAM
Because I messed up and underestimated how powerful she was. Everyone warned me about it but I went anyway.
CHARLIE
And Dean still let you go?
SAM
You know I don't need Dean's permission to do everything. And…he didn't know I went. He doesn't even know I'm pregnant.
CHARLIE
He doesn't know?! Sam…
SAM
I know. I know. But you can't tell him.
CHARLIE
Are you serious?
SAM
Yes. Look I'm trying to find a way to deal with this right now.
Charlie then glances to the books on the desk.
CHARLIE
And by that you mean…well you know.
SAM
We don't even know what it is.
CHARLIE
Okay but before we make any hasty decisions don't you think we should see a doctor?
Sam scoffs.
SAM
A doctor?
CHARLIE
Yeah. Don't you have any supernatural doctor people you can go to?
Sam thinks back.
SAM
Dr. Robert. He's a supernatural doctor.
CHARLIE
Great we can go and get you checked out.
SAM
Ok fine.
CHARLIE
And then we can tell Dean.
Sam warns.
SAM
Charlie…
CHARLIE
You're going to have to tell him eventually. He's not dumb Sam.
Sam walks past Charlie and then turns around.
SAM
Come on we should get going if we want to get to Dr. Roberts by sundown.
Charlie sighs and follows Sam out of the bunker.
SCENE 3
Sam is propped up on the medical table and Charlie is leaning on the table next to him. Dr. Roberts wheels over a sonogram machine next to the table. Charlie moves out of the way.
CHARLIE
This is so weird meeting a supernatural doctor. You know I was half kidding when I mentioned it.
Dr. Robert looks at her not amused.
I talk when I'm nervous.
DR. ROBERT
I hear that.
CHARLIE
I'm just gonna stand over here.
DR. ROBERT
You do that.
Charlie moves away from the table and out Dr. Roberts way awkwardly.
SAM
She means well.
DR. ROBERT
I'm sure. So a fertility goddess huh? How did you manage that?
SAM
I'm got stupid and cocky and didn't listen to anybody.
DR. ROBERT
Well that's a hunter for you.
Dr. Robert lifts up Sam's shirt and covers his stomach with a cool gel. He then takes the wand that's attached to the machine and glides it around his stomach. The machine makes a swooshing sound and after a few moments they see a small blob appear on the screen.
Looks like the home pregnancy test wasn't faulty. You're definitely 6 weeks pregnant.
Sam stares at the blob on the screen. That blob was his baby.
SAM
I see that. I can see that.
SCENE 4
4 weeks later Sam is in his room struggling to button his pants.
SAM
Come on! Close!
He sucks his stomach in as far as it can go and still no luck.
Dammit!
He lets it out and places a palm on his baby bump.
This is useless.
Dean walks into his room and eyes his situation suspiciously.
DEAN
Watcha doing?
SAM
Nothing. What do you want?
DEAN
Oh, you're moody.
SAM
What do you want Dean?
DEAN
I want nothing, but Bobby does.
Sam stutters.
SAM
Wh-wh-what does Bobby want?
DEAN
I don't know he just said that he wanted to see us.
SAM
Wh-why?
DEAN
I just said I don't know and you haven't stuttered since you were 12. I thought you were over that.
SAM
I'm not st-st-stuttering.
Sam takes a big breath.
DEAN
And why are your pants unbuttoned?
SAM
I was getting dressed.
DEAN
Right…are you okay?
Sam avoids the question.
SAM
We should head to Bobby's.
Dean's sitting in the car waiting in the car with the engine running. Sam gets in the passenger seat. Dean eyes his outfit.
What? Lets go.
DEAN
Sweatpants? You're wearing sweatpants.
SAM
Yes I'm wearing sweatpants, what's the big deal?
DEAN
The only time I see you wear sweatpants is to bed.
SAM
My pants are dirty.
DEAN
If you say so…
Dean puts the car in gear and drives off. Sam falls asleep after being in the car for about a half hour and sleeps the whole way there. Sam wakes up after he feels the car stop.
SAM
We here?
DEAN
Yup.
Dean and Sam get out of the car and knock at the door. Bobby answers the door and his eyes go straight to Sam's sweatpants.
BOBBY
Sweatpants?
SAM
Hi, Bobby nice to see you too.
BOBBY
Come on in.
Sam and Dean follow Bobby into study.
DEAN
So why did you call us?
BOBBY
I got a hunt for you two.
SAM
Um, a hunt?
BOBBY
Yeah at the Hathaway house. Two teenagers were reported dead at the house. No murder weapon, no fingerprints, no nothing.
DEAN
So what you're thinking angry spirit?
BOBBY
Yup. I just feel bad for the kids you know.
Bobby fixates on Sam.
Going to a house that they probably knew they shouldn't have gone in and then they get stuck in a predicament that cost them their own lives. It's a shame when you think about it.
Sam looks away from Bobby trying not to make eye contact.
So Dean why don't you read up on the Hathaway house and see who's died in there and who our avenging ghost could be. Sam can I talk to you in the kitchen please.
Sam reluctantly follows Bobby to the kitchen.
So how far along are you?
Sam puts his head down in shame.
SAM
How did you know?
BOBBY
Well I got an interesting call from Dr. Roberts last night asking how you and the baby were doing. Then I remembered that Fertility Goddess hunt Dean and I told you not to go on because we told you that fighting her could only end badly. And when I say badly I mean pregnant.
SAM
I know. I should've listened but I didn't.
BOBBY
And Dean doesn't know does he?
SAM
No.
BOBBY
Dammit boy. What the hell are you waiting for?
Sam crosses his arms around his body.
SAM
I don't know…
BOBBY
Are you going to tell him?
SAM
I don't know…
BOBBY
Okay Sam what are you going to do?
SAM
I don't want to tell him because I'm not going to keep it.
Bobby gestures for Sam to sit down at the kitchen table.
BOBBY
Lets talk about this.
SAM
Bobby I don't want to talk about this. I've made my decision.
BOBBY
Well this is a big decision.
SAM
You were the one that was just yelling at me about this whole thing and now you want me to keep it?
BOBBY
I was yelling at you because you never listen to me, but having an abortion is a big decision to make, especially on your own.
SAM
I'm a big boy Bobby I think I'm very capable.
BOBBY
No your not. At least not right now.
Sam scoffs.
SAM
Why because I'm pregnant?
BOBBY
Because you haven't told your brother.
Sam angrily gets up from his chair.
Why? Why do I have to get my brothers approval about all of this?! It's not like he's having the kid. It's not like he's going to raise it. It's not like he's the one who didn't listen to his brother about a hunt. It'll be better for all of us if I just shut up and get this thing taken care of. And if you're not going to help me then I'll ask someone else.
Bobby slowly stands up and gives a comforting hug to Sam who is now crying.
BOBBY
What's really going on here Sam?
Sam sniffles.
SAM
I'm scared…I'm scared that Dean is going to want to get rid of the baby.
BOBBY
So naturally you want to get rid of it first to avoid the heartache.
Sam nods.
Look kid, no matter what decision you make you're going to have to talk to Dean.
SAM
I can't. I'm sorry Bobby I can't and I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't say anything either.
Bobby heaves a sigh.
BOBBY
Fine. But I don't like this at all Sam.
SAM
I know you don't.
Bobby and Sam walk into the study where Dean is researching on the computer. He leans back in his chair when they walk in.
DEAN
My god that was a long conversation. While you guys were gone I built a new carburetor for my car and invaded Poland.
He smirks at his joke while taking a pull from his beer.
BOBBY
Hilarious. Sam's off the hunt, you're on your own.
DEAN
What? Why?
BOBBY
He's sick.
DEAN
No he's not.
SAM
Yes I am.
DEAN
No you're not.
BOBBY
Trust me he's sick and not suitable for a hunt.
Dean sighs and gets up from his chair.
DEAN
Fine. I guess I'll get going.
Dean takes his beer and walks past them. Sam mouths 'Thanks' and Bobby responds with a nod of the head.
SCENE 4
A week later Sam is pacing back and forth in the war room of the Bunker. Dean had left a few hours ago to go on another hunt that Sam faked sick to get out of. Charlie runs into the bunker and down the stairs.
CHARLIE
Okay what's the big emergency.
SAM
I need you to drive me to Dr. Roberts.
CHARLIE
Why are you okay?
SAM
I've officially decided to get the abortion.
Charlie just stares at him.
This is usually the part where you say something. Anything.
CHARLIE
Have you talked to Dean?
SAM
Except that.
CHARLIE
It's been months Sam, plus you're showing!
SAM
And if I get the abortion I won't have to tell him, will I?
CHARLIE
I don't approve of this at all.
SAM
You don't have to. All you have to do is drive me to Dr. Roberts.
Charlie rolls her eyes and turns around.
CHARLIE
Fine lets go.
The car ride was completely silent between the two. Although it was quiet Sam's mind was plenty loud. So many questions and thoughts were racing through his mind. Before he knew it they were at Dr. Roberts apartment and Sam was sitting on the cold medical bench. Charlie was waiting outside the apartment for Dr. Roberts simply didn't want her in the examine room again. To keep herself busy Charlie decided to reread the Hobbit but was interrupted by Dr. Robert walking out to the hallway where she was sitting. She looks up from her book and stands up quickly.
DR. ROBERTS
He wants to see you.
Charlie runs into the examination room where Dean is standing there with tears in his eyes.
CHARLIE
Did you-?
Sam shakes his head slowly
SAM
I can't do it. I can't.
Charlie embraces him.
CHARLIE
Shh. It's okay.
Charlie takes Sam home and he finally realizes that he has to tell Dean. Late that night Dean came home from his hunt and walked into the dark bunker. He makes a b-line for the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee. Little did he know Sam was sitting in the dark at the table waiting for him to notice him. It wasn't until after poured his cup of coffee did he notice Sam at the table.
DEAN
Holy Sh-!
Dean turns on the light.
What are you doing in the dark?
Sam answers with his head staring at the table
SAM
Couldn't sleep.
DEAN
Something on your mind?
SAM
You could say that.
Dean takes a sip of his coffee.
DEAN
Yeah? And what would that be?
SAM
I'm p-pregnant.
Dean squints his eyes and puts down his coffee..
DEAN
Huh?
SAM
I'm pregnant Dean.
DEAN
How's that even possible Sam?
SAM
Do you remember the Fertility Goddess hunt I brought up?
DEAN
You mean the one that Bobby and I specifically told you not to go on?
Dean slowly advances Sam.
The one that we said was way too dangerous to go on?!
SAM
I know I messed up and now I'm 4 months pregnant and I knew you'd be mad and I knew that you didn't want a kid so I tried to take care of it but then I couldn't do it and-
Dean puts his hands up.
DEAN
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Slow down. You tried to get an abortion? And who said I didn't want kids?
SAM
Dean you're a hunter. Born and bred. Having a kid around would change all of that. You love hunting and you would never want to give it up and I didn't want to be the one to make you drop what you love.
DEAN
Okay one, yeah I love hunting and all but if you or I were to have a kid I would drop it all because that kids life comes first. And two, I do too want kids. And three, why would I be mad at you?
SAM
Well aren't you?
DEAN
No!
Dean takes a seat next to Sam.
Am I mad that you didn't listen to me or tell me that you're pregnant? Yes. But I'm not mad that you're pregnant. I'm not Dad Sam.
SAM
I know. I know. Charlie kept telling me to tell you and that you would understand.
DEAN
Wait, Charlie knows? Who else knows?
SAM
Bobby and Dr. Roberts.
DEAN
Wow, so I'm really the last one to know.
SAM
I'm sorry.
DEAN
So is that why you haven't been going on hunts and wearing sweatpants?
SAM
Basically.
DEAN
Do you want to keep the baby?
Sam places a hand on his stomach.
SAM
Yeah. Yeah I really do.
Dean claps his hands together.
DEAN
Well okay. Lets do this.
SAM
Are you serious?
DEAN
As long as you are.
SAM
Yeah I am.
DEAN
Then we'll do this together.
SAM
We will?
DEAN
Why do you seem so confused?
SAM
Are you sure you're okay with this?
DEAN
Sam, you're having a baby. I want to be there for you and I want to be the best Uncle this kid could have. So of course I am.
Dean and Sam both stand and Dean pulls Sam in for a tight hug.
SAM
Thank you so much Dean.
DEAN
No need to thank me bro.
SCENE 5
Sam is nine months pregnant and has been in labor for about 6 hours. The minute he felt the first contraction Dean called Dr. Robert but he insisted to stay until the contractions were at least 4 to 5 minutes for at least an hour. It's been two hours. Dean is racing down the highway with Sam going through a contraction in the passenger seat.
SAM
Drive faster Dean!
Sam shuts his eyes and clutches his stomach.
DEAN
I'm driving as fast as I can Sammy.
SAM
We waited too long. I knew we waited too long.
DEAN
We didn't wait too long. We'll make it in time.
Sam's voice is strained and he bends forward.
SAM
Not if this kid has something to say about it…Nghah!
DEAN
Just hang in there, Sam.
SAM
Did you call Bobby and Charlie?
DEAN
They're on their way. They're probably already at Dr. Roberts.
SAM
Why aren't we?
Sam's face twists and contorts again.
Oh God! These contractions are happening fast. Isn't there a short cut somewhere?
DEAN
We'll be there in 10 minutes. 15 minutes top.
Sam's eyes all of a sudden get really wide and he groans in pain.
SAM
Um-uh-Dean? My water just broke.
Deans snaps his head at Sam.
DEAN
Crap!
Dean then grips the steering wheel hard and floors the gas. They get to the hospital 8 minutes later. Bobby and Charlie are waiting for him outside of the apartment building. Dean pulls up on the curb and Bobby rushes to the passenger side to open the door for Sam. He puts Sam's arms around his neck and Dean rushes over to do the same.
Shouldn't you guys be in the room?
BOBBY
You're gonna need our help.
CHARLIE
The elevators out.
SAM
He's on the 6th floor!
BOBBY
That's where our help will come in handy. Come on Sam lets get moving.
Sam groans as they get up the first flight of stairs. The moment they try to get him to the second floor his legs buckle underneath him.
SAM
Ahh!
DEAN
Come on Sammy we're almost there.
Sam speaks with a strained voice.
SAM
Can't you just carry me?
DEAN
Sam I love you but you're way to heavy for us to do that.
SAM
I'm not going to make it Dean. I'm gonna give birth on this staircase.
DEAN
No you're not! But I'm going to need you to keep moving.
Sam nods.
SAM
Okay. Okay.
Bobby and Dean get Sam to keep walking up the stairs. They finally make it to the 6th floor and Sam is sweating more than ever. Charlie gets the door for them and Bobby and Dean help Sam to the hospital bed. Dr. Robert tears off Sam's pants and puts his feet in the stirrups.
How far am I dilated?
DR. ROBERT
Well I'd say pretty far. I can see the head. On your next contraction I want you to start pushing.
Sam groans loudly and bends his body forward.
DEAN
Contraction?
Sam nods fiercely.
SAM
Ngnnnah! Get it out!
DEAN
It's okay Sam, breathe.
SAM
I'll breathe when you get my baby out.
Dean grabs Sam's hand and rubs his back during the contraction.
DEAN
Come on Sam you're doing really well.
SAM
How the hell would you know?
DEAN
You just gotta trust me.
Bobby turns to Charlie.
BOBBY
Come on we should wait outside.
CHARLIE
Agreed.
Bobby and Charlie scurry out into the hallway closing the door behind them.
DR. ROBERTS
Okay I've got the head out Sam. Full head of hair.
Dean lets out a short laugh.
DEAN
Gets it from his dad.
Sam stops pushing.
SAM
Dean I can't!
DEAN
Yes you can. You're doing it.
SAM
No I can't raise this baby.
DEAN
You want to talk about this now?! Impeccable timing Sam.
SAM
I can't be a father Dean! I'm a hunter.
Sam clutches his stomach and starts breathing heavily.
DEAN
Okay calm down or you're going to hyperventilate which is the last thing we need.
SAM
I'm not ready for this!
Dean looks Sam in the eye.
DEAN
Yes you are. You're going to be a great father. And remember you're not at this alone. You've got me and Bobby and Charlie.
DR. ROBERT
Sam I'm gonna need you to push.
SAM
Ngggnng! It hurts!
DEAN
I know buddy but I'm right here. You're going to be fine.
Dean rubs Sam's back as he leans forward during a contraction and pushes.
Good! You're doing good.
DR. ROBERT
I've got the shoulders, keep pushing.
Sam pushes even harder and then they hear the baby crying.
He's here!
SAM & DEAN
He?
DR. ROBERT
Yup. It's a boy.
Dr. Robert places the whimpering baby on Sam's chest after cutting the umbilical cord. Dean gets a little teary eyed. Sam is dumbfounded.
SAM
It's a boy. I have a son.
Dean smiles at the newborn infant that Sam is cradling.
DEAN
You did it Sam.
Sam scoffs lightly.
SAM
Not without some major help.
DEAN
What's his name?
SAM
Michael. Michael Winchester.
Sam couldn't keep his eyes off of Michael. He honestly couldn't believe that he had a son. And he loved every single moment of it.
SCENE 6
Sam was leaving Michael's room after finally getting him to sleep. Michael was 6 months old and was a less of a handful than Sam expected. Dean is always around helping out both financially and morally. Sam puts the baby monitor by his bed and breaks out the laundry basket on his bed. He takes an item of clothing at a time and begins folding. Moments later Dean walks in and sits on the portion of the bed where clothes didn't lie.
SAM
Did you eat?
DEAN
Yeah I picked something up on the way here. How's Michael?
SAM
Good. Just got him to bed.
DEAN
Oh good hopefully he won't wake up in the middle of the night.
SAM
Here's hoping.
Dean starts toying with a rogue sock.
You okay?
DEAN
I'm just thinking.
SAM
About….
DEAN
Well I got a call from Caleb about a hunt 3 states over.
Sam tenses up a bit.
SAM
Oh yeah?
DEAN
Yupp. And…. I'm not going.
Sam looks up from folding laundry and has a goofy grin on his face.
SAM
You're not?
DEAN
Nope.
SAM
So you're really not going to go through with the whole hunting thing.
DEAN
I made a promise to you and Michael and I plan on keeping that promise.
SAM
Speaking of which, I really don't want Michael to hunt.
DEAN
I couldn't agree more.
Dean throws the sock he's been toying with at Sam and hits him square in the face. He heads out the door.
Night bro.
Sam smirks at him.
SAM
Night.
THE END
