a/n: I'm not sure Nathan Scott's true eye colour because at times it looks like they're green and other time they look like they're gray. But for this fic I am going to make them green, so don't judge me.

The Power of Two: Prologue

Mary screamed as she felt another contraction overwhelm her. She squeezed John's hand with brutal force as she forced herself to breath through it. It was too soon for this, she and John weren't ready for this, especially not for two babies — not for twins. They could barely afford the house that they were living in, John had to take extra shifts at the garage and she was working extra hours at the café. She knew that it made her a horrible person to even think about it, but they couldn't keep both boys — they just couldn't.

"John," she whimpered, still feeling the after effects of the last contraction.

"Shhh, its okay." he soothed, rubbing her bulging stomach in the same manner. "Just a little while longer and we're going to have our arms full of two healthy, beautiful baby boys." he smiled at her.

Mary felt her eyes well with tears as she saw that smile, the smile that he had given her when she said yes to his marriage proposal. How was she going to tell him? He wanted this as much — if not more — than she did. John thumbed away a tear that escaped the corner of her eye and trailed down her pale cheek.

He gave her a gentle and loving smile. "Don't worry; I know that it was a surprise when we found out that you were pregnant, and an even bigger shock when we found out that it wasn't with just a boy, but a set of twin boys." his eyes brightened at just the mention of it. "And I know that money it scarce at the moment, but we'll pull through — we always do."

"John," it was a sob this time and more tears leaked from her eyes.

John looked at her with concern. "Don't cry, Mary." he whispered.

"I can't do this, John; we can't do this." she blurted.

"Of course we can," John tried to reassure, but Mary shook her head.

"It's too much; I know that you love these boys with all of your heart, John, but you know that it's true."

"No," John shook his head, looking down at his feet as tears welled in his own eyes. "We can, we can take care of them Mary, I swear it." he looked up at her with desperate eyes.

"Not both of them, we can't John." she sobbed, clenching her jaw as she felt a contraction come over her.

John stared at her, openly sobbing as he realized that he was going to have to give up one of his babies. He pressed his forehead against his hands that clasped Mary's, his tears soaking into the material that covered the Hospital gurney.

He did so, even if it broke his heart in half to do so, he gave away one of his sons. Their first born was named Dean Michael Winchester, and he had the exact same eyes as Mary. And three minutes and forty-seven seconds later their other son was born, Nathan Royal Winchester — or as he singed the birth certificate and forged the father's signature; Nathan Royal Singer. John knew that it was the right decision to make; Bobby was his best friend and his boss, he lost his wife a year ago and this was his chance to have the child that he never got the chance to have.

John held baby Nathan in his arms for the last time, his green eyes gazing up at John. John forced the tears back, this was his little baby boy, his youngest.

"Remember," John cooed softly to Nathan. "This doesn't mean I don't love any less then your brother. Bobby's going to take care of you, he's going to be your father and he's going to love you just as must as I do." he placed a kiss on the freckle on Nathan's cheek, the only thing so far that distinguished him from Dean.

Nathan blinked up at him and gurgled; a stray tear escaped John's eye and pattered onto Nathan's blue-capped head.

note: I hoped you liked the beginning; I actually came up with this idea a while ago, but never really continued it because I got other fics that needed to be written and posted right then. But at the moment I don't really have anything else to write besides, so I wrote the rest of this. Plus, there seems that there aren't much Dean&Nathan crossover fics.
