SPOILERS: Season 8
I don't own Supernatural or any of its characters, unfortunately
This is just a little semi-AU I put together about Sam and Amelia. More chapters to come. I hope you like it!
Turning to his brother, Sam prepared himself to say seven words he'd never used together before. "Dean," he whispered, "I'm going to be a dad."
"I'm sorry, you're what?" Dean replied.
"You heard me," Sam answered with a calm voice. "Amelia is pregnant. And the baby is mine."
"Are you sure it's yours? I mean, wasn't she shacking up with that Don guy too?" Dean asked his brother.
"Don can't have children. The baby is mine," Sam replied, still frighteningly calm
"What the hell, Sammy. You know better than that. Where was your protection?" Dean raged, finally breaking Sam's calm.
"You know what, man, I screwed up. I didn't use protection and now there's a baby on the way. But you know what, for once in my life, I'm excited. I know it's insane to think, but I want this baby. And maybe you don't get it, but I love Amelia too. She saved me when you were in Purgatory. She gave me a reason to make it through each day"
"She gave you a reason not to come looking for me." Dean muttered angrily.
"God! When are you going to let that go? I'm sorry. I should have looked for you. Now, are you going to drive this car to Texas or am I going by myself?"
"Where in Texas?" Dean asked gruffly
"Kermit. Thanks," Sam faintly replied.
As the brothers drove in silence, Sam's mind raced. He meant every word he said to Dean: he did love Amelia and he did want their baby. However, his feelings didn't solve any of his problems. Sam had seen first hand the pain and terror Dean felt about Lisa and Ben. While his brother had loved Lisa and come to love Ben, Dean was never able to balance the family business with his new family. How could Sam expect to either? He'd hated being raised a hunter as a child. It had always left him feeling different and alone. He could never put his child through that pain. But Sam also knew the reality of the things that went bump in the night. Demons, ghosts, witches, and monsters alike all wanted him and everyone he loved dead. His child would never be safe. Then Sam's mind shifted to Amelia, loving, caring Amelia: the woman who had given him a dog, a home, a life. She had thrown a birthday picnic and thrown away her marriage, all for him. As Sam reflected on his love of Amelia, he realized she was more important than the dangers.
