Lily could not wipe the smile from her face. She finished curling the last ring of her hair, she applied an extra coat of lipstick and she tugged at her dress to make it just right. "Okay…" she breathed, going over every last detail to make sure it was all perfect, "Here we go…"
She heard the door open and two sets of footsteps enter the kitchen. Sam's voice, then Dean's voice sounded- and she just kept smiling. She left the bathroom and entered the kitchen.
The boys were putting take-out on the counter when they both stopped to look at her. "Well aren't you fancy?" Dean commented, taking out the cartons of Chinese from the paper bag.
Lily nodded. Sam raised a brow, "You knew we were just grabbing take-out, right?" he asked with a small smile.
Lily nodded again, "Yeah…I didn't dress up for dinner," she explained. The boys looked at her, unsure what to make of it.
"Are you cheating on me?" Sam asked sarcastically- but giving a totally serious look. Lily laughed, "Yes, I'm going to see him now- just thought I'd let you know I wouldn't be home for dinner…"
The three laughed but when it died out Dean asked, "But seriously…what's up with the Sex and the City?"
"I just felt that if I was going to tell you that I was pregnant- that the memory of me would always look nice," Lily answered.
The boys paused. Both their eyes squinted slightly, to see if she was being serious or not. When neither of them spoke after a few moments, Lily spoke again. "Why don't I make this a little more clear. Sam, I'm pregnant," she spelled it out.
Dean smiled but Sam seemed to be unable to figure out how to react, but finally his words came busting through, "That's great!" he said. He dropped the egg rolls and walked around the counter to pull her into his arms. He kissed her gently, completely elated. There was a good portion of his life when he thought that he'd never have a family- and that he would never want one.
But he never thought it would feel this good…and he never imagined the joy that he felt…and he never realized just how beautiful Lily was.
