It takes a man

She locked her fingers. She bowed her head. She said I'm late and I'm really scared. Now you can go on. I hope you stay. I'm going to keep it either way.

In my daddy's El Camino in her drive way in the rain.

Staring through that windshield I could see my future change.

My heart hit like a hammer and my thoughts were running wild. Any fool can make a baby. It takes a man to raise a child

Anna had been back for a week when she noticed some slight changes in her body. One night while Sam and Dean were asleep she suddenly felt sick. Quickly she made it to the bathroom and prayed she didn't wake either of the brothers up. The former angel hadn't been alone long when she felt rough but gentle hands on her back holding her hair, "Easy. Just take it easy. It'll be over soon."

Anna spit the last of her dinner into the toilet and then sputtered, "God that was awful."

Dean got a damp wash cloth and tried to wipe her face, "I know it sucks ass. This is just one of the many draw backs to being human. You just caught the same bug that I had last week."

Anna groaned, "Just go back to bed."

Dean knelt on the floor beside the young woman, "Not gunna happen. You gunna be sick again?"

Anna swallowed convulsively a few times before she answered, "I'm fine."

Dean helped the former angel stand and wrapped his arm around her, "Let me take your take your temp and then you can go back to sleep."

Anna weakly nodded her head her eyes filling with tears. Dean got the thermometer and stuck it under her tongue. When it beeped he spoke gently, "Well you have a slight fever but nothing we can't handle. Just take these Tylenol and an anti acid and you should be alright."

Anna took the pills and Dean helped her climb back under the covers. Once she was settled he climbed in on the other side of the bed pulling her into his arms. The young woman sighed, "I love you Dean."

The younger hunter nodded, "You too. Just get some sleep."

Three weeks later Anna still wasn't feeling any better. Since they hadn't been able to find another hunt they took some time off to take her to a doctor. Dean went in with Anna and held her hand the whole time. When the doctors had the results the young woman smiled at Anna, "Congrats. It looks like in eight months you two will have a very healthy set of twins."

Dean and Anna thanked the doctor and went into the waiting room to let Sam know. Later that night Dean couldn't sleep. He went out and sat in the impala with the music playing. He hadn't been alone long when Anna sat down in the seat beside him. It was pouring rain and cold outside. The former angel spoke softly, "I brought you a blanket."

Dean groaned, "Leave me alone."

Anna took a deep breath blinking to hide her tears. Dean sighed, "Hey what's wrong?"

Anna sniffed, "I'm scared."

Dean scrubbed a hand over his face, "Anna everything is going to be ok. There are options."

Anna snapped, "No I'm keeping the babies! I don't care what you do but I am raising our children!"

I laid my head down on the wheel. She said I know. It doesn't seem real. She closed her eyes. The tears flowed through. She said don't hate me for loving you. I could not reassure her. I couldn't say what I had planned. I couldn't put three words together. I just took her hand.

In my daddy's El Camino in her drive way in the rain staring through that wind shield I could see my future change. My heart hit like a hammer. My thoughts were running wild. Any fool can make a baby. It takes a man to raise the child.

Dean bandaged his head on the steering wheel. A million thoughts were running through his head. What was he going to tell Sam? What was he going to tell Bobby? What did this mean for the family business? Could he be a good father? What would Ellen, Ash, and Jo think about all this? How was he supposed to tell everyone he got an angel pregnant?

Anna set her hand on the younger hunter's shoulder, "I know Dean. I know this doesn't seem real right now."

Dean just stared out the windshield and didn't speak. He turned his head though when Anna sniffled, "Please don't hate me. I love you. I know I shouldn't have done what I did but…"

Dean took Anna's hand in his. He didn't know what they were going to do. He didn't know what the others were going to think. Hell he didn't even know what he was thinking. He wrapped his arms tightly around the former angel and covered them both up with the thick blanket, "I love you Anna. I swear I will help you raise our children."
