Chapter 19

Previously: With that John left to keep his end of the bargain.

Now:

John's room

"All right, I kept my end of the bargain."

"Fine."

"Wait, I want to say goodbye to my sons."

"Okay, but after that you will return here and give me what I want."

John walked into Dean's room to see if the Demon had held up the end of his bargain.

AnotherRoom

"So," Marie said "Are you ready?"

"No, but what choice to I have."

Marie placed her hand on Dean's head, but just as she began she was stopped.
"Wait," she screamed "There's still time, I can do this."

She was sucked back to wherever she came from, leaving Dean to fade back into his body.

Dean's room

Dean gasped as awoke to a tube down his throat.

"Dean," yelled Buffy running towards a couphing Dean.

"Doctor," yelled Sam as Phoebe, Paige, Piper and Leo ran into the room.

The Doctor came running into the room to remove the tube from Dean's throat.

"Everyone please leave so that I can examine him," said Dr. Mendez

"Please let me stay," asked Buffy

"Buffy," gasped Dean

"It will be just a couple of minutes, please wait in the hall."

"Fine, I'll be right back," said Buffy giving Dean a kiss on his forehead and left with Sam, John, Leo and her sisters.

Out in the hall

"He's awake," said Buffy jumping up and down crying.

"Calm down," said Phoebe pulling her sister into her arms

Dr.Mendez walked out to the group of people waiting for news.

"Well it appears that his concussion is gone and he seems to be doing better. We're gonna keep him a couple of days to make sure that the bleeding has stopped. Buffy he's asking for you."

"Go ahead," said Sam "I'll see him later, he needs YOU."

Buffy left her sisters, Sam and John and walked into Dean's room.

Dean's room

"Hey," said Dean "What are ya doin' standing all the way over there? How bout a kiss?"

"Don't you ever," stormed a very pissed off Buffy "Ever do that to me again. I.,,"

Tears began to fall from Buffy's eyes.

"I'm sorry, god, Princess come here," said Dean pulling Buffy into his arms. "I'm sorry, I..., Wait, I remember something now. I remember you talking to me about names."

"Oh," said Buffy sitting up "Um.., I, um,.., Maybe I should tell you when you're better."

"No, tell me now."

"But, I...,"

"Just tell me," said Dean already knowing what she was going to tell him, but he wanted to hear it from her.

"I'm pregnant."

"Oh god, that's..,"
"I know it's much and I know we didn't plan this and I," said Buffy pacing back and forth, rambling on.

"Buffy, please sit down."

Buffy looked at Dean and sat in the chair beside his bed.

"No, come sit by me," said Dean patting the spot on his bed.

"Okay," said Buffy climbing on the bed.

"I know."

"What do you mean "I know."?"

"I knew that you were pregnant."

"How?"

"When I was in a coma, I was kinda... out of my body."
"Huh?"

"It was like my soul was walking around and,.. Now don't get mad, I overheard Sam telling the Doctor, I guess I was overwhelmed and it made me fight harder."

"So you're not mad?"

"What? No," said Dean pulling in Buffy for a kiss but hissed as pain shot through his body.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, actually it's not as bad. The nurse gave me something for the pain. Come here," said Dean pulling Buffy closer to him. "I have missed you so much."

"I missed you too, you have no idea."

"I agree with what you said earlier, about the baby's middle name. If it's a boy."

"I think he'll be honored."

"Let's get some sleep."

"Hmmm," sighed Buffy as she snuggled deep into Dean's chest.

Dean's room about a half hour later

"Dean," whispered John as he walked into the room "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Hang on. Buffy, hey," he said as she woke up "Go get something to eat, gotta feed the baby too ya know."

"I'll be right back," she said giving him a kiss and walking out of the room

"What's up Dad?"

"Listen, I know I haven't been the best dad and I know I haven't always been there for you but I want you to know that I love you son. I just wanted you to know that."

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"You'll make a great father and tell Buffy, tell Buffy that I'm sorry for everything I said. I love you son," John said giving his son a hug "I'll always be here for you."

"Dad, what is going on?"
"Take care of Sam."

And with that John left Dean's room

"Buffy," said John "Take care of my son for me and make sure that this little one here is loved."

"I will and he or she already is."

John left Buffy and walked into his room

"Well," the Demon said "I held up my end of the bargain."

"Do it."

Outside John's room Sam noticed his father on the ground, he dropped his cup of coffee and ran towards his father.

"Daadd," yelled Sam "Help, somebody Hellppp."

Piper, Paige, Phoebe and Leo came running in.

"Oh god," gasped Phoebe

"Leo," pleaded Sam

Leo knealt beside the younger Winchester and tried to see if he could do anything to heal the elder Winchester.

"I'm sorry Sam, but there isn't anything I can do."

"What no," yelled Sam

"I'm sorry."

The doctors came running in and did everything in there power to save John but he was dead. Dr. Mendez called the time of death and had the coroners pick up the body of John Winchester.

TBC... Buffy and Dean are in for a real surprise and Riley's back. Sorry about Spike. He really didn't deserve to be bashed, so I laid off. Yes, John's dead and I really wanted to save him but his death would fuel Sam and Dean's need to end this.

Chapter 20

Dean's Room

"Dean," said Sam walking into the room

"What's up Sammy?"

"It's Dad," Sam said as Dean sat up

"Sam?"

"Dad's dead, Dean."

"What happened?"

"We don't know, Leo tried to heal him, but there wasn't anything he could do."

"Fuck," yelled Dean

"Oh, god," said Buffy "I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do."

"It'll be okay, I just want you to stay calm, okay."

"Okay, I'm gonna go talk to the doctor and see what I can do about getting you released sooner."

"All right," said Dean giving Buffy a quick kiss

Buffy left and Dean turned to Sam

"We will find the Demon," said Dean "And we will finish this."

"I know Dean, but without the colt, without Dad."

"What do you mean "without the colt", Sammy?"

"Dad took it from me and I searched him for the colt, it wasn't on him."

"Shit."

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know Sam, I don't know."

"I heard about the baby, congratulations."

"Thanks, how does it feel knowing you're gonna be an uncle."

"I don't know, I guess I should ask you the same question about becoming a father."

"I'm a little scared Sam, I don't know if I know how to be a father."

"You practically raised me Dean."

"Yeah and look how you turned out," said Dean with a smirk.

"Hey! You'll be great and you have Leo to talk to for advice."

"I guess so. I just wish Dad would be here to see his grandchild."

Buffy walked into the room and Sam excused himself to talk to Leo.

"Babe?"

"Yeah."

"How come, um, when I was in a coma. How come you didn't try to heal me?"
"Leo advised against it. With the extent of your injuries and him just finding out I was pregnant, we didn't know the effect it would have on the baby, so Leo told us to wait and he'd heal you when we got back to the manor."

"Oh!"

"What?"

"Nothing, I just figured that um, you'd try to heal me."
"I did. Leo came in, saw what I was doing and put a stop to it."

"Why?"

"Because, Leo said there was a possibility that healing you could drain me. The stress itself from healing you would take it's toll on me and I would loose the baby."

"Well, then I very glad that you didn't heal me."

"I would've if I could've trust me."

"I know, this baby comes first and I love the fact that you are carrying me child. You are going to be so beautiful."

"HEY!"
"Not that you aren't now, you're gorgeous, but the fact that your having my baby makes you even more beautiful."

"Aww," said Buffy pulling Dean in for a kiss.

A knock at the door interrupted Buffy and Dean.

"Am I interrupting anything," said Piper poking her head in through the door.

"No," said Buffy

"Doctor said one more day and then you can go home. Buffy come on. You need rest and I'm not sure the Doctor will let you stay in your condition."

"But Piper I want to stay with him."

"I know you do honey, but you're pregnant, and..."

"Babe, your sister's right. Go ahead, I'll be fine."

"Leo said he'll stay with Dean."

"Fine," said Buffy "I'll be back in the morning," she said giving him a kiss.

"Be sure to eat," Dean said "I want the three most important people I love strong and healthy. Make sure Sam gets some rest and eats as well."

As Buffy left leaving Dean to his thoughts, not knowing what was coming.

TBC...

Chapter 21

The Next Morning

Buffy walked quietly into Dean's room, walked up to his bed and gave him a good morning kiss.

"Hey," said Dean smiling into the kiss

"Morning. The doctor said that he's gonna check you over and then we get to go home."

"Thank God," Dean said as he started to climb out of the bed only to have Buffy push him back down. "Hey, I thought you said I could leave."

"You can after the Doctor checks you over."

"And when will that be."

"I see someones in a hurry to get out of here."

"You have no idea."

"Well be patient."

"How are you feeling this morning? You look a little pale."

"I'm fine, just a bit of morning sickness. It's normal."

Just then Buffy hiccuped and and orby bubble rose from her mouth.

"Is that normal?"

"I guess the baby has a bit of whitelighter in her."

"Or him."

"Yes, or him."

"Do you know the sex of the baby yet?"

"No, not yet. I don't know if I want to know."

"How come?"

"I don't know. I guess I just want it to be a surprise. Like a christmas present."

"What if I wanna know?"

"Why?"
"So that Sammy and I can start the nursery."

"Oh, well than you're going to have to talk to the doctor at the next ultrasound."

"When's that"
"In a couple of days."

"I'll be there."

"I love you," said Buffy giving Dean a kiss.

"I love you too, princess," said Dean returning the kiss and then he bent down and pressed a kiss to her abdomen. "I love you too, baby."

"Stop or you're gonna make me cry."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't worry it's normal as well. All my hormones are out of wack."

"Looks like I have a long talk with Leo ahead of me."

"Really?"

"Yeah, he knows how to do all of this, what to expect and I don't want to be throw off balance."

"Oh."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine I told you, it's just hormones."

"Look out," said Leo as he entered the room with Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Sam. "She's gonna start the crying thing."

"I'm pregnant," said Buffy with tears in her eyes. "I am entitled to the crying thing."

"Look at what you did Leo," said Phoebe wrapping her sister in a hug.

"I'm sorry," said Leo

"It's okay, for some reason I'm just over emotional."

"How's everyone," asked Doctor Matthews as he pulled Dean's charts from the end of his bed.

"Fine," said Dean "Can I leave now?"
"Not yet," said Dr. Matthews "I have to check your vitals and see how your other injuries are doing."

"We'll be outside," said Buffy giving Dean a kiss and leaving the room with her sister, Sam and Leo.

"Are you sure you're okay," said Paige once they were in the hall.

"Yeah I'm just overexcited I guess, with everything that's been going on I'm a little tired I guess."
"Leo, why don't you and I take Buffy back to the manor, so you can look her over," said Piper "And Paige can bring Dean, Sam and Phoebe with her."

"I'm fine Piper, I don't want to leave him."

"Buffy, I just want to make sure you're fine."

"Piper," said Buffy giving Piper her resolve face.

"Fine, but once we get home, Leo's looking you over."

"Fine. I can handle taking Dean home."

"Okay, so that leaves Paige bringing Sam and Phoebe and Leo's got me so, that's all figured out."

Just then Dr. Matthews walked out.

"Well it appears that his vitals are much stronger and he seems to be healing quite nicely. I want to scedule an appointment in the next couple of days for a routine checkup."

"Um, Dr. Matthews, we're heading back to San Francisco and we'll have Dean checked out there," said Piper

"Okay, I'll transfer his records over to the hospital and once the papers are signed he's free to go."

"I'll do it," said Sam "I'll be right back. Make sure he doesn't try and make a break for it."

"Don't worry, he won't," said Buffy.

"But, I really don't want to be here."

"I know, but Sammy says stay, so... you're stuck here."

"How come when I call him Sammy I get bitched at, but when you do it he just smiles and brushes it off."

"Don't know. You'll have to ask him after you get checked out."

"Fine," said Dean crossing his arms as the doctor walked into the room.

"Ms. Summers can you wait outside while I look over the patient."

"I'll be right outside," said Buffy giving Dean a quick kiss to the forehead and walked out of the room.

"So Doc, how's everything going?"
"Well we'll find out after a quick examanation."

Outside Dean's room

"So," said Buffy with a hand rested on her stomach "Are you gonna take after your father or me? God, I never thought this day would ever happen. I never thought that I would ever get pregnant or ever find someone who loves me as much as your father does. We have to keep him safe, because you sure as hell know that he will do everything in his power to keep us safe from this demon."

"Damn staight he will,"said Sam walking towards Buffy "As will I, that is my nephew you're carrying."

"Or niece," said Buffy "Woah, holly shit. I think Dean and I have a future soccer star on our hands. Come here," Buffy said grabbing Sam's hand and placing it on her stomach.

"I think it's just gas," said Piper comming around the corner with Leo, Phoebe and Paige "That doesn't happen till a bit later."

"Oh," said Buffy blushing

"What's my future wife blushing at now," said Dean walking out of his room with the Doctor at his side.

"She thought the baby was kicking and she placed my hand on her stomach to feel and well, Piper says it's just gas."

"Really," said Dean with a laugh

"Hey," said Buffy "I'm new at this."

"Don't worry honey," said Piper "We'll all be here to help."

"Thanks guys," said Buffy with tears welling up in her eyes

"Oh, jeez here she goes again," said Dean

"Get used to it," said Phoebe "It happens alot."

"Along with 2 a.m. cravings," said Leo

"And mood swings," said Paige

"Shit," said Dean running a hand through his hair

"There will be none of that either," said Phoebe

"What," said Dean

"No cursing," said the Halliwell sisters laughing at what had just happened.

"Ha ha," said Dean "Can I go now," he asked turning to Dr. Matthews

"You're free to go Mr. Winchester."

"Let's get the hell out of here," said Dean wrapping his arm around Buffy's waist and they walked out off the hospital with Sam, Paige, Piper, Phoebe and Leo following behind.

TBC... See I told you I would clear everything up. I'm gonna skip a couple months ahead.

Chapter 22

Buffy and Dean were married about 3 weeks later in a small ceremony surrounded by their family and friends. Buffy's now 5 months pregnant and pretty big for 5 months. Leo had healed Dean and Sam the second they got to the manor. It's the middle of the night and Buffy's craving some Fudge Chocolate Chip ice cream and they had run out the night before.

"Dean," said Buffy poking Dean in the shoulder to wake him up "Dean, I'm hungry."
"Hmm," said Dean mumbling into the pillow

"Deeeaann."

"What," asked a very sleepy Dean

"I want ice cream."

"There's some in the freezer."

"Not the kind I want."

"Fine what kind do you want."

"Fudge Chocolate Chip with extra chocolate syrup."

"Fine, but I better be scoring some major points here."

"Hey, I'm carrying YOUR baby mister."

"And I love you more and more each day."

"Liar, I'm big as a blimp, I'm eating more than I should," Buffy started with tears welling up in her eyes.

"No, you're incredibly beautiful and we'll find out tommorrow why you're eating more than you should."

"I love you," Buffy said giving Dean a kiss

"I love you too," he said as he deepened the kiss. "I'll be right back," said Dean as he pulled away reaching for his pants.

"Where are you going?"

"I thought you were hungry."
"I was but know I just want you," she sai pulling Dean back into the bed and deepening the kiss.

They spent most of the night exploring each others bodies and discussing what to name the baby.

9 O'Clock in the morning.

Dean awakes to the sound of his and Buffy's alarm clock. He rolls over and wraps his arm around her body and snuggles into her warm body.

"Hmm, Buffy... Buffy."

"What?"

"You need to wake up."

"Why?"
"Remember your doctor's appointment. The one at 10:30."

"I don't want to."

"Well you have to. Now up, gotta see how that little one in there is doing," he said placing a kiss to her growing abdomen.

"Fine, but I'm taking a shower alone. So don't even think about it Winchester," she yelled and slammed the bathroom door.

"Shit," cursed Dean "What the hell did I do now?"

"Hey," said Leo as he poked his head through the door. "Everything okay?"

"She's pissed off at something. You and I both know that Buffy only calls me "Winchester" when she's pissed off at me."

"It's mood swings, trust me. I went through them with Piper. Everything will be fine."

"I hope so," said Dean running a hand through his hair.

30 Minutes later

"Well let's go, Winchester. You woke me up, so let's go," she said heading out the room and down the stairs

"I'm coming," said Dean as he pulled on his shoes and followed her to his Impala, which was now fully repaired.

Downtown at the Hospital

"Hi, I'm Dr. Nikolai. You must be Mr. and Mrs. Winchester. Follow me," she said leading them down the hall and into the room. "Alright Mrs. Winchester, climb up onto the table and will start the sonogram.

Buffy climbed up onto the table with the help of her husband and laid back.

"Um, Dr. Nikolai I have a couple of questions," said Buffy

"Okay."

"Is there any reason why I'm so big for 5 months?"

"And so bitchy," added Dean

"Watch it Winchester or you're sleeping on the couch."

"Well," said Dr. Nikolai "We'll find out as soon as we can."

Dr. Nikolai began to start the procedure and quickly brought up a picture on the sonogram machine.

"Well, here's the heartbeat..."

"What," asked Buffy

"I should say "heartbeats"."

"Wait," began Dean "Heartbeats?"

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Winchester, you're having twins."

And with that Dean Winchester dropped his wife's hand and fell to the ground.

TBC... Any suggestions for baby names?
