~FLASHBACK~

"Sammy, there's something I need to tell you. I've been avoiding it, but it's kind of important and something you need to know. You might want to sit down for this." I said, fidgeting. I had been trying to figure out how to tell Sam that I was pregnant for a while and had finally decided to just blurt it out.

"Is everything okay?" He asked, nervously, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Uh, sorta. I'm..." I trailed of, my nerves getting the better of me. "Sam, I'm-"

"Luce!" Bobby burst into the room, out of breath."You gotta come down and see this!"

"What is it?"

"It's Selena! She's walking!"

My eyes shot open and I ran out of the room, followed by Bobby and Sam. I made my way down the stairs to find Selena walking with Dean. Dean was seated on the edge of the couch, holding out his hands for Selena to hold while she walked toward him. She turned her head to look to me when she heard me come down the stairs.

"Lucy!" She smiled before starting to walk toward me. She took one step, but then stopped and turned back to Dean, "Daddy, help."

My heart began to melt when Dean took her hand and helped her walk to me. Yes, she had called Dean 'dad', but it's only natural, considering he and her dad were identical, but she didn't call me 'mom'. I was so worried that she would start to truly believe that I was her mother, and it hurt me to think that she'd forget about Leila. I was so overcome with joy when Selena finally made it to me and I held her in my arms, that I completely forgot all my worries about being pregnant and not knowing how to tell Sam.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

I stood in the middle of the toy section, staring at the assortment of dolls. Christmas was only a few days away and I still hadn't finished shopping. I had finished shopping for Sam, Dean, and Bobby, but I still had one more thing to buy Selena, a doll.

"Why is this so hard?" I thought, "I was a little girl once. Why is it so difficult for me to pick a doll?"

I spotted a classic Raggedy Ann doll and picked it up. "Would Selena like this?" I asked myself.

"Can I help you with something ma'am?" An employee of the store asked, walking up to me. "I couldn't help but notice that you've been staring at the doll display for the past twenty minutes."

"Have I really been here that long?" I laughed, a nervous feeling surging through me. My gut was telling me that this was no ordinary employee. I stared at the doll in my hands for a another second, keeping an eye on the man. "Actually, I'm think I'm fine. Thanks anyway, but I think this is the one I want." I smiled and sat the doll in the cart before turning the cart around to leave the aisle. I swiveled around to see myself alone in the aisle. I looked around the area he was standing in, looking for anything that could be evidence that he was a supernatural being, but not finding anything. "Pregnancy has made me paranoid," I sighed.


"Luce?" Sam called out to me from downstairs.

"Be down in a minute!" I called back as I finished wrapping my last present and hiding them under my bed before putting away all my supplies. I hustled down the stairs and ran into Sam. "Sorry, what do you need?"

"Dean and I found a hunt. I didn't know if you were gonna come with us or not."

"Uh, I'm gonna stay here. Gotta give Selena a real Christmas, ya know? When are you leaving?"

"Uh, now, I guess, since we don't have to wait for you to pack."

"Now?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Do you think you'll be back in time for Christmas?"

"Probably not. Why?"

"Then I'll go ahead and give you two your presents! But you're not to open them until Christmas, understand?" I smiled before running up the stairs and retrieving their gifts.

I followed Sam and Dean out the door and put their presents in the back seat, making sure they were secure and wouldn't move.

"Do we really have to wait 'til Christmas?" Dean whined.

"Of course! It's tradition!" I smiled as the two got in the Impala. "You two be safe. Dean?"

"Yeah?"

"Make sure Sammy comes back in one piece."

"Hey!" Sam laughed.

"Will do."

"Alrighty. See you guys soon. Have fun!"


A/N: Sorry for the delay! I finally got around to writing today and then when I went back to read what I wrote, it had a part of the plot that I don't want to bring out just yet.. So instead, you get this short little filler chapter :) Oh, and word to the wise from the not-so-wise, never drink lemonade after eating pepperoni.. It tastes kinda like bubble gum.. but not a good bubble gum... just, fyi ^_^
