Chapter 12
Dean wasn't sure what they were supposed to do with Lauren now so he took her to the only place where she would be safe, Bobby's. When they got there Sam was the one to help Lauren out of the car and inside. Dean did what he did best and headed straight to the liquor cabinet. Sam took Lauren into the den and sat her on her couch. "I have to grab a few things for your leg. Try not to move." He told her. As he walked out Bobby walked in and took a seat in front of her.
The look on his face made her a little uneasy and she knew that Dean must have told him everything. "So I am guessing you are going to tell me what a piece of crap I am for what I did to Dean or better yet tell me I should be dead." She said to him.
"Is that what you want me to say?" Bobby asked her.
"Honestly no because I have heard it all before. I have had a really bad day and I don't think I can handle being bitched at right now." Lauren said.
"I am not here to bitch at you. You aren't my favorite person right now and I aint going to pretend you are but the fact is that you are like any other job to us right now. I want you to make yourself comfortable but don't think I am going to pity you in any way."
"I understand that."
"Alright with that said, can I get you anything?" he asked her. Lauren was starving but it wasn't her place to ask him for anything. Lauren bit her lip and shook her head no. She didn't want to be here but she didn't want to die either. "Well if you change your mind you remember where everything is at." He told her.
"Thanks."
"Don't thank me yet." Bobby said as he got up and walked into the kitchen where Dean was sitting with a tall glass of whiskey. "Want to talk about it?"
"Nope. It's pretty damn clear how I feel about the situation." Dean said.
"Alright then so lets discuss our options here. Heaven wants her dead and well hell just wants her right now." Bobby said.
"Yeah I know. I mean first Anna and now Lauren. What the hell? Do we attract crazy chicks or something?" Dean said.
"No I think it's just you." Bobby smiled.
"It's not funny. What the hell are we going to do with her now? I mean this chick in your living room that is going to possibly give birth to demon spawn. I'm sorry but this is above my pay grade." Dean said.
"Tell me about it but Dean she didn't deserve to die and you know it. We have to do our job and help her out of this. After that she is on her own." Bobby said
"Well I hope you know a thing or two on taking care of a pregnant woman because I don't have a freakin clue." Dean said.
"Neither do I but I think I know someone who does. I will call her." Bobby said.
Sam was almost done wrapping up Laurens leg when he finally decided to get a few answers from her. "So Lauren I have to ask, why did you do it? To Dean I mean."
"Sam it's a long story." Lauren said.
"Dean told me what happened in hell. Was it pay back or something?" sam asked.
"Yes and no. I hated Dean so yes I wanted to hurt him but the main thing was he was my chance to get out of hell. It was selfish but I felt like I had every right to be. I never meant for things to go this far." Lauren said.
"I can understand that I guess but you know he isn't going to forgive you." Sam said
"Yeah I know. That's just something I have to live with I guess." Lauren said as she looked down as her small stomach.
"Can I ask you something kind of personal?" Sam asked.
"You saved my life so ask anything you want." Lauren told him.
"Did you know that you could possibly be carrying a demon's baby?"
Lauren wanted to be honest with him even if it meant that he would judge her, "Yes I knew."
"And yet you still chose to keep it?"
"I found out about two months ago that I was pregnant. I was terrified and alone. My first thought was that this baby could be Alistair's and the very though makes me sick. I wanted to end it right the and there but God help he I couldn't do that. The more I though about it the more I realized that this baby is part of me. Not matter what he or she is or is not." Lauren said.
"I understand that." Sam could relate to that. He had demon blood in him and that didn't make him a bad person at all. "But what if the baby isn't a part demon?"
"Then I will be happy about that but I won't love him or her any more. I love this baby and that's all that matters to me."
"Have you ever though about what will happen if the baby is normal?" Sam asked. He was slowly getting to the fact that the baby may be Dean but he didn't want to just come out and say it just yet.
"What do you mean?" Lauren asked him
"I mean if it's not a demon than they are normal so that means they have a normal father."
"You mean Dean right?" Sam nodded to her, "If it is then it is. I don't expect anything from him. I can do just fine on my own. Plus me and him raising a child together wouldn't work out. Dean isn't really the father type."
"I guess you right." Sam said and put the final bandage on, "All done."
"Thank you Sam."
"Your welcome. Do you want me to help you upstairs?"
"No I think I will just stay here."
"Are you sure?"
"Considering the circumstances I think it would be better if I just stayed down here."
"Ok well goodnight."
"Goodnight Sam." Lauren said and watched him walk out of the room. She placed her hand on her belly and smiled, "You're not evil are you? I think you are going to be just fine." Dean and Bobby stood outside the den and they had listened to Lauren and Sam's conversation. Both had mixed feeling about her. Whether they trust her or not they knew they had to help her.
The next morning when Dean woke up, he walked down stair and saw Lauren curled up on the couch. He stood there in the doorway and watched her sleep for a minute. She was the one person he never thought he would see again. He told himself he never wanted to see her again but the fact was she was always on his mind every morning when he woke up and every night when he went to sleep. He would often find himself worrying about her and wondering if maybe he was too harsh on her then he would remember how she lied to him. He realized she was not the person he thought she was. Dean looked at her and just shook his head. He would never let himself get close to her again.
Lauren woke up and sat up on the couch as she rubbed her eyes. When she looked up she saw Dean standing in the doorway. "What are you doing?" she asked him and he tossed her a small bag. "What's this?"
"It will hide you from angel and demons for now until we can figure all this out." He told her.
"Thanks." She said.
"Don't thank me. I'm just doing my job." He said and turned around. Lauren rolled her eyes. This was going to be a long few months. She stood up just as there was a knock at the door. Dean came out of the kitchen and opened it up. Dean was shocked at who he saw, "Missouri?" he smiled "What are you doing here?"
"Well Bobby called me and told me all about the situation here and I took the first flight out." She said, "Well don't just stand there boy. Take my bag upstairs….without the attitude."
"I didn't say anything." Dean said.
"Yeah but you wanted to and while your up there send Bobby down here." Dean just smiled and picked up the bag. Just as he was about to head up stairs, he saw Lauren in the doorway, "Missouri that's…."
"Lauren... I know Dean."
"Of course you do." Dean said and walked up the stairs.
Lauren looked at the lady was a little confused, "Have we met?"
"No baby but I know all about you." Missouri said and walked closer to Lauren and grabbed her hands, "Sweetie, don't be scared. No one here is going to hurt you or that baby. Not while I am around." She smiled and looked into Laurens eyes, "All that build up anger isn't good for your baby."
"I'm not…."
"You don't have to lie to me. I can feel it. You are keeping your feeling bottle inside and that's not good for either one of you. The only feeling that baby has right now if yours. She learns from her mother."
"She?" Lauren asked.
"I'm so sorry. Did you not want to know?"
"No that's fine but you know it's a girl?" Lauren asked her with a smile.
"I know a lot of things and I know she is happy and healthy in there for now. Don't you worry about a thing. I am going to take care of you both." Missouri said.
"But what about everything that's going on with me?"
"Honey I don't care. Right now my job is to make sure that baby get here safe and it all starts with mama so you go sit down and I am going to go make you some breakfast." Missouri gave her a reassuring smile as she headed toward the kitchen, "Dean when you are done with that get your ass down here and give me a hand…..stop cursing at me boy." Lauren smiled to herself. She was going to like having Missouri around.
*For the life of me I couldn't figure out who I wanted Bobby to call and then I was watching season one Home and I was like I loved Missouri and always wanted her to come back so there you go. Plus she is funny and fun to write. So I hope you liked and what is going to happen when Lauren stops bottling up her emotions? I think Dean might get an earful from Lauren : ) Anyways Review please!
