Chapter 12

Dean stared at Sam, a grin slowly spreading across his face. He was happy that Sam had found someone he could share his life with but at the same time he was kind of sad because it really meant that Sam wouldn't be hunting with them anymore.

"When is this going to happen?" John asked. Sam smiled nervously.

"Tonight, provided everything goes well" Sam said frowning. He hoped and prayed he wouldn't get a migraine tonight of all nights. He had put a lot of time into planning this evening. Dean being the older brother he was, could tell immediately where his little brothers thought's had gone.

"You'll be fine" Dean said reaching out and placing his hand on Sam's shoulder, "she'll say yes and you will live happily ever after with about twelve kids." Sam laughed softly at his brother's attempts at cheering him up.

"I can always count on you to say something totally outrageous" Sam muttered "I don't plan on having twelve kids." Sam glanced down at his watch; he had an hour to get ready for dinner.

"You better go on" John said "you don't want to be late

"You guys want to meet her after dinner?" Sam asked walking out the door.

"Of course we do" Dean answered for John "Gotta make sure she's good enough for you."

"Just don't embarrass me too much." Sam said disappearing into his own room. Dean shook his head. He had never figured this would be how the day ended. Not with the news Sam had shared just a little while earlier.

"Think you'll be able to concentrate on the hunt?" John asked noting the lost in thought expression on Dean's face.

"With everything that's going on currently, not very likely" Dean muttered but sat down in front of the laptop once more.

"Well, suck it up" John said "Sam won't be back for a little while, until then we can work on finding out who's the big bad wolf." Dean frowned he would much rather think about finding a way out of Sam dying on them.

Sam entered his own room quietly, only to find Jessica was already up and getting ready. He smiled, seeing that she was wearing his favorite slim black dress. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. His hands going to lay flat on her stomach; he wished he could feel the baby move already, but alas she wasn't that far along. Jessica smiled and leaned back against him. She couldn't possibly be any happier than she was now, though she knew that would be changing in a matter of months. She didn't want to imagine just how much it was going to hurt to lose him.

She sighed as happy as she would be to remain in Sam's arms forever they both had to finish getting ready for dinner. Jessica slipped out from Sam's arms reluctantly.

"I have to brush my teeth and you need a shower, you stink" She told Sam as she went into the restroom. When Jessica had disappeared Sam went over to the drawer that contained clothes, reaching into it, Sam pulled out the ring he had chosen for Jessica. He really couldn't wait till he would be able to give it to her. He hoped she would be happy. Her happiness meant his happiness.

Slipping the ring into his jacket pocket; Sam went over and sat down on the bed. As he waited Sam lay back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. He had never imagined this would happen for him. He had almost always imagined himself as a hunter until the fateful day he had received the scholarship to Stanford. Sam had obviously taken it.

Hearing Jessica come out of the restroom, Sam sat up and lumbered to his feet. Jessica smiled at the gentle giant in front of her. It was still hard to believe this man had fallen in love with her. There wasn't a day that went by that she felt like the luckiest person on the planet.

"Hurry up, we don't want to be late" Jessica said standing on her tips toes to press a kiss to Sam's lips. Sam smiled laughing softly.

"You know I don't want to make us late" with that Sam headed into the bathroom and closed the door. Jessica heard the shower start a few seconds later.

By the time Sam had finished with his shower and had gotten dressed Jessica was finished getting ready and was waiting patiently in the chair by the window.

"I take it your ready to go?" Sam asked reaching down and grabbing his shoes.

"Of course" Jessica stated keeping her eyes trained on the man she loved. Almost afraid that if she took her eyes off of him he would disappear.

Finishing with his shoes, Sam looked up and noticed Jessica watching him. He smiled he knew she was worried but he didn't think that tonight she really had anything to be afraid of. He felt better than he had for a long time. He just hoped it would last for the night. Jessica stood and Sam followed her out the door. Sam grabbed her hand in his and walked to the car.

Twenty minutes later found them at the Italian restaurant, the one Jessica loved to eat at but really couldn't afford too, because it was so expensive.

She turned and looked at Sam, she loved Sam even more for knowing her favorite restaurant of all time.

"How can you afford this place" she asked as Sam got out and walked around the car to open her door.

"Trust me" Sam said "I have been saving for a while." As they walked into the restaurant Sam noticed the '67 black Impala parked not far from them. Sam had invited Dean and John to meet Jessica after he had proposed to her. He hoped they had gotten a table somewhere near him and Jess.

They only had to wait five minutes before they were led to their table. Sam noted that Dean and John were only one table away. He gave them a nervous smile and Dean flashed him a thumbs up and a cocky grin. Sam turned his attention back to Jessica. Tonight was all about her and their relationship. They talked and laughed about the memories through the dinner. After the dinner was over and they had ordered their desert Sam could his nervousness beginning to make itself known again. Biting his lip, Sam reached into his pocket and as he pulled it out; he got down on one knee in front of Jessica. As he kneeled down he hit by such an agonizing migraine, he nearly threw up on the spot. Dropping the ring, Sam reached up and clutched his head, unaware the blood began dripping down his face from his nose. Sam moaned as the pain only grew worse, and his eyes just rolled up in the back of his head and he fell forward onto the floor.

Jessica had enjoyed having dinner with Sam and at the end of it was surprised when Sam had gotten down on one knee. Jessica felt tears well up in her eyes when she realized Sam was asking her to marry him, only watch in horror as another migraine hit him and he ended up collapsing onto the floor.

Dean and John watched Sam get down on one knee and in less then two minutes collapse onto the floor. Dean and John both jumped up and ran to his side. Dean reached down and placed his fingers on Sam's neck, he was relieved to find his brothers pulse was strong, but was still terrified because he had no idea why Sam was lying unconscious on the floor.

"Somebody call 911" John shouted as Jessica and him kneeled down beside Sam. John felt fear race through his heart as he saw the blood freely streaming from Sam's nose. Please don't him be dying now John thought Sam can't die now, he can't leave us like this. Dean was nearly beside himself with fear, he didn't know what was going on but he really hoped this wasn't Sam's time. He was scared he would never get to talk to his brother again. That fear was only made worse as his brother stopped breathing completely.

It seemed like an hour had passed before the paramedics had arrived but it had only been about ten minutes. They pushed the worried family members aside. They had a job to do. Another life to save. Within five minutes they had forced a tube down Sam's throat, connecting it to an ambu bag where one of the medics began furiously pumping air into Sam's lungs.

Dean watched in horror he never wanted to see his brother like this again but even as he watched Jessica completely fell apart. As the girl began crying; Dean reached out and pulled her against his chest. He didn't know her but his brother loved her and that was enough for Dean.

Five minutes later the medics had Sam loaded on an gurney and was pushing him towards the exit, and through the people standing around gawking, which only served to make John irritated, his son didn't deserve to be stared at like he was a freak.

As the paramedics were rushing Sam towards the exit, Dean stood and pulled Jessica to his feet with him. As they headed for the exit, Dean wrapped his arm around the girls shoulders. He felt bad for her, tonight was supposed to be the best night of her life instead it had been turned into a complete nightmare.

Having made their exit, Dean pushed Jessica toward the Impala.

"We'll come back and get your car after we find out what's going on." Dean said he wasn't about to let the upset girl drive. She would probably wind up getting herself killed, which Sam most definitely did not need. Entering the car with John driving and Dean sitting in the back with Jessica they made it to the hospital not five minutes after the ambulance did.

Rushing into the ER they headed straight for the nurses' station located at the entrance to the waiting room. Dean of course, headed straight for it despite knowing they wouldn't know anything about Sam since he had just arrived their themselves.

While Dean was pestering the nurses about Sam, John and Jessica went and found a seat in the fairly crowded room. They sat down across from each other, in an uncomfortable silence.

"So, you're the Jessica my boy has fallen head over heels in love with" John said quietly. She nodded, feeling a bit shy with being around Sam's father.

"Yeah, I'm just as crazy about him" she said softly, with tears still running down her face.

"Sam deserves to be happy" John stated "I was kinda rough on him growing up, but in the business we are in, its be tough or die. I didn't want Sam to end up in an early grave. I thought I had Sam prepared for anything, and everything just not what he's going through now." John said sighing and reaching up and scrubbing his jaw.

"I'm sure you done the best you could with Sam" Jessica murmured "nobody can be prepared for what's going on now." Just then Dean wondered back over to them and sat down beside his father with a scowl on his face.

"They don't know anything" he muttered, feeling even more scared for his brother.

"He just go here" John reminded him "they won't know anything for a while yet."

"Which is perfect cause I really want to know what is going on" Dean sighed and looked over at Jessica.

"I'm Dean by the way." She smiled at him, she had already figured out who was who, just by the way Sam had described them. John by his rough manner and Dean by his cocksureness, but there was undoubtedly something they both had in common and that was their love for Sam.
