1 MONTH LATER (R – 36 WEEKS / D - 6 ½ MONTHS)

School was stressing the baby out too much so Dr. Rosen put Riley on bed rest and she hates it. She just wants to go to school and walk around. It's like torture. She is definitely a Winchester.

Dean was growing pretty big. After Becky told him he needed to gain weight to keep the baby healthy, he did grow. He gained a good 20-25 pounds. "Ri, how are you feeling today? Wanna move down to the couch?"

"Yeah, sure, a little exercise might be good. My back is killing me today."

"Just four more weeks, honey."

Dean helped Riley out of the bed. The truth was that Riley had been feeling these sharp pains all night. She just shrugged them off as the baby is running out of room. Once they were out of her room and half way down the stairs Riley felt another one of those pains that she had not five minutes ago. She tried to mask the pain until they were downstairs. Right when they got downstairs the pain had faded away. She sat on the couch and Dean walked into the kitchen. He shut the kitchen down and turned to Cas who was sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee.

"She's in labor, Cas." Dean whispered.

"What makes you say that? She would know when she's in labor."

"You have like little contractions before your water breaks and gets really bad."

"How do you know she is in labor?"

"She's trying to mask contractions right now so we don't get worried. Can you go get a bag ready for her. We need to get her to the hospital."

"I thought we were going to have a home birth for her?"

"That was before we knew the baby was going to be premature."

"Alright, you need to tell Riley right now."

Dean sat down and rubbed his extended belly. Cas sat back on his heels and rubbed Dean's belly. Cas kissed the top of the swollen abdomen. "Are you behaving for Uncle Dean?"

"I think I woke her up. I think I stressed her out a little."

"Well, sit tight for a little while. Keep in ear shot of Riley."

"Good things it's Wednesday. Don't have to worry about finding someone to watch over the trips."

"Always finding the bright side in things. Let me go get some stuff packed for Riley." Cas kissed Dean and walked over of the kitchen, pass Riley, and upstairs.

Dean wasn't sitting there for long. "Dad…" he heard Riley whimper.

He slowly got to his feet and Riley. She was leaning forward slightly and rubbing circles on both sides of her belly. "What's wrong, Ri?"

"I think I'm in labor. These pains really hurt."

"Has your water broken yet?"

"No, not yet. Dad, I'm scared."

"It's ok, baby girl. Papa's already upstairs fixing you a bag We are going to take you to a hospital. I would feel more comfortable if we were at the hospital for you to have her."

"I don't want to be in labor right now. I'm not ready. I'm not due for another month. Dad, I'm terrified."

"I know, honey. I was scared too. I'm going to be with you the whole time. Well, Deanna will be with you the whole time."

"Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me, baby girl. I was going to do it anyway if you like or not." Riley smiled before another contraction hit. "I'm going to call Sam and Gabe really fast and then we'll go."

Dean pulled out his phone.

"Dean?"

"Hey, Sammy. Get Gabe to change me fast."

"Why?"

"We are taking Riley to the hospital. She is going into labor."

"She can't be it's too early."

"Just 4 weeks. Just a little premature. Cas read about this just in case, with girl it's ok, risky, but ok."

"Hold on, a minute. Let me get Gabe."

"What's up, Dean-o?"

"I need you to change me now. Cas and I are taking Riley to the hospital."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"She's going into labor."

"She's a month early. That's a little risky."

"I know but can you just change me, please?"

"Well, since you asked so nicely. Sure."

Dean heard Gabe snap his fingers and Dean could feel his body change. "Thanks Gabe, I'll call you and Sam when I'm a granddad."

"Have fun, Dean-o." Gabe hung up.

Cas came down the stairs with an overnight bag. "Alright, let's go, sweetheart."

The now female Dean helped Riley to her feet. They made it outside and Cas got in the driver's seat and started the car. Riley stopped in her tracks and leaned over a bit in pain of a contraction. She squeezed Dean's hand. "It's ok, baby. Ride it out. We can move when you're ready."

She looked over at her father in the female body and nodded. She stood up straight and they began to walk to the car slowly before she felt a gush of liquid run down her legs. "Oh God. Daddy…"

Dean faced Riley. Dean gave Riley a once over and saw the puddle forming at Riley's feet. "It's ok, sweetheart. We are going to get you to the hospital quickly."

Riley nodded before a very intense contraction hit. Dean helped her into the back seat and they drove the 20 minutes to the hospital. Cas had called Becky and told her Riley was in labor. She said she had a private room ready for her.

Cas drove to the entrance of the hospital. Dean helped Riley out and into the building. Dean sat Riley down in a chair so Dean could walk to the front desk. "Hi, my husband called ahead. My daughter is in labor."

"Oh, right, Riley Winchester?"

"Yes, that's her."

A nurse brought a wheelchair out and walked over to Riley. The nurse helped Riley into the chair and began to walk towards the doors. Dean held Riley's hand until they got to the room. Dean helped Riley change. Cas came in 15 minutes later. Riley was only 5 centimeters dilated.

"It hurts so bad, Daddy. Can I have an epidural?"

"I'll ask, sweetie." Dean got up but Riley grabbed her Dad…moms hand.

"No, stay with me, Papa, can you go?"

Cas nodded and walked out of the room. He walked up to the nurse station. "Hello, my daughter is in a lot of pain because of the contractions. Is there any way she could have an epidural?"

"Who is her doctor?"

"Dr. Rosen."

"What is your daughter's name?"

"Riley…Riley Winchester."

"Alright, I can get a nurse to bring her something for the pain."

"Thank you, oh, yeah, Is Nurse Robinson working today?"

"Yes, why?"

"She has helped my wife through labor and delivery two out of the three times she has had a baby."

"I can get her to bring the epidural."

"Thank you." Cas walked back to the Riley's room.

Riley was moaning in pain. Dean was lying on the bed with her. Riley had her head on Dean's stomach. She was curled up on her side. They were crammed in there, but somehow Riley didn't seem to care. Neither did Dean. "It hurts so much."

"I know, baby girl. You don't have much longer." Dean ran her fingers through Riley's hair.

Cas walked over to Riley and slowly rubbed Riley's back. "Ri, honey, Cassie is going to come up and give you an epidural."

Cas walked over to the chair beside the bed and saw Dr. Rosen walk into the room. "Hello, Riley, De, Cas."

"Dr. Rosen, please tell me you can give me an epidural."

Dean slid off the bed but stayed beside Riley. Cas slid his chair closer to the bed. He grabbed Dean by his…her waist and pulled her into his lap. Dean laughed. Dean took Riley's hand again. "You need to stay off your feet, De."

Cas rubbed Dean's stomach up and down. "Alright, Riley, slid your bottom to the end of the bed and put your legs in the stirrups so I can check you out before we give you the epidural." She checked Riley out. "Well, Riley, you're cutting it close. You're 7 centimeters now. If you were eight I don't think we could have given you any."

"Thank God."

"Now, sweetie, I'm going to need you to lie on your side and curl up as tight as you can. You're going to feel a pinch." Becky said as Cassie walked in with the kit to do the epidural.

Dean took Riley's hands in hers. Cassie gave the epidural. !5 minutes later the pain had faded away. Riley could get some sleep before she had to push.

"I wish I had used an epidural when I was delivering Riley, or the twins, even triplets."

"At least she could get some sleep."

"Can I get out of your lap now?"

"Nope, you're staying here."

"Well, your niece is bouncing on my bladder. Unless you want me to pee on you, you should let me up."

Cas smirked and let Dean out of his grip. She got up and walked to the bathroom. She was washing her hands when she heard Riley waking up. "Oh God, Dad. Dad, I have to…I have to push."

Dean walked out of the bathroom and Cas walked down the hall to be find Dr. Rosen walking down the hall.

"Riley, don't push yet. Wait, honey. I know it's hard but you're going to have to wait."

"Dad, I have to…I have to…ugh!"

"Do not push yet, wait for Dr. Rosen."

Cas walked back into the room with Becky. "Hold on one second, Riley. Let me check you out."

Beck sat on a chair and rolled between Riley's legs. Cassie walked in with a delivery kit. Becky could already to the baby crowning. "Alright, Riley, you can push on the next contraction."

"Ri, baby, you're about to be a mommy."

"I know, I know." Riley said as a contraction hit and Riley began to push. She squeezed Dean's hand and Cas walked to the other side of Riley and she grabbed his hand.

"Good, good, good, another big push." Dean said.

"It hurts. Oh my God it hurts."

"I know it does, believe me, I know. Give it all you got, sweetheart."

Riley bored down and pushed as hard as she could. "Great push, honey. The head is out."

"I can't, I'm too tired."

"You have to do this, baby girl. You have to give two more pushes."

Riley just looked at Dean then closed her eyes and pushed again. She pushed the shoulders out then took a breath and pushed again. She gasped when she felt the baby slide out of her.

"Here's your little baby girl." Becky set the little squealing baby on Riley's chest.

"What's her name, darling?" Dean asked.

"Candice Taylor Winchester."

"That's a beautiful name."

"Riley, I'm going to take little Candice here, and get her checked out. I have to make sure she is ok because she is premature." Cassie said.

Riley nodded and Cassie scooped little Candice up.

"Ri, you want me to call Uncle Sammy or do you want to later?" Dean asked.

"Can I call him now?"

"Sure thing." Dean pulled out his phone.
