By: Dean Winchesters GuardianAngel & April3604

Sorry it took so long to update. We both have been really busy with our other stories. We only have one chapter to go of this story :( Hope you guys like the update and review!


"So that was your big plan?" asked Sam grabbing Dean and pulling him on the couch. "Telling him like that?"

Lys hit Sam in the back of the head causing him to jump, "Ouch! Lys!"

"Be nice she's fragile in her condition," said Lys.

"I am right here you guys!" yelled Candy and she turned back to Dean. She tapped his cheek lightly. "Dean, Dean, baby…Dean…" She ran her hand through his hair and then ran the back of her hand against his cheek.

Lys saw Dean waking up and knew Candy and him had to be alone. She grabbed Sam's hand and motioned towards the kitchen.

"Dean…honey," Candy said gently still caressing his cheek.

Dean moaned lightly and moved his head. He blinked a few times and saw Candy looking down at him. He quickly sat up and shook his head. "Whoa, I had the craziest dream." He saw the whiskey on the table that Lys and Sam were drinking earlier and grabbed it guzzling it down. He took a deep breath and Candy looked at him nervously.

"You said you were pregnant but you and I both know that can't happen…" He put the bottle to his lips and she looked away. "Jesus Christ…" he said in almost a whisper.

He set the whiskey on the table and she wouldn't look at him. She didn't know how to look at him without seeing the pain, fear and anger in his eyes. "This is just fucking great!" yelled Dean kicking the coffee table and getting off the couch.

Candy jumped seeing this side of Dean. Sure she's seen him angry but not to the point where he was kicking the furniture. "How could you let this happen?"

Candy jumped from the couch and looked at him angrily. Her eyeliner and mascara was smeared from crying and tears had stained her face. "It takes more than one person to get pregnant Dean! So you are also to blame in this!"

"You're supposed to be on the pill!"

"Oh I'm sorry maybe I missed a day because of a hunt or something! So this is all my fault? You're going to blame me for this?"

"I need to blame someone!"

Candy clenched her teeth before she broke down in more tears. "That's right blame me! Go ahead Dean not that I have the weight of the fucking deal on my shoulders but now I'm carrying your fucking child and in less than a month I'm gonna be fucking dead…" she shook her head.

"Don't give me the fucking tears alright! You won't get any sympathy from me!"

Candy grabbed her wedding ring and threw it at him and he caught it. "Screw you! I want you out of my life. I'll figure the deal and this baby out on my own. I don't need you!" She stormed up the stairs and Dean heard the bedroom door slam.

Dean stared at the wedding ring in his hand. His heart was breaking from everything that had just happened. Candy was pregnant and in less than a month the two of them were going to lose the baby and their own lives.

"What happened?" asked Lys as her and Sam watched from the crack in the door. Bobby was standing against the wall with his hand pressed to his mouth.

Bobby turned to Lys and Sam and Lys looked at him. "I believe they just ended their marriage."

Sam's puppy eyes came out and Lys opened the kitchen door and walked out pass Dean. "Asshole," she growled and walked up the stairs after Candy.

Lys walked up to Candy's door and knocked, "Candy….Are you awake?" she asked as she walked in the room.

Candy was lying on the bed and her face was red from crying, "I hate him Lys." She said and sat up.

"You don't hate him Candy. You're just…..pissed right not and you have every right to be."

"How could he blame this on me? I didn't screw myself."

"Men are jerks sometimes when it comes to this kind of thing. Maybe he just panicked." Lys said and sat down next to her sister.

"You think?" Candy said sarcastically, "I'm sorry Lys."

"It's ok. Mood swings are just part of it."

"How could I let this happen?"

Lys wrapped her arm around her sobbing sister, "Don't blame yourself. These things just happen. We will get through this. Just like we always do."

"But I have a month left until…."

"Shhhh, don't think about that right now. We will figure this all out. I am going to make you a doctor's appointment first thing in the morning."

"Why even bother?"

"Candace Thompson Winchester! I don't want to hear you talk like that. From now on the only job you have is to take care of my niece of nephew. Leave the rest to me and Sam." Lys said as she squeezed her sister tight, "Everything is going to be ok Candy."


The next morning, Dean and Bobby were in the salvage yard fixing up an old shelby mustang when Dean looked up and saw Candy walking out the front door and over to her car. Their eyes met for a second but she turned away and got into the car. Dean wanted to talk to her but he wasn't sure what to say. He felt bad for reacting the way he did but this was the last thing they needed right now.

Bobby watched Dean and knew he had to say something, "Any idea where she is going this early?"

"I heard her talking to Lys about a doctor's appointment today."

"Why aren't you going with her?"

"Bobby we have one month left. What's the point on getting excited over a baby we will never have? Its kind of pointless isn't it? I mean even if I wanted to go, she doesn't want me there."

"Dean you are just as stubborn as your dad. To prideful to admit you were wrong. Candy wants you there but she is scared and hurting right now. It's not just about you Dean. She is the one carrying the baby."

"I know that but what am I supposed to do huh? Pretend everything ok when it's not."

"What would it hurt? She is having a baby Dean, your baby. What is there not to be excited about?"

Dean looked down and shook his head, "You don't get it. As of right now, we are dead in one month! There will be no baby!"

Bobby threw down his wrench and walked over to him, "Don't yell at me boy. Everyone knows time is running out and we are all working our asses off trying to find a way out for you guys but let me just ask you this, if you two get out of your deal, how are you going to feel knowing that you never heard the first heartbeat or saw your child for the first time? You can't get that back. Even if you two don't get out, at least you will dies knowing you had a family for a month and no demon can ever take that away from you."

Bobby turned and walked into the house. These kids were going to be the death of him.

Dean stood and reached into his pocket and pulled out Candy's wedding ring. He hated the fact that it wasn't on her finger. Bobby was right, he had to fix this. He wasn't going to riun their last month together. He knew what he had to do.


Candy sat in the waiting room thinking about everything that had gone on the night before. Maybe Dean did have a right to be a little upset but then again it wasn't all her fault. She never thought he would put all the blame on her, "Winchester?" Candy looked up and saw a nurse standing at the door. She placed down her magazine and got up.

She followed the nurse into the room and sat down her purse, "Will the father be joining us?" The nurse asked and Candy just shook her head. "Ok then. The doctor will be in soon and you get to see your baby." Candy just smiled and watched as the nurse walked out the door.

Once the door was closed, Candy walked around the small room and wondered how many times she would be back here.

She jumped up on the table and began to swing her feet as she waited. Candy looked down at her finger and tears came to her eyes. Was her marriage really over? She still couldn't believe Dean had acted that way. Maybe it was the hormone that made her tell Dean it was over. She was just lost and confused and needed Dean but he wasn't there and she want sure if he would ever be there for her and their child.

There was a knock at the door and for a spit second Candy thought it may have been Dean, "Mrs. Winchester?" The doctor said as he walked in.

"That's me"

"I'm Dr. Harris" he shook her hand and began looking over her chart. "So you're new here and I see it's your first pregnancy. Is that correct?"

"Yes it is"

"Alright well first we are going to do an ultrasound to see how far along you are and how everything is developing."

"Sounds good to me" she said and laid back on the table.

"Ok before we start, will the father be joining us?"

Just as Candy was about to say no once again, the door opened, "Yes he is" Dean said as he walked through the door.

Candy's face lit up when she saw him but she was still mad at him. He hurt her bad and she really wasn't sure what he was really doing here.

He stood at the door and the doctor could sense the tension in the room, "I am going to give you guys a few minute."

The doctor got up and walked out the door and Candy turned her head from Dean so he wouldn't see her cry, "What are you doing here Dean?"

"Well...I came to see our baby." he said and took the seat next to the table, "Listen Candy, I have to be honest with you...this scares the hell out of me. I mean at first it just you and me I had to save and now a baby?" Dean ran his hands over his face as a single tear rolled down his cheek.

Candy rolled over and looked at him as she reached for his hand. He looked up at her and her face was red from crying, "I'm scared Dean and I need you more than ever right now." She said and he kissed her hand.

"I am so sorry baby"

"I'm sorry too Dean. I never meant for this to happen."

"I know and it's just as much my fault. We are just both so sexy we can't stay away from each other." He said making her laugh. "These that smile I love so much."

Dean got up from his chair and pulled her into his arm," I love you Candy and I am sorry for being a jerk"

"That's ok but...can I have the jerks ring back?"

Dean smiled and pulled the ring from his pocket and slipped it onto her finger.

Dean kissed her on the lips just as the doctor walked in, "You kids ready?"

They looked at each other and Candy nodded, "As we will ever be."


One month later- 48 hours to go

Candy-8 weeks

Candy was lying on the couch with her head in Deans lap as Sam, Lys, and Bobby looked through every book they had over and over again. Time was running out and Lilith was still nowhere to be found, "Damn it!" Sam yelled as he closed yet another book. He was getting more frustrated by the minute.

"Sam calm down. We still have time." Lys said as she grabbed his hand.

Sam half smiled at her before looking over at Candy who had her eyes closed rubbing her small belly. He could feel the tears building so he jumped up and grabbed a bottle of whiskey before heading upstair.

Everyone watched him walk away and it wasn't long before they heard a door slam, "I'll go talk to him." Lys said and got up.

She walked into their room and saw Sam turn up the bottle, "Do you want to talk about it?" she asked.

"Nope" was all he said.

"Don't shut me out Sam. My sister's life is on the line here also."

"I know that Lys I just…I just don't want to talk about it right now."

Lys walked over to him and yanked the bottle from him, "Fine then lets not talk." She said and she turned the bottle up. They still had time and they were going to find away to save their sibling and unborn niece or nephew.


The next night, Dean and Candy decided to go out and enjoy what could be their last night on earth as Sam and Lys sat in the upstairs bedroom of Bobby's house watching the clock as they were about to finish off there second bottle of whiskey. They had less that 24 hours until Dean and Candy's deal came due and they were running out of options.

Lys looked over at Sam who was staring at the wall, "Sam….wh...what's wrong?" She mummbled as she straddled his lap.

"I need...I need to tell you something Lys."

"You can tell me anything Sam."

"I have demon blood in me."

Lys looked at him and wasn't sure if she heard right or not,"What are you talking about?"

"A demon bled into my mouth when I was a six months old. That's why the yellow eyed demon was after me, that's why I died and Dean made that stupid deal. It's all my fault. I'm a freak."

"Sam stop it! It's not your fault. You were only a baby and Dean made his own decision just like Candy did. We would have done the same thing."

"I know but...that doesn't change who I am. How can you love me? I can't even save your sister or my brother."

Lys saw the pain in Sam's eyes. She leaned in and began kissing him. As she began to move against his lap, Sam pulled her roughly to him and deepened the kiss. "Oh Sam.." Lys moaned as he made his was down her neck.

Sam was still holding on to his glass and went to sit it on the end table but he was so hot and turned on he slammed it down. The glass shattered, slicing open his hand. "Shit" he said looking at his hand that was covered in blood.

"Oh my God Sam. Are you ok?" Lys said and she held his hand in hers. She looked into his eyes and something came over her. Maybe it was the alcohol but she did the last thing Sam ever expected.

Lys lifted his hand to her mouth and licked the blood from his hand. As Sam watched her, he felt himself getting hard at the sight and wasnt sure why, "Lys...What are you…."

"If you're a freak then now… I am a freak too" he said and Sam noticed his blood on her lips and couldn't resist her any longer. He kissed her hard and could taste his blood on her lips and it was more intoxicating than anything he had ever experienced. Tomorrow they went to find Lilith and if it was the last thing he did, he was going to rip her apart but tonight all he wanted was Lys.

Oh the drama that has just begun! One chapter to go, what will happen? Review please!
