Dean stared at the ceiling in his bedroom. The room was a dark blue. The sun was still rising outside. The silence was nice and reassuring for Dean. It was a great time for him to think and collect his thoughts. He turned onto his side and looked at Renee. The blanket was covering her face except for her forehead. There were soft snores coming from her. Dean ran his fingers through Renee's hair. He pulled the covers down and kissed her lips. Dean closed his eyes and rested until he felt Renee moving under the covers. When he opened his eyes, he saw Renee stretching and yawning. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Dean.
"Morning," she said.
"Morning," Dean said.
"How long have you been awake for?" she asked.
"Ever since five."
"You couldn't sleep?"
"I just woke up early is all."
Renee scooted closer to Dean and kissed him. She started to tug on his sweatpants. Dean quickly stripped himself of his boxers and pants. He took of Renee's panties, the only thing she was wearing.
Dean licked his fingers and started rubbing Renee's clit. She was more sensitive since she was pregnant but the sensation felt good nonetheless. Once she was nice and wet, Dean slowly entered into her and started making love to her.
"Dean…" Renee moaned.
This was the first time they had sex in months. It felt good to finally make love to one another. Each thrust drove Renee crazier by the minute. She finally couldn't hold on any longer and finally came. Dean pulled out and came on her leg.
"Sorry about that," Dean said.
"It's fine. That felt good," Renee said.
"Glad it did," Dean said.
They got up and went into the bathroom to shower and brush their teeth. Once they were finished, they went into the living room. Lisa and Aaron were still asleep. Soon they would be waking up.
Renee was sitting at the table as Dean was taking some eggs and bacon out of the fridge.
"You think my dad will ever accept our relationship?" she asked. "Do you think he'll even want to see the baby?"
"If he doesn't then that's on him," Dean said. He placed a skillet onto the stove and turned it on. He grabbed some Pam spray from the cabinet, sprayed the skillet, and placed some of the bacon in it. "If he refuses to see the baby, he will be the ultimate dick. I know he's your father but it is true."
"I was glad when my mother snatched the phone away from him. He was getting me so worked up when he was yelling at me."
"He better not yell at you again."
"He won't. I'll just talk to my mother for the time being."
"That's what you need to continue doing. I had a dream last night that you had the baby. And I was holding her in my arms."
"You really want the baby to be a girl, huh?"
Dean flipped the bacon over then walked over to the table. He pulled up a seat next to Renee.
"I do," he said. "If it's a boy, that's fine as well. He'll be as strong as his papa. But if the baby is a girl, she'll be as terrific as her mother."
"And wonderful like her father," Renee said.
Dean started to cry as he placed his hands on Renee's stomach.
"Don't cry," she said.
"I'm sorry," Dean said. He sniffed a few times. "I can't help it, Nae. I just can't help it. It pisses me off when I hear the shit your father has said to you and how he's acting. You deserve better than that, dammit. You deserve the whole fucking world! And I will give it to you! You understand me?"
"Yes," Renee said.
"Terrific. How many pieces of bacon and how many eggs do you want?"
"Just two eggs and two pieces of bacon."
"Comin' right up."
Dean quickly made Renee some eggs and put them on the plate along with the bacon. He set her plate in front of her.
"Thank you," Renee said.
"You're welcome," Dean.
Soon, Lisa and Aaron made their way into the kitchen.
"Good morning," Lisa said.
"Good morning!" Aaron said.
He ran up to his uncle and gave him a big hug.
"Good morning," Dean said.
"Morning, Auntie Renee!" Aaron said. He skipped over to her. "When will my cousin get here?"
"In another five months," Renee said.
"Okay!" Aaron said. "Can I touch your stomach?"
"Of course," Renee said.
Aaron placed his hand on his auntie's stomach. He leaned close to her stomach.
"I'm your cousin. We're going to ride scooters together," he said.
Renee smiled.
"How're you feeling?" Lisa asked. She sat across from Renee.
"I'm alright," Renee said. "Dean, can you make me three pieces of toast with jelly on them?"
"You got it," Dean said.
"Good to hear. I bought you some more snacks," Lisa said. "You like marshmallows?"
"Of course I do! Can you get them? They would go good with my breakfast!" Renee said.
"I want some, too!" Aaron said.
Lisa and Dean both looked at each other before shaking their heads and smiling.
Mid July, one month later:
Renee had went to her doctor's appointment to find out the sex of the baby. Dean was sitting right beside her, holding her hand tightly.
"Dean, you look tense," Renee said.
"I'm not tense. I just wish the doctor would hurry," Dean said.
"Relax. She'll be here soon."
"We'll finally know if our baby is going to be a girl or a boy. You think it's going to be a girl or boy? Boy or a girl? Girl? Boy? Boy? Girl?"
"Dean, take a few deep breathes."
Dean took a deep breath and squeezed Renee's hand. He was relieved when the doctor finally came in.
He applied gel onto Renee's stomach and began the ultrasound.
"There's the head…" the doctor said. He continued to look at the screen to see what the sex of the baby was.
Renee and Dean both stared at the screen as well.
Dean couldn't believe his eyes. He watched as the baby moved.
"Aha!" the doctor said. "I'm glad the baby moved. Because as you can see…your baby is a girl."
"A girl?" Dean repeated.
"Yes," the doctor said.
Dean got up and hugged the doctor. The doctor was amused by Dean's excitement.
"Thank you! Thank you!" he said. "It's a girl!" He joined Renee by her side.
"Your wish came true," she said.
"Congratulations. I hope everything goes well," the doctor said.
"Thank you," Renee said.
The quickly cleaned off the gel from Renee's stomach and congratulated Renee and Dean one more time, gave them a picture of the sonogram then left.
"A baby girl. Yes!" Dean said. "A baby girl." He helped Renee off of the bed and hugged her. Tears were flowing down his face. "A girl…"
Renee rubbed Dean's back.
"Soon you'll be holding your little girl in your arms," she said.
"I will," Dean said. "I will. This is a dream come true."
"It is," Renee said. "Alright, if you keep crying like that and you'll flood this room."
Dean chuckled.
"I can't help it," he said.
"Let's go to the beach for a little while," Renee said.
"Good idea," Dean said.
Dean held onto Renee's hand as they walked along the shore of the beach. The sunset against the water was extravagant. Birds flew in different directions in the purple sky. The sound of the ocean was like music to Dean and Renee's ears.
"I really like it when you wear those long summer dresses," Dean said. "Green looks good on you."
"Thank you. They're very comfortable. I like seeing you in shorts. I like looking at your legs," Renee giggled.
"I know my legs are fantastic," Dean said.
Renee giggled.
"Have you been thinking about names for the baby?" she asked.
"Not as of late. But I will definitely buy a baby name book. Still can't believe I bought diapers the other day," Dean said. "I hope I don't mess up while changing the baby's diaper."
"You won't," Renee said.
"What if she gets mad and pees on me?" Dean said.
"She won't get mad at you," Renee said.
"If she starts to pee, I'll hand her right to you."
"You're very funny. You know that?"
"I know I am. That's why you love me."
"I want some hot wings. That sounds good."
"With some french fries on the side?"
"Yup. With ranch dressing."
"I see what I can do."
"Dean?"
"Yes?"
"You can eat the hot wings with me."
"Nah, I'll get my own wings. You can have some hot wings to yourself."
Renee stopped walking and tugged on Dean's hand.
"I said you can eat the hot wings with me and that's final," she snapped.
"Alright," Dean said. "I will. Just don't tear my arm off.
"I should tear your arm off! You just gonna tell me no and I'm supposed to be okay with it!? Who the hell do you think you are, Dean!?"
"Your fiancé."
"Don't get smart with me!"
"Let's go get those wings and fries, shall we?"
"Don't change the subject!"
"I'm not. You want wings so we are going to get some."
As they walked to the car, Renee kept fussing at Dean. He was smiling the entire time. He could listen to Renee talk for hours and hours on end.
When they got home, Renee was still fussing Dean out. She didn't fuss Lisa and Aaron out when she saw them. Instead she gave them hugs and kisses then resume fussing at Dean.
Dean had bought them some wings and fries for Aaron and Lisa. As soon as he gave it to them, they said goodnight and retreated to their room.
Dean took his and Renee's food into the room.
Renee was right on his heels.
"This is ridiculous! I should hit you!" she said.
When Dean sat the food down on his nightstand, he whipped out a wing and handed it to Renee. She took it and devoured it. Her entire mood changed.
"That's good," she said. "Very good. I love you, Dean."
"Love you more, Renee."
They settled in bed, turned on cartoons, and continued eating their food together.
