The next day Dean received a text letting him know that Lauren was in labor. He had decided not to be there for the birth since there was no guarantee the baby was even his. Kristen's head was still spinning from the night before. She was upset at Dean for not being fully upfront about the situation and now more than ever she was convinced the baby was his, she just wasn't sure what that meant for their marriage.

Kristen was sitting backstage at Smackdown waiting for Dean. They were going to head over to the hospital after the show for Dean to be able to give his DNA sample. She was picking at her nails, something she usually did when she was extremely nervous – which was true in this case. This was the longest wait she had ever experienced. She didn't feel like going with him but he insisted and she was sure he would start begging if she didn't give in.

Kristen closed her eyes. She tried to imagine herself with a baby; a baby that wasn't hers. She was still hurt that Dean hadn't been fully honest about the extend of his relationship with Lauren, she felt like a fool. She also felt responsible for this situation, if she hadn't left Dean in the first place he wouldn't have had to gone with Lauren and second if she hadn't slept with him in Cincinnati the day of the wedding both their lives would be so much less complicated. Lonely for her, but not complicated.

Dean walked over he leaned down and kissed her forehead sitting down next to her. "What are you doing?"

Kristen looked at him and smiled a little "Just lost in my thoughts. You ready to get going?"

He looked over to her "Not really, I kind of feel like an asshole. There is no part of me that hopes that baby is mine" he said looking down a bit "and if he is then I am going to feel like shit. I never wanted to bring a kid into this world to an unstable family, that's what I had and I swore my kids would never go through that"

She took his hand in hers "I've been thinking...If he is yours, and you want to give him a family, I would understand." she bit her lip lightly

He looked at her "what do you mean?" he said

"I mean I have always heard you say that you wanted your kids to have a family and you couldn't wait for them to have all the experiences we both missed out on...and I don't want to be in the way of that. If he's yours I will walk away."

He stared at her "You don't understand do you? I have never been able to look at anyone the way I look at you, and not because I haven't wanted to, trust me when you left I wanted to move on more than anything but I couldn't. When it comes to love it's you or nobody else."

Kristen looked at him. She didn't deserve for him to love her as much as he did but here they were.

"You walking away would be the worst thing that could happen to me, again." he said shaking his head. He was never the one to open up that way but the thought of her leaving him terrified him. He stood up taking her hand "now let's go get this over with."

They both walked to the car quietly. The drive to the hospital wasn't a very long one but it felt long because neither one was talking very much; the nerves were beginning to show.

When they got to the hospital Dean immediately went to give his DNA sample while Kristen waited outside in the waiting room. It was going to be an almost instant result. They just sat and waited until they went and collected some of the baby's samples.

Kristen sat there next to Dean trying to remain calm. She could feel her hands starting to sweat but she wanted to be there for him whatever the outcome was. She looked around at the people that were walking in with flowers and balloons with happy looks on their faces going to meet the new additions to their families. She looked over at Dean who was staring up at the TV that was playing the news, she knew he wasn't really paying attention to what was going on but was probably lost in thoughts.

He felt her eyes on him; he looked over at her and smiled a little. He reached over and held her hand as they waited, both too nervous to say much. He looked over at her again "Thanks for coming with me."

She laughed a little "Of course" she looked over and gave him a warm smile she could see how nervous he was and she wished that she knew what she needed to say to make him feel better.

Dean rubbed his eyes with his hands "this wait is intense" he looked at the time "fuck it's only been like 10 minutes" he said laughing

Kristen laughed a bit and moved in her seat to be facing him putting an arm on his shoulder and playing with the messy hair in the back of his head.

"I love you" he said causing the first genuine smile of the night from her.

They both looked up at the nurse that was walking towards them with a piece of paper. Kristen held her breath for a second trying to remind herself to be at peace with whatever the result was.

The nurse looked at them "Ok, so we ran the test –it's a very basic test so if you want to go do blood or something you can go to a lab and they can do that but our test is very accurate. There is a small room for error but 99.9% accurate"

They both stared at the nurse neither really interested in the explanation of the test.

The nurse handed them an envelope and walked away. Dean looked at the envelope in his hand and looked over to Kristen "I can't open it. You do it" he handed it over to her and rubbed his hands against his jeans.

Kristen took it and slowly pulled the folded up paper from inside. She read the paper carefully and looked over at Dean who was staring at her the entire time.

"He's not yours" she said softly with a smile. She felt a wave of relief. As much as she had been telling herself she had to be at peace with the results she knew deep down that she would have been extremely disappointed if the baby was his. Even though, it was her fault that they were in this situation in the first place, she was happy to not have to deal with those consequences.

He leaned back on his seat and rubbed his face with his hands "Now I understand why those guys in the Maury show do a touchdown dance when they get the results" he laughed and looked over at Kristen

Kristen laughed too. She felt so relieved she had been mentally focused on the baby being his to not be disappointed that it was almost weird now having that gone from their lives.

"Let's get out of here" Dean said standing up and pulling her up by her hand. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and walked out with her. He kissed her cheek while they walked. He was glad they could finally put this behind them. As much as they had tried for their relationship not suffer because of it there was still a big elephant in the room at all times.

Kristen giggled at the kiss. He had never been one to show much affection in public so she was enjoying the change which was sure due mainly to the relief he was feeling. She too felt so relieved that she wouldn't have to worry about not loving the baby or having to quit her job. She still hadn't told Dean about the UK opportunity and now she wasn't about to ruin his good mood with it.

They walked to the car together and Dean began to drive home. Kristen reached over and took his hand. "I have to say this is not the outcome I expected but I'm not complaining." she smiled

He laughed a bit "trust me, me neither. I thought I had for sure royally fucked things up for us" He pulled her hand up and kissed the back of it.

Kristen looked at him and smiled. They headed home that night feeling relieved. It felt that since they had gotten back together there was always a problem somewhere. Now they would be able to just focus on each other and make up for the lost time before having a family of their own.
