Dean and I's argument was well forgotten and we were now busy with getting the house ready for our 4th of July party. All of our friends and family were going to be there. John had come the night before to set up his grill for hot dogs and burgers while I made a few sides to go with it, including pie just for Dean. The 4th was crazy, everyone started showing up around 2. I was getting the pie out of the oven to cool off when Sam and Jess came into the kitchen caring bags of chips and other snacks. "Hey Cas, where do you want these?" Sam asked "just set them on the counter. I'll get bowls out later." I replied giving a quick hug to Sam and kiss on the cheek to Jess. "Please, make yourselves at home Bobby, Ellen, Jo, and Garth are outside already with John and Dean." I called out to them.
Ash showed up with Charlie and her new girlfriend, Gilda and Gabe showed up 20 minutes later. "Cas, your house is gorgeous!" Gilda gushed, I smiled "thank you Gilda, would you like a quick tour?" "That would be lovely!" She smiled; after the tour we went out to the backyard to see that Dean, Sam, Garth, Gabriel, and Ash had started a football game. "Come on Cas! Come play!" Dean yelled. "No. No thank you, you know how my athletic skills are." I hollered back. "Yeah, but you got speed Cassie, I could use that on my team!" Gabriel yelled, "you already know my answer, sorry!" I yelled chuckling when Dean snuck up behind Sam and tackled him. "Hey! It's supposed to be touch football jerk!" Sam yelled, "It was a touch bitch!" Dean got up and ran away before Sam could hit him.
"That right there is another reason I wont play." I laughed. John and Bobby had started up the grill around 5 so Charlie and I started bringing the other food outside. Everyone started leaving when it started getting dark so they could get good seats at the park for the fireworks. "Uh, Dean the park is the other way…" I commented when I noticed he was going the wrong direction. "Thank you captain obvious, but I have a better place for fireworks." He said as he drove to our spot in the field where we first said I love you. And Dean was right; the view was much, much better from up here. We could see them crystal clear as we laid on the hood of the Impala wrapped in each others arms, even though we ended up making love in the back seat missing most of the fireworks. We got home around midnight and I went straight to the bathroom to get ready for bed.
I brushed my teeth, put my contacts away and picked up my birth control pills. That's when it hit me. I wasn't in heat and I should be, I started panicking and I had to sit on the edge of the tub to keep from collapsing on the floor. I couldn't be right? I mean I was on birth control and it was my first time having sex while I was in heat. But yet again we didn't use a condom. "Shit shit shit shit!" I whispered to myself. I can't be pregnant. Not now. Not before the wedding. Oh god we aren't ready what will Dean say. I calmed myself down took my pill quickly and walked into the bedroom. "Jeez, Cas you were in there forever." Dean joked. "Dean." "I thought I was gonna have to send in the search and rescue team." He continued to joke. "Dean." I said a little louder but he continued to ignore me. "Cas? I'm just joking… Why are you standing there acting like I killed your puppy?" Dean asked becoming nervous and when I didn't answer he sat up "Babe, answer me, you're starting to freak me out." "I-I missed my heat." I stumbled out.
