FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA
A month and a half had past since Sam, Dean, and Ella's Christmas in Wyoming, and not much had happened during that time. They worked a couple of simple cases, mostly while Ella sat around in the motel. She had gotten huge; her due date was only weeks away. Dean hadn't heard from Oshea since she disappeared the morning after their little drunken eggnog fiasco, so he figured she was gone for good this time.
All Right Now by Fire And Water played quietly over the stereo as they crossed over the state line. "So, tell me about this case again?" Dean asked, glancing over at Sam from the steering wheel.
Sam yawned a little. "Uh... well, there's been a sudden spike in cases of...," He yawned again. The couple had not been sleeping well now that the due date was drawing closer. The baby was becoming more active, kicking and moving around, and when Ella could not sleep, Sam couldn't sleep. He shook his head. "Sorry... um, there's been a few unexplained disappearances in this town…"
"Uh, guys?" Ella said quietly from the backseat.
Sam turned and looked back at her. "What's up, Ells? You okay?"
"Yeah, aside from the fact my water just broke."
Dean quickly stomped on the brakes. "What?"
"Yeah, either that or your car decided that I wanted to go swimming," Ella said.
"Whoa whoa! No, not in my car!" Dean said, looking back at her, his eyes wide. He looked over at Sam. "What the hell, I thought she wasn't due for another two weeks!"
Sam had gone a little pale. "I... I- she... she wasn't... isn't!... But I mean... babies can be premature it happens, Dean..." He swallowed hard. "Uh... we should probably keep driving... we need to find a hospital."
"You think?" Ella shouted as she arched a brow.
Dean glanced back at her again. "Why did it have to be in my car!" He complained and started driving again.
"Oh God, Dean... what if she starts to have the baby in here...?" Sam said, looking at his brother with wide eyes. "We didn't even take that Lamaze class, I have no idea what to do!"
"You think I know?" Dean argued back with wide eyes.
"Will you two stop acting like little girls and drive me to the damn hospital!" Ella yelled, causing the two of them to go quiet.
