Lily woke the next morning on her back. Dean was right beside her, lying on his side. He had one arm curled under his head. His other hand was resting on Lily's stomach. She gently kissed his lips before placing her hand on his, lightly rubbing with her thumb. The motion woke Dean, and he turned his hand, taking Lily's hand in his and lacing their fingers together. She turned to look at him and smiled. Dean sat up slightly, leaning on his elbow, and began kissing Lily's neck.

Lily closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of Dean's lips. It felt like several months had passed since they had made love, and she wanted so badly to share that intimacy with him now. Dean felt the same way, but in his mind, he still wanted to make sure Lily was okay physically. He reluctantly pulled away and got out of bed.

"Where are you going?" Lily sat up, pulling the sheet up against the chill after losing the warmth of Dean's body.

"Getting away from temptation."

"Are we still waiting?"

"Until you get a doctor's okay, yeah, we're waiting."

Lily couldn't help but grin. Dean Winchester, choosing to wait. "When did you develop will power?"

"When I found out I love the woman I'm making love to more than I like the act of making love."

"You know, if you were still in this bed after saying that, we wouldn't be waiting anymore."

"I know," Dean said with a grin. "Come on, get dressed. We'll get Sam and go get breakfast."

They were back from breakfast for a while when Lily got a phone call. Dean saw a wide smile spread across her face as she disconnected the call.

"What's up?"

"That was the doctor's office. They had a cancellation, and I can go in today."

"Want me to go with you?"

"If you want to, you can, but you can't come in for the exam."

Dean made a face, "Maybe I'll stay here. Not sure I'd wanna see that even if I could."

Lily was back a few hours later. She walked into the cabin to find Dean on the couch, watching television.

"Where's Sam?"

"Went for food."

Lily sat her purse on the breakfast bar and walked over to the couch, sitting next to Dean. She gave him a quick kiss, and he put his arm around her shoulders.

"So, how'd the visit go?"

Lily smiled and handed Dean a piece of paper. He unfolded it, a confused look on his face that turned into a smile as he read.

"You got your doctor to write me a note that says you're 'cleared for sexual activity?'"

"Doctor's approval. We will have to be extra careful for a couple of months. If I were to get pregnant again we would definitely lose the baby, and it wouldn't be good for me."

Dean nodded as he folded the paper. He put it on the coffee table, then took Lily's face in his hands. He smiled at her before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her fingers though his hair. He began to lay her down when they heard the rumble of the Impala. Dean let out a groan before sitting up.

"Sam's back," he said.

"That's okay. I didn't really imagine our first time together again on the couch, anyway."

Lily walked over to grab her purse just as Sam walked in. He smiled at Lily when he saw she was back.

"Hey, how'd the doctor's visit go? Everything okay?"

"Doctor says I'm doing well."

"Good." He placed the take-out bags on the counter in the kitchen. Lily picked up her purse then joined Sam in the kitchen to get her food. Dean was distracted by something on the television, so Sam took the opportunity to talk to Lily. "So, physically you're good... How are you doing otherwise?"

"I'm coping. It's been rough, but I'm managing. You guys have been great. Dean has been... beyond wonderful. I don't think I would have made it those first few days if he hadn't been there to take care of me."

"Yeah, he's good at taking care of other people. He has trouble letting people take care of him."

"I know." Lily looked back at Dean to find him still watching tv. "I told him that last night."

"Is that why I heard yelling?"

"Yeah, but he actually opened up to me about losing the baby. I think it did us both a lot of good. Especially your brother."

Sam seemed a little surprised. "I know how hard it is to get him to share anything personal. I'm glad you were able to."

"Me too."

Lily called for Dean to turn off the tv and come eat. They all ate quietly until Sam finally broke the silence.

"I hate to be the one to bring this up. Between Bobby and the baby, we've all had a lot to deal with, but we need to think about getting back on the leviathan trail."

"You're right," Dean said. "I've been thinking about it. That's actually what I was watching on tv... Some news program did a piece on Dick Roman."

"Anything new?"

"Nothing we don't already know."

"Well," Lily said, "I've been cleared for activity by my doctor..." She shot a smile toward Dean, and saw the grin on his face before he bit into his burger. "We can hit the road whenever you guys are ready."

Sam opened his mouth to speak, but Dean beat him to it. "Hang on," he said with a mouthful of food, "no rush."

Sam made a face at his brother's lack of table etiquette, but continued his thought, "Yeah, we have time before we get back on the road. We need more information."

They continued discussing Roman and what they knew about the leviathan. After they ate, Sam pulled out his laptop, and he and Dean started to look up more information. Lily cleaned up the kitchen, then announced that she was going to take a bath. That got Dean's attention. He watched as she walked to her bedroom.

"You know what, Sammy," Dean said standing up, "I'm gonna go make sure she's okay... you know, make sure she has everything she needs."

"Yeah, sure," Sam said with a knowing look. "You do that."

Lily had gotten her towels and began filling the tub. She was just about to pin up her hair and remove her clothes when she heard Dean's voice behind her.

"Still don't lock your bathroom door with two men in the house?"

"Well," she said, "I know Sam won't bust in on me. Especially if I've announced I'm taking a bath." She watched as he slowly walked to the tub and turned the water off. "And I was kinda hoping you would come in," she continued.

"That's what I thought," he said as he made his way toward her. "The bath can wait."

He pulled her to him and kissed her deeply. Lily moaned. He had been holding back lately with his kisses, knowing they couldn't go any further. This kiss held nothing back, and sent shivers down to her toes.

With one arm around her waist, and one hand beneath her rear, he lifted her from the floor and she wrapped her legs around him. He carried her into the bedroom and gently laid her on the bed. She kept her legs wrapped around him, keeping him close to her as his lips moved to her neck. His name came out in a moan when she felt his tongue on her skin. Her fingers moved through the hair at the nape of his neck as his hand began to wander up her side to her breast. He gently squeezed through her clothes, causing another moan to escape her lips.

Dean smiled against her skin as he continued to kiss her neck. He loved knowing he had this effect on her. It had been too long since he heard her cry out his name in passion, and he intended to make her do it again. He ran his hands down her legs and unwrapped them from his waist so he could sit up, then he pulled her into his lap.

Lily's hands were on Dean's face as they kissed, and Dean went to work on Lily's clothes. He slowly began to pull her shirt up, but Lily didn't want to break their kiss. Dean pulled away.

"Arms up, sweetheart."

She did as he asked, and as soon as the shirt was off, her hands were back on his face, pulling him into another kiss. She blindly reached for the hem of his shirt and slipped her hands beneath it, feeling the hardness of his torso. Dean broke their kiss once more to remove his own shirt, wanting to feel more of her skin against his. He barely had it off and Lily was moving to lay Dean back, so he let her. She straddled his hips, leaning over to kiss his neck. Dean's hands undid the hook on her bra and she helped him pull it from her arms without removing her lips from him. His hands were on her before the bra hit the ground, and she pushed into him, enjoying the feel of his hands in places they hadn't been since the last time they made love.

Lily sat up and began undoing his jeans, slipping her hand inside. Dean took in a sharp breath and grabbed her hand, flipping her over, pressing her wrists into the bed.

Lily smiled up at him. "It's so sexy when you take control like that."

A wicked grin flashed across Dean's face. He leaned down and lightly brushed his lips over Lily's. When she tried to deepen the kiss, Dean pulled away. He repeated this several times, still holding her wrists to the bed. She fought against his grip, trying to free her hands, but was once again reminded of just how strong he really was.

"Dean, please..."

Dean smiled and made his way down her neck, moving lower still to her breasts. He made expert use of his tongue. Lily's back arched, and a shiver went through her entire body. Her breathing was rapid and heavy.

"I never thought I'd miss someone's mouth so much," she said.

Dean was back at her lips, his hands still on her wrists. "That was just a little one," he said. He finally freed her and ran his hands down her sides. "Let's see about getting another one."

Lily watched as he kissed down between her breasts, down to her stomach. She watched as he stopped and ran his hand over her, letting his eyes linger there before placing a soft, but firm kiss on her stomach. His eyes then connected with hers as he unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them from her legs, along with her panties. He stood and removed his jeans and boxers, then crawled over her, slowly. She ran her hands along his body until his lips met hers again in a feverish kiss. He gently lifted Lily's legs, one by one, placing them around his hips. With one more kiss, he stared into her eyes and entered her so slowly that it was almost torture for both of them. When their bodies were completely joined together, Dean stopped and ran a hand through Lily's hair.

"You okay?"

"More than okay."

Lily leaned up to capture Dean's lips and he began to move slowly. After a few minutes, Dean felt Lily's body tremble. A few minutes more, and he felt her begin to tighten around him. Her eyes were closed, a look of ecstasy on her face. He stopped long enough to put his arms beneath her so that his hands came up onto her shoulders from behind. She put her arms around him to give him room. He used this leverage to pick up his pace as he kissed her neck. She cried out his name over and over as he moved harder and faster, until both of their bodies were trembling.

Dean rolled to his side and pulled Lily into his arms. They lie there for a while, unmoving, except for their heaving chests, fighting for breath.

"Maybe we should wait more often," Lily said when she could finally speak. "If that's what I get after the waiting is done, it's totally worth it."

"I can give you that every night. No waiting required."

"Oh, I know you can, Tiger."

"Glad to hear that."
