A SON FOR A SON

Stunned into complete silence Dean and Arandi stared at the screen showing them the miracle that was their children. Their eyes filled with tears as they each grasped each other's hands in tight grips.

They realized the whooshing was the heartbeats of the children they believed they would never have.

"I don't understand." Arandi barely whispered

"I don't know my dear." Julian smiled. "But you are pregnant about three months along."

Dean gasped and pulled from Arandi standing feeling as if his air had been stolen from his lungs. Three months resounded in his head, she had been pregnant for three months and still been hunting, she had been hit, thrown, squeezed, and he himself had shoved her into a wall. He could have hurt his children.

He stumbled back into a wall.

"Dean breathe!" Julian demanded grabbing his arm.

Dean stared at him wild eyed and then he felt Arandi's touch on his face.

"Dean breathe my love it's alright I'm fine they are fine just look." She said soothingly. She knew him so well.

He dragged air into his empty lungs coughing. "I shoved you Arandi."

"Dean they are fine." Julian assured him. "Hell they have to be tough to be Winchester's."

Dean took a deep breath and pulled Arandi into a hug as the tears slipped from his eyes, he was going to be a dad, the twin boys that he had dreamed of were really going to be his boys.

"I'm pregnant my love I'm really pregnant." Arandi whispered, her own eyes spilling tears of happiness.

Julian quietly stepped from the room to allow them their moment of joy.

Dean asked Julian a million and one questions about the pregnancy and Julian answered what he could, gave him a couple of book titles that he should read and strongly warned him about the impending mood swings.

"Trust me son you will swear you should perform an exorcism at times." Julian remembered the battle of his first wife's pregnancy and felt a chill go through his spine.

Arandi was changing back into her clothes as Dean flitted around the exam room too excited to sit.

"The woman I love is going to marry me and have my children!" Dean squealed lifting Julian off his feet in a bear hug. "Thank you Jules."

Julian laughed at being manhandled. "Hey I just gave you the news you two did the baby making."

Dean set Julian down and he handed Dean the printouts. Dean stared at the pictures in his hand. "My boys." He whispered.

Arandi stepped from the changing room and Dean rushed to her lifting her up in a hug and spinning her around.

"Whoa my love slow your role unless you want my insides on your outside." Arandi giggled.

Dean set her down looking into her face, she was already glowing, all the sadness she had held completely melted away.

Dean smiled sincerely. "I didn't think that it was possible for you to be any more beautiful than you already were but you are and I didn't think I could possibly love you more than I already do but I do."

"Oh so you're holding out on me." Arandi smiled back. "I forgive you because without you I wouldn't have this." She took Dean's hand and set it to her belly and they kissed.

They walked out of the hospital hand in hand.

"So now what?" Dean asked.

"I'm starving." Arandi replied.

"Well we can't have that, what's it gonna be?"

"French toast and fruit." Arandi licked her lips already tasting it.

She could ask for fried octopus with a side of skunk and Dean would find a way to get it for her, though the thought made his stomach flip.

He found a diner not far from the hospital and parked. "We need to call our siblings before they fall apart waiting." Dean sighed already speed dialing his brother as he stepped out of the car, he motioned to Arandi to wait and he jogged around the front of the car opened the door for her and helped her out.

She stared at him and smiled. She wasn't even showing yet and he was already treating her as if she couldn't move on her own.

He leaned back against the car pulling her close. "Hey Sammy just letting you know that everything turned out good nothing deadly she's going to be fine with a lot of love and care, we'll tell you everything when we get back, we're just grabbing something to eat."

Dean listened.

"Yeah I know Sammy thanks." He hung up.

"He said that he prayed like he never prayed before." Dean whispered the incident at the church suddenly vivid in his mind. "Arandi do you think all this is going to come with a price?"

"I don't think God works like that." Arandi murmured.

"After everything that we've seen you still believe in him?" Dean looked into her eyes.

"I guess I do."

"Hmm?" Dean hugged her closer.

"Castiel what have you done?" Gabriel growled.

"It was not me Gabriel." Castiel roared back. "I would not do this to them when I know the cost."

"Then who?"

The two angels stared at one another then looked up into the sky.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dean watched Arandi eat with gusto and he couldn't help but smile, man she was so beautiful when she was happy and she was happy.

"How about just milk on the fourth glass?" He said as she drank down her third glass of chocolate milk.

She pouted slightly nodding as Dean motioned for the waitress, he sighed. "Another chocolate milk please." He caved too easily but Arandi's smile made it worth it.

His appetite was full force so he ate to his fill sighing at how good it felt to be getting everything he thought he could never have. He laughed as Arandi snatched a piece of bacon from his plate and stuffed in her mouth with a grin.

"We'll see how much you love me when I look like a beached whale."

Her words made him stare at her as he remembered the other Arandi that had died pregnant in his arms and he choked.

"Hey, hey!" Arandi jumped up hitting his back.

"Sorry, it went down the wrong pipe." Dean managed.

"Alright let's get out of here before I start picking food off of other people's plates." Arandi laughed.

Dean left the money on the table and pulled Arandi after him, they walked to the car and he pulled her to him kissing her.

"You do realize that right now we are too happy." Dean sighed.

"Yeah I know." Arandi sighed too.

There was that damn axe again waiting to fall.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The drive back to Will's was nothing but animated conversation from Arandi and all her plans for the wedding and the babies' arrival.

The word nursery barely made it past her lips before Dean roared. "No nursery!"

She had forgotten how both Dean and Sam hated nurseries. "Sorry." She replied, looking out the window.

"I didn't mean to yell." Dean groaned.

"It's ok."

Dean felt like shit now he had halted her happy banter and she sat quietly staring out the window. "Arandi I'm sorry." He tried again.

"It's ok, I should have thought about what I was saying." She wouldn't look at him and she stayed quiet.

'Way to go Dean.' He admonished himself. He pulled the car to the side of the road and got out going around to her side and pulling her out into his arms. "Arandi I know that you and I have been together now for a time but this whole marriage and being a parent thing is brand new to me so if I come off sounding like a dick please forgive me."

He felt complete shock when Arandi broke into huge sobs and clung to him.

"You lost your mom in a nursery and I had to go and remind you of that and I can't believe that I wanted our boys in a nursery after you going through that." She hiccupped and hitched out.

"Calm down Arandi you're going to hyperventilate." He tried to sooth her. She nodded and tried to breathe normal.

"Now about the wedding?" He was going to do his best to work her back to happy.

"I want to get married before I start to show." She blurted out.

Dean looked at her his heart racing. "That means we have to get married in the next couple of weeks."

Arandi lowered her eyes as she nodded.

Dean smiled as he lifted her chin to look at him. "Can you pull it off?"

She smiled. "Is that a challenge?"

"Baby it's anything you want it to be as long as you are Mrs. Dean Winchester by the end of it."

Arandi laughed and hugged him hard.

Dean sighed happily; he had her back as she began to banter happily again as they got back on the road and he thought about what he had said just automatically assuming that Arandi would take his name.

"You know if you want to keep the Remington in your name I'm ok with that." He said.

Arandi looked at him. "I thought about that because we are the last of the Remington's but I think it's best to just end it, it was supposed to be Johnny that continued the family name." She said sadly. "Anyway can you imagine our children learning to write Remington-Winchester, they would have carpal tunnel before they were five."

Dean laughed. "You have a point."

"So you're stuck with me being Mrs. Winchester."

"Damn the luck, well your luck anyway." Dean laughed.

"Smart ass."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dean pulled in front of Will and Grace's not surprised to find everyone outside waiting.

Dean and Arandi exchanged glances and then stepped out of the car.

Sam and Jade in front of them in the next moment.

"We've been waiting long enough, now spill!" Jade exclaimed.

Arandi wrapped her arms around Dean's waist. "Not much to tell Aunt Jade."

"Not much at all Uncle Sam." Dean added putting his arm over Arandi's shoulder.

"What do…" It took a second for the thought process to hit both Sam and Jade.

"Aunt and uncle…." They both sputtered and then they got it.

"Oh my God you're pregnant!" Jade squealed. She threw her arms around her sister then Dean squealing the entire time. Sam stood in dumbfounded shock staring at the printouts that Dean handed him.

Dean was beaming so happy that Sam was afraid to say a word afraid that he would wake up but it was real. He didn't care if Dean got mad he pulled him into a huge bear hug and lifted him off his feet. He was filled with happiness to hear Dean's sincere laughter, a sound that Sam hadn't heard in so long he had given up on ever hearing it again.

The printouts made the round ending with Bobby. He stared wide eyed at the pictures trying hard not to get misty eyed. He lost the battle when Arandi hugged him.

"So what do you think Gramps?"

Dean's arms joined hers and Bobby was speechless.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bobby had not really known where he was going to settle but hearing Dean and Arandi and Sam and Jade insist that he belonged with them in Texas, that there was an extra guest house where he could live and start his super supernatural collection of books and materials again, well how could he say no to that?

Bobby was about to become a Texan just like the Winchester's.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Arandi told Jade about the wedding plans and she was thrilled, knowing that they had to pull it off in a couple of weeks made it amazing.

Colt and Cody called Sophie and Cheyenne swearing that if anyone could pull off the perfect wedding in days it was their lovely wives.

Dean and Sam stared wide eyed as Arandi and Jade talked on speaker phone to the other women giving off detail after detail of what they wanted and what they would e-mail to them.

Jade noticing Sam's bemused look, smiled. "Honey I had my wedding dress picked out when I was two."

"Alright so South Padre Island seven days from today." Arandi stated.

"Whoa, whoa darling as anxious as I am for you to be Mrs. Winchester, make that two weeks from today." Dean interrupted.

Arandi frowned. "Why?"

Dean put his arm around her shoulders trying to keep her from getting upset. "Look Arandi I talked to Julian and Shane and they both agree even though you're not that far into this pregnancy that's it's better that you don't sit in a car for longer than four hours a day. So we are going to take it slow and easy and I'm renting a more comfortable car and letting Bobby drive the Impala."

Silence filled the room and Dean looked around. "What?" He was bombarded with holy water and calls of Christo.

"What the hell?" Dean scrambled.

"You're giving up the Impala?" Cody said. "Of course we have to make sure that you're not possessed."

"I'm not giving her up, I'm just taking care of my babies and my baby understands." Dean sighed as he rubbed on Arandi's tummy.

She looked at him and sighed. "Two weeks it is then."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dean had gotten into reading on line he never noticed when Arandi wandered off outside. When he did notice panic set in and he hustled to find her. He sighed in relief spotting her sitting on a picnic table staring up at the sky.

He smiled remembering a time when he thought about her having his child and now here she was having two. He walked towards her and settled on the bench in front of her between her legs. She smiled at him as he lifted her shirt and settled his cheek on her belly with a content sigh.

She ran her fingers through his hair and they didn't need to talk.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Everyone was leaving in two days so they started on everything that needed to be done. Dean making sure that the Impala was in perfect running condition even though he wouldn't be driving her.

Arandi's patience with the love her life was wearing thin because if anyone thought he was over protective before now he was impossible.

She couldn't flinch without him panicking, she had to eat even when she didn't feel like eating, and he watched everything she did. She could only imagine how bad it was going to get when she really started to show and patience was not one of her virtues.

At dinner she wasn't feeling all that grand and she dared not peep a word to him or he'd have her at the hospital for hours even with Julian and Shane telling him everything was fine.

He had read entire books about pregnancy in hours and he asked a million questions and followed both Emily and Grace around wanting to know what to expect what he should do? He got countless warnings about mood swings and that he would want to perform an exorcism on his beloved at some points during the pregnancy.

While Arandi was absolutely thrilled that her man wanted to be a part of every stage of their miracle and so damn attentive it made her dizzy she still needed room to breathe.

She couldn't eat very much nausea rolling through her and she pushed her plate away. Why they called it morning sickness she had no idea because it hit her at all hours of the day.

"You need to eat more than that." She heard next to her.

"That's all I can handle." She said as sweetly as she could although she wanted to tell him to shove it.

"Just a few more bites." He pulled the plate back.

"Dean I can't." She growled starting to stand.

"You need to think about the boys…" He started and she blew.

"I don't want to eat if I eat one more bite I'm going to spew like a geyser. I know when to eat believe or not and it's my fucking body so fuck off!"

The hurt look that passed over Dean's face made her hate herself. No one said a word.

She walked away because she couldn't make him understand unless she put her foot down.

Dean sat quietly not daring to look at anyone. Mood swings huh he thought. Why couldn't anyone get how much he loved her and how terrified he was that everything he had right now would be taken from him?

He got up from the table and headed outside and everyone got uncomfortable when they heard the Impala start up and leave.

Arandi began to cry like an idiot as soon as she heard the roar of the Impala. Bitch mode may have cost her the man she loved.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dean drove not really knowing where he was going until he found himself in front of the church, he had been afraid to go back afraid that the divine would take back what had been given to him.

He needed to see this now with a clear head.

He hoped that the doors would be locked but they swung open easily as he walked in his senses were filled the over powering smell of roses and he looked around to see if there were any around him.

He saw nothing and stood staring to the front of the church, the blue light still glowing even though it got no power from anywhere, well nowhere normal anyway.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when the door opened behind him.

"Sam what the hell are you doing here?" Dean breathed.

"Arandi kind of got upset because you left and wouldn't settle down until I promised to look for you." Sam sighed. "You know this is all part of the pregnancy right?"

"I know Sam but it's hard to not worry about things when every time you think finally and then it's all taken away."

"You don't have to explain a thing to me."

"Is she alright?"

Sam didn't answer fast enough for Dean.

"Sam?"

"She fainted."

"I shouldn't have left." Dean suddenly felt dizzy, turned for the door but stopped when he heard his name being called and it wasn't Sam. "Did you hear that?" Dean whispered.

Sam only nodded staring to the front of the church. "It came from over there."

Dean stared waiting to see any movement and nothing but the glow of the light and now he couldn't leave until he went up there. He moved forward slowly Sam right behind him.

Dean stared up at the crucifix his heart pounding. "Thank you." He said simply. The blue light brightened and the sudden sound of angel wings filled the church.

"Get back to Arandi now!" Gabriel yelled touching both Dean and Sam's foreheads.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Arandi paced the room fretting her stomach rumbling with worry. Jade had tried to make her stay in bed and now she had a lot of apologizing to do to her to sister too.

Mood swings were a whole lot like possession.

She strained to hear the Impala but nothing but night sounds came to her, everyone in the house murmuring.

She headed to the door to go wait outside and as she reached the door a complete sense of evil filled her.

She turned and could see herself in a full length mirror and she spun to look behind her and nothing was there but in the mirror an evil handsome face stared at her.

"You killed my son, now I'm killing yours." The face spoke and laughed sinisterly.

"No!" Arandi screamed, the mirror shook and somehow impossibly Dean was kicking down the door and throwing himself around her as the mirror exploded and shards of glass flew towards them.

Sam yelled and tried to run into the room excruciating pain filled his head and he fell to his knees grabbing his head, evil laughter filled his mind and he saw the world the way it looked after the croatan virus and he fell gasping.

Bobby and the others ran guns drawn as Jade screamed in panic seeing Sam on the floor blood gushing from his nose. Dean and Arandi lay motionless in a pool of blood.

"No!" Jade screamed her world spinning she crashed to the floor.

"What the hell is happening?" Colt yelled.

No one had time to answer as all the glass in the house suddenly imploded. Eerie silence filled the house.

No one moved motionless bodies littered the house blood marring the floor and walls.

The man in the mirror laughed his reflection in every piece of glass and he laughed and laughed.
