It had been a few weeks and the romance between you and Nick continued to grow and get stronger. You were packing to go on a trip with Nick to Pike Greek Delaware. Nick said there was something he needed to do there and he felt he needed you there for support. You weren't sure what it was but you were gonna make sure you were there by his side the whole time. "Ready?" Nick asked.
"Yep," you said kissing his cheek. Soon you two were on a plane to Delaware. The whole flight Nick held your hand softly running his thumb over your knuckles. He looked lost in thought. You knew going to the town he used to live in was painful for him. You couldn't imagine the pain of losing the person you loved and your child in such a gruesome way. When you landed you two made sure to get your luggage and headed for the motel you would be staying in. You checked in and when you got in the room Nick took your hands in his.
"I hope it's not weird for you," he said, "but I came here to visit Sarah's grave,".
"That doesn't bother me, Nick," you said, "I know you still love her and I'm ok with that. She was your wife. Someone you truly loved. I wouldn't want you to forget that,". He pulled you into a soft hug.
"I love you Y/N," he said
"I love you too Nick," you said looking up at him, "with all my heart,". He leaned down and placed a soft kiss to your lips. Soon you two were off to the cemetery were Sarah and Teddy were laid to rest. You guys just stood there looking at the tombstone with Sarah's name on it for a while. You nudged Nick. "Go talk to her," you said. He kissed the top of your head and walked over to it. He kneeled down and softly swiped some leaves from the top of the marble structure.
"Hi Sarah," he started, "I miss you and our little man so much. I think about you both every day. I blamed myself for a long time for your deaths. I use to feel like had I been home that night instead of at some stupid bar getting drunk out of my mind I could have saved you. But it turns out no matter where I was this was always gonna happen. I am still so sorry,". Nick stopped so he could fight back the tears he felt building up. You walked over and sat beside him.
"Hi Sarah," you said hugging his arm in a supportive way, "I'm Y/N and I want you to know you would be so proud of Nick. Yes, he's been through hard times, but he's fought through it and despite everything is such an amazing man. I love him so much, but I would never expect to replace you. I fully accept he'll always love you. I promise you, Sarah. I'll take care of him and be there for him," you looked at him smiled, "and make sure he knows every day how amazing he is and how thankful I am to be with him,". There were tears streaming down his cheeks as he smiled at you and then looked back at Sarah's tombstone.
"She's just as amazing as you are Sarah," he said, "if you had anything to do with sending her my way at all thank you,". You both sat there for a while. You laid your head on his shoulder and he kissed the top of your head. Nick never noticed when his wife's spirit appeared beside him.
"She's meant for you," Sarah whispered before kissing his cheek and vanishing. Nick touched his cheek as he felt a brief, soft touch. After you two left the cemetery Nick treated you to lunch at a local diner. You enjoyed stuffed hashbrowns and an iced tea.
"I wanna ask you something Y/N," he said, "I've wanted to ask for a while,".
"Ok shoot?" you said. Nick fished a small white box from his pocket and gently grabbed your hand.
"I love you Y/N," he said, "I haven't felt this way about anyone since Sarah, and I don't want to waste any time with you,". He opened the box to reveal a beautiful ring, "this was Sarah's. If you want your own I'll get it but Y/N Winchester," he kissed your hand softly, "will you marry me?". You're eyes filled with tears.
"Yes Nick," you said, "I'll marry you,". Nick smiled wide and slid the ring on your finger.
"Like I said if you don't want to wear this one I'll get you your own," he said. You smiled and leaned over giving him a soft kiss.
"It's perfect," you said cupping his face in your hands, "just like you,". You two spent the rest of your time in Delaware celebrating your engagement. Your first morning back in the bunker you were sitting in the bathroom. You were kind of panicking. Would Nick be ok with it? Would he accept it? Would this cost you your amazing fiancee? Would your brothers be mad? All these thoughts clouded your mind for the whole two minutes you waited. Then you stood up and walked over to the sink. You took a deep breath as you picked up the little white stick.
