Dean felt everything inside of him stop when the computer screen went dark. He heard a baby crying for just one second before even that stopped.

His video call ended and a small pop up appeared telling him that the connection had been lost.

Dean felt his hand shaking as he curled into it into a fist. Before he could even think of controlling himself he grabbed his glass and threw it against the wall. Grabbing a book and doing the same. Again and again he threw whatever he could reach before everything just drained out of him and he fell to his knees.

This wasn't how it was supposed to be. This isn't how things were supposed to turn out. Mom was supposed to be in a hospital giving birth to a normal baby that they were going to spoil the crap out of. It was going to be baby Winchester that the three of them were going to raise with Cas and Jack and there would be one Winchester that wouldn't have to worry about the world ending or any powers or anything even remotely close to what Sam and he had gone through.

But no, they couldn't have that. They were the Winchesters and as such they were screwed over and lucked out in every single way that there was. The baby had been damned the moment it was conceived simply due to being a Winchester.

He could hear Michael saying something, trying to get his attention again and as he gritted his teeth Dean took a hold of the anger inside of him and used that to shove Michael as hard as he could, shoving him back down deep into the depths of his mind. Shoving until he couldn't hear Michael anymore and his mind was clearer than it had been in a long time.

Dean took a deep breath and slowly stood up, wavering slightly as he tried to steady himself as best as he could. Ignoring the mess he crossed over to the laptop once more, tapping the mouse to try to establish the connection with Jacks laptop.

There was no answer and after a moment the program told him that the person was no longer online and was unable to take his calls.

Meaning that something had happened to the laptop and they weren't able to use it anymore.

Dean snatched his phone up and immediately dialed for his brother, heart thundering hard in his chest, not really sure what he was going to hear or what he wanted to hear.

He cursed under his breath when the call went straight to voicemail, then calling Jack and Cas, fighting the urge to throw his phone when the same happened to their phones.

Dean brought his hand up to cover his mouth, forcing himself to breathe in and out through his nose to try to stay calm and not panicked. He breathed in deeply and let it out before he picked his phone up and tried to call Sam again.

There was still no answer and Dean fought the urge to throw up.

If the baby was born maybe that meant that whatever used to be Michael's grace was completely belonging to the baby now so it could be safe from being taken from it. Maybe now he would be able to be near the baby without that fear that Michael would get all his power back again.

Was he willing to take that risk to go and find out? It was a giant gamble that they weren't sure about and it was taking everything he had not to go to the garage right then and there to get the impala and on the road to the cabin.

Dean jumped slightly when his phone suddenly vibrated and then rang. He spared one glance to see who was calling him, an unknown number, and he answered briskly, "Hello?"

"Dean, it's me."

"Sam." Dean breathed out, closing his eyes tightly and swallowing hard. "What happened?"

"A surge of power knocked everything electrical for miles. Towns are in blackout right now and our phones were burned out." his brother said, his voice sounding fuzzy and far away. The call broke for a moment as he spoke. "The baby's here, its a girl Dean."

A girl. Baby girl Winchester. Dean took a few deep measured breaths, trying not to lose it right then and there. He could hear Sam saying something but it took him a moment to register what was being said. "What?"

"I said moms still alive."

I do not own Supernatural.
