Roman had never seen Dean so nervous before. He was even biting his nails again, a habit his mom got him to quit.
"Do you want to have a kid?", Roman asked.
"I have no choice now. Its coming either way", he replied.
"Don't call your baby an it, Brie won't like that", Roman reminded.
Dean sighed.
"Did you want kids before?", he asked.
"No. I didn't even want to ever get married or settle down. That life style isn't made for guys like us. Look at what happened to AJ and Karl. You and…", Dean stopped when he saw the look on Roman's face.
"Its okay, and maybe you are right, but maybe you aren't. These women have probably seen way worse than we have. Done way worse. They were made and meant for guys like us", Roman said.
Dean sighed.
"Everything is happening so fast", Dean said.
"What did you tell Brie when you told her?", Roman asked.
Dean swallowed.
"You didn't. Dean…", Roman said.
"I know. I just freaked, I'm allowed too", Dean said.
"What I can suggest is you don't talk to her till you know what you want. Just be honest with her, because take it from me, you don't want to screw this up.", Roman said.
Dean nodded.
"Also, if you asked me, I think you would make a great dad", Roman smiled.
Veronica waited for her sister to reply.
"Its Dean", Brie whispered.
Veronica nodded. She had a feeling it would be. He and Brie had gotten close since meeting.
"You told him?", she asked.
Brie nodded.
"Reacted the way I thought he would, but I've made up my mind. Whether he wants to be in this baby's life or not, I'm keeping my baby.", Brie said.
"Mel is going to kill him, and if not Mel, dad", Ronnie said.
"That's what I'm worried about", Brie replied.
Brie took her sister's hand.
"But anyway, today is about you. Let's go check out those ideas", Brie said, making Veronica groan.
Brie laughed.
Ethan dropped the photos on Charlotte's desk. She looked at each one and rolled her eyes.
"At the end it kind of looked like they ended their conversation badly. He seemed freaked out", Ethan let her know.
"Maybe she told him she loved him", she smirked.
Dean always hated that when she said it. Brushed it off or acted like he didn't hear her.
"No, it didn't seem like that was it", he said.
"I don't fucking care what they were talking about. I just want to see him in pain, pain so excruciating that he would want to kill himself", Charlotte growled.
Ethan nodded.
"Do you want me to send him a copy?", he asked.
She nodded.
"Let him know who they are from", she smirked.
Maybe she could hurt Brie too. Kill two birds with one stone.
"How was wedding planning?", Roman asked, removing his shirt.
"Hard, but Nikki did say we have a cake tasting tomorrow.", she smiled.
He chuckled.
"That I can do", he nodded.
"So", she started, making him smirk.
"Dean will talk to her when he figures out what he wants. This is a lot on him.", he said.
"What if I told you I was pregnant?", she asked.
His smile fell and he swallowed. Eyes wide.
"Wow, and here I thought you wanted to have a family with me", she said, he stopped her.
"I do, but not now. Right now its about us, and besides that, I don't think either of us is ready for kids.", he said.
She nodded.
"Agreed", she replied.
"Dean will step up. Even if my dad has to force him.", Roman chuckled.
"He doesn't have to marry her, thats not what she wants. She just wants to know if he is going to be apart of the baby's life", Veronica said.
Roman nodded.
"You should have seen your face", she suddenly started laughing.
Roman joined her.
"Well, you scared me, but I will admit it would have been a good scare. I would love you and our child unconditionally", he said, setting his hand where she was shot.
She could feel his finger drawing circles on her wound.
"I love you", she said softly.
He smiled and leaned over, kissing her softly.
Brie was about to go to sleep when she got a text from Dean to come outside. They were staying at Roman's house. He was leaning against his car when she got outside.
"So, firstly, I'm sorry for taking off the way that I did. I freaked, you know", he shrugged.
She nodded. He pushed himself off his car and stepped towards her.
"Second, I want to be apart of this baby's life. Fair warning, I don't know what I'm doing and I can't promise I'm going to be the best dad ever, but when you need me, I will be there", he said.
She smiled.
"I don't know what I'm doing either, Dean. We can learn as we go, together", she said.
He nodded.
"So, what do we do now?", he asked, pushing his hands into his pockets.
"Well, first I need to tell my sisters and dad. Then make a doctor's appointment to see how our baby is", she said.
"And I'm going to be there, for both. I will take responsibility with your dad and sisters.", he said.
"Great", she nodded.
He stepped closer.
"I know we aren't dating, and you don't look pregnant, so don't let any other man touch you. I will not be okay with you screwing men while pregnant with my kid", he said.
She huffed and crossed her arms over her chest.
"But it's okay for you to screw anything with two legs?", she asked.
"I'm not screwing anyone else. Only you.", he replied back.
She was taken back by that.
"You haven't been with anyone else since, us?", she asked.
He cleared his throat.
"No", he mumbled.
She nodded.
"Okay", she replied.
After leaving Brie, he went back to the club. Seth nodded towards his desk.
"You got a envelope", he said.
Dean nodded and reached for it. No name except his in big black letters. He opened it and pulled out photos of him and Brie.
Would be a shame if something happened to her. An eye for an eye, Dean. Love Charlotte
"Bitch", he said, making Seth stand and join him by his desk.
He looked over the photos.
"Brie can take her", Seth chuckled, letting the photos drop on Dean's check.
"No Seth, she can't.", Dean said.
Seth gave him a look. Dean sighed.
"She's pregnant with my kid, man", he said.
