Chapter 38
Two days went by and things seemed less tense between Hailey and Dean. He mostly spent his time working on the mustang but he had taking the time to join her and Sam in watching some TV and had teased her about how many times they had to stop the movie so she could go pee.
Hailey woke up late that morning to rustling noises and swearing from downstairs. Hailey grabbed her angel blade from her nightstand and made her way downstairs, making sure she stopped before she could be seen.
Hurry up Bobby, I can't hold it much longer! She heard Dean.
I'm doin' my best dammit! Just hold still will yeah? She heard Bobby bark back and Sam started laughing.
Hailey turned the corner and her eyes widened as she took in the oversized Christmas tree in the corner of the living room. Bobby was laying under the huge tree, trying to adjust the stand as Dean tried to make it stand straight.
How's that? Bobby called from under the tree.
How the hell should I know... Dean said,his face in the branches.
A little to the left. Sam directed as he backed up to look at the tree and Dean twisted the tree to the right, making it even more crooked.
The other left Dean.
There's just one friggin' left Sam! Dean barked back and twisted the tree to the left.
How about now? Dean asked annoyed.
Looks good.
'bout time... Bobby mumbled and slowly crawled out from under and Dean let go of the tree, backing up.
The three hunters stood away from the tree, inspecting their work. The Tree wasn't very straight, leaning a bit to the left.
Well, it will have to do... Bobby said.
Great now I'm all sappy... Dean said as he looked down at his sticky hands.
What's all this? Hailey giggled, finally making her presence heard.
The three hunters turned around.
Surprise! Sam said with a smile.
Dean lifted an eyebrow to Hailey and she remembered she was only wearing Sam's shirt and still holding the blade up.
I heard noises and thought... you know. Hailey explained putting the blade on the coffee table.
Merry Christmas sweetheart, what do you think? Bobby asked about the tree and quickly pulled her into a hug.
It's... big. Hailey said with a smile.
That's what she said. Dean said loud enough for Sam to hear and he rolled his eyes at the goofy smile Dean had.
Why don't you two knuckle heads go downstairs and grab the boxes written xmas on them... I got a turkey to prep. Bobby said before heading in the kitchen and Hailey followed him.
A turkey? Dad, do you even know how to cook one of those? Hailey asked as she poured herself a tall glass of orange juice and bobby pulled out the thawed bird out of the sink and into a roasting pan.
How hard can it be? Bobby answered and Hailey stared at him.
Alright, I asked Ellen... She said to remove the neck but it didn't have one.
Hailey walked up to the bird and shoved her arm into it and pulled out the neck.
Usually it's up his ass... Hailey said and pulled it out. The smell of raw flesh hit her and gagged.
Oh god... Hailey mumbled before dropped the neck into the sink and ran out of the kitchen, holding a hand to her mouth as Bobby laughed.
She ran into the bathroom and didn't care someone was using the shower and started vomiting into the toilet bowl. She heard the shower curtain pull away.
Jesus, you okay? Dean asked getting out and quickly wrapping a towel around his waist before leaning next her, rubbing her back.
I'm fine... just the turkey neck... and smell of it- Hailey vomited again, just talking about it made her sick.
Dean left her side and came back, dabbing a cool washcloth in the back of her neck. Hailey took deep breaths and Dean wiped off the sweat from her face.
Thanks. Hailey said as she stood up and flushed the toilet.
Better? He asked her.
Yeah, just remind me not to go in the kitchen today. Hailey laughed a bit and Dean smiled.
Hailey noticed Dean was dripping wet and wearing only a towel. She could see all his muscles, tight abs and big chest. He seemed buffer then she remembered him when they were together. She thought he was one fine piece of-
Like what you see? Dean smirked noticing her checking him out and Hailey blushed.
No! I mean I wasn't... I'll let you finish your shower. Hailey said before practically running out of the bathroom. She heard Dean Chuckle as she made her way into her bedroom to get dressed.
Get a grip Hailey... She mumbled to herself as she pulled out a low cut silk red top and a pair of maternity jeans. She quickly did her makeup and brushed her hair, letting her hair down in waves. Once she heard Dean go back downstairs she quickly went back to the bathroom and brushed her teeth.
The brothers and Hailey spent the day decorating the tree as they exchanged funny memories of past Christmas's. Bobby had brought cups of eggnog adding whisky in the ones for the men. Dean took a sip and made a face, grabbing the bottle and adding more booze into his cup tasting it another time and nodded in appreciation to which Hailey and Sam rolled their eyes. Bobby went back into the kitchen and Sam followed to help him with the fest. Dean sat down on the arm of the couch and watched as Hailey continued hanging little knick knacks on the tree. He smiled as he took in her little frame and his eyes settled to her rounder backside, he couldn't help but appreciate. Hailey bent over a bit and let out a sigh. Dean rushed to her side.
What's wrong? He asked concerned.
Nothing... I'm fine-
Here maybe you should sit a bit. He said as he brought her to the couch.
Ouff... Hailey said leaning against the back of the couch.
Dammit Hailey, what's wrong? Dean said as he kneeled in front of her, his worry was quickly changing into panic.
Hailey smiled and grabbed his hand, placing it on her belly. Dean's eyes looked confused but soon they grew wide in surprise.
The baby's just kicking a lot... Hailey explained.
Woah! Is that, is that normal? Dean asked as he felt an impressive kick against his hand and then a wave of movement.
Yeah... totally normal. Hailey smiled.
Dean placed a second hand on her belly and soon enough he felt another kick. He looked amazed as he moved his hands the baby would respond and a smile grew on his lips.
Hey there, you... It's dad... Dean said to the belly and gently rubbed it.
How about you give mom a little break huh? She's been taking good care you... You're going to have the best mom ever, you know that? Dean said softly as he continued to rub the bump and the movements stopped.
Dean looked up to Hailey, who was looking down at Him intensely, with tears in her eyes. She reached down to him and placed a hand on his stubble jaw and smiled warmly at him. Dean took her hand and kissed her palm. They shared a look but before Dean could do anything else...
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Yelled Jo as she opened the door, followed by Ellen who was holding bags.
Dean seemed annoyed and got to his feet made his way to Ellen and took her bags.
Jo!? Hailey asked stunned, getting out of the couch.
Hailey! Jo screamed and ran into Hailey arms.
Oh my god Bobby wasn't kidding! You really are preggers! Jo said as she touched Hailey's belly and Hailey laughed.
Well congratulations to both of you. Ellen said as she hugged Dean and quickly made her way to Hailey.
Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? Jo asked excitedly.
Uhm... no actually I don't.
It's gotta be a girl! Aunty Jo will show her how to make men drool.
Please! It's going to be a boy, uncle Sam will teach him a thing or two about how the get the ladies. Sam said coming in the living and hugged Jo and Ellen.
Poor kid. Dean mumbled and Hailey giggled, which made Dean smile; god he loved that sound.
Sammy, grab your coat, I need your help with something.
Yeah, sure. Sam answered Dean and both left into the kitchen.
Imma check on Bobby make sure he doesn't burn anything... Ellen said and squeezed Hailey's arm as she past her.
Jo took Hailey by the hand and both girls sat on the couch.
So you and Dean back together again?
Oh god. Jo please... Can we not get into this today? Hailey begged her friend.
Imma gonna take that as a no... Bobby told mom an angel was taking care of you?
Yeah, Castiel... He's been really good to me.
Good to you, huh? Jo said wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
Jo! God can you stop a second... My love life is... completely non-existent. I kinda have other priorities right now...
How's the pregnant life?
Jo and Hailey talked for hours about what Hailey went through since they last seen each other and finished decorating the tree. Soon enough everyone was around the table and they laughed as they ate the rather good tasting turkey and trimmings they all had. After supper they all sat and watched National Lampoon's Christmas vacation and all of them laughed and had a good time. Then they exchanged a few gifts and talked some more. Hailey yawned as she felt tired.
Hey, come with me I wanna show you something. Dean whispered to Hailey's ear.
She got up and Dean grabbed her coat for her and helped her into it. He took her hand and they went through the kitchen and outside. Hailey smiled as she saw the mustang looking as good as knew.
Wow! Dean... She's beautiful! Hailey said as she went around the car and noticed something on the back seat.
Is that-
A car seat. Yeah. Sammy helped install it. Couldn't figure that damn thing out. I tuned the car completely she's running smoothly.
Hailey continued to check her car and noticed a sticker in the back window.
Lil' Rocker on board? She read out loud and raised an eyebrow at Dean who laughed.
What!? My kid is going to know good music. He explained and Hailey laughed.
Here, start her up. Dean said and threw the keys at her, which she caught expertly.
Dean opened the car door for her and Hailey sat down and placed the key in the ignition. The car purred to life and Hailey made it growl by pressing the gas paddle. A smile grew on her lips at the sound of the engine.
Merry Christmas, shortcake. Dean said with a warm smile.
Hailey turned off the car and Dean helped her out and closed the door behind her. She wrapped her coat tighter around herself.
Thank you Dean... for everything. She said and kissed his cheek but didn't move away. Dean pulled her in his arms into a hug. He took in her sent he loved so much, closing his eyes and enjoying her in his arms. After a moment she pulled away and both of them just stared at one another. Dean placed a strand of hair in back of ear and Hailey's eyes left his and stared at his lips. She leaned in and her eyes went back up to Dean's surprised ones and stopped.
I should... Hailey started saying.
Right, you look tired, you should get some sleep. Dean said letting go of her.
Hailey reached out and kiss his cheek again.
Merry Christmas, Dean. She told him before turning around and back into the house.
Dean leaned on the mustang and took a moment to replay the day in his head before going back into the house with a small smile on his lips.
