It was the second day of the month of November, and the sun was beginning to fade. Mary wandered into the living room and found her eldest child watching the television alone. The eleven year old was minding his own business when he was joined by his mother. John was busy in the kitchen helping Sam construct a space ship diorama for a school project, and getting covered in glue and various other arts and crafts materials. The parents had decided to tell their children the news of the pregnancy, John was going to tell Sam and Mary was going to tell Dean.
"What are you watching, sweetheart?" asked Mary, gazing at her eleven year old as she wrapped an arm around his shoulder.
The youngster shrugged in response to his mother, his eyes fixed on the television screen as he watched the animated cartoon, Beetlejuice.
"Nothing special," replied Dean, before glancing at his mother with a slight frown. "You okay, Mom? You look a little pale."
Regardless to his growing moodiness due puberty approaching, the eleven year old still cared for his mother greatly. Mary smiled down at him. It was obvious she couldn't hide her morning sickness and fatigued nature from him, he was getting wiser with age.
"Mom's just been feeling a little under the weather these days, but it's a good reason to feel sick," answered Mary, her free hand tucked a strand of her long blonde hair behind her left ear. She smiled at her son's confused expression. "Dean, sweetheart, the reason Mom is sick is because I'm going to have a baby."
Dean blinked in disbelief and shock. So that was the reason why his Father was so protective over his Mother nowadays and why they were both so happy, as if it was Christmas everyday.
"Well, what do you think?" asked a grinning Mary. "Are you happy?"
The eleven year old was in a daze, he was going to be a brother, again. He glanced up at Mary.
"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" he questioned curiously, still in shock from the surprise news.
"It's too soon, sweetheart, I'm only a three months along," replied Mary, her free hand resting on her stomach. "So, this little one will be here around May. Still, as long as this baby is healthy, he or she will be the best addition this family has ever had."
A loud gasp suddenly came from the kitchen and the sound of frantic steps came rushing into the living room. It was Sam. The excited seven year old was almost bouncing across the room.
"I'm gonna be a big brother!" he yelled, waving his arms. "I'm not gonna be the baby of the family anymore! Awesome!"
