Never thought things would change
Hold me tight

Kat looked around the cheap motel and smiled a little. It reminded her of the motels on set that the prop and set team would come up with. She rested her head against the head board of the bed and closed her eyes. She had been here a day and she still couldn't decide what her next stop was going to be. She ignored all calls from Jensen and Jared wishing they would just leave her alone and realize that she wasn't going back there. She couldn't; it wasn't where she wanted to be anymore. She placed her hand on her stomach and tried to think about her baby. Maybe that would calm her down and give her an idea where she wanted to go. It had to be a good place to raise her child. She rubbed her stomach and wondered if she was carrying a little girl or boy.

"I wonder what I should name you. In almost four more months, you'll be here so I should pick out a name for you," she said softly looking at the ceiling telling herself not to cry.

The tears came though and she couldn't stop them. All she could think about was Dean and how she wanted him here with her. She wanted him beside her arguing about names saying there was no way they were going their son Prescott or some preppy ass name like that while she told him that they weren't naming him Van Morrison either. She wiped away her tears and climbed out of the bed. She walked over to her bags fully intent on pulling out her laptop and looking up baby names.

"Hello, Katerina," she heard a male voice say from behind her.

She whirled around and saw a man with kind blue eyes. He was tall and blond with a beautiful smile on his face. She looked around but he seemed to be alone. She knew she should be terrified but she wasn't. She felt calm and at peace which was weird.

"Who are you?" she asked backing up even though something inside of her said he wasn't a threat to her.

"Gabriel. I am an angel of the Lord. I believe you have heard of me," he said smiling at her.

"You're an arch angel."

"Yes, I am. And... Katerina, you don't belong here."

Kat felt more tears fall. She suddenly knew this angel was here to kill her. She was a witch which meant she was a freak, evil. She couldn't be allowed to live. She placed her hands on her stomach trying to shield her child from harm.

"Please, don't kill me. I'm pregnant and I want my baby to have a chance to live. Please, let my baby live," she begged.

"Katerina, I am not here to kill you. I am here to bring you to Sam. That is if you want to go," Gabriel said walking over to her and taking her hands in his.

"But... Why? Dean is dead; nothing is going to change that."

"I know but this baby... Your child could benefit from having at least one Winchester in its life, don't you think?"

"Why would you do this? Why would one angel care about my baby?"

Gabriel smiled at her. He would never tell her that he was really the Trickster and that he knew of the plans and end game the angels had set up. He knew about it and had decided to screw with it a little. None of his brothers had planned on Dean falling in love let alone him fathering a child. They all knew about Kat but didn't think of her as a problem because after all, she was in a different world then the one that Sam and Dean were. The angels had written her off as a non threat and non concern. Gabriel was about to mess with that plan. And for once, his plans weren't going to do the Winchesters any harm, instead it would make their lives better. He deserved a freakin medal.

"My father has plans for Sam and... I think that it would be better if he had you beside him to help him. I think right now, you are the only two people who truly understand how the other one is feeling. You could help each other heal and this baby," Gabriel placed his hand on Kat's stomach, "is just what Sam needs. It's a part of Dean that is still alive for the two of you."

"You'll really bring me to Sam?"

"Yes, I will. We can leave whenever you want."

Kat pulled away from him. She grabbed her bags and looked at him. She didn't know why but she believed every word he had said. She wanted to be with Sam instead of here. At least with Sam she wouldn't be alone and she would have someone to help teach her child about Dean. She knew she should call her friends, especially Jared and Jensen to say goodbye but she didn't want to. She feared they would try and convince her to stay here. She wiped her tears away.

"Let's go," she told Gabriel.

Sam felt someone shaking him. He shoved them away but they kept shaking him. He opened his eyes and his vision was blurry but he could make out that the person shaking him was a woman. He wondered since when did Bobby invite women back to his place. He blinked a couple more times to clear his vision. Her brown hair came into view followed by the black tank top she wore. Then finally he looked up at her eyes and saw grey eyes staring into his. It hit him. He was staring right at a twin for Kat.

"Sam, are you awake and sober?" she asked softly. God, she even sounded like Kat.

"Who are you?" Sam asked telling himself this couldn't be Kat. She was back in her own world hopefully living happily ever after with Jensen. Sam didn't want her to feel the pain he was feeling right at the moment.

"Geez, you're gone for four months and already you forgot all about me. Makes me feel real special inside, Sam."

"Kat? But... You can't be here."

"I can be here Sam and I am. I... I kind of need your help."

"With what?"

Kat took the bottle from Sam's hand and placed his hand on her stomach. She looked up into his blue eyes and saw them widen when he felt the baby move inside of her. She welcomed his hug when he pulled her in his arms. She let tears fall then. She felt at home in Sam's arms and knew this is where she belonged.

"It's Dean's," he said pulling away and smiled at her.

"Yeah, it is. You're going to be an uncle, Sam and... I needed to be here because... I felt so alone at home. There's this hole in my heart... Anyway, I knew that my baby was going to need you around too," she said trying not to cry again.

"He's gone, Kat. I couldn't... I couldn't save him."

"Shh, Sam, I know but its okay. You tried and that's all that matters."

"But it wasn't enough!"

Sam broke down again. He felt Kat's arms come around him as she sat on the couch beside him. He laid down his head resting it in her lap and wrapped an arm around her legs as he cried against her stomach. He felt her hand run threw his hair as she comforted him. He took her comfort and just sobbed. The guilt he had felt inside was even worse now. Dean had died and now his child would never even meet him. All Dean would be was a story that Kat and him told to the child and it was all Sam's fault. Dean had made the deal for him and he couldn't even save his brother. Sam didn't deserve to be alive but Dean did.

"Sam, stop it. Shh, I know what you're doing and I won't allow it," Kat said softly feeling tears rolling down her cheeks as she held Sam.

"I killed him, Katerina. I killed him. He made the deal for me, I killed him," Sam said pulling away from her and looking at her.

"Samuel Winchester, you listen to me, Dean made the deal yes, but it was his own choice. It isn't your fault that he... That he's dead. This baby needs you, I need you. I lost Dean don't... Don't make me and your niece or nephew lose you too."

Sam let Kat wipe away his tears. He nodded and pulled her in his arms. He felt her rest her head on his chest. She hooked an arm around his waist and held him as well. He pulled them so they were resting against the back of the couch. He turned and saw her bags against the wall and didn't even want to know how she got there. All that mattered was that she was there and he suddenly had a purpose again. He needed to help Kat raise this baby. He held her and watched as she fell asleep in his arms. He placed his hand on her stomach and thought about his niece or nephew in there; Dean's son or daughter. He felt tears coming to his eyes. He had two purposes, one to help Kat though this and secondly... Try to get Dean back. If he couldn't he would help Kat raise this baby but first... He needed to see if there wasn't some way he could get his brother back and out of Hell. Dean deserved to be here to see his child grow up.

"Sam, mind telling me who the girl is?" Bobby asked standing in the doorway.

"Ahh... Remember I told you about Katerina McCrae?" Sam asked stroking Kat's hair.

"Yeah, you told me she was Dean's girl."

"Well... This is her. Somehow, she got over here. I think she might have used her powers but I'm not sure."

"Does... Does she know that Dean..." Bobby trialed off, he was still getting use to the feeling of not having Dean around himself.

"Yeah, she does. Said that was why she was here that... She needed my help with... With the baby."

"Baby? You mean-."

"Yeah. There's a part of Dean that's going to live on after all."

"Sam, you better not go and do something stupid. This girl needs you. You are all she has here."

"I know, Bobby and I am going to keep her safe and help her. In every way I can."

Bobby nodded and watched as Sam held Kat protectively. He hoped that Kat could help Sam because Bobby knew that inside Sam wasn't taking losing Dean well. Sam could try to hide his feelings but Bobby had known Sam since he was small, he knew how to read the boy's thoughts and emotions. He hoped that by having Kat here, that it would stop Sam from running around and doing some stupid things. It also wouldn't hurt to have them around for a while. Especially if Kat was going to have a baby. Bobby loved children. Alright, he loved them as long as they were someone else's. He smiled at Sam and walked into the kitchen. Maybe they would all be okay after all.
