Chapter 12-

*Averys POV*

My flight lands in Penescola, Florida. I gather my bags and get in the taxi that I already had arranged to pick me up. I tell the taxi driver where to go and within 10 minutes, I have arrived at Romans house.

I suddenly feel really nervous about seeing my friends and Dean. I don't even know what to classify Dean as. I sigh and ring the doorbell. Within a few seconds, Roman opens the door and lets me in.

"Welcome to my home." Roman says with a smile. "Follow me." He adds as he starts walking.

I get lead into the living room and see Skylar who looks sort of pissed. Then I turn my head and see Dean. I start to feel really shaky. I go and sit down on the couch by Dean. Roman sits down by Skylar on the smaller couch.

I sigh. "I know, I know, I have a lot of explainig to do." I say.

"Yeah, you do! Why did you not keep in touch with me? I am your best fucking friend. You know you can tell me anything. But no, you don't talk to me for a few days shy of a month. Who the hell does that?" Skylar says out of nowhere. Wow, I wasn't really expecting that out of her.

I sigh. "I am really sorry, Skylar. I had some shit that I needed to deal with. I should have kept in touch with you, I am really sorry." I say.

"Were you even filming for Doctor Who? Or was that just a lie?" Skylar asks.

"I was on set and about to do the filming, but then I got sick right before the filming began. That's when I realized that I might be pregnant. Turns out, I am. So I dropped my roll and walked out. I already knew in the back of my mind that I had made a bad choice by taking the roll. I knew it wasn't right of me to drop all of you with that news and walk away. I knew I made a bad choice by leaving you guys. I was just being selfish. I am really sorry." I say.

Skylar stands up and walks up to me. I stand up and then she wraps me in a hug. "Apology accepted. I can't stay mad at my best friend." She says. I smile and sit back down next to Dean. I turn towards him.

"Dean, we need to talk…" I say as I become even more nervous.

"Yeah, we do." Dean says.

"Can we talk alone?" I ask in more of a whisper than anything.

Dean nods as he stands up and grabs my hand to help me up. Not like I needed the help though. I am only one month pregnant.

We walk outside and to the beach that is like ridiculously close to Romans house. We sit down on a bench. I turn towards him again.

"Okay, look, I know I fucked up. I messed with your heart. I practically played you. I know I made some really bad choices." I start to say, but stop. I take a deep breath and continue talking. "You were right, I am SHIELDing my heart. But I can't help it. I am not used to relationships. As I said before, I am just afraid of being treated like Skylar did in the past. I saw how torn and broken she was. All her tears, cuts, and bruises. I saw it all. And since then, I am terrified that it will some day happen to me. I know that I am very independent and like to be or do things on my own. I just need to face my fears." I say as I realize that I am crying. Damn horemones are already messing with me.

Dean stands up, then helps me up. He embraces me in a hug. "Apology accepted. But no more SHIELDing your heart. No more being afraid. No more running from your fears. You have me, Skylar, and Roman. We are your family. We are here for you. Especially me. I am used to being independent and all that too, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to be with you. I am facing my fears by trying to get with you. I am not uses to commitment or anything like that. I am used to commiting my dick into some chick. But I don't want to do that anymore. I want something that is going to last. You really do mean a lot to me, Avery. I was about to fly out to England just to see you. I am tired of not having you with me. I would never hit you or abuse you in any way shape, or form. I would never do that to any girl. Avery, you really do mean a lot to me and I don't want to lose you." He says.

"I love you too, Dean." I say as I stand up on my tippy toes and kiss him.

He looks down and smiles at me. "So now what?" Dean asks.

"I am not sure. But are we exclusive now? Or how does this work?" I ask.

Dean smiles. "We are exclusive." He says as he kisses me.

"Good. Now about this baby that's inside of me..." I say. "We are keeping it. I want this devil spawn as weird as that sounds. I refuse to get an abortion. And if you don't want the baby, then I will leave."

Dean looks at me, shocked. "Well that escalated quickly." Dean says. "But I want the baby. It scares me to be a father. But we can do this. Together."

I smile. "Yes, together." I say as I take his hand into mine. "I am kind of scared about this pregnancy shit. I always said that I didn't want kids. They are seriously devil spawns."

"I am scared too. I never grew up with a father figure, so I am scared of fucking up. But I am sure everything will be okay. You will be a wonderful mom to our baby." Dean says as he has me stand infront of him and presses my back side against him. He rests his hand on my stomach. "We are going to have a baby…and we are going to be the best parents that we can be."

I place my hand over his. "Yes we are." I say. "But I feel like we did everything backwards. I got pregnant with your child, now we're dating, then who knows what is next to come."

Dean kisses behind my neck, sending shivers down my back. "Maybe getting a house for us both. But who knows, we will just have to take things one day at a time. I don't want to rush anything, and I know you don't want to either. Let's just go with the flow." He says. "But come on, let's go back to our friends. I am sure they are wondering where we are."

I giggle. "They're probably having sex for all we know." I say.

"Wouldn't surprise me." Dean laughs as he takes my hand into his and we walk back to Romans house...

Note: Awh, they're exclusive now!
