Chapter 5

Jo had woken up, feeling groggy and in serious pain that seemed to be coming from everywhere. She could still taste blood in her mouth as her bust lip continued to ooze. She had also woken up to a sudden gush between her legs. Quickly she had realized the gush had been her waters breaking. The baby was coming anytime now if she couldn't stop it.

The hunter stood impatiently next to her bed, waiting. He had tied her wrists to the frame of the bed behind her whilst she had been unconcious.

"Why are you doing this?" she cried as she tried, in vain, to stay calm.

"I told you, I need that baby."

"Why?" she asked angrily.

"That child will either be pure good or pure evil. Depends what gets their hands on it first, good or evil. I don't know how clear the line is on that but I know that if I don't get that baby, my wife dies." he said. "Come to think of it, me too."

"What are you talking about?" Jo asked as she tried breathing through another contraction.

"My wife had to sell her soul, to save my life. Her times up next week, unless, I can offer your baby's blood in exchange."

"No!" she yelled at him. "I won't let you hurt my baby." she said right before the pain began again.

"You won't have a choice." he said, holding the knife on her throat. "The demons coming after it won't stop until either good or bad touches it. If good does then they'll back off...for a while at least. Until the baby poses a real threat. If bad touches it then you've got problems Jo, as does the rest of the world. No one will be able to stop it."

"You're not having my baby." she told him matter-of-factly.

"And like I said, you don't have a choice." he told her again as he held the knife down on her flesh. "Now hurry it up or I'll cut that thing out of you." he threatened.

"Over my dead body!" she yelled at him.

"That can be arranged." he said, pressing the knife down a little harder.

By the time Sam and Dean got to Jo's room, Sam's strength was fully back and he was ready for whatever lay ahead of them. He tried the door handle but it wasn't budging. It was locked. They both looked at each other.

"JO!" Sam shouted, "If you hurt them I'll kill you, I swear to God." he shouted to the hunter.

Dean stepped back, pulling Sam with him and after the count of three they kicked the door. It flew off its hinges and landed on the floor with a crash. They ran into the room and saw the guy standing there with the knife at Jo's throat.

"Stay back!" he warned them.

They both wanted to lunge at him but they knew they couldn't risk Jo's safety like that. Reluctantly, Dean lowered his gun. "Look, come on man, look at her. Just leave her alone, yeah? You're supposed to be helping us protect her and the baby, remember?" he said, trying desperately to reason with him.

"He touches her an I'll blow his head off, Dean." Sam said angrily.

"You shoot me and I slip and I cut her throat right open. You two wouldn't even make it over here before it was curtains closed for her and the baby." he said.

"Why are you doing this?" Sam asked him.

"I need that baby. I don't want to hurt Jo, but I will if I have to."

"I'm begging you not to hurt her or the baby." Dean said, trying to hide the sheer anger he was feling.

"I'm sorry Dean, this is the way it has to be." he said before he got the knife ready at Jo's throat again.

"No!" Jo cried as she tried to move away from him, only to have him grab a handful of her hair to keep her still.

Both Dean and Sam were about to run over to him when something burst through one of the boarded up windows. It landed right on top of the hunter, sending him crashing to the floor. They could all see what it was, and the hunters cries proved it. A werewolf.

None of them had time to do anything before the werewolf practically tore the hunters throat away. Jo knew the thing had come for the baby, so immediatly began trying to pull herself free. The beast looked up when it heard her efforts. There was blood all over it face, Jo just gasped as it bared it's razor sharp teeth to her before howling. A sound that was ear piercingly painful.

"Hey, Lassie!" Dean shouted. Grabbing the beasts attention before both he and Sam fired their guns at it.

It went flying back into the wall and slid down it, leaving a trail of it's blood behind before landing on the floor in a crumpled pile - dead.

They both ran over to Jo, who was in tears. "Where's my mom. The baby's coming now." she informed them.

"I'll go get her." Dean said.

Sam was nervous about staying alone with her but he wasn't about to leave her alone again. He picked the hunters knife up off the floor and cut the ropes around Jo's wrist. Straight away her hands shot to her tummy. She held it, wanting her baby to feel safe.

He could see the rope burns around her wirst and could see them oozing where her skin was cut and torn. He used the knife to cut his shirt, making two long strips. He used the strips to make bandages around her wrists. Gently tying them on top of her wrists. She smiled at him, thankful for the gesture, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't stop crying. She was on edge and just waiting for the next demon to come in and try hurting her and the baby. "Sam, I'm so scared." she cried.

Sam shuffled next to her on the bed and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. He used his sleeve to gently wipe the blood away from her lip before placing his hand on her tummy. He wanted both her and his child to feel safe. "I'm here Jo." he said as he held her close. He was amazed when he felt his child kick beneath his hand. In his mind he was thinking 'I'm here for you too.'

Jo tucked her hand under his and tangled her fingers up in among his before resting it back on her tummy and preparing herself for the inevitable birth of their baby. She just prayed that no more demons would attack, and if they did that someone else beside the hunters would be there to protect them. She had no idea just how much her prayers were about to be answered.
