Bianca and Sam had been trying to plan their wedding for a good two months now. Kyla had found out that she was a good three months pregnant, and was just now starting to show. The Winchesters had a lot to deal with right now, and only one of them was ecstatic--Sam.
"Bianca really wants something small, but really elegant." Sam said.
Dean just nodded. "Yeah."
"We were thinking blue and green would be our colors." Sam continued.
"Right." Dean replied absent-mindedly.
"Hey...are you okay?" Sam asked.
Dean shrugged. "I don't know. Kyla's going to the doctor's today, and I don't think I can go with her. If I see the image or hear the heartbeat, it'll be more real, Sammy. I don't think I can do this."
Sam sighed. "So what? You're going to just leave? Walk away from responsibility?"
"I don't know." Dean told him. "I don't know what to do, Sammy. I thought I could get used to it, but I don't know if I can. Then again, I don't think I can just leave her."
Sam sighed. "Dean, you have to decide. She needs you to either be 100% on board, or you have to let her go now. She has family she can go back to."
Dean nodded. "I'll figure it out, Sammy. So what am I going to be doing?"
"You'll be the Best Man." Sam replied. "Bianca and I want it to just be you, Ky, me and her. She and Kyla are dress shopping right now. We want to get this done very soon--Ky's stomach starting to grow and all."
"Yeah. So...when?" Dean asked.
"Three days." Sam replied.

Kyla sat on the hospital bed and flipped through the Beatrix Potter Book that was in the exam room. She was by herself because Bianca was busy with the flower arrangements at the shop down the street, and Sam was getting his tux fitted. Dean was supposed to show up after he got his tux fitted, but Kyla sighed--she really didn't think he would.
"Miss Pruit?" The nurse asked.
Kyla looked up. "That's me."
The nurse smiled and sat down next to me. "There are just a few routine questions before we begin."
"Of course." Kyla said.
"Have you ahd any pain or abnormal bleeding?" She asked.
Kyla shook her head.
"No. It's been smooth sailing except for the morning
sickness."
The nurse smiled. "Well it's good there's no
pain or abnormal bleeding. So, let's get started."
Kyla nodded and lifted her shirt up so her stomach was visible. She tried not to feel hurt that Dean wasn't here, but she was definitely not going to let it ruin this moment.
"This is going to be cold." The nurse told her, and put the gel on her stomach, running the ultrasound tool around a bit. "We'll just try for a heartbeat first."
Kyla nodded, and her pain all went away when she heard the 'thump-thump' of a tiny little heart. She looked at the screen, and then she smiled even more.
"It looks rather healthy." The nurse said.
Kyla got a little teary-eyed. "That's good."
"You're a good 13 weeks along judging by the length of the fetus." The nurse continued. "And its vitals are perfect."
Kyla laughed a little with joy. "Wow. It's just so...tiny."
The nurse nodded. "Yeah, but it's starting to develop all of the necessary outer appendages."
Kyla smiled. "Can I have two copies of this ultrasound?"
The nurse nodded. "Absolutely."
The nurse let Kyla hold the device to her stomach so she could listen for a little bit longer, and then wiped the gel off of Kyla's stomach and handed her the ultrasounds in an envelope. Kyla thanked her and then she left the clinic, going back to the motel room and sighing.
"Find the tuxes you wanted?" Kyla asked Sam and Dean as they ate.
Sam nodded, and Dean was about to say something when Bianca came in happily, and Kyla went into the bedroom and started packing. Bianca started to gush about how she'd found the perfect flowers, and Kyla pulled out one of the ultrasounds and set it on Dean's bed, after writing him a note. When she emerged from the room, it was just Bianca.
"What's with the stuff?" Bianca asked.
"I'm leaving." Kyla said softly.
Bianca sighed. "You sure?"
"I'm pretty positive after today." Kyla replied. "They go to get something?"
Bianca nodded. "The tux place called, so they're going to get them."
"I'll be back for the wedding--but don't tell Dean that, okay? I don't want him to know." Kyla said.
Biance nodded and hugged her. "I wish things were better for you, Ky."
"I do too, B. I do too." Kyla said.

When Sam and Dean came back from the tux shop, Bianca sat at the table in the motel room and she didn't look very happy.
"What's wrong, B?" Sam asked.
"Ask Dean." Bianca replied, and stood up, going over to the couch and turning on the television.
"What is she talking about?" Dean asked.
Bianca pointed to the room, and Dean went in first, to find that it was just the three of them. He found the note and the ultrasound on the bed and he sat down, looking at it, not reading the note--just staring at the ultrasound.
"Did she leave?" Sam asked softly.
Dean nodded. "Yeah."
"What does the note say?" Sam asked.
"I screwed everything up with her, Sam." Dean told him, not answering his question. "I'm such an idiot."
Dean got up and went into the main room, Bianca looking up at him.
"She didn't tell me where she was going. Just said she had to leave." Bianca told him.
"Damn-it!" Dean cried. "Damn-it!"
"Does the note say anything?" Sam asked.
Dean opened the note. All it said was:
I love
you, Dean.
No matter what.
Through everything.
I had to
leave though.
Neither of us is ready for this responsibility.
I
wish you the best.
"Are you joking? She's wishing me the best? Is she getting rid of it? This doesn't tell me anything!" Dean said.
Bianca sighed. "She's not getting rid of the baby, Dean--she just needs to be around people that will help her with it, since you're still not on board. So much for love, Dean."
Dean slumped down on the couch. "But I do love her. I just--I let my fear get the better of me. I need her back."
"Well, she broke up with you, and didn't tell you where she was going. So you'll have to figure out how to get a hold of her." Sam said.
Dean nodded. "I'll figure something out."
