Sam came to get me just as it was beginning to get dark. He knocked on the door and I opened my eyes. Nicole stirred beside me and I whispered to her, "We're about to go. You stay safe." She smiled but never opened her eyes. I kissed her and her hand came up to play with the short hair at the back of my head. She always made it hard for me to leave. I rose from the bed and grabbed my clothes and threw them on. Then I grabbed my gun and my cell. I opened the door and Sam stood there with his head down. He looked up as I closed the door behind me. "You ready to go man?", he said and I nodded. We headed to my car and climbed in. We drove to Camilla's and she let us in when I knocked on the door.
"Camilla can we talk?", Sam asked as I sat my duffle down with all our supplies in it. Camilla led us to her living room and she sat. "What were you wanting to talk about?", she asked as she turned toward us. I stood across from her and Sam sat on the coffee table in front of her. "We've figured out what this thing is. It's called an incubus demon. It attacks women at night.", Sam hesitated so I stepped in. "My wife is pregnant and it's attacked her too. She wanted me to tell you to try saying a prayer of protection to see if that would keep it away." Camilla looked at us and I expected her to run away screaming but instead she nodded her head. "Ok. I'm glad you explained all of this to me. I will do as your wife has asked just before I go to bed. Y'all are going to stay here and see if everything is going to be alright tonight though right?" Sam gave her a concerned look and nodded, "Yes Camilla we'll watch you just as we have these past few nights. Nicole felt as if the prayer will work since it has for her." Camilla nodded and went to get ready for bed as Sam and I turned on the computer and waited for Camilla to give us the go ahead to turn the camera on.
When she was ready she came out and gave us the go ahead and Sam flipped on the camera and sat on the couch with the computer on the coffee table. I grabbed a couple beers from our travel cooler and handed one to Sam and took one for myself. We watched as Camilla knelt beside her bed and folded her hands in prayer. She silently prayed for several minutes and then crawled in the bed and covered up. I wondered if it was weird to have someone watching you sleep every night. I had always thought how rapey it would be. I shuddered as I thought about that crazy book series that all the women were so enamored with. Sam rose from the couch after about an hour and excused himself so I took his place on the couch. While I was sitting there I saw a dark shadow form in the corner of the room and sat forward and watched the video closely. The shadow formed and started to float toward the bed where Camilla lay. Sam walked back in just as I was about to go find him. "It's back and it's headed toward her bed.", I told him and he sat to watch the computer screen. I went to my pack and grabbed my sawed off shotgun with the salt shells in it and Sam held up his hand. "No no wait! Let's see if it does anything first.", he frowned and then focused on the computer screen again.
I continued holding the sawed off but stood behind the couch so I could watch over Sam's shoulder. The shadow hovered over the bed but when it tried to descend on her it could only get so far it seemed. Then it looked as if it hit some kind of barrier. Ok so the prayer may have helped to keep it from attacking her but it didn't get rid of it. Guess it's back to the drawing board as to what to do. "Ok Sam it looks like the prayer didn't make it leave. It just kept her from being attacked. Looks like we'll be back at least one more night." Sam nods and says, "I'm thinking since it's a form of demon that we try to handle it like any other demon. We'll come back tomorrow night a little earlier and draw the demon trap under the bed and then say the incantation and hopefully get rid of it for good." Sam nodded and we agreed on scaring it away for the night. Sam rose from the couch and walked toward the bedroom. He opened the door as I watched on the computer screen. The shadow seemed to have a face that looked toward Sam standing in the open door. It vanished more quickly than it appeared.
Sam walked back into the living room smiling and shaking his head. We kicked back and watched the computer screen a little longer to see if the incubus would come back. It didn't so Sam handed me the computer and sprawled out on Camilla's couch to take a bit of a nap. I sat back and watched the computer screen and let my mind wander. What would we name our little girl? Would she look like me or Nicole or a mixture of both? Would she be born early? I wondered if Nicole was asleep or if she was sitting up reading as she did some nights? I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew I was opening my eyes and the sun was up. Sam was still sprawled out on the couch and I was close to having a crick in my neck from the position I was in. I stood and closed the computer and walked over to Sam. I shook him awake, "Let's go man. It's daylight and we've got stuff to do." Sam rubbed his eyes and raked a hand through his hair as he stood and helped me pack up to leave.

When I woke the next morning I had a strange feeling that today was going to be very interesting. I got up and showered and got ready to start my day. I went into the living room when I had dressed. Liz and Dean were making out on the couch. I stopped short when I saw Liz sitting in Dean's lap facing him. Her hands were unbuttoning his shirt and his hands were on her hips. She ground herself on top of him. They had no clue that I was in the room. I guess I was in a state of shock but after a few seconds, which seemed more like an hour, of standing there I felt a pressure build and then I noticed there was a rush of water running down my legs. I gasped audibly and looked down at the floor where a puddle was growing. "Oh my God!", Liz said as she looked up and saw me standing there. "Nicole we've got to get you to the hospital!" I looked at Liz dumbfounded as she bounded off of Dean's lap and practically ran to me. "Nicole snap out of it! Your water broke! Are you hurting?" I looked at Liz, finally seeing, and I shook my head, "No I'm not hurting too bad. I just feel some pressure." Liz nodded at me and then looked over her shoulder at Dean who was now standing fairly close to us but still a good distance away. "Dean see if you can get D and Sam on the phone. Tell them to meet us at the hospital. I'm going to get the car so we can take Nicole to the hospital." Liz went into mother hen mode, giving everyone a job and making sure we followed it.
I allowed her to lead me to her car where Dean had somehow beaten us there. Liz helped me into the car and even thought to place some towels in the seat as well. Dean drove us quickly but safely to the hospital, looking at me every few seconds to see that I was alright. Liz held my hand and talked softly to me. "I got D and Sam on the phone. They're meeting us at the hospital. Knowing D they'll be there before we get there.", Dean said as he drove. Sure enough when we pulled up under the awning of the hospital D was there waiting with a wheelchair. Sam was standing behind him looking almost scared and occasionally running his hands through his hair. Liz helped me into the wheelchair and D leaned down to kiss me. "Are you doing alright baby?", he said looking at me hard in the eyes. I reached up and stroked his cheek, "Yes I'm doing good right now. Let's just not linger too long. I believe this little girl is ready to make her entrance in the world." D began to wheel me into the hospital and they got me in a room pretty quickly. Sam, Liz and Dean went to the waiting room to wait for little Miss Winchester to enter the world.
When they had me in the room and had my IV in D looked very concerned all of a sudden. I reached for his hand as the nurse took all my vitals and began hooking me up to the baby monitoring system. He took my hand, "D are you alright? You look a little pale." D nodded slightly and then asked the nurse, "Are you sure this is alright? Isn't Nicole going in to labor a bit early?" The young nurse smiled at D and reassured him, "She is three weeks early but little girls generally get ready a little faster than boys and your wife is a small woman. Not much room for this little one to grow after a certain time." D nodded at her, "Just make sure you take really good care of them." "We will Mr. Winchester.", she assured him.
