*Next Chapter is here:)

...

Bela had finally decided she was tired of being all the way over in Queens, and before getting any further along in her pregnancy decided to sell the condo and pack up and move. She liked the eastern side of the United States, so she didn't go too far, but just enough to make driving for her and the boys a little easier. Dean and Sam helped her out with a few things, but for the most part she just started over with all of her belongings, completely redecorating.

After a couple weeks of searching she found a nice home right on the outside of Philadelphia, in Norristown. It wasn't all that large for Bela actually, 3 bedrooms, it was an old victorian style home but was warm and lived in enough for Dean's approval. Dean had been by once after the move as well to help, though Bela made sure to hire someone to do the actual baby room off the main bedroom, just to make it go faster.

A month and a half after last chapter. late March.

Norristown, PA. Bela's Home.

Bela was a little more irratable then usual, especially while almost 7 months pregnant. Dean found it quite funny, which irritated her further...mainly because she made sure to call him atleast once a week. Granted, he was just as bad and called at least that much to check up on her.

Today, well she wasn't sure whether to panic or get pissed off. She hadn't talked to him in a week, and when she called today he didn't answer. After giving him several hours to get back to her, she tried Sam. He didn't answer either and that's when the worry started to set it. She tried the talking board...and the weird part was that nothing was happening.

She tried Bobby and Jo after that...they didn't know anything. So when Dean called her back late that night, she was fuming.

"Seriously Dean do you not understand the meaning of a cell phone? It's movable sweetheart, take it with you."

"Yeah, well...I uh couldn't take it where we went."

"I don't follow."

"We kind of...died. Again."

"You did what?"

"Died.." Dean tried.

Bela's voice cracked a little, but she composed herself. "Well clearly you're speaking to me now. Explain."

Dean smiled, sometimes he loved her bitchy side. Sometimes he hated it.

"Right...well these hunters found us, shot us...and we died. Then we went to Heaven, Cas had us try to find Joshua so we could find God...all while running from Zachariah our favorite angel."

"You're here now right? Please don't tell me somehow you've managed to contact me one last time and you're really dead."

He could hear the nervousness in her tone.

"Yes, we're okay. Joshua sent us back, basically after saying God was letting this all play out. So again, no help to us. Cas is all defeated, gave me my necklace back and everything."

She let out a sigh of relief. "You know, I'd rather you stop dying. I can't handle that stress right now Dean."

"Sorry, really I am. Hey by the way, saw Pamela."

Bela laughed. "Really?"

"Yep, she even forgave us."

"So wait...you're serious about the whole Heaven thing?"

"Yep. I mean, it's not what I expected to see...but it's alright."

"Just alright? That sounds impressive." she teased.

"Hey, we just got to the other motel, we ran outta the other one fast so they wouldn't catch us after the room was covered in blood. Gonna go wash up."

"Blood?"

"Just our clothes and the beds...wounds are healed. Hey if I send you the names of those hunters can you find them? I need to go hunt them down."

"Dean, with everything going on you want to go chase down hunters? Look how long you spent looking for me that time."

"Yes well you sweetie were hard to find...these guys are morons. But yeah fine...I'll wait til after the kid's born I guess."

"And after Lucifer's stopped?"

"Maybe."

"Right. Well get cleaned up."

They said their goodbyes and hung up.

Bela leaned back against the couch, finally able to relax.

lllllllllllllllllllllllll

1 Week Later.

Minnesota.

After getting intel from Bela about a location with a demon problem, the boys follow up and check it out. However, they are surrounded by demons and then try and outtrun them Dean and Sam run into an entire group of people who help them exorcise all the demons. It ends up being an entire town. The boys were definately not used to everyday people knowing about demons and how to exorcise them.

After following the group into town they learn that the preacher's daughter is thought to be a prophet, and she's giving the townspeople information on the demons, helping the town survive.

Bar. Night.

Sam decided to call Castiel, Dean even after all this time was still laughing everytime they had to pull out a phone to call Cas. Dean took this time to call Bela and let her know about the town and prophet.

"So another one?" she asked him.

"Yeah looks like it. She's seeing things before they happen...or I should say seeing demons, and these people are actually listening to her. Hell they're going straight in at the demons as a group. It's crazy."

"This is good?"

"Well yeah, better than people panicking. I mean, the reason we don't want the whole Lucifer/Apocalypse thing to get out is so people don't freak out and make it worse...but these guys, they're helping. I mean, I'd say it makes our job a little easier."

"Makes sense."

"You okay?"

"Fine Dean, just like I was 2 days ago. Minus the fact that I am starting to not be able to see my feet."

"I'm sure you look hot."

"Oh please. You haven't seen me in a month. You have no idea what I look like."

"Well that may be true, but you're carrying our daughter so I'm allowed to think you look good."

"Mmm or you're trying to stay on my good side."

"Do you have one?" he asked teasing.

"Not really." she said.

"Alright they're ringing bells, means something I guess people are heading out. I'll call you later."

"Yeah." she agreed.

llllllllllllllllllll

Church. Night.

They had to fight a few more demons off, and things kept getting weirder. Dean went to go talk with the prophet, Leah, again.

"I need you to tell me everything." he told her.

"About?"

"Paradise that you mentioned, what the angels are saying. Don't sugarcoat it."

"From what I know, there's some sort of prize fight, but then after we win..."

Dean assumed we meant the angels and humans..but he wasn't sure. Leah continued.

"...the planet will go to the chosen. Then it will be peaceful. No monsters, no disease. You're with those you love."

Dean looked at her. He had a tough time believing it'd go down like that. The ending sounded nice, but nothing was ever that easy.

"So this town, and you, are chosen then? That's nice." Dean commented.

"So are you Dean."

"No, more like cursed."

Dean thought about it hard. He wanted things to be like that, especially if he was ever going to have a family like he wanted. It just seemed damn near impossible.

llllllllllllllllllll

And as usual for the Winchesters, nothing was as it seemed. After Sam finally got Cas to come, they learned Leah wasn't really a prophet. Dean ended up killing her and the town realized they were being falsley lead. It got worse before it got better, but once she was killed and the truth revealed people realized their mistakes.

Dean however, well he wasn't feeling great about any of it. He was over the whole thing with the angels. He didn't want to fight a losing battle again, not with the risk of Sam saying yes or losing Bela and his child. He suddenly had the feeling maybe he should do it...say yes, get it over with. Sam wouldn't have to, and he could end all this. They could hate him...Bela and Sam. He didn't care that much though as long as they were safe.

Before Sam could stop Dean, he left the town in Minnesota and headed out quickly to Pennsylvania. He had to talk to her first, see her first.

lllllllllllllllllll

Norristown. PA

Dean drove, only stopping once for gas, straight to see Bela. He knocked a couple of times and waited.

Bela opened the door slowly, a gun dropped down at her side. "Dean." she said, a little surprised.

"Hey." he whispered.

She set the gun down on the side table by the door and opened the door all the way.

"What are you doing here? You were just..."

"I know, I just uh..."

"Alright what the hell is going on? What happened out there?"

Dean gave her a little info about the stuff that had gone down with Leah and what Cas said.

Bela motioned for Dean to get in the house. He drank in how she looked now.

"That sent you all the way here?"

"No it's just...I can't do it anymore okay? I saw the what happens if I let this continue, that Sam will say yes and the world will be turned upside down. I can't let Sam do that, and I can't put anymore people at risk, especially you and the baby."

The went into the family room. "What are you saying?"

"That I have to do this. Look, before hell...before any of that, it was me and Sam fighting, and I didn't care much about the rest of it. Now, Sam isn't the only one I worry about, it ain't just him and a car anymore. Thing is...I also know this life, well it isn't going to end pretty for me no matter what we do."

"Dean stop."

"No...I just, I have to say this...and you have to hear it. I don't care that I used to want to kill you, ever since we both came back from hell it's been different. I'm happier when you're around. When I picture how I would want things...it's with you and our girl, and that's all I know."

Bela stared at him. "You have to do what? Dean please don't tell me you're going to agree to Michael using you. I can't handle that. You can't do this, not to me, or Sam, or Bobby."

"I don't have a choice. Okay? I do this now, Sam doesn't have to say yes to Lucifer and the devil will be easier to beat without Sam as a vessel. And they're sure the angels will win...and then everything will be over. Bela, I'm not doing this without conditions. I'm going to make sure you and the baby are safe, that Sam, Bobby...whoever else I care about...that you're okay."

She sighed. He was crazy. "And what happens if you save all of us and you're not okay?"

"Bela..."

"No, don't. I've heard enough." Bela got up slowly and walked towards the other room.

"Wait, okay."

"I knew when it came to Sam you were were all about sacrificing yourself, but I thought maybe you were over it. Obviously not, and you're including me into it."

"Hey, we don't know what's gonna go down, maybe we'll get to be together after.

Dean walked up to her and took her hand.

"Please..." she started.

"I have to. I have to make this okay."

She shook her head. Dean pulled her as close as he could, and put one hand on her back and the other on her pregnant stomach. She rested her head on his chest.

"I can't do this alone, I told you that."she whispered.

"I know. I'm sorry."

"Can you think on it? Come to bed, go in the morning."

He nodded.

lllllllllllllllllllll

Bela ordered chinese and they ate a quick dinner. She picked up her phone when Dean went to the bathroom to wash up.

He's here. Bela texted had called earlier after talking to Bobby, telling her to let him know if Dean showed up. She wanted to support Dean, but she also didn't agree with him doing this.

Figured. Be there tomorrow morning.

They headed to bed not long after that. Dean got in behind her and pulled her back against his chest.

"Told you."

"Told me what?"

"That you looked great."

She let out a sigh. "You lie."

"Nope. It's true."

"Mmhhm." she mumbled sleepily.

"Go to sleep."

"I have this feeling you won't be here when we wake up."

He smiled at the use of 'we' as she referred to their daughter.

"I will."

"Okay."

"Goodnight." Dean leaned forward and kissed her shoulder. He felt her breathing slow and felt like she was asleep. He couldn't really help it, after thinking about it hard lately it just slipped out. "I love you." he whispered, barely audible. But Bela wasn't asleep all the way yet. She smiled, yet her eyes were a little teary for a second. She blamed the hormones. Not that he could see her.

Dean was certainly surpised when Bela reacted to him. "Is that so?"

He grinned. "Yeah, I guess it is."

"Good. Me too."

"You love you too? I already knew that."

"Dean."

"What? Of all people, I manage to get out all three words and you just say me too?"

"So demanding."

"Bela." Dean warned teasingly.

"Hmm?"

"I don't care if you do or not...but you're not getting away with 'you too.' So you either do, or you don't."

She laughed. Bela wasn't sure how it was they could act like usual after the night they'd had, and with knowing what he was about to do. It always just seemed to be so much fun with him. But she certainly wasn't letting him leave in the morning, if Sam couldn't stop him anyways, without him hearing it. It scared her, how she felt now. It'd been hard admitting her feelings to him, been hard finding out about the baby, and now she was here admitting she was in love with him. Even after telling him she wouldn't fall for him. That's exactly what she did.

Bela took her hand and wrapped it around Dean's hand that was laying against her stomach. "I love you Dean...sometimes I have no idea how, but I do."

He smiled, and squeezed her hand. "Thank you."

This time they both fell asleep.

End Chapter.
