A 17-year-old Dean Winchester sat in the front of his father’s car, staring straight ahead at the road in front of him. He didn’t dare to look over at John, because he knew the older man was seething at the moment. If there was one thing that John Winchester hated more than anything, it was wasting precious time that could have been spent on a hunt, and this particular distraction was worse than others. Had it been up to Dean, John never would have found out about any of this, the entire thing would have stayed a secret and become some forgotten nightmare. But, of course, fate liked to fuck with Dean and had made sure that there had been no way for the boy to escape his mistakes. It wasn’t like Dean had meant for any of this to happen. Hell, this was the last thing on Earth that he’d wanted to deal with. But, nobody had ever accused Dean of being smart. He’d fucked up and now here he was in the middle of the biggest mess he’d ever made, with no clear way of how to fix it.

It had all started four months before, when John had been called in as back up by an acquaintance he had made throughout his years of hunting. The other hunter, Dale, worked with his wife Marie and their teenage daughter Katie. They’d run into a case that was a little bigger than they could handle on their own and Dale had put out word that he needed some help. The Winchesters happened to be in a town only about an hour or so away, so John had agreed to come help out the best he could. Not sure how much manpower might be needed he had dragged Dean along with him, while Sam stayed behind in the hotel room they’d been staying in for the past couple of months.

Once John and Dean had arrived and started working the case with the other family they’d realized that not only did they have vampires on their hands, but a nest of them bigger and stronger than any of them had anticipated or had ever encountered before. After much debate, and a lot of arguing from the younger hunters, the adults had decided that the situation was too dangerous for Dean or Katie to be involved in. Another call was put out to bring in more experienced hunters and two nights later found the adults heading out to deal with the vamp nest while the teenagers were left to themselves in the hotel room.

Everyone involved thought it was an ideal arrangement, that there was no possible way the two teens would be in danger or could get themselves into any trouble. They were both experienced and well trained hunters and, though Dean was a bit of a wild card, Katie was a good girl. She was straight laced, a straight A student, never causing problems for her parents or getting into any trouble. At least, that was the persona she put on for her parents. Neither of them realized that their shy little girl who always kept to herself had a bit of a wild streak to her and leaving her alone with Dean Winchester was like mixing fire and gasoline. A couple of bottles of vodka stolen from a convenience store up the street and a few hours alone had been all the pair had needed to make stupid choices of epic proportions.

A month and a half later Dean had answered a call on his cell phone, never expecting to hear Katie’s voice on the other end, let alone to hear her utter the words ‘I’m pregnant’ as soon as he had answered the phone. Two seconds, that was approximately all the longer it took for the words to be said. Two seconds and Dean felt his heart drop into his stomach. Two seconds for his entire world to come crumbling down around him. There was no way he could be a father, he was too damned young and had no idea what the hell he was doing…and God knew he wasn’t having a shining example of fatherhood being set for him. He didn’t know much, but Dean was pretty sure that the way he had been raised was not the way a child was suppose to be raised and he knew damned well it wasn’t the way he would choose for HIS child to be raised.

That first phone conversation about what came to be known as ‘our little problem’ had been full of panic on both of their parts. Neither Dean nor Katie knew what to do or how to handle the situation. A teenage pregnancy was never good in the best and most normal of circumstances, and neither of them exactly lead what could be known as a normal life. Both of them knew what it was like to be raised in the life of a hunter, without any kind of normalcy to balance things out, and the one thing they could both agree on was that neither one wanted to raise a child the way they’d been raised especially as young as they both were. That was the only thing they could agree on and the only conclusion they could come to in that first conversation. Neither one could come up with a plan on how to keep from bringing a child into their lives and, more importantly, how to keep their parents from finding out.

Over the next several weeks, several frantic and whispered phone calls were made as the teens tried to find a reasonable and viable solution to their problem. They had discussed, debated, and argued over every possible answer to the situation that they could think of and all they could seem to figure out was that they were both stupid and the entire thing sucked, no matter what they decided to do it was going to be hard and it was going to blow. Finally, a month and a half after Dean had gotten the life changing phone call, they’d decided on a course of action. Katie had heard of a clinic in the area her and her parents were currently staying in that she wouldn’t need her parents permission to go to and wouldn’t cost much. A little bit of money and half an hour on a doctor’s table and the whole thing would be taken care of. Both of them could go on with their lives and pretend none of this could ever happen.

The night before Katie was supposed to go to the clinic was the night that everything fell apart and blew up in both of their faces. Dean and Sam had been sitting at the table in the motel room of the month working on their homework when the room door had slammed open and John came storming in, rage written all over his face. Both boys had looked up at him, eyes wide with a mixture of fear and shock, but before either of them could say a word, John had come over and grabbed his eldest son and tore him away from the table only to slam his back up against the wall. “Did you get Katie Wilson knocked up?”

Dean’s eyes had gone wide, not sure of how to answer. Obviously his dad knew the truth, or at least he had an idea, but that didn’t mean Dean wanted to offer up undeniable proof to him. John was already angry enough that Dean didn’t want to set him off even more. Though, realistically, there was no way any of this was going to end well. “Dad, I…what makes you think…?”

“Don’t play dumb with me, boy. I just got a call from Dale Wilson. He found an appointment card on the floor in his hotel room for some clinic over there, with his daughter’s name on it. She was supposed to go there tomorrow after school. A little search of her things and he found an awful lot of phone calls to you on her cell phone over the past few months. Care to tell me why that is?”

Sam had been sitting at the table the whole time, watching the entire scene unfold before him in wide eyed terror. He had seen his brother and his father get into some serious arguments before, but he knew instinctively that this one was worse than the others. After he heard everything his dad had to say to his older brother, he had looked over at Dean with a mixture of confusion and disappointment in his eyes. He had always looked up to his big brother and what he had just heard was so far from the pedestal he’d put Dean on that he wasn’t sure how to take it. “Dean?”

“Sammy, why don’t you…go for a walk or something? There’s some money in my bookbag. Go…get yourself some soda or something.” Hearing the sound of his younger brother’s voice, Dean had looked over at Sam and tried to shoo him out of the room. The last thing he needed was for the younger boy to be brought into the middle of this, it was already enough of a mess at it was. Sam, however, refused to budge and Dean groaned inwardly when he realized he was going to have to admit to his biggest mistake to date in front of his baby brother. Shaking his head a little he turned back to John and stared his dad in the eye, trying to look more confident than he felt. “Yeah, dad, she’s pregnant. And yeah, it’s mine. But it’s nothing you need to worry about. We’re dealing with it, after tomorrow it won’t be a problem anymore.”

“Wrong. Unfortunately for the two of you, Katie’s mother doesn’t believe in dealing with this type of problem that way. My idiot of a son had to go and get the one hunter knocked up who’s family is still religious. So she won’t be going anywhere tomorrow and your little problem isn’t going to be going away any time soon. Now we have to take the time and go talk to the Wilsons. Figure out how to clean up your damned mess that you’ve gotten your fool ass into.”

That conversation had been two weeks ago and Dean was fairly certain that he and his dad hadn’t spoken more than a few words here and there ever since. Now, the day had finally come to go meet with Katie and her parents to try and come up with a plan for the child she was carrying. Dean was a nervous wreck and being stuck in a car with John wasn’t helping the situation any. He had no idea what the final game plan was going to be, but one thing he knew for certain…his entire life was about to change.

The decision had been made, with very little input from him, that Dean Winchester was going to be a father whether he liked it or not. The entire thought terrified him. What the hell did he know about being anyone’s father? His entire childhood had been growing up in the back of his dad’s car or in a motel room, he didn’t have the slightest clue how to take care of a baby or how to raise a child. Hell, to get technical he was still a kid himself.

In the months leading up to the birth of his child, Dean did everything he could think of to help Katie get ready. Anywhere they happened to be for a case, he picked up as many odd jobs as he could and would split the money between helping his dad and sending it back to Katie. He tried to get to see her at least once a month, and even managed to go to a doctor’s appointment or two with her. Nothing he did felt like enough, though. He knew that her parents looked at him as some kind of teenage slacker, getting their ‘innocent’ daughter pregnant and then presumably leaving her to deal with it on her own. John barely spoke to him anymore; Dean knew he resented the distraction that a baby was placing on all of them, and he knew this wasn’t going to be some happy ending where his dad would see his grandchild for the first time and fall instantly in love.

The worst reaction however, in Dean’s eyes at least, was from his little brother. Up until now Dean had always been a hero, damned near a god, in Sammy’s eyes. Now the only thing in Sam’s eyes when he looked at his big brother was disappointment. Dean had made a mistake; proven that he was mortal. He could deal with taking shit from anyone else, but knowing he let down his baby brother hurt more than anything else and was possibly Dean’s biggest failure to date.

As the date drew closer for the baby’s arrival, plans were set in motion to ensure that Dean would be around for the birth as well as to help out in the days following. For the two weeks prior to Katie’s due date, the Winchesters would stay in a motel local to Katie and her family and would only go on cases that were no more than half an hour’s drive away at most. John was annoyed, of course, because he knew there were cases farther away that he would be well suited for; but then again, most everything related to Dean or the baby annoyed him anymore. Dean had learned not to mention the pregnancy or the baby, because it would only set his dad off, making the already stressful situation even more so.

The flaw in the plan came a week and a half before they were set to move to their temporary residence. Dean was two and half states away, eyeballs deep in a hunt with his dad, when he got a frantic call from Katie that her water had broken; three and a half weeks before her due date. It had taken a lot of begging and pleading on Dean’s part in order for John to agree to leave the hunt early; even trying to appeal to the fact that his grandchild was being born didn’t sway the older man. Not until Dean assured him that he didn’t have to stay, that he could just drop his son off at the hospital and leave, did John finally agree.

The several hour drive across multiple states was long and tense. Nobody in the car said a word and the only sound was the occasional ping from Dean’s cell phone as he received frequent updates from Katie’s parents to fill him in on the progression of her labor. It wasn’t going well, Katie was in a lot of pain and starting to have complications and the baby was beginning to show signs of distress. If something didn’t change, soon, there was a chance that an emergency C-section would have to be performed.

After nine hours overnight of being stuck in a car with his father and younger brother, with zero sleep to show for it, Dean found himself running through a hospital to find the maternity ward. John had dropped him at the front door and then he and Sam had taken off back to the hunt they’d left behind, without so much as a glance in the rearview mirror as they pulled out of the parking lot. Dean didn’t have the time to think on it as he was too worried about getting to Katie’s side. When he finally found the maternity ward and came scrambling down the hall, Katie’s parents were standing in the hallway and Dean nearly broke into a sprint as he tried to get to them.

“Mr. Wilson! Mrs. Wilson! Where is she? Is she okay? The baby…?”

Katie’s mother turned towards him at the sound of his voice and when Dean saw her red rimmed eyes, he could feel his heart drop into his stomach. Something wasn’t right, something had happened, he knew it instantly. He just didn’t know how bad it really was until the older woman opened her mouth to speak. “Dean. The baby, she’s fine, you have a daughter. But Katie…there were so many complications. They did everything they could for her, but…she’s gone, Dean. My baby girl is gone.”
