(A/N: This is a continuation of a request. It had gotten too lengthy so I split it into two.)
“Uncle Sam?” you say quietly, breaking the fifteen minute silent streak.
He looks up at you, a questioning look on his face.
“I’m scared.” you admit. You were. You were still practically a kid yourself, how were you supposed to have one?
Sam stands up and takes a seat next to you. “We’ll figure this out, alright? All of us.”
You look up at him with wary eyes. You weren’t so sure. “What if he kicks me out?”
“What? Dean? You honestly think your dad would kick you out?” Sam asks, disbelief evident in his voice.
“My mom’s parents kicked her out.” you say quietly.
“Well that isn’t going to happen, I promise you that. You are not going anywhere. Neither am I, and neither is Dean. Okay?” he says sincerely, his eyes searching yours.
You nod despite not entirely believing him and return to staring at your hands.
Sam remains seated next to you and the two of you sit in silence until the Impala is heard outside.
“It’s going to be okay.” Sam assures you when he catches the panicked look on your face.
You nod, not fully believing him. There was nothing okay about this situation.
Dean walks in a few minutes later. As he walks down the stairs he furrows his eyebrows in confusion at what he finds. “What’s going on?” he asks, looking at both you and Sam oddly.
“Dean, Y/N has something she needs to tell you.” Sam says.
“And that would be?” Dean asks cautiously, walking over to stand in front of the couch.
“You might want to sit down.” Sam adds.
“Y/N?” your father asks, his tone growing more and more cautious by the minute.
You nod, hoping he would take Sam’s advice and sit down.
You hadn’t met his eyes yet, you couldn’t. Instead you were focusing on a loose thread in the carpet at your feet.
You hear your father inhale deeply and take a seat on the chair opposite the couch. “Okay, I’m sitting. What’s going on?”
While waiting for Dean to get home you’d been trying to prepare yourself to tell him, but now, with him sitting just a few feet away from you, you couldn’t do it. You couldn’t manage to get your vocal chords to produce two simple words so you just shake your head instead.
Sam places his hand on your back and begins to rub small circles, saying, “It’s okay.”
“Would one of you please tell me what’s going on?” Dean asks, sounding extremely concerned and confused.
You could feel both of their eyes on you, waiting for you to speak. “I’m pregnant.” you say, your voice practically inaudible, your eyes glued to the floor.
“I’m pregnant.” you repeat, slightly louder, your voice breaking a bit.
When you don’t hear anything, you lift your eyes enough to see Dean. He was pissed.
“Go to your room.” he says firmly, his voice oddly lacking in emotion.
“What? Dad-” you begin, only to have him cut you off.
“I said go to your room.” he repeats, his voice louder, firmer, angrier, this time.
Without making eye contact you stand up and walk towards your room, your head hung low.
The two brothers wait until you’re out of earshot to speak.
“You knew.” Dean says, his jaw clenched. He didn’t know what to do, how to process what his daughter had just told him, his teenage daughter.
“She just told me, Dean. But you can’t do this, you can’t just send her to her room.”
“She’s my daughter, yes I can.” Dean replies, anger still very evident in his voice.
“But you don’t want to.” Sam says, doing his best to figure out how to defuse the situation before it exploded.
“That’s not up to you, Sam.” Dean retorts tightly.
“No, it’s not but making sure that that girl is okay is.”
“No, she’s my niece, not my kid, she’s yours and she’s scared, Dean.” Sam says.
“And I’m not? This is exactly what I never wanted to happen. It happened to her mother… it wasn’t supposed to happen to her.” Dean says, some of the anger in his voice giving way to fear.
“And when it happened to her mother, when it happened to Grace, her parents kicked her out. Y/N is scared you might do the same.”
“What?” Dean asks, looking at Sam with hurt in his eyes. How could you think he’d ever abandon you?
“That’s what she told me, Dean. That’s why you can’t just send her to her room. You have to talk to her, be there for her. This- this whole thing is messy, and it’s not going to be easy, but she needs you more than anything right now.”
Dean closes his eyes while what his brother had just said sinks in. Sam was right. Y/N needs him. He then nods and walks away, headed for his daughters room.
As he reaches the door, muffled sobs can be heard from the hallway. A pang of guilt hits him, knowing that he was at least part of the reason you were crying. Not bothering with a knock, he turns the doorknob and walks in, finding you face down on your bed, your pillow over your head. The sight before him makes him feel even worse. He hated seeing you so upset, so hurt, and he especially hated being part of the cause. Biting his bottom lip he moves forward, taking a seat on the edge of the bed. “Y/N…”
“No, I’m not going to go away. We need to talk.” Dean says firmly, authoritatively.
At the tone of his voice you remove the pillow from your head, turn yourself over, and slowly sit up. “Just do it already then.” you say, preparing yourself for the worst as you wipe away the remaining tears on your face.
“Do what?” Dean asks, not knowing what you meant.
“Yell, scream, kick me out.” you reply sadly, your eyes avoiding his. You hadn’t made eye contact with him since he’d gotten home.
“You think I’m going to kick you out?” your father asks, sounding like he’d just been kicked in the stomach.
You nod, your eyes focused on the chipping nail polish on your fingernails.
“Hey, look at me.” Dean begins, bringing his hand to your chin and firmly but gently lifting your gaze to him, forcing you to look him in the eye. “I could never do that to you, you hear me? Never.”
Looking into your father’s eyes, you could see your emotions mirrored almost perfectly. “That’s what grandma and grandpa did to mom.” you reply.
“I am not either of them. You are my daughter and I am never, ever, turning my back on you, ever.” Dean insists.
You swallow hard, trying to will yourself not to burst into tears again, and say, “I’m scared.”
“I know. But you are not alone. You have me and you have Sammy. We are going to be here for you every step of the way. Whatever it is you decide to do, we’ll be behind you one hundred percent, okay?” Dean says, his eyes glossy from unshed tears.
You nod, barely composing yourself. You were seconds away from crumbling entirely.
Your father picks up on that and adjusts himself on the bed before pulling you into his lap, wrapping his arms tightly around you.
At that, you lose it. You’d prepared yourself for anger, hostility, complete abandonment, from your father, not this. More tears begin to cascade down your cheeks.
“Shh, shh, you’re okay. It’s all going to be okay. I’m here.” Dean says soothingly, doing his best to comfort you.
You nod slightly, trying to believe what he was telling you. You weren’t sure it was going to be okay for a while, but at least you had both your dad and your uncle by your side. And that, well that made you feel like maybe someday everything would be okay again.
