Kids. The thought of them has always been on the back of Dean’s mind. He was never sure if he wanted kids of his own but he at least knows that he loves them.
Dean spent years of his life being told that one day he would grow up and make an amazing “mom” always lingered with him. His thoughts around kids are too deeply tied to his dysphoria for him to even think about it for the longest time. And after having top surgery and going on hormones so young, he wasn’t sure he could even have kids anymore.
Then you came around and when he fell for you, his feelings around kids changed. He sees how you light up around kids, the way you linger near them on cases. His girl is maternal to the bone, part of why he fell for you. But one issue, he knows you are infertile. He’s the one who sat in the doctor’s office with you as you cried while being told. To you, that was you losing your dream of being a mother.
So secretly Dean schedules an appointment with a fertility specialist. It’s an impulse decision but one he’s not backing out of. And when he leaves the appointment he discovers that somehow miraculously the hormones didn’t impact his fertility like he thought they would. The doctor said he would just have to go off of them and do IVF, then maybe he could have kids.
When he surprises you with the information, you are obviously overjoyed. How could you not be? Dean is giving you the family you always wanted. From there, the two of you begin planning. Your family is finally coming together. But nothing prepares you for how Dean is while he’s pregnant.
“Sweetheart? Can you make that pie you made last week again? The baby demands it.” Dean says smugly as he looks over you, one hand resting on his stomach where the baby is. Dean is now four months pregnant. And if you thought this man ate a lot before, well that changed when he got pregnant.
Dean has had some intense cravings while pregnant. The kitchen in the bunker has turned into a bakery. And you’ve become an expert chef. Anything for the man currently carrying your baby.
