"Awh, hell baby."

Dean sighs, his lips not an inch from your cheek as he holds you tight.

"I know it hurts, just hold on."

He soothes, standing by your side as you squirm on the hospital bed, clearly in pain. You were about to give birth to your first child, and Dean was just as damn scared as you were. He didn't know the first thing about being a good father but…damn, he was gonna try.

"Breathe like we practiced okay?"

Dean murmurs, sitting down next to you and distracting you as the anesthesiologist gets the epidural ready. Holy shit. He'd seen literal hell before and it looked better than that needle.

"Uh…right."

Dean looks away, looking into your scared eyes. Awh, his baby.

"Hey."

Dean hushes, holding your soft cheeks.

"M'not gonna let anything bad happen to you, got it? You and our little girl. Gonna be so healthy, I promise."

His green eyes hold your gaze, gently pressing kisses against your soft face as the needle goes into your spine.

"Not so bad, huh?"

Dean soothes, stroking your hair back and getting you comfortable again.
