An Ego That Could Fill the Grand Canyon: AFTER THE END OF THE WORLD
Lucas William Winchester really was the most beautiful child ever born. The world itself did not implode, but the set of Supernatural practically did. Lucas was only two days old and that’s how long Jensen and Jared had been at each other’s throats. Currently, they were trying to shoot the scene in “Faith” where Dean is in the hospital bed and Sam is supposed to be upset and on the verge of tears. The only problem was that Jared’s eyes were full of indifference. After three miserable takes, he threw up his hands and said, “I don’t give a shit if you live or die you stubborn, selfish prick! If you don’t care enough to go over there and meet that boy than I don’t care what happens to you!”
“JARED! JENSEN! My trailer NOW!” Kripke shouted so loud it shook the walls of the set. Both actors cringed as they took off to follow their god boss. Once they were inside the trailer, Kripke slammed the door and started shouting. “What the fuck was all that about? What the hell is going on? You two have been fighting since we started filming this episode.”
“No offense Eric, but this really isn’t any of your business,” Jensen said slightly irritated.
“The hell it isn’t. Whatever is going on between you two is interfering with my show. Now you tell me what the hell is going on!”
“You remember Sam and Dean Winchester?”
“Is that a joke?”
“We met them. We know they’re real and that you based the show on them.”
“Oh. Well-what do they have to do with this?”
“Jared, don’t,” Jensen warned.
“It seems Dean and Jensen got together one night. It was before the show existed. Dean was cursed, they were drunk, and a little sex later, Dean was pregnant. We met him and Sam when they came to tell Jen. The only problem is, Jen never believed it. Two days ago, the baby was born. This asshole has a son and he won’t even go see him!”
“Holy-shit,” Kripke muttered as he fell onto the couch. Of course, his shock didn’t stop the arguing.
“You son of a bitch! I can’t believe you told him! How could you tell him?!”
“Maybe he can knock some sense into you! Jen, please, just go to their house. Hold that little boy for two minutes and then come and tell me you want nothing to do with him.”
“No!”
“Why not?” Kripke asked. “Jensen, if you have a kid, why don’t you want to see him?”
“Because it’s impossible! Men can’t have babies!”
“You want a blood test to prove it? Fine, I’ll ask Dean.”
“No, I don’t want a blood test. I want this not to be happening,” Jensen said defeated as he sat down.
“But Jen, it is,” Jared replied in a gentle tone as he knelt before his lover. “Jensen, you have a beautiful baby boy and you need to see him.”
“Kid’s gonna have four dads,” the older man muttered.
“I’ll settle for being the cool uncle,” Jared said with a smile. “Besides, I’ve already been asked to be Lucas’ godfather.”
“Lucas?”
“Lucas William Winchester. Will you come see him now?” Jensen didn’t speak, he simply nodded his head. “Thank you,” the younger man whispered. “Eric, we need-”
“Take the day. Hell, take the weekend. Be back on Monday and you better be back on your game. And I want pictures.”

At the Winchester house:
Jared let him and Jensen in, having been given a key a few months before. He instructed his lover to wait in the living room as he went to find the Winchesters.
He found the small family in the master bedroom. Sam and Dean were curled around each other, asleep. Lucas was just starting to whimper in his bassinet next to the bed. Jared carefully picked him up, scribbled a note to inform his parents where he’d gone, and walked to the front of the house. Jensen stood there nervously shifting from foot to foot. “Jen, relax. This is your son,” Jared said as he placed the baby in his lover’s arms.
“He’s so tiny,” Jen whispered in awe. The actor lovingly traced the infant’s face with a gentle finger. The baby sighed and settled against him. From the look on his face, Jared knew Jensen was in love. There was no way he would ever deny his child again.
The End. For Now.
