Beta: demondetox (She is so amazing and is as much a part of this story as I am. She helped me smooth out A LOT of bumps in the road and gave me the confidence to actually finish this whole big journey in a time of my life when I couldn't remember left from right. Some of these ideas are taken directly from conversations we had. She is just a godsend and I love my wifey to itty bitty pieces. You can't have her. She's mine. *growls protectively*)

Summary Dr. Jensen Ackles is running away from a past that haunts him, runs as far north as Maine in hopes of forgetting the death of his husband and unborn child. He expects to shut down his feelings and throw himself into his new job at Mount Desert Island Hospital but literally running into nurse Jared Padalecki alters everything.
Jared is dealing with his own struggles and a complicated pregnancy, leaving both of them wounded and wanting to keep their distance despite the obvious connection. But when forces are at work that can’t stop Jensen from coming to Jared’s rescue, keeping their distance is a bit more tricky. Terrified of what can go wrong, and even more intimidated by what can go right, Jared and Jensen figure out a way to get a hold of the future they've been hoping for and if they are strong enough to claim.
