Yeah so two months ago when I said I was done… I lied… here is another part in the "Annie" Story. I just can't get away from these characters and plots that follow them… I wrote this chapter in 20 minutes… it may not be perfect, but I wanted to get it started.

Hide and Seek

Part IV

Chapter 1: Again

"Please!" I begged.

"No.." Dean said, almost laughing at me.

"But we haven't in so long… and Mia and Ty are almost two now, I think that your dad can handle those two and Ellie… I mean he did raise you and Sam all by himself, these kids must be angels compared to you two." I told him. He just kept laughing.

"Annie, we quit for a reason. They whole hoping not to get killed and try to give Mia and Ty a semi-normal life. Remember?" He reminded. I just sighed.

"Yes, but you can't just ignore your calling Dean! We were put on this earth for a reason and I strongly believe that fighting off the paranormal is out reason. Mine, ours, Sam and Gabi's." I stated, feeling quiet confident.

"And what makes you think that?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Duh, because we kick ass at it!" I exclaimed. He laughed and wrapped his arms around me.

"Annie…" He said lowly.

"Dean…" I mocked his tone. He couldn't help but laugh.

"I really don't think this is a good idea…" He told me.

"But I don't care what you think darling." I said batting my eyelashes. Once again, he laughed.

"You know I think you have gotten more sarcastic since we got married." He replied.

"Well, some one has got to keep it interesting… so are we hunting this thing or not?" I asked.

"I don't know…" He said, obviously trailing off in his thoughts.

"Come on babe… I need to kill something badly! I haven't in like… three years! Well, besides spiders and imaginary ghosts in Mia's closet….I want a kill!" I exclaimed, almost jumping out my shoes.

"See that attitude right there just scares me." Dean stated, halfway joking… halfway serious.

"There was a time when you had the same kind of attitude before you became all family guy on me." I said. My attitude and tone had changed from that of desperate for a kill to desperate for the past. I was serious.

Things hadn't really changed in mine and Dean's passion for each other. I still loved him and he still loved me. But it wasn't the same. We didn't have to fight for each other anymore and the sparks were fading. Plus having kids changes everything. But not in a bad way. I had tried to get everything to go back to the way it was, spells, potions, everything. But nothing was changing. We were becoming an old married couple… and I was only twenty-seven!

"Annie…" He said softly, trying to reach out for me. I flinched away.

"Gabi feels the same way with Sam… maybe, I don't know… maybe me and Gabi should do this hunt alone." I told him, never taking my eyes off the floor.

"Are you serious? You can't just go out there alone! Not after two years of not hunting at all!" He exclaimed, trying to talk sense into me. But we both knew it wouldn't work.

"Dean… I think this is something that the both of us need to do. We will be fine. It's just some kind of low level human form demon. I can actually write a spell to get rid of him, I just have to find him." I stated. He sighed.

"I don't like the idea…" He started. "But if you want it, then I guess I won't stop you. Hell I can't stop you. I know better then that."

"Because if you could you would…" I said smiling.

"Exactly." He said. I hugged him tightly.

"Thanks babe… I promise everything will be fine." I assured him. But I know it didn't work.

--------

(Gabi's POV)

Sam wasn't happy. Dean wasn't happy… and strangely enough, neither was Annie. I was happy, but I was always happy.

Annie loved Dean. It wasn't him she wasn't happy with. It was the whole family life thing. And she had a hard time believing that Dean was actually happy with it to. I mean she loved the twins, no doubt about that. But she didn't love the whole thing all put together. And that was just Annie… she had never been content with one thing forever, except music.

I had convinced Sam to let me go with her on this hunt like she wanted me to. Actually it didn't take much convincing because he didn't have much of a say so in it. But I needed to go with her. Because I was feeling it to. That same scared of contentment that she was and we needed an escape.

Now her idea of an escape was killing this demon, I myself found that a bit to intense, I just wanted a road trip for a few days. But I would take what I could get.

"Ok, we're all set. Bye sweetie…" I said as I held my four year old daughter for a second. "Be good for dad and Uncle Dean ok?" She smiled.

"Mommy… I'm always good." She said, flashing her wide smile. I just laughed.

"Uh huh…." I said raising my eyebrows. I stood up from my kneeling position I was in so I could hug her so that I could look up at Sam.

"Bye Sam…" I whispered. He hugged me tightly and kissed me.

"Be careful, k?" He replied. I nodded. I looked over at Dean and Annie and saw her say goodbye to the twins, then to a very reluctant Dean, who strangely had tears in his eyes.

"Don't go…" I heard him say.

--------

(Dean's POV)

"Don't go…" I told her as she pulled away from my embrace. I promised myself a long time ago that I would never let her out of my sight, but now she was walking away herself.

"Dean I have to… I need to, for my sake, please…" She told me. And I nodded, trying to understand what she was going through. She hugged me again and this time kissed me, but there was something missing from the kiss. She held it back, and didn't let it come through her.

I only ever got scared of something if it had to do with Annie or the twins. And for two years I hadn't had any reason to be scared. But now I did.

I was deathly afraid that Annie might be falling out of love with me.

---------

(Sam's POV)

Saying goodbye to Gabi was hard, but for some reason I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. I knew it wasn't that big of a hunt, just something that needed to be killed. So I wasn't scared. Not for me anyways.

I was scared for Annie, and Dean. But more for Annie. My powers had gotten even stronger through the years, and now I could get vibes around people and not just spirits.

The vibes around Annie had started getting strange. She was dreaming all the time, about a different life, a different way… the weird part was how all the things she already had, Dean, the twins, me and Gabi, they were all in her dreams to… just in different ways. And she felt bad for it, but couldn't help it. She didn't know I knew these things… but I did, and I wished I didn't.

But as the girls drove off, I looked over at Dean… and he was scared.

"Dean?" I asked.

"Do you think she is coming back?" He asked me, still staring in the direction the car was going.

"Yeah, I think she is. I know she is." I told him.

"What have I done wrong?" He asked. Man he was full of questions today.

"Nothing man, it's just… you've grown different ways. She is still a dreamer, and somewhere along the line, you stopped being one. Its scaring her. She just needs time, but she loves you." I said.

"Is that brotherly love talk? Or Psychic babble?" He teased. I laughed.

"A little bit of both." I replied. He nodded, and we took the kids back upstairs.

---------

(Annie's POV)

We had taken my convertible and had the top down. Thank God for air.

"Doesn't this feel amazing?" I asked Gabi.

"What?" She asked laughing some.

"Freedom!" I replied, not being able to contain my smile.

"Annie… what's going on with you?" She asked. I shrugged.

"Tired…" I said.

"Of what?" She replied. I sighed and pulled the top off… fifteen minutes of fun was over.

"I don't know… being a mom, being a wife, having a job… just being normal isn't for me." I stated.

"Says the witch…" She mumbled.

"Ok, so maybe even with all that I'm still not normal. I don't know I thought I could get used to it you know? I thought I could be like you and have all my dreams come true and be able to be happy with that… but here they are and I'm still not content." I said.

"Do you still love Dean?" She asked. Why the hell would she even ask that?

"Of course I do! More then life!" I exclaimed defensively.

"What about Mia and Ty? Do you love them?" She asked with blank expression. I sighed and felt my heart starting to beat quickly.

"Yeah I do… but in a way, I resent them a little." I told her honestly.

"You resent your own children?" She gaped.

"Yeah… I mean they were miracles… the fact that I could even have them was a miracle and the fact that all three of us lived is an even bigger miracle. But that is when things changed for Dean and me… and I just want that passion, that insane, erotic, extreme passion we used to have back. But it isn't happening. I know it isn't there fault. Hell it was that passion that brought their existence. But I just want it back…" I said. She smiled some.

"Maybe away time will do us both good. Just like old times." She told me smiling. I smiled back.

"Precisely." I stated, before hitting the gas harder.
