Right this is a little fanfic inspired by the last episode of season three. I don't own any of the characters or the affiliated programme I just own the plot. Hope you like it and please read & review. Thank you kindly.
"Let me come with you. I can help." The tears were streaming freely down my face. He just looked at me with those big green eyes and wiped away the tears.
"Jo I can't. I don't even want Sammy there but we're stronger together and if things go bad I know he can look after himself…."
"Oh and I can't? You know very well how much of a good fighter I am." I punched him in his arm and he chuckled.
"I know you are baby. There's been many a time when you've kicked my butt." A chuckle escaped my lips thinking back. "But I won't, no I can't live with myself if I let anything happen to you. You're my angel. I knew from the first time we hunted together, when you snuck your way into the case, that I had to do everything in my power to make you mine and never let anything hurt you." He kissed me passionately, squeezing me tight.
"But Dean I can't just stay here waiting, wondering what's happened. Waiting for either you to return to me or for Sammy to come to my door and tell me that I've lost the only thing in my life worth living for. I can't. I've already lost one man in my life and I can't go through loosing another." He sighed. He knew how much losing my dad hurt me and how much he meant to me, but Dean was stubborn and part of me knew he would never change his mind, but that didn't mean I wouldn't find a way. Like he said I snuck on a case before and I'll do it this time.
"Joanna Beth Harvelle you mean the world to me. You've seen more of me than anyone else in the world has, not even Sam. There's nothing I wouldn't do or give for you. Before I met you I just drank my life away and slept with any girl. My life was the family business. Then you came along and turned my world upside down and you gave me something to live for. With you there I see a light at the end of the tunnel. I love you angel and I promise I'll do everything in my power to come home to you." He pulled me onto my bed and held me close. Stroking my hair and whispering words of comfort to me and I sobbed uncontrollably into his chest. His face looking at me with concern for me but I could see deep down that he was scared. My eyes started drifting open and closed and I knew no matter how I tried to fight sleep tomorrow would come.
The midday sun shone on my face, I stretched my arms and shot up realising that Dean wasn't in bed. My eyes darted around the room looking for him. Panic shot through me. I sobbed hysterically, the sound echoing against the motel walls. He'd gone and left me here alone, but before I could process anything else, I heard the sound of the keys in the lock and saw Dean and Sam walk in the door. I ran up to him almost knocking all three of us over. Dean's arms just wrapped me up and he placed a gentle kiss on top of my head. "I thought you'd gone without saying goodbye." The tear stains evident on my cheeks.
"I could never do that baby. I just had to pick up Sam so we could finalize the plan." Sam then smiled knowingly at me as I hugged him next. The next few hours were spent talking strategies and weapons, with me on Dean's lap his arms around me but still free to help map.
"What if we sneak into the house from the window?" Sam asked chewing on the remains of his salad.
"No good." Dean said munching on his pie. "Lilith will have demons guarding the windows looking for us. We'll sneak in the back and get her while she's sleeping. Nice and quick."
"Sounds like the best way. I hope it works." Sam said looking at me and then to each other sharing the same knowing look. The day just seemed to go way too quick and before I knew it, it was time for them to leave.
"I love you Dean Winchester more than anything. You better come back home to me, you hear?" I tried my best to cover the fear and shakiness in my voice. Sensing what I was feeling he kissed me, more passionately than he ever had his hands pulling me as close as physically possible. Neither one of us wanting to let the other go.
"I love you to Jo, more than you'll ever know. Even if I don't come back today I'll always be with you. You saved me Jo, and for that I am truly grateful." He pulled away and started to walk out the door and I reached out trying my hardest not to let him go. He turned to Sam and nodded. "I'll start the car."
"Jo I know how much Dean means to you. Hell he's my brother and I would do anything for him even die, but I know what you two have is even stronger than that. It's true what he said, that you saved him. This past year it's the best and the happiest side of Dean I've seen and I can't thank you enough for all you've done for him, for both of us. I'll do everything I can to bring him back to you Jo. I promise." He looked at me with love and admiration in his eyes and I knew deep down that he meant what he said.
"I know you will Sam. Thank you." He smiled and set off towards the car. "Hey Sammy?"
"Yeah Jo?" He asked quizzically.
"I love you big brother."
"I love you too little sis." The sound of the impala's engine roaring to life and the tires screeching down the path filled my ears. I reached for my chest trying to soothe the ache that settled there. It was like something was telling me that I wouldn't see my Dean again.
