This is a story that has been begging me to get published on here. Please let me know if you are interested in this and want me to continue. The story will focus on Sam's daughter and I'm hoping to continue with her through each season as a separate story if you all seem to like it. Three reviews will get an update by this weekend.
Sam watched as a figure walked through his home heading for the kitchen seeming to look around at all the different details. He had heard the guy come into the house after waking from another nightmare and had been tailing him ever since waiting for the right time to get the jump on the man. He waited a little longer until the intruder walked into the living room before making his move and getting into a tussle with him. He only stopped when he was pinned to the ground and saw it was his older brother and not just the common robber.
"Dean?" He asked and Dean smiled still sitting on Sam to keep him pinned to the tan carpet.
"Hey Sammy. Seems like you're getting rusty." Dean teased with a grin at finally getting to see his brother after so long. 3 years was too long to go with out even a phone call but he understood.
Sam rolled his eyes chuckling as he quickly flipped them and patted Dean's shoulder mockingly, before helping him up so they were both standing.
"Sure Dean, if you say so. Why are you here?" He asked as Jessica flipped the light switch from the door way looking nervous.
"Sam? What's going on? And who's that?" She asked worriedly though it seemed to fade as she saw Sam's smile.
"Jessica this is my brother Dean. Dean this is my girlfriend Jessica." He introduced. Dean looked her up and down and gave her a flirty smile noticing her shirt had the smurfs on it.
"Boy, he does not deserve you. Really, he doesn't. Smurfs huh? Cute. Listen it's nice to meet you and all but Sam and I need to talk." Dean said but Sam shook his head and moved to wrap an arm around Jessica.
"Anything you need to say, Dean, you can say to both of us." Sam told him stubbornly causing Dean to sigh. He just needed to talk to Sam and he knew his brother probably hadn't told the girl the truth if she was with him.
"Sam... Dad went out on a trip and hasn't been home in a few days." Dean said trying to get through to his brother how urgent this was. Sam shrugged not getting it and not seeming to really care.
"Dad is gone for days all the time Dean, what's new. I'm sure he'll wander back when he feels like it." Sam countered and Dean bit his lip to keep from growling in irritation.
"No, Sam. Dad went on a HUNTING trip and he hasn't been home in a few days." He rephrased his voice a little more urgent and he saw Sam finally get it.
"Jessica could you excuse us for a moment..." Sam said and dragged Dean to the other room to talk. A few minutes later he was in the room with Jessica packing while Dean waited in the living room.
"Sam, what's going on? You have that interview on Monday. You can't miss it, not after you've worked so hard to get here. Plus you're family never even talks to you and you've only really mentioned Dean in passing. Can't he get someone else to help?" Jessica asked worriedly. Sam smiled and paused packing to kiss her.
"I'll be back Sunday, I promise. Our dad could be in serious trouble and yeah we may not be the closest family, he's still my dad. Now can you go wake Deanna up? I want to say bye before I leave." He asked and Jessica nodded sighing and went to wake up Sam's daughter.
Sam had started at Stanford pretty much alone. His father told him he wouldn't support him and he didn't want to rely on Dean who had seemed to support their dad like always so he was completely alone and broke to start. Luckily Sam had run into another student, literally, and they had started talking. She had been Sam's first friend and eventually they had started dating and after one party together too many they had found out she was pregnant. Sam was scared at first but he wasn't going to leave her or their child when he loved her and wanted to marry her anyway. But it didn't last long. She went into labor early and there were complications. After 10 hours Sam had been told his daughter was alive and healthy but her mother hadn't made it.
Deanna had become the center of Sam's life after that. He got two jobs, changed around his classes and got them a house in between his job and the school. Jessica, who had been one of the friends he made at school, offered to babysit Deanna for him while he worked and they slowly got together. He was nervous to start another relationship but he needed to the company and he couldn't deny he was starting to fall for her. She was the only mother Deanna knew and Sam was planning to propose to her after he got the new job to make it official.
"Daddy?" Deanna's sleepy voice broke him from his thoughts right as he finished packing and he smiled at her rubbing her eyes with her little fists. She was only three and since she had gotten his hair, was completely adorable at the moment with it fluffed up like a cotton ball and her amber eyes so droopy.
"Hey there cupcake. Sorry we had to wake you up early. Listen daddy has to go on a trip with his brother for a while so you're gonna stay with mommy, okay?" He said and Deanna frowned.
"I want you to stay. You said we could go swimming! Don't go!" She started to cry and Sam sighed and took her from Jessica's arms kissing her hair softly as he bounced her gently.
"We'll go when I come back an we'll get ice cream afterward, okay? Sound good?" He asked and she eventually stopped crying and nodded. Sam grabbed his duffel bag and put Deanna on his hip walking out to let her meet Dean smiling a bit at the shock he knew would be on his brother's face.
"Dean, this is your niece Deanna Azrael Winchester. Deanna meet your Uncle Dean, he's real nice... most of the time." He said laughing as Dean's jaw practically hit the floor. He wished he had a camera.
"Uh, hi there Deanna." Dean said awkwardly and Deanna hid her face in Sam's shirt shyly while waving with one hand. Dean laughed and stood up walking over and taking her from Sam tickled her a bit to get her to laugh before letting her run back over to Jessica who was smiling at them.
"Be safe." She told Sam and kissed his cheek as he and Dean left.
"You have a kid! Seriously Sam! A kid!" Dean freaked once they were in the parking lot and Sam sighed rubbing his hand over his face.
"Yeah, I do, and I love her to pieces. She's one of the reasons that I can't go back into hunting Dean. Can we get on with finding Dad so I can get home to her? Also... if I'm going with you, you have to promise me we'll be back my Sunday night. I have a job interview at the local firm on Monday morning and it could be my break to get into better pay so we're not living on scraps anymore." Sam said sternly and Dean stopped.
"Sam-" He started but Sam cut him off before he could start to complain.
"Dad is probably fine and this is all for nothing Dean. Either you promise to bring me back by Sunday evening or I'm not going at all. Dad said he never wanted to see me again anyway." He said completely set on it and Dean finally nodded.
"Fine. But you're wrong about Dad. I got a phone call... here." He said opening the trunk of the impala and letting Sam toss his bag in while he started to play the message. Sam listened carefully and sighed guessing Dean was right to be a little worried.
"There's evp on that." He commented and Dean nodded seeming to relax a bit now Sam had agreed to go and was actually getting into it.
"Yeah. He was on a case and I'm thinking he might have gotten in over his head. Just come up to where he was staying with me and check things out and I'll get you back to your slice of pie by Sunday, promise." He said and Sam sighed nodding.
"Let's go." He agreed, neither one of them knowing they were being watched as they got in the car and started off to find their dad.
