This was written for my friend's b-day, which is coming up very soon, the story is practically finished so the more reviews the faster I'll post a new chapter. If you honour me with your review, please be honest and tell me that I'm a bad writer or that you like it, either way I respect your critisism.
I work with music too, and the song I chose as Sam and Julie's anthem is La Vie en Rose by Edith Piaf (not Louis Armstrong)
Chapter 1: Hunter's wives.
'No Lena stop it you're not going to leave him, you know that.'
'Julie, hang up the phone!' Sam yelled to his beloved girl.
'Okay Lena got to go, Sam just walked in. Just remember you love Dean and he loves you, you're just both hot headed!'
Julie hung up on her best friend and ran out of the kitchen to the love of her life, Sam Winchester. They had ran into each other while the brothers were on a hunt in St-Léonard, some evil demon had almost taken her life away but Sam had saved the day.
'I am so glad your home!' Julie jumped in his arms but then rapidly took a step back again and hit him in the gut.
'You could have called!' she said now angrily. She wasn't the kind of girl that wanted to check up on her fiancé every five minutes but after a few days she always started to get anxious.
'I am sorry hunny, it's just we ran into some trouble like usual and my cell had no bars.' Sam said with a smile on his face. He loved his girl getting ferociously protective from time to time.
'That's fine just remember our deal.' She said, without any word she turned around to the kitchen, she was going to prepare a home cooked meal for her man.
'Julz, don't okay. I am sorry, it will not happen again but I can't agree on your terms.'
She stopped dead in her track, though she did expect some upheaval on the subject.
'Sam, we talked about this. Next time you'd forget to call I would come with you. That way no one has to worry. So that's how it's going to be, you forgot, I go with.'
'No Julz, don't okay, it has been a long week and I didn't forget, we were out of reach. I would never forget to call you. Don't you think that every day I think of you and that hearing your voice would be the highlight? Instead I am stuck in some forest with Dean, whining about his relationship troubles. But as it may, I can't have you there, I can't have you in a place where you might get hurt. Look I promise I'll take you with sometime when I know it'll be a walk in the park okay.'
Julie looked into those puppy eyes and knew he was too tired to argue so she could easily get him to agree but she didn't want to win the battle this way, she now looked at him and her heart broke, he had seen some gruesome things over the week, he'd never talk about it but she knew that the horror he saw pained him in the night and she could see it in his eyes that right now he didn't wanted to be the tough hunter, the kick ass baby brother or the perfect fiancé, right now he just wanted to be loved and taken care of by her and only her.
'Fine I'll drop it for now, now let me draw you a bath.' She said with the most loving smile on her face as she grabbed his hand, and led him upstairs.
'Have I told you how much I love you lately?'
'Not for a whole week,' Julie teased.
'I love you more than life itself, you know that right?'
'Else I wouldn't be marrying you hunny.'
Without anymore words they walked up the stairs and as Julie turned on the tabs, she turned around and helped Sam get out of his layers. She took his white dirty shirt and lifted it over his head. She saw the old scars and a bullet wound, but she also saw some new bruises and instead of grilling him about what had happened over the week, she lifted her hand and traced the bruises on his body, she stopped resting her hand on his abdomen. She looked up and saw the apologizing eyes of her warrior. She didn't care about the bruises, as long as he came home in one piece. He leaned in and kissed the forgiving lips of his love, he took her shirt and lifted in over her head, he took her glasses and put them carefully on the bathroom cupboard, before kissing her violently on the lips and pulling her closer.
'God I missed you,' he groaned.

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ça me fait quelque chose
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est lui pour moi
Moi pour lui dans la vie
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré
Pour la vie
Et dès que je l'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat
Sam was leaning against her in the bathtub, while she massaged the shampoo in his hair. They had sat there for a moment in silence. Sam needed to think things over, he had to process what had happened and though he wouldn't share the details with his girl, he still felt comforted by her presence. Plus it was nice to let the warm water relax his muscles and loosen the knots in his back.
'So you talked to Dean about Lena?' Julie asked apprehensively, trying to bring Sam back from the supernatural world to their own world.
'Oh God, he just can't shut up about the hole thing.'
'So what do you think? You think she's right? Did he cheat on her?'
'What? No! Absolutely not! Is that what she said? Is that what she's thinking?'
'Yeah, what did you hear? I just got off the phone with her and she suspects him of cheating, supposedly some girl, Allie, called and asked for him. She said, and I quote: "she sounded perky!".'
'Oh my God, are you serious, that's the reason? According to Dean, she was irritable when we last called home. She hardly said a word. He wouldn't quit whining about it.'
'So did he? Did he cheat?' Julie asked in a scared voice, she knew she would get caught in the crossfire between her best friend and her soon to be brother-in-law.
'No, no of course not! He loves her more than anything. Seriously, I have never heard him bitch like that about any woman, he would just pack up and leave but not with her.'
'So bitching is a sign of love?' Julie asked.
'Well, it is with Dean. For him bitching about someone means caring about someone, if he didn't he wouldn't bother.'
'Interesting theory, how come I never bitch about you?'
Sam turned his head, facing her. Looking into her eyes he said that he loved her so much and Julie happily leaned in and kissed him.
'So who was the girl? You know her?' she asked, curiously.
'Just a girl we helped a couple of months ago, I am guessing she just wanted to check up on how Dean was doing, or just say thank you or something. I bet it's nothing.'
Julie sighed in relief. Not that she didn't trust her soon to be brother-in-law but still, the man came with a reputation and she wouldn't have liked to pick up the pieces when he left. She knew Lena well and knew that if Dean left her it would devastate her. Both were hot-headed and unbelievably stubborn, they clashed on a regular basis but managed to patch things up as passionately as they fought.
'So how was the rest of your week?' Sam asked, he wanted to be distracted by normal trivial things so he could get back into the routine of his life with Julie.
'Nothing much, I worked a lot so I wouldn't have you constantly on my mind, to no avail of course, Christina, Katie and Lena came over to dinner, we had a real ladies' night, we got totally plastered and laughed the whole night.'
'Yeah I bet you did.' Sam liked hearing that Julz had such good friends, he was often worried when he went away, he didn't want her to feel lonely. But every time he came home again she would have a new Katie-Chris-Lena story and he loved them. And to his own surprise he really loved her friends and more importantly their hubbies Katie's Chris, Andy and of course his own brother. When they were all home at the same time, which happened maybe once every 4-5 months they would take out the tents and camping gear and they would depart as soon as possible, some would ditch work just for the week to spent time with their close but strange little group of friends. Only problem was that Andy had repeatedly asked the brothers to go hunting with them, both Dean and Sam had been furious at Julie and Lena for telling but they didn't really care. They knew their friends and knew who could be trusted, and the four of them are more reliable than the punctuality of trains in Japan. Dean and Sam came to terms with it and eventually did see that their girls had been right from the start, plus it has been easier since, now they didn't have secrets for each other, and it made their friendships a lot more natural. Dean had wanted Andy to come, Dean was very small and tiny compared to Andy. Andy was a big guy with a gigantic heart. But Sam was reluctant, though Andy had his size on his side, he didn't have the knowledge, so hitherto he hadn't been on a hunt yet. As a way of compromise Dean had been so kind to fill him in every time they came back and Andy had enjoyed their stories so he had been doing some research on the side, scouring the internet and even the library. Chris had found it funny but when she let her guard down with the girls she admitted that she didn't like the idea of Andy going hunting with the brothers.
Just last week when they were drinking Chris came clean and told Julie and Lena that she didn't envy them and that she didn't understand how they did it, seeing the men leave every time and constantly wondering where they are and how they are. But Julie and Lena had come to terms with being hunter's wives.
