Chapter 1

The sun was shining in through the window, as morning was telling Jo to get up. She stirred and lifted her head looking at the clock 6:47, she made a grunting noise and dropped her head back down on the pillow in a heavy way. She stretched her arms and turned on her side looking at her 3 year old baby girls blonde locks, Jo kissed her childs head and got up slowly so she wouldnt wake her daughter. She made her way over to the bathroom and decided to take a quick shower before Sage would wake. Jo stripped down to nothing and turned the hot water on, stepping in and letting the water ease her tense muscles. After conditioning her hair, she heard a cry come from what would be Sage. Jo stepped out of the shower quickly taking a big breath and wrapping a towel around her petite frame. Jo had always been skinny, almost too skinny, even after giving birth to Sage it did not take long before her shape had came back. She opened the bathroom door and saw her daughter sitting up on the bed looking confused until she saw Jo.

"Hey baby," Jo said walking over to her daughter and picking her up, Jo looked into her daughters eyes all the time and all she saw was the Winchester green eyes. Sage burried her head into Jo's shoulder as Jo started walking out of the bedroom and place her daughter in her booster seat that was attatched to a kitchen chair. Jo grabbed some cherrios and set them on the table and found a small bowl, she went to the frigde and grabbed the milk, making her daughter a bowl of cereal and placing it infront of her and giving her a small spoon. Jo walked over to a cupboard and pulled out a plastic suckie cup and filled it with orange juice. She set it down infront of her daughter as well and smiled at her little girls image of picking the cereal up with her hands, her thoughts were interupted as she heard the phone ring, Jo made her way over to the phone and spoke.

"Hello," Jo waited for a response on the other end as she was itching to put her hair up in a towel and get dressed.

"Jo Honey, what time are you bringing Sage so I can watch her tonight?" Jo heard her mothers voice and looked over at Sage who happened to be in her own 3 year old world.

"Maybe 6:45, I need to be at work by 7:00." Jo said and stood balancing her weight on one foot,

"Okay, well you would never guessed who stopped by today." Ellen said through the other line, Jo could only imagine her mothers response having to do with the Winchesters. " There in town honey, and I really think you should tell them." Ellen said to Jo.

"Mom, I have had this conversation with you before, and I don-"

"Jo, I am not having this conversation with you again. I just think now would be a good time, and I dont understand how you can be this selfish and keep something like this-"

"Mom, I will see you at 6:45." Jo said and cut her mother off hanging the phone up, she turned and saw that Sages juice had been sucked down but her cherrios were being thrown around.

"I see that your down with breakfast," Jo said going over to her daughter and lifting her out of her booster seat, Sage went into the living room and got up on the couch, Sage had a certain schedule Jo had never planed the schedule it was just the was Sage did things, for a 3 year old she knew how her day went. Jo nodded realizing what her daughter wanted, and put Dora into the dvd player. As Sage sat back and got tranced into the television. Jo turned and went back to the bathroom getting ready for the rest of her day, thinking of what her mother had said, she knew it was on a high level of her being selfish. Jo had thought so many times of just telling the Winchesters, of telling him. She had replayed the conversation over her in her head so many times it was rediculous. She got dressed quickly and brushed her hair out throwing it up in a pony tail. Jo looked at herself in the mirror, good enough, she thought. She walked into her bedroom and found a outfit for Sage it was a pair of jean shorts that had a flower design embroided onto one side, and a little sky blue shirt that had multi colored hearts printed on it. She grabbed a pair of under wear and little socks for her daughter and went out into the living room.

"Sage, its time to get dressed. Then we can go to the park, and swing." Jo said as her voice pitched up for the word swing, knowing that her daughter loved swinging. Sage got off the couch and ran over to her mother. "But first, its bathtime." Jo said picking Sage up and bringing her to the bathroom, and setting her daughter on the toilet seat as she started the luke warm water to fill the tub.

"Mommy, you get Sarrie pwease," Jo looked up from the water,

"Yes, sweet heart." Jo said and went into the living room grabbing Sage's favorite doll, she was rubber and Sage always had baths with her. When Jo came back she noticed her daughter had her shirt off and was trying to take off her own clothes, Jo smiled at the image as Sage took off her own underwear and socks.

"Look mommy, I did it," Sage said excited that she was able to take off her own clothes, Jo let out a little soft laugh.

"Aww..Good job sweetie, I am so proud of you," Jo said as she lifted her daughter and set her in the water. Jo had a special routine of watching her daughters hair so that the child soap would never get in her eyes, even though on occasion it had. Jo scrubbed her daughters head softly with Strawberry scented shampoo and took a cup filling it up with water.

"Close the peepers," Jo said as her daughter quickly snapped her eyes tightly shut and the water was dumped over the little girls head towards the back of corse, Jo knew never to just dump the water right over the childs head. Jo repeated the action two more times, to get all the soap out and then gave the sponge to her daughter. Sage liked cleaning herself, a few months back she had wanted to do it by herself, and Jo was okay with her wanting to be independent.

Jo watched as her daughter played with her doll, and looked at her features, she often did this and always had the same results, Sage looked almost exactly like Jo, except for the eyes. She had her fathers eyes, they were green and Jo loved them. Jo was interrupted out of her thoughts.

"Mommy, I cold." This was the time when Jo got her daughter out of the bathtub due to the fact, that the water had cooled down and had the affect of making any child cooler.

"Okay," Jo said lifting her daughter out of the water and wrapping her in a towel quickly with the doll included and set her down on the toilet as she leaned over the tub to drain the water out. She turned and looked at Sage and picked her up, and brought her into the bedroom and put her on the bed as Sage dropped the towl and started jumping on the bed. Jo smiled and got her daughters clothes and checked to see if her daughter was dry all the way, "Come here," Jo said as her daughter ran to her and picked up her own underwear trying her best to get them on by herself, Jo laughed a little when her daughter put both feet through one whole. She ended up dressing Sage on her own. She brushed her hair, which was a little past shoulders length.

"Lets go," Jo said after she put her shoes on Sage, and grabbed her hand as they walked out of the little house, they walked down the street and within 5 minutes they were at the park and Sage was demanding to be pushed as she got in the swing, Jo pushed her daughter softly and soon 3 hours had passed, and it was time for Sage to eat lunch and take a nap. Jo carried Sage back to the house, and made her daughter a turkey sandwich and gave her some Animal Crackers. After Jo made and ate her own sandwich, she realized her daughter had been done eating and was ready to sleep. Jo got up from the table and brought Sage in the bedroom, laying down with her as she watched her daughter fall asleep within 5 minutes. Sage had this thing with playing with her hair, she always played with her hair when she was tired and trying to fall asleep. Jo got up and went into the kitchen, doing the dishes, and then deciding to do the laundry, this was the time when Jo got house work done.

It was almost exactly 1 hour later that Sage woke up and walked out into the living room to find her toys, as Jo was finishing up with moping the tile floor.

At 6:30 Jo decided it was time to pack up Sage and bring her to her mothers house, she put Sage in the back seat in her car seat and started the car driving to the new house, that Jo was not yet comftorable in. The roadhouse had always been Jo's home, and after it burnt down, she couldnt really call her mothers new house of new bar for that fact, home. The new bar was attatched to Ellens home, and Jo did not want Sage in the bar, ever and Ellen knew that and respected the choice. Ellen herself knew though that once Sage hit a certain age she would become curious, just like Jo had. Jo arrived at her mothers house at 6:53, and realized she was going to be a little late for work. Jo pulled into the dusty dirt open pit, where the cars parked for the bar also, and looked around making sure that the Impala was no where in sight, but Jo's eyes registered over it. And she cursed mentaly, hoping they wouldnt see her.She carried Sage out of the car seat and up the steps to her mothers house, and went in as if it was her own house. When she got inside she went straight to the kitchen and put down Sage, and looked up seeing the Winchester men in her mothers kitchen chairs.

"Grammyy..." Sage screamed as she ran into the arms of Ellen, Jo looked down and bit her lip looking up at Dean and Sam as they both looked at the little girl and back at her again. Jo was pissed, how could her mother actually set this up.

"Hey guys," Jo said as if nothing was abnormal, "Havent seen you for awhile," she let out and looked over at her mother who was holding Sage and giving Jo a look that said, your trapped now and you need to tell them. Him. "Oh god, Sam I need to talk to you." Jo let out and Dean looked confused as ever and Sam stood up. And Jo walked infront of him as they both went outside and the sreen door was heard slammed by Jo from the kitchen.

"Whats wrong Jo?" Sam said looking at her confused, she looked down kicking herself inside and looking up at him.

"Do you remember when you were possessed 3 years ago, do you remember what the demon did when he was in your body?" She asked, having to bring this up was hard enough, and she couldnt believe she was actually doing this. Sam shook his head no, and Jo let out a breath knowing now she would have to tell him.

"You...um...well...not you...the demon...he raped me Sam." She said and Sam looked like he was tooken back, how are you suppose to process that information anyway. "...and uh...9 months later I gave birth to that little girl thats inside," Jo said and felt tears spring to her eyes and she knew this wasnt going to blow over good.

"Oh my...god...Jo..Why didnt you tell me?" He asked her and she just looked at him.

"I didnt want you to feel guilty for what the demon had done." Jo said and looked up at Sam who was close to tears.

"Sam, I am so sorry... I didnt know what to do-"

"No, dont. Its not your fault, at all...Its just...how can you look at me the same?" Sam asked her.

"Honestly, I cant. I know what that thing did was not you, but it was in your body and I..." She stopped talking, "I cant do this, I cant talk to you about this,"

"Jo, I am so sorry-"

"Dont, dont you dare apologize, it was not you and it is not your fault what that thing did." She said cutting off the apology. Sam nodded, he needed to listen to her.

"Whats her name?" He asked her trying to change the subject, she smiled at this. She wanted Sam to be part of her childs life, his childs life.

" Sage Lee Harvelle," Jo let out, Sam smiled at the thought of the name.

"Can I see her?" He asked, and Jo looked at him with an incredulous look.

"Of course you can, I am going to work anyway." Jo said and he nodded looking at her, "What do I do about Dean?" Jo asked looking at Sam. Sam looked at Jo, and didnt know what to tell her, he knew that Jo had always had feelings for Dean and that explaining this one was going to be hard enough for her.

"You need to tell him." Sam said and she nodded and looked down, Sam came up to her and hugged her. "Its good to see you Jo" He said and she nodded her head.

"You to Sam. Can you tell Dean to come out here." She asked Sam, he turned to go inside the house and said "Sure thing,"

Jo sat down on her mothers steps outside and waited a few moments before Dean came out side and took a seat next to her, she got that same feeling when she was around Dean. She didnt understand how it could come back so easily after 3 years of not seeing him, she smelt the musky smell of him and leather mixed and turned her head to see him looking at her.

"She's beautiful," Dean said directly to Jo, Jo smiled at him and wrapped her arms around Dean hugging him. She had never hugged Dean before, she figured he was not the hugging type but after a few seconds he hugged her back. This felt right to her, she inhaled and all she could smell was...Dean. Simple as that. She pulled away and looked at him.

"She's Sam's" Jo said and looked Dean in the eyes, hurt registered over Deans features, or at least thats what Dean thought the look was but why would that hurt Dean. It couldnt. "Dean do you remember 3 years ago, when Sam was possessed?" Jo asked Dean, she knew he would remember how could he forget, Sam shot him.

"Yeah," Dean simply let out.

"Well, while Sam was possessed by that Demon, the demon raped me in Sams body." She said and looked up at Dean, he looked shocked a little bit.

"Why didnt you tell me when you were patching me up, why didnt you ever tell Sammy that he had a kid?" Dean asked with a hint of anger in his voice.

"I didnt know how, and I didnt want Sam to feel guilty for what that thing did," Jo shot back defending herself.

"Sam wouldnt have felt that way," Dean said getting a little more furious, Jo stood up and looked down at him.

"Dean, you know he would have." She said and Dean stood up towering over her a little bit. Dean saw the sadness wash over her face and it was almost like she was going to cry.

"I didnt know what to do," She said softly and started crying, and thats when Dean realized that he was over acting, not even Sam had done this, and it was Sam's child. Dean didnt know why he was acting this way, Jo turned around and walked off to her car and Dean just stood there, not knowing what to do himself. Jo drove off in her car, and Dean kicked himself for not saying he was sorry and not giving her any comfort, he turned and went back inside the house and saw Sam trying to talk to Sage, he was in the living room with her and she was playing with a dollhouse. Dean looked at the little girl. She looked so much like Jo, but had Sam's eyes. He wasnt lying when he told Jo that her little girl was beautiful, because she was. Dean walked into the kitchen and his eyes locked with Ellen's.

"Her name is Sage."
