Summary: Dean and Sam pass through a town only to find there's more to the town than they first thought. Dean finds out some news that will change his life forever, and the boys stumble upon a case that just might change their lives even more.
Author's Note: Hey everyone…this is the first story that I've ever put on here. I've written many stories before and have put them on fiction press but this is the first one I've done on fanfiction. This is a little something I've been thinking about and just had to get it down on paper. First of all, it's AU because Dean has a daughter in this Heaven and Hell. Dean's 30, Sam is still 25.
Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural, Dean, Sam, or any other characters from the show- although I do own Gracilynn and Kayla.
"Gracilynn! Time to get up!" Kayla shouts up the stairs. Gracilynn groans and rolls over in her bed. She blearily looks at her clock and sees its 7:45 in the morning. She groans again, her fourteen year old self wanting to curl up in her covers and go back to sleep. She smirks, and then acts upon her wishes. Five minutes later, she hears her mother come up the stairs and pound on her door.
"Gracilynn! Let's go! We gotta drop the car off to get it fixed and then I gotta go to work!" Kayla shouts through the door.
"Mom, go away! Can't I just stay home?!" Gracilynn shouts back.
"No, you lost that privilege remember? " Kayla argues back.
"Mom…" Gracilynn whines.
"Don't mom me. You're the one who got in the fight. Now let's go," Kayla says sternly.
"Son of a…" Gracilynn starts.
"Gracilynn Samantha!" Kayla yells opening Gracilynn's door, seeing her still curled up in her covers.
"If you don't get up, I'm banning you from the garage," Kayla threatens. Gracilynn sits up quickly.
"What?! No! I'm up, I promise. Give me fifteen minutes tops," Gracilynn shouts, jumping out of bed and rushing to the bathroom past her mother. Kayla lets out an aggravated sigh and makes her way down the stairs.
True to Gracilynn's word, she was ready in less than fifteen minutes. She runs out to the car and hops in the front seat, sitting next to her mother. A half hour later, they are entering the restaurant, Kayla getting her things ready and Gracilynn taking a seat at the counter, unloading her backpack.
"I expect quite a bit of that work to be done young lady," Kayla says, pointing at the pile of work on the counter in front of her daughter.
"This is so stupid," Gracilynn groans out, stifling a yawn.
"You're the one who got herself suspended from school for three days," Kayla says, tapping the pile of papers, "Now get going."
Gracilynn sighs and starts on her first piece of homework, muttering about over bossy mothers, aggravating teachers, and stupid students.
Two hours later, Gracilyn hears a loud rumble of an engine in the parking lot. Instantly, her ears perk up and she looks out the window. She sees a black 1967 Chevy Impala pull into a parking spot and two men exit the front seats. Gracilynn's face lights up and puts her pencil down, walking over to the window, practically drooling at the car in the parking lot. The bells ring as the door opens and the two men walk into the restaurant. Kayla walks out as she hears the bells, noticing her daughter staring out the window.
"Gracilynn," she says warningly.
"But…But mom…it's a '67 Impala…" Gracilynn whines. The shorter man smirks and smacks the taller man, well, the ginormously taller man, in the arm while the taller one just rolls his eyes.
"I don't care if it's the damn pope, you have work to do," Kayla says. Gracilynn wrinkles her nose and turns to look at her mom.
"Who the hell wants to see the pope? Now Angus Young? Brian Johnson? Robert Plant? Jimmy Page? Now there are some people others would want to see," Gracilynn argues. The shorter man stifles a laugh and the two men sit at the counter, finding no open tables or booths.
"Butt. Chair. Homework. Now," Kayla says. Gracilynn looks longingly back at the Impala and lets out a sigh, sitting back down in her seat, pouting the whole time. The shorter man looks at the girl sitting next to him, taking in her appearance. She has light brown hair, green eyes, and a small amount of freckles on her nose and cheeks. Kayla walks over to the two men sitting next to her daughter, hands them a menu, and pulls out her pad without ever looking up.
"What can I get you boys to drink?" She asks still not looking up. The shorter man looks up and his eyes grow big.
"Ka…Kayla?" he asks. Kayla finally looks up, really looking at the guy in front of her and she almost drops her pen and pad.
"Oh my God," Kayla whispers, "Dean?"
"Uh…yeah. God, it's been…" Dean starts, not really sure how long it had been.
"Over fifteen years," Kayla supplies for him.
"Wow. Really that long?" Dean says. Kayla glances quickly at her daughter but then looks back at Dean.
"Yeah, it has," Kayla says, looking over at the guy sitting next to Dean, "Wow, is that you Sam?"
"Yeah," Sam answers.
"I remember when you weren't even five feet tall," Kayla says.
"Yeah, I know. Now look at him. He's the Jolly Green Giant himself," Dean says smirking.
Gracilynn watches the whole interaction, greatly intrigued. The two men don't look familiar to her, but then again her mom did say it had been almost sixteen years ago since she'd seen them, and she was almost fifteen, although the names did sound familiar for some reason. She takes in the two men beside her. The shorter one, who really wasn't that short, the guy next to him was just abnormally tall, had light brown hair and green eyes. She noticed some freckles on his nose and cheek and it looked like he hadn't seen the sun in months. The taller guy next to him had brown hair, hazel eyes, and contrary to the other, looked like he'd been in the sun constantly the past few months. Gracilynn jerks out of her study when she hears her mom speaking again.
"What are you two doing here?" Kayla asks.
"We were just passing through," Dean says, glancing sideways at Gracilynn.
"Oh…right," Kayla says. Gracilynn is starting to get frustrated at the lack of introductions. She clears her throat and the three look over at her.
"That your '67 Impala out there?" Gracilynn asks Dean.
"Uh…yeah," Dean answers, raising an eyebrow, "You knew what year it was? How old are you?"
"Yeah," Gracilynn says like everyone should, then, added, "I'll be fifteen in a couple months."
"Um…sorry," Kayla says, "Dean this is my daughter Gracilynn. Grace this is Dean and Sam."
"Hey," Dean and Sam say.
"Hey," Gracilynn says, eyes narrowing. Her mind wandered back a few years when she heard her mom talking to her grandma. Her grandma was arguing with Kayla about Gracilynn; they usually did. Her grandma kept blaming some guy for the way Gracilynn was acting. Kayla kept saying it wasn't his fault. Her grandma said that if Kayla had told him, he would have been there to actually be a father to her. Her mom said that she couldn't tell Dean, he had his hands full with Sam. Gracilynn's eyes grew big, that was it. She already knew her dad's last name, her mom gave her his last name when she was born, but she only ever heard his first name that one time. She feels a hand on her shoulder and she jerks out of her trance. She looks up at the three adults staring at her.
"What?" she asks.
"I've been calling you for the past five minutes," Kayla says, "You alright?" Gracilynn nods her head, but then looks at Dean. She did look an awfully lot like him.
"You're last name wouldn't happen to be Winchester would it?" Gracilynn asks. Dean's eyebrows shoot way up, Sam just stares at her, and her mom, well, her mom did drop her pen and pad this time.
"Uh…yeah. How'd you know that?" Dean asks, looking between Gracilynn and Kayla, but then his eyes fall back on to Gracilynn and he really looks at her this time. He makes the same connection and his head whips back to Kayla. "Almost fifteen?"
"Yeah," Kayla says, knowing everyone knows now. Dean looks over at Gracilynn.
"What's your name?" Dean asks. Gracilynn knows he wants her full name, not just her first.
"Gracilynn Samantha Winchester," she answers. Dean's eyes grow big and he looks back at Kayla.
"Guess I have some explaining to do," Kayla says.
"Yeah, you do," Dean says, glancing between Kayla and Gracilynn.
"Okay, basically, I got pregnant and you guys had already left. So,…" Kayla starts, but fades off.
"You could've called," Dean says.
"Yeah, I know. But then I started thinking about what you do, and your dad, and you practically raising Sam yourself. I just didn't want to add that extra burden on you. Didn't want to put that decision on you," Kayla tries to explain.
"None of that was a burden. I had a right to know Kay," Dean says, getting slightly angry.
"If I'd have told you, would you have come back?" Kayla asks. Dean looks at her.
"I…yes," Dean says, not all entirely sure.
"Really? What were you gonna tell your father? You really think he would've let you? You were fourteen Dean," Kayla counters. Dean lets out a sigh, knowing she was right.
"I would've tried," Dean says.
"I know you would've. And you wouldn't have been able to be successful with your dad. It would've just torn you apart and I couldn't do that to you," Kayla explains. Dean looks at her and lets out another sigh.
"You're right," Dean says.
"I get off at three. You two are more than welcome to come by the apartment then," Kayla says to Dean and Sam.
"Mom…" Gracilynn says, hinting at something.
"What?" Kayla asks, not sure what her daughter is getting at.
"How about they come back here at three and pick us up? They can take us to the garage to get our car? I mean if they want to," Gracilynn says.
"I'm sure they're busy," Kayla says.
"We can do that," Dean says.
"You sure?" Kayla asks.
"Yeah," Dean replies, "Besides, I think the whole reason Gracie offered was 'cause she wants to ride in my girl."
"Damn right," Gracilynn says with a smirk matching her fathers.
"Gracilynn!" Kayla says.
"What?!" Gracilynn says. Kayla lets out an aggravated sigh and takes Dean and Sam's order, putting a burger on the bill for Gracilynn at Dean's insistence.
Okay, not so sure I should even continue this story, although I have a whole plan about what is gonna happen. I know I didn't really start it off the normal way but I wanted to introduce the new characters first. I will be getting into the case soon and I know there wasn't a whole lot of Sammy in this chapter, but he will be in it more I promise. Either way, I would love to hear what you all think about it and please let me know if I should continue on with this story.
