Ok guys this is my seventh story in the Dean, Tess series after Everything. I had left it at a horrid place so I thought it would be best if I carried on because who wanted everything left like that?
Hope you enjoy. Like Everything I named the story after a Lifehouse song "Somewhere In Between" so if you want you can listen to it and get an idea about why I chose the song to go along with the story.
As ever I don't own Dean and Sam or any of the characters I just loan them from Eric Kripke.
Reviews are love people so I'd love some lol :D ENJOY!
Chapter 1:
A soft humming came from the television set. It was on standby and the sound was off but it still was loud in the near silence of the house.
She could hear her son's breathing as he slept near her on the sofa. Caressing his hair absentmindedly she stared at the blank screen.
He'd been asleep for an hour and she daren't move just in case he woke up and she couldn't do a thing with him. He'd not been sleeping well and she wasn't surprised.
Some nights neither could she. Sometimes she'd pace or pretend to read but mostly she would watch the night sky as it passed from deepest black to light sunshine.
Staring out of the window she watched leaves fall from the trees and float serenely down to the ground.
Reds, yellow and orange leaves each time the wind blew clung tightly to the bare tree branch. She'd been watching the leaves fall and realised she'd been there so long staring at them that the entire tree was already bare. She thought it was such a futile attempt for the leaf to cling so tightly when it should have known that its life span was limited.
It had been a week since she had been at home with Dean. She missed him, really missed him. It was now an almost physical pain and she suddenly realised that it had gotten too much. Taking a deep breath she felt John stir against her. Sitting up she pulled him with her and held him close. Each time she looked at him those eyes were so green they reminded her of Dean's.
Hating herself each time he called she'd ignored it but she read and listened to his texts and voicemails he'd left. He told her that he had hired two new mechanics at the garage and he thought he'd let her know. Mostly he just said he was sorry and he loved her.
'You ok baby?' John nodded, 'do you want a drink?'
'Yes pwease.' Picking him up she carried him into the kitchen just as the door opened and her Mum came in. She had been shopping for groceries and she had left well before Tess had gotten up and dressed.
'Hey.' Her Mum started. She had been in her own world as she pushed the door with her shoulder and backed into the room.
'I thought you were going back home today?' She dumped the carrier bags onto the table and kissed John on the cheek smiling as he chuckled. Swinging his legs she tickled them laughing along with him as he giggled loudly.
Rolling her eyes Tess tsked loudly as she answered her mother, 'Oh thanks. It's nice to know you are wanted by your own parents.' Giving John his drink she popped him into his high chair, 'Look I'm sorry I'm still here.'
Her mother stood with her hands on her hips in the centre of the kitchen her grey hair was short and tidy and her glasses perched on her nose showing the severity in her brown eyes as she shook her head, 'No Tess you aren't sorry. You need to talk to Dean properly. He's called you and he's text you. I am sure he's said he's sorry numerous times. The only person who is stopping the pair of you from being together is you.'
Tess had stood with her hands clasped to the back of the kitchen chair. Her hands tightened as she realised her Mum was absolutely right and tears sprang to her eyes, 'You are right as usual.' Sitting at the table she wiped her eyes, 'God I've made such a mess of things.'
Her mother stroked her hair, 'Just talk to him. Your father and I had times like this when we were engaged and in our early married years.' Tess looked into her mother's brown eyes, 'We argued over something pathetic and I stayed at home. I ignored his calls and him coming over until finally the pain became unbearable.'
Tess knew exactly what she was hinting at. Dean really was her everything he was the reason behind all of her actions and how he made her feel safe and loved just by a single word or a look and being apart from that security hurt.
The reason she had left was simply because he'd not believed her with the angel and vampire situation. Although he agreed with her when she had said that she hadn't asked for their intervention his eyes said that he wasn't convinced so she'd left. She really didn't know what made her go but she grabbed her bags.
She sighed and wiped her face repeating, 'Dean thought I was lying.' The words sobbed out of her mouth, 'I mean as if I would lie to him.'
'Shush shush.' Her mum pulled her into hug and felt her daughter sob against her. 'You should be calm it's not doing you any good. Plus you haven't been to see the doctor like I told you too. Tessa you are having a baby it's not good to be stressed.'
Pulling away from the warm hug Tess looked deep into her mother's eyes, 'I'm having twins.'
Her mother's face showed confusion as she took in the news, 'How do you know?'
'I've just had it confirmed well not by a doctor but kind of reliable sources.' Her mum pulled the face that said loud and clear, "I don't want to know if it's anything supernatural."
'Baby that is wonderful news. Don't you think you should be sharing this joy with your husband?'
Tess nodded, 'Look what time is it?'
'Four. Why?'
'I'm going to see Dean. You are right. We need to talk and God I miss him.'
Grabbing her purse and her car keys she smiled at her Mum and headed out.
Closing the door behind him and kicking off his boots shrugging off his jacket he flopped down on the bed. Everyday Dean was the first one in the garage and the last one to leave. He'd hired another mechanic called Billy and a college student called Max. She was working on her diploma and needed some cash and Dean had offered her some shifts.
Checking his phone he sighed when the picture of Tess and John appeared. She'd not replied to any of his calls or messages and he missed her so much.
Tossing the phone onto the side table he closed his eyes. He'd not slept properly for five days or was it longer he'd lost count. Now he really was regretting it because his body ached. 'Dean,' he sighed, 'you are getting too old for going without sleep.' He sighed again as he closed his eyes.
'I wouldn't say too old for the working part but definitely going without sleep.' He started. Sitting up he looked around the room.
'I seriously hope this isn't another out of body experience and I'm dreaming.'
'You aren't dreaming.'
She stepped out of the door way. She was wearing dark blue jeans and a red tee shirt her eyes looked tired but still shockingly beautiful with their large thick eye lashes framing them perfectly.
Looking at her she smiled shyly as she moved towards him, 'I'm sorry. I've been driving around for hours trying to figure out what to say because whatever I thought of just didn't cut. I mean what can I say other than those words and it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. I'm so sorry. '
She could smell his aftershave although he looked like he hadn't shaved for a few days. 'I should have stayed at home I mean it was my pride and my damn hormones that made me stay away. I am so sorry for running away.'
She could feel the tears begin to run down her face and she dashed them away quickly with the back of her hand. He looked so beautiful standing there with a checked shirt on, kaki coloured tee shirt and blue jeans. His big green eyes looked soulful as he took her in from the bed.
Standing up Dean closed the space between them shaking his head as he did so, 'I'm the reason we fell out and I pushed you away. I'm sorry it shouldn't be you apologising I should of realised you were telling the truth. I guess...' he trailed off as he thought of how to word it running a hand through his hair he said, 'If I have someone close to me they tend to give themselves or apart of themselves to others to try and save me. I didn't know what had happened I just saw red.'
Tess realised what Dean meant. Everyone he loved had offered themselves up for a deal and never come back he wasn't sure or hadn't been sure if the angels were completely legit.
His arms were around her in a second. His lips pressed against hers and she sighed. Giving into Dean was so easy. She could feel the dampness spread between her legs.
He cupped a breast softly caressing the nub between forefinger and thumb. They erected instantly until they were hard and they peaked visibly through her shirt.
Kissing her again she caressed his face feeling the coarseness of his stubble against her hand.
He pushed at her shirt rolling it over her head. She smiled as the cool air caressed her body making goose bumps erupt and course across her body. He wrapped his arms around her and she stared into his deep green eyes as his lips parted slightly with desire. She slowly rubbed her hand down his cock making him groan slightly.
His breath caressed her breasts as he undid her bra watching it drop to the floor before taking a nipple in her mouth. He softly sucked and teased it with his tongue.
Groaning against him she sighed as their lips moved in sync. Pulling at the hem of his shirt they tugged at it until it dragged over his head. Pressing her hand to his heart she smiled up into his eyes pushing him back towards the bed.
Pulling at her jeans she noticed Dean doing the same. As he unbuckled his own and slid them down his cock sprang free from the confines of the denim.
Straddling him she inhaled as he guided himself inside of her his hands softly caressing her waist as he helped her lower her body down. His hard length rubbed against her clit making her sigh and groan against him.
She tightened around him instantly but with the pleasure came slight pain. She ignored it only thinking that whatever came with making up to Dean was worth it.
The pain was definitely worth it, the utter guilt she felt at leaving and running away from him was nothing like the discomfort of having Dean inside of her filling her completely.
Slowly she began to ride him her hands pressing down on his chest. His big green eyes stared up into her blue ones showing absolute trust and love.
His throat was thrown back against the pillow and it was so exposed and a gleam of sweat shone brightly on his body.
Kissing and licking the sweat she tasted him savouring the deliciousness of his flesh.
Their bodies moved in time she groaned as the familiar feeling of her orgasm begin to creep boldly across all of her nerve endings.
Moaning Dean's name she felt her orgasm rolling like thunder from her body shuddering against Dean she rode on the heady waves watching Dean as he came shortly after spurting warmly inside of her.
He pulled her down towards her kissing her softly feeling the perspiration on her forehead as she leant against his chest.
She could hear Dean's heart beating fast against his rib cage as she leant her head there. Their breathing was ragged as they lay still, their legs entwined with one another.
Dean spoke first, 'You ok?' she nodded. Her hair was soft and tickled his chest.
She sighed as she tilted her head to look at him. His freckles spattered across his nose and his large green eyes framed with large dark eyelashes. His eyes were closed slightly and a smile was plastered across his lips.
'I am still so sorry Dean.' She wiped her eyes feeling his hand caressing her hair as she spoke.
'Look that is all in the past baby. I am more to blame than you so let's move on from this ok?' Tilting her chin to make her look deep into his eyes, 'Tessa Winchester I love you so much and I never meant to say what I did. I never meant to sound as though I didn't believe you I just couldn't understand it.'
She nodded, 'I won't get involved with your work again if I get a feeling about anything you will be the first person I get in contact with no one else I promise.'
Pulling her tighter to his chest he whispered in her ear, 'You did all of it for the right reasons and I wasn't really angry at you I just didn't know how to react but like I said it's all in the past. We don't have to worry now I have you back and I don't want anything like that to happen again.'
She nodded again as she caressed his chest softly kissing him as she did so.
'I love you Dean so much.'
He smiled as he softly stroked her back making her shiver against him, 'I love you too.'
Snuggling against his body she closed her eyes feeling him close she felt safe. He sighed taking in the delicious scent of her perfume and shampoo. He never wanted to lose her again.
The week without her body next to his had been awful he felt like he had lost a part of himself.
She was his conscience he always knew that she was his everything but losing her made him realise again how important she was.
Closing his eyes and then opening them again just to check she was still there he smiled when she shifted against him just as if she knew he was worried about her not being there when he woke up. He settled into the pillows and drifted off to sleep.
