A Different Life

Part two

The look on Amelia's face was hilarious. Dean had traveled all the way to Michigan to get Claire and when Amelia had opened the door she just took one look at Dean and then to the old man standing behind him and fainted dead away. After a long talk and Dean being there when Claire was released from school, in which she had taken one look and bolted to him and nearly made Dean fall as she jumped and wrapped her entire body around him…crying the entire time about how she knew he wasn't dead and she knew that one day he would be coming for her.

Dean was also pissed when Claire told her that Jimmy had stood in front of the house and told her that he wasn't her father anymore and that was the last time she saw him.

Amelia had argued that Claire should stay with her, but Dean told her no. that he wanted her with him. She was his daughter after all and Amelia had no rights to her. Amelia agreed although grudgingly.

When Claire had all her stuff packed Dean helped Bobby get it into the car. Claire hugged Amelia and told her that she would visit when she could. Amelia had tears in her eyes as she watched them leave.

Bobby had told Sam that Dean was alive and well and the younger Winchester was on his way to Bobby's house for the meeting. They had stopped to stay in a motel, which Claire was excited, she loved family outings and this was as close to one as they had.

That night after Dean had tucked Claire in the bed and had laid down in the other he just laid there watching as his daughter slept. He hugged the pillow that was off to the right and wished that Jimmy was here with him. He fell asleep, dreaming of a time when he had Jimmy with him.

The next time he woke up he was jolted from a nightmare. But he also sensed someone was in the room with them. He looked to Claire and breathed easy when he saw she was still sleeping peacefully, but when he looked over the other side he saw Jimmy…well Castiel, who was now looking over at Claire like she was some puzzle piece that he hadn't figured out what to do with. He looked over to Dean and saw the sad look on his face.

"What were you dreaming about?" the angel asked looking Dean straight in the eyes, making the green eye man to squint at him.

Dean ignored the question and got mad at the angel. "Tell me do all you angels just sit and watch people sleeping? Does that get you off?" of course the angel ignored that. Dean watched as the angel went back to staring at Claire.

"Hey stop staring at my daughter you freak." Dean said rising out of the bed to put himself in the middle.

"I will not harm her, Jimmy has great affection for this child and I would never hurt her. I promised him that I would protect her in his absent." Castiel said in a very emotionless way that crawled all over Dean nerves.

"And I told you to stop staring." Dean said and the angel walked back a couple of steps making Dean breath a lot better.

"So what are you doing here? I thought you were finished with me. If you want another thank you for getting me out of hell then we have already talked about that." Dean said sitting down on the bed next to where Claire was sleeping. He was amazed that with all the talking the girl didn't even stir, but she could and had slept threw a tornado.

"Dean your job is not finished, I will need you to witness something and it will not be pleasant." Castiel said as he reached out to touch Dean's forehead. He was confused when Dean jerked away.

"I am not going anywhere with you, so you can just forget about it." Dean said getting away from the angel. He was about to pick up Claire and run, but the angel flew away and Dean slumped in relief. He laid down next Claire and almost fell back to sleep when he felt something poke him in the side.

Looking up he saw an officer standing behind the bench and rose up only to find Claire slumped over on the other side and cursed the angel in his mind and hoping the angel was listening in.

He nodded to the officer and woke Claire up and they both looked around. Claire looked freaked out when she woke and found herself sitting on a bus stop bench, she looked over and saw that her daddy was looking around as well.

"Daddy, where are we?" she asked in a small voice. Dean looked at her and knew she was getting scared at not knowing what was going on.

"I don't know baby, but we better get to a store and get some clothes for you." Dean said as he stood and held out his hand for her to take.

It was a good thing that he still had his clothes on and had all his money that Bobby had given him to buy Claire some cloth at the second hand store.

When Claire was ready they went to a small diner and he help Claire sit on one of the high chairs at the counter. All the tables were full and Dean casually ordered some food for Claire and then he glanced over at the man who was reading the paper. Looking at the paper Dean's eyes widened when he saw the date. Good lord where or when the hell was he.

Claire didn't notice anything as she was eating, but she did turn when she heard her daddy's last name being hollered out. She and Dean both turned when that happened and Dean whipped around at her when another man turned and started talking to the man that had hollered out the Winchester name.

Dean gave her a wave for her to finish eating and turned to talk to the man that was now just sitting there drinking his coffee. After Dean very awkward conversation, he and Claire walked out behind the man as he left.

Claire looked up at her daddy. "Daddy what is going on? Is that man family? He did have your last name…is he a cousin of yours?"

Dean didn't know how to answer that. But in the corner of his eyes he saw Castiel standing behind one of the building waving at him. Directing Claire to go play at the park that was across the road, and after watching to make sure she got over there safe he turned but stopped quickly when the angel was right next to him.

"Okay asshole, what the hell?" Dean said irate. He didn't like not knowing what was up, especially since he had Claire with him.

"Time is fluid Dean; sometimes we can go back and watch advents that had taken place." Castiel said in that cryptic way that had Dean wanting to punch him.

"Okay…whatever the hell that means, what I want to know is why bring me back. I can't change anything. And why the hell did you bring Claire here with me?" Dean asked.

"I knew that if I had brought you here and left Claire behind, both you and Jimmy would be upset and I will not have my vessel upset." Castiel said in return. That gave Dean a thought was Jimmy still in there? And he wondered if Jimmy could fight the angel to get control of his body back. He was still thinking when Castiel started talking again, snapping him out of where ever he was inside his own mind.

"That man was John Winchester, before he married your mother. Follow him and then you will see what it was your father was hiding." Castiel said and then disappeared. Dean blew a breath out and tried his best to calm down.

Dean walked across the street to get Claire when he spotted a blonde woman standing alongside Claire talking to her. Racing over fearing the worst he stood in front of both girls and gave the blonde a long hard stare. It was a little scary when the woman gave him one of her own back.

"Hey daddy, this is Mary Campbell. She was just standing around watching when she noticed I was alone." Claire said as she looked over at her daddy.

Dean nodded and smiled a little at his daughter. Then looked over at the woman and that was when it hit him, his father had once told him that his mother's maiden name was Campbell and he stood in shock as his daughter was swinging back and forth talking to the woman that would have been her grandmother had she lived.

"Nice to meet you, yeah I was talking business and didn't want Claire to be bored." Dean said with a smile as he looked at the woman that would be his mother. "Thanks for watching out for her."

Mary smiled and looked over and saw John walking to her. She looked again at Dean. "It was not a problem. She is adorable. You and your wife must be very proud, if you will excuse me I have someone meeting me here and I just saw him." Mary finished with a smile and a wave to Claire she was off and Dean watched as his future mother and father walking off.

"That was weird daddy. Her last name was Campbell. Grandpa told me that Nana's name was Campbell." Claire said as she stood up from the swing to come over to Dean.

"I am going to hell... again." Dean mumbled as he watched Mary and John walk off and disappeared. He looked down and was pleased when Claire hadn't heard that, he smiled at his daughter and walked out of the playground. His intent was to follow John Winchester and hopefully get back to where they belonged.

He hoped that it would be soon…
