Chapter 2:

Dean flung the bag into the trunk and slammed the lid down. He took a long look at the house they were going to take a look around. The family had moved out temporarily.

The death of the two husbands had led the whole family to move away for a while so it was empty. Dean smiled it meant that they could go in and do their job without any problems. He checked his watch Bobby was going to be late normally it was them that Bobby waited for.

Leaning against the hood of the car he checked his phone. Tess hadn't called so he assumed she was still asleep it was four in the morning.

He yawned. Sam was re reading some notes they had made the night before and no doubt texting Trinity.

A car engine caught Dean's attention Bobby's car parked in front of theirs. 'Bobby' Dean shook him by the hand. Dean regarded Bobby as a father figure and respected the man stood before him.

Sam sprang from the car.'Hey Bobby good to see you.'

'Hey Boys! Waiting long?'

They shook their heads, Bobby looked at the house then back at them both, 'So we've got to check this place out? You both in agreement it's a Wichtlein?' Dean nodded as did Sam.

'We have a problem though Bobby I mean how do we get it to show itself. None of us are women?' Bobby chuckled as Dean snorted, 'Don't want to sound funny here Sam but he'll turn up.'

'How can you be so sure Dean we don't know if just a simple exorcism will work?'

Dean patted him on the shoulder, 'He'll see you Sam and fall in love remember you are Scully the red headed woman.' Sam rolled his eyes.

'Jerk!'

'Bitch!' Dean retorted with them both smiling.

Bobby headed straight towards the house Sam and Dean trailed after him. EMF reader was out as soon as they got to the door taking a long look around Dean began to pick the lock.


The phone rang and rang Tess's hand emerged from under the covers and found the phone. 'Hello.'

Her voice was thick with sleep and her eyes fought to stay open until a familiar voice spoke.

'Tessa it's Mum sorry to wake you. Your father and I decided to pop over. We are outside your house now and we've knocked several times.'

Tess shot up in bed. 'Shit sorry Mum I didn't hear.'

Her mum tsked, 'Sorry about that word too. I'll be right down.' She slammed the receiver down and grabbed her dressing gown.

What the hell? 'Popped over' she thought 'My arse' she muttered as she raced down the stairs to the front door and unlocked it.

'Mum, Dad sorry I had a long day at work. I was hoping for a lie in.' She opened the door to allow them past. She hugged her Dad then her Mum. She rubbed her eyes and stared at them both. 'So what are you doing here?' She tried to sound pleased that they were there.

Her mum stared at her. No doubt she was checking to see that she was eating and not losing weight.

'We decided to come and see you. Not a bad time other than you sleeping in?' Tess shook her head. 'Well if you want a shower I'll fix you something to eat.' She headed straight for the kitchen. Tess snorted as her Dad rolled his eyes.

'You ok Dad?'

She stared at him as he sat down on the couch. Leaning back and staring at his youngest child he nodded and said, 'Yeah I'm good Tess.' She sat down next to him. 'Your mother decided to come and see you. You know what she's like for surprises.'

He smiled as she laughed. 'I said it was too early.' Since her parents had retired her Dad wasn't exactly hen pecked he just went with the flow. He was always known to be the laid back parent.

'Never mind Dad. I just had a busy week.' He smiled. She heard her mother moving around in the kitchen.

'So where's the infamous Dean?' Her mother shouted to her from the kitchen. Tess froze her mind quickly whirring.

'He's away on business. He left yesterday and I'm not sure when he'll be back. He's hoping to be back maybe tomorrow evening or the day after.'

She hoped her mum would drop it. They hadn't met Dean yet and part her was happy about that. Not because of Dean or him being a disappointment to her or what her parents would think about him that didn't bother her.

It was the fact that she wasn't sure if Dean could cope with a full on family experience. Not that they had ever discussed it properly there was never any time. 'Place it at the top of your list.' She thought to herself for when he got back.

'Oh we were hoping to meet him finally!' She came into the room and stood looking at her daughter, 'you look a little thin you sure your eating?' Tess snorted and looked at her Dad he smiled back.

'Yes Mum I eat regular meals. With two men around one who eats large meals I do get a lot of food down me. You've always known that I've loved my food.' Her Dad nodded.

Tess had always been a big eater. 'Dean and Sam work all over the place. It just happens they are away. You'll meet him I'm sure.'

Her mother stared at her, 'Well we are going to be in town for a few days so maybe when he gets back.' Before Tess could say anything she carried on about her weight, 'Well it must be other activities then?' Tess blushed. Her mother always knew how to alter the tone.

'I'm going to get a shower.'

She hurried up the stairs feeling embarrassed and really wishing her mother wouldn't say such personal things. Dean loved her shape. Sex wasn't the reason at all.

Stepping into the shower she hoped that they wouldn't be there when he got home.
