After breakfast Jared saw Dean off and Dean drove Hailie to school in his baby, his 1967 chevy impala. Boy, did he love his car. Hailie was pointing out all the stuff they were passing such as: trees, bushes, cars, and people. Dean loved hearing her yell. "Daddy look at that or look at this daddy, did you see that?" Dean would chuckle and look about as if they had never seen the scenery before.

"Do I have to go to school daddy? Can't I stay with you and Jared today?" Hailie asked her hazel eyes big and curious.

"No, sweetie. I have work and Jared has to go into town." Dean told her. "How about I take you to work with me monday? I think that would be okay, its way ahead of time."

"Okay!" She yelled excitedly and jumped out of the impala, her purple princess backpack bouncing along with the ponytail Jared had put into her hair.

Dean laughed and watched as her teacher came up to greet Hailie and take her inside. Dean watched for a couple minutes longer before driving off to the auto shop where he worked. His boss was under a car and he smiled getting out of his car and walking into the shop. "Hey Nick, I'm here."

"Winchester, you made a hell of a sale yesterday." Nick said to him with a grin. "I sold the car as if it were brand new."

"Yeah?" Dean smirked. "I just know my way around cars is all."

"I think I'm going to bump you up to manager around here, but don't get too good, or I will be out of a job." Nick told him going back under the car he was working on. "Got an old junker in the back from a customer today, said he wants it fixed but I told him I don't know if it could be fixed. Transmission is shot, engine is blown, radiator is smashed to hell."

"I can fix it." Dean said confidently. "Oh do you mind if I bring my daughter in on Monday? She is really looking forward to working with her daddy."

"Sure, I don't mind at all." Nick said. "Of course I'd prefer you work inside the shop of cash register duty or taking sales because of the hazards that your daughter could come in contact with."

"Yeah, I understand." Dean told him but spoke again. "My daughter does help me with cars though, so I'm thinking if I keep close enough watch she could help me out by handing me tools. She's a real pro at that kind of stuff."

Nick couldn't help but smile at the pride in Dean's voice. He really loved his daughter, that much he could tell. "Well if you think its a good idea, I won't be stopping you."

"Thanks, I'll get to work on that junker." Dean said as he walked away.

Later on in the day Jared was in a coffee shop reading the paper and drinking a mocha decaf lotte when a call came in on his cellphone, he picked it out of his pocket and his eyebrows furrowed when he didn't recognize the number. "Jared Walker." He said as he listened for who ever it was to talk.

"Mr. Walker, this is Mr. Freggle at Diamond Elementary." The man spoke.

His ears perked up and he frowned. "Oh yeah? What's up?"

"Well I have here that you are a emergency contact for Hailie Winchester?" He asked his voice laced with exhaustion and a hint of annoyance.

"That's right. Is she okay?" Jared asked now concerned that his little girl was hurt or in trouble, well it wasn't his little girl yet but he was hoping Dean would let him adopt her so they could both be her dad.

"No, actually she is being suspended." The man replied. "She got into a fight and we here don't tolerate things like that."

"I understand, but can we work something out?" Jared asked standing up and slapping money down on the table.

"You can come in and we can discuss something, but at this point I am considering expulsion." Mr. Freggle said angrily. "I'd hurry up if I were you."

"I'm on my way." Jared said and got into his car once he hung up the phone.

On his way to the school all he could wonder was what had happened and why Hailie had gotten into a fight in the first place. What would Dean think? In all fairness Jared was happy they called him instead of Dean because Dean would be tearing heads off and Jared wasn't looking forward to calming a pissed off Dean.

Jared arrived at the school and walked straight to the office, he was not happy and he didn't want to meet with this ugly bald guy that sat behind the desk in the principals office. Once he got to the office the secratary looked up and gave a smile. "How may I help you sir?"

"I'm here to see Mr. Freggle or whatever." He said flashing her his cold blue eyes.

"Oh yes..with the child." She said the word child with venom.

"Yes, that child would be my and my boyfriends little girl. Now send me in." He growled getting right in her face.

"Okay, sir." She said buzzing him in.

Jared walked into the door and Hailie ran up and grabbed his leg. "Jared!" She yelled, there were tears rolling down her flushed cheeks and she looked like she was absolutely exhausted.

Jared picked her up and hugged her. "What's wrong baby?" He cooed rubbing her back and looking at the principal with a glare.

"I didn't mean too!" She shouted almost breaking Jared's eardrum.

"Shhhsh, shhhsh." He whispered and held her tighter.

"Sir, if you would please have a seat so we can discuss Hailie?" The principal said gesturing toward a chair.

Jared sat down and looked at him. "What happened?"

"A little boy on the playground today told her that she was funny looking and she beat him up for it." The principal explained.

"Noo, thats not what happened." Hailie cried out and hugged Jared.

"Listen whether or not it happened like that or not, we will not tolerate it. She is suspended until further notice." Mr. Freggle told him.

"Now wait one fucking minute. Let Hailie tell me what happened." Jared said putting her on his lap. "Tell me baby, what happened?"

"The..the boy..he-he-he said that I was a freak." She said with fresh tears falling down her cheeks. "Said that I..I didn't have a mommy cause mommy's don't love freaks annnd that..that daddy doesn't love me caause gay guys can't..can't love their kids. He said that you didddn't really want me, and you was gonna send me away. So I hit him like daddy said to do. Daddy said if anyone ever was mean I should sttick up for myse-self." She explained through tears.

Jared glared at the principal. "You hear that? A child should never had said anything like that to my kid."

"Oh you believe that?" He asked standing up. He walked over to Hailie and kneeled down. "Your daddy was wrong, you don't stick up for yourself by beating someone up."

Jared pulled Hailie away. "Thats it we're leaving."

"Daddy is never wrong." Hailie said defiantly.

Mr. Freggle snatched Hailie out of Jared's arms and slammed her on the seat. "Don't you back talk!" He grabbed a ruler and Jared grabbed the mans wrist and slammed him into the desk. "Don't you ever threaten her!" He yelled twisting his arm and breaking it. "You'll be hearing from my lawyer."

With that said he walked out of the office with Hailie tight in his arms.
