Chapter 1: Back in Palo Alto

Sam and Dean are on their way to Palo Alto, California after reading about the disappearances of young mothers and their young infants. When they get there the first address they check just happens to be Sam's old apartment, "Dean I don't know if I can go in there." Sam says. "Sam, it's been 3 years." Dean tells him. "I know but I haven't been in there since... you know...Jess died." Sam replies. "Okay I'll go in alone then." Dean says starting to get out of the car. "On second thought you might need me in there with you." Sam says getting out of the passengers side. They walk up the steps, fake in hand, and knock on the door. When no answer comes they pick the lock and open the door. "Okay I'll check the basement you stay up here." Sam says. "There's a basement here?" Dean asks. Sam just rolls his eyes and makes his way down the stairs. When he gets there he realizes that the fire never destroyed the basement and begins searching for some of his and Jess' old belongings. Before long he comes across a envelope with Jess' name on it. Tucks it away in his pocket and continues searching. By the time Dean comes down he has already found pictures, old love letters and alot more. "Did you find anything Sammy?" Dean asks coming downstairs. "Yeah I did. Pictures of me and Jess, letters I wrote to her and that she wrote to me and all kinds of stuff." Sam says. "Not what I meant." Dean says. "Oh. Then nope." Sam replies.

When Sam and Dean returned to their motel room Dean went to take a shower. As soon as Sam heard the water running he pulled the envelope from his pocket and opened it up. Inside was a tiny picture that Sam could barely make out. He saw Jess' name on top and knew it was hers. Then he saw the date. Jess had gotten this thing 10 months before she died. "What you got there dude?" Dean asks looking over Sam's shoulder. "It was Jess'." Sam says. "Why would your dead girlfriend have a sonogram photo Sammy?" Dean asks. "A what?" Sam asks confused. "A sonogram photo, you know the things chicks get when they're knocked up." Dean says. Sam's eyes grow wide as he realizes what his big brother is saying. Jessica had their child 6 months before she died. So not only did Sam lose the love of his life, but he lost his child too. "I can't believe it. That must have been the big news she was trying to tell me before she moved out." Sam says as tears build up in his eyes. "I'm sorry Sammy." Dean says as he places a hand on his little brother's shoulder. Sam then realized there was another picture in the envelope. "Oh my god. It's a picture of Jess in the hospital and she's holding the baby." Sam said as fresh tears rolled down his face. Dean took the picture and flipped it over. "Jess and her baby girl." Dean read before looking at Sam. "I have a daughter. I have a little girl somewhere Dean." Sam said. "Looks like it." Dean replied.
