Chapter 2

2001

Emma and her brothers have been following up on a lead on their father in Portland, Oregon.

She has been secretly seeing an older guy, Neal Cassidy, behind her brothers' backs. She is 17 and he is 23, if Sam or Dean were to find out, he would be dead, so would she, and she knew that.

"Emma! I need you to do something for me! It's really important."

"What is it?"

He sighed. "A few years back, I stole some watches, I have them hidden in a locker, I need to to get them for me!"

"What? I can't Neal! My brothers will kill me if I get caught up in this sort of thing!" She told him.

"Em, I love you. If you do this for me, we can fence the watches. Do you know how much money we would get? We can run away together, be happy!"

She shook her head. "I can't leave my brothers! I told you, we're only here because we're looking for my dad." She sighed. "I'll do it, but when we get the watches, you have to give them back, return them, anonymously. Do you promise?"

"Of course baby, I love you! Thank you." He said and kissed her passionately.

"We can just keep one, here," he said putting one of the watches on her. "For you, meet me at the rendezvous point in an hour."

She nodded. "Fine, but you have to send the rest back to the owner."

"I know babe, anything for you."

XXX

"Come on Neal. Where are you?" She said to herself, after her boyfriends phone going to voicemail for the 4th time.

"Probably halfway to Canada by now." She turned around and was greeted by an officer pointing a gun at her. "Hands above your head." She obliged. "Give me the watch." She slowly lowered her arms and handed him the watch.

"I can't believe it." She said to herself.

"Your boyfriend called in a tip, told us to look at the surveillance tape, and gave us this address." Emma stayed silent. "Do you know your rights?" He asked her.

"Yeah…" He cuffed her.

"Good girl, let's go."

XXX

"Can I make my phone call?" She asked the officer after arriving at the police station.

"Yeah, go ahead." He said handing her a phone, she decided to call Sam.

"Sammy..."

"Em? Where the hell are you? We've been looking for you all night!"

"I did something stupid Sam." She said fighting back the tears.

"Where are you Emma?"

"The police station Sam… I can't just get out of this Sam."

"We're on our way, and we're bringing Uncle Bobby."

"Okay, I'll see you soon I guess… I'm sorry Sam."

He sighed. "Just explain when we get there, okay? And don't say anything until we get there."

"Alright."

Sam ends the call.

"Are your parents on their way?" He asked her.

"My brother's."

XXX

"What?!" Her brothers and uncle all said in unison. "What the hell Emma? What was his name?" Dean asked her.

"Not happening Dean. Why should I tell you his name? So you can hunt him down and kill him? Don't think so. He may be an ass, a liar, and a coward, but he doesn't deserve death."

"Idjits." Bobby sighed.

Sam looked at his sister. "How old is he Emma?" Emma looked down. "Emma, answer me."

"He's not much older." She mumbled.

"Emma, how old was the bastard?!" Dean asked loudly.

She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "Tw-twenty three." She admitted.

"You're all a bunch of idjits! Why did you even do it for him?"

"At first I said no, but then I agreed to do it if he's give them back to the owner anonymously, then he convinced me to keep one and I did."

"And you believed he'd actually go along with your little plan?" Dean asked her.

She wiped her tears before they had a chance to fall. "I-I thought he loved me." She sighed. "But I was wrong."

XXX

"She's gonna be in for 11 months?" Sam asked his brother. "But the bastard framed her!"

Dean sighed. "Sammy, everyone knows it, but there isn't any proof." He let out a frustrated sigh. "And she refuses to run."

"She's punishing herself, that's the only reason she would do it." Sam said sighing.

"Punishing herself? For what? She's a kid, he manipulated her."

Sam knows his sister, she blames herself. "She blames herself for trusting him Dean. He broke her heart, she's in pain."

"I swear to God, I'm gonna figure out who this son of a bitch is and kill him."

Sam sighed. "I'm putting Stanford off, I can't go, Emma needs me."

"No! You want her to blame herself for that too?" Dean asked his little brother.

"Well no, but she needs us both."

Dean groaned. "She'll have both of us Sammy, we will both visit her as much as possible."

2 Months Later

Emma sat in her cell dumbstruck, holding a pregnancy test, they only slept together twice and both times it was at least a month before her arrest.

Her cell block guard- Loretta, probably the nicest guard there- walked into her cell with a package.

"You have a package, I have to open it in front of you, sorry, those are the rules." She ripped it open. "You got some car keys." She knew that key chain, it was the one that Neal stole for her. "And looks like it comes with a note." Loretta pulled the not out of the yellow package. "It just says 'I'm sorry', it's not signed."

"Thanks." Emma mumbles.

"And congratulations by the way." Emma doesn't say anything and the guard leaves.

Emma sighed. "Damn it, I can't be a mother." She's glad Dean's preoccupied with the angel case- he shouldn't be back for a while- and she's glad that Sam is busy with school. 'Hopefully they won't visit for another 6 months.' She thought.

6 Months Later

Emma screamed at yet another contraction. "Big breath Emma, big breath. Now push!"

"I can't, I can't, I need my brothers. I can't do this alone!" She cried.

"You can Emma, and you will, now push!" She screamed, pushing as hard a she could, then heard cries. "It's a boy Emma." She turned away. "Emma?" She just shook her head, while a nurse whispered something in the doctors ear. "Emma, just so ya know, you can change your mind."

"No," she cried. "I can't be a mother." The doctor took the baby out of the room and Emma cried as discreetly as she could, in attempt to stay strong as her father once told her.

XXX

A few weeks later, her brother came to visit her, knowing nothing about the pregnancy.

"Dean!" She said and hugged him quickly, before the guard could protest. "I've missed you."

He smiled. "We've missed you too." Dean told her.

"Where's Sammy? How is he? How's college?"

Dean smiled. "He's at school, he met someone, her name's Jessica."

"I'm happy for him." She said with a smile. "I have to tell you something." She blurted out.

"Okay…".

She sighed. "I was… I had a baby, but I-I gave him up for adoption." She said trying not to cry. "The kid deserves a normal life, one that we could never give him." She said looking anywhere but at her brother.

"Em, it was the right thing, the responsible thing to do, I'm proud of you. You almost sound more mature than me." Dean joked.

She rolled her eyes. "I've been more mature than you since I was 12." She shot back jokingly, but at the same time seriously.

"I still want a last name Em."

Her head snapped up. "You don't even have a first name! Do you?"

"Neal," Dean smirked. "How did you word it exactly? 'Neal is just sooo dreamy, he may be older, but I'm definitely mature enough', he's all you wrote about for a straight week."

Her eyes widened. "You read my diary?!" She yelled, until she noticed everybody staring at her. She smiled sheepishly and lowered her voice. "You read my diary?" She asked more calmly.

"Come on Em, there wasn't even a lock." He defended.

Emma scoffed. "Like that would've stopped you." He smirked. "How much did you read?"

"Enough to know that you're the one that told dad about me inviting Amanda Heckerling over to the motel when you were in 8th grade." He shook his head. "I was grounded for 2 weeks after that."

Emma rolled her eyes. "I was 13 and it scarred me, it was gross." Emma shook her head in disgust.

"You can't blame me Em, I'm just a ladies man. Always have been, always will be" He said with his signature smirk.

"God, you're insufferable." She sighed. "Have you guys got anymore leads?" She asked referring to their father's disappearance.

"Em, it's been almost-"

"I know Dean! I know, I just… I miss him." She sighed.

Dean sighed. "We miss him too, but we've only had one lead since your arrest." He said. "I found his journal last month." He smiled "He's alive Em, the motel room wasn't even cleaned out when I found it."

She smiled. "He's not dead? He's really alive?"

3 Months Later (2002)

Loretta handed Emma a bag full of her belongings. "Here you go Emma, I think it's time you start over. You're a good kid." She said smiling.

"Thanks Loretta, you've been great to me, despite my… situation."

The guard smiled at her ex-prisoner. "Let's get you out of here, one of your brothers are outside waiting on you."

XXX

"Dean!" She yelled and ran up to her brother and embracing him in a real hug. "It feels so good to actually hug you."

"You too Em."

I know there's been a lot of time jumps, but I just want to establish a proper history.

P.S Emma doesn't know that she's adopted, but Dean does.
