Sam smiled as Dean slouched back in the chair and rubbed his full belly while Karen counted the ten one dollar bills Dean had given her.
'Pleasure doing business with you uncle Dean.' Karen said proudly as she pocketed the money.
'How did she eat that whole thing and not even get full?' Dean asked in amazement.
'You're looking at the winner of the state fair pie eating competition fours running.' Karen bragged as she leaned over the table and took up Dean's unfinished plate and ate the rest of the steak.
'Really?' Sam asked, eager to learn about his child.
'Yup, mom took me to the doctor thinking it was a tape worm, but it's just a very speedy metabolism and-' Karen paused to stand up and put her foot in the chair and her hands on her hips 'THE WILL POWER OF A HUNDRED MEN!' she yelled victoriously.
Sam couldn't help but laugh while Dean thanked God no one was around to see that.
Karen sat back down and smiled at Sam, happy to hear what his laugh sounded like. Her mom always told her he had an amazing little laugh.
'Um, Sam, can I ask you a question?' Karen asked, suddenly nervous.
'Sure, anything.' Sam said, giving her his full attention.
'Can I call you Dad?'
Sam tried and failed at trying to hide the fact that he had gotten choked up when she asked him that. All he had ever wanted was a family and even though this is not what he pictured he was happy just the same.
'Of course you can.' Sam said.
'OK…Dad.' Karen smiled brightly at him and Sam smiled back at her.
Again they heard the flicker of a camera and turned to see Dean with his phone.
'Dude, what are you doing?' Sam asked.
'What? Have you ever heard of a Kodak Moment? Now both of you smile, and not that yearbook smile Sam, I wanna see them pearly whites; that goes for you too Princess.' Dean instructed.
Sam was about to tell his brother he was stupid when Karen climbed into his lap and turned to the camera and smiled, so he too smiled for the camera.
Dean took the photo and smiled at the image and quickly set it as his screensaver before giving the phone to Sam so he could show Karen.
'Aawww, look how cute we are; we have matching dimples.' Karen pointed out.
Karen turned and looked up at him and smile and Sam saw that she did have his dimples.
'Alright you dimple buddies, let's head home.' Dean said as he pulled out his wallet and paid for the meal and left a tip.
'Yeah, let's go.' Sam agreed as he stood up.
'OK, but I gotta get something out of the car first.' Karen said before running outside.
'Your ten year old daughter has her own car?' Dean asked.
'Apparently, let's go check it out.' Sam said.
The Winchesters didn't know what they were expecting to see when they exited the humble diner but they know it wasn't the classic black Mercedes that Karen's little legs were hanging out of.
Once she had gotten out of the car she had a frickin' huge backpack that she was struggling carry.
'Let me help you with that.' Sam said as he walked over and too the backpack from the ten year old. He had to commend her for being able to carry it at all, he was a big guy and he found the backpack heavy.
'What do you have in here?' Sam asked as he shouldered the bag.
'My room and all my papers. .' Karen replied.
Karen moved over to the driver side of the car and knocked on the window, and waited while the window was rolled down.
'I wish you wouldn't leave finger prints on the windows.' said the old man who was sitting in the car.
'I'm sorry; will you please tell my grandfather I will never be returning to the mansion.' Karen said.
'I will inform him, any personal messages?' the driver asked.
'Yes, tell him he's a butt head.' Karen smiled before the car drove off.
'Butt head?' Dean asked.
'Butt head, and now he's gonna be a bald butt head.' Karen grinned as she went over to Sam and pulled a gray toupee out of the side pocket.
'Took it before I left, he had this made by this Japanese guy that passed three years ago, and he'll never get another one like it. Imma hang it up on my wall like a deer head.' Karen explained before putting it back.
'Alright! Karen one; Granddad zero!' Dean cheered before giving Karen a high five.
'Thank you, yes I'm amazing. Now let's go home.' Karen said.
'Alright, this is our car.' Sam said pointing to the Impala.
'Ahem!' Dean said loudly.
'Fine, Dean's car slash girlfriend, he calls her Baby.' Sam teased making Karen giggle.
'You do know you need me to drive you guys home, right?' Dean asked while holding up the keys.
'Alright, we'll be quiet.' Sam surrendered and Dean unlocked the car.
'If it makes you feel better, I call my laptop Pistachio.' Karen offered as she opened the door and sat in the back seat and put on her seatbelt.
'Why Pistachio?' Sam asked.
'I don't know, I just like Pistachio.' Karen shrugged.
Dean started the car and was about to drive when Karen yelled.
'WAIT!'
'What? What is it?' Dean asked, not sure what to expect.
'Seatbelts, what if we crash?' she scolded the two men in the front seat.
'Well like father like daughter I guess.' Dean grumbled as he put on his seatbelt.
'You say it like it's a bad thing.' Sam joked as he put his on as well.
'Happy?' Dean asked, looking at Karen in the rearview mirror.
'Yes.' She said happily.
The drive wasn't nearly as long as it had seemed to Sam when they were going to meet Karen, he thinks it because now he knew her and was less nervous. However when they got to the Bunker Sam's nervousness was back.
'What is this place?' Karen asked.
