I'll Save You

AN: My beta was RhiannonNymph thank you for your help. You did a wonderful job with this. I hope you all love this story as much as you enjoyed my first Dean and Ruby story. Read and review.

Summary: Castiel pulls Dean out of hell, but he goes straight back to Ruby. Castiel tells him to stay away from her, but he does just the opposite and has her stay with him and Sam on a permanent bases. Defying Castiel's orders again Dean and Ruby go to Vegas, and get married without Sam. Ruby knew Castiel when she was human and knows that he really is looking to help Dean. However, like always, Dean doesn't like being told what he can and cannot do. Dean doesn't know that Castiel knows Ruby however, but it comes out in the end.

Chapter 3

Sam walked into the motel room with breakfast, found Dean's note and decided to spend his time looking for a hunt. He would have liked to have gone to the wedding, but Dean wasn't the type to wait around for the things he wanted. Sam figured he was lucky to even get a note.

"Where is your brother?" Castiel asked.

He jumped slightly but didn't turn around, "I don't know," he didn't want to have to deal with the Angel at the moment, "you've got a human low jack, why don't you find him?"

"I can't." he could hear the slight distress in the Beings voice. He didn't care.

"Then you're out luck because I haven't seen him. Now, if you don't mind, I'm busy so show your own self out." Sam put his focus back on the computer screen.

------------

Meanwhile, somewhere in Vegas a marriage was taking place. They chose a quaint little chapel with a big, stained glass window and an Elvis cutout in the lobby.

"Do you, Dean take…"

"Yes," Dean said, not letting the man finish.

The minister smiled but continued, "And do you…"

"Yes," Ruby said.

"If you'll repeat after me," the man said.

"We have our own wedding vows." Dean said, looking at her. Without giving the man a moment to say anything Dean started, "Okay, so, when I first met you I didn't think I would ever get married, let alone fall in love. And definitely not with you. But I did and I'm glad." He squeezed her hands, "Without you I don't think I could have gotten through last year or the last four months. You're the only women I'll ever want to be with. Through thick and thin, bad and good, and all those other things that life has to offer. I want you by my side, Ruby because I love you."

Ruby smiled at him. She didn't want to show too many emotions, after all she was supposed to be tough, but if Dean kept it up she knew she was going to crack. "My turn," she said taking a deep breath, "I thought you were a pain when I first met you, a person that didn't know what he was doing on some occasions. Looking at you now," she raked her eyes down his body and back, "I know all the things you've ever done were to protect your brother, and I realized that if you could care that much about him that you would hurt anything that wanted to hurt him, sacrifice yourself to save him, that I wanted to be with you…" she trailed off, taking a breath so she didn't break, "…so you could protect me that much,"

She found those hazel eyes she loved so much, "This summer without you, I couldn't see a day where you might return to me. When you went missing I thought the worst. I never believed that I would be standing here with you, about to become your wife." she smiled to keep the tears at bay, " You've shown me that love is crazy, but it's also wonderful. You've showed me how to love again, you've showed me that sometimes you have to give it a second chance. I love you Dean, and I want to be with you forever." She finished and when she did she couldn't resist deepening the kiss he gave her.

After they parted the minister told them to place the rings on each others hand and he pronounced them officially married. As soon as that was done Dean got them out of there, taking her to his car so they could go do something fun for few hours. So they could say they had a small honeymoon at the most.

Sam was waiting up when Ruby and Dean got back that night, both sporting smiles and shiny new rings. "Hey Sammy," Dean said, he couldn't stop smiling as he shut the door with his foot.

"You two have been gone since eight this morning," Sam said.

"Sorry, Sammy, but we had to take care something that I was promised," Ruby said.

Dean's grin was ear to ear, "I promised my wife, that I would marry her if we made it out alive last May, well it's four months later and here we are," Dean said, "we got married Sam."

With a smile on his face, Sam hugged him, "Bout time Dean,"

"Thanks, I think," Dean said back before he pulled Ruby into their hug, "You're cool with this right? Because we have to keep it mums around Castiel. I don't need them trying to kill her,"

Sam pulled out of the hug, "He came looking for you this morning; he wanted to know where you went."

"Well, come morning we're getting out here. I called Bobby on our way here, told him we're coming there for about a week. He about killed me when I said I got married without you all there." That earned a grin from Sam.

"We should leave tonight, in case Castiel comes looking for you again." Ruby said.

"Yeah, that would be bad especially if he finds out that I married you," Dean said before kissing her.

"Get a room you two," Sam said.

"We have one," Dean joked, "just kidding, let's get out here."

----------------------

Dean and Sam had their stuff packed and ready in ten minutes. "You got your stuff?" Sam asked his new sister in-law.

"Don't really have anything, Sam. What I do have is in the car."

"That reminds me, when we get to Bobby's we gotta get you some clothes," Dean said, "Don't worry, it won't be what we wear."

"I wouldn't care if I only had your clothes to wear for a while." she smiled.

"Okay, no mushy stuff, it's too soon." Sam complained as they got in the car, he let Ruby sit up front for the first time.

--------------------

They got to Bobby's house the next morning, after stopping for breakfast. "I called him at the diner, he had to go get some parts this morning so we got free reign for a while." Dean said, opening the door and going inside.

Bobby's dog came running, barking, but as soon as Dean spoke he stopped his barking and started wagging his tail. "Hey buddy, how are you?" Dean asked, bending down to pet the Rottweiler.

"I think that was the best present you could have given Bobby last Christmas," Sam said rubbing the dog too.

They had named the puppy Hunter. They'd found him abandoned inside one the cabins they'd stayed in the year before. He'd been skinny and looked like death, but after two months of being with Bobby and the brothers he'd been back to his normal condition. "He still loves you, too," Sam said when the dog licked at Dean.

"I think he's just glad to see us," Dean said. Before last year he hadn't been a dog person, what with the hellhounds wasting him last year. Not to mention the dog that had attacked Sam when he was little. He'd just not liked them at all, but he had fallen for this dog.

"Come on, let's get you fed," Dean said. Hunter wasn't an adult yet, he had probably been three months old when they'd found him the year before and that was in November.

"I'm going to take a shower get cleaned up," Ruby said kissing Dean.

"Okay, I might join you soon as I get him fed."

"Take your time, Dean, I think he wants your attention more than I need it."

"Still, I'll be in there in no time." Dean replied before she went to the bathroom.
