I Got This

The next morning Dean was in the kitchen drinking coffee and reading over the files on the new case when he heard footsteps. He looked behind him and saw a little girl glaring at him.

"Oh, hey squirt." Dean smirked.

Mya eyed him oddly and tilted her head.

"You ok?" He asked growing nervous.

"STRANGER!" Mya screamed as loud as she could.

"Oh, no, no." Dean smiled nervously.

"Daddy! Stranger!" Mya screamed again and Punk came running in with gun in hand.

"It's just me." Dean told him and Punk sighed.

"It's just Dean!" Punk yelled back to AJ.

"Daddy." Mya whispered in shock. "Get him." She said nodding at Dean.

"He saved your life last night." Punk reminded her. "This is your uncle Dean."

"Oh." Mya said looking back at Dean. "Hi." She smiled with a shrug and walked over to grab a juice.

"She's April's alright." Dean laughed.

"Yea. Gives me heart attacks every day." Punk groaned.

"I want to come along when you take them to school." He told Punk quietly. "I want to know the usual route you take and talk to the school about security."

"Ok." Punk said to him. "Ape normally takes them and picks them up."

"I'm going to her office too." Dean told him and Punk nodded.

"Are you sure you don't mind?" Punk asked.

"Not at all. I've missed working. I wish it was under better circumstances." Dean admitted.

"Same." Punk groaned.

"What time do they leave for school?" Dean asked.

"Not another two hours. She's an early riser and terrible sleeper." He told Dean and Dean looked at Mya who shot him an innocent smile.

"You a troublemaker?" Dean asked Mya.

"I'm daddy's perfect angel." Mya informed him smugly.

"She is." Punk agreed.

"Phil!" AJ yelled from upstairs.

"I got it." Punk told Dean and rushed up the stairs.

Punk headed into the bedroom and into the master bathroom where AJ was.

"I'm bleeding." She told him horrified holding her stomach.

"What? No." He said fearing the worst. They were losing this baby too.

"It's not a lot but it can't be good." She cried.

"Ok I'll take you to the hospital." He said grabbing his clothes.

"The kids." AJ remembered.

"Don't worry Dean is here." he reminded her. "Just get your shoes."

"What happened?" Dean asked walking into the bedroom.

"I have to take Ape to the hospital." He told Dean who frowned. "I can't get into it right now."

"What can I do?" Dean asked.

"Take the kids to school?" Punk asked and Dean nodded. "J.R will tell you the school name."

"Got it." Dean nodded.

"I'm ready." AJ said to them and Punk lifted her into his arms.

"Call me!" Dean yelled after them as he followed them down the stairs and out the door.

"Where's mama going?" Mya asked.

"She wasn't feeling good so your dad took her to the doctor. Nothing to worry about." Dean told her.

"Alright, let's get ready for school." Dean said as Mya looked out the window and watched her parents leave. She then spotted the man with the dog and her face lit up.

"Doggy!" Mya cheered.

"Oh no you don't." Dean laughed gently pulling her away from the door she was about to bolt out of.

"You're mean." Mya pouted.

"I am not mean. I am fun Uncle Dean." Dean informed her proudly and she eyed him and folded her arms.

"You don't seem fun. You never let me pet doggies." She explained.

"Come on, squirt." Dean sighed. "I used to change your diaper."

"Really?" Mya asked warily.

"I did! And I used to rock you to sleep and feed you." Dean told her and she smiled a bit. "I know your favorite stuffed animal was this monkey-"

"I still have him. His name is Monkey face." Mya informed him.

"I bought you that gray monkey." Dean told her and her mouth dropped in shock. "That's right I did."

"Are you really my uncle?" Mya questioned.

"Well, I'm your godfather so I guess that makes me your uncle." He told her.

"Uncle Dean!" J.R cheered running down the stairs. "Are you taking us to school?"

"Sure am." Dean told him.

"I need to eat my breakfast." Mya said running off.

"Where's mom and dad?" J.R asked.

"They had to run out. It's all good though." Dean told him.

"No it's not." J.R told him and Dean eyed him. "I know something is wrong but dad won't tell me."

"Trust your old man." Dean encouraged. "I do."

A few hours later Punk and AJ walked back into the house and Dean walked into the living room.

"Bed." Punk told her. "I'll carry you up the stairs."

"You can't carry me around for months." AJ said as he helped her sit on the couch.

"We ok?" Dean asked nervously.

"We are." AJ assured him and passed him something.

"A baby?" Dean asked with a smile.

"I've had some complications before. So we're very paranoid." She told Dean.

"She miscarried four times and this pregnancy is very high risk." Punk informed Dean bluntly. "Her blood pressure is too high and she's on bed rest until she pops. So make sure you she doesn't get up."

"I'm not on bed rest." AJ corrected.

"Yes she is." Punk argued.

"For two weeks I am, yes then I'll be evaluated again." AJ reminded him.

"Congrats." Dean said shaking Punk's hand. "I'll keep an eye on her."

"You're not a babysitter." AJ reminded him. "And I am an adult."

"Is it just one this time?" Dean asked warily.

"Yes. Had the double check." Punk told him.

"At every appointment." AJ nodded. "Speaking of, they get to school ok?"

"Yea. I mean think J.R senses something is off." Dean told them.

"He's smart and can read energy." AJ nodded in agreement.

"We're not going to be discussing anything Sawyer related with Ape though." Punk told Dean.

"And I told you that you couldn't do that. I have to kept in the loop." She argued.

"Not for two weeks." Punk told her and she rolled her eyes.

"He's the boss." Dean shrugged looking at AJ and she narrowed her eyes at him. "With work!" he corrected quickly. "Because obviously you're the boss of the house." He added with a smile.

"Damn right I am." AJ said then glared at Punk.

"I didn't argue." Punk shrugged.

"Let's go over the house security." Dean said to Punk and he nodded and followed Dean into the next room.

"I need to make sure this house is locked down. I can't have Sawyer sibling getting in here." Punk told Dean.

"Yea I know and we need to update your garage security. I was thinking censors. For the side of the house too." Dean told him.

"Won't animals set it off?" Punk asked.

"Not a good version. It will know the difference between people and animals." Dean told him.

"James kept asking for Mya." Punk informed him.

"After all these years?" Dean asked surprised and Punk nodded.

"I have to assume his brother will work off the same motivation and goals." Punk told him. "She's not a little baby anymore. If they get their hands on her it's going to scar her for life."

"They won't get their hands on her." Dean said with ease. "He'd have an army of people to get through first."

"I'm scared. I can't just keep them in a crib where I could watch them. They're grown kids and there's two of them and now I have Ape who can't do much and I can't even have her worried about this because if the stress of this kills my kid-" Punk began to rant.

"Relax." Dean said cutting him off. "We're going to figure this out. This Sawyer sibling doesn't have his dad's resources, probably doesn't have the money or the connections James had. We've got this."

"He's been killing women across the country for months." Punk pointed out. "He may not have the money but he clearly has the brains."

"I don't think any Sawyer is smart." Dean told him honestly. "And I think you're giving this guy too much power over of your life. You let Cena really get into your head."

"It wasn't just John, it was James too." Punk explained. "They scared the crap out of me."

"I can see that." Dean remarked. "Right now we don't even know for sure if this brother is just copying James or trying to fulfill his last wishes."

"I can't gamble my family on it." Punk told him simply.

"I agree, which is why I'm here. All I'm saying is don't make yourself sick over it. You or April." Dean said to him.

"I put in for early retirement." Punk confided quietly. "I thought with Ape having this third baby she could use the extra set of hands and I want to be there more of the kids and my wife. I'm constantly in the line of fire and I don't want to die and miss out on my family. Life is too fucking short."

"Keep those papers in." Dean urged.

"I'm not retiring with a Sawyer running around and a target on my daughters back." Punk said firmly. "Not a shot."

"It will be resolved and you'll be fine and so will the kids." Dean said waving it off.

Later that day Punk picked the kids up from school. AJ was sent to her bed and told to stay there so it was up to Punk to cook dinner and help with the homework.

"Ah." Mya sighed dramatically looking out the living room window.

"Problem?" Dean asked looking over from his laptop.

"The doggie is back." Mya said sadly. "And I haven't pet him once."

"Will you buy her a dog!" Dean yelled towards the kitchen at Punk.

"She killed three hamsters and a gerbil already." J.R snorted from the floor where he was watching the Cubs game.

"No one told me the hamster can't fly." Mya argued.

"Why would the hamster fly?" J.R asked annoyed. "Splattered right out of her window." he told Dean.

"I'm scared of you." Dean said to Mya and she glared at him.

"And the other one she put in her pocket then sat down and squished it." J.R informed Dean.

"I won't sit on a doggy." Mya growled. "Daddy! Can I go pet that doggy? Yes or no?"

"No!" Punk yelled from the kitchen.

"Please!" She yelled back. "Is it yes now?"

"No!" Punk yelled back.

"Ugh." Mya groaned and began waving through the window. "Uncle Dean, can I go pet the doggy?"

"Come on, squirt don't get me in trouble." Dean groaned. "Your dad said no."

"That was before maybe now yes." Mya argued.

"You don't like to hear the word no, do you?" Dean asked and she shrugged.

"Fine. I'll go play with Mama." Mya said climbing off the couch.

"She has to sleep." Dean reminded her.

"Then can I pet the doggy?" She asked with a grin.

"Isn't she so annoying?" J.R asked Dean.

"Come with me." Dean groaned standing up and Mya eagerly followed her new found Uncle.

Dean opened the front door and Mya ran past him to the gate.

"Wait for me." Dean sighed chasing after her.

Dean opened the gate and Mya stepped out and her face fell.

"The doggy is gone!" Mya nearly cried.

"Next time." Dean said to her.

"Life isn't fair." Mya muttered stomping back into the house.

Dean saw a car slowly passing by and narrowed his eyes at the tinted vehicle that sped up when Dean spotted him. He felt his stomach drop and realized this could be a lot worse than he initially thought.

After dinner Punk was cleaning up and AJ came down the stairs and entered the kitchen.

"Bed." Punk ordered pointing.

"I had to pee and then check why it was so quiet." She said.

"Dean took them to the park." He told her. "Can't sleep?"

"No." She told him."Do you think James would be more willing to help if I went to see him?"

"I think you know my answer to that." Punk forced out calmly. "Please just go to bed."

"I can't go to bed and do nothing when I feel my family is in danger. Its not just the kids it's you too." AJ said to him.

"I'm fine." Punk assured her. "The kids are fine, please just worry about the one growing inside of you."

"I called work and told them I'd be out for a few weeks." She told him.

"How did the boyfriend take it?" Punk asked in a serious voice and she rolled her eyes. "Should I expect him to drop by and check in on you daily?"

"Stop." She sighed sitting down. "I'm not in the mood to laugh."

"Who's laughing?" Punk asked seriously.

"He's just nice." She reminded him. "What about Adam?"

"Who?" Punk asked dumbfounded and AJ glared at him. "What about him?

"Maybe he knows something. We should-" She began.

"There is no 'we' when it comes to Adam or Sawyer for that matter." Punk reminded her sternly. "This is dangerous. I'm the Marshal." He reminded her.

"I know but I want to help." She offered.

"I know you do, baby." He said kissing the top of her head. "But the best way you could help me is by sitting back and letting me handle everything."

"I feel useless." She told him.

"You're not. I'm going to be working a lot so the kids are going to need you. J.R already senses something is wrong." He told her and she nodded. "You can't help this. If I thought you could I'd enlist you."

"Rules are the same as last time." She told him.

"Rules?" He questioned.

"Kids come first always." She told him.

"I agree." He said firmly. "Goes for you too."

"Of course." She said to him.

"So don't forget you're carrying one right now." He reminded her and she gave him a soft smile. "Your health is part of this deal."

"Mama!" Mya cheered running into the house and throwing her arms around AJ.

"Did you have fun at the park?" AJ asked her daughter who nodded with a big smile.

"I pet so many doggies today! Uncle Dean made everyone with a doggy stop so I can pet it." Mya told her happily.

"It was a good time." Dean agreed walking in with J.R

"She had to pet every single dog!" J.R complained.

"I really want one." Mya said looking up with AJ with her doe eyes.

"We'll see when you're older." AJ said to her.

"Yea when you won't kill it. We can't flush a dog." J.R said to Mya and she growled at him.

"He's exactly you." Dean said to Punk. "And she's exactly AJ. It's almost creepy."

"I'm not creepy." AJ and Mya scolded at the same time and Dean looked at Punk.

"I don't see it." Punk teased.

"Can I bring Uncle Dean to show and tell tomorrow?" Mya asked her parents.

"What would he do?" AJ laughed.

"He can burp the alphabet!" Mya laughed and AJ sighed.

"I'm a great influence." Dean shrugged innocently.

"Go wash up and get your PJ's on." AJ told the twins.

"But there's a late Cubs game." J.R groaned.

"Bed." AJ instructed and J.R turned to his father who shot him a wink which meant Punk would be sneaking him out to watch some of the game.

"Ok!" J.R ran off.

"You have to wake him tomorrow." AJ warned her husband.

"It's fine." Punk said waving it off. "Off to bed for you too." he told her.

"Tuck me in?" She asked seductively waggling her eyebrows.

"Damn." He grinned and Dean gagged. "Nothing strenuous for two weeks." He reminded her and she pouted. "Two weeks." He repeated cupping her face then kissing her deeply.

"You trying to make it a twin or what?" Dean asked.

"That's not how it works." AJ smirked then walked away.

"Kids drive you crazy?" Punk asked.

"No they're great. It's seriously like someone shrunk you and April and I'm just hanging out with you two." Dean teased. "You two did a good job with them. Keep an eye on Mya though, blink and she's taking off just like her mother."

"Don't remind me." Punk groaned. "So, what on the agenda tonight?"

"Tonight you're watching the game with your son and I'm going to keep an eye out. Thought I saw a weird car earlier I want to stick outside a bit." Dean said to him.

"What color?" Punk asked.

"Beat up old ford but tinted windows. Stuck out to me." Dean told him.

"I trust your instincts." Punk said to him. "I should-"

"-watch the game with your son." Dean finished for him. "Your kids are smart. Let me do the worrying tonight. You just hang out with J.R."

"Thank you." Punk said to him.

"I got this, don't worry." Dean said slapping his shoulder.
