Chapter 3

Dean awoke to the smell of bacon. He sat up and looked around confused. He was in a quaint room, with pale yellow walls.

" Dean! Get down here before your food gets cold." A familiar voice called.

It was a dream he told himself. She was dead and wasn't coming back. Still, he thought, I might as well enjoy my dreams. He dressed and went downstairs, almost freezing at the sight of his beautiful wife. She looked so real. In fact everything seemed so real, maybe, just maybe he had been dreaming all along and this was the real world.

Dean walked up to Jo and kissed her, held her, as though he hadn't seen her in years. He stopped when he heard a faint giggle. Turning, he saw a beautiful blonde hair, green eyed little girl.

" Hope?" He said.

" Duh, daddy. Who'd you expect, Santa Claus?" the girl giggled.

Jo turned to him, " Are you ok? You seem. . Different."

" I've never felt better. I love you so much." Dean said kissing her again.

" I love you too." she replied. Then Jo whispered, " Maybe you should behave yourself since your five year old daughter is sitting right there."

Dean smiled and bent down to Hope, who kissed and hugged him. " I love you too daddy." She said.

Dean felt as though he were in Heaven. He felt so utterly overjoyed.

" Sam's going to be here in a little bit. You guys are going to Bobby's to help him with a, uh, job." Jo said.

" Sam's coming? So he's really Sam?" Dean asked.

" Of course. Who else would he be?"

" I dunno. Nevermind." He kissed her one more time and then bent to pick up Hope. " You wanna go outside and play with your dad?" He asked.

" Yeah daddy. Are you sick?" She asked putting a hand to his forehead like her mom did when she was sick.

" No why would you say that sweetheart?" Dean said.

" Cause you never wanna play with me." She replied simply.

Dean was shocked. How could he not play with his daughter? He looked to Jo and she smiled, almost sadly. He didn't understand.

Bobby had called Dean to say he didn't need their help now. So Dean was left with his family. He helped Jo with dinner, and put Hope to bed. It was his idea of a perfect day. He went downstairs and sat by Jo on their couch. He put his arms around her and held her close, nuzzling her neck.

" What's gotten into you?" She smiled bringing him closer.

" I don't know what you mean." He laughed.

He pushed her down on the couch and sat on top of her. He leaned down and tore her shirt off of her. He kissed her passionately. They made love, Dean relishing in this moment. He thought he'd never get this again. He murmured he loved her again and again.

Dean awoke in his Impala. Tears stung his eyes, and their sat Castiel.

" Why? Why Cas? That was cruel." Dean said

" I am sorry, Dean. But there was a reason behind it."

" What possible reason could you have to do that to me?" Dean angrily said.

" If you say yes, it shall be." Cas replied.

" What do you mean?" Dean asked.

" If you agree to let Michael in, you will be rewarded. We will bring Jo back." Cas said.

" What's the catch?"

" You won't be able to see Hope while you're inhabited."

" How long will that be?" Dean asked.

" I cannot say. It will be as long as your needed."

Dean pondered. It was a difficult decision.

" Do I have time to think?" Dean questioned.

" You have one week."

Castiel disappeared. And there sat Dean, this decision conflicting him. . .

A/N: SO what did you think? Reviews would be lovely. Tell me what you think.

Much love
