Chapter
Three
The Unplanned Visit
Sam lay in bed, not able to fall back asleep. He could not believe the vision he had. His wife was going to die and he would not be able to save her. He sat up and sighed. He ran his hand through his hair. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was seven in the morning. He sighed and wondered if anyone else was awake. Sam heard a laugh. It was the laugh of his nephew, Jason. He smiled and got up. Sam was still in his clothes, but he had taken his shoes off. He walked out of the room and down the hall. He walked into the bar and saw Jason playing with Dean. Sam laughed a little, "Looks like he's an early riser like his uncle." Dean and Jason looked up. Sam gave them a smiled. "Uncle Sammy!" Jason said as he got up and ran over to Sam. Sam squat down to pick up his nephew.
"Hey buddy," Sam smiled and said as he picked up his nephew. Dean walked over to his brother and son. Dean noticed that Sam looked tired. "Hey Sam, are you okay? Looks like you didn't get any sleep."
Sam's smiled and disappeared. He looked at his brother and sighed, "I had a 'dream'." Dean automatically knew what Sammy was talking about. His eyes grew slightly big and then looked at his son, "Jason, why don't you go and play in your room?" He said as he ruffled Jason's hair. Sam out Jason down and watched as his nephew ran to his toys, grabbed them, and ran to his room. Sam looked at his bother and looked down.
"It was about Ivy, Dean. She is going to die. The Demon grabbed and choked her to death. I was not there, Dean. I wasn't there to save her." Dean looked at his little brother. He could tell that Sam really cared for Ivy and being away from her was killing him. He did not know what to do. He knew Sam wanted to go back and be with her. However, Dean, Jo, and Ellen needed Sam. They needed Sam to be part of this hunt. Sam looked at Dean with worried eyes, "I can't let her die, Dean. Not like Madison." Sam shook his head. He remembered Madison's death. How could he forget? He was the one who killed her. The memory began to come back to him.
After Madison had turned during the day, Sam ran to Dean for help. Banging on the hotel door where his brother was staying, Sam was trying to figure out what to do next. "She turned!" Sam said as soon as Dean opened the door. "What?" Dean asked surprised. Sam looked at his brother, "I couldn't grab her in time."
They left the building and at that moment, Sam's phone rang. "Sam." It was Madison. "Madison, where are you!?" Sam asked as he rushed over to Dean's car. "I don't- I don't know where I am." Dean and Sam got into the car and drove to where Madison had told Sam. Moments later, the three of them were at Madison's trying to figure out how to save her. Madison finally realized that there was no cure for what she was becoming. She knew there was no way for Sam or Dean to save her now. She knew there was only one way to stop everything. She knew that she had to die. Tears began to form in her eyes. She did not want this to happen, but there was no other way.
"So, I guess that's all there is to it, then." Madison said. Sam was surprised to hear that. He did not want her to die. "Madison, stop that. Don't talk like that." Sam said as he turned to face her. "Sam, I don't want to hurt anyone else. I do not want to hurt you." Madison looked at the gun that lay on the counter near them. She picked it up and looked at Sam. "Put that down." Sam said as he looked at Madison.
"I can't do it myself. " Madison said as she handed him the gun. "I need you to help me." Madison said as she began to cry. Sam did not want to do it. He did not want to kill the one girl he cared for since Jessica. He wanted Madison to live. He cared too much for her. Dean watched as Sam and Madison continued to talk. Sam had tears in his eyes and Madison begged Sam to kill her. Dean could not take it anymore. He walked over to them, took the gun from Madison, and walked into another room. Sam walked behind his brother and the two began to talk. Dean was trying to convince Sam that they can possible find another way. Sam had tears in his eyes. He knew what he had to do. He took the gun from Dean and walked away. Dean now had tears in his eyes. Dean wasn't a crier, but with all that's happening, he could not stop. Sam walked towards Madison and did what she had wished for.
Tears were rolling down Sam's face as he remembered that horrible day. He was a murderer despite what anyone said. Dean saw his brother's tears. He sighed and placed both hand son his brother's shoulder. The brothers looked at each other. Dean knew what he had to do. "She's not going to die, Sam. We both know she's nothing like Madison."
Dean's hands fell from Sam's shoulders. Soon Joanna and Jason joined them. "Morning' boys," Jo said as she walked up to them. Dean looked at Jo and met her halfway. He gave her a small kiss. Jo noticed that Sam was in tears. She asked Dean what was going on. He briefly gave her a quick summary. Jo's eyes were filled with concern. Then in a soft whisper, Dean told Jo what he was going to do.
"I am going to drive up to Boston and give Ivy. She will be safer here and Sam will fill better. If he asked where I am going just say that I had to run some errands." Dean kissed Jo. Jason was on the floor playing with his toys. Dean hurried to his room and quickly changed. Before walking out, Dean rushed to Sam's room and grabbed his phone. He looked in his contacts and found Ivy's phone number. Dean placed her number in his phone and left Sam's room. He walked out of the building and got into his car. Dean started the black Impala as the rumbling sound of the engine carried into the roadhouse. Sam heard it as Dean drove off.
"Where's Dean going?" Sam asked as he looked at Joanna. Jo told him that Dean had to run some errands and that he would be back later. She hoped Sam believed her. Surprisingly, Sam believed Jo. Jo offered to make breakfast as soon as Ellen woke up and walked into the room. Soon the morning began.
Nearly 6 hours later, Dean still had not returned, but he had finally called. Jo answered the phone. He was relieved that it was Jo who answered. He told her that he had arrived in Boston early. The hard part was getting inside Ivy's house and convince her to come back. Finally, Dean had convinced her and they left Boston, but they got stuff in traffic. He told Joanna that they were maybe an hour away. Dean and Jo hung up; Jo went back to play with Jason.
An hour later, Dean had finally arrived. Joanna heard Dean's car and her heart began to race. She looked over at Sam who was on his laptop. Then, Dean finally comes through the door. "Daddy! Daddy!" Jason said as he got up and ran to his father. Dean smiled and looked at Sam. Sam looked up and saw that his older brother was finally home.
"Hey Dean, where were you?" Sam asked as he watched Dean's smile disappear. Standing outside the door was Ivy. She was nervous. She held Rex, her black terrier in her arms. The suddenly, Rex jumped out of her arms and into the building. Rex ran past Dean and towards Sam. Sam felt something tugging at his legs. He looked down and was surprised to see Rex. Ivy knew that there was no turning back now. She knew that she had to go in there. "Rex? What are you doing here?" Sam asked as he picked up the dog.
"T-That's not Rex. That's just a stray I picked up on the way over here," Dean tried to lie. Ivy listened to Dean as he tried to lie. She took a deep breath and walked into the bar.
"Its okay, Dean. You don't have to lie anymore." Ivy said as she stepped into the building and a few feet away from Dean. Sam saw who walked in and his eyes grew big. He could not believe what he was seeing. His wife was standing before him. Rex's tail wagged happily on Sam's arm. Sam put Rex down and looked at Ivy. He was happy to see her. He felt tears starting to form again, but he fought them back. He knew t hat Ivy was still mad at him. He sighed and looked around. He saw that Jo, Jason, and Dean were standing together a few feet away from them. Sam looked back at Ivy.
"What are you doing here, Ivy?" Sam asked as he placed his hands in his jean pockets. He started at his beautiful wife. Being away from her killed him inside. He loves Ivy. That's why he asked her to marry him. He thought that everything was going to change since he and Dean killed the Demon. However, no that its back Sam knew that things were changing again. He waited for Ivy's answer. He was happy that she was there with him, but he still wanted to know why she was there.
"Dean came and picked me up," she said as she looked at Sam. She watched her dog walk around the bar. Then she heard footsteps coming from the back rooms. Ellen stopped out from the back. Ivy looked at Ellen. She felt someone tapping her leg. Ivy looked down and saw Jason standing next to her. "Is that your doggy?" Jason asked as Ivy squat down and smiled at him. "Yes, he is. Do you want to play with him? He will not bite. He loves people." She said as she called Rex over. Rex trotted over to Ivy and Jason and sat down. Jason turned around and smiled at the dog. Soon enough, Rex and Jason began to play. Ivy stood up and looked back at Ellen.
"He's Jo's and Dean's kid." Ellen said as she walked up to Ivy. Ivy smiled at her and Ellen introduced herself, "Ellen Harvelle. You must be Ivy." She said as she extended her hand out. Ivy smiled and shook her head. "You have a nice place here, Ellen." Ivy said as she looked around. She was trying to avoid Sam. She did not want to talk to him. At least not now. Ellen and Ivy continued to talk, while Sam walked over to his brother and pulled him aside.
"Dean, what did you bring her here?" Sam asked in a soft tone. Dean looked at his brother. He figured that Sam might be mad. He sighed.
"Look Sam, it's clear that you weren't doing so well since you left the house. Since you two had that fight, you have not been able to focus right. We need you to have a clear mind during this hunt, Sam." Dean explained why he brought Ivy. It was true. Sam was distracted and since Sam had a vision about Ivy dying, Dean knew Sam would not be able to focus. Sam looked at Dean, who was fidgeting. Dean usually did that when he had something else to say. Sam cocked and eyebrow.
"Dean, there's something else, isn't there?" Sam asked. Dean looked at Sam. During the ride back, Dean and Ivy talked. Ivy told Dean that she was pregnant. She made Dean promise to tell Sam yet. Dean sighed and looked at his brother. He could not hide it anymore. Dean had to break his promise to Ivy.
"She's pregnant, Sam." Dean said in a whisper. Sam's eyes grew big again. He could not believe what he just heard. Sam looked at Dean, "How do you know?" Sam asked. Dean explained to Sam what he and Ivy talked about. He then revealed that she was two weeks pregnant. Dean placed a hand on Sam's shoulder. Sam was shocked, "I-I'm going to be a dad…" Sam said in a soft voice.
