Ok So, I am going to be honest. I'm not to thrilled with the response I got. I know its in the middle of the school year and all but ok for chapter 2 I have 43 hits at this point and 0 reviews. And one of the huge reasons I even considered writing this story was because of the amount of reviews and response that the others got. Speeding Cars had 19 reviews by this point, maybe this story hasn't started off as good. But if that is the case I would hope you would tell me and then tell me what you would like to see happen and what your views are. I wont except flames, but constructive comments I will take.
But I am going to keep writing because I love this story, but if reviews and responses don't get better then I'm quitting it. Sorry for being so mean about this, but if no one is responding then I don't see a point in putting it out there.
Chapter 4: The Contemplation
(Annie's POV 2006)
I was sleeping better then I had in weeks when the sun hit my eyes and forced them to flutter open. Once the blurriness was gone, I was greeted with the shining green eyes that I loved so much.
"Hey there…" He said, his voice still clouded in sleep. I smiled and kissed him briefly.
"Morning…" I replied groggily. He laughed some.
"Still not a morning person in your old age?" He joked. I playfully slapped him on the arm before burying my head in his chest to block out the sun.
"I'm only twenty seven, almost twenty eight. But at this point in time you are still older then me!" I pointed out. I could tell he was thinking about the math, but ended up discovering I was right. I giggled some and looked up at him smiling.
"You know as much as I love being here with you, I need to find a way to get home. Other wise Mia and Ty are going to catch on and I really don't want to damage their childhood that much…" I muttered before climbing out of bed.
"Wait, who are Mia and Ty?" He asked. Shit. I hadn't told him about them yet. I took a deep breath and turned around to face him.
"Our twins…" I told him quietly. His eyes got huge.
"Wow…" He whispered. "I feel like I should be holding you extremely tight right now… we have twins?"
I laughed. "Yeah, a boy and a girl."
"What do they look like?" He asked.
"Well, Mia I'm proud to say looks exactly like me. But Ty, he is you all over… except with my hair. But the eyes, and smile and nose… totally yours." I explained. And that's when it hit me…
I wanted to go home. Last night with the old Dean was incredible, but now I was realizing just how much I didn't belong here. I missed my kids, I missed my Dean…
He really did love me, but I had been the distant one. I had been the one making the distance between us wider because I was still scared of losing him. Now I had him… but it wasn't the same.
There were tears in my eyes that threatened to fall down my face at any second.
"Babe, are you ok?" Dean asked concerned.
"I miss them…" I said honestly.

(Annie's POV 2011)
I will admit that my kids were way cuter then any other kids I had even seen. But I wasn't to focused on that right now.
This whole thing was making me think I had to grow up. And I just wanted to go back to my time. Sure me and Dean were fighting, but that just meant that the make up would be ten million times amazing. And, I wasn't ready to be a mom yet, and Dean was old and so was Gabi and Sam and I just wanted to be twenty three and free again.
So I locked myself in the bathroom and held my knees to my chest while letting the tears stream down my face. Without any sense of how long I had been in there, I heard the door open. It was Dean.
"Hey, hey…" He said coming over and wrapping an arm around me. "What's wrong?"
He was still so gentle and caring when it came to me… so why was I crying.
"I'm sorry… I just, I want to go home. Its not like I have anything to miss, you are all right here. But… its different…" I told him. He sat next to me and sighed.
"Yeah I've been hearing that a lot lately from the other you to." He told me. I looked up at him with a questioning glance.
"What do you mean? You're great… I mean yeah it seems you're a little lacking in the whole romance thing, no offense, but other then that, I mean your still amazing…" I told him honestly.
"Lacking in romance?" He questioned.
"Yeah which is something I never would have expected from you… so what's up with it?" I was pressing the issue, but I was good at it. He shifted a little uncomfortably but ended up telling me.
"Annie, I'm scared of you, and I'm scared for you. Hell, I'm scared to touch you because I don't know what could happen if I do…" He was letting himself go completely.
"Why do you think all of that?" I asked.
"Because… every time something good happens to us, something bad follows. First, we get together, then you almost die weekly, which ok was a side effect of our job I get that… but these things weren't just average run ins, they were hunting you just as hard as we were hunting them. Then we finally get a semi-normal life and you get taken to some alternate universe for a year and a half and come back believing I don't love you… then a while later you get pregnant for the second time, but oh no, we have to fix that because if we didn't you would die trying to have it. Then, Mia and Ty, the miracles of all miracles are born and I almost lose you again because you almost didn't make it out alive. That is how I have lived my life every day for the past six years… and now I am afraid that the minute I touch you, you will fall away and Annie, I can't lose you." This time he was the one crying.
"I almost died having the twins?" I replied brainlessly.
"Yeah… it was the scariest thing ever, well, in normal life terms. You getting swiped off the universe was actually the scariest one that had universal affects." He told me. I nodded and put my hand on his.
"Do you still love me? Like you did before? Like back in San Francisco?" I asked quietly. He looked at me again with an almost hurt expression.
"Even more…" He said with out hesitation.
I had never seen Dean this weak, and I didn't like it. But it was my fault, or future me's fault. If I wasn't so damn accident prone, maybe he wouldn't be so miserable.
"And now, you are switched with a you from a complete other time… and even though your still with me…" He didn't want to hurt me by letting the rest out.
"I'm not the same… I get it trust me." I said. And I did understand. "Look, we are going to get this right. I promise. We just have to find the demon and kill it. Then everything will go back to normal."
He looked back up and me, and thank god he was smirking and the tears were gone.
"Bet you never took me for a sentimental guy before now huh?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and stood up.
"Suck it up Winchester, we have some hunting to do." And we walked out of the bathroom.

(Gabi 2011)
"This whole Annie switch-a-roo thing could be a blessing in disguise." I told Sam as we sat on the couch eating and staring into the fire after we put Ellie to bed.
"And how in your lovely twisted mind did you come up with that?" He asked smiling.
"Well, think about it. Present Annie is scared Dean is losing his love for her, and we know for sure that the Dean from the past had extreme amounts of love and wasn't afraid to show it no matter where they were. That's what present Annie missed. And Dean, well he needs some loosening up to. And we also know that the Annie from the past could be a little bit well, more reckless then present Annie… so she could loosen him up, and once we get the switch fixed, I highly doubt we will have to worry about their relationship anymore." I explained. Ok so it took a lot of thinking, but I knew I was right.
"Good point… I think I agree." He said. I smiled up at him.
"Good, because if you didn't then I was going to have to hurt you." I joked. We kissed for a second before pulling away.
"I wonder what our Annie is doing right now…" I said, letting myself think out loud. Then I did some more thinking, and so did Sam. We looked at each and both had our noses scrunched.
"I highly doubt we want to know…" He pointed out. I nodded and shook my head.
"We have to get this fixed…" I mumbled, closing my eyes as I laid my head on his shoulder.
"Yeah, but that can wait until tomorrow…" He replied, his voice filled with the same sleepiness.
