Ch. For the first time
Sam cleared his throat as he let go of his sister.
"So you were adopted huh?" He asks as he ran a hand through his hair. She nodded as she wiped the tears off her face.
"They took me in as a foster kid when I was fourteen. Then the adoption was finalized when I was sixteen. But that doesn't matter right now. Can you guys give me a ride home. I was about to call my sister, but she'd be a thirty minute wait." She said as she picked up her backpack that she had dropped to the ground when she hugged Dean, not noticing the way Dean and Sam winced as she mentioned her family. They had never really thought of her having a family, of her getting adopted.
"Yeah sure Carrie, hop in." Dean said before he walked over to the drivers side. Caroline got into the backseat and Sam got into the passenger side.
"And it's Caroline, not Carrie, Carrie's a psycho high schooler." She said as she arranged her stuff in the back then slouched in the seat, a look of contentment on her face as she stared out the window. Sam just chuckled as Dean shook his head before staring expectantly at his sister.
"So your address is…?" Dean asked and Caroline turned her attention back to him.
"Oh right, 1248 Monroe St. It's a few streets away." She said from the backseat as she stretched out her feet. "This car is much smaller then I remember it. But then I'm much taller, certainly not as tall as either of you two of course but still." She said with a wry smirk on her face. There was a slightly uncomfortable silence in the car till Sam cleared his throat.
"So what are you doing with your life now?" He asked as he turned in his seat to look at her. She looked a little uncomfortable as she shrugged.
"Well, not much. I'm finishing up college soon and I'm still working down at the center. I'm getting a degree in mechanics. Basically if it has an engine I can work on it." She said, stretching her arm over the backseat, looking proud. Dean grinned back at her.
"Really? I'll have to get you to have a look at my baby college girl." Dean said with a wide smile. She grinned wide.
"Gladly." She said as she flipped her hair.
"So you said you work at a center? What kind of center?" Sam asked as he looked behind him at her, he couldn't get over how she looked, nor could he get over that he even could see her again after all these years. She got a strange look on her face and looked out the window.
"It's sort of a children's center geared towards kids who've been in foster care. It's called 'The Hawkins Children's Center.' I help instruct the art class, and the auto class." She said. "My Mom works there-I mean my adoptive Mom, new Mom, Mom 2.0." She said with a nervous laugh. Sam chuckled.
"It's okay, we know what you mean." Sam said with a chuckle.
Ten minutes later….
"That's it, that's my house!" Caroline yelled excitedly as she pointed at a small two story house down the street, it wasn't a lavish looking house by any means but it looked….cozy. Dean parked outside it and she leaped out of the car and picked up all her stuff before heading to the front door. "Come on in, I'll introduce you to my sister!" She yelled over her shoulder at them as they sat in the impala. Sam and Dean took a deep breath before looking at each other.
"Well, let's go." Dean said before they stepped out of the car.
Author's Note: The fourth chapter of The Truth About The Apple Pie Life. The awkwardness wasn't very hard to write.
Supernatural is not mine, I only own Caroline.
And I was thinking of making some photo manips if anyone can suggest an actress to use as Caroline that'd be great, let me know. I was thinking of Danielle Panabaker but I will listen to any suggestions.
