The Winchester Code

I do not own anything you recognize…

Lol. I had to laugh at everyone who got mad at Alex. (No offense to Alex!) But it wasn't her who did it. No worries… All is explained.

Chapter Four

o.0.o Dean POV o.0.o

When Sam closed that door behind them, I could only think that this meant trouble.

"Sam," I called through the door. By now the kids were up and watching us. "Sam!"

No answer. Jess came up behind me and called, "Guys, I'm taking the kids to the park." She shot me a troubled glance before turning around and ushering the kids into their respectful room.

Ten minutes later, the kids and Jess were ready to go to the park. But we still hadn't heard anything from Sam or Alex. I was starting to wonder if one of them killed the other.

"Come on," Jess said, breaking my thoughts. Tommy was walking down the stairs and she had picked up Mary. She was waiting for me. I nodded and we started toward the park.

Tommy and Mary walked and talked the whole time in front of us. Jess and I were walking side by side chatting about Sam and Alex.

"Did she push him out the window," I asked.

"No," she answered. "Alex wouldn't do that. She loves him."

"Sam looked pretty upset when he came upstairs. Not to mention he only watched Alex. That's got to mean something, Jess."

"I think Sam did something to upset her. But the baby tapped into that emotion and used against Sam."

"Trying to kill its father," I asked, skeptical.

She thought for a second, "No. It doesn't realize that Sam's its Dad."

I cocked an eyebrow, "Whatever."

"Dean," she said while giving me a look.

"Jess," I said in the same tone with the same look.

"Aunt Jess," Tommy asked as he turned around toward us. "Who's Mary?"

Jess got a confused look on her face and I answered for her, "Mary's your sister."

"No. She has white hair," he said and ran a hand over his own hair. "She says hi."

By now Jess was kneeling to Tommy's height, "Are her eyes blue?"

Tommy turned his head as if looking at someone before nodding.

"That's your Grandma," Jess said. "Uncle Dean's and Daddy's Mom."

Tommy was talking to Mom?

Tommy nodded and Jess stood up to my height as we started to finish our walk to the park.

"What's the deal," I asked her.

"He talks to the dead."

I nodded and put an arm around Jess' shoulders. This was one weird family.

And I was part of it.

o.0.o Sam POV o.0.o

When I pulled her in the room behind me, she glared at me. Subconsciously, we both knew it would be better to wait until everyone left the house, so we didn't speak.

But as soon as that front door closed, she turned to me, "You went on a hunt? What the hell were you thinking?"

"Wait a minute. You just threw me out of the window. What was that," I asked. My cuts were still bleeding.

"I didn't do it! I swear, Sam. You just," she said but then got frustrated. She ran a hand through her hair. "I got upset and then I think the baby played with my powers. Used them."

"How's that possible? None of our other kids did that!"

"I don't know," she admitted. "But the baby's done it before. When I tried to heal someone… the baby wouldn't let me."

"Why," I asked. Why wouldn't the baby let her do good?

"I think the powers hurt it. It doesn't like when I use them."

"Why would it make you use your powers then?"

She sat on the edge of the bed, "I think it wants to protect me. When you said that, I got upset. I think the baby mistook that for pain."

We were quiet for a second before she told me, "Lay down and I'll fix your cuts."

I nodded, peeled my shirt, and laid face down on the bed. I think my back was worse then the front. I heard her grab the first-aid kit and come back into the room.

As she set to work on my cuts, she said, "Why did you go on a hunt without telling me?"

"I thought you would worry," I admitted. "It was next door to Tommy's school and I didn't want it to spill over. I was afraid he would've gotten hurt."

She nodded and poured hydrogen peroxide on the gashes. "We need to learn how to control that baby," I commented.

"I guess it has Dean's protectiveness," she said. She was smiling.

"And your stubbornness," I added. She poured a little more peroxide on my cuts. "Oww," I whined.

"Stop being a baby," she told me hiding a little laughter. "And how did the ghost hit you there?"

My cheeks got a little red, "It turns out the ghost was a horny female. She tried to… uh-"

"I don't want to know anymore," she told me before laughing. "My husband almost got raped by a ghost?"

"Well if you didn't hunt for two years, you'd be rusty too!"

She stopped laughing and put the last of my bandages on my back. I turned over and winced at the pain that shot through it.

"Sorry," she said.

"You didn't do it," I told her and pulled her closer when she lay down on the bed next to me.

I could tell she smiled sadly. "Want to feel better," she asked.

I cocked an eyebrow before sitting up and looking at her, "We fight and then-"

"Sam," she scolded with a smile. "I was talking about painkillers." I laughed a little before nodding.

o.0.o Alex POV o.0.o

I couldn't be mad at Sam. Hell, I'd do the same thing. So I bandaged him up and we talked… and yelled about what he did. What else was there to do?

"Here," I said as I came back in the room with painkillers. "They'll make you fall asleep."

"That might not be a bad thing," he commented.

I nodded. It might not be. "I'll call the glass company," I said. "They'll be able to fix it."

"What's our excuse," he asked as he made himself comfy on the bed.

"You got mad and threw something through the window," I replied, questioningly and sat down next to him.

Sam opened his eyes and looked at me, "That makes it sound like I hurt you."

"What about the kids were playing football in the house," I asked.

"Works for me," he answered and closed his eyes again.

"Sweet dreams," I said trying to hide a bit of humor.

"Nope," he said and grabbed my waist. He pulled me to the opposite side of the bed where he let me lay down next to him. "You're staying here."

"Why," I asked, smiling.

"It was your baby that did this to me."

"Excuse me," I asked. We were both just fooling around. "My baby? If I recall correctly, you were right there next to me."

He stared in my eyes for a second, thinking, before answering, "Okay, our baby. But it's still in your body."

I sighed. I won… for now. I laid down next to him and he put his arm around my waist. "Night, Lex," he said.

I closed my eyes and mumbled, "Only Jess can call me that, Sammy."

"Only Dean can call me that," he muttered.

It took a few minutes, but we were both asleep.

When I woke up later, Sam wasn't in the bed. I got up and walked downstairs. The kids were playing in the living room so I asked, "Where's Daddy?"

Mary pointed to the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen where Jess was opening the card on the flowers I sent… from a secret admirer.

"Who are they from," Sam asked.

Jess smiled, "A secret admirer."

Dean shot Sam a glare before Sam got defensive, "Dean! It wasn't me! I swear!"

Dean looked beyond mad. He and Jess had just gotten together and now I sent her false lover-flowers.

"Sam," Dean growled. "What did I tell you?"

"Dean, I swear to," Sam started but was cut off when Dean grabbed him and pushed him up the wall.

o.0.o Jess POV o.0.o

Great. Just great. Alex was trying to pull Dean off her husband when I said, "Get off him. I know who sent the flowers. Why would you care though?"

Dean shifted a glance toward me. We were still not telling Alex and Sam we were a couple as you can tell.

Dean let go of Sam, who fell to the floor followed by storming upstairs. Alex went to Sam to double check that he was still breathing as I calmly said, "I'm going to put these in my room."

I walked upstairs and entered my bedroom. I no sooner put the flowers on my dresser and I heard, "Who are they from?"

I turned around and found Dean standing behind me. "That wasn't really you down there, was it," I asked. "You were just acting, right?"

"I told Sam not to mess in my business, so it was kind of me. Not much," he said. He winked at me before adding, "Want to see me?"

I rolled my eyes, "Not now, Dean."

He wrapped his arms around my waist and asked, "So who are they from?"

"Alex sent them," I said simply. "I used the flowers to see the past. She did it."

Dean nodded and I added, "They know we're a couple."

"Can we tell them," he begged.

"Nope. We know they know so we should use it against them."

He arched an eyebrow, "How?"

"I have my ways," I said.

He was about to reply when we heard a knock on the door, "Jess? Is Dean in there?"

We both stared at each other before Dean went to the opposite side of the room just in time and I said, in an angry tone, "He was just leaving."

Dean stomped out and past Alex who was in the doorway. She looked at me and I pretended to 'calm down'. "What's up," I asked and sat on the bed.

"Sam and I give up. We know you two are together again," she said and came in the room, shutting the door behind her. I pretended I didn't know what she was talking about.

She sighed and rolled her eyes before sitting on the bed next to me. "I won't tell Sam. We can let the boys decide who should give in first," she offered. "But come on. We are way more mature then them! Plus, I want details."

She smiled at me and I had to give in. I wanted to tell someone so badly. "Okay, okay," I admitted. "We're a couple."

"Spill," Alex said and sat on the bed across from me. I told her everything you guys already know, then some.

"I asked him if he loved me and he nodded. It was like time was frozen," I told her. "Then I reached up and gave him a peck on the mouth. It was like something out of a movie, Lex. He looked at me and kissed me so hard I thought I was seeing stars. Then we-"

"I don't need full details," Alex said with a half mock-disgust and half-laughter.

"We didn't do that," I told her. It was true: we didn't. "We caught up on lost time by talking." I rolled my eyes and told her the rest.
