Chapter 6
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR NOT COMING TO THANKSGIVING!" Claire yelled into her phone.
"Kitty, you don't need to yell." Amy answered. "I've got stuff to do with school. I'm sorry."
"Kat, it's you're favorite holiday. Food, lots of food. How can you not show up to this? John is going to be here. You love John." Claire replied frustrated.
"Claire, I'm sorry." Amy replied back.
"Fine, then you might as well know." Claire angrily responded.
"Know what?" Amy asked confused and interested.
"I'm carrying Dean's kid. That's why Sam, Dean, and I haven't really been talking. It's been roughly a month. I told Sam first, but I wasn't really sure. Now, I'm sure because Eva had me take a pregnancy test. I have to tell dad and I wanted you to be there with me. But I guess that I don't really matter." Claire answered angrily.
There was silence on both ends. Claire was waiting for Amy to response.
"Forget it. I'll tell dad by myself. Have fun at school. Bye Amy." Claire sighed.
Claire waited another minute before hanging up the phone.

After Amy's last class a couple of hours later, Amy was still trying to get a hold of Claire, but keep getting the answering machine. After the hundredth time, Amy called Sam.
"Hi Amy." Sam answered.
"Hi Sam. You need to go be with Claire. I've got a feeling that she's going to do something stupid." Amy stated worried.
"I'll try, but I don't know where she is." Sam replied.
"She's probably at the house." Amy replied walking into her dorm.
"I'm at your house and she isn't here." Sam reported. "So, I'm going to call her and found out where she is."
"May not answer because I've been trying to get hold of her." Amy replied sadly.
"She always answers for you. What did you two fight about?" Sam asked finding it weird.
"I'm just going to kill your brother the next time that I see him. We fought about me not coming to Thanksgiving." Amy answered putting her books and backpack down next to her desk.
"Tell me she isn't really…" Sam began.
"With child? Sorry, but she is." Amy interrupted.
"I may kill him first why aren't you coming to Thanksgiving? It's your favorite holiday." Sam asked.
"I've got schoolwork. Tell everyone that I'm sorry." Amy answered. "Now, will you please go be with my sister?"
"Yes I will. Have fun at school." Sam answered.
"Shall try. Bye." Amy replied sitting down on her bed.
"Bye." Sam replied back before Amy hung up the phone.
Amy lay down and hoped that her sister was all right. If she does anything stupid, I'm going to hurt her. Amy thought, as she lay there worried.

"Has she come home?" Sam asked walking in.
"No." Dean replied not looking up from the television.
Sam groaned and hit the family room wall. Logan and John walked in, looking unhappy.
"Don't destroy my house." Logan commented.
"What's wrong with you?" Sam asked.
"Did you find Claire?" John asked instead of answering.
Sam shook his head, looking completely worried.
"Then we need to get this hunt done before the demon finds her." John remarked to Logan.
Logan agreed and turned the television off. "Dean, you're going to be bite."
"Excuse me?" Dean asked looking up at him.
"You heard him Dean. We need to get this Demon before it gets Claire." John answered.
"All right." Dean replied getting off the couch.
"What am I suppose to do?" Sam asked.
"I think you should stay here, incase she shows up at home. I'm calling Julie to get her and Eva's help, plus I can find out if Claire is over there." Logan answered.
"What demon?" Sam asked.
"It's called a Toronuh. The demon uses its specialized claw to insert into its victim, sucking out their life force and feeding on strong emotions. Unfortunately it has the ability to make themselves appear as something other than it is, which is how it gets close. If Claire is really upset, she'll attract it to her location and it would be best to have someone here to protect her if need be. When the demon is focused on its victim, there is a grace period where you can see its true beastly form and you can kill it with silver, but just…be careful, Sam." John answered as Dean and Logan headed out of the room.
Sam nodded as he followed them to the front door.

A two hours later, they walked back into the house. Claire still hadn't show up at home. Sam was completely freaking out.
Logan then called Amy. "Amy, Claire is missing and I can't report her missing until 24 hours. So could you call her friends and find out if she's with one of them? Oh, there was a demon but we took care of it hopefully before it got to Claire."
"I'll call around dad and let you know what I find out." Amy replied.
"Thanks. Talk to you soon." Logan replied back before hanging up the phone.
Logan wrung his hands as he fretted over his youngest daughter's safety. John came over to him and gently clapped him on the back.
"She's going to be all right. She wouldn't leave without saying goodbye to Sam." John said trying to comfort him.
"I hope you're right." Logan replied back moving to the kitchen to make coffee.
The Windchesters followed and they sat in silence until the house phone went off.
"Claire!" Sam hoped as he answered the phone.
"Sorry Sam. Could you hand the phone to my dad?" Amy asked.
Sam handed the phone to Logan and headed up to Claire's room.
"Hello?" Logan stated.
"No one has seen her dad, and Claire won't answer her phone. I'm sorry." Amy sadly told him.
"Keep trying." Logan replied.
"I will. Dad, are you going to be all right?" Amy asked worried about him as well as Claire.
"I'm all right. I've got John and his sons here." Logan answered calm.
"All right dad. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Bye." Amy replied trying to comfort him.
"Bye Amy." Logan replied back then he hung up the phone.
Logan returned to the kitchen and finished off his coffee before heading into his study. John began to follow when he noticed that Sam was sitting on the stairs staring between something in his hand and the front door. Dean stayed in the kitchen, slipping his coffee that was more of beer than coffee.
"Sam, get some sleep." John stated before continuing to follow Logan.
Sam sighed as Claire walked through the front door. Sam quickly got off the stairs and went straight to Claire, grabbing her arm.
"Sam…" Claire stated to say when Sam kissed her, sliding one hand into her hair.
Dean saw this and stared before realizing that Claire was actually here. "Dad! Logan!"
John and Logan came out of the study looking at Dean as he pointed to the front door. Sam and Claire were still lip locked.
Sam pulled a little bit away. "Don't you ever disappear like that again."
Claire softly smiling, she quickly kissed Sam. "I'm sorry for worrying you."
Sam smiled. Logan coughed to get their attention.
"Are you two love birds done or should we leave you alone?" Dean asked smirking.
Claire rolled her eyes. "Dean you're such a jerk."
"Where have you been?" Logan ordered.
Claire pulled away from Sam and started heading up the stairs.
"Claire!" Logan yelled.
"I have to use the bathroom. I've been walking around town. I went to the mall, but felt terrible being there without Amy. Now you know. I'm using the bathroom and I'll come back down, so that you can yell at me." Claire responded as she continued to head to her joined bathroom.
The guys waited. Sam wondering if he was going to get yelled at and a lecture for kissing Claire in front of them. Claire walked back down, but instead of stopping she went straight for the kitchen and pulled out the first aid kit.
"What happen?" Sam asked greatly concerned.
"Share Bear I love that you're concern about me, but I can take care of myself. It's just a small cut that I got from falling out of a tree." Claire answered smiling as she place a band-aid on her left hand.
"When did you fall out of a tree?" Sam asked still concerned.
"Mmm… about fifteen minutes ago." Claire answered putting the first aid kit away and grabbing a mug.
Sam shook his head and Claire started making hot chocolate.
"Claire explain why you were out all day on a school night?" Logan asked angrily.
"Amy and I got into a fight. She's not coming to Thanksgiving because she's got school stuff. Plus I needed to be away from the supernatural world for a few hours. Next time, I'll just run away so that you don't have to ever deal with me again. Does that work for you dad?" Claire answered
"No it doesn't. Your mother would kill me." Logan answered still angry. "Your grounded for the next two days."
"Do I still have to go to school?" Claire asked.
"Yes, you do." Logan answered.
"Alright. Hope you know that my grounding means I'll be around you for the next 48 hours. You're not going to like it." Claire replied grabbing her mug of hot chocolate and heading to the family room.
Logan groan and went to his study. John followed Logan while the boys followed Claire. Claire popped down in the middle of the couch with the remote and pressed play.
"What are we watching?" Sam asked taking a seat next to her.
"You'll see." Claire answered.
"Tell us of I'm turning it off." Dean replied sitting down in the love seat.
"DeeDee the guest bedroom is across the hall. This is my home not yours. Meaning I have control over the TV." Claire replied back glaring at him.
Dean grunted and looked at the television as it started playing the opening music to Meet in St Louis. Dean grunted again then left the room, leaving Sam and Claire alone. They both watched in silence.
"Claire Bear?" Sam spoke looking at her.
"Yes?" Claire responded not looking away from the movie.
"We need to talk." Sam replied back.
Claire looked at Sam. "What about Share Bear?"
"Us." Sam answered.
"What about us?" Claire asking looking back at the television.
"We kissed, why you disappeared, you and the baby, us dating..." Sam trailed off turning and looking at the television.
Claire turned and faced Sam. "You've been talking to Amy. Fine, let's talk."
Sam got the hurt in Claire voice, but nodded as he turn to face her.
"I disappeared because I needed to think and be away from everyone. You'e barely been talking to me. Me and the baby are fine and I plan on telling everyone at Thanksgiving. I frankly, like that we kissed and don't mind us dating. You, however do mind. Anything else?" Claire asked in the 'please can we not talk about this' tone.
"Why are you upset about this? Do you really want to tell everyone about the baby at Thanksgiving? Yes I talked with Amy, but she was concerned about you. I went out looking for you right after I got off the phone with her. I think we should date even if you are carrying Dean's kid." Sam answered.
Claire turned back to the television. "I don't want to talk about the baby, Amy or anything involving the supernatural world. I don't want to date you."
"Why not?" Sam asked.
"You're dating me because I'm carrying Dean's child. You feel like you need to be the responsible one, since we both know that Dean is going to ran from this. I'm not a little girl anymore not do I need protection." Claire snapped looking at Sam.
Sam looked sad and turn is attention to the television. Claire sighed then took Sam's hand. Sam look at Claire. Her head was down and she was drawing shapes on his hand.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. I just... just want you to date me for me, not for your brother." Claire spoke not looking up.
Sam placed his hand under her chin and caused her to look at him. Claire looked like she was about to cry. Sam then kiss her. "That would be if I wanted to marry you. I'm doing this because I want to."
"But you're the on that sa..." Claire began, but Sam was kissing her again.
John cleared his throat. Sam pulled away and they both looked at him.
"Hi John." Claire spoke.
"Are you all right?" John asked.
"Sam is trying to make me feel better, but it's not working. So no I'm not all right." Claire answered.
"Follow me." John replied.
"Do you want me or can Sam come too?" Claire asked.
"Just you." John answered heading out of the room.
Claire and Sam sat there.
"He's going to come back in here if you don't go." Sam stated turning to face the television.
Claire nodded and got off the couch.
"Don't move. I want to continue talking." Claire said kissing chin quickly then heading out of the room.

"What's going on? And why are we in the backyard?" Claire asked John as he pushed her outside.
John pulled out his phone and dialed a number then handled Claire his phone. "Talk."
Claire put the phone to her ear and waited.
"Hello?" A familiar voice spoke.
"Mom?" Clare asked surprised.
"Claire, what are you doing with John's phone?" Christina asked.
"John gave me the phone and said talk." Claire answered.
"Claire is there something wrong?" Christina asked.
"There's a lot wrong. Amy and I aren't talking, Sam feels responsible to date me, Dean got me pregnant, dad is himself - meaning his not really caring about me. And I think you should talk with John now before he goes and hurts Dean." Claire answered grabbing John's arm.
"Okay. First, who all knows?" Christina asked remaining calm.
"Sam, Eva, Amy, and now you and John." Claire answered fighting back tears.
"Okay. Hand John his phone." Christina replied.
Claire handed John his phone, and wiped her face. And all claire could make out was John saying okay several times. Claire held out her hand and John returned her the phone.
"Mom?" Claire spoke.
"Yes sweetheart?" Christina responded.
"WHy aren't you here? NAd why did you have John lie to us all?" Claire asked trying not to be angry.
"It's to protect my family and John's sons. Now, promise that you won't tell anyone about me." Christina answered in a loving tone.
"I promise, but I can't keep it long from Amy." Claire replied.
"I know, but Amy will know soon. I love you and try to be careful. Your father does care about you." Christina replied.
"I love you too and shall try. Here's John." Claire replied back handing John back his phone. "I'm going to go back inside since it's cold. Please don't tell anyone about the baby."
John nodded and Claire headed back inside.

"I see you put in another movie." Claire commented taking her spot on the couch.
"I did." Sam replied.
"What's wrong with you?" Claire asked.
"You don't believe me." Sam answered.
Claire kissed him. "I believe you. So are we or aren't we dating?"
Sam kissed her and pulled her closer. "We are."
Claire smiled and snuggled closer. Sam grabbed a blanket and threw it on her.
"Why did you pick this movie?" Claire asked yawning.
"You don't like LIttle Shop of Horrors?" Sam asked smiling as he got more comfortable.
Claire adjusted to Sam's movement. "You know that I don't like this movie."
"Sorry. Do you want me to put in something else?" Cam asked.
Claire shook her head. "You put up with all of my movies. I can put up with this one."
"All right." Sam replied back.
"Why isn't DeeDee in here?" Claire asked after a few minutes.
"I don't know." Sam answered.
Claire just nodded. Sam knew that she was falling asleep, so her let her.
