Returning From The Silence

Chapter 6

Bobby and Missouri were the first to arrive once everyone was seated Sam started the explanation for the get together.

Sam "Well the reason we called is because a demon attacked while we were at Jess's parents house and she pinned us all to the wall and took Dean into another room. They were gone for about six hours and when she came back Dean was following and I thought that Dean was working for her, he asked me to remember how we learned to do the exorcism and he asked me to start so I did, I was waiting for him to stop me when the demon started to get impatient she asked Dean what he was up to"

Dean "I re..re..replied I was wa..wai..waiting for him to fi..fin..finish"

Sam "Then she tried sending me across the room but it didn't work she was starting to get mad, but by that time I had finished the exorcism"

Bobby "Oh you poor lads, are you ok"

Sam "Yeah we had to take Dean to the hospital, the doctor said he has brain damage that is permanent but he didn't want to stay in the hospital so we brought him home"

Bobby "I am sorry I wasn't there for you guys"

Dean "st..st..st..stop it Bo..Bob..Bobby not your fa..fa..fault"

Sam "Dean's right its not your fault, anyway we were doing good got into a routine we had just got home from a walk when John showed up, I told him to get out and he said he was going and was taking Dean with him, I said no and he went to hit me"

Sam had to stop as Dean's breathing had started to increase

Sam "Its ok Dean he's not here your safe, I'm safe and so is Jess"

Jess moved to stand next to them and put her hand on Dean's shoulder in reassurance.

Sam "Anyway Dean got in the way and took the hit, me and John argued some more then he went to attack again and Dean stopped him, and told him in no uncertain terms if he ever tried to hurt me again he would kill him, he left after that, then I called you"

Bobby "I can't believe that man"

Dean "Sa..Sa..Sammy, ti..ti..tired"

Sam "Why don't you go lay down for awhile do you need your meds"

Dean just nodded took his meds and went to lie down.

They were just settling again when there was a knock at the door, Jess got up to answer and walked back in with her parents.

Sam introduced everyone and they all made themselves comfortable, Sam and Bobby started at the beginning and told them everything from the fire that took Sam's mom to Sam leaving for Stanford, Bobby filled in what happened to Dean or what little information he had on that time Sam had just finished telling them how they had found Dean.

Mr Moore "Wow, and you grew up hunting these things"

Sam "Well grew up with John hunting these things Dean protected me from it for as long as he could, but I couldn't keep watching him get hurt on Johns crusade so I had to leave, leaving Dean was the hardest thing I have ever done"

Mrs Moore "Oh sweetie, you poor boys, when did you get to do kid stuff"

Sam "Well Dean made sure I got to do the stuff the other kids did, and always tried to give me everything I needed so I wouldn't feel like the odd kid"

Mrs Moore "What about Dean"

Bobby "Dean didn't get to be a kid he became an adult at the age of four, he became Sam's main carer"

Jess "This explains everything, so Stanford was your chance at normal"

Sam "Yeah, you know I am surprised you haven't left me yet"

Dean "so..so..so..sorry Sa..Sam..Sammy didn't me..me..mean to ru..ru..ruin your nor..nor..normal, Je..Je..Jess ple..ple..please don't le..le..leave Sa..Sa..Sammy"

Jess went up to Dean placed her hands on his shoulders and looked straight into his eyes and said "Never gonna happen, I am staying right here and so are you and so is Sam" she then moved over and hugged Sam to prove her point. Sam helped Dean over to the couch so he could sit down.

Sam "Dean you have nothing to be sorry for you have ruined nothing, you mean everything to me so get that idea out of your head now"

Dean just nodded his head to tired to talk.

Jess "So what do we do now"

Missouri "Well Dean needs to heal, you and Sam need to continue with you lives, you can choose later on if you want to hunt or not, and Dean you can stop that kind of thinking right now"

They all stared at Dean who just stared straight at the floor.

Missouri "Sam is right Dean it is not your fault none of this is so stop thinking like that you are a good person, you are loyal, kind, and would do anything for those you care about, you are not a bad person you are not worthless so get those thoughts outta your head now boy"

Bobby "You are the most stubborn selfless person I have ever met and I am glad I got the chance to have you in my life, I would be proud to call you my boy don't you ever forget that, so get those damn negative thoughts outta your head now boy"

Sam "You are my brother and you raised me I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for you and you don't think I am a bad person do you"

Dean "no..no..no Sa..Sammy"

Sam "Then you can't think you're a bad person either"

Mrs Moore "We have only just met and I can tell you would do anything to protect your brother and my daughter, I know a good person when I see them and you are a good person"

Mr Moore "Well we have a lot to take in we will see you kids next week for lunch your place or ours"

Jess "Ours, thanks for understanding"

Mrs Moore "No problems sweetheart, we will see ourselves out, it was nice to meet you"

And they left once everyone else was seated and everyone had a cup of coffee Missouri asked the question that had been bothering her since she arrived.

Missouri "Sam why did you call your dad John"

Sam didn't need to respond Dean's rapid going into a panic attack at the name dad was enough, it took both Sam and Jess five minutes to calm him down.

Missouri "Never mind I got my answer"

Sam "We no longer have a father"

Bobby "I hate to be the one to say this but John isn't going to let that slide for very long"

Sam "I know but right now my main concern is helping Dean get better, then we can worry about John later"
