A/N: When I first started this story it was just going to be John recalling Dean's life, but since this mostly Sam's story I decided to let him tell it. This starts right where chapter 6 left off.

Sam sat by Dean's beside watching his brother, It bothered him to see Dean so still, to see the vent breathing for his brother, and him hooked to all those tubes and wires. Sam remembered reading that people in coma could ofter hear so Sam never stopped talking to Dean.

"Hey Dean, you really need to wake up. I just told you every embarrassing thing that happened to me at college So wake up and start teasing me would you, You always told me that it was part of the big brother's code."

"Big sisters code to."

Sam was startled and looked up. He saw Dr. Lisa Brennan come through the door. Dr. Brennan was Dean's main doctor.

"Sorry didn't mean to startle you. I just came to check on my favourite patient."

"It's okay and you wouldn't be saying that if Dean was awake."

"Not the world's most cooperative patient is he."

"That's an understatement. You would probaby be threatening to put him back in a coma."

"Dean are you just going to lie there and take that."

"You said big sister's code, are you the big or little sister."

"Big sister, I used to love to tease Amanda."

"I'm sorry did you say used to."

"Yes we had a falling out, She met someone, I really did not like. I told her what I though of him and she told me to mind my own buisness, and that she was old enough to make her own decisions."

"That sound's familar. It was like that with me and Dean to."

"Your lucky to be close to your brother. I really miss Amanda."

"You should call or go see your sister, talk to her while you still can." As Sam said this Lisa noticed that he was completely focused on Dean.

"I want to," replied Lisa."

"Why do I hear a but in there?" asked Sam.

"Because there is one. I was right about this guy. He used to hit her. I was proud of Amanda when she got the courage to leave him. Its been almost 2 years since we spoke. I picked up the phone so many times but I can't find the words, everytime I try to think of what to say it seems that I's saying I told you so and I know that she would not like that. I'm guessing my sister thinks if she calls me that's exactly what shes going to hear. I'm sorry Sam, my problems are the last thing you need to hear."

"It' ok, believe me I know exactly how your feeling. Dean and I didn't talk for almost 4 years."

Lisa was shocked Sam seemed so close to his brother.

"Yeah. It's true. Dr. Brennan, Dean is the best big brother a guy could ask for, I just wish it hadn't take me so long to realize that."

"Tell me about him.?" asked Dr. Brennan. "Im mean if you want to." Lisa hoped that he would.

"My dad told me that Dean wanted a little brother. Dad told me how happy Dean was when they told him that he was going to be a big brother. Dad said right from the start Dean told mom she was having a boy. He even asked if he could name me, I'm glad they didn't let him."

"Why what name did he pick"

"Gargamel."

"Gargamel?" repeated Lisa trying unsuccessfully not to laugh.

"Yeah he was a big fan of the smurfs. Dean's named after our father and I'm named after my grandfathters. Dad said after I was born Dean tried to take me in for show and tell. He was so insistent that he said mom got in touch with his teacher to get permission. He was always protective of me. Then there was the fire that took our mom."

"I'm sorry."

"No need to aologize, the night of the fire Dean carried out the front door, from that point on he appointed himself my protector, like it was his job, his responsibility to keep me safe. After the fire my father had hard time dealing with things. Dean looked after me. I never had a bully pick on me in school. There were a couple of times that kids tried but once they found out I was Dean Chesterwin's brother they were afraid to come near me. Dean made sure that I got up for school, and made sure my homework was done, he came to all my school fuctions and soccor games.

"Where was your father." thought Lisa

"Now I now that your probaby wondering what about Dad. He was there, I don't mean to make him sound like a bad father, he wasn't. I realize that know. He just didn't know how to handle the grief, he was also a single father trying to make ends met, he ah... he worked alot. Dean had to grow up to fast. He practically raised me.

"Dad and I had some battles when I was growing up. Because of our family businss we had to move around alot. We changed school's so many times. I was always the new kid and it was hard to make friends. If I made a friend we had to leave. I wanted a more normal life. I wanted to stay in one place for more than a year. I did not want to follow my dad and brother I wanted to go to school. I got into Stanford, full scholarship."

"Wow that's no easy task."

"Dean always used to tease me that he picked the wrong character to name me after, said he should have called me Brainy Smurf. I told Dean first and we got into an argument he didn't want me to leave. I told him I was old enough to make my own decisions."

"Is that what caused you two not to speak."

"No was acutually made up, but when I told Dad, he did not take it well when I told him I did not want to join the family business. We had a bad argument. We both said things we did not mean and I left. Dean always tried to mediate between me and Dad. This time though he was quiet. I thought he was siding with Dad and I got mad at him all over again. He tried to call me a few times but I refused to answer. I forgot that when Dean deals with things that upset him internally. He goes quiet. He was upset that his baby brother was leaving. I tried to call him a couple of times but he didn't answer. After we were talking I asked him why. He said he was afraid that I was calling to tell him to stop calling so he didn't answer. Eventually we both stopped trying.

"Can I ask how you repaired things."

"Dad and Dean are bounty hunters. They were working separate jobs and Dad disappeared when he was tracking the de... criminal. Dean came and got me, to help find Dad. When we got back...my girlfriend she was um she was murdered." Sam said in a rush. "I joined Dean on the road I wanted to find out who did this to her. We found dad, then we had the accident."

"Again Sam, I'm really sorry about your girlfriend." Lisa said as she took Dean's vitals. "Are you ready for some good news."

"Definetly."

"Dean's temperature is down to 99. It looks like there antibiotics are working."

"Good job. Keep fighting Vanity."

"Vanity?"

"Yeah when Dean called me brainy I would counter and call him Vanity smurf. You know know the one that was always looking in the mirror."

"Can I ask what if you had a nickname for your father."

"That would be Grumpy."

Lisa and Sam both chucked. To Sam it felt good.

"Dr. Brennan, about your sister dont worry to much about want to say. Say what's in your heart."

"Thanks Sam. I'll be back to check on Dean tomorrow .

At that moment the orderly wheeled John back in the room.

,"I better get going my shifted 15 minutes ago."

"Sorry for keeping you."

"No worries, Brainy, I let you share Vanity's good news with Grumpy here."

As Lisa left the room she could hear Sam telling his father that Dean's temperature had gone down and John asking Sam just what he had been telling people.

Lisa thought alot about the Sam and Dean on the way home and when she got there got went straight to the phone and dialed. She almost hung up when she heard Amanda pick up the phone and say hello, but then she remembered Sam's advice speak from the heart. She heard Amanda say hello again. She took a deep breath and answered.

"Hi Amanda, its Lisa."

A/N 2: I hope I didnt make it sound like Sam and Dean's not talking was all Sam's fault. If it does sound that way it was defintelty not my intention. Please read and review.
