It really must have been a long day for Dean cause he didn't even make it to finish his bath. Poor little guy was all tuckered out. I finished cleaning him and carefully changed him into a diaper. It was still just too hot to sleep in anything else. I placed him in the crib next to his favorite blanket and maneuvered his binky into his mouth. He sucked gently on it while he slept. He was definitely done for the night. But I was so glad he was finally seeking me for comfort again. After his explosion earlier, it was so nice just to sit and hold my baby brother close.

The ring of my cell phone interrupted my thoughts. I quickly took it outside, so as not to wake Dean up. It was the paramedic. I guess Jess had woken up. She was stable, but very weak. I would bring Dean to see her in the morning. Today has been eventful enough for the little guy.

I carefully shut the door behind me as I enter back into the motel room. Dean is undisturbed and sleeping soundly still. I notice that my stomach is growling a bit, so I go to the fridge to finish my salad. I hear Dean fidget a bit, but he's still out like a light.

I finish my food and start cleaning the place up a bit. There's really not a reason for us to stay. I solved the case. But there was something inside me begging to stay just a bit longer. That something was the thought of Jess. Not even just the fact that I had feelings for her, but that Dean was also taken with her. He never bonds with anyone well. I'm still trying to warm him up to Cas. But he seems to really care about Jessica, and I really don't want to be the one to take that away from him. Maybe we would stay just a bit longer. Make sure she's okay. Plus, it's not like there's another case on my radar. We could make Springfield our home base. It's settled then. I will call the hotel manager in the morning to extend our stay.
