Dean shut the impala off after parking it in front of Bobby's. He climbed out of the car and looked at the house as the midday sun shone on it. He had put off driving to Bobby's as long as he could but now he needed to come back and check on Adora. He slammed the door and walked over to the steps and took them two at a time. He walked up to the door and knocked on it. He waited. A few moments later the door opened and Bobby stood there holding a fussing Adora in his arms.

Bobby watched as the weariness and hurt that had been on Dean's features disappeared as the older Winchester looked at his daughter. Bobby handed Addie to her dad and watched as the little girl stopped fussing and actually smiled at her father. Dean smiled back and Bobby found himself smiling as well. He moved and watched as Dean carried Addie into the house whispering and talking to her. He closed the door and knew that whatever had happened had to be bad. Dean had showed up without Sam or Kat. He walked into the living room and saw Dean standing by the window bouncing Addie in his arms.

"Were you giving Grandpa Bobby a hard time, sweetie?" he asked her kissing her on the head. Addie looked at him her green eyes searching her father's face. She then smiled and Dean felt his heart swell with love. Just holding and looking at his little girl made him forget all the horrible things that had happened the night before and it gave him hope. It gave him the hope that maybe one day this whole mess between him and Sam could be fixed.

"So, you going to tell me what happened out there?" Bobby asked crossing his arms on his chest and waiting.

"Can you give me a few minutes with Addie first?" Dean asked kissing his daughter on the head and feeling her soft hair against his chin. He held her close and looked at Bobby. He knew that Bobby was not going to be happy with how things would turn out.

"Sure. I just want you to know that Kat isn't answering her phone anymore."

"Not surprised about that. She is determined to be the one that kills Lilith."

Bobby didn't say anything and left Dean alone with Addie for a few moments. He knew that Dean wanted to spend some time with his daughter. Bobby knew that it was because Dean felt guilty about not being around Adora more in the previous months. Bobby walked into the kitchen and started to make some coffee. He had a feeling that they would need it.


Kat sipped her coffee and stretched standing outside her car on the side of the road. She was about three hours away from St. Mary's convent. She heard her neck crack and her muscles loosen up. She was ready to fight Lilith but was just waiting for nightfall. She looked at her watch and sighed. That meant that she would be sitting around for another few hours with nothing to do. She pulled out her cell phone and considered calling Sam to see if he was alright but she knew that that wouldn't end well. She took a long sip of her coffee and wondered if maybe she shouldn't call Dean. She dismissed that thought at once knowing that Dean would try to order her back to Bobby's. She leaned against the car and looked around her at the trees and scenery. She knew that there was a chance she may not walk out of the fight with Lilith alive. She felt tears come to her eyes.

She thought about Adora and how if she died her daughter would grow up without her. She knew she could trust Dean to love Addie and raise her right but the thought of her precious little girl growing up without her just cut her down to the core. She told herself that ridding the world of Lilith was for the greater good; it would probably save millions of people. However, if she died the only person who would mourn her loss their whole life was her little girl. She wiped her tears away and dug in her pocket pulling out her cell phone. She flipped it open and dialled Dean's number. She needed to tell him and Addie goodbye. She listened as it rang and rang. She sighed when his voicemail came on.

"Hey, Dean, it's Kat, I just... I just wanted to tell you that I love you. I know I have no right to say it still but I can still feel love for you. I know that the chances of me getting out of this are nil and I need you to know that I trust you to take care of Addie. I know you love her, Dean and it was wrong to stay away from you for so long. I should have made sure that Adora knew you sooner. I am so-," She swallowed the sob when she heard the message cut off. She flipped her phone shut and shoved it back in pocket. She told herself that hopefully that would not be the last time Dean would hear her voice.


Sam winced and looked at the blood in the mug. He then looked at the dead women. He closed his eyes and reminded himself that there had been a demon in there possessing the young college girl. He grabbed the mug and downed the blood that was in it and made a face. He wanted to hate the taste as the thick liquid flowed down his throat but he couldn't. He loved the taste and the feel of it. He opened his eyes and grabbed a full mug that was under the wrist of the girl. He placed the empty mug in its place. He looked at the girl's body swinging back and forth and knew that if Dean was there to witness this he would have killed Sam on the spot. Then again, maybe his older brother was past caring now when it came to Sam. Sam shook his head and drank the blood in the mug trying to form a plan in his head.

He sat there in the dim of the abandoned house and wondered how he was going to get to Lilith and do what he had to without Ruby. He wanted to hate Kat for killing Ruby but he had now realized and come to terms with the truth; she had been using him just as much as he had been using her. Ruby had been planning on using Sam to kill Lilith and Sam had used Ruby as a means to get close to Lilith. Sam knew that in the end Ruby's death didn't mean much to him. It just meant that he had lost his supplier of demon blood and his only link to find Lilith. However, he had managed to figure out how to get demon blood and get to Lilith without Ruby.

He finished the blood in the mug and then changed it with another full one. He heard Ruby's voice in his head tell him that he needed to make sure to drink enough demon blood to be able to exorcise and kill Lilith. He drank more blood and told himself that he was not going to throw up. He was keeping all the blood down; he was going to need it. He looked up at the body and could actually smell the blood still in it. He sighed and realized he was going to have to grab a pail; the mugs weren't going to be enough.


Dean paced back and forth. He turned and looked at Addie sleeping in her crib and then saw Bobby standing there waiting for him to go on. The problem was that Dean didn't have any more to say to him. He had told Bobby everything that had happened with Sam and Kat at the hotel. He leaned against the desk and saw the way Bobby was looking at him.

"What?" Dean asked.

"Do not give me that look or tone, boy. You know what. I told you to bring your brother back and make sure that Sam knows he is still a part of this family," Bobby told him.

"Maybe Sam doesn't want to be a part of this family. I mean he doesn't even care about what he did. He walked out, Bobby. He just looked at me there and left!"

"Well, boohoo."

"What?"

"Are you under the impression that family's supposed to make you feel good? Make you an apple pie, maybe? They're supposed to make you miserable! That's why they're family!"

"I told him if he walked out, that he couldn't come back and he left anyway!"

"You sound like a whiny brat," Bobby paused, "No, actually you sound like your father; a coward."

Dean looked at Bobby shocked, "Dad was a lot of things Bobby, but a coward wasn't one of them."

"Really? He would rather push Sam away then reach out to him. Dean, you are a better man than your daddy ever was. Do yourself a favour and don't make his mistakes. Do you want it to be Addie walking away from you nineteen years from now because you couldn't tell her how much you loved her or how proud you were of her?"

Bobby watched as Dean turned around and looked at the window. Bobby cursed when he blinked and then Dean was gone. He stood there and sighed. He knew what had happened. The angels had come and gotten Dean. And that meant only one thing; the big battle was about to go down and Bobby had no clue how to help Sam, Dean and Kat. He turned and looked at Addie.

"You know, if you even have a chance at surviving this family, you are going to need to learn very quickly one important rule; your parents and Uncle Sam are insane," he told Adora watching her sleep. He then turned and walked over to his desk with his books. Maybe he would find a magic fix it all spell; he doubted he would but at least it gave him something to do.


Dean turned and looked around the gold trimmed bright room. He saw the large paintings and realized that they were from the bible. He turned around and saw Castiel standing behind him. He jumped a little and looked at Castiel. He waved his arms around the room.

"What is all this, Cas?" Dean asked.

"It's almost time, Dean," Castiel said firmly.

"Time for what? And why am I here, Cas?"

"All in good time."

"Cas! Dammit," Dean said as Castiel disappeared. He turned and looked around the room and sighed. Yeah, this was going to get old real fast; in fact Dean could almost feel the fun being sucked out of the room.


Kat parked her car on the side of the road to St. Mary's convent. She shut her car off and climbed out. She grabbed her bag and swung it across her chest. She had some goodies in there that the demons working for Lilith would absolutely love; some bottles of holy water, and bags filled with salt and small spells ensuring that any bag that hit a demon would send said demon back to Hell. She made a mental note to tell Dean about those; that was if she made it through this battle.

She walked down the driveway not scared at all by the night even though she had about a mile of driveway to cover. She was comforted by the fact that even though she was walking to a place that would be full of demons, she was not useless. She had powers and she could protect herself with. She listened as her boots crunched the gravel beneath her feet. She listened past them as well to try and see if she could hear anything. She didn't but she did notice that the night was too quiet. There were no crickets or owls; the night was silent. She knew that was nature's way of warning that there was danger ahead. She kept going though; she was not afraid of the danger and knew that it was up to her to finish this. Lilith wasn't going to know what hit her.
