Dad held me as I clutched Hope while he walked into the room. Dean wasn't far behind holding our bags. Dad put me down on the bed but I gave him my puppy dog look and he chuckled picking me back up.
"I'm here little moose." He promised kissing me on the forehead.
"I love you daddy."
He smiled sitting on the bed as he put me in his lap. He took Hope from me and started playing with me as he kept her out of my reach. I kept trying to get her but dad kept her just out of reach and kept me in his lap. I could hear Dean laughed quietly as it was going on while doing something on dad's computer.
"Daddy! Give me Hope! Please!" I begged.
He put Hope on his head and looked down at me.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." He smiled.
"Daddy!"
I reached for Hope but he sat up straight just keeping it out of my reach again.
"I don't have Hope." He told me.
I pouted crossing my arms. He laughed at me. He took Hope off his head and handed her to me. I took her hugging her tightly.
"Thank you daddy."
He hugged me then put me down on the bed. I sat there playing with her as they talked quietly.
"Daddy."
He looked over at me.
"Can we go to the park?"
"Soon, I promise little moose."
I gave him that look. I learned to use it to my advantage.
"Alyssa Mary Winchester. Don't give me that look."
"But daddy…"
He looked at Dean only getting a shrug in return. He sighed.
"Alright. I'll take you to the park, but only for a little."
"Yes! Thank you daddy!" I jumped up hugging him.
He chuckled picking me up and kissing me on the forehead.
"I can't say no to a puppy dog look or my little moose."
"Hey." Dean called.
Dad looked at him and he tossed him his keys.
"You sure Dean?" Dad asked.
"I'm sure, just don't scratch it." He warned.
"Thank you Uncle Dean." I smiled.
"Sure thing kiddo. You and Sammy have fun."
"Ok."
Dad shook his head before he walked out the door taking me to the park.

Sam's POV
I stood to the side with my hands in my pockets watching as she ran around. There weren't many kids at all and it was after school. Though it didn't bother Alyssa that many people weren't around it was still weird. Now she ran over to me still holding that toy close. It was only a simple toy I got her but she still loved it and trusted no one but me with it.
"Can you hold Hope daddy?" She asked.
"Why little moose?"
"Because."
She didn't say more. Sometimes she gave reason sometimes she didn't.
"Ok. I'll take her."
She held out the toy and I took it. Immediately she ran off and kept playing. I smiled happy she could be like this not caring about what I do everyday.
"You're very good with your daughter." A voice said.
I looked seeing a woman come over with a small smile but looked tired.
"It doesn't take much." I told her watching Alyssa again.
She started talking to a boy still smiling happily.
"Looks like she's making friends with Dylan."
"He yours?" I asked.
"He is. He's a handful." She sighed.
"Where is everyone?" I questioned.
She was silent. I looked back over at her. Sadness had filled her eyes.
"Most of them in the hospital."
"Why?"
"Something is going around. Kids getting hit with this sickness."
I now looked at her confused. The case we had picked up said adults were falling ill. Nothing about kids.
"What do you mean?"
"Some sickness is spreading to the kids and adults as well in this town."
"Kids too?"
"There are trying to keep it out of the paper. Didn't you know?"
"No." I muttered looking back at Alyssa worry crossing me. "I only knew about the adults."
Whatever we were hunting might go for her too.
