Sam drew another devil's trap. He stepped off the chair and looked around the house. He wondered if he should draw another Key of Solomon to be safe. He wanted to protect his niece; he smiled. He loved saying that.

"You done? Cause if you do anymore, I won't be able to move," Ruby said smiling.

"Sorry, Ruby but this isn't about you. It's about protecting Sloane."

"Dean and Peri should have been here by now."

"They'll get here. Now, for that Key of Solomon."

Ruby watched him with a smile on her face. A lock of his hair fell over his forehead. She walked over and pushed it aside. Sam looked up at her. He smiled and pulled her close. He kissed her.

"What if Dean finds us?"

"I don't care."

Ruby kissed him back. Sam wrapped his arms around her. He ran his hands up her shirt.

Sloane took that moment to start to cry. Sam pulled away and turned and looked at his niece. She had kicked off the blanket covering her. He walked over and picked her up, he wrapped the blanket around her.

"Shh, Sloane. Mommy and Daddy will be back soon," Sam cooed.

No matter how much he cooed, Sloane wouldn't stop crying.

Dean drove up to the house. He shut off the car and slammed his hands on the steering wheel. Tears were forming in his eyes. He thought about Peri fighting a battle that wasn't hers; he should have never touched her.

"Dammit!"

He climbed out. He walked to the trunk and opened it. He wanted to see if Peri had left anything for their child in there. He stepped as the realization hit. He was a father. He was now responsible for the life of a helpless baby. Again.

"God, it's like Sam all over again. Except this time it's my kid," Dean said.

He ran a hand over his face and tried to take deep breaths. He then searched though the bags. He found one that held baby clothing and bottles. He found another one that held a pack of diapers.

"Diaper duty again. Fun times."

He transferred everything to the impala. He checked the car for any scratches. He then turned and looked at the house. He sighed and walked up to the door. As he got closer he heard a baby cry. He ran into the house.

He saw Sam holding Sloane. Sam looked at Dean and smiled.

"Want to hold your daughter?" Sam asked.

Sam watched as Dean walked over. He placed Sloane in her father's arms. The baby stopped crying. Sam looked at the door and frowned.

"Where's Peri?" Sam asked.

"I..." Dean trailed off.

"Where's Persephone?" Ruby asked.

Dena felt more tears coming. He looked down at Sloane. She was perfect. Five little fingers on each hand.

"Hey, Sloane, I'm your Daddy. I... Your Momma made me promise to watch over you. And she told me to tell you that she loves you... She..."

Sam watched as his older brother held Sloane and broke down. He was shocked. He could count on one hand the number of times Dean had cried. Really cried. Ruby walked over to Dean and hugged him. Surprisingly, he took her comfort.

"She's gone," Dean gone.

"It's alright. Sam grab your stuff. Dean, you have to get Sloane to somewhere safe," Ruby said.

"What about you?" Sam asked.

"Someone has to slow them down."

Dean barely knew what was happening around him. All he knew was that he had made a promise and he needed to keep it. No matter how much it hurt him to do so.
