Chapter 10.
Sam was enjoying his life now. He was in a steady relationship with someone who accepted him and his brother and loved him. He had now been with June for going on 4 months and now Sam was thinking that he had found the person who he could spend the rest of his life with. Dean loved that his brother was now with June. He adored her and accepted her because she loved him and loved Sam, which was all Dean wanted for Sam. The issue of June not knowing about the supernatural though was weighing heavily on his conscience and Sam was preparing to tell her when the time was right. He just hoped she didn't run away from him.
It was a beautiful summer day in Sioux Falls. The family at the salvage yard were enjoying the easygoing times and Bobby had been repainting the house, making use of the good weather. Sam was checking the cupboards for what they needed for grocery shopping. He was about to call for his brother when Dean dashed into the kitchen with Bobby on his heels. Bobby was covered in blue paint, Dean squealed when he saw Sam.
"Sammy helps me!" he shouted and hid behind him. Bobby stopped in front of the brothers, looking furious. Sam was bewildered.
"Uh Bobby what happened to you?" He asked. Bobby breathed deeply before calmly informing him that Dean had come up behind him when he was he was removing old paint tins from a shed and yelled "Boo! I see you" making Bobby throw a can with a loose lid up in the air.
"Oh Dean that wasn't very nice to prank Bobby like that dude." Sam said trying to hide the laughter from his voice and failing miserably. Dean just giggled behind him.
"Sorry Bobby, I wonts do it again." He apologised to his uncle. Bobby shook his head at him. "Ah hell you just stay out of my hair for the afternoon." Bobby suggested to him. He never could stay angry with Dean now, no matter what he did.
Sam bit his lip, trying not to laugh at Bobby.
"Dean how about you come to the mall with June and me, you need some new clothes. Then we will get some groceries." He suggested.
Dean looked so happy at being invited, "Kay Sammy, I go get my money." He dashed upstairs for his wallet. He never really bought anything anymore, but now he was working for a small home repair and painting service one day a week instead of the three days at school, earning $50 for his services. Sam was glad Dean did this and that June had pushed him into allowing Dean to do it. His brother had been working for almost three months every Friday and loved it. He interacted more with people, mostly older women who adored him.
Dean came out of the house to the car where Sam was waiting. Sam grinned at his brother who was discussing whether to buy the new game for his Nintendo Ds that he wanted or some more paints. The new job had also started a love for painting and Dean was often found outside in his corner with Apple creating something.
"Well have you got enough for the game?" Sam asked him. Dean frowned thinking hard.
"I have my other money too Sammy you said." He was referring to the disability checks that he received each month. Sam nodded glad that Dean understood his finances more after going to more advanced classes at Crossing Boundaries.
"Yeah you have, but we need to get you some more shirts remember. I will help you add after and if you have enough, you can buy your game alright dude?" he explained. Dean nodded at him, hoping he really wanted the Mario Kart game.
They picked June up a short while later. She climbed into the back, leaning over and kissing them both, Sam more passionately.
"So gentlemen what's the agenda for this afternoon?" June asked them as they made their way to the mall.
"Well Dean needs more t shirts and shorts, I want to get groceries later but that's about it. Your plan of action my love?" Sam asked her.
She shrugged, "Makeup, then see what takes my fancy I guess. I would love something in red. Ooh a sale would be lovely." She said dreamily making the boys groan. Dean wrinkled his nose at that. He was not keen on shopping especially for clothes or shoes. He liked toys, art shops and auto stores they were more fun.
At the mall, Sam took Dean into a menswear store while June shopped for some new makeup. Dean was nightmare to buy clothes for now, he never kept his attention on looking and Sam hated to dress him like a doll in what he liked so he had to keep asking him to pay attention, and what he liked. Dean put up with it for a while, but within an hour, he was fidgeting and asking to leave. Sam sighed, knowing that he was lucky to get this much time in the store. He paid for the four t-shirts and three pairs of shorts for Dean and left to meet up with June at the food court. They sat at a quiet table with their food and discussed their purchases. June showed Sam a peek of her find of lacy red silk as she smiled that he would see it all later.
After lunch, Dean demanded to go to the gaming store. He had let Sam buy clothes and now he wanted his game. Sam could see that he was going to be in mood until he got it so he conceded with his brother and they hurried to the gaming store. Sam helped Dean pay for his game while June checked out a Wii and the current sports games on it, wondering if the game could be useful at her school. Dean practically danced out of the store and mall brightly telling Sam and her how cool this game series was. June had to smile at him, thinking that boys and their toys never went away.
In the car, Sam asked was their anywhere she wanted to go before the grocery store then home. Answering only the drugstore to refill a prescription she said no, Sam nodded and headed to it.
The grocery store was always an interesting experience with Dean. He found things to look at or made remarks aloud about people or items he came across. Sam's favourite was the time Dean insisted that Waldo was in the butchery department. It turned out to be the head butcher leaving for the day but that did not stop Dean from telling Sam and "Waldo" that.
As the family browsed the aisles, Sam and June discussed her upcoming birthday. The big 3-0 and whether she wanted a big deal about it or not. Dean was holding her hand tightly as he handed Sam various items they needed. At the cereal, Dean asked for a change from Lucky Charms and cornflakes.
"Ok what do you want instead then?" Sam asked him. Dean frowned at the shelves then grabbed a box of Froot Loops and placed it in the shopping cart. June shook her head.
"Processed sugar for more processed sugar. Dean Honey, how about something with wholegrain and fruit?" She suggested to him. Sam nodded. While he loved the cereal as a kid, now he watched his health as well as what he ate.
Dean scowled at them. "No want this instead." He growled before rubbing his eyes.
June soothed him, seeing he was getting tired. "Ok Dean lets get the milk and bread come on," She said leading him away for a bit. Sam smiled thankfully at her. He still could not believe how awesome she was and especially with Dean. He checked his watch and was shocked to see that it was nearly 4pm. No wonder Dean was tired and he knew that when it was too hot Dean got tired easily.
Paying for the weeks groceries, Sam drove them to the drugstore. He turned to see how Dean was doing and decided that he could wait in the car. He leaned into June to speak quietly.
"Hey do you mind if I run in and grab his things and you watch him? I can grab your prescription if you want me to?" He asked her.
She smiled at him, "Sure Sammy, here it is." She handed the prescription from her handbag, "Uh could you grab me my moisturiser as well. You know the brand right?" He nodded and kissed her in thanks before heading into the drugstore.
Dean always got crabby buying his training pants; no matter how many times Sam had bought them with him or Bobby. It was just a remnant of the old Dean in his brain somewhere. He handed in June's prescription and went to find her cream before Dean's pants.
He grabbed the brand Dean liked off the shelf before heading to the counter. He waited in line behind a woman who frowned at the incontinence items and moisturiser, muttering ok kinky under her breath before examining Sam.
Sam gave her cold look, daring her to say something before she lost her nerve and ducked out of line. Bitch he thought and reached the counter to pay for his items and the prescriptions.
As he reached the car and handed the bag through the open window to the back seat, the happy day ended as something rushed him and threw him to the ground. Hitting the concrete hard, he was stunned before protecting himself from the flurry of kicks aimed him. Rolling away, he saw a guy dressed normally with a evil expression on his face. His hunting sense told him demon.
"Christo" he spat out watching eyes go black. In the car, he heard June gasp and Dean shout monster. He felt for the holy water flask that he still never left home without.
"What the hell do you guys want now? Huh? Its Over!" Sam yelled at it.
The demon snarled at him, "It will never be over for my sect Winchester, you and your pathetic brother have to pay for what you did to our master."
Sam edged his way to the car then as the demon moved he threw the holy water at it, making its skin bubble and it scream in pain. He kicked it back then again before jumping in the car and speeding off.
Beside him, June was pale and almost freaking out completely. Dean was not much better, sobbing softly.
"I will explain back at home June I swear." He told her as she pulled herself together, nodding at him.
"But its skin Sammy what the hell was it?" She cried still frightened at the fight and what she had seen.
He sighed and watched her intently. As they pulled up at Bobby's, he said quietly. "It was a demon and it wanted revenge. Now get inside quickly."
Nodding at him, she hurried inside while Sam got Dean who was shaking.
"Its ok Dean nothing can get through Bobby's wards. Come on." He led his brother inside meeting Bobby at the door who had shut the door and checked the salt lines and devils traps.
After about half an hour, Sam and Bobby were certain that it was not on the property. The wards had held and the dogs were on guard but quiet. Poor June was still frightened but took Sam at his word that he would explain if she would give him the chance. Her mind had jumped to something out of her great Nana's
Stories and as she watched the men move around in quickly she wondered if Great Nan wasn't as crazy as her father had told her.
Dean was safe in the living room while Bobby and Sam checked the yard and bought the groceries and other things bought that day inside.
"You have to tell her boy, she's been calm enough so far." Bobby suggested to him. He really hoped she could handle this. He liked her for what she gave Sam plus how she adored Dean for all his handicaps.
"I know Bobby, but if she doesn't accept it I don't know what I will do" Sam said as the headed inside.
"Well boy, she is damn intelligent and I wouldn't right off so quick." He told him, "Go on I got this."
Sam headed into the living room where Dean and June were sitting. Dean was patting Apple and speaking to her completely in his own world. June looked up at him as he came into the room.
"Hey how are you?" He asked her. She gave him a shrug then asked him whether he was going to explain.
"Yeah, uh let's go upstairs." He suggested, and then led her to his room where she sat on the bed looking expectant.
"Ok let me tell you all of it then you can ask any questions?"
June frowned at him, but nodded that she agreed.
Sam took a deep breath, "Well ok, when I was 6 months old, a demon broke into nursery to mark me as his. My mother whom he Azazel killed interrupted him. My father took us on a quest our whole lives to find him and kill it as well as other supernatural evil that exists. Dean and I hunted all sorts of demons, witches, werewolves and heaps more." He explained the colt, how Bobby was involved in this, the angels and demons saga that dominated their lives as well as the role they played in it. He told her that Dean had gone to hell and Castiel rescuing him to the final battle with Lilith and the war over the seal to prevent Lucifer from rising.
"After it was over Dean couldn't deal with hell and living normally, the angel, Castiel gave him an option of innocence and Dean took it June, you see the results of it now. That's what we did before we settled here and what we really are." He finished somewhat exhausted.
June blinked at him before standing up and pacing the length of the room. She ran her hands through her hair as she continued to pace. She just could not believe it. Demons, angels, and all the rest!
Why she not running home now, clearly this situation was was insane. However, she did not want to leave Sam, she loved him and the life they had before coming to Sioux Falls made her just want to hold him.
Stopping her pacing, she peeked at Sam who was sitting on his bed with hands clasped together, letting her process the new world that she thought was all myth. His knuckles were white and he seemed sad. June sat back beside him, and as she did, he looked up and his face screamed his misery.
"Why are you so sad? I'm ok, so is Dean." She said. Sam sighed and shook his head.
"You're going to run. I hoped that you would be able to deal with my real life. I was planning on telling you soon, I just didn't expect to show you it so violently."
She scowled at him then smacked his hand. "You're an ass Winchester, I'm not going anywhere."
Sam gasped, "Really, you aint going to run away?"
"No I love you Sam, but I need so time to process it all properly, deal with it."
Sam nodded at her, grinning, "Yeah I get that, god your awesome." He said, making her laugh and hug him close. Sam wrapped her in his long arms stroking her dark hair. He was thankful she accepted it all rationally and not run screaming away from him.
Downstairs, Bobby was ringing some contacts for help with the demons as Sam and June came into his study. Dean looked up at them from the armchair he was huddled in, frowning.
"Ok June?" He asked timidly. She smiled warmly at him and came over to him.
"Yeah bud, I'm fine, a bit scared still though." She gently ruffled his hair.
"Don't be scared, Sammy here June." Dean told her smiling, so sure of his brother's ability to protect them. June looked over her shoulder at Sam who was speaking softly with Bobby about the demon and smiled.
"Yeah he can. Shall we go play your came in the living room huh, let them do their thing." She lead him out of the room, nodding at Bobby as he looked approvingly of her letting them work alone and deal with the crisis.
"She took it ok then I see," Bobby said to Sam. He really hoped that she had as the boys adored her and he always took her to be sensible enough to deal with the supernatural.
Sam nodded, "Yea but wants to be alone later to deal with it." Bobby grunted, thinking fair enough.
"So the demon, what's the chatter?"
"Nothing, it seems to be a loner demon. No large gatherings since the apocalypse. We have to trap it then exorcise it." Bobby said.
"Good plan, but June is staying here until it's over Bobby, her place isn't protected, and she's not safe."
"Course she's staying here, ya idjit, you think I'd let her walk out that door unprotected." Bobby growled at him, making him duck his head sheepishly.
"Now I'm gonna see to setting a trap, you go tell her she's stuck with us for the next while."
"Kay Bobby thanks." Sam headed out to find his girlfriend and break the bad news.
June was keeping Dean Company as he played his DS as Sam came in. She looked up, gave him a concerned look, and nodded down at Dean who had been quiet since the attack.
"Dean how are you doing?" Sam asked his brother sitting beside him on the couch. Dean chewed his lip and cuddled into him.
"Monster gonna come back Sammy, scared." He said voice muffled by his shirt. Sam held him rubbing his back.
"No it won't and remember it can't come inside. Bobby and I will make sure Dean." He soothed him.
"I tired Sammy," Dean whined to him.
"OK dude, how about some dinner?" Sam asked him brightly. Dean shrugged against him and allowed Sam to fix them all dinner. He picked at his food during the meal, and Sam had practically had to lift him up the stairs. He went over their usual nighttime routine, finding Dean was almost soaked through as he checked his training pants.
"Dean why didn't you tell me, it's not good for you skin to be that wet for that long," Sam admonished him. Dean whimpered and told him cause was busy with making sure June and the monster did not come back. Sam gently finished cleaning him up and tucked him into bed placing Apple on the bed.
"Dean your just as important as the demon and June to me, ok." Dean nodded sleepily and began to slip away. Sam stroked his head as he went to sleep before checking the salt lines and traps as well as turning on a baby monitor that was bought for this sort of situation.
June was waiting on the stairs for him. She smiled softly at him. "Deans asleep," he reported to her. She nodded before leaning into his arms for a moment.
"So I'm guessing that I'm stuck here for a while huh?" she asked.
"Yeah, It is just for the meantime and until the Demon is gone ok?"
She looked up at him, "Sam, its fine, I trust you and Bobby to get it. Besides it's not that awful being around you." She winked.
"Thanks for being good about this, June I don't deserve you." He told her sincerely.
"But you're stuck with me; I won't be going anywhere Sam Winchester." She told him. She had thought about it all night and was sure that while what they did was scary, they had done so selfishly and she was glad to be there with Sam.
Sam stroked her face tenderly. He loved this woman for all her spirit and strength and decided that the demon was really going to be made an example of for all the rest of their enemies. Do not fuck with Sam Winchester.
