A/n- Hello! Hehe writing like a mad woman…well not really but that just kinda sounds cool…or really nuts! Chapter 10 coming your way! It's a little long, but I just kept writing and couldn't find a good place to cut it. Little overlap from 9 in first few lines, just little reminder of where it went.

I changed Sam's Wife's name: Meredith or Merry. Betsy just wasn't working for me. Hope that's okay.

Chapter 10-

"Just got off the phone with mom…" Dean told Brook as he walked into her room.

She kept brushing her wet hair, "Really, is she ready for a mad crazy game of poker today!"

"No, Brook, mom can't have a long visit today. After lunch, Sam is going to take you back to his house because you have to help your Aunt set up the guest room for mom."

"Oh okay-WHOA!" she dropped the brush and turned to Dean who was sitting on her bed. "Mom is going to go and stay with Aunt Merry and Uncle Sam! She's leaving the hospital?"

"Well, we are all going to stay over there for a few days, but yeah. Dr. Resnick said that with the last surgery they got it all so he is sending her home."

"But why not here?"

"Well, Merry is a registered nurse, so she can help your mom with her medicine and stuff since she can't do it to herself."

"She is leaving the hospital though…right?"

"Yeah!"

She wrapped her father in a huge hug and asked, "When are we leaving?"

"As soon as you let go of me…"

"Okay, just let me finish my hair and pack a bag!"

"Whenever you are ready…"

Later…

Walking into the hospital, Dean and Brooklyn said 'hi' to all of Kyan's friends and co-workers. When they got to Room 1627, Brook took the lunch basket from her dad and practically skipped over to the foot of her mother's bed.

"I…heard a rumor that someone was getting out of a certain building in which they may or may not have recently been spending too much time…" Brook said cryptically.

"Really…well I heard that a certain someone, who shall remain nameless, recently turned sixteen and got a pretty amazing present from their dad and uncle and then proceeded to name said present." Kyan answered back, staring at her daughter.

"Really? That's interesting…"Brook said, never cracking a smile.

"Yes it is…Get over here and give me a hug!" Kyan said laughing.

"Happy VC Day mom!"

"Happy Birthday Brook!"

Dean, who had been standing just inside the door, was looking totally confused. "What in the hell is 'VC' day?"

"Victory over Cancer!" They both told him 'matter-of-factly'.

"O-k-…still don't get it…"

"Dean…last weekend, when Brooklyn spent the entire day here-we watched Band of Brothers…VE day was Victory over Europe…" Kyan saw that he really had no idea what she was talking about and decided to simplify it. "Inside Joke!"

"Oh, I got it now!" a wave of understanding washed over his face. He leaned over and gave his wife a sweet kiss.

Kyan, who had once been the ravishing beauty who had woken Dean from his coma wasn't really wasn't there anymore. Sure, she still had the same personality and dry sense of humor, but the Breast Cancer had taken a lot out of her.

A pale green bandana was in the place of her long brown waves and her once sun kissed skin was pale and sickly looking; although that day there was something different. Dean noticed that the eyes that had stared back at him with such emptiness and pain were replaced by the passionate and joyful gaze he fell in love with. Her news of being released gave Kyan a renewed sense of hope and he could tell that she was already on her way to recovering.

After eating the sandwiches that Brooklyn had so skillfully made for them, Sam stopped by to say Hi and pick Brook up. She gave her mom a hug and a kiss and with a string of 'I love you-s' left with her uncle to go get her mom's things set up.

Dean stayed back, waiting with Kyan for her discharge papers, but didn't seem like the smart ass guy he usually was.

"Why would you think like that!"

"Like what?" he asked defensively because Kyan had most likely gone into his head.

"Don't ever think about feeling guilty for your dad leaving." She said as she pulled on a sweater.

"No, I know, just sometimes I think about what it would be like now if he had stayed. I let him go after that thing alone just so I could live this life. I see how great you two are together and if he had stayed-You and Brooklyn never would have happened…"

"I know Dean…" she said as she gave him a hug, "It's okay to be happy that he left, but remember that he had to leave because he wanted all of this" motioning to the world around her "he wanted it for you. Don't feel the least bit guilty."

"Yeah…" he kissed her as Dr. Resnick walked in.

"Hey Kyan, Dean…I've got some papers for you to sign and then you both can be on your way." He informed them, handing the papers to Kyan.

She signed them with a smile on her face and handed them back, "Thanks Jed." Dean grabbed her bag and started out of the room with her.

"Hopefully I won't be seeing you for 3 weeks so…take care Kyan." Jed told her as he gave her a friendly hug.

"Yeah, Dr. Burke told me that I wasn't allowed to work for a while and Dean here won't be letting me do anything." She laughed, jabbing her husband in the ribs.

"Thanks a lot Jed, really." Dean said as he shook the young doctor's hand.

"Drive Safe Now!"

Kyan sat down in the passenger seat of Sam's car as Dean put her things in the trunk. "Remind me again why Sammy took the Impala with Brooklyn..." she asked as dean sat down.

"The Impala apparently has more trunk space for all the crap to move in with them." He said skeptically.

"Right…" she laughed, because Dean was thinking that Sammy just took his car to annoy the crap out of him.

She pulled out Sam's CD collection and pulled out the lone Metallica CD and put it in, turning the volume up. As they were driving, Kyan started to get a really bad headache. Various thoughts of pain, destruction, and death began to invade her mind.

Dean turned to her to see why she had tensed up all of a sudden. "Ky, you okay?"

She opened her eyes to see Dean looking over at her, and then saw a man standing in the middle of the road.

"Dean look out!"

A/n- Woohoo! Cliff Hanger! Just to say again, Sam is now married to Meredith…I'm going to go back and change that all on Saturday I think. Well, hope you like it…two days in a row!
